A True Story.
A BRAVE MINER WHO SAVED THE LIVES
OF nOZEN

A BRAVE MINER WHO SAVED THE LIVES
OLA DOZEN.
Two or three weeks ago, says the New
York Tribune, an accident did not occur
near Scranton, Penn; the newspapers
missed a sensational horror and doz-
en- men, instead of being hurled into
eternity without having time to breathe
a prayer, walked quietly home to their
dinners, quite unconscious that Death
had had them by the throats. 1T might,
after all, be worth our while to look in
to the cause of the loss of this tragedy
to the world we should have been keen
enough to unearth the guilty party if it
had occurred. The facts are briefly
these:
In the largest anthracite coal mine in
the State, the care of the engine, by
which the cars for passengers are lowered
and hoisted, is placed in the hands of
Scotch Irishman, an ordinary fellow
enough. The cable, necessarily of great
weight and thickness, passes through
the roof of slightly-built shed under
which be stands One morning, as the
man stood smoking his pipe. his hand
upon the lever, his mind very probably
busy with his dinner, and assuredly not
wrought up to any heroic rapture of re-
solve, the ascending car (loaded with
coaD at one end of the cable broke, and
fell crashing into the dark shaft, to be
shattered into thousand fragments. He
knew that in the next minute the cable,
released from the strain, would fly back
and fall with crushing weight on the
rickety beams and boards of the roof
Death was absolutely certain if he did
not escape from the shed. But if he
took his hand from the lever, the descend
ing car, full of men, must fall one or two
hundred feet. He had but one instant
to face hisdeath and theirs, and to choose
between them. There was a boy in
the back of the shed the man mo-
toned to him with his head to go out.
then he frightened his hold on the lever.
The loosened cable struck and caught
somewhere below against the side of the
shaft. Surely God meant it should so
strikel 1t was the delay of but breath
of time but it was enough. The car
grated with jar against the ground far
below; its occupants stepped leisurely
out, while the man who had saved them
above threw himself from under the shed,
just as the roof, beams, pully, and all
crashed down on the spot where he had
been standing.
We do not know the mans name, and
should scarcely need TO publish it if We
did. Fame or reward jar somehow

Desperate Adventure.

Mr.. A. B. Morris is lawyer, and his
place of residence is Watertown, n. Y
He came to this city about ten days ago,
on his way to the south, and having some
business to transact here, put up at the
Park hotel On the day before yester.
day, he made an arrangement with a
friend to go to the Union Square theatre
to see the play of Led Astray," little
thinking at the time, as he says, that be-
fore seeing the fiction he would be most
egregiously led astray himself But SO
he was, as the result will show. Mr..
Morris had agreed with his friend to
meet him at the corner of Broadway
and Canal street at $50 o'clock, from
whence they we're to 60 to the theatre
together. Mr.. Morris arrived at the
place of meeting rather early, and while
waiting for his friend amused himself by
watching the passers-by.
Presently he was accosted by young
woman who was very neatly though
poorly dressed, and of a most respectable
appearance. She began by saying, "Are
you ready TO go with me now, sir? and
then in apparent confusion. begged his
pardon for speaking to him. She said
she had taken him for gentleman she
had seen in the dollar store She then
went on to tell him that she was in great
trouble and distress. " have a dying
mother and sister in the last stage of con-
sumption" she said, "and am unable
to pay the rent of our room, and the
landlord threatened to turn us out this
very night if | do not pay" Here"
said Morris, {" she began to cry, and
great tears ran down her cheeks there
was no humbug there, for ! saw then"
He asked Ger how much she owed and
she told him So "ButI do not want you
to give me the money here, sir" she said,
" | want you to see for yourself that
am not deceiving you. | never asked
for charity before, but when the panic
came | was discharged, along with sew
eral other girls, from the dollar store,
and since then have been unable to get
any work. l live only few blocks
away from here, and if you can spare
the time, would like to have you see
my mother and sister, and the condition
we are in."
And, like fool, said Mr.. Morris,
al looked at my watch, and seeing that
l had yet half an hour to spare, went
with her. We went east from Canal
street, and after while we came to
house and ascended two or three steps,
and entered narrow hallway. There
the woman opened door on the right,
and asked me to walk in and wait until
she could advise her mother that some
one was coming to see her. The room
was warm and comfortable; FIRE was
burning in the CRATE, and at the further
end there was lounge. In front of the
fire, and nearer to it than the lounge,
cottage bedstead." "You will have
to sit on the bed, sir" said the woman,
as there are no chairs. l will take off
my shawl. and go atoneeto my mother" ="
had been warming my hsnis at the
fire." continued Mr.. Morris, and at the
woman's suggestion sat down on the bed,

Old Things,

oiu ihihSss
slated from the German for The Weekly Crap
ie by p. kobinsOn.l
There is no song like an old song
That we have not heard for years;
Each simple note appears to throng
with shapes that swim in tears.
Itmay have been cheerful strain,
But I was so long ago
That glee, grown old, has turned to pain,
And mirth has turned to woe.
There is no friend like an old friend.
Whose life path mates our own,
Whose dawn and noon. whose eve and end
Have known what we have known.
1t may be when we read his face
We note trace of care;
II is we'll that friends in liie's last grace
Share sighs as smiles they share.
There is no love like an old love,
A lost, may be, or dead,
Whose place. since she has gone above,
No other fills instead.
II is not we'll ne'er love anew,
For life were drear if so.
But that first love had roots that grew
Where others cannot grow.
There are no days like the old days.
When we. not they. were young;
When all life's rays were golden rays
And wrong had never stung,
Dear Heart if now our steps could pass
Through paths Of ehildhood's e morn.
And the dew of youth lie on the grass
Which Times fell scythe has shorn
Old song, old friend. old love, old days;
Old things. yet never old
A stream that's dark till sunshine plays
And changes it to gold;
Through all winds Memory's river on.
Mid banks of sore regret.
But a CLEANS on the peaks of long agOne
That sOitens sadness yet.
