THE SAD CAUSALTY AT NIAGRA.

Fuller details Of the sad accident at
Niagra Falls, where two visitors were
engulphed in the Cave of the Winds and
drowned, are of thrilling interest The
party, numbering six persons, among
whom were Mr.. Ethelbert Parsons and
Miss LOttie Philpott, started for visit
to the Cave, where the rainbow can be
seen in such perfection Declining the
services of a guide, they started down
the Biddle Stairway and clambered out
upon the rocks in front of the cave
Here they remained sometime, amusing
themselves in the water, which boils
over the rocks and rushes through tho
crevices with great force. Finally Miss
Philpott went still further down the riv-
er and entered an eddy, which was par
TALLY protected by encircling boulders.
Here she was soon joined by Mr.. Par
sons, who entered the water with her,
and while he was getting a foothold,
Miss Philpott slipped. He had hold,
of her hand, and as she fell, he caught
her, and altogether they were swept into
the current, which bore them down thir-
ty feet toward the river, They were
now in powerful current, and both
seemed to be making endeavors to save
one another. Mr.. Parsons could have
easily saved himself, but thinking he
could rescue Miss Philpott, he seized
her and tried to reach the rock above
them. Although he battled bravely
with the current they both were swept
from their vantage ground and whirled
into the maddening flood below. Par
sons was a strong swimmer, and was
seen floating on his back supporting her
for whom he had risked his life, and
struggling against the current. All his
efforts were of no avail the fatal cur
rent separated them, and Miss Philpott
disappeared with hands raised despair.
ingly above her head A thick cloud Of
spray intervened for moment between
the drowning man and his agonized
friends on the shore, who were power
less to lend him aid, and when it disap-
peared Parsons was gone, and the cruel
river swept on as though this tragedy
had not been.

HAPPINESS In POVERTY.


Is it true, as 50 many people assert,
that poverty and happiness cannot be
met in intimate companionship? Is the
old saying correct one, that "when
poverty comes in at the door, love flies
out at the window ?" There is always
some truth, as some misrepresentation,
in these generalized assertions. People
brought up in humble life, accustomed
to poverty in all its phases, and desti-
tute of feasible reason to hope, at any
time, for more than competence, CON-
monty love within their social sphere,
and enjoy as much felicity as that sphere
and their knowledge furnish. The chill
dren of poverty are content with things
of comparatively easy attainment. There
is no Glove of the moth for the star"
1t is something that comes down to
the practical, not the poetic. and as
love promises sympathetic nature, an
affectional disposition. sObriety and in
dustry, enough to eat, and suficiency
to array man and wife in respectable at
tire. the poor are satisfied. They sell
dom have more why should they an
ticipate it \? They oftener have much
less; their anxiety is to avert this and
''keep the wolf from the door" Hence
it requires but little to render them hap
py while those whose lives have been
passed amid scenes of greater show and
abundance, and whose anticipations are
proportionately elevated, demand con-
siderably more to meet their enlarged
views, and become wretched when DOOM
ed to disappointment. Poverty and hap
piness are not incompatible, when pow
erty has disciplined by self-denial, and
mems wants have been taught TO adapt
themselves to surrounding circumstan-
ces. The poor who really suffer are
those who have "seen better days. -
They have not been educated TO priya-
tions. and 1t rasps on their untutored
spirits until despair ends the picture.

Somebody's Son.
Somebody's son was out last night.

Somebody's son was out last night,
Brushing about the town,
And, if mistake not, he was tight
flight as Derby clown"
| know he's considered moral youth,
Above suspicion-but that
Is no reason-to tell the truth,
He hadn't "a brick IN his hat"
Daylight morality often takes
Strange fancies into his head,
And "plays the Deuce" or "jumps up
snakes"
When the public eye is in bed.
"My son don't Dance" somebody said,
''For never lesson took he"
But he danced last night when you were
in bed
And twilight was there to see.
You may call it dancing, or not, as you
feel,
Though for an hour or more,
He danced or 'jigged" tanglefoot-reel,
In front of my Office door.
"My son can't sing" somebody swears,
But he sung last night, l know
As rough song as demon dares
To sing in the regions below.
MY son don't imbibe," somebody thinks
Well, maybe he don't-but then,
That he acts very much like one who

Yet something was tight, yes, drunk-

So drunk that it could hardly crawl !;
Perhaps twas the brim of q crownless

And say that the thing l saw last night

Fun AT WAITsFIELD, VT.-Tne late
races at this town went on smoothly the
first day, and the horizon was clear, in
viting all to bring their friends the Sec
Ond day, so goOdly number were on
hand. Shortly after the first race it
was rumored there was a hitch some
where; this rumor soon took definite
shape, as it was given out from the
stand that, owing to the insuficlency of
cash material in the locker, the remain
ing races would not take place. At
once there was merry hubbub, and the
excitement grew apace, seeking for a
victim on which to wreak their ven
geance. A large crowd of burly yeo-
manry made rush for A. A. Earle, the
editor of the Vermont Citizen, who had
been the Grand Mogul of the races. He
saw them coming, and started on 2: 10
gait across the fields, with raging mul.
titude after him. For few minutes II
looked dubious, but he held his OWL

FEMALE EDUCATION.

A writer in BlackaUOod'S says: "The
subject of female education has brought
out with special force of acclamation the
superiority of the present day over the
past in the thoroughness of instruction
impaired. The slipshod teaching of
girls in former days, its miserable pre-.
tence andshollowness is an inexhaustible
theme, and indeed there is not much to
be said for it. Compare the school-books
of the past with any paper on teaching
addressed to the young women of the
present-compare what they are expect
ed to know, the subjects they are to be
interested in, the intricacies of grammar
and construction, which are to be at
their fnger-ends, with the ignorance of
accidental picking up of knowledge
which was once the women's main chance
of requirement and our expectations are
not unreasonably raised. The pupils of
the new school ought to be more COM
panionable than their predecessors, they
ought to talk better, more correctly,
more elegantly; and, as their subjects
of interest become more profound, as
science and art open their stores to them,
their vocabulary should meet the need
at once more accurate, more copious,
more felicitous. We put it to our world
of readers-is it so Do our young la
dies talk better than their mothers? Do
they express their meaning with greater
nicely? Nay, do they speak better
grammar? Moreover, is this an aim ?
Are they taught to do this by their sex,
who profess to portray the girlhood Of
our day? Is it not an understood thing
that three or four epithets are 10 do du-
ty for all the definition the female mind
has need Of, and that solecisms, which
would have shocked the ears of an earli.
generation, pass unreproYed ?"
