GALLONS PIETY.


During the last six months the gallows
has been busy. Hundreds Of men have
been executed, and in every instance
we are told that the murderers went to
glory in raptures and ecstacies. 1t
seems the greater the crime the more
sanguine are the hopes Of the criminal,
who generally dies glowing in the odor
Of sanctity. and would have the world
believe that the scaffOld is the surest
stepping-stone to heaven. For one,
we have not much faith in the
piety Of the gsllows. 1t has its found
stions solely and entirely in selfish
ness, and II IL evident that such displays
of repentance and faith under such cir
cumstances encourage many to be-
lieve that the gallows is the surest road
TO heaven, and hence there is no atroei-
ty in the crime which never fails to
send him who commits it to heaven.
Death-bed repentance of any sort is not
worth much, and the exercises under
the gallows are looked upon as
a mere mockery Of religion by
those who cannot bring them
selves to believe that murder
is a certain passport to bllssful immor-
tality. The grace and tender mercy ol
Him who sends the rain, the snow, the
storm, the tempest, the harvest and the
flowers, IS great. But to see unpity'
ing and remOEseless villains who have
committed murder Of unexsmpled afro
city, on the scaffold showering their for
giveness on eveTybOdy,and boisterous in
their professions Of pure and undefiled
religion, is surely enough to shock sin
cere Christians and 10 make skepties d
the irreligiOUs.

RAILROAD HORROR.
Particulars Of the Recent Disastrous
Railroad Accident In England
Ten Persons Killed, and
TWenty-Six Wounded.

New YORK, August 16.-This morn
ing's mail brings full detailsof railway
disaster at Wigan England, On the Lon
don and Northwestern railroad, on the
morning Of Saturday August the second
the leading features Of which the cable
gave summary, and in which Sr
John AnsOn lost his life. The number
almost instantly killed, or taken out
dead in the course Of the forenoon was
ten; number Of wounded was twenty
six, Of whom one, John Foster, Of Ok
ford, died the same day, and
Robert Goodman is another reported
to have died next night. A little boy
died on Monday afternoon. At eighteen
minutes to one O'Clock the tourist train,
speeding nOrthwaTd, came dashing on,
drawn by two engines, at the rate OF not
much less than forty miles per hour
when a sudden wrench shook all the
carriages from the first to the last, and
while eighteen of the number kept
the rails, the others in the real
parted suddenly from the foremost
portion of the train and took the siding
at the points where the down line Il
crossed obliquely. The ditehed carriages
veered over against that portion OF the
platform which abuts on the siding, and
plowed the flags and earth up for 8
length Of twenty or thirty yards. The
leading carriage, which was Of compact
construction, leaped the metals and
bounded upon the platform, throwing
itself up in mid-air and alighting bot
tom uppermost. This ear was smashed
into a thousand splinters. The two
succeeding carriages sprang from the
metals TO the platform and fell over
with a terrific crash upon their sides,
and one or two others turned almost
completely over a few yards beyond,
blocking the siding, smashing them
selves into indescribable W ecks. One
corner Of the wall from which springs
the roof Of the station was struck and
knocked out of plumb for several yards
along the length Of the track. A brick
wall adjoining, built between the
railway and Queen, street which
is five or six yards below the level OF
the railway, was partly knocked down.
and large fragment of one Of the ear
riages, as well as the mangled body OF
female passenger, was hurled over a
wall, falling upon and through slated
roof, portion of Walkers foundry; 9
number of men were working, but none
of them were injured.
