A River of Burning Oil.

The fire opposite Parker City, Pa =,
which destroyed eighty thousand barrels
of oil, presented some uncommonly
grand scenes, as described by Phila-
delphia Times correspondent: A solid
sheet of flame ran down the ravine to
the river. Great clouds of black smoke
arose in the air. The flames rolled over
tue ground and leaped many feet into
the air. The heat was most ltense. 1t
generated gas in the United Pipe Line
Tank No. rs, known as the Grant
Weller e. Co. tank, situated three hun
dred feet north. A most terrific cXplo-
sion followed, shattering the heavy
plate-glass in the windows and stores of
the city, and shaking the houses to their
very foundations. The explosion was
heard for ten miles. The roof of the tank
was scattered around the country for a
long distance. One piece, weighing fifty
pounds, was found four miles away.
The scene that followed was appalling.
The tank contained twenty-five thou
sand barrels, and the explosion laid il
level with the ground. Solid waves of
burning oil rushed down the hillside.
They reached the river, but did not stop
there. For Il while the CONSERVATION
was complete. Every one looked for the
flames to strike directly across and fire
the city. The anxiety was intense.
Everything depended upon the current
and the wind. The scene at this time was
grand beyond description. The river of
burning oil, with its flames and black
smoke, rolled its folds upward until the
heavens were darkened. The citizens,
terror-strickon, rushed in wild dismay
in all directions. Their faces were
blanched. Women and children were
crying, and strong men were paralyzed
with fear. Happily, the wind was
strong enough to change the course of
the flames to below the city. In half an
hour they began receding. Then they
divided, hugging both banks of the river.
The coming was overwhelming and
sublime. The receding was a fitting
finish to picture that never has been
transferred to canvas.

A Crane with a Wooden Leg.

In London-in st. James park-there
once lived a crane, BY some accident
he broke one of his long legs, and a
kind doctor who saw him in pain cut it
off above the knee. The bird got well,
but how was he to get about in the
world? He couldn't use a crutch, as a
man with one leg can, nor had he any
friends to wheel him about in an invalid
chair, as some sick people have when
they can't walk.
l don't know what the poor bird would
have done; but a soldier, who knew how
to do good many things, saw the
cranes trouble, took pity on him, and
went to work to help him. He made a
wooden leg, with a joint for knee, and
he managed to fasten it to the poor Grip
pie, so that he could walk about and
take care of himself. 1t was not a
pretty leg, like his other, but it was use
full, and he was satisfied with it. For a
long time this wooden-legged bird was
one of the sights of the park, and very
proudly he bore himself before the
crowds of curious boys and girls who
came to see him.-St. Nicholas.

TERMS, s1.U A YEAR.
The Old GristmIIl.
ook, beneath the hill,

by Willow brook, beneath the hill,
Stands quaint and gray the old gristmill.
Spring MOSES on its steep roof grow,
Where broad their shade the willows throw.
The pond nearby is clear and deep,
And around its brink the alders sweep;
The lily pads spread gay and green,
The lilies white and gold between;
While grinds the mill with rumbling sound,
The water-wheel turns round and round.
Among the reeds the muslxrat dives,
And swift I" the swallow homeward flies;"
The robin sits in cedars near,
Wher- Willow brook runs swift and clear
The children by the school-house play,
Where slumberous shadows softly stay,
And warm and low the summer breeze
Is whispering through the willow leaves;
While grinds the mill with rumbling sound,
The water-whoel turns round and round.
The crows now wing their southern way;
The squirrels in the nut trees playi
With merry shouts the schoolboys rum
The mountains blush meath autumn's sun;
Their grain they bring adown the hill,
The farmers, to the old gristmill;
And faint from iar DER hill and dale
Falls on the ear the thresher's fail;
While grinds the mill with rumbling sound,
The water-wheel turns round and round.
Long years have come and passed away;
The mill with age is gaunt and gray;
The roof gaps wide to rain and sun;
With cobwebs thick the walls are hung.
The pond is overgrown with weeds;
Tho mRrsn-wrcn builds among the reeds;
The night winds through the willows moan;
Tho school-housc gone, the children grown;
The farmers sleep where wild flowers grow,
Who brought theiC grain so long ago,
When ground the mill with rumbling sound,
And the water-wheel turned round and round

And trouble and pain and death

Shall be done forever and aye.
Oh, the truth that is yet untold!
Oh, the songs that are yet unsung
Oh, the suffering manifold,
And the sorrows that have no tongue!
Oh, the helpless hands held out,
And the waYward feet that stray
In the desolate paths OF doubt
And the sinners downward way!
For a silence soon will fall
On the lips that burn for speech,
And the needy and poor that call
Will forever be out OF reach.

Before the coming OF death
There remaineth, oh, faithful few,
But little while," He saith.

noted the dearth of local news in the

No Place is Better Than the Old Home.

No Place is Better Than the Old Home.
From the Columbus (Ga) Enquirer.]
One gratifying fact developed this
season is the small number of persons
who have left this section for Texas and
the West. We learn on authority that
seventy-fve will cover all who have de-
parted this year, while during the last
season over $50 sought homes in the
imagined delectable land. This shows
an encouraging situation of affairs, and
that the farmers are better satisfied
with their condition. Directly, it indi-
Gates that the planting interests have
met with greater recOmpense than
heretofore, and agriculture is more re-
munerative. Leaving established homes
and friends to form new ties and ac-
quaintances In "a strange land is no
pleasant undertaking. The seeming en-
HANGED prosperity is no compensation
for the loss of much that is dear and
, enjoyable. The sundering of lifelong
associations and local attachments and
general surroundings are sacrifices for
which the increased pecuniary gain, if
there is one, is an insufficient return.
Few have emigrated from our vicinity
that would not gladly return could they
be reinstated in their former positions.
The West is not an Eldorado, as
thousands have found to their sorrow.
Disease and death have been the fate of
hundreds. More have failed than sue
ceeded. Even young men, to whom an
undevoloped country presents strong at
fractions, unless they have pluck, ener-
CIV, and enormous persistence and will
power, oftener than not, find no more
fortune than had they remained where
they were. In the mythical realms,
fortunes are not won readily. Work is
required there as we'll as here. Some
strike lucky openings and avail them
selves of the chance, because they have
prepared and are ready to seize the OPP
portunity. Circumstances make men,
but more frequently men make circum-
stances. Probably the same exertion in
an old will secure the same results as in
a new country All must learn patient
ly to wait, endure, and work. Perse-
verance and never let go will eventually
win portion of this worlds goods, and
achieve a reasonable share of success.
Living within ones income is the grand
rule that leads to wealth and happiness.
IF resources are not sufficient, the ex-
penditures should be made less. In
the fabulous Texas all the professions
are -overcrowed. The young men from
Columbus have found it so to their cost
in the towns and cities of that State.
