AT PITTETON.
By Z. EoRhAY GUNNIsoN,

During the disaster at Pittston, McDermott.
the Engineer of the Breaker, stood at his post
OF DUTY, hosting the men from below, until his
hair was burned from his head, his clothing
from his body. ard the flames had disabled his
engine. Does history record higher herosm y
All it was grand
In the midst of tho fame and the sm eke Of tt ke
Breaker.
There stood McDermott, the lever ia hand
Calm at his duty, and swore by his Maker,
Never to leave iii the last man had risen
Out from the fire and death of his prison
Standing alone
BraVely and sternly, urmoved at bis DUTY
Meath him the moan
Of the victims, and round him the fire 6epds'
wild beauty.
No not alone for form there stood by him
Nervlng his arm, that the flames might not
try him
Fast his endurance-God s angel was nigh him.
Rafter and she'll,
frame work and network, and brace of the
Breaker,
Crumbled and fell, and the breath Of the Ma
ker.
Seemed destruction beneath him the hell
Of the pit yawned : and around him the FIRE
bilows swell
Flamed from the depths of the psrilous crater |
Still there he stood, while his courage rose
greater
Standing alone with his God and Creator.
Black ened and scared,
Scorched and ds6gured, in suffering and glory,
He is endeared
BY the dread ordea!-msde desthless in story
Nobler than leader in battle or foray
Tears of the dead
Scorn for the men who for gain sold their broth
ers
Into the bed,
Where vapor and fire damp dsfgures and
smothers
When all is said
And the last prayer Ger the victim is given.
Leave the dark picture, and give thanks to
Heaven,
That one true man, all this foulness could
leaven.

EGfnagEe's Elephant.

The following we find In a NeH York
paper, but cannot say where il originated:
Mr.. Hufnagle purchased an elephant in
India, and brought it home under the
care OF native keeper. The design was
to tsach him to do farm work. When
the animal arrived, it was ascertained
shat he could not, or would not do such
labor, and SO he was put iu the stable of
q country tavern, near New Hope, where
be consumed enough sustenance TO bank
rupt man of ordinary wealth
One day his keeper died suddenly, and
nobody else knowing how to manage the
elephant, it was found impossible to get
him out of the stable. The landlord
raVed and swore, and tore his hair about
it, but there the elephant stuck, with the
manifest intention Of staying there till tue
day OF judgment, and of battsriDg down
the stable, unless ne was fed,
AT last the landlord said the elephant
must be got rid of some how or other, if
he had to be blown through the roof with
gunpowder. So an effort was made to
sell him, and q menagerie man was in
duced to buy him for two thousand dol-
lars. This man determined 10 bring that
elephant right along with strategy. He
got car on the railroad track near by.
and, after fixing bridge to it, be lined
the floor with bushel or two of apples.
gingerbread, oranges, etc, then he made
regular pathway o apples and cakes all
the way from the stable to the car. 1t
| coat him two hundred dollars for bait
The elephant followed the trail slowly,
eating 1t up clean as he went. He went
up on the platform over the bridge, and
gorging himself all the time. The me-
nagerie man stood there, expecting every
minute he would 60 clear into the car,
and finish the thing up but instead of
this, the miserable beast deliberately
stood still and with his trunk reached
all over the car, and ate every solitary
| thing IN 1t. Then he turned and sweoped
down the road at the rate Of twelve miles
an hour. The landlord, meanwhile, was
SO glad to get rid of the beast, that he
asked in all hands to take something in
honor of the event The party were lust
putting their glasses to their lips when a
smash was heard at the barn>yard gate.
and a laundering crash indicated that the
stable door was knocked into diminutiye
fiinters. The crowd rushed out. and
there was that very same elephant in the
very same old place.
The Landlord was 30 mad that he could
not A"ear with sufficient vigor to satisfy
his ceilings; so he got the crowd to listen
to him while he read sixteen chapters of
Horace Greeley's Table Talk out loud.
This relieved him for the moment, but
the next morning Hufnagls's elephant
was found dead, and there was thought
TO be some connection between this cir<
cumstance and the fact that the landlord
was seen rolling barrel of rat poison up
an adjacent hill upon the previous night.

TIE LITTLE WHITE LIE,

was in trouble, beyond any doubt
/ was in trouble--and how to get out?
q Fell little white lie,'' said the devil to me,
Tell lie! oh, how dreadful! But what
would il be
If l should? though I never shall tell one"
"Don't be frightened said he; eve won.
call il q lie
A few words in their way quite as good as the
truth
And for this one occasion, far better, for
sooth.''
But my little white lie, when 1 told it. grew
black!
Then, obi how could 1 hide it. or how get it
back?
For it never would do to be caught ia q lie,
For twas known that q very good woman wasI
must manage in some way to keep it from
sight:
"Tell one more" said the devil" twill make
it all right"
But my two grew to three, and my three were
four.
And my four lies gave rise to a dozen or more
Till felt in my soul such a sense of disgrace
l had scarcely one friend 1 dared look in the
face;
And at night to my room l went creeping up
God is Truth! could l sleep without saying
nay prayers
By my fears and my conscience thus followed
about,
WAS really half glad when the lie was found
out;
For it vast is always the way with lie
And all said that q very bad woman was l.
Good or bad, l have leaIn'd one thing-to be
wise,
And shun in the future all little white lies.

A TALE OF CANINE FIDELITY.

"Don't father do let faithful Neptune
go with US. He will be so much compa-
ny On board the ship, and so little trouble.
I'll give you every sixpence that / have
been gathering to help to pay any expense
he may be for his passage, and never
grudge the outlay. 1t will grieve me for
many day to come, if you destroy our
old and trusty servant
1t was in this way that Fanny Welsh,
little girl, the youngest daughter of
countryman of the principalily, pleaded in
behalf of their household dog-a most
sagacious Newfoundlander--o her learn
ing that it was decided the animal should
be put to death Immediately preceding
the embarkation of the rustic family for a
foreign shore.
William Welsh and his father before
him, had farmed considerable tract of
land in North Wales, and like most of
the natives in that part of Great Britain,
was deeply attached to tho place of his
birth. The lease by which the worthy
man held the farm had, however, at length
expired, when not only did the proprietor
ask an exhorbitant rent for it, vastly
greater by comparison than had previous
ly been paid, but an offer of the amount
stated was made by an adventurer
from a distant part Of the kingdom
the SUM thus offered, in the judgment of
all who were acquainted with the capa-
bllilies OF the soil, appearing to be ou; of
all reason. Much to the regret of Viii
liam Welsh and every one of his family,
which was numerous, he could not COM
pete with the rash stranger, and had to
submit to the removal from the endeared
spot. He had in the course of his lease
saved little money; just SO much, in
deed, after taking him and bis children
