A Modern Miracle.
IFrom the New York Times. /


As yet no pilgrimages have been made
to Limerick, but the wonders lately
seen there are both as strange and as
well attested as any other ancient or
modern miracle Early in the evening
of Sunday, the Feast of Our Blessed
Lady some two hundred inmates of the
Orphanage of Mount st. Vincent left
the convent to play in the grounds in
front of the buildings The weather
was very pleasant, but occasionally there
were both thunder and lightning, which
the children were told would not hurt
them if they prayed for protection to
Our Lady of Succor. Accordingly they
did so when the thunder came, and
upon one of their number crying, "Oh,
look there p and pointing to a group of
trees, the whole number saw in the air
above them the figure of the Blessed
Virgin. She seemed to rest on cloud,
supported by angels, who carried in
sort covered with foliage. She was
robed in white, gathered at the waist
with blue sash; the infant Savior was
borne on the right arm, and rosary
hung from her left. So vivid was the
image that the children, some of whom
were well grown, were even able to de-
clare that the beads of the rosary were
white, and were strung at some distance
from each other. That evening the ap-
partition vanished before the children
were able to summon the sisters of the
convent, but the next evening it came
again. This time she was robed wholly
In white, and was surrounded with
slvery light, and one of the nuns also
saw the strange vision. Various others
members of the community, who did not
see her, saw sights scarcely less strange
At sunset, it is declared, globes of light
of brilliant hues came floating through
the air, and some of them passed
through the windows. And on another
occasion, whichis as late as the accounts
extend, statue of Our Blessed Lady
was enveloped in a food of light. AS
the statue is said to be inaccessibly
situated on a wall 80 feet from the
ground, and to front on an area of about
one acre, which is SO open that con-
cealment of any apparatus is impossible,
no explanation can readily be suggested,
and the strange occurrence is best left
without comment until further advices.

NOVEL BRICK-MAKING.
The long-continued depression in the
coal trade has induced the owners of the
Wharton Hall Colliery company, Little
Hutton, near Bolton, England, to put
into practical shape scheme long enter
tanned, namely, the conversion of the
"heapstead of pit clay into bricks. 1t
is well known that every colliery is more
or less encountered with vast heaps of
dirt. shale, clay and stone; and it was a
happy thought of the Wharton Hall pro-
prietors to utilize such rubbish. At the
outset there were those who secuted the
idea, and predicted failure, it seeming to
them to be utopian idea to send up the
rocky substance, and receive the same
again in the shape of hard, substantial
bricks. Such, however, has actually
taken place. A machine was laid down,
CLAMPS were built, and at the present
time considerable quantity of good red
and white bricks are manufactured and
meet with a ready sale. The clay is sent
up in rocky Jumps, and is tipped into
revolving perforated pan, and crushed
between two massive rollers. It next
passes through the pan into recepta-
Gle, and is conveyed in elevators fitted
with iron caps into trough, where it is
kneaded into paste by set of revolving
screws. 1t is then shovelled by boy
into box placed over the cylinder.
Once at this point it is by an ingenious
continuance converted into perfect-shaped
bricks. This cylinder turns out eighteen
bricks per minute. Every brick, is how
ever, placed in another pressure machine,
which converts it into double-pressed
brick, which compares favorably with
bricks manufactured from surface clay,

I'll
One of the most amusing cases of alb
sent mindedness of which we have heard
for some time occurred in this city few
days ago. A prominent and very sue
cessful business man, whose place of
business was in the Fourth ward, was
requested by lady friend of his, who
is stranger In the city, to go with her
to the post Office, where everything was
made satisfactory. Our man of affairs
had hired a small boy to hold his horse
until he would transact his business in
the post Office. After satisfying the
clerk as to his identity of the lady, he
took the mail out of his box and hurried
back to his place of business on foot,
leaving the small boy still guarding the
horse. Arriving at his Office he proceed
ed to digest the contents of the numerous
letters, and then with characteristic
promptness answered those that needed
replies, and started back to the post
Office. AS he approached the latter
place he noticed, standing at the side
walk, horse as being remarkably like
his own elegant roadster. He wondered
who could be the fortunate possessor of
an animal so completely resembling the
one that was the pride of his heart, and
Immediately the thought that he would
like to secure this one, and thus be able
to turn out with match team that would
make him the object of envy of all horse
fanciers in the country, took possession
of him. The more nearly approached
the more striking became the resem-
blance. and the more anxious he became
to purchase, until his memory was
startled from its slumber by the piping
voice of the small boy who held the
horse inquiring: "Mister, are you
pretty near ready to take your horse 2"
There the faithful youngsters had been
standing in the broiling sun for an hour
or more holding that horse. while it's
owner was entirely obliviolls of the fact
that he had driven it there that day. The
feeling of that business man may be I'M

onably be supposed that if kicking him.

IN A COTTAGE GARDEN.

Betwixt our apple-boughs how clear
The violet western hills appear.
AS calmly ends another day
OF earth's long history from the ray
She with slow majestic motion
Wheeling continent and ocean
Into her own deep shade, where through
The Outer Heavens come into view,
Deep beyond deep. In thought conceive
This rolling globe wereon we live,
{For in the mind, and there alone,
A picture of the world is shown)
How huge it Is, how full of things,
AS round the royal sun it swings,
In one of many subject rings
Carrying our cottage with the rest,
Its rose-lawn and its martins nest.
But number every grain of sand,
Wherever salt wave touches land;
Number in single drops the sea;
Number The leaves on every tree;
Number earths living creatures, all
That run, that fly, that swim, that crawl;
OF sands, drops, leaves, and lives, the count
Add up into one vast amount;
And then, for every separate one
Of all these. let flaming sun
Whirl in the skies, encircled each
With its own massy worlds. No reach
Of thought suffices.
Look aloft.
The stars are gathering. Cool and soft
The twilight in our garden croft
Puppies the crimson-folded rose,
20 tell me how SO sweet it grows y
Makes CLEAN like stars the cluster'd white;
And beauty too is infinite.
