Men try to bury The floating dead of
their own souls in the wine-cup, but the

bubbles. The intoxication of drink sets
the world whirling again, and the pulses

but fast clocks run down sooner, and an
unnatural stimulant only leaves the house

OUR DOUBLE NATURE.

OUR DOUBLE NATURE.
Two lives the meancst of us live;
One which the world beholds and one
Whose hidden history mono may give
But he who lives 1t he alone
Its wondrous extacies can know
Its ever changing streams of thought,
Its deep unutterable woe,
Its visions bright and heavcn-fraught.
lie DER its secret sins may groan,
And blush to hear the common praise
or actions which, if rightly shown,
Could only loudest censurcs raise.
He DER its noblest may rejoice
Though mono the virtues can behold;
For acts that win the common voice
Demand blazonment of gold.
And so with full potential power
For vilest sins or purest deeds,
We pass through life and win dover
OF mingled praise and blame, that needs
justor judge the scales to hold
Than ere on earth weighs cause and deed,
Ourselves and God alone behold
The motives which to actions lead.
And thus we gather fame and shame,
Alike uneared-alke untrue;
Receiving praise where mon should blame,
And blame where praise is rightly duo.

Gas Explosion.

A large gas holder at the Cincin
natl Gas Works, containing 375,0OC
cubic feet Of gas, exploded yestcr
day at q few minutes after IL
O'clock, with strange conclusion,
whose effects were more severe at
considerable distances than near
by. Buildings were 3haken, and
glass broken near half a mile away,
while near by the effects were less,
Persons tell that they felt the heat
of the flash across the river, and
at as great distances on this side.
The cause OF the explosion is un.
known, and there is no theory that
accounts for it satisfactorily, One
remarkable feature is the little eff
feet ofthe concussion in the imme-
diate vicinity for from what we
know of the explosive power ofgas,
by the accidental ignition Of small
quantities, there was the material
here for an explosion greater than
that Of Gen. Buffers powder ship,
But the effects, especially in the
ncighborhood, were not so great as
we might expect from what we have
seen Of gas explosions on small
scale,
The statement Of Samuel A.
Thomas, the engineer, that he saw
the bursting of the gas holder and
afterward the ignition of the gas,
suggests the theory that the holder
had become defective and burst
from the pressure Of gas, and that
much of this had escaped into the
air at considerable hight before i'll
became ignited, which was, proba-
bly,, from q chimney Of the works.
This explosion, high in the air, may
explain why the conQussion was
greater at places more remote. IT.
being the noon hour, twenty-oneI
men, who hRd been engaged in
painting the holder, were at dinner,
save 'McKinsey who resolved to
stay on account Of the difficulty of
descending, and who was burned

arge body Of gus that exploded,

The Ohio Statesman proposes
to fight the campaign in Ohio, this
summer, on the Fifteenth Amend
ment, Perhaps the Statesman will
not have its own way altogether.
1t may be called upon to account
for the fact that a Democratic Leg
islature costs the State a hundred
thousand dollars a year more than
a Republican, The people of Ohio
will think twice before paying that
amount TO keep few hundred col
ored men away from the ballot box.
