Transcript.
Voyager on life's troubled sea,
Sailing to eternityl
Turn from earthly things away
Vain they are and brief their stay
Claiming down to earth the heart,
Nothing lasting they mpart-
Voyager what are they to thee!
Leave them oil and "follow me-"
Traveller on the road to life
Seeking pleasure-6nding strife
Know the world can never give
Aught on which the soul can live;
Grasp not riches-seek not fame
Shining dust and sounding name!
Traveller what are they to thee!
Leave them all and "lollow me-"
Pilgrim through this "vale of tearsp'
Danish all thy doubts and fears;
Lift mine eyes-a heavens above,
Think-there dwells God of Lowell
Woulo' thou favor with him find!
Keep his counsels in your mind?
Pilgrim much He's done for thee
Wilt thou, then, not "iollow me"
Wanderer from thy Fathers throne,
Hasten back-thy errings own;
Turn-thv path leads not to heaven!
Turn-thy faults will be forgiven;
Turn-and let thy songs of praise
Mngle with angelic lays,
Wandererl have they charms for thee
know they have-then "follow me-"

DREADFUL EXPLOSlON.-F1R


WITH LOSS OF LIFE. A most distressing
casually late y occurred in the upper part
of the city, by which two lives were lost, and
two other persons were so dreadfully injur-
ed, that their lives are wholly despaired of.
The accident occurred at the Firework Lab
oralory and Varnish Factory Of John Tyr
rell, situate on Bowery Hill, so called,-lhe
high ground bounded by Sd and 4th aven-
ues and 18th and 10th streets. 1t appeared,
from evidence before the Coroner. that two
of the workmen, named Joseph Ryder and
James Hanson, were engaged in charging
some rockets of a large size, for which pur-
pose, an iron rammer was used, and during
the process, probably the hammer fell on
some hard substance, and thus elected a
spark, that coming in contact with a large
quantity Of combustible materials (among
which were barrels Of gunpowder,) caus-
ed the explosion. By that the whole build
ing was instantly demolished Ryder and
an apprentice lad named Phillip Moore,
were Instantly killed, and their bodies torn
and mangled so dreadiully, as 10 be with
difficulty recognized. James Hanson who
was engaged in charging the rockets, was
thrown through window, over two story
building and lodged in a bank of earth,
which number of workmen were engaged
in excavaling. He was taken 10 the hospit-
al, utterly blind, and in the most agonizing
and hopeless condition
JOHN Becklege, another workman, was
thrown considerable distance, and was Ia
ken up MORALLY wounded and conveyed 10
his friends. Phillip Moore was an appren.
tice, young man Of great promise-he was
just entering the door with bucket OF wa.
ter, when the explosion took place, and was
instantly killed The deceased and wound
ed, were all men Of the high respectable.
ty. Ryder, has left wife and four chill
.dren TO deplore his untimely fate The
Coroner, who was called to view the bodies,
rendered u verdict of accidental death. Dur.
ing the examination. one of the sons of Ry-
der came in to look on the mangled corpse
of his parent. The scene that ensued was
truly heart rending in the extreme. The
agony ofthe young lad can be better mag
ined than described 1t was with difficulty
that the child could be torn from the body OF
his deceased father.
Two other workmen, named John Bran
nayan and Daniel Titus. employed in the
premises were fortunately absent at the mo-
ment. Brannayan, had just leltfor the day,
and Titus but the instant before entered the
door of the adjoining factory. Such was the
intense heat, from the explosion, that the
Varnsh Factory was instantly in flames,
and was also totally destroyed with It's val,
liable contents. 1t seems from the evidence
adduced before the Coroner, that the most
culpable neglect and imprudence prevailed
IN the management ofthe Laboratory. The
powder and fire works, and other articles of
the most combustble and dangerous nature,
were suffered TO lie about on every hand, in
the most negligent confusion, so that in case
oil accident none other than the fatal result
we have recorded, could well huppen.-N
