The Minister'S Daughter.

ny JOHN GREENLsAF WHITTIER.
In the ministers morning sermon.
lie had told Of the primal fall.
And how henceforth the wrath Of God
Rested on each and all.
And how of His will and pleasure,
All souls. save a chosen few.
Werc Doomed 10 the queencbess burning.
And held IN the way thereto.
Yet never by faiths unreason
A ssiniiier soul was tried.
And never the harsh old lesson
A tendcrcr heart belied.
And. after the painful service
on that pl-asAnt sabbath day.
He walked with his little daughter
Through the spple-bloom OF May.
Sweet in the fresh green meadows
Sparrow and blscsbird sung;
Above him their tinted petals
The blosoming orchards hung.
Around on the wonderful glory
The minister looked and smiled:
..liow good /. the Lori who gives us
These giits from His hand, my child.
Behold In the bloom of apples,
Aud the violet. in the sward
A hin, Of the old. lost beauty
of the Garden Of the Lord.'
Then up .plke the little maiden.
Trcading on snow and pink:
80 Father, these pretty blossoms
Are very wicked. think.
Had there been no garden Of Eden
There had never been fall.
And II never a tree hsi blossomed
God would have loved u. all"
Hush. child,~ the father answered.
''By His decree man fell.

.'Oh. fear Him :" said the daughter.
And try 10 love Him. too;

\ WIDOW CIRCUMvENTED.-There was a
Detroiter among the trio of officials who
passed over the route of the Butler road to
secure the right of way. In some cases
farmers cheerfully signed off; in others
money had TO be used, but in one case the
committee found a most determined oppos-
ition. The road would divide widows
farm, and she was independent. obstinate
and defiant She knew that her hay-stacks
and barns would be DESTROYED bv sparks,
her live stock run over by trains, and her
slumbers disturbed by the rattle of trains,
and she wouldn't listen to argument. In
this emergency one of the committee said:
Madam, do YOU know of any widow in
this neighborhood who would be willing to
board a gentleman connected with the con-
struction of our road? He is a widower,
and prefers to board with a widow"
NO, don't know as | do. Is he nice
MANI"
''Splendid nan, and has money in the bank
We want him to locate permanently at this
point, and arr in hopes he will take a wife.
1t is unfortunate that-"
Il never did take borders,' she unused.
"but-"
'If YOU only could, now I'm sure YOU
would not regret it. He is extremely fond
of children, and would be like father to
your little ones"
perhaps might to accommodate YOU
'Ah thanks. He would be here next
week if this is right of way matter was de-
cided, but as it is he may not"
"Do you agree to pay damages if you
burn my barn."
'Of course We do
And I'll probably get used to the
noise ?"
''Oh, of course in week you won't mind
it. Fact is, you'll sit up every night till
midnight, anyhow, after the gentleman ar
rives."
''Oh, no, | shant; l shall never love
again but if he is nice man, and loves
children, why, don't know as l ought to
stop your road. guess I'll sign !"-[ Free

Remarkable Request Carried Out Solo,
mon McNaughton, who was buried in
the stone church graveyard, on the
Middle Ridge, on Tuesday of this week,
was buried in the same grave in which
the mortal remains of his grandfather
had been deposited some fifty-two years
before. This was in accordance with a
request Mr.. McNaughton made some
time previous to his death. In the dig
ging down the grave makers found por-
tions of the coffin in which the grand
father had been buried, and some bones
were all that were there indicating that
human being had mouldered into dust
in the sepulchre prepared half a century
afterward to receive the corpse of the
grandson.

Lost on the Mountain.-The Harrisburg
Patriot of Friday says: Yesterday the
o. u. A. M. of this city held picnic
at Mont Alto park, which was largely
attended. John Kurzenknabe, aged IA,
son of Prof. j. III. Kurzenknabe, of this
city, and Lizzie Sharon, of Montgom-
ery's Ferry, Perry county, employed in
Harrisburg as housekeeper for Mr.. j. S.
Mike, were at the picnic and during
the afternoon strayed off into the woods
together. They were last seen at p. m.
gathering laurels flowers on the noun
tain side at Pearl Spring, about two and
one-half miles from the picnic grounds.
They were not missed until 3 o'clock,
when an alarm was at once given.
Colonel Wrestling, who lives at Mont
Alto, at once sent out four men to
search for the wanderers, so the train
was delayed until $3.50 in the hope of
hearing something of their wherea-
bouts. But no tidings came. Mr.. Mike
then made arrangements to have them
sent home on the next train, if they
were found, and the picnicers left for
Harrisburg. When the late train ar
rived in this city over the Cumberland
Valley road Mr.. Mike received word
that the missing ones had not been
found. He telegraphed back that the
search should be continued all night
Col Wrestling then put out large force
to scour the mountains, and between
ten and eleven o'clock Mr.. Mike re-
ceived telegram stating that the coun-
try for three miles around Mont Alto
had been thoroughly searched and still
the lost were not found. Up to one
o'clock this morning nothing further
had been heard.
[The missing parties were found next
morning, having spent the night at a
farm house they reached about ten
o'clock.-Ed. TINES.

THE TIMES, NEW B1ooMF1E1p, Pa. JUNE p, 1880

A Bad Arrangement. Monday Of last
week there was slight change made in
the Pennsylvania railroad schedule
The Atlantic Express, which leaves
Newport at $3.50 p. NJ, will not run east
OF Harrisburg. Passengers going to
New York or Philadelphia will lay over
for Philadelphia Express, which leaves
Harrisburg at LOS A. NJ, or two hours
later. This is o bad arrangement for
this county, as 1t now has only one
through connection for the east, from its
main station. Duncannon is favored
with the Pacific Express going east and
Is consequently that much better Off
with railroad accommodation. When
the railroad is built from here to New
port 1t Is probable more trains will be
stopped at that station as junction of
another r.. r.. always brings more
business to place and compels greater
accommodations from through road
Let us have the branch r.. II.

There was buried recently in Harris
burg, an infant six weeks old, fully and
beautifully developed, which did not
weigh three pounds, and the length of
which was fraction less than eight
inches. The head was covered with
fine curly hair, the cheeks were full and
the hands plump, but the latter were

Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week:
While number of boys were playing
with toy cannon on Thursday last, It
exploded, severely injuring about the
face, Elmer, son of Nathan Adams, liv-
ing on East North street.
VIM. Wonderlich, of New Kingston,
on Friday last, June IL, cut and shocked
field of wheat. This is the first cut
ting of wheat we have heard of this
summer, and we doubt if that cereal
has ever been harvested earlier in this
county.
During the storm of Saturday after
noon John Spahr, (of William) was
working on kiln at one of the brick
yards in the eastern part of town and
was blown therefrom by the hurricane
prevailing, nothing daunted, and not
hurt muchly, he mounted the kiln again
and was again blown off, this time re-
ceiving severe cut on his forehead, and
sprains and bruises all over his body
Nothing serious is likely to result,
though he is very sore.
In Carlisle on Monday last, two color
ed men named Charley Andrews and
James johnson engaged in a fisticuf in
which Johnson got the better of An
drews. Andrews left the scene and
secured razor, when he returned and
commenced talking to Johnson express
ing himself as satisfied, until he got
close enough to his intended victim,
when he drew the razor and commenced
an attack on him he succeeded in in
t1icting severe wound on Johnson's
q hotxuaan fho xurict on6 alh
Andrews was arrested, and gave bail for
his appearance in court.
A sad and terrible accident happened
to Mr.. Joseph M'Cune, of Newton twp,
on Saturday last during the storm. Mr..
M'Cune was in the act of closing the
large doors of his barn, when sudden
and heavy blast of wind drove the door
against him with such force as to frac-
ture his skull, and otherwise iDjure
him. He remained unconscious until
nine o'clock in the evening when nature
gave way to the shock, and he passed
from life to death. The accident occur
ed at about p. M. His remains were
taken to the Presbyterian graveyard at
Middle Springs.
On Wednesday night last, after War
rem Carter's family had retired to bed,
but before any of them had time to get
to sleep, the young man in the employ
of Mr.. c., heard noise outside of the
| house. In few minutes later he was
confronted by man coming in at the
window. Johnny (for that is the young
mans name) raised up in bed and bade
him in a sharp manner to get out (; but
! instead of obeying his command, the
thief, or would-be thief, or murderer or
whatever might have been his inten-
tions, stood there looking very defiant
But Johnny told him if he did not go
he would shoot and by this time he was
ready to suit the action to the word
The thief Immediately jumped down
from the window and beat O hasty re-
treat down through the yard and our
hero with the pistol sent a bullet after
him. There were two men seen to run,
and pair of pantaloons left lying on
the cellar door. The owner of these
pants can get them by calling and prov
ing property and stating reasons for the
! visit.

Mash Up. = Tuesday morning last
Misses Annie and AIDA Thompson,
daughters of Maj. Robert Thompson of
Watts township, met with mishap
near the residence of A. V. Hombach,
in Howe township, which was of seri-
GUS nature, but might have been worse.
1t seems that the ladies were driving
along the road towards the river, when
their horse took fright and ran away,
upsetting the buggy and throwing both
ladies out, one of whom was caught by
the top and dragged short distance.
The horse ran to Hombach's stable,
where he brought up against the wealth
er-boarding with considerable force, and
was secured by Mrs. Hombach before he
could back out. After securing the ami
NAL Mrs, II. turned her attention to the
ladies, who were taken into the house
and washed off, when it was found that
one of them sustained a bad cut on her
head, from which the blood flowed down
over her face and clothes, and the other
lady had some painful bruises about her
person. Although they were considera-
bly, scratched and bruised, and the har-
ness and buggy much broken, they fixed
up as well as they could, and started on
their homeward road. A gentleman led
the horse down the road towards the
pottery. How they reached home has
not yet been reported. We trust their
injuries are not serious.-L Ledger.

laniata County. - We copy the follow
ing from the Juniata county papers of
last week
During the prevalence of the storm
which passed through portion of the
Tuscarora Valley about noon on Satur-
day last, two fine cows and two head of
young cattle belonging to Mr.. Jacob
Heinbach. tenanto on Mr.. Henry Ebberts'
farm in Spruce Hill township, were
killed by the lightning striking tree
under which the cattle had taken
shelter.
One day last week Miss Annie Lands,
daughter of Mr.. John Lands, of Tur-
bett township, while engaged in picking
cherries felt the limb on which she was
standing giving way, and in order to
save herself from falling she jumped to
the ground, spraining one of her ankles
very badly, since which time she has
not been able to go about much.
Mr.. McMurtrie, of the Juniata House
supposed his COW had strayed and adj
vertised for her, but strange to say, the
advertisement failed to find her. Ad-
vertising was thought to be failure but
printers knew better. They said the
notice hadn't a fair chance, and 80 it
proved, for after a lapse of a few weeks,
he found little bits of the COW he recog-
nized, on the railroad above Patterson.
While Robt. H. Patterson, the enter
prising young merchant CT Peru Mill,
was in Philadelphia last week, he met
with very severe accident. He was
out at Fairmount Park and in descend
ing terrace his foot caught and threw
him down, distance of several feet
His left arm was pronounced severely
sprained by surgeon, but next day a
further examination was made, on ac-
count of its painfulness, when it was
close up to the shoulder joint. He was
compelled to stay in the city on account
of the injury.
