John Lsnahsm, was employed in
cartiug broken stone for the horse
path, from q point near the Mfonoe-
oey Visduct. When the passenger
car passed him in the morning, his
horse took fright, and was for some
time unmanageable. With sssis-
lance, however, be was kept on the
track, aud after some time Lanshsm
proceeded with his load. Bot the
horse, still agitsted by his late fright,
made . sudden start, on some slight
noise, and threw Laoahan, who at
tempted to hold him, in such q way
that The wheel Of the cart, heavily
loaded, passed over his ANGLE, aud
severed il almost entirely from the
leg. He was Immediately taken to
the Aims House, where smputatioD
was resorted TO, as the only means
likely, or rather possible, to save his
life. But IL did not await: and the

Pull up, my boys, turn quick the rOHnce
And let the work begin,
The world is pressing on without,
And we must press within
And we who guide the public mind,
Have influence far and wide,
And all our deeds are good, although
The devirs at our side.
Let fly the friske, now, my boys!
Who are more proud than we?
While wait the anxious crowd without,
The force of po,cer TO see,
So pull away-none are so great,
As they who run the car;
And who have dignity like those
That practise at the bar.
And you who twir the roller there,
BE quick, you in>y man,
Old Time is rolling on himself,
So beat him if you can;
De careful Of the Hght and shade,
Nor let the sheet grow pale;
BE careful of the monky looks
OF every head and taie.
Though high in office is our stand,
And pi-ous is our case;
We would not cast a siur on those,
Who ill our lower place;
The gaping world is fed by us
Who retail knowledge here;
by feeding that we .feed ourselves,
Nor deem our fare too dear
Pull up my boys, turn quick the rounce,
And l'us the chase Wen join;
We have deposits in the bank,
Our drawers are full of coin;
And who should more gently cut
A figure or dash?
Yet sometimes we who press so much
Ourselves are pressed for cash.
