A Dream Verified

The Carmel IN. Y J Courie,
of q late day says: 'One of
those unavoidable accidents which
from time to time occur in deep
mining operations took place at
the Forest of Dean Mine, near
Highland Falls, Orange County,
on Friday afternoon of last week
About GOO tons of rock becoming
loose fromssthe rouf fell TO the bot
tom of the pit, causing the in
stant death OF Elward Monegan,
and seriously injuring several 9th
ers. However unreasonable the
following story may seem, it is
nevertheless a fact: Michael Glib
ney, who lives six miles distant
from the niue, dreamed that an
accident would happen there
which would result in the death
of some of the workmen. The
impression OF the dream was so
great that he went TO the mine
and warned his brother in.law, to-
gether with the deceased, not to
work on that day. They both
disregarded the almonition. A
small handful of earth fell and
struck the person of the brother
in law, who, remembering the en-.
Treaties of Gibney, ran and saved
his life.

WORKS OF THE DEITY.
BY JESSIE FERGUSON BROWNS.


Behold along the boundless sky,
His fiery chariots driven,
YOn radiant orb careering high,
Through azure depths of heaven,
When from the spacious. gIittering dome
Descending dew-drops fall
Asd globes Of light dispel tn gloom,
OF evenings dusky pail.
See in their softer radience roll
The stars that nightly shine;
Revolving round from pole to pcle.
Proclaiming power divine.
Who taught them all their varied march,
Their varied course to run?
Twas He who formed yon radiant arch
And bright refulgent sun.
He made the solar spheres that burn,
With pure, celestial fire,
That in their heavenly orbits turn,
At His supreme desire;
And formed the fragrant flowers that bloom
Begemmed with sparkling dews;
They yield to Him their sweet perfume,
Who gave their gorgeous hues.
Alike, He rules the cean-tide,
And reckless winds that blow,
Who made the murmuring stream to glide
Through sylvan gIades below;
All, all creations God proclaim,
All grateful homage pay;
To Him who formed this wondrous frame
And gave celestial day.

aged and feeble spiritual Emperor

Emmanuel in public affairs, was
IN giving counsel that Italy, 10
this European war, should put
herself in condition to take care
OF her European interests. There
was no warlike advice given. |
But a few days ago Italy's King,
after the Porte had sent the circu-

Interference, said "No."

Communication.
Maintaining Honors.
For the Fayetteville Observer.

n BLANCHE, Jan. 19, 1873.
When a man has an Office
whose profits are in dollars anc
E cents, he may be Indifferent to-
; wards those who placed him un-
! der tribute by giving him their
suffrage, and may rest assured
that his wages are sure to the
end of his term of office. But
such is not the case with the
man, the wages of whose office
are honors. He is never expec-
ted TO be Indifferent towards his
friends, but must always show
a high appreciation of their fa-
vors, and must use every pos
sible means to maintain his po-
sition. An illustration of the
last statement is made in the
case OF one pastor, one magis-
trate and two local preachers,
all residing in this community.
1t was rumored that certain per-
sons, differing but little in col
or from the crater of a tar-kiln.
were soon to be married. Each
of said functionaries desired to
celebrate the nuptials. One of
the locals held out to the mas
culine half, this inducement-
'1'll marry you to your intend
ed for two days work" The
other local offered his services
gratis, and to further play up
on the soft side of human ma
ture added, 'I married your
brother for nothing" The mag
istrate n day or so afterwards
met the fellow rather behind
lot of cotton bales and began in
this wise: "The men that have
proposed to marry you are cley-
er men, but | can marry you all
right-Ill not charge you a
cent" For q little while it
seemed doubtful as to who
would reap the crop of honors.
The magistrate, perhaps, seeing
the situation, thought he would
turn the matter in his favor.
II will give you two dollars and
a half, and will give you a re-
ceipt against six bushels of
corn besides, which your is-to-
be wife owes me-" Local preach
ers buying honors with expos
