TWO YARDS OF EARTH.

Two yards of EARTH and marble bus:
Reared aloft from the common dust,
And hero's sabre covered with rust,
And the sunsets splendor streaming around,
And thousand glores under the ground.
Two yards Of earth and the potter's field,
With the merciful angels alone to shield
a murdercr's grave, a convict fled
Into the future to meet the dead;
And the rank wild grasses scattered around
And crimes and curses under the ground.
Two yards of earth, and heavens air
Tanning the lilies white and fair;
And modest volets gathered around,
And spotless virtue under the ground.
Two yards of earth and woman's name,
Whose life was woe and whose death was shame
And the cold rain beating naked mound,
And thousand miseries under the ground.
Two yards of earth o who shall say
Whether of these is the better clay
God give us grace in our hapless round
That leads to this kingdom under the ground

where the Independent Order Of Lunch
Publishers assembled in force. The
rapidity with which all were served
argues well for the future success Of
the restaurant. We saw two hundred

ing the kind Of an establishment Wheel.
ing has long needed, place where day
boarders can obtain their meals at
whatever hour may suit them, and
where the hungry traveller can at any
hour obtain anything in the range OF
the CUISINE he may be pleased to order.
If gentleman or lady wishes tea and
toast it can be had; if dinner for
twenty-five or fifty is wanted that can
be obtained. We are satisfied that the
enterprise will be a success, and that Mr..
Falloure will receive that patronage his
design to meet a public want merits.

SERIOUS AccIDESr.-Yesterday morn.
ing. an elderly lady /, named Mrs. Ben,
ford, resident of Grcleville, Ohio, who
has, with her daughter, been visiting
with Miss Kate Carver, on Main street
near Union, met with very serious
accident in having her thigh bone
broken by falling down stairs. She
had intended to leave for her home yes
terday morning on the early train, and
on waking up started to go to another
room. Forgetting all about the stairs,
and not seeing them in the darkness of
the early morning, she fell to the floor
below. Her daughter hearing her
mothers scream, ran to her assistance,
and she too fell down the stairs, but es-
capped with badly sprained hand. Drs.
Frissell and Wiesel were sent for and
rendered the necessary surgical aid.
The lady was quite comfortable last
evening, we heard.
