TERRIFIC EXPLOSION .---PIrrs.
BURGH. February 81 Four boilers in
the American Iron Works of Messrs.
LINES & Laughlins, in Brownstown. in
the Twenty-fourth Ward, exploded at
about 10 o'clock this morning. The
explosion was 80 tremendous that three
sections of the building, of some fifteen
feet each, were completely shattered,
the roof being carried entirely away
and scattered in all directions. There
we're about 5000 laborers employed in
the mill at the time of the explosion
and for time it seemed as though
very large number had been either
killed or wounded by the steam or by
fragments of the boilers that were sent
flying in all directions. Most extrava-
giant rumors were at once afoat. I'm
mediate steps were taken to relieve the
injured who were still alive. and reeov-
er the bodies of the dead. Up to the
present time the following killed have
been extrica'e1 from the debrt, Pat |
rick Hawiey Nike Reynolds, Charles
Fea, Thomas shcCarthy, Barney Nc
Auley, Anton Backus. Some 80 !
were wounded, but few of the number
seriously.

A DIVIDED HEARr-"I.et us not serve Thee

tue pfayer-neetng OF u certain church, recent

Is unhappy. II has no peace no rest, no eoui-
poise, no solid satisfaction. Longing for soma

might otherwise fill it with unminGled cotcnt-
meht. II Is not true heart. No divided heart
can be sincere. Its fidelity can never be trust

control OF calculating policy.
A divided heart is u changeable one. Il will

To-day. and another tomorrow. The double-

oo)eet leading them on, they are carried hither

DC reserved for other uses, TO be poured into
other channels. 1t will never flame with fer

A STRIKING FACT The following ipciden,
Illustrative Of the value of tracts, brief, pun
gent, pointed tracts, l have from an authentic
source. 1t stands associated in my mind with
the practice Of one of my elders in Missouri, of
folding religious tract in every package of dry
goods that he sent out. A farmer with his wife
ana daughter, young lady, went to town to
make some purchases. Returning homeward,
the woman opened the package to examine
her purchase, and tract fell out The farmer
reached for the tract, and read 1t while the wife
was examining the goods. The wife, seeing
her husband deeply affected inquired the cause;
without speaking he handed her the tract and
conviction flashed upon her mind. The daugh-
Ter amazed to see both her parents weeping and
unable to speak, received the tract at her moth
ers hand, and the whole three were convinced
OF their lost and undone condition by nature
and led TO put their trust in Christ for saliva

Is but enough TO make US feel,
I'm sure, but merest passing panic;
And If we can no longer dress
In cloth and silk of costly tissue.
Wellhave our children still, 10 bles,.
Nor ever deem them over-issue.
Beyond the city's CROWDED ranks,
