OUR ANGELS.

The following beautiful lines were written by
Adelaide Anne Proctor, who was "a member OF the
Roman Catholic church.
cur God III Heaven, from that holy place,
70 each OF lis an Angel guide has glven
Bat mothers OF dead children have more grace
For they give Angels to their God and Heaven.
How can Il Mothers heart feel cold or weary
Know ing her dearcr self safe, happy, warm:
How can She feel her road too dark or dreary.
Who knows hertreasurc sheltered from the storm
How can she sin: Our hearts may be unheeding,
our God forgot our holy Saints deficd;
Bat can II mother hear her dead child pleading,
And thrust those little angc-hands aside!
Those little hands stretched down to draw her ever
Nearer TO God by mother love;-we all
Are blind and weak, yet surely she can never,
With such a stake in Heaven, fail or fall.
She knows that when the mighty Angels raise
Chorus in Heaven, one little silver tone
l. hers forever, that one little praise,
one little happy voice, is all her own.
We NAV not see her sacred crown OF honor,
But all the Angels fitting to and fro
Pause smiling as they pasS-thcy look upon her
As mother of an Angel whom they know.
one whom they left nestled at Mary's feet
The children's place in IIeaven-who softly sing.
A little chant to please them, slow and sweet.
or smiling strokes their little folded wings;
or gives them Her white lilies on Her beads
10 play with yet in spite of flower or song,
They often lift wistlul look that pleads
And asks her why their mother stays so long.
Then our dear Queen makes answer she will call
Her very soon: meanwhile they are bcgulcu
10 wait and listen while she tells them All
A story of Her Jesus as child.
All, Saints in Heaven may pray with earnest viii
And pity for their weak and erring brothers;
Vet there is prayer i'll Heaven more tender still
The little children pleading for their mothers.

The perlous leap of Frank Thorne, in Buff

The perlous leap of Frank Thorne, in Buff
talo, N. Y, from the top of Watson's Eleva
tor, structure 1875 feet in height, into the
dock, on Wednesday last, was witnessed by
at least twenty thousand persons of all ages,
sizes and sexes. Five o'clock was the Four
named for the fool-hardy jump, and a quar-
ter of an hour later tho impatient crowd were
stilled into breathless silence as Thorne made
his appearance, attired only in red flannel
breech-clout and u pair of light calf-skin
boots, on the edge of the roof and looked
down into the water beneath preparatory to
throwing himself from his dangerous posi-
ton. After sitting for few moments to
thoroughly compose himself, he stepped out
upon a trail platform extended from the
building and advanced to its extreme edge
He twice waved his hand to the people so
anxiously and nervously watching him, and
then sprang out into the air. The leap was
fairly made, and for about a quarter of the
distance down he descended in very nearly an
erect position; but half way down. to the
horror of the spectators, he gradually turned
forward, and at last struck the water upon
his right side, with tremendous and horri-
flying conclusion, the descent occupying 10
seconds A rush of boats Immediately took
place towards the spot where he went down
For few seconds the surface of the water
che will never come up again." but Just as
an expert swimmer on board one of the
boats was about to dive for the rash adven-
turer, he appeared again to view, was seized
upon by persons in the boat and carried
ashore. When taken into the elevator he
fell powerless to the floor, dripping with his
blood, which the shock had forced out
through the skin Of his right side, arm and
thighs, the left leg having apparently been
advancing little in front Of the other as he
struck. The shock to his system was indeed
a most terrible one; yet he is thought to have
raising of blood being caused by the rupture
of the small capillares of the lungs. He
will probably be y long time in recovering
his usual health, and his condition will likely
be such as to render his proposed suicidal
leap at Niagara Falls, on the 18th, an impos-
sibility.

THE BATTLE OF BLENHElM.

>ou;hcy's famous Battle of Blenheim" has doubt
less occurred to many persons within the past week
who will be glad to see it repeated The future
Kasper however, will be able to tell what the grea
war of 1870 was about. when he recalls the waste'
country by the many thousand bodies that lay rot
ting i'll the sun after the great victory. The LITTLE
Peterkin of that period will learn that it was be
cause n Prlssian King spoke disrespectfuly to
French ambassador or something of that sort
1t was summer evening
Old kasper's work was done,
And he before his cottage door
Was sitting in the sun:
And by him sported or the green
His little grandchild Wilhelmine.
She SAW her brother Peterkn
Roll something large and round.
Which he beside the rIvulct
In playing there had found;
He came to ask what he had found
That was so large, and smooth, and round.
old kasper took it from the boy,
Who stood eXpectant by;
And then the old man shook his head,
And with natural sigh
Ills some poor fellows SKULL said he
who fell in the great victory.
Il find them in the garden,
For there's many here about:
And often when 90 plough,
The pioughsharc turns them out
Were slain in the great victory.
Now tell us what twas all about
Young Petcrkin he cries;
And little Wllhemne looks up
With WOnder-Waiting eyes
'Now tell Us all about the war.
And what they killed each other for
SIT was the English" Kaspcr cried,
Who put the French to rout;
But what they killed each other for,
| could not well make out
But every body said" quoth he,
That twas Il famous victory.
NV father lived ut Blcnhcim then,
ON little stream hard by:
They burnt his dwelling to the ground.
And he was forced to fly;
50 with his wife and child he fled,
Nor had he where to rest his head.
"'Wh fire and sword the country round
Was wasted far and wide;
And many child and mother there,
And newborn baby died.
But things like that, you know, must be
At every famous Victory.
They say it was shocking sight
After the field was won
For many thousand bodies here
Lay rottng in the sun;
But things like that, you know, must be
After 4 famous victory.
Great praise the Duke of Marlboro won,
And our good Prince Eugene
''Whv, twas very wicked thing"
Said little Wilhelmine.
"Nay-nay-my little girl quoth he.
lit was famous victory.
And everybody praised the Duke.
Who this great tight did VIM
But what good came of it 1t last:
Quoth little Peterkn.
"Why, that cannot tell" said he:
But, twas a famous victory.

The Hartford Post tells of Il natural Gas
near Erie, Pennsylvania, from which for sew
eral years q large brass toundery and brass
finishing establishment has received all it's
supply of Night and fuel for the engine and
for heaing purposes. The gas is conveyed
to the establishment Of IL. Jarecki & Co., in
a three inch iron pipe a distance of about
twelve hundred feet, and its quality is so
pure that no previous refining is required to
fit it for use in the gas burners. The sue
cess OF this attempt, says the Post, which
was first an experiment, made about four
years ago. has melted others to sink wells
for supplies of gas, and now large soap
boiling establishment and grist or Touring
mill are similarly run, and one other smaller
establishment is also furnished with gas for
heating purposes from wells bored for the
purpose. The flour mill spoken of is bored
four hundred and ninety three feet, at a total
expense of 81, 800, and has plenty of gas, suf-
ficient at least, to supply fuel tor boilers of
eighty horse power capacity. The estimated
saving in the expense af running the mill,
exclusive of the wages of liremen, hauling,
storing, and handling of coal is about So 900
