caused by heavy fog on the river. which
prevented the. engineer, Mr.. Jessee Craven,
from seeing ahead, the head light from his

of the train was twenty miles an hour, and
the boulder run into was about hundred
yards west OF the iron bridge. The engine
and seven freight cars were thrown down

bruised. r. Davis, brakeman, was
thrown under one Of the falling cars upon

An Easy Fit.

The late Horace Greeley had his own
Ideas as to what shoe ought to be. If
it was an easy fit, he cared little for its
appearance. The following anecdote H.
Illustrates his eccentrlc1ty;
Mr.. Greeley rolled into the shoemaker
store with that heavy, billowy sort of
gait he had. "Sit down, Mr.. Greeley y
said the shoemaker.
Greeley looked up with that broad,
wondering, half. childlike look, and said,
"Why, do you know me2"
Livery body knows you, Mr.. Greeley
was the reply: and it did not seem to
displease this big-hearted man, Who was
so glad to have his fellow-men think we'll
of him.
A comfortable-ftting shoe was tried.

Then a shoe that was really altogether
too large, but that, too, was not large
enough; then cloth shoe, so large that
Mr.. Greeley could put his hand in and
arrange his stocking over his foot so as
to fit him.

the man had. in fact,-and went away
greatly delighted, saying that he had a
lot of shoes he would send around to be
mended.
Sure enough boy came in few mo-
ments with q small basketful. The
shoemaker pledges Inc his professional
honor that there were no two shoes alike
in the whole basket.
He hurried around to Mr.. Greeley's
house, and suggested that, as none of the
shoes were mated, it was of no use to
mend them.
"Well," said Mr.. Greeley, with that
confidential half-whisper IF his, "the fact
is, put 'em on just about as they came
along" And it is not difficult to believe
that he dill.

Spring FASHIONS .

Although it cannot be announced that
the spring fashions have already appeared
in Paris, yet they are sufficiently prepar
ed to admit of partial description. The
materials are light checks in neutral tints
plain drabs, Indian cashmere, Japanese,
Persian and Greek fabrics. Among silks
are light tissues and crepons of lotus
blue. A design not yet viewed on fine
woolens is a rolled sheet of paper or
parchment scroll. These are supple and
uncreasable materials bearing blotches of
color; not more than one blotch, however
is viewed on full dress length.
Among the newest bonnets is neat
black lace, called the shell, from the
gathering up of the lace employed. It
is bordered round the rim with q wreath
of small flowers, and on the side with
duttering tiame-colozed and black posies.
The fringe mixes with the hair. and the
effect is that of showe1ed blossoms.

Cure for q Fel0n.

When finger pricks as though there
were thorn in it, and throbs intolerabiy
when held downward. and vet there is no
external sign of mischief,the probabilities
are that felon is in prospect. Go at
once to the butchers and procure some
of the spinal marrow of beef creature.
Take piece. say about two inches in
lengthwise, wrap it around the affected
finger, covering, Of course, with cloth. In
a few hours change the piece of marrow
for fresh one, and continue to keep the
finger so encased until all pain has
,ceased, and there is no discomfort when
the marrow is removed. The finger will
look strangely white and porous, but the
cure is complete. This remedy ought to
become professional: It is vastly better
than the surgeons knife and more effec-
ual.-Erchan ge. ~ ~

she was elected from the palace and
compelled to seek quarters in the school
she had founded-one of the best schools
that France ever had. By the pupils of
st. Cyr she was adored. She lived to be
"a. She kept her faculties to the last
because she had used them. She ap-
peared in the most interesting light when
she rejgned in society by her courtesies,
her urbanities, her accomplishment is, and
her good nature. And when the woman
reigns in society she fills no ordinary
sphere. She rises IN dignity when she
declines in beauty. It is the soul of a
woman which constitutes our most per-
feet joys. A woman who rules the social
circle has an envied power. She may
break up the distinctions of rank and re-
buke the arrogance Of wealth, and destroy
the false and artificial, and exalt the
beautiful and the good. Such was Nine
de Maintenon in her best days. She was
the life of social circle from her attain
ments, her wit, her accomplishments, and
her graceful manners. AS such she be-
came, not the equal of man, but his
superior, his guardian angel and his star
| of worship in that favored and glorious
realm which Is alike the paradise and the
empire of the world.

THE SAUCY ROGUE.
FROM THE GERMAN, BY 8. s. c.

There is a saucy rogue well known
To youth and gray beard, maid and crone-
A boy, with eyes that mirth bespeak,
With curly locks and dimpled cheeks;
He bas a sly demurish air.
But, maiden fair,
Take care, take care!
His dart may wound you, unaware!
With bow and arrows in his hand
He wanders up and down the land;
tbs Jolly sport to aim dart
At some poor maiden's futtering heart;
She wonders what has hurt her there.
All, maiden fair,
Take. care, take care!
His dart may wound you, unaware!
Her nimble hands the distaf ply;
A gallant soldier-boy rides by;
He gives her such loving glance
Her heart stands still, as in trance,
And death-pale sinks the maiden fair.
Quick, mother there,
Give heed, take care,
Else you may lose her, unaware!
Who stands there laughing at the door!
That rogue, who triumphs thus once more!
Both lad and maiden he has hit,
And laughs as though his sides would split.
And so he sports him everywhere;
Now here, now there;
He mocks your care;
You fall his victim, unaware!
Now who so masterful and brave
To catch and hold this saucy knave!
Whoever binds him strong and fast,
His name and deed shall always last
But, if this dangerous task you dare,
Beware! take care,
Lest ill you fare!
The rogue may catch you, unaware!
-Ha,per's BGzas.
