Come to Me i'm Cherry Time.

y
BY GEORGE P. MORRIS.
Come to me in cherry-time,
And, as twilight closes,
We will have merry time,
Here among the roses!
When the breezes crisp the tide,
And the lindens qulver,
In our bark we'll safely glide
Down the rocky river
When the stars with quiet ray,
All the hill-tops brighten,
Cherry-ripe we'll sing and play
Where the cherries ripen!
Then come to me in cherry time,
And as the twilight closes,
We will have a merry time
Here among the roses.

EEw YoRk, Sept. 30.-A few minutes after six
o'clock this morning, the boiler used for cook-
inE purposes in the Girard House, exploded
with fearful crash, instantly killing Jobn
0Tonnor. plumber, and injuring the fremun,
John Collins, to such an extent that his recor-
err is impossible. The boiler was situated in
the basement, and the whole building was eha-
ken By thu explosion. There was barber shcp
on the first floor, which although not directly
above the boiler, was literally blown in pieces,
the floor and furniture being thrown together IN
. heap Of confusion and ruin. There were two
BARRIERS in the room at The time, sleeping in tie
ehairs. They were thrown up to the ceiling.
but strange to say, escaped without injury.
The marble floor Of the building was torn up
in several placcs In The hall Of the private eli
trance partition several feet in length has sunk
down some inches: in the room below there is
also mass Of ruins. The windows were bro-
ken. and everything piled up pro,niscuously.
At the time Of The accident there Was a quanii-
Is Of water in the boiler, which tho engineer
supposed rendered it safe, and the cause Of The
catastrophe ia not known. Another small boiler
in the same room exploded; 0'Ccnnor had been
fixing it, and had just com pIcted the work md
seated himself near the fire. Collins was r.
moyed to the hospital. The Coroner will hold
