CARELESS USE OF MATcHEs.-The
parlor match is a dangerous article They
are carried by boys in their pockets and
ny woman in small boxes. And not un-
frequently are left lying on tables and get
brushed to the floor where mice NAV nib
bic them; or carry them off to their holes
and there fire them by friction; and we
believe many house and barn, or other
building is thus burned, where incendiar-
ism is charged with the destruction. The
utmost care Is necessary now when these
dangerous articles are used so generallv
IN the house and by those who smoke
cigars, in the streets, and are often tossed

JUDGE FISHER and his crew laughed
when the poor Democrats of this State
and Maryland were under the Radical
yoke. They were made to pay taxes and
ordered to stand aside from the polls
while the ignorant negro former slave,
voted as he was directed by the black or
white leader. Poh, poh, Fisher pay your
taxes and bide your time, it is not hard
to indure the 81 head tax once In two
years for vote. That is what there is to
pay for the privilege of voting in Della.

RAILROAD CArrIoN-Two MEN KILL
ED.-We yesterday mentioned the fact
that our City Council had required flag
men to run before locomotives passing
through this city on Water street, and in
forty years no accident had taken place
We stated then that several persons
had been killed in very few wears in
Philadelphia by being run over. But
we did not then know that two inouests
were being held in that city over two
men who had been killed in different
parts of the city by the Reading railroad
where had tiagman been required to
run in advance of the locomotive the
lives OF the men could have been saved,
This is very simple and wise precau.
ton. 1t may add little to the annual
cost; but it is more than probable that
1t Is very saving operation in the end,
as far more money may be required to
repair damages, as was the case at the
crossing of the Germantown and Penn.
sylvania road in Philadelphia a few
months since, where eight or ten per
sons were more or less crippled and in
Jured, than would pay fagmen.

The wife that deceived me was homely, not fair, She had almond shaped eyes, and black, Indian hair ;-- But her father was rich, and had thous- ands in gold, And, in kopes of the same, myself chcapy sold. Sue was cold as the iceberg, that floats ln the sea, And--sadly l write it-She cared not for nie. Two daughters she bore me, fair as Ara hy's pearls, AAd dearly 1 loved them-my bright, black.eyed girls But when they were grown to sweet wo- manhood Their molher-my wife--poisoned all their hearts blood Now--can you believe il? l shudder to state-- She filled their young bosoms with bit ieTesl hate: Their Drows found anger, their eyes hashed scOrn-- wished in my heart that I'd never been born. My falher-in law--a wicked old churl-- Gave he most hellisd counsel tJ his only girl. This hearlless old miser--this cold blood ed kuave-- To his docile daughter he this advice gave ''l'ys kept all my gold and my silver for you; When your girls are of age bid their father adieu.

 DEAR SIR:--ln your issue of Jan. 3lst there is communication from Pc ter M Nash, addressed 10 the serious reflection" of tue clergy ahd siiy of the several churches. IL is not intima,- ed that answers are desired indeed, from the iHcoherent nature of the ques- tiuns, and the tlippant style of the au. thor, am not sure that any reply could be made to them profitrbly. However, while the clergy and laity" are ponder ing, would it be too much 10 ask Mr. Nash to dc seme thinking, loo, if it is not too far out of his line of business ! A little retlecting might save him great deal of trouble as q Catechiser. 1. If all are to be eternally happy, and especially church members, why invite them to seriously reflect" over that which will never cause them any serious troubles Surely there are enough of troubles in this vain world 10 worry over, without calling up the issue of Il future state, and the hidden things of God to Eex our minds.
 2. 1 wonder if Mr. Nash had any idea of the meaning of such words as ''good, ' in it's cau,eSt, iii the first question, aGd infinite" or ''infinitude" in the last ? A skillful dialcclician might torture such indefinite terms iutn s thousand differ ent meanings, without having any bear ing upon the vuestions al all.
 3. Next, can any one tell what kinl of a Bible Mir N. used in selecting hi ouotationsg IL is easy to quote scripture 4 famous Universalist, eighteen centu ries ago, in an argument with the Sa yiour, while tempting him, serves for al illustration in point and he succeeded in misapplying his quotations each lime I quite successfully too.
 4 1 solemnly protest against saddlinl upon the p,or clergy go many state l ments. which, at once are so unguarded so vulgar, and so obnoxious to thei good taste. They have quite too man. 5urthens 10 bear already, in the warfar against sin, to be charged with suel ] folly.
