A BROKEN HEART-The following
instance Of flial and maternal affection
has recently come to our knowledge ::
A few weeks since, a young man at
Pekin Mines might have been seen ey-
cry Sabbath day, leading an aged wo-
man to church, assiduously watching
every step. When trestle was to be
crossed, he would tenderly take her in
his arms and carry her over. The wo-
man was his mother, and was blind
Thus they would regularly go to and
return from church. About three
weeks ago the son was killed in Pekin
Mine The grief of the poor blind
mother was uncomfortable When
friends were about to move the BODY
for lnterment her beseeching walls to
be permitted once more to lay her hand
upon the remains of her devoted son,
were heartrending in the extreme
With the greatest difficulty kind
friends prevailed upon her to leave
the side of the coffin. Since the day
on which her son was borne from the
house to his grave, she refused all
nourishment, and pinned away, until on
Tuesday evening last she breathed her
troubled life away and now lies be-
side that son, while on earth, was the
light of her life Her heart was bro

The Angel of Death in the Mines.
by OUIX.

Coal fires are very comfortable by
which to warm in the winter season
and it is excellent for manufacturing
purposes. But often very little is
thought about the hardships, the labor
the wounding and killing that takes
place before it comes from the bowels
of the earth ready for use. 1t is i'm
possible for those that live in points
of the country where mining is not
carried on, depending entirely on
what they hear about it yes, it is i'm
possible for them to form a correct idea
of the horrible calamities and miseries
that are so often met with in the mines.
In the morning the father leaves his
wife and children with "a stout heart
and Asmlling countenance but per-
haps before noon, the angel of death
meets him among the rocks and coal
that so often fall without notice or
warning He is carried home to his
beloved wife and family, mangled,
bleeding and dead There are scores
of wives made widows and hundred s.
of children made ia herless every e =

of death to the husbands and fathers
in the mines.
The miners and their families should

ly exposed to; the circumstances I'M
der which they are compelled to earn
a living for themselves and families,
their bodies cramped III disagreeable
position tor long hours every day
situations conducive to everything but
good health; compelled to breath poi
sonous atmosphere liable at any mo-
ment to be crushed under a fall, or
burnt to cinder by the ignition of
the fire damp, or some other deadly
peril, while their fir ends and families
at home are continually in dread of
seeing some beloved one carried home
on the terrible stretcher.
If all these were duly considered the
miners, | am satisfied, would receive
their full share of the sympathy of the
country at large,
| have before me a statistical ac-
count of the accidents, &C., that oc-
Cured in the last year in the coal
mines of Schuylkill, Northumberland,
Columbia, Dauphin, and the eastern
part of Lnzerne counties, Pa. The re-
port shows that the working of the
mines in the above named counties
for the last year has cost the miners
and their families as follows;

every day down deep in the bowels of
the earth, under thousands of tons of
earth and rock ? can the rich philan-
thropist forget the poor fatherless
children, and the widows of the poor
miner who met the angel of death in
the Mines
May the Judge Of the widow and
the Father of the fa'herless fully re-
deem His promises to them May ev-
cry breast be full of sympathy for them !;
may every heart be full of love and
respect for them, and may every one
that enjoys the genial warmth OF his
coal FIRE think Of them.

IL Is a sorry morse, pfoDtSoiy That WILL
not carry double but it is not
strange if treble riding should make
him FESTIVE.
The mining troubles in Wales con-
tinue. The cid proposition Of the
double Shift as practised in the
north of England, has been offered by
the masters, but no good results are
anticipated. 1t is believed its accept
ance would promote the interests Of
both masters and men, as the collier
les can thereby be more economically
run, with greater yield Of coaland less
peril to life In the end, the masters
claim, that, from the increased econo-
my, they will be able to concede even
more than the men demand.
The objection to the plan is, the
men, (unlike the golfers of North
England, who live at the pit mouth, }
reside too far away to be Efficient
This, it is feared, will control their
action in a continued demand for the
old system and prices-a demand to
which the masters seem determined
not to yield.

one hundred and ffty-three of our fell

hundred and sixtytwo human beings
wounded and groaning in their mis-

Notice onemore Eighty four loving
wives and kind mothers made widows

hard that could not pity them? O,
what weeping and wailing what pow
erty in Schuylkill county
Every $4,000 tons of coal mined
cost the life of one miner. In East
Luzerne every 97,9l7 tons, mined in
the last year, cost the life of one hu-
man being. In Northumberland coun-
ty it cost human life for every 200,-
600 tons mined. In Dauphln county
one human being was sacrificed for ev-

The Georges Creek Coal and Iron
Company, at Homecoming, John Doug
las, ST., Superintendent, are re-arrang-
ing the inside CT their mine; cutting
down the roof, repairing the track, SC;
preparatory to using small locomo-
tive for drawing cars from the mine,
in lieu of horses and mules as at pres
ent. The work is being done under
the superintendent of Capt. John
Douglas, inside engineer. AS far as
grade is concerned, the experiment
promises to be success as no heavy
grades will be encountered The re-
suit of this experiment is looked for
ward to with great interest, as the
question is one that vitality interests
all coal operators. Several expert
mems have heretofore been made in
this direction, all of which, however,
have failed, owing chiefly to the steep
grades of the mines, and to the bad air
caused by the smoke from the en- inc
Times.

MAKE THEM INTEREsTING.-"No
one can remember what is entirely
uninteresting to him. "-Georye Mac
Donald This may seem a truism, a
self-evident fact that needs no repe-
etition; yet we may find that people
very often forget, especially in adver-
Using. A merchant will write So
Der, stiff, uninteresting advertisement
when he might quite as easily write a
clear, brisk, attractive one. He will
in short, make dull advertisement,
and then wonder why people are not
interested in it. He may even blame
his newspaper. because his bad style
of advertising does not have good
effect. Merchants should look after
these things. They should have their
advertisement attractive, and often
renewed, and should as far as pos
sible, keep their name before the pub.
lie throughout the year. 1t does not
pay to let people forget in the dull
what you have expended money du-
ring the busy season to cause them tc
remember.
