A sample leaf from the simple annals Of
the poor is thus told by the New York
World: John Morrison, aged thirty-two,
residing in Jersey City, was run over by
coal train at West End, and both legs ana
one arm were cut off. He died the same
evening. His widow, with two children,
the eldest five, the youngest three years
old, clinging to her skirts, called on
number Of undertakers, trying to arrange
for the burial of her husband. Her story
was particularly sad. Her husband had
been out Of employment for nine months,
during which time the pawnshop had ab-
sorbed everything Of value that could De
shared from the house. On the day OF
the fatal occurrence he secured an odd
lob to remove q piano, and was to have
received q dollar for his services. This,
he told his wife, would take them over
Easter. Soon after postman called with
a note from George w. Downing, super
| intendent Of the Jersey Horse Car Com
PAW. telling him to report for duty on
Monday, April 2. The family rejoiced
over their good fortune, and while devils
inc means for spending the dollar IN tn
most economical manner they found there
would be none left for coal. The happy

ouently done similar duty during TIL
winter, and said he could 60 out on tn
railroad and pick up coal enough. 81

neither fuel, light, nor food in the house
and the widow sat beside the mangle'

At Leu Saint Remy, in Belgium, an ap

the coffin was lowered into thegrave The
grave-diggers had begun to fill it IN with
clay, when they heard several knocks
given from within the coffin. Terrified,
they ran to call the curate and inform the
Mayor, in the presence Of both Of which
personages, the coffin was opened.

How She Went to the Fire.

An old German woman, says the In
Sentinel, who came here about
week ago from the land where the Swa-
bans dwell, and who had never seen
steam fire engine, created quite scene
at her abode, on South Delaware street,
during a fire. She had her dough set to
make bread for supper, but on seeing 50
many people running by the house ana
hearing the changing Of bells she IN
CURED what the rumpus was all about.
On being informed, she ran into the
house. GOT two buckets and then started
in the direction Of the fire, shaving on
only a short skirt and small sack, with
long blue hadkerchief for head dress.
By the time she arrived on the scene the
fire was extinguished, but directly
after she heard the alarm from Massa-
chusetts avenue and started for that
locality with other people. When she
arrived she talked in her native tongue
to all. and wanted to know where the
bucket bridge was. Some German lady
asked her why. She said she had come
with her buckets to help put out the
fire the way they do it Schowobaland:
There all the burghers come with thell
pals and form procession from the vel
to the house afame.

others, and these empty the pals and re
