The Newest Fhing in Railroad.

The new sleeping coaches for the
Erie Railway will probably be put
on the road when the spring time
table takes effect. These cars will
run to Chicago without change, not
withstanding the great difference in
the gauges of the roads over which
they are to run. Over the Erie
road they will of course run on
wheels of six-foot guage. At Buf-
Ifalo the cars will run under a hoist
/ ing machine which will lift the car
from the broad guage trucks.
Should this newest thing in railroad
| ing be successful it will relieve the
public from many annoyances from
VARYING railroad gauges, of which
there are five (including the mar
row gauge in the country. The
attempt some years ago to make car
wheels movable on their axles, so as
to accommodate different guages, it
was thought at the time would fill
the requirement, but it has not been
tried to any great extent on freight
cars, the shifting being done by run
ming the cars upon gradually con
yerging or diverging tracks until
| the narrower or broader gauge is
reached. Then the wheels are
again locked.

Rules for Ladies.

1. Marry no profane man, because
the depraYity of his heart will cor
rupt your children and embitter
your existence.
3. Marry not gambler, q tippler,
or haunter of taverns, because he
who has no regard for himself will
never have any for his wife.
3. Marry not a man who makes
promises which he never performs,
because you may never trust him.
4. Marry not a man whose actions
do not correspond with his senti-
ments, because the passions have de
throned reason, and he is prepared to
commit every crime to which an evil
nature, unrestrained, can instigate
him. The state of that man who re-
CARDS not his own ideas of right and
wrong is deplorable, and the less you
have to do with him the better.
5. Marry not a man who is in the
habit of running after all the girls il
the country, because his affections
are continually Wayering, and there
fore can never be permanent. %
6. Marry not a man who neglect'
his business; if he does so wher
single he will be worse when married

BEAUTIFUL CHILD.

The following poem was written by Majo
w. A. H. Sigourney, nephew of the celebrated
poetess of that name, who was also author o
the poem beautiful Snow" which created
such sensation few years ago:
Beautiful child by thy mothers knee,
10 the mystic future what wilt thou bef
A demon of sin or an angel sublime
A poison Upas or innocent thyme
A spiritaof evil flashing down
With the lurid light of a fiery crown
Or gliding up with shining track,
Like the morning star that meier looks back,
Daintiest dreamer that ever smiled,
Which wilt thou be, my beautiful childT
Beautiful child in my garden bowers,
Friend of of the butterflies birds and flowers
Pure as the sparkling crystalline stream,
Jewels of truth thy fairy eyes beam,
Was there ever winter soul than thine
wOrshipped by love in a mortal shrine?
Ny heart thou hast gladdened for two swee
years,
With Tainbows of hope through mists of tears-
Niists beyond which the sunny smile
With its halo of glory beams all the while.
Beautiful child, to thy look is given
A CLEAN serene, not of earth but heaven;
With thy telI-tale eyes and prattling tongue
Would thou could'st ever thus be young.
Like the liquid strains of a mocking bird
From stair to hall thy voice is heard;
How oft in the garden hooks thou'rt found,
With garlands thy curly head around,
And kneeGng beside me with figures SO quaint
Oh? who would not doat on my infant saintF
Beautiful child, what thy fate shall be
Perbhance is wisely hidden from me;
A fallen star thou mayest leave my side
And of sorrow and shame become the BRIDE
Shivering and quivering, through the COLI
street,
With curse before and behind thy feet,
Ashamed to live and afraid to die;
No home, no friends, and a pitilees sky.
Merciful father my brain grows wild
OH keep from evil my beautiful child
Beautiful child, may'st thou soar above
A warbling cherub of JOY and love;
A drop on eternity's scar
A blossom on LIES immortal tree
Floating Towering evermore
In the blessed light of the golden shore,
Aud as I gaze on thy sinless bloom
And thy radiant face, they dispel my gloom,
I feel He will keep thee undefiled,
And his love protect my beautiful child.

Fire this Morning,

About half.past two o'clock this morn
ing fire broke out in the two-story
frame house on Beal street, in rear OF
the Second Presbyterian Church, and in
a very short time thereafter was almost
entirely consumed. The origin Of the
fire is not definitely known. The build
ing was owned by the Freedman's Ma
tional Bank, and was not insured, the
policy having expired few days pre-
vious 20 the fire. The loss on the build
ing is estimated at $500. The building
was occupied by Mr.. Andy Kyle as a
clearinghouse, and SO rapidly did the
flames spread that he saved but small
portion of his furniture. Some Of the
boarders who we're asleep in their rooms
barely escaped with their lives. Mr..
Kyle's loss on furniture, etc., will reach
about $500. He was insured for $1,000
in the Queen of Liverpool. The brick
building adjoining the burnt house, &C.
cupied by the Freedman's Bank, was
owned by Charley Kney, and was dam
aged to the extent of about 5000 or $500.
Mr. Kney was fully insured in the Ktna
and Phoenix. These were about the
only losses.
