From Papineau, H., come the de
tails of frightful catastrophe to Mr..
Peter Lane, his wife, two children. and a
little hired girl. When they retired for
the night they left strong fire burning
III the kitchen. From this fire the
house caught. Mrs. Lane, being
| awakened by the smoke, rushed into
the kitchen and took out the child that
was sleeping there. After she left the
house Mr.. Lane aWoke, and, not know
ing where his wife was, rushed into the
kitchen to save the child. By this time
the floor Of the kitchen was so badly
burned that Lane on entering it, fell
through into the cellar, and remained
there roasting, while his wife took out
the other child, the little assistant, and
some goods, wondering all the time
where her husband was. How he ever
got out of the cellar is not known, but
he was seen later sitting on the steps
with nothing on but q shirt. and the
back of that blazing. His wife rushed
up to him and put out the fire. Lane
then went to the stable, let out the
horses, and ran some 20 rods to a neigh
boris, where he fell down helpless. His
tracks We're marked by pieces of flesh
that had fallen off his body, and on the
halters of his horses were large pieces
of skin. He was Immediately taken up
by the neighbors and placed in bed, and
died the next morning. His face was
Scared most horribly, and on his body,

III case of casualty. All are given dis
tinctly to understand that the company
will pay its workmen only the wages
agreed upon, and that they must assume
all risks attendant upon the business
themselves. The reason assigned is
that the net earnings Of the railroads
have now become 50 small that the COM
panies cannot afford the burden, which
has become avery onerous one. Besides,
use is made of the fact that accident in
surance companies of perfect response
bility will undertake for a small risk to
indemnify all insurers against injury
Very wisely the suggestion is made that
all prOvident and careful men should
then insure themselves and at 5rifing
expense i'll case of a casualty be pecuni-
arily reimbursed and looked after in
their necessities, with comfort to them
selves and without anxiety to those de
pendent on them. 1t is understood that

ALICE WILLIAMS IN g ETCHINGs.
"Oh there's nothing half SO sweet in life
As loves young dream y
| unused last night in penslve mood
Albeit not often sentimental
Ny heart was heavy and my frame
Was racked with aches-both head and dem
tai.
l say, as once I've said before,
NV mood was somewhat sad and peDslve,
l cast upon the past glance
Fond lingering and comprehensive
| saw once more that messy bank,
BY which the river ripples slowly,
Oershadowed by the silvery veil
OF willow branches dropping lowly
Bestrewn with wild spring flowers dyed
In every color of the prism:
Where oft we sat. May Brown and /
Nor ever dreamed of rheumatism.
We loved. ALI. yes Some might have loved
Before us, in their humdrum fashion;
But never yet the world had known
So wild, so deep, SO pure passion
We rocked not of the heartless crowd,
Nor needed cruel parents frowning;
But lived in one long blissful dream,
And spouted Tennyson and Browning.
And when the cruel fates decreed
That for a season must leave her,
wrung my very heart to see
How much our parting seemed to grieve her.
One happy moment, too, her head
Reposed, so lightly, Oh my shoulder !
In dreams | live that scene again,
And i'll my arms again enfold her.
She gave me one long auburn curl
She wore my picture i'll a lochet,
Her letters, with blue ribbon tied,
| carried in my left coat pocket
Chose notes, rose-scented and pink hued,
DISPLAYED more sentiment than knowledge
| wrote about four times week
That year | was away at college.
But OH at length "a change came DER
| The spirit of my dream" One morning
got chilly line from May
| In which, Without the slightest warming,
She said she shortly meant to wed
Tom Barnes Ca parson, fat and jolly;
| She sent my notes and ruby ring,
And hoped would forget my folly"
l sent her all her letters back,
| l called her false and tickle-hearted,
And swore I hailed with JOY the hour
That set me free. And so we parted.
[ quoted Byron by the page,
| l smoked Havanas by the dozens,
And then l went out West and fell
In love with all my pretty courins.
