SERIOUS ACCIDESr-FoUR MEN ISJuREp. -
One Ofthe most serious accidents that we have
ever been called upon TO record, occurred at
the corner of Park and Saratoga about four
o'clock Thursday afternoon. Six persons in
the employ Of Mr.. Rosensteel, were engaged
in painting The outside of st. Alphonsus
Church, when the out riggers TO which the
scahO.d was attaohed, broke of and precipi-
tated four Of them to the pavement, iniuring
them very severely il not mortally. James
Connolly had both legs and both arms broken.
and fell upon the iron railing with such vio-
ience as 10 cause the point Of one Of the bal
isters to prctrude through the feshy part OF
the thigh, thereby greatly lacerating the limb
and creating dangerous wound. Henry
Gaylord had one leg and one arm broken. ami
received serious internal injury. John Morti-
ner and Thomas Burns had no limbs broken
but were severely injured internally The
other two on the scafold ut the time of the sc-
cident were Henry Jewell and James Hannah,
both Of whom escap ed uninjured; the former
by jumping upon an adjoining seaffli and the
latter, who Is boy, by catching hold Of
rope TO which the scafiold was attached
After the occurrence Connolly, Gaylord and
Burns were conveyed to the Infrmary on the
corner Of Green and Lombard streets, and
Mortimer, who was an apprentice, was taken
10 the residence OF Mr.. Roeensteel, on the
corner Of Mulberry and Park streets They
were severally consigned 20 the hands Of skill
full physicians. and everything was done for
them that human nature could devise rhev
ar. all considered 20 be in O critical condition,
and doubts are entertained Of their recovery.
The OCCASION Of the accident wa. the breaE-
inc of the out Tiggers. 1t is stated that the
men weEs aboat changing positions on the
scafcld, when one Of the riggers turned, and
being OF brittle material, broke of near the

The indulgence in secret practices is the most

all ages have been most unanimously of the opin-
ion that the loss of one ounce of the seminal Sc.

ounces OF blood. One Of the FIRST writers on
medical Jurisprudence states that threefourths of
the insane owe their malady to such abuse.

An Ode to All Mankind

BY j. C. YOUNG I'D.
All We who suffer, ponder whilst you read,
As It's your case alone, not mine plead
Ye who have felt, or feel them, know the pangs
Man doomd has to bare, when the remorseless
fangs
Of dire disease, is fastened in his soul,
When he would seek the dagger or the bowl,
To end his misery by the potent spell
Ofdeadly poison or the polished steel. morn
Ye who have writhed and groaned from night to
Cursing the hour that ever ye were born
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze,
Hoping twould quench the flames that madly
burned
In every vein, as if your blood were turned
Tn molten lava
To him who hath felt this
I need not speak, as he knows what it is
But such as only feel the incipient spark,
Should read this DER, and every sentence mark
Upon the tablets of their memory,
As none may tell how he'll tomorrow be
But all should know, in dark afflictions hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To ease their pain, so prompt, they'd think my
hand
Must surely grasp Necromancer's wand
Like some good Genii of the olden time,
Whose every act bespoke his power sublime,
Within this ity-throughout all the State,
In every town and hamlet, small or great,
Some can be found who know the power WELD
Having tried it-knOw it was to them shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
Upon Scamanders banks, in battle bore
They know it saved them from the blush of shame
Preserved their health, and dearer far their name
For who'd confess the pain that spoiled his rest
Sprang from source impure, to say the least
Ye suffering thousands who may read this DER.
Remember, ALONE can you restore
To healthand usefulness.
That you may know
| have the means and power for doing so,
l here will state. Let each one note what sav
My motto always is-NO CURE, NO PAY.
I'm found with ease my names on every tongue,
The sutf 'rers friend, and yours too,

Hard Times.

"How's your health this morning?" we
inquired few mornings since, OF a man
about thirty years of age, whom we had not
seen for about two years, but who during
our acquaintance we had known to lay up,
at his business. from three to four thousand
dollars annually.
81 don't enjoy very good health at all this
season." he replied, land the fact OF the
business is Inever expect to again. have
no appetite nor ambition, for business Is
dulI. and has been for the last year, and in
deed for the last six months | havn't met
nv expenses. It's not only hard times here
in the city. but it's Just the same all over
the New England States An immense
sight of money has been carried off to Cali
fornia. and we hav'nt as yet got the returns.
It's hard times in New Hampshire, hard
times in Maine, and hard times all over the
country. L met a lot Of young men out to
the race-course yesterday, and they all said
it was the hardest times they ever saw in
their lives"
"How did you get to the background ?'
we inquired.
The cOuntenance Of our friend suddenly
frightened up, as he replied
81 drove out there with my span of grays !;
/ have got a little the 'Sassiest' span of
grays that you ever saw in your life They
amt exactly two forty, but they are good
for three minutes, any day and if you want
to go out to the background some day, I'll
put you through in little less time than
you ever went it before"
Stepping little nearer our friend, we in
quired at what hour we should probably
find him in his Office, if we calld, when
there came from his mouth an odor quite
different from cologne, as he replied =
"Well, don't know really, any particu-
lar hour that / shall be in, am called out
so often lately /; but if am out, you'll find
on my slate when | shall probably return. -
The secret was solved The wonderfully
hard times was accounted for. Instead of
continuing to attend to his business, he had
taken to drink, attending horse-races, and
supporting team that was worth from four
to six hundred dollars
When next we hear a man complaining
of hard times, we shall get very close to him
and ask VIXEN the next race comes off and
if he can tell we shal consider it unnecessa-
ry to make further inquiries.
