That part of the building used for the con-
hnement Of malicious persons was arranged
with u tier Of cells on each side, and par
tition through the center, leaving hall on
each side OF the partition, extending to the
back yard AMI also to the interior of the
building, where large Stove answered the
purpose Of warming ;he inmates, by their
coming into the hall. An iron grating o:
partition kept the paupers from coming di-
rectly 10 the stove. Mrs. iuldah Mprri-
son was released from her cell t. warm
few minutes. Her little by about
years old. was in the room where the stove

TERRIBLE CATAsTR0PHE AT Has rINGs,
MISNEsorA.--W learn by gentleman
from Hastings. that on Tuesday the 2nd inst,
a terrible acctient occured there, Involving
the loss of four kres. The rope ferry at
that place had been in operation nearly all
winter. but was interrupted for week or two
recently by the increased severity of the
weather. The tIflw and raiUs however, OF
the lew days back induced the ferrvman to
cut out the ice in the way of the passage OF
their boat across the river. This made u
narrow channel with ice on either hand
Between three and four O'Clock in the after
noon of the day mentioned, the ferryman pro-
ceedel to take over three passengers in a
skiff these were Mr.. ScDonald aud his wife
who had house and farm on the opposite
bluff, and gentleman from Pfesc o't, name
unknown. When midway of the river tire
wind forced the ssf against the edge
of the ice on the ice on the low er SIDE
when it is supposed the suction of the cur
rent suddenly capszed the boat, ana before
any of them Could jump upon the~ice 10 save
themselves, :he passengers. ferryman, boa
and all, were drawn down. and disappeared
under the ice, to appear no more. The fer
| rymaEs, wife stood Oh the bunk and saw tht
sad accident which buried her husband fFan
before her eyes into eternity. Mr.. and Mrs

.KEEP TO The RIGHT, j,

What a text for sermoni | wonder if
the painter of those words upon hat rough
board knew that he was going to be street
preacher, and to the wandering and wayward
soul, point the way. 'All men are preach
ers,' says German provero, forever point
ing to others the way, but never walking
therein themselves Every man who paints
upon board keep to the right is preach
er whatever his life may be. IL this one
command stood alone in the book called
holy, it would be sufficient guide to Heaven.
Keep to the right on the highway. No
matter whether poverty in rags, or wealth in
ermine meet you, if you move steadily on to
she right of life's highway. Never ask what
saith law o- custom; ask which is the right
way, and zeaIousIy walk therein. Keep to
the right, young man! Your beautiful sis-
ter is pressing her face to the window pan
watching for your coming. She loves yoE
with all the ardor of her poor young soul;
>ao to her, and learn wisdom and purity
Your mother awaits you. She has whisper
ed your name in her sweet pray ayer-has ASKED
good angels to lead yop away from sin and
temptation Your good father weary and
4 worn has gone to his dreams, saying as he
! went-sWould to Heaven my child would
keep to the righln
keep to the right daughters of fashion!
Avoid the path marked out for you by soul
less men and weak-minded women; it leads
through thorny ways, to an early grave
Do not barter your glorious inheritance for
glitter and gold in their whirlpool of folly.
TO the right you will find true, brave hearts
to welcome you into the field Of earnest la
Dor. There will you learn Hfe's great les
son--ifs holy mission.
keep to the right faltering sister! Let
!. not the syren song Of the seducer lure you
into the crowded path on the kft--it leads
TO degradation. Robbers are in the way,
who steal your peace OF soul, your angelic
beauty, and your priceless purity.
True, the path at the right has few travellers
but the few are glorious souls. They have
not bowed down to the golden gods of mans
making, they have not borrowed the fiimsey
garb of virtue of the Lord, nor masks from
sham Christianity to serve his majesty the
devil in. They have asked the nearest way
10 Heaven, and are clearing aroad that way
Keep to the right. y
