Phila. North American:
II the excellent management of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore
Railroad Company could not prevent
such unfortunate accidents as that
which occurred on Wednesday at the
Twenty-third-street crossing, it must be
evident thstit would be the part of wis.
dom for that company to consider the
example Of the Pennsylvania, and avoid
grade crossings by means of an elevated
line. 1t seems 10 us to be only ques.
ton Of time as to the complete masking
Of all the the steam lines in tho city.
The sooner, therefore, the work shall
be undertaken in earnest the better il
will be for all concerned.

Jonathan Holt well known to many
in Wilmington, but residing in Reading
committed suicide by hanging himself
between last Saturday evening and the
following Wednesday. He was about
80 years Of age, bore an Excellent char
acter and had been for many years a
member and class leader in ST. Paul's
". r. church In Reading. His mind
became somewhat effected, however, on
the subject Of spiritualism and the
election campaign coming on he took an
active part for the political party to
which he belonged. Religion and poll
tics seemed TO be more than hs could
bear. On Saturday last his wife VITO
was a native Of Lancaster, took their
two children and went to that city to
see her friends, shortly after which IL is
supposed Mr.. Holt went into his house
and hung himself. A letter to Mr..
Bruce in this city Informs the friends
'f Mr.. Holt Of the sad event.

THE LITTLE HOUSEWIFE.

We called Der Matte. Early with the lark
Her merry voice gave greeting to the sum-
For pcariy dawn must grow 10 grewsone
dark
Before her round Of duties should be done.
Her eager feet sped through the house all
day.
Master and man watched for her little form.
Who else could hold such firm and gentle
sway.
Or qtali the rising Of each household
storm!
Guest watched with guest the force Of that
sweet reign,
The soft uutying OF each tangled knot;
None ever sked her care or love in vain,
Or felt himself neglected OF forgot.
"wha, beauty had sheg' We could not have

For loneliness of every form and mold

Our lives were guided 10y her gentle power;
Through her right seemed to triumph over
wrong;
Her smile would brighten cen the darkest
hour:
Her sweet Good night was our best even

wards lnng-trouble, and his physician
recommended this journey As the best
means Of establishing his health.
had no children to keep me at home,
and begged so hard to be taken along.
and made so many promises about scant
luggage, and giving no trouble, that at
last he allowed me to accompany him.
Il WIS strange, wild, lonely life we
led. Sometimes we would drive
through the country from sunrise to
sunset without meeting or seeing hui
man being. We would always endeav-
or 10 make our arrangements so as to
secure nights lodgings under a roof;
but two or three times it happened that
we had TO resort to the tents which we
carried in our light wagon, and en-
camp out on the vast prairie, under the
quiet stars.
The week before my adventure oc-
CURED, we had been SO fortunate as to
encounter, or rather to overtake, par
~ OF three New Englanders, who were
jaunting through those wilds on bust
ness, something about cattle, believe.
They seemed gentlemen of abundant
means and leisure, and it was so de-
lightful to come upon three cultivated
people after our long absence from
home that we welcomed these strangers
as old friends, and finding, after half an
hours conversation, it mutually con-
venient TO proceed in the same direc-
ton, we were presently jogging along
together. talking and comparing notes
as conhdentiaily as if we had known
one another ali our lives.
One cool evening in January, we
drew up in from; of the large comforta-
bic dwelling which had been described
To us by our host of the night before.
and where we were assured we should
find substantial comforts and ready hos
pi,ality.
One of our party alighted, knocked.
and was soon admitted into the hall.
Aparley ensued, lasting several min
utes, aud presently he came towards us
accompanied by the owner of the house.

well-mannered.

introducing him. "Mr. Rice. says it
will be impossible for him to acccmmo-
date our party this evening; his house
is full.

other. especially sorry since find l

''but every available room is occupied.
In fact, and my wife will have TO be-
take ourselves to the parior sofa to-
night. We would gladly admit you
but for being so crowded"
what is the cause of such a
crowd?' asked my husband.
1.-The fair in the next town, sir; all
these people in my house are on their
way 10 attend it, and and my family
intend going tomorrow. We lead
such quiet life ordinarily that we well
come u little change now and then"
He was very kind; he talked the
matter over with us, went back
into the house TO consult with his wife,
and finally returned and offered us the
use of a bare garnet room for the
night
There is only the bare room. but
perhaps these gentlemen may prefer it
