DISASTERS 70 rHE DluRNAL.
After n Narrow Escape From Rurnins,
Hl,c Ia DIsnbIetl by tho Ice.

She II Disabled BY the Ice.
The steamer Diurnal, Capt. Asa Booths
fleet, handsome and deservedly popular
packet in the Wheeling and Psrkersburg
trade, is laid up at this point for repairs.
SIZE met with several misfortunes yesterday
on her up trip. Shortly after midnight
Yesterday morning the Waterman went in
10 the pantry to get a lunch, when be
ioupd the partition between that apart
ment and the cook.house in flames. A
lamp had been turned down and LETT sus'
pended from the partition. This, appar.
emily, had exploded, and given start to
the firs. The Waterman was Just in time,
for even at that early stSge he had some
little difficulty in extinguishing the DIRE.
Had he been only q few minutes later in
making the discovery the doom Of the
packet and its passengers would have been
sealed.
Only few hours later the boat encoun-
tered the ice from the Alleg heny river,
and her course was 80 impeded that she
did not reach Bellaire until considerably
aftsr daylight. There her wheel was
found 10 be total wreck, having scarcely
a sound bucket left. The Nail City towed
her up from Bellaire, and she will at once
90 to work on a new wheel and make the
needed repairs to her partitions.

comment in this city, not only on account
Of the magnitude Of the swindle, but
more on account OF the position that the
Doctor holds in the community. 1t Is
likely, however, that hereafter not only
he. but all other West Virginia ministers,
will be on the alert, while in Cincinnati,
for bunko swindlers.

Neglect of Children.

Many a mother has wept over
the sins of her child, little dream
ing that while she pursued her
round of idle pleasures, her child
was taking its first lessons in sin
from the example of vicious
nurse. The truth Is, parents take
upon themselves too many unne-
cessary burdens, and consider
themselves bound by duty to per-
form too many tasks, which are of
much less consequence than the
teaching ana training of their chill
dren. The father has his trade or
profession, and his few leasure
hours he must spend in social
pleasures. The mother has her
household cares to perform, and
the comfort of her family to study,
and besides these there is so much
time to be devoted 10 fancy work !,
to visitors, and to amusements OF
one kind and another. Her chill
dren are made secondary consid-
erations, AMI depend upon the
kindness of hirelings. Their dres-
ses may be miracles of putting, ruf-
f1es and embroidery, but what
does that count when their minds
are dwarfed through neglect I?
Her house may be a model OF neat
ness, her bread excel that of her
neighbors, her jellies and preserves
enough to tempt the most fastidi-
Gus; but if, in all this, she has
kept aloof from her child, has
chilled his heart toward her, what
does it count?

A Touching Story.

One rarely meets a bit of more
touching romance than is found
in the following story, that comes
from Wales:
Wears ago some Welsh miners,
in exploring an Old pit that had
long been closed, found the body
of young man dressed ia a fash
ion long out Of date. The pecu-
liar action of the air of the mine
had been such as TO preserve the
body SO perfectly that 1T appeared
asleep rather than dead. The
miners were puzzled at the cir
cumstance no ore In the district
had been missed within their re-
memberance, and at last it was re-
solved To bring the oldest inhabi-
tant-an old lady long past her
eightieth year, who had lived sin
gle in the village the whole Of her
life. On being brought into the
presence of the body strange
scene occurred; the old lady fell
on the corpse, kissed and address
ed it by every term of loving n
dearment, couched in the language
OF a bygone generation. He was
her only love she waited for him
during her long life; she knew
that he had not forsaken her.
The old woman and the young
man had been betrothed sixty
years before. The lover had dis.
appeared mysteriously, and she
had kept faithful during that long
interval. Time had stood still
with the dead man, but had left
its lark on the living woman.
The miners who were present
were a rough set, but very gently
and with fearful eyes, they remov-
ed the old lady to her house, and
the same night her faithful spirit
rejoined that of her long lost lover.

Cautions I'm Eating.

4 OF course. don't eat too much.
The digestive fluids are limited in
quantity. All above enough is
undigested, irritating and weak
ening the system, and often caus-
ing paralysis of the b: ain by draw
ing on the nervous force more rap
idly than it Is generated.
2. Don't eat between meals.
The stomach must rest, or 1t will
sooner or later break down. Even
the heart has 10 rest between the
beats.
8. Don't eat full meal when
exhausted, TIE stomach is as ex-
hausted as the rest of the body.
4. Don't take lunch at noon
and eat heartily at night. The
whole Digestive system needs to
share in the rest and recuperation
of sleep. Besides, the tendency is
to put full meal into a weakened
stomach.
5. Don't substitute stimulus for
food-like many women who do
half days work on strong coffee
VI Tea. AS wei, In tne case Oh
horse substitute the whip for oats.
6. Don't have daily monoto-
ny of dishes. Variety is necessary
for relish, and relish is necessary
10 good digestion.
z. Don't eat blindly. There
can be nothing in the body--m us
Giles, membranes, bones. nerve,
brain which is not in our food.
One article furnishes one or more
elements, and another others. We
could starve on fine -four. Some
articles do not nourish, only warm.
s. Eat according to the season !;
one-third less in summer than in
winter. In the latter fat meat, su-
gar, and starch are appropriate, as
being heat-makers in the former,
milk, vegetables, and every varie-
ty of ripe fruit.
8. Eat with cheer. Cheer pro-
NOTES digestion; care, fret and pas
sion arrest it. Lively chat, racy
anecdotes, and innocent gossip are
better than HalfOrd sauce.

Loneliness i'm Woman.

LONELINESS in. woman, though 1t
may vary In it's character and
manifestation in different periods
of life, is not the property of youth
only. There is q great and unde-
niable charm in the fresh beauty
of eighteen, to which perhaps in
experience and early romance lend
an additional fascination. A pref
ty girl of that age, who has been
untouched by care, and who
knows Of the world through imag-
nation only, Is a very delightful
object; and many men are anx-
ious to take captive her first affec-
tions.
Between eighteen and twenty
two, the changes of a girl, so far
as the charm of the person 60, are
not likely to be great but in that
time, by intercourse with society
and by natural development, she
may grow more companionable
for men of maturity, find her car
rage and self-control better and
greater. These are important years
In q young woman's life, the years
during which in our climate a
majority of her sex are married.
And yet, from twenty-five to
twenty-five or twenty-six. a maid
en- may and generally does still
further advancein attractiveness
and adds to her store of charms.
She is still young, but she has out
lived many youthful fancies, and
feels some of the dignity of wo-
manhood. No better ages than
those in a woman's life and never
Is she lovelier.
But why stop at twenty-six :?
What fairer women are to be
found than those between twenty
six and thirty, and even older?

THE MARKED GRAVE.
LILLE K. BARR.

Bowies rangers, out Oh the trail,
Had galloped from early dawn;
But the prairie road was cool and sweet,
And green as a garden lawn
And the strong air stirred the blood like
wine
The strong air, scented with flowers and
pine.
Silent and stern and ready to fight,
They followed the Indian foe,
Till Bowie cried ''Let the brides fall,
For the san is sinking low.
We must feed and rest or we shall fail,
Though fifty miles on the Upon trail.
They had reached the grove ofmighty oaks
Into the shadows they went;
The saddles were loosened, the beasts and
men
Were glad of their leafy tent.
Said Bowie: "Just take your rife. Hays,
And see how the land around US lays.
The youth went forward with head-up
step;
Came back with quicker tread,
Captain, found beneath yon oak
A man that is" "Dead ?' Quite
dead.
His saddle and whip beside him lay,
reckon his horge has strayed away
Yes, dead he lay in the blowing grass,
Lay sleeping like any child.
One arm was under his curly head
His lips still family smiled.
Booted and spurred he had gone to rest,
But looked like man that death had
blessed.
There was not wound, or mark, or stain
There was not line to tell
From whence he came, or what was his
name,
Nor where he was wont to dwell.
HWell, no matter" said Bowie, 'because
Where we know nothing at all, God
knoaes %
They dug him a grave beneath the oak,
And Bowie, with hrnting.knife,
Cut deep in its living bark the date
When the stranger stepped from life.
Then, glancing down, with solemn pause,
Cut under the date two words: God
knoacs ~
