Explosion OF Ice CREAM.-There was
singular explosion in an ice-cream mandatory
in Reading, Penn, one day last week. "hlch
the Times thus describes "a large copper
boiler was used to boil the cream before it Is
frozen. The vessel has two bottoms, the lower
compartment of which is the receptacle tor the
steam to heat the contents. The entire arrange
mept is mounted on an iron frame. Oae Of the
employees, Mr.. Henry Myers, was stirring the
cream as usual, while the steam was heating
up the boiler. During this stirring, the entire
quantity of cream, suddenl and with the Velo-
citv Of the wind shot up into the air, the steam
rushed out and up with Kissing nolse' the
boiler tipped. over, aud the entire premises the
sides of the rear buildings and the roofs OF the
same, were covered with the snowy 1uld; hlr.
MYERS and fellow-workman named Joseph
Ferre were severely scalded. Mr.. Clewell aud
family were 10 the store. The accident caused
great excitement, being the result of careless
ness 10 allowing too heavy a steam pressure
The bottom was of heavy sheet copper, aud Is
almost torn out.

POETRY.


Father PrOuts Memory.
A friend lately handed me little poem,
which he has carried for half dozen years
in his pocnet-book, tribute to Francis Ma
honey. or as he is best known, Father Prout.
1t originally appeared in Sanders Neps-Let
ter. a Dublin journal, soon after Father
Prout'S death, am is by lar the best OF sew
eral In Memoliam illusions which | remem-
Der reading at the tine of the demise of the
Irish wit, scholar and poet. The only verse,
at all compaiabl with those that follow was
printed in the now defunct Round Table, and
began in this wise: fS1 JEs ks
Eheu fugaces! The scholars graces,
And void thy place is, oh, Prout OF thee,
While The sweet bells OF ShanGon
Still sound so grand OH
The pleasant waters OF the river Lee.
But to return to the poem | mentioned in
the beginning. Here it is:
TO THE MEMORY OF FATHER PRoUT.
In deep detection. bat with affection, r
| often think of those pleasant times,
In the days of Fraser, ere l touched a razor,
How read and reveled IN my racy rhymes;
When in wine and wassail we to thee were vassal,
OF Water grass bill, } renowned F. P
May the bells of Shandon
Toll bther and bland on
The pleasant waters of thy memory.
Full many ditty, both wise and witty,
In this social city have heard since then
NWllIl glass DeOre me, now SoAnS ~
me,
Of those attic suppers and those vanished mem!
Blu no song hath woken, whether sung OF spoken,
Or hath left a token OF such JOY III me,
As the bells of Shandon
That sound sogrand on
The pleasant waters of the river Lee.
The songs melodious, whieh-a new harmodious-.
young Ireland" wreathed round its rebel sword,
With their deep vibrations and aspirations,
Fling glorious madness DER the festive board,
But to me seems sweeter, the melodious meter,
Of the simple lyric we owe to thee
~ of the bells of Shandon BE- 81 ae :
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters of the river Lee. ~ D 8
There's a grave that rises on thy sward, Devices,
Where Moore lies sleeping from this land afar,
And white stone flashes DER Goldsmith's ashes
In the quiet cloister by T. mple bar;
So where'er thou sleepest with love that's deepest
Shlll thy land remember thy sweet song and thee,
While the bells of Sbsndon
Shall sound 50 grand on lzz-
The pleasant waters OF the river Lee.
