A Tragica1 Tale OF the Tropics.

Jean Jacque knyfp was a Jolly tar
Aboard OF the steamship Golden Star,
That belongs to the line of what-d' ye-call,
And sails from New ! Orl to AspinWall.
Kitty Bo-Peep was a duslly maid,
Whose father was in the banana trade;
Oranges, too We're in his way;
And the BO-Peep lived at Panama Bay.
one day Jean JacQue Knyfe left his ship.
And acro>, the Istnmu, he took a trip;
And in his Wauderngs who should he see
But KITTY, asleep, meath 4 mango tree:
Under mango tree, fast asleep,
With her head on her arm, lay sweet Bo-Peep
She looked like AN an9el-infnus wings
In her snow White muslin and other things.
And Jean he tool, and shivered his eyes,
And swore an oath of tremendous size
That any party might take his hat
II he'd ever seen such a sight as that
Kitty Bo-Pcep started up in alarm,
And laQue KNIFE offered TO her his arm;
You'd thought he'd known her a year or two
II you'd only seen the kisses he threw.
Twas love at first sight, an sure, with he;
And ditto il was, | know, with she;
She promised to meet him and teIther love
That night at nine in the pine apple grove.
And there. at that witching hour in June,
They whispered their love meath the round tul
moon:
He held her fast in his manly arms
And teasted his eyes on her dusky charms.
The ring tailed monkeys sported arounl.
And the .pechled snakes squirned over tht
ground;
The crocodile paused in his wild career,
When he heard their low toned voices near.

Late last evening terrible and fatal ac-
cident occurred in this city, while a party
of thirteen persons were engaged in coast
ing. The party was seated on what is
known as double ripper" 1t was TWEEN
ty feet long, was constructed yesterday for
the purpose Of entertaining the party so
seriously injured, and was made very
strong. The start was made from the top
of Broad street. The moon shone bright
ly and the hill was glade Of solid ice
Several trips had been made and the par
ty, consisting of Young ladies and gentle
men, were in great glee. Unfortunately,
on this particular downward trip the steer
ing apparatus caught and refused to act.
AS the "rippern approached Liberty street,
the steepest part of the hill at that point,
the steersman was unable to manage the
helm. With speed faster than ordinary
railroad trains the ripper" was canted on
one side of the street nto the gutter. and
finally brought up with a crash against the
iron posts of fence. William Minchen,
aged sixteen years, was killed almost in
stantly, his head striking post, cleaving
it almost in twain, DR.. T. S. Rust. a den
| fist, had his head badly cut. Lima Woods,
girl aged seventeen, had e hip bone
broken Lille Bacon had both eyes forced
from their sockets, and will probably lose
them Addie Harvey sixteen years of
age, received internal injuries of a serious
character. Hattie Cooley, sixteen, was
hurt about the chest. None Of the party
escaped uninlured The place where the
accident occurred for q space of fifty feet
was covered with blood. Drs. Davis, New
port and Fitch were notified, and were
quickly on the ground to render assist
ance. DR.. Bacon, of New Haven, was
also sent for, and arrived to-day. Miss
Woods injuries We're found to be more
serious than AT first supposed The last
report states that she was unconscious
Miss Bacon's hurts are in the chest and
abdomen. and so complicated that the
physicians are unable to decide whether
or not the wounds are fatal. Miss Harvey
is this evening in critical state Hel
head is fractured. her tongue swollen and
still bleeding. Dir, Rust when conveyed
home, became unconscious, and remained
50 for several hours. His head was liter
ally covered with gore, and two ugly cut:
were found on the scalp at the top of hi:
head The event has thrown sadness upor
this entire community, and much sym
pathy is expressed for the parents of ths
dead boy and his Injured companions.

A HORSES SAGAcITY. A correspondent
of the Erie (Pa) Dispatch writes Eyes
terday horse, mounted by young man,
was seen to slip on the frosted street,
stagger and fall. throwing the rider to the
ground. Before two seconds had elapsed
the horse was up on his feet again, and
the rider hanging by one foot, which
was fastened in the stirrup The horse,
though frightened, discovered the uncom-
Portable position of his rider, and after one
or two steps to one side. as though not to
trample the man, came to dead halt. and
stood as statue until man who was
passing on the sidewalk approached him
and pulled the discounted riders foot
clear of the stirrup. l was delighted to
find the man entirely unframed, but dis
covered that the stirrups were both wound
with carpet, evidently to keep the riders
feet warm, or with desire on his part to
have his brains dragged out on some oc-
caslon like the present. The incident is
more remarkable from the fact that the
horse is one of fine blood, imported to
Erie tor trotter, and costing some thou
sands of dollars

The mail steamer Hibernian, which ar
rived at Halifax last week, from off
Georges Island up to Cunard's wharf had
to force her way through new ice. Sever
al times she had to back and get new head
way. A large number Of persons gather
ed on the wharves to witness the spectacle,
while hundreds walked alongside on the
ice. Many persons went close enough to
touch the vessels sides others walked or
skated under her bows as she forced her
way up, and some willing hands laid hold
to push her along. Such scene was
never before witnessed in Halifax harbor.

The laws of Nature are just, but terri
BILE. There is no weak mercy in them.
Cause and consequence are inseparable
and inevitable. The elements have no
forbearance. The fire burns, the water
browns, the air consumes, the earth buries
And perhaps it would be well for our race
if the punishment of our crimes against
the laws of men were as inevitable as the
punishment of crimes against the laws of
Nature-were man as unerring in his iudg
