one pound of it will be found equal to three

one-haIf the time and labor usually spent IN
washing and whilst its washing and clean
sing properties are really astonishing. II Is
guaranteed not to I'M are the clothes. As
Soap is an article used BY everybody, We
deem it an advantage 10 all our readers to
thus direct their attention 10 this new candi-

and ANONYMOUSLY, 1 followed HIM with my
eyes, trying to fancy how he would like
nothing for living.
He walked to the mantle-piece, glanced
in the heavy framed plate glass mirror,
adjusted his cravat, and after fumbling a
moment in his pockets, Withdrew his hand

a few steps, fell upon the carpes
We ran to him, and saw acrimson stain,
gradually enlafging itself upon his shirt
bosom. drew his hand from his breast,
and found tightly clenched in it, a-little
parlor-pistol, which would make no noise
not SO much as the popping of a cham
pagne- cork-especially when fired under
meath the vest and coat.
Before we could rise him up, and lay
him upon Il sofa, he was dead. The ball
had penetrated his heart, and his feye.ish,
sad life of unnatural gayety was over.
The affair was. hushed up by the pro-
prietor, who did not wish it to be known
as occurring in his house, and by Mrs.
Seaville, who did not wish it to be known
at all. They buried the poor boy, as a
last act OF lenience, beside the grave of his
love, and let us hope, tenderly and char
itably, that he had not sinned too deeply
to be permitted to meet her above, in
land where the stern laws of caste cannot
sunder two hearts that beat only for each
other. .....

what am Editor Might have Been.

Holland. the editor of the Spring field
MASS. Republican" has been up to
Vermont, where he came from, and he
thus sketches what he should have been,
il he had not left home and become an
editor:
"Your correspondent would have grown
stalwsft and strong, with horny hands,
and face as black as the ace of spades.
He would have taught schools winters,
worked on farm summers, and gone out
hayinS fifteen days in July, and taken for
pay the iron-work and running gear of a
wagon. At two and twenty, or therea-
bouts, he would have begun to pay atten-
,ions to girl with father worth two
thousand dollars, and a spit curl on her
forehead--a girl who always went to sing
ing-school, and set in the seats and sung
without opening her mouth-a pretty girl
anyway. Well, after seeing her home
from singing two or three years, taking
her to Fourth-of- July celebration, and
getting about hundred dollars together,
he would marry her and settle down.
Years would pass away, and that girl with
the spit curl would have eleven children
just as sure as you live-seven boys and
four girls. We should have had a time in
bringing them up, but they would soon
be able to do the milking, and help their
mother wash-days, and 1, getting inde-
pendent at last, and getting little stiff in
the joints, would be elected member of
the Legislature, having been an assessor
and school committeeman for years. In
the evening of my days, with my pipe in
my mouth, thirteen barrels of cider in my
cellar, and newspaper in my hands, 1
should sit and look over the markets,
througha a pair Of gold-mounted spectacles,
and wonder why such strange, silly
piece as this would be published"

The Late Railroad Disaster.

W. j. Hawkes., Esq, of Charlestown,
Va, who was IA passenger on the tram,
furnishes the following thrilling account
of the late horrible accident on the Mich.
gan Southern Railroad. He was swept
forty feet down the stream from the point
where the train was precipitated into it,
He says: .
On reaching the shore I stumbled over
ran-turned and found him alive. l
asked him his name. He replied, "Wal-
worth" I could not raise him, and went
to the cars for assistance, passing Ten or
twelve dead bodies on the beach. Ar
irving at the wreck, found some one had
procured light-returned and found
Walworth dead. He was large, fine
looking old gentleman. l afterward as
sisted his son in his last moments.
The first thing that arrested my atten-
was, that | was standing on a pile of dead
bodies. One man l thought alive and
gazing into my face. L turned the lamp
around, and the glazed eye of death told
me that all was over. A lady had her
arm clasped around his neck. with fright
full wound in her head, her feet caught
and crushed in the wheels of the car. AT
their feet lay beautiful boy, with his head
severed from his body as close as it could
have been done by the guillotine. Some
were just in the pangs of death. Others,
caught and crushed by the falling timbers,
begged me to kill them and put them out
of their misery. There was . lady, going
to meet her husband, with her daughter
six years old, and babe at the breast
The mother and little girl were killed.
The mother had clasped the babe in such
a manner that it was unhurt. .....
The ground was strewed with heads,
arms, legs and dead bodies. I saw sew
eral with their backs broken and their
lower limbs paraIyzed, writhing in the
sand. Some Of them would clutch me as
l passed, with grasp from which it was
almost impossible to free myself. Several
beautiful boys and girls were taken from
the bank. They were drowned, but looked
beautiful in death. Others were crushed
between the wheels, with their faces and
hands upturned in supplicatng manner.
| passed woman "who begged me to
find her children" She was crying,
80! my dear family; my six children. -
Both of her legs were crushed off below
the knee. She lived ten or fifteen minntes.
afterward assisted in taking two of her
children from the wreck, dead. Two
more fine boys of hers were found-one
with his leg cut off; the other had lost
his arm, and both were living when l
left.

A Good E'hing i'm the Story Line.

Some years ago, Cincinnati paper re-
ceived and printed the first chapter OF what
appeared to be most thrilling romance,
in the expectation of being provided with
the concluding portions as might be
needed The chapter was very ingeni-
ously written, and concluded by leaving
the principal characte, suspended by the
pantaoous from the limb OF a tree over
perpendicular precipice. 1t attracted the
attention of the press, and the inquiries
began to be made concerning the continu-
alton of the fate Of It's hero. Day after
day the v,ctimized publishers looked for
the remaining chapters, but in vain
They never came to hand. Finding that
they had been sold, and wishing to put a
