TERRIBLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BY Now
ING MAcHINE.-On last Friday evening about
six o'clock George F. Shelmire, proprietor of
the Spread Eagle tavern, ct Huntingdon Valley,
Pa, met with an awful accident accidentally fall
ing over a moving machine while it was in mo-
ton. One of his hands was cut entirely off
above the wrist, and the other one cut through
the wrist and the hand nearly off. The wounds
were dressed by Dr. B. c. Snowden, assisted by
DIR. Charles Fl. HILL They are trying to save
one hand, but the probability is that it will be
impossible to do it, even if he revives, which is
very doubtful, on account of the loss of blood -
He was moving distance from other hands, and
some time elapsed before they were aware of what
had happened; and then considerable time inter-
vened before the physicians arrived

THE WEDDING OF THE SEAsoN.-The New
York correspondent of the Boston Journal
says
"Of all the weddings that New York has
seen this century, the one to come off on the
18th of July excites the greatest interest. The
bridegroom is Spanish gentleman of the age
of sixty years, small and light of frame, but
heavy in gold. His wealth is said to be ia
bilious The bride is young damsel, poor in
purse, but ofmarvellous personal attractions. -
She is quite young, of queenly form and of ma
jestic elegance that commands the attention of
all who pass her in the street The stories told
of the preparation, dresses and bridal presents
are astounding. Her bridal veil cost one thou
sand dollars. The bridal jewels one hundred and
fifty thousands dollars. Tiffany is making the
bridal wreath. None of your hot-house plants
will adorn the brow of the young bride But
the wreath is of gold and adorned with iewelry
Of great value The staid bridegroom is Cath
olic and will call in the aid of all that is gorge
GUS in his church to add to the magnifcence of
the wedding"

A TOUCHING INCIDENT the Masonic
Festival in Medina on June Oath, there was a
banquet in the evening. Among those present
was Ossian E. Dodge, who, ofcourse, was called
onto sing. The song he selected was the Snow
Storm written by Seba Smith. Mr.. Dodge,
before singing the song, narrated the incident to
which it related In the year 1921 Mrs. Blake,
with her husband and child, was crossing the
Green Mountains during snow storm, and lost
their way When discovered by some persons
in search of them, Mrs Blake, was frozen to death
and Mr. Blake almost unconscious Near the
dead body of Mrs. Blake was little hillock of
snow, on removing which was found bundle,
which, when unwrapped, was found to contain the
babe alive and well, wrapped in the clothing the
mother had taken from her own person. When
taken up the child looked into the face of its res
cuer and smiled During the singing of the
piece gentleman and lady in the audience were
deeply affected, and wept copiously. The ma
jority of the audience sympathized with the
couple, and wept also. The gentleman was the
Hon. Ell. G. Blake, son of her who had persisted
in the snow, and brother of the babe and the
lady was his wife Cleveland (Ohio) Herald

Night.

The sun is sitting in the west 1t
seems to 20 down behind tho hills Bark
ness is creeping over the valleys The
birds have ceased their song, and are
getting into the forest Of the thick
branches of the trees.
The hen has gone to her shelter and
gathered her chickens under her wing,
The flies and gnats and butterflies arc
gone to rest. The COWS and sheep have
laid down to their repose.
Stiffness seems to have come over the
wsrld. The sun has set 1t is dark. 1t
is getting chill and damp. 1t is night
Do you see the little shining points in
the sky? What are theyY We call them
stars, but they are worlds far away, and
probably they are covered with trees and
hills, and rivers, and cities, and people.
We can not 20 to them, nor can any
one come from them to tell us about them
They are Gods worlds, and they are no
doubt as useful as they are beautiful.
How wonderful is night How fearful
would it be if it were to last forever,
But we know the sun will come tomorrow
to give us its cheerful light and heat
Let us 20 to rest, then, for night is made
for sleep
But let Ms first think of that great and
good being who has made all these Wen
Iers of nature Let us put our trust in
Him In His care we are safe. But we
must ask His protection, and seek His for
giveness for all our faults.
Oh, how fearful would it be if there
were no God How sad would it be if
we were to be unkind to others, and to
feel that He might not be kind to us
How sad would it be if we were so wicked
as to feel afraid of Him, the best and the
kindest of all beings
This would indeed be dreadful But
we may all be good if we try to be So.
Even if we have done wrong we may go
to Him and ask His forgiveness; if we ask
sincerely, lie will not refuse it.
Did you ever disobey your father or
mother, and, having done so, have you
not begged their pardon? And having
done this, have you not been forgiven ?
And is not this forgiveness pleasant to
the hearth Let me tell you, that God is
rs ready to be kind and forgiving to His
children as parents are to theirs.
Let no fear of God, then, prevent your
loving Him, praying to Him, or asking
His forgiveness. The more you have
sinned, the more careful you should be to
look up to Him, aud pray to Him, and
ask His counsel and pardon Those who
have been most wicked have laost reason
TO love God; for His kindness is great
enough to pardon even them.

Mn WEBSTER AND THE PLAYERS
several summers ago, party of players
from the theaters in Boston, while fishing
off MarshGeld, found themselves destitute
of ice. They knew, by common report,
that Mr.. Webster resided near by, and
thew resolved to make known their distress
to the Secretary 1t fell upon MIR. James
Ring, by lot to bear the message. IT
happened that the sage of Marshied
was standing at the front door when the
actor approached the house. Mr. Ring,
in q becoming cxordium, mentioned the
character of his companions and where
they came from, and closed by saying,
"rhey have deputed me, sir, to solicit
from you piece of ice for butter which
is fast melting into thin oil. " The states
men surveyed the player, and then shou'
ted to MILAN, the servent, "Get tho
gentleman some ice for his bu-t-t,o-r,
which is fast melting into thin oil.
The next day Mr. Webster Was fishing
in the bay from his own boat. The
actors saw him, and invited him on
board their craft. He complied, and
thoreupon the entire company greeted
him cordially, and handed him glass
with ice in it, with view Of asking him
to partake of wine, lie looked at the ice
steadily a moment, then 6 glanced at the
faces Of all present, until his eyos rested
on Ring, when he exclaimed in tone Of
mirth which his host could not counter
felt, "Where is the DurTER? Where is the
BUTrERY' Unto this day Ring tells the
story of his search for his butter, and
his interview with Danial Webster, with
delight Boston Courier.

"sea reading" we clip from an exchange
"Men seldom think Of the great event OF
death until the shadows fall across their

is the great antagonist of life, and the
cold thought of the tomb is the skeleton

appeal or relief from the great law which

Not At Home.

Il never" says lady, "sent that mes
sage to the door but once, and for that
once l shall never forgive myself. It
WAS mere than three years ago, and when
| told my servent that morning to say
Not at home, to whomsoever might call,

friend, | felt my cheeks tingle, and the
girls look surprise mortified me exceed
ingly But she went about her duties,
and | about mine, sometimes pleased
that / had adopted q convenient fashion
by which could secure time to myself,
sometimes painfully smitten with the
roproaches Of conscience. Thus the day
wore away, and when Mr.. Lee came
home he started mo with the news that
very entimate friend was dead.
" Tt cannot be- was my reply, for she
sxaotede of asolemn promise that | would
sit by her dying pillow, as she had some
thing Of gre at Importance to reveal to me.
You must be misinformed; no one has
been for me-. Here suddenly horrible
suspicion crossed my mind. "
"She sent for you, but you were not
at home, said Mr. Lee innocently; then
he continued: i am sorry for Charles,
her husband; he thinks her distress
much aggravated by your absence, from
the fact that she called your name pitt
uusly. He would have sought for you,
but your servant said she did not know
where you had gonc. II am sorry. You

had placed it out of my power to reprove
