THE HERO'S CROW \.
BY CALEB DUNN.

They are heroes true who do
Their duty to their tcllow-mcn,
Who, bravcy fighting trouble through,
Though conquered oft march on again.
Heroes on battle.tields may win
The honor which all mcn applaud,
But he who conqucrs wrong ana SIN,
\ battle wins TOR right and God.
Crowns have been won by power alone
Bv power which only gold could buy
But more enduring crowns are Won
BY battling for humanity.
Bv acts of love and charity,
Rv words Of kindness, words Of cheer.
Which drive the dark clouds from the sky
And make the sunshine i appear;
Bv holding up the weak and poor,
Bv soothing sorrow 5 deep distress,
By throwing open wide the door
That leads to peace and happiness.
Science hath crowns more rich than goll,
And laurel eaths the brow of art;
But science oft is harsh and cold,
And art life hath no living heart,
Save when they elevate the race,
And lift mans thought the world above,
And teach with sweet and natural grace
The wondyous potency OF love.
Then NAV they wear the hero's crown
The crown of peace and gratitude
The wreath which all may wear who own
And WELD the power OF doing good

CURIOUS Acc1DENT.-A freight con-
ductor, L. Averill, fell across the
rail at Wells River, and the wheels of
a car, weighing thirteen thousand
three hundred pounds, passed obliquely
over his body and off the left leg, some
six inches below the left hip. When
the wheel passed over, Averill listen
ed for the crushing Of the bones, but
they did not break, but the wheel Of
the truck almost instantly, he felt
sure, would cut the legs off. But the
wheel passed over, and before the
rear trucks had reached him, he
sprang out and was standing bolt up
right. For five minutes he felt no
pain, but since then the pain has been
almost uncomfortable, and he has been
kept under the influence Of opiates.-
Two jack-kniyes in his pockets were
bent nearly double. 1t is supposed
the hango Of these wheels struck upon
these knives first, and passed up to
the top Of the leg, and thus avoided
the sAcarins effect Of the tlange upon
the rail. The skin upon his person
was not broken, but the tlange broke
the tissue Of the flesh on the top Of the
legs, and leaving its mark distinct.
Mr.. Ayerill, if carefully attended, will
get along. This is the only case on
record where q car has run over
mans leg, leaving the bones perfectly
unharmed.
