Good Night.

Good night!
Now the weary rest by right,
And the busy fingers bending
Over work that seems amending,
Toll ne more till morning light
Good night!
Go to rest!
Close the eyes with slumbcr prest:
In the streets the silence growing.
Wakes but to the watch-horn blowing,
Night makes only one request
Go TO rest!
Slumber sweet!
Blessed dreams each dreamer greet;
He whom love has kept from sleeping
In sweet dreams now DER HIM creeping
NAV he his beloved meet
Slumber sweet!
Good night!
Slumber till the morning light,
Slumber till the new tomorrow
Comes and brings its own new sorrow.
We are In the Fathers sight
Good night!
-Faun1 The German Of Theodore Korner.

A Fatal Explosion.

That it is as dangerous to sleep oyer a
toy shop as over powder magazine was
shown one evening in Paris recently
when small stock of ammunition for
drawing-rcom pistols exploded in the
Rue Beranger with such force that it
brought to the ground house inhabited
by over 100 persons. The terror which
the explosion caused in the immediate
neighborhood was immense; and the AL
dience in the Troisieme Theatre Franca-
is, waiting for the curtain to rise, rushed
from the house in alarm. The ground
floor of the house was a toy shop and
mandatory owned by a man named
Blanchon. Above the shop there we're
twenty-eight rooms, all of which were
tenanted, the total number Of occupants
being ninty two; besides the Maison
B}anchon itself, which employed sixty
workmen and women. The explosion
took place, luckily, at the Paris dinner
time, about eight o'clock, so that most
of the people were away. At half-past
nine o'clock followed a second explosion
bringing down the walls of the contigu
GUS houses. This caused another panic
for the moment. Many of the women
had tainted from fright, and we're brought
down in the arms oil the fremen. Others
tore up their sheets ana blankets and
made ropes to descend with. One poor
old man who had been paralyzed for years
was rescued just as the floor of his room
was about to fall in. Three little girls |

ner, were found playing in an attic, I'm
conscious of the danger which surround
cd them. Many other striking escapes
occurred, such as that If little girl who
was found buried in the ruins with ia
BILE over her, which had to be saved in
two before she could be rescued, when
sho was found safe and sound. The res
cuers worked all night at the ruins, be-
meath which the groans and shrieks of /
human beings were heard. A dozen
bodies were found before morning.
