DIDN'T THINK.

Opening the door of friends house
one day, I made my way through the entry
to the small back court, where Ned, th'
only son, was crying bitterly.
"Ah, Ned, what is the matter
"Mother won't let me 60 fishing. Harry
and Tom are going to the harbor, and
want to co." Here Ned kicked his toes
angrily against the post to the great dan
ger of his new boots.
"Whose little dog is this?" I asked
as brown spaniel came bounding up tht
garden walk.
cit is mine," cried Ned in an altered
tone. "Didn't you know had one?"
"No, indeed. What fine fellow. Where
did you get him, Ned?"
"Father bought him for me. He is SC
knowing, and I teach him many things
See him find my knife;' and Ned, wiping
away his tears, threw his knife. into the
clover. "There Wag," said he, "now gc
and find my knife" Wag plunged into
the grass, and, after great deal of smell
ling and wagging, he came triumphantly
forth, and brought the knife to his young
master.
"Give it to him." said Ned, pointing to
me; and Wag laid it at my feet.
"This is knife worth having" said 1
'sfour blades"
"Tis real good one,' said Ned; sfa:
ther gave it to me on my birthday; and
he gave me a splendid box of tools, too. !"
Ned looked up brightly and quite forgot
his crying.
"Let me think" said I. "Was it this
knife that you hurt your foot so with?"
"Oh, nc" cried Ned, "that was done
with the axe; but I've got well now"
81 was afraid you would be laid up all
the Spring"
"Well, it was mothers nursing, the doc
tor says. Mother and father took great
care of me. 1t was lonely staying in the
house so; but mother used to leave her
work and read to me, and father often
stayed with me"
II should think you had very kind pa
rents, Ned" The boy looked down on
the floor, and a slight pout puckered his
lips. 81 suppose, there are none who have
your interest and happiness so much at
heart"
"But I want to 60 fishing" muttered
Ned.
'sAnd can't you trust them, Ned, and
willingly agree to their wishes? You may
not know the reason why they object to
your going; but, from all your expert
ence Of their kindness and wisdom, are
you not sure that they would not cross
your wishes without good reason for doing
so?' And surrounded as you are by so
many proofs of their love, will you sit
there and murmur and cry, and fill your
heart with angry and stubborn thoughts,
because of one little denial of your wants
Is not this poor and ungrateful return
for their kindness? It is little enough
that child can do for parent, and that
little he ought to do most cheerfully. I
suppose, the best return child can make
to parents is a cheerful obedience. How
small that seems And will you grudge
giving that, Ned?"
Ned looked sober. Tears started in bis
eyes. "Oh, SIR" said he humbly, 81

it,"
"Didn't Think" is at the bottom of a
great deal of our ingratitude and murmur.

HOW HE LIFTED THEM.

The Augusta Constitutaonalist reports
the following ''yarn," spun from Alabama
material:
An old negro was met on the road in one
of the rural districts of that important third
part of Meade's third military domain, by
an enterprising white man, who engaged
the aged colored man and brother in 8
highly edifying conversation upon the state
of the country and kindred topics. Uncle
Sambo, in answer to the question, "Did
you vote?' replied in the affirmative
whereupon the traveler-from the East
informed him that it was his mission to seek
such loyal citizens of African descent as
had thus manifested their devotion to the
country, and to place in the possession Of
esch, four stakes, with the letters gu. S.
painted in red on the side of each. With
these stakes each colored voter was tc
s'stake out" forty acres of land anywhere
he might select, and it should ever after bt
his.
The ssfee" for the stakes was only ter
dollars. Sambo had only four dollars anf
seventy-6ve cents. The man of stakes con
sented to let Sambo in for that amount !; h
gave him four of the painted stakes and {
receipt. Sambo, greatly elated with hi
good fortune, proceeded to his old home
Informed his former master of his luck, anc
very magnanimously told him that he woule
not take ''any of ole massa's land, but woulc
pick out forty acres jining." ''Ole massa'
asked Sambo what he had to show beside:
the stakes. Sambo triumphantly drew ou
his ''ceipt," as he called it, which read:
"And there were giants in those days
and as Moses lifted up the serpent, so hav'
I lifted this old fool niger out of four dol
lars and seventy-6ve cents"

. THE AccrDFET OF TEE BosToN AND MAINE
remarkable accident On. this.
Boston and Maine railroad, briefly ad7eI1ed TO
in our dispatches yesterday, is thus described
by the Boston journal:
An accident, fortunately not attended with
loss of life, occurred Wednesday evening about
halfpast six 1sciock at the darw-bridge of the
Boston and Maine railroad, near Prison Point
Cbarlesfnwn, The draw had been removed
tor fhe purpose of the passing through of a
steam tug, and yet remained open as The six
o'clock train from Medford approached. The
usual signal had been hoisted, but the clouds
of smoke thrown out by the passing tug, it is
said, obscured them from the sight of the en-
gineer Of the train, who discovered the actual
condition OF things too late to check ats prog
ress. The engine, tender and baggage car
went into the abyss, while the forward one of
the three passenger cars was carried with fnll
force across the opening, striking the forward
end against the further abutment of the draw
aud there lodging The engineer leaped into
the water and swan ashore without other in
jury than cold drenching. The fireman leap
ed upon the bridge and also came off unhurt.
There was some twelve passengers in the for
ward car who were pretty badly shaken up,
and received some scratches and bruises
Some ladies' were among the passengers, and
as the upper end of the car was completely
smashed in by the collision hole had to be
cut through the root before they could be re-
lieyed from their distressing situation. All, so
far as we could learn last evening, were able
to return to their homes without assistance -
Late last night the engine, tender and bag
gage car remained submerged in the channel
which has depth of ten feet at low water, and
IL will probably be some days before they can
be removed.
1t will be recollected by many that an acct
dent ola similar character (which, however
Involved serious loss of life,) occurred at the
same place several years ago, and which
prompted the existing legislation upon the
management of trains on approaching draw
bridapq
