A Truthful Sketch.

Let man fail in business, what an
effect it has on his former creditors,
Men who have taken him by the
arm, laughed and chatted with him
by the hour, shrug their shoulders
and pass On with a cold "How do
you do?" Every trife Of a bill is
hunted up and presented that would
not have seen the light for months to
come, but for the misfortunes Of the
debtor. If it is paid, we'll and good;
if not, the scowl of the sheriff, per-
haps, meets him at the corner. A
man that has never failed knows but
little of human nature.
In prosperity he sails along gently,
waited by favoring smiles and kind
words from everybody. He prides
himself on his name and spotless
character, and makes his boast tina,
he has not an enemy in the world.
Alas! the change. He looks at the
world in different light when re-
verses come upon him. He reads
suspicion on every brow. He hardly
knows how to move or to do this
thing or the other; there are spies
about him, writ is ready for his
back. To know what kind of stuff
the world is made of, q person must
be unfortunate, and stop paying once
in his lifetime. If he has kind friends
then they are made manifest. A
failure il . moral sieve; it brings out
the wheat and shows the chat. A
man thus learns that words and pre-.
tended good will are not and do not
constitute real friendship.

"sOld, by Thunder:

One night, recently, Whitehall
gentleman was on the Troy train re-
turning home. At Saratoga gen
tleman from Rutland took seat be.
hind the Whitehaller. In few
minutes . conversation was opened
between the two. Ascertaining that
our friend was from Whitehall, the
Rutland gentleman asked him if he
knew Wilkins, the editor Of the
Times.
"know him! l ought to know him,
for he is very intimate with my wife"
"You don't say?" replied the Rut-
land man, in establishment.
Eyes, sir. don't want it repeat
ed, but have indisputable evidence
that he has been on terms Of the
closest intimacy with her."
'But, my friend, YOU don't live
with the woman
Eyes, sir; strange as j, may seem,
do. o, sir, you little know what =
man will put up with from the wo-
man he loves. This intimacy has
been carried on for years RICH, under
my nose, and yet by the love | bear
the woman ] have never vet broken
with my wife,
"But you cannot possibly put up
with such conduct on the part OF
your wife, If she is intimate with
Wilkins, ] should think you would
brand the villain before the world.
] would not submit. No, Sir. !
would not, never."
The Rutland man had worked him
self up to pitch of excitement, when
the train stopped at Whitehall.
Good night, sir" said the White
hall gentleman. 81 hope we will
meet again. thank you for the in.
terest you have taken in my affairs
and the two gentlemen shook hands
and departed.
Just then the conductor entered
the car, and the Rutland man stepped
up and asked him who the gentleman
was he was just conversing with.
THAT man" said Conductor Hol.
comb, "don't you know him: That
is Wilkins, editor Of the Whitehall
Times"
"Sold, by thunder" said the Rut.
land man, putting his fingers in his
pocket and taking out something.
"Mr. Conductor, will you please give
him this card and accompanying IS,
and tell him to send me his paper as
long as the money lssts?'

Brigham Young on Free

Brigham Young, . martyr to ms
faith, addressed the Salt Lake Con-
ference on the 18th Of April last IN
the following manner. The text was
free schools: "Education," he said,

Congressman and Governors OF States
are the spawn Of free schools. These
men never performed days labor IN
their lives, and they would be far
more valuable to the community If
they would lay down their robes OF
Office and go to work in the cornheld.

maudlin and worthless? ! had no

A Queer Mistake.

Although the first reported miracle
in the New Testament was the con-
verting of water into wine at mar
rage ceremony, it is. nevertheless,
not always safe to imbibe even at d
wedding, unless you know something
OF the vintage. Mistakes will hap
pen, as was the case not long since
with the Rev. DR.. - Of Newbury-
port, who was called down from his
chamber to marry a couple. The
hour was late, and the ministers
wife, who had retired for the night,
did not rise to witness the ceremony,
but gave her husband particular
directions for the entertainment of
the wedding guests.
"Don't forget to pass the cake and
wine, DOCTOR said she. ''The cake
is in the corner cupboard, and you'll
find the wine on the third right hand
shelf in the sideboard.' The doctor
promised obedience, and, putting on
his garments, went down to perform
the ceremony. When he returned
to his chamber, half an hour later, he
found his wife sitting up IN bed, with
an anxious expression on her face.
doctor" she cried, "did you give
them any wine:"
Certainly, my dear; just as you
told me-"
mot from the decan'er ON the
third shelf of the sldeboard:'
THAT is exactly where you direct
ed me to find it, wife,
"Dear-dear' Did they drink
much of it?'
"Why, yes; they emp'ied 'hei'
glasses
"What shall we do?-doctor,

must be! Do, dear, put on YOU

The minister found his bridal part
at the corner of the next street.
"What made you drink the vine.
he asked. "Couldn't you tell by III
taste that there was something wron,
about it:''
The bridegroom answered betweel
his qualms, "She whispered to IN
that it tasted dreadful queer, but
told her twas because We was g.ttln

pie was little short Of miraculous.
and had il no, been for tie fortunate
presence OF Mr. Daniel Wood, the
train master Of the Clearfe.d divis-
ion, the loss OF life must have been
terrible. Securing number Of box
cars, used for carrying freight, he
loaded them with people, and sent
them dashing through the flames to
Philipsburg, four miles above Osce-
ola. The railroad ties were burning
in several places, and MANY of the
cars caught fire on their passage
through the woods, but as the people
were completely covered in, and the
passage out was made with such
great speed, the burning cars were
extinguished before much damage
was done.
During the short period between
the time the people were boxed up
in the cars and their arrival at Phil
hpsburg their sufferings, as described
bv themselves, were fearful. Four
such trips were made before all the
people who escaped in that manner
had been carried safely out Of town.
To such an extent did terror over
come the people that many of them
had to be dragged to the cars out of
Moshannon Creek, in the waters of
which they had taken refuge. The
scene in An hour after the flame. had
caught the houses was appalling.
Dense clouds of thick yellow smoke
formed over the town canopy,
though which the sun appeared like
a ball of red fire, and the burning
forests formed On all sides an appar-
emily impenetrable wall of flames.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass,
Nav 9th

way SsNus
One OF the most terrible diasters
in the history Of Massachusetts, &C.
CURED tonight in tho burning Of the
French Catholic Church, at South
Holyoke, daring the service, invol-
wing the death Of Sc men, women and
children. The exercises had nearly
closed and vesper service was be-
ing sung when the drapery on the
alter caught fire from candle, and
the wall being low and the flames
steaming up, the building was set on
ERE. The audience numbered zoo
people. Those in the body of the
church escaped, but on the stairway
leading from the gallery, human be-
ings were packed in dense mass
struggling TO reach the floor. As the
flames rushed toward them many
leaped to the floor and were tram

both sides of the building, with only
one entrance from the front. The
scene was fearful while i, lasted, for
the whole was over in twenty min
utes. Besides &C dead there are
enough fatally wounded 10 carry the
loss Of life up to 70.
The flames from the candle caught
the drapery around the statute OF the
Virgin Mary, and streaming up
caught the building. Immediately a
panic ensued and people rushed for
the doors. There is but one entrance
to the gallery and that from the front
on the stairway leading from the gal.
lery. People we're packed in a solid
mass struggling to clear themselves
IS the flames rushed in that direction,
and this became blocked rendering
exit impossible. Many jumped over
the galleries into the crowd beneath
and were trampled and killed.
The priests residence joins the
church. Many escaped through the
entrance back Of the altar. The
priests exertions to keep order were
fruitless. The screams Of the living
and the means Of the dying made .
deafening tumult heard above the
orders of the pastor, who worked
most heroically, and was personally
instrumental in saving many lives.
One family of four were all killed.
Many were pulled out by their arms
and feet who we're so badly burned
that they lived but few hours, the
flesh peeling off on being touched.
Some we're taken out with scarcely
any flesh remaining on their bones.
The Sisters Of Mercy. from the con-
vent, we're soon on hand, caring for
the wounded and holding services
over the dying. Father Dufresne
also held service. His mother was
among those terribly burned. Father
Dufresne lost almost everything in
his residence, SO rapidly was the
building consumed. A large wood
en- tenement block of Jos. Pew was
burned. The church has been thrown
open for the reception OF the dead
and wounded. Several deaths oc-
CURED in the building during the
night. Several were taken to a
boarding house and several physi-
clans gave the wounded all possible
care. Those too badly burned to re-
cover we're put under the effects of
morphine and passed away without a
struggle. While the exercises were
being held over the dying, the most
intense quiet prevailed. Rough la
borers knelt upon the floor with I'M
covered heads, but about the morgue
and in the streets the wailing of the
multitude was pitiful to hear.
