4 terrible accident occurred at Ashta-
bula. Ohio, on the Lake Shore railroad,
Oh the evening Of the 29th ultmo
! Train No. D, Conductor Hem, left Erie
Tor Cleveland one hour late, and nearsd
the bridge at Ashtabula about 8 o'clock.
The bridge was an iron one. spanning
the Ashtabula creek, 90 feet above the
water. and l51 feet long, The banks
on both sides are preciptous, and the
snow had been falling almost constantly
for fortv-eght hours before the accident.
| The train was fully on the bridge before
1t gave way. when it was precipitated
| into the abyss below the two ends piling
MP on the middle cars. Eleven cars
went through. Seven coaches, all the
baggage and express cars burned. The
scene can be better imagined than de-
| scribed, when the cars, in a blaze by
| the time they reached the water. broke
through the ice, and death was dealt
right and left, by bruises, conclusions,
fire, water frost-all in the darkness
and sombreness OF night, with no reliet
to its backness but the flames from the
burning wreck. At this writing, it is
estimated that there were one hundred
persons killed, and sixty wounded. The
railroad officials and the good people Of
| Ashtabula did everything in their power
to save llie and relieve the wounded.
The latter throwing their homes open
to the poor unlortunatcs. The cause Of
the giving way of the bridge has not
been explained. The chief engineer
says that it was Howe truss, built en-
t,rely OF iron, some eleven years ago. 1t
has been tested with six locomotives and
at the time of the accident was consider
cd as being in perfect condition. He
| expects to have running connection
made within ten days from the time OF
the catastrophe,

What Intemperance Does.

The evils of intemperance cannot be ex-
aggerated. Had they come upon us in any
qualification of our appetites, or pecuniary
gain, the whole land would have been covered
with sackcloth. A blast or a tempest, which
for six successive years should sweep away
eighty million dollars of property, would
be viewed as the ruin OF the nation. But
intemperance cost this nation, the last five
years, eighty-eight million two hundred and
thirteen thousand two hundred and thirty
six dollars A foul spirit let loose from the
pit, with power 10 destroy the sober iudg-
ment of men, aud incite to the commission
of every abomination aud crime, like dire
disease sweeping over the land not unlike
the trightful pestllence, extinguishing mems
life almost without warning, but first Grip
pllng all the physical, intellectual and moral
energies OF nine hundred and fifty thousand
citizens turning some into idiots, some into
maniacs and some into hends, TO be the tor
ments of their families nuisances 10 society,
accursed of God aud men, living only to
make a god of their belly aud then dying
amid the horrors of an anticipated hell,
and doomed at last to shame and everlast-
ing contempt, would have caused us 10
feel that earth was forsaken of its kind Ben
eiactor, aud all the curses OF the pit were
let loose upon us. Aud yet these, Tor years
on years, have been the dire fruit of intem.
perance. Under its prevalence crime has
caused crime, and blood answered to blood,
At low calculation, in the last twenty-five
years, as many or more than one million per
sons have sunk into the drunkard's grave,
and two hundred fifty million dollars have
been uselessly expended. Then, II is esti-
mated that no less than six thousand muir
ders caused by intemperance, besides conha-
grations aud shipwrecks unnumbered, have
resulted, and procession after procession has
gone TO the poor-house, the jail, the mad.
house and the orphans hoIae. In Great
Britain, it appears, from statistics Just pub.
lisbed by the last session Of the British Par
lament, that while the annual expense 70
bread was one hundred and thirty millioa
dollars, the immediate cost of liquor wa
two hundred and fifty million dollars, result
ing in an amount OF squalid poverty, vice,
prohgacy and crime, of which no mind bu,
the mind Of God can have adequate concel
tion and sending eighty-fve million huma
beings, in a land of the very brightest 60
pei light, to the drunkards grave and to th
| drunkard's eternity.

do declare that the woman who is able
to systematic and carry on smoothly the
work of an ordinary family illustrates higher
sagacity than is called for by seveneighths OF
the tasks done by man. Men take one trade
and work at it mothers and housekeeper's
work requires n touch from all trades. A
man has his work hours and his definite
tasks woman has work at all hours and
incessant confusion of tasks. Let any man
do woman's work for single day-wash
and dress the children, having provided their
clothes the night before; see that breakfast
is on the way to suit fault-finding hus-
band the wash-boiler on with water for the
wash, and the clothes assorted ready for
washing; the dish-water heating, and a
luncheon thought out for the school-goers (;
a nice dinnerin the good mans dinner pail (;
the beds made after proper airing; the
fathers convenience exactly hit for family
prayers; the systematic sweeping of the
house, at least once "a week, and of living
rooms once or three times a day, according to
the number of men to bring in the mud the
actual washing and hanging-out of clothes
the drying, sprinkling and folding, and to-
morrow the ironing Of the same; the sorting
and mending of them, and provision of new

the tired him to be welcomed and waited
on by the no less tired her, and the home

after he goes to bed, " so he can put them on

hold; repairs attended to, and matters it,

while, Papa must not be troubled or hin
dered about his work." because his work
brings in the money; yes, mans work
brings in the money, but mans work does
not so tax the head and heart and hands a
womaHs work does. Besides all this, man
is helped by many strong relishes and ncen-
tives in his labor. He is out in the world
among folks. He comes and goes, and is re-
ireshed in spirit. But woman works alone
aud almost unknown. To please her hus-
band and her God, is possibly her only mo-
tive and alas, how many there be who sob
in secret before their God, because they fail
to win one smile or word of praise from
their husbands. 1t is stupid aud brutal for
any ordinary man to be finding fault with
woman.-Seiecied.

Natural Cheerfulness.

| sometimes wonder if the creatures of the
woods aud fields the little beings with downy
breasts, with shining shards, or silken wings,
ever know or think whether they are happy
or sad. Apparently they live because their
little bodies are brimful of life, without a
thought of self-pty or congratulation-doing
what they were made to do just because they
were made to do it, and cannot help it; with
out once stopping to contemplate the individ-
ualty of that little atom of animate dust
which in our own case we call a." We
may suppose that the grasshopper hops its
life away blissfully unconscious of the great
work it is doing in building up the patience
of health seekers. The cricket chirps in the
shadow of some convenient stone, and from
the day of its birth to the day of its death
never knows what a soothing power over the
tired senses is its cheerful monotone. The
marsh frogs play their merry chimes night
after night, and, so far as they know, do not
receive therefor so much as vote of thanks
from a delighted audience. Everything is
useful everything seems to do just what ii
likes to do, just in the way it pleases, and
Just as long as it pleases and If some poor
unfortunate did not yield up It's existence
now and them or if some spiteful wasp did
not insist upon taking revenge for unpleasant
accidental contiguity, which is not heavenly
characteristic, one might almost fancy man S
earth the insects heaven.

The Wife's Pin-MOney.

We do not know if it be possible for man
to understand sensitive, high-spirted wo-
mans reluctance to ask for money, because
he cant put himself in her place. 1t would
require an impossible stretch of the imagin-
alton for him to conceive what his feelings
would be ii he were compelled TO ask some
body when he wanted a new hat, or coat, or
a pair of shoes. Perhaps he might be able
to approximate to something near her state
of mind, ii he could recall his abject terror
when, as boy, he approached his father to
crave the boon of a few extra dollars. A
lady said 10 us 81 have lain awake half the
night, dreading the stern necessity of asking
my husband for money the next day" An
other said "lf | was absolute mistress OF
even the paltry sum of one hundred dollars
year, so that could spend it without feel
ing responsible TO anybody, should feel
that great weight had been lifted off me- u
A wife who does her share of the work foi
the family and by careful management and
contriving adds to the common fund, is en-
titled to her share of the profits, and the
division should be justly and cheerfully
made 10y the head OF the firm, as with any
other partner. II women were 50 recognized
and trusted, many whose souls are now tor
mented about the vexed question OF theil
rights would be contented, happy keep
ers at home. - Toledo Blade,

Like Him.

If any man or church have the Spirit of
Christ, it will be like him. His life on
earth was noticeable for three things for
the quiet, faithful performance of the duties
of common life as a son and laboring man ;
then when he was called to it, for going
about doing good lastly, for preaching the
gospel, and for self-sacrifice for the salvation
of souls. So if Christian society be really
filed with his Spirit, its members will be
known as doing well, first, the homey duties
of life in the family aud in the walks of daily
labor. They will provide for their own
kindness, patience, thoughtful love, forbear-
ance, industry, frugality, honesty, attention
to all social obligations, will mark them.
Next there will be going out, as the Master
gives opportunity, to do good. There will
be practical philanthropy shown. The poor
will be aided to help themselves; the sick
nursed and comforted the ignorant taught
in schools the outcasts and orphans gathered
into asyums, and efforts instituted to ee.
vate the condition of the less favored, such
as the freed-people or the Indians But
there remains the third great division OF
Christlikeness-a and in this the Society OF
Friends for many years was deficient. Just
as our Lord added something to personal
virtue, home duty and phianthropic labors
so should his people give earnest heed to hi'
command, Go ye."-Friends Review.

Believe ID Yourself,

At the late Christian Convention, miu-
lister asked Mr.. Moody this question; "IIow
can you make the people believe the TRUTH"
T" Believe it YOURSELF was the blunt an
swer That means a great deal The force
aud fire of intense conviction will make
way into the minds and hearts OF the hear
ers. Faith persuades, wins, conquers, reigns.
" Have faith in God" cries bleeding virtue
on every hand. Preaching truths held
loosely in mere theory, must be failure I;
but proclaiming the same truths with the
clear utterance of deep conviction, gives to
every word grip of supernatural energy, AS
it seizes on the mind and heart. we
speak that we do know" said those men of
primitive power who shook the world with
the gospel OF Christ. There is holy
violence in burning enthusiasm that is al
most irresistible. The kingdom OF evil can
never be destroyed by doubters. No holiday
soldier can conquer on that field. No re-
lgious skeptic, however polished he may be,
can handle the weapons of Gods armory
with effect. "Believe it urself."-Eoan
geiicdi Messenger.
