On Wednesday morning lask one Of the
most terrific accidents that has svsr happen
Cd In iSs.:s locality occurred a. the Green Pic,
belonging ~ the New British Iron Cogpany
near Raabon. by which ten men we're killed
aud fifteen injured. The canse OF th's sp-
palling accident was nm explosion Of gAs,
which occurred little after In o'clock, and
the effect Of which was not only severely
felt over ell the workings, but also ~ . dis
tanoe Of two miles. Il was also felt and
heard ut Ruabon, % also some distance on
the Llangollen line Of railway, and at other
places of equal distance from the scene OF
the explosion. Ii shook the very fcunda-
,ion Ct Plssmadoc, the residence Of Mr.
Whaliey. and greatly frightened the IN
mates The floor in the vicinity Of the
mouth OF the shaft wss torn up, and fully
testified TO the great force OF the explosion.
The No. shaft was Of course blocked up Tor
some time; Mr.. Ralph Darlington, under.
ground manager Of the pits, and Mr.. Robert
Taylor, underlooker Of the No. . pit, were
the frst who descended the No. shaft ar
ter the explosion. DR.. Burton, with Mr.. r.
Lloyd Evans, arrived ct the scene OF the ae-
cident 10 twenty minutes after il occurred,
and shortly afterwards Dr. Burton, with Mr..
Evans, the manager Of the New British Iron
Company, and Mr.. Pspplewell, engineer,
descended the pit for The purpose Of asoer-
tanning the number Of dead and wounded,
and TO make arrangements for those who
were only injured TO be brought out first.
There was, OF course, great difficulty In
finding oil who were killed, owing TO tbe
rubbish beneath which some Of them wore
buried. The excitement in the pit las so
great after the accident that the men from
all points rushed to the pits mouth, and
were the first to be drawn to the bank. The
men were afterwards wound up. and imme-
diately upon their arrival at the bank they
were attended to by DIR. Burton and bis as
sistants, and conveyed home IN carts which
were oFLered for the purpose. As soon rs
the accident became known the scene Of ex-
citemenS throughout the neighborhood was
intense, and half frantic women and chill
dren we're 70 be seen running from sd di-
reciions TO the pit, where the excit, ment was
increased by seeing some OF their relatives
or friends brought up either dead or injur,d.
Six Of the dead bodies aud all the injured

and those who were killed were placed in
the lsmp-room, and were soon identified.
They were soon Afterwards taken TO their
b fuses in conveyances. The remaining four
dead bodies we're drawn upt No. pit and
placed in carts in readiness. fbe scene Of
restoring the wounded some Of whom seemed
in very lifeless stale, was one Of The most
exciting character and la a few instances
it required good deal of time TO bring
some Of them round.

I'll Keep my Eyes Shut.

Little Henry had been quite sick.
When he was slowly recovering, and just
able to be up and about the room, he was
left alone a short time, when his sister
came in, eating piece of cake. Henry
mother had told him he must eat nothing
but what she gave him, and that it would
not be safe for him to have what the other
children did till he was stronger.
His appetite was coming back; the
cake looked inviting; he wanted very
much to take bite of it, and his kind
sister would gladly have given it to him.
"Jennie," said he, "yOu must run
right out of the room away from me with
that cake, and I'll keep my eyes shut while
you 90, so that sha'n't want it..
Wasn't that good way for little boy
of seven years to get out of temptation?
I think so. And when heard of it, l
thought that there are great many times

Root up the Weeds.

Two boys, John and Willie, were en-
ployed by the squire to keep his paths
weeded. John contented himself with
taking off the top of the weeds, so that
soon his path was cleared, and having
swept away the leaves, he went off to play
Willie was much longer at work, tor
he stopped to take all weeds up by the
roots, and he was well tired when he
went home.
But the rain came down in the night,
and when the boys master went to look
at the two paths, Johns wanted wedding
as much as ever, while Willie's was clear,
and only needed a few turns OF the roller
to make it perfectly neat. So John was
sent back to do his work properly, anc
very tired he would have been had no
Willie good-naturedly helped him to fin
ish his task.

CENTRAL PRESB TERI A N

The London Atheneum notices an
edition of Robinson Crusoe, lately pub
lished in England, in which all the words
are monosyllables except Friday aud
Xury. The following paragraph from
the notice is interesting:
"There is nothing forced, and the story
is told in one hundred and sixty-one pages.
So monosyllabic is our language, that a
person not in the secret does not soon
detect it either by ear or eye. We read
aloud to three persons, warning them to
stop us when anything occurred to re-
mark. Page after page, and nothing was
seen. though we often interrupted our
selves with, "Well nothing to say YETI"
The thing was not seen till five pages had
been read. We put the book under the
eve of a man well used to books, and
asked him if he observed anything pecu.

not notice anything. Defoe himself is
very monosyllabic; a page of narrative
taken at hazard gave at the rate of forty
seven words of one syllable to eleven Of
more than one.

Il Know All, but Somehow / Don't Care,

A minister visited an aged man, who
had regularly attended church services,
and spoke to him of Jesus; urging him
to accept of the offer of salvation, which
is made through Christ. The old man
listened attentively, but addressing his
pastor said, "Spend your time and
strength upon the young; labor to bring
them to Jesus; it is too late for such as
I. 1 know that | have never been a
Christian. 1 fully believe that when |
die, shall 90 to perdition; but some
how, I do not care. l know perfectly
we'll all you say; but | feel it no more
than stone.
How many have heard the simple story
of the cross so often that it fails to make
an impression upon them 1t was not
always so. The well-known story once
caused the now cold heart to thrill, and
prompted it to a life of devotion to God;
service. But its promptings were un
needed, and they became fainter anC
fainter, until they have almost ceased.
Parents and Sunday School teachers
the hearts of the little ones committed
to your care are moved, as you speak tC
them, Sabbath after Sabbath. You
words are calling loudly to them to begir
Christian life. With Gods blessing
your words will call forth the awakened
soul to fight the decisive battle with Sa-
tan. This struggle ended, each succeed.

make the impressions which they produce
less and less; yet they will ever be suffi
GENTLY strong, to lead life of constantly
increasing usefulness.
When the heart of child is touched
see to it that the impression does not die
away, without bearing fruit. Be faith
full in labor and in prayer, non. Each
Sabbath is making your work less prom
ising. Feel that the happiness of souls
throughout all eternity may be resting
upon your efforts to-day, and then, with
Gods blessing, you will never hear a
member of your class say, 81 know all,
but somehow | don't care"
