English and American RAILWAYS.

The English Railway managers are
said, by the London Railway News. to
be reluctantly coming to the conclusion
that the American railways are more
economically managed than the Eng
lish. Yet IN the United States the
wages paid to railway EMPLOYEES ara
much higher than the. compensation of
similar classes in England. In the
first place, the News says our RAILWAYS
conduct their business with propor-
tionately less rolling stock than their
lines. The New York Central, with
heavier traffic than the London and
Northwestern, has not one-half the
locomotives per mile, and this saving
IS due to the superior size and power of
American locomotives. An American
locomotive is said to earn seventy per
cent. more than an English engine,
whilst with them the entire rolling
stock barely pays for itself in year
but with US it not only annually pays
Ior itself, but earns large surplus.
Whist passenger fares are thirty per
cent. lower in the United States than
IN England, yet the earnings of a pas
8enger tram here are forty per cent.
more than in England, and freight
tralns IN this country earn fifteen, per
cent. more. The News contends that it

You loved her first; and tonight with all your
You stroye to conquer it, you love her still.
Twas hard to bear-to know that she, whose

Had blighted all the sunshine of your life,
Gould make your cheek flush and your eye
grow dim,
Fen with word; I could not, though your
wife.
I struggled h ard to win your love; butno

The hope that lighted up my path SO long
Has hickered and died out. could not live
Without your love but you did me no wrong
I could not gain what you had not to give.
Nay, weep not | am happy now to see
You'll love my mem'ry better far than me.
The strife has been solong, the ways SO drear,

TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Farm House BGrnea and Two Boys
Perishcd in the Flames.

Perishcd in the Flames.
From the Grand Rapids Eagle
This (Friday) morning at about three
O'Clock Mr.. Francis Fisher, living in
the town of Blendon, was awakened by
the noise of something falling heavily
In his house. He sprang out of bed
and found his wife up and dressed with
shawl on. He asked her what was
the matter, when she replied that
there was fire In the kitchen. He ran
to the door and opened it, when the
flames burst in and had made such head
way that Instant flight from the house
was their only salvation. Mrs. Fisher
jumped from the bedroom window.
Two girls were sleeping up stairs, and
two boys below. Tue youngest girl,
aged about Is, leaped out from the
second story widow in her night
clothes, the. other in like condition
ran down the stairs and through the
flames, and went and called to the
boys to get outinstantly and follow her
One of them replied that they would
get out another way. The house
was soon utterly destroyed with all
the household goods; also building
adjoining containing their grain and
other family supplies. Soon it was
discovered that the boys were missing
and the terrible probability that they
had not escaped came over the grief
distracted family. This was too sadly
verified in the morning light, after the
building had burned down the charr-
ed remains of the two boys being
found IN the cellar The destruction
OF the buildings and contents was com
plete j; nothing was saved but the
scanty raiment which the survivors had
on. - -s.. rz
Mr.. Fisher has lived there ten or if
teen years, and he and his family are
respectable people. Mrs. Fisher has
for some weeks been in very poor
health, partially deranged at times, as
we understand, making it necessary to
watch her carefully lest in some par
oxysm of delirium she should do some
injury. From the circumstances, it is
supposed she was instrumental in caus-
ing the fire. Her aff1iction is a terri
BILE one with its greYions consequences,
and must awaken the sympathy of the
entire community. We-learn the above
details from Capt. B.. S. Hanchett, of
this city, at whose house one of the
girls is now staying.
