SPEAK NOR TO HIM A BITTER WORD.

Would'st thou a @anderer reclaim,
A wild and restless spirit tame
Check the warm iow of youthful blood,
And lead a los, one back TO Godt
Pause il thy spirits wrath be stirred
Speak not TO Him a bitter word
SPEAK not--that bitter word may be
The stamp that steals HIS destiny,
Hwidely no hath gone astray.
And dark excess hath marked his way,
IT'S piafal but yet beware,
Reform must come with kindly care
Forbid thy PARTING lips to move,
Lave In the gentle tones of hove { "
Though sadly his young heart hath erred,
Speak not 10 him q bitter word.
The lowering frowa' he viii no. bear,
The venamed chidinFs will not hears
The ardent spirit will moi brook
The stinging tooth Of sharp rebukes
Thou woald'st not goat the restless steed,
TO calm his fire or check his speed;
Then let not angry tones be heard
Speak not TO him a bitter word.
60 kindly to Mm-make him feel
Your heart yearns deeply for his veal;
Tell him the dangers thick that lay
Around his "wldely devious way !" .
So shall thou win hfm-call him back
From pleasures smooth seductive track,
And warning thou hast mildly given,
May guide the wandercr up to Heaven.

gT The Quebec Mercury states that an in
genioss mechanic in that city, of the name Of
LeMoine, has invented a fire engine, which
combines great power, with the means of pro-
vidine against the freezing Of the water during
the excessive cold OF our winter months. The
novelty consists in the Introduction of a small

AnNIvERsAHy or THE BATTLE on BAtTf.
moRE-Dreadful rail read aceilsnt.--Our rea-
ders have been already informed tba, the sur
viving "Defender6 Of Baltimore" had made ar
rangements for celebrating tie twenty. ninth
anniversary of their victory of 1914, by a visit
to York, in Pennsylvania whittier they Ind
and where the Hospitality Of the citizens Of The
borough had provided a handsome entertain
ment for their enjoyment.
II now becomes our duty to record a most
melancholy accident which interposed to mar
the festivities Of the occasion. Notwithstand-
ing the inclemency Of the weather, from ff-
teen to eighteen hundred persons left Balti-
more for YORK on Tuesday morning, in four
separate trims of cars that we're provided for
their accommodation. The first train was
composed OF ten cars, in which were all the
"Defenders," about two hundred and fifty in
number, and the greater part Of their military
escort, consisting of eight volunteer companies
the three oihertrains containing the remain
der of the escort and a large number Of citi.
zens who had chosen this method Of celebra-
ting the day-all buoyant with anticipated
pleasure. E.
The trains bad proceeded On their journey
in safety until they reached a point within g
miles Of York, when the front axle Of the first
passenger car broke, throwing that car and
the two following ones off the track, and pro-
dueirg & scene Of confusion and dismay which
il is impossible to describe. All three Of The
cars were splintered, and one Of them almost
entirely demolished; and a number Of persons
who were standing on the platform in front of
the cars were thrown of, some of them being
caught between the cars and others forced un-
der them. Some of those who had thus ex-
posed themselves to danger escaped unhurt,
but eleven were mere or less seriously injured,
though fortunately no life was lost on the spot.
Medical attendance being at hand, it was ien-
dered to the wounded persons as soon az they
could be extracted from the ruins, subsequent
" to which they were conveyed to the hospi-
tai az York where they were well provided for.
Nat. Intel.
Eleven persons (among them two Of the We
terans) were more or less injured by the above
accident, and one Of two SO badly as not to be
expected to survive.
