Ingratitude--An Allegory.
Translated from the German.
BY T.. GREY.

n wise and venerable Bramin of the
East, whose austere virtue and ex 2ansive
b%enevolence, bad wca for him gifts of
mighty power from Vishna, while nIedi-
tating in his solitary walks, beheld asmall
dog fleeing in terror from a f%erocious mas
tiff. The pursuer fast gain. d upon his
painting prey, and had already crushed
him to the earth beneath his heavy paw,
preparatory to devouring him. The good
bramin promptly interposed for the pre-
%servation of the oppressed, and by the ex-
ercise of the mighty power which his deity
had given him, at ono changed the little
dog into a powerful tiger. The tiger pros
trated the mastitf with a single blow, and
revealed in his life-blood. The bramin
turned and fled in terror from the spot
When being questioned why he feared the
tiger and fled from him, when the latter
had so much cause for gratitude to him, as
the preserver of his life, he answered.:
liam the only living person that knew
him as u little dog!"
And such is life. Gratitude for favors
received is too often smothered in hatred
IoT Inc SlNer, BECAUSE Oh MS knOWlettSS Oh
the recipients former destitution. In mis-
cradle, false shame concerning former cir
cumstances ofp,verty or misfortunes over
Which he could have %nocontrol, man often
loses sight of the real shame which lie
should feel for the want of gratitude to-
ward his benefactor. In fact, the very
sense of obligation to gratitude seems to
engender hate in some minds, and a venge-
full thirst to iniure those who have bene-
fitted them. There are many tigers of to-
day in the world, who were puppies yes
terday; and having slain the mastiffs
which sought their destruction, their eyes
glare wildly in search o: their benefactors
who have known them as puppies, that
they may Stay til IN too, ard thus oblite-
rate all knowledge of their mean origin.
The moral is. kind reader, when you
make a great man of a puppy, expect no
favor from him, look for no gratitude, for
he will assuredly draw up the golden lad
der which you have helped him to mount,
lest you should seek to follow him.

Another Terrible Explosion.
TWO PERSONS KILLED.

About four o'clock yesterday afternoon
our city was the scene Of another of the
terrible steam boiler explosions which
have, throughout all the country, become
so alarmingly frequent oflate. From some
cause not assigned, and it may be, never
discoverable, the boiler in the Congress
Mills on Main and Twelfth streets explo-
ded, instantly killing Mr.. John b. Smith,
the engineer, and a colored boy, whose
name we did not learn. The boiler was
rent into fragments and bricks and mortar,
covered the ground about the mill.
Reuben Dolloray, a city express boy,
was sitting in his wagon near by, at the
time of the explosion, when a part of the
boiler or timber struck the wagon, tearing
away the hinder part and throwing the boy
violently against a wall, injuring him
badly.
The mon killed We're horribly mutilated,
Mr.. Smith was a married man. and to his
family and friends this shocking death is
peculiarly aff1icting.-Gate City.
