BY MOSES OWEN.
Oh, sweet flowing River how oft by thy side,
In childhood's loved days have wandered
along;
When the world was all bright and my thoughts,
like thy tide,
Danced out to an ocean Of music and song.
Thou still art the same-but, alas, am not
Grown older the charm and the freshness have
'fa fed;
Some friends that loved have grown cold-have
forgot, --
And some now are sleeping the sleep of the
dead.
Your whtewinged ships you still bear to the sea
once thought that pleasure must follow them
on;
And far DER the waters my thoughts went with
thee
They went into dreamland, where /, too, was
gone.
know Hosc that tempest and darkness and gloom
Encircle them round both by night and by day;
That many are mould'ring in oceans drear tomb
And tears bring not back what your tide bore
away.
: Yet sweetnowing River, my thoughts once again
Shall turn, as in childhood, all fondly to thee;
Deal kind with thy treasures. III love thee as
when
My thoughts, like thy waters, danced out to the
sea. The State.

A Strange Enton,bment.

A correspondent of Puebla (NTexi.
co paper writing from Fort Garland,
tellsth following story:
"Last Monday two Mexican boys,
Jesus Maria and Juan de Ia Cruz Linn
bustero, were taking q herd OF seven
hundred sheep across the Sand-hills Of
the 'Lomas del Arreno, about twenty
four miles northerly from Fort Garland.
These sand.hills extend out into the
San Luis valley about fifteen miles, OPP
posite the Mosco Pass.
"The herders undertook to make n
'short cut across the hills, instead Of
going around, MS directed by their fa-
ther. At first everything moved gaily J;
the boys and sheep and dogs only sank
few inches in tho light, white sand,
and they thought how foolish it was OF
old fogies to go around twenty miles
when 1t was only four across but be-
fore they got half across one Of those
sudden storms arose; up came q gentle
breeze; the breeze became wind, and
the wind MI awful hurricane the sand
moved about in binding clouds, hills
changed to holes and every hole was a
seething cauldron.
"rhe poor boys struggled hard to
avert their doom, and Jesus Maria
managed, by drawing his serapn over
his head, and keeping his feet, and
climbing as the sand piled up around
him, to survive the tornado; but his
younger brother, Juan do Ia Cruz, sue
cumbed to the sufFocating blast, and MS
ship goes down at sen, so sank the
brave boy, surrounded by his bleating
sheep and whining dogs and when
tho storm ccased, as suddenlyas it COM
menced, little Jesus found himself all
alone, with quiet mounds Of glistening
sand all around him, and not a trace Of
the cruel storm nor OF tho disaster
could be seen.
"He hurried home, where he arrived
the next day, and told his tale OF terror.
The whole plaza turned to search for
the lost boy and to dig out the missing
sheep. Up to the succeeding afternoon
they had not recovered over four hun
dred sheep, most Of them being found
about six feet below the surface, and
the natives from neighboring plaza had
flocked to tho scene, and were busily
digging out sheep, saving the wool and
feasting on mutton. The old gentle
mans loss was their gain, and they
could say rs they smacked their lips
DER q fine mutton chop. AL is not
lost that's ont of sight, !"

Old Uncle Pete.
Tho centcnnrIan OF the Nuw Haven RnIl,
roud--NInety-nlno Years Old.

|
Passengers on train from New
Haven saw mn old colOred map get
aboard at NIamaroneck. He was bent
and grizzled, md his clothes were worn
and ragged. He walked with crutch
and cane, and his body described the
segment Ola circle. Ho did not enter
the car, but rode on tho iolting, sway
ing platform, holding tightly to the
hand rail to keep from falling OF. Some
OF the passengers trembled for the old
mans safety, andspoke to tho conduc-
tor about il.
"0h, he's all right" was the reply (;
"he rides that way often. You see Old
Pete-that's his name, Pete Gross-is a
hendhead. He lives at Mount Vernon,
and when he's out anywhere along the
road and wants to go home he just gets
on the first train. Ho never has any
money, and we don't like to put him
of. So the worst we can do is not to
give him n seat"
Old Pete's wife Rose was with him
this time, and they had been to pic
mic on the old camp ground at Rye
Neck but the old man was going home
disappointed, for lie had somehow mis-
taken tho nature Of tho affair. Old
Pete's dialect is us purely African rs
his skin, and his manner is an exagger-
alton OF the most outre presentations on
the minstrel stage.

A liberal donation of pennies from
the passengers soon raised old Pete's
spirits, and hc talked away at his high
est pitch, for the noise Of tho train
almost drowned his voice.

Old Petc could remember all the
stereotyped things commonly recomted
by centenarians who havo any respect
for themselves. He had seen Wash
ington, and had spoken to Jackson,
He told story about being kidnapped
from New York by slave hunters, and
another about terrible whipping that
old Col. Albert Gray had once given
him.

An Excited Fire Company.

Some years ago new fire company
was organized at Reading, Penn, and
the members one evening thought they
would have little innocent fun ut the
expense OF Hopkins, their Captain.
They decided to rush around to Hop.
kins house Just after dark, to throw up
their ladders, pull out their hose, climb
on his roof, aud scare him with the be-
lief that his dwelling was on fire. But
that very day Hopkins moved out OF the
house. and a clergyman moved in, with
out the company being aware Of the
change. So about eight o'clock they
dashed out and went through all the
movements, getting on tile roof and
splashing water around and creating n
terrific disturbance generally. A rival
company, noticing what was going oil,
also hurried to the scene, and without
understanding the joke, attached their
hose to q plug, smashed in the front
windows, and began to empty q two
inch stream on tho family OF TINT Pres.
byterian clergyman. They squirted
into all the rooms, split open the win
dow shutters with an axe, broke down
tho front door, ran out tho furniture,
tore off tho shingles, and bawled
through trumpets until tho hired girl
had commissions on tho kitchen stairs.
The fire company tried to explain, but
the new comcrs thought IN effort was
being made to get them out OF the wAy,
and fight ensued, and presently fire.
men were sliding of the roof, and pelt-
ing down the chimneys, and bleeding
over the entry carpet, and having bois-
ferrous encounters with spanners and
brass horns on tue stairs. And tho next
morning that divine and his family
moved out. They said the place seemed
to be too animated and sensational for
quiet domestic circle. They wanted
house where there was calmness and
peace; where they could have more
security for their privacy and pianos,
and for their front doors and shingles,
and peace Of mind and window sashes.

A Fearful Ride Down a Coal Shaft.

Nelson Whitmarsh and Patrick Con.
gan are employed in tho shaft Of the
Union Coal Company, Of La Sale.
A few mornings since having stepped
upon the cage to descend, after having
the signal all right, the drum around
which the cable runs, and which ut the
timo was somehow disconnected from
the other machinery, began to revolve
rapidly, and they knew that they were
riding to perhaps horrible death.
They struck the bottom, n distance Of
253 feet, and breaking through tho
three.inch planking, were plunged into
the sump, which contained about ten
feet OF water. Wonderful to relate,
neither Of them was killed, but coming
to the surface they clambered up on the
boards. The car which was ascending
ut the same time they were going down
reached tho surface with awful momen-
tum, and tore through tho upper forks
and wrecked nearly everything in the
immediate vicinity. Assistance was
sent below, and the injured men brought
to tho surface, where vast crowd Of
people had assembled. They were car
ried home, and medical aid summoned.
Whitmarsh sustained fearful concus-
sion on the hip, and is bruised in sew
oral other places. Congan was not so
severely injured. No bones wero
broken, and hopes are entertained that
with proper care they may recover.

A Gorgeous Household.

The former Duchess OF Sutherland
she who was on such nice terms with
Mrs. Beecher Stowe-was woman who
loved splendor, and kept m army Of
servants, who were draped in the most
gorgeous livery. Before sho died, rs
we are informed by the London cores
pondent OF the Tribune, great part
OF her retainers were dismissed and
pensioned of. But the pensions were
given on condition that the holders Of
them should return to their old posts
on great occasions, and this they do.
Without them the household would be
counted numerous with them it pre-
sents such mn array as few private man
sions in the world, or none, can equal,
and as they are perfectly drilled and
know the ways Of the house, there is no
confusion, nor any indication that this
double retinue is not the ordinary equip
ment Of the house. The effect is prince
ly, and Stafford House is a princely res
idence, with its broad halls, its great
staircase, Its noble rooms, its priceless
treasures Of art, and all the rest.

young eagles in the woods bordering
the town. On Monday afternoon, while
Mr.. and Mrs. Eagle were of on for
aging expedition to q neighboring poul-
try yard, n marauding biped stole a
march on them, and captured call their
pretty chickens at one fell swoop." The
old folks got back just MS the spoiler
was departing, and for few minutes II
was the most even fight that ever was
witnessed. Hair, feathers and clothing
filed the air in about equal proportions,
until about the only thing that covered
the young mans back was that pair oi
eagles, and he ran into Factory village
in the uniform Of q Georgia major, 3
shirt and n pair Of spurs. The spurs he
got Of the eagles. His face looked like
victim of freckle lotion, or n Chinese
alphabet. He was about the most tdlon'

A Curious Legend.

In certain localities Of the Nord there
exists nm old belief that when two mar
riages take place at tho Samo time, tho
bride who leaves the church before the
other will have u boy for her first child.
Two weddings were celebrated simulta-
neously few days back at Archies, in
that department. The ceremony over,
the two couples with their friends has:
tened to reach the door and arrived
there lust at tho same time. Tho situ'
alton became embarrassing, for the two
parties had stopped and exchanged looks
Of defiance. Fortunately, tho mayor
was man OF resources, ior he stepped
forward, and, giving an arm to each OF
tho young wives, took them out togeth-
or, to the great relief Of the friends Oh

fell asleep; but only to suffer repeti-
ton Of the horrible nightmare.
This time he sent for me on waking,
and excited my curiosity and apprehen.
sion, as I have related, by his Hgitated
manner but still my assurance Of the
safety of the vessel was insufficient to
Danish the vision.
A third time he imagined himself in
the burning ship again he was n spec

fearful scene Of confusion and death,
with all its dread reality intensified ;
again he saw hundreds OF his own men

sistance, while the hot flames darted
their forked tongues at him and again,
Ms the dense sufTocating smoke closed
around him, did he find himself the
victim Of mad despair. Again, too, he
woke to find it but dream, and all still
and quiet as before.
He could beAr it no longer /; tho vision
was too palpable-too awful. He
thought OF the mysterious voice. Could
1t be q supernatural warningt He did
not believe in such things but then ho
dared not risk srepetition Of tho dream.
So he rushed on deck, and sent for the
case, OF the existence Of which he had
no positive certainty until it was
brought up, which wonderful corrobora-
tion Of what he had Just heard con-
vinced him at once Of Its dangerous
character, nnd induced him to order it

Such was the story that Mr.. Jones re.

his tale. Twill therefore leave thereadel
