THE WIrE.-Here is the best tribute
to true woman we ever read:
Only let woman be sure she is pre-.
.cieus to her husband-not- useful, mol
valuable, and not convenient simply, but
lovely and beloved; let her be the recipi
ent of his polite and hearty attentions,
let her feel that her cares and love ore
noticed, appreciated and returned; let
her opinion be asked, her approval sought,
and her Judgment respected in matters
with which she is cognizant; in short, let
her only be loved. honored and cherished,
in fhiRllment of the marriage VOW, and
she will be to her husband, her children
and society a well.spring Of happiness.
She will bear pain and toll and anxiety,
for her husbands love to her is tower
and fortress. Shielded srt sheltered
therein, adversity will have lost its sting.
She may suffer, but sympathy will dull
the edge Of sorrow.
A honse with love in it-and by love !

and deeos, for have not spark OF iaith
m love that never crops QUITS to q
house without love as person to g ma
chine: one is life, the other is mechan.
ls,n--the unloved woman may have bread
just as light, a house just rs tidy as the
other, but the latter has spring of beau
ly about her, joyousness, penetrating
brightness to which the former is an, en-.
tire stranger. T deep happiness of her
heart shines out in her face. She CLEANS
over. 1t is airy and-graeeful, and warm,
and welcoming with her presence; she is
fill of devices ahd4plots, and, sweet sur.
prises for her husband and family. She
has never done,>with the romance and
poetry Of life. She herself is 3. lyric

RAILROAD DISASTER.
Train Thrown from the Track
Miraculous EHCapO,

The Pittsburg Commercial of August ! says:-
The Chicago express tram on the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway, which left
this city at $50 o'clock yesterday morning, met
with quite a serious accident near Birmingham
Station, about seven miles down the road. AT
that point the entire train, consisting of the
locomotive, tender, baggage and smoking cars,
and four passenger coaches was thrown on the
track by two spikes which lay across one of the
rails. The locomotive ran against the bank on
the right of the track, damaging it very con-
sidera6ly. The tender was thrown over the
embankment, while tue smoking and baggage
cars we're thrown to the edge OF the bank, and
were badly damaged. None of the passenger
cars went over the embankment but some
OF them were badly damaged by being
crushed together. The engineer of the trains,
william Tabor had his right arm broken, and
was otherwise severely injured, by being pitched
violently against the boiler. When discovered,
he was lying in front of the furnace of the
engine, and might have been fatally burned had
rot assistance been rendered him when it was.
The fireman and other employees of the train
escaped uniDjured. Strange TO say, none of the
passengers received any serious injury, and
nearly all escaped with slight bruises or cuts.
One of the passengers gentleman, had his
hand severely cut by beng thrown against the
| window. curious circumstance happened to
| one of the male passengers. He was standing
near the door of the car at the time Of the acct
| dent, and the force of the collision pitched him
| through the glass door of the Car in which he
| was through the window in the door the other
| car. All the injury he received was some SLIGHT
| cuts from the glass. THIS is about all of the
passengers that were injured in any manner
| worthy of notice.
The spikes which caused the train to be
| thrown from the track were placed there either
| by some malicious person or by some child.
| tlme before the train came along, aud it is pro.
aDie paDie that they may have placed the spikes on
| the track.

discovered to be in flames, and soon after was
totally destroyed, valuable horse perlshing.
The fire communicated with the house, which
was wholly destroyed. Most of the furniture
was saved. The loss is estimated from $4,000 to
$4,000. About half an hour after the first fire
commenced, another was discovered in the bot.
Ting factory Of George Ripley & Co., on Hales-
brook, north of the jail. Although half mile
distant, 1t is believed that this took fire from
sparks OF the other fire. The main mill built of
stone, 1875 feet long and stories high, with q
large attic, the boiler house, and a storehouse
full of material, were totally destroyed. The
engine was saved. The loss is probably $50, 900
