SPAsMoDIC PIETY.-A quaint wri-

sors of religion to 'shee: iron stoves
heated by shavings." When there is
a little reyiving in the church, they
all at once fame up and become ex-
ceedingly warm and Jealous. They
are ready to chide the pastor and ell
ders for their GOODNESS and want OF
activity. But, alas ! the shavings are
soon burned out, and then the 'heat
goes down as it went up. They are
never seer in the prayer rooms, OF
more spiritual meetings of the church

CoLLIsIoN.-On last Friday, tn e
through freight, due here at 6:15 A.
M. did not arrive until 1890, on ac-
count of a collision, about two and a
half miles west of Polk Station. The
through freight was followed by an
extra, and from some cause or other,
the speed of the extra was suddenly
increased until it collided with the
through freight. The extra engine
struck the caboose, throwing it from
the track, completely demolishing it;
and damaging the engine considerably.
The conductor of the regular train
was in the caboose at the time of the
collision, but strange to say, was not
hurt. II was a miraculous escape,
indeed; the caboose being hurled
down the embankmcnt, and turned
upside down. 1t is supposed that
the engineer of the extra was asleep
at the time of the collision.

them internal long tailed dresses ?
What sense or economy is there in
wearing such outlandish apparel p?
The only thing they T fit for is to
sweep from the sidewalk old cigar

we see a woman with one of those long
trail dresses on, we know she has a
soft place in her head. Wear your
dresses as your mothers wore them
of proper length-if your feet are

ought to have too much of the womall
