AwARNrNG TO MOTHERS.
BY JOHN QUILL.


The following account of the latest
nitro -glyeerine accident ia too funny
to be withheld:
This horrible tale was related to me
BY Archibald Haggerty. the young
eeutleman who blacks boots:
''Mr. Quill, you see Joe McGinuis
and me, and lot of us fellers was a
DIayin' marVels down to Pine street
wharf one day, and Joe McGinnis had
no luck. He bloWed on his alley, and
said oouiurin' over it, and spit on IL,
aud said fen everythings, but 'twau't
no use, for us fellers won his common
ers, and his bulls eye. and hts glass
agata, aud his white alleys. until Joe
Just busted out cFyin /, and went and
set down on board, and rubbed bis
fists into his eyes like he was tTyin' to
gouge 'em. And Us fellers we didn't
pay no tention to Joe McGinnis, and
we went on playin' aud playin', and
never saw that Joe had gone and sot
down on q place where some feller had
been shippin' this yer nitro-glycerine.
And that there stuff, you kaow, Mr.
Quill. il had been and leaked out all
over that there board on which Joe
McGinnis was sittin', and the frst
thing Joe McGinnis knowed, his
pants was soaked with nitro o-glycerine,
ike he had sot down in the river
Yes. il was. And Joe Mcginnis when
he felt It a gittin' damp, be praueed
home and thought he'd dry them pants
of his'n BY the stove. But, you know,
nld Mrs. McGinnis, when she seed
Joe, she was mad as fury. and she just
rose right up and snorted:

and she grabbed a hold of Joe, and
lay him across her lap this here way,
you know. Then she lifted up that
there Bumber sixteen fist O hern in
tendin' to spank Joe McGinnis like
sin. But when she struck that nitro
pIvcerine Mr.. Quill, wasen't there a
regular Dustin out of things +! Je-ru
salem I guess so ! There was a kind
of a grumble aud roar, and a rarin'

the size of a marvel. and he never
knowed what aided him. while Mrs.
McGinnis went a pitchen' through the
ceilin' and the garrett about ten thous-
and miles. along with chairs and stove
pipe, and pans and cats, and soup
tureens and one thing another and
she never come down again, she didn't.
And that was what allied Joe MeGinnis
and Mrs McGinnis. as sure as you're
born. And now, MF. Quill, couldn't
you give a feller a quarter for Christ

Il was a sad fate, that of young Jo-
seph McGinuIs; and what a solemn
warning Il conveys to mothers. How
careful should every parent be 10 ex-
anime her child's tFowsers with chem
ical tests for nitro glycerine before
infiieting punishment. Let mothers
lay the lesson to heart, and resolve
hereafter to exercise loving vigilance,
lest they. too, should perish as this
wretehed Mrs. McGinnis did, without
q chance to get off any last words.

adapt itself to any stage of the water, being
hungBO upright posts, to which are attach
ed guide bars upon which the gate rises and
falls, on friction rollers, with the rise 4 fall
of the water. It Is also so arranged that in
ordinary times il stands upright, but may
be allowed to swing over and float upon the

HOW THE GATES CANE AJAR.
N ITALIAN LEGEND.


Twas whispered one morning in Heavel
In the shade uf the great wide portal
Sat sorFOWfng night and day.
How she said to the stately warden
He Of the key and bar
20 angel, sweet angel / pray you,
Set the beautiful gates aiar.
Only q little, pray youy
Set the beautiful gates ajart
II
sfI can hear my mother weeping;
She is lonely; she cannot see
A gIimmer of light in the darkness
Where the gates are shut after me.
Oh turn me the key, sweet angel,
The Eplendor will shine so far!''
But the warden answered: ''I dare not
Set the beautiful gates ajar."
Spoke low and answered. Il dare not
Set the beautiful gates aiar?
III
Then uE0 rose Mary the Blessed
Sweet Mary. MoEher Of Christ:
Her hand on the hand of the angel
She laid, and her touch sufIieed.
Turned was the key in the portal,
Fell ringing the golden bar;
And 10 in the little child'S fingers
stood the beautiful gates ajar!
In the little chIId-angeI's fingers
Stood the beautiful gates ajEr
'iAnd this key for no further using,
To my blessed son shall be given
Sald Mary, Mother of Jesus
TendetesG heart in Heaven. --
Now, neYera sad-eyed mother
But may catch the glory afar;
Since safe in the Lord Christ's bosom
Are the keys of the gates ajar:
Close hid in the dear Christ's bosom,

A SPLENDID LOT OF WnEAT.-In our
walks to and fro from the heart of the city
we pause daily to admire a lot Of wheat be-
longing to one Of our bank officials, which
we are free to say gives promise of a more
bountiful yield than any we have ever seen
The lot contains precisely one acre. 1t was
in wheat last year, and produced forty bush
els from dressing of about 300 pounds Of
superphosphate. This may be supposed to
have been nearly exhausted by SO heavy a
crop; and last fall at the time Of seeding an
additional application was made Of 500
pounds of fine bone-bone meal. We should
adjudge the present crop to be not less than
SO per cent. better than the last. 1t stands
evenly over the ground neck high, the ears
of large size and crowded together, all we'll
"thirded" and a good portion "fourthed. f"
Farmers, who are familiar with these terms,
will of course be- able to estimate liberal
product; an expert, such as We have seen,
could tell by the eye what it will be within
two Or three bushels. Our own opinion is
that it will not fall much if any short Of 60
bushels, if no casualty befalls it between now
and harvest. It will probably be ripe from
the 10th to the 18th Of this month. Tho
variety is the German AMBER" grown in

a Coon UNION MAN.-In the United

said: [ present the memorial of David
Fultz, of the town of Staunton, Virginia,
who represents that he was the owner of a
large farm near that town, and that Federal
soldiers under the command of Generals
Hunter and Sheridan, when they passed
through the Valley, took and carried away
from him nine valuable horses, all of his
grain and provisions, and entered his dwell
ing and broke and destroyed and carried
away many articles of property and some
family relics of great value, leaving him
without the neoessaries of life. He also sets
forth that he never, by word, act, or deed,
aided or abetted the rebellion, but, on the
other hand, he had uniformly denounced
secession as an abominable political heresy,
and rebellion as the madness of folly and
wickedness He therefore prays that, being
a loyal man and friend to the Union, he
may be speedily compensated for the actual
losses sustained by him. know him per-
sonally as man of high standing and good
character, and hope the prayer Of the pc
titioner viii receive the favorable attention
of the Committee On Claims, to whom [
move the reference Of this petition,
