game was very fine one, and more exciting
than the one played week ago, when the Dla-
mond State was successful by score OF l6 to 10
Much interest centered in the game and many
people were present representing the friends OF
both sides. The game was very closely contest
ed. as the score will show, but the last inning
gave the victory to the Agiles, the Diamond
State club being FIRST at the bat.

R. r. AocIDENT.-AH accident occurred on the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad
about % P, NJ. ON Saturday from freight
Stemmer's run. Owing to the curvature
of the road at this point smother
freight train following did not discover the ac-
cident in time TO prevent collision by running
into the rear of the foremost train. the ssgre-
gate OF damages was the demolition Of the ca
boose oar and one freight car Of the foremost
train and the killing of the cow.
The front Of the engine attached to the rear
train was also injured to some extent. No per-
son was hurt. The principal consideration was
tbe DELAY Of the freight and passenger trains,

Amateur CO0pera &c,

Putting hoop on the family flour bar
rel is an operation that will hardly bear an
encore. The woman generally attempts it
before the man comes home to dinner.
She sets the hoop on the end of the slaves
takes deliberate aim with the rolling pin,
and then shutting both eyes brings the
pin down with all the force of one arm,
while the other instinctively shields her
face. Then she makes dive for the cam
pher and unbleached muslin, and when
the man comes home she is sitting back of
the stove, thinking of st. Stephen and
other martyrs. while burnt dinner and
the camphOr are struggling heroically for
the mastery. He says if she had kept her
temper she wouldn't have got hurt. And
he visits the barrel himself and puts the
hoop Oh very carefully, and adjusts it so
nicely to the top of every stave that only a
few smart knocks apparently are needed
to bring it down right, then he laughs to
himself to think what fuss his wife kick
ed up over simple matter that.only need
ed little patience to adjust itself, and
then he gets the hammer and fetches the
hoop a sharp rap on the side, and the 9TH
er side flies up and catches him on the
bridge of the nose, filling his soul with
wrath and his eyes with tears, and the
next instant that barrel is flying across the
room accompanied by the hammer, and
another candidate for camphor and rag is
enrolled in the great army that is unceas-
ingly marching toward the grave-Ddn-
bury Ne1Us.

Bright Evenings.

"Dear me- Annie, I'll never marry an
author. Why, you never see anything of
| Albert. He is in that old study every even
| ing turning over his old books, if he isn't
writing. When / marry mean to have
| my husband sit in our sitting room, and
read aloud, and sing, and play the flute,
and be at home to 60 out if wish to. 1
should think you would be as dull as a
mouse in cage. Such lively piece as you
used to be, too"
Annie smiled as her gay friend ratified
on.
Now L suppose you will be surprised
when tell yOu," she said, "that some of
our very pleasantest evenings are those
which we spend in the study, both busy,
and only occasionally speaking word TO
each other, or now and then locking up at
each other. Albert says he likes to have
me sit there with my work or reading, that
it helps rather than binders him; so [
usually spend my evenings there. 1t was
Wieland who wrote in sweet letter con-
corning his wife, IF but knew she was in
the room, or if she but stepped in a mo-
ment and spoke word or two, it was
enough to gladden. me-
depend upon it, Kate, it is not so much
the many attentions the husband pays that
will go to make life happy, but the uni
form loving spirit, which makes even the
commonest words blessing. Busy work
ers often have little time they can afford
to spend in the pleasant manner you pic
tuTe, but they generally lead the happiest
