half-6nished, forsaken things told me a
sad story about that little girl.
They told me that, with heart full OF
generous affection, with head full OF
useful and pretty projects, all of which
she had both the means and the skill to
carry into effect, she was still useless
child-always doing, but never accom-
phshang her work. 1t was not a want
of perseverance,.
Remember, my dear young friends that
it matters but little what great thing we
merely undertake. Our glory is not in
that, but in what we accomplish. No
body in the world cares for what we
mean to do; but everybody will open
their eyes byand-by to see what men and
women and little children haze done.

In the benWOod Coal DAnk-TWo Men
Injured.
Yesterday morning about $50 o'clock, an
explosion OF hre.damp or mine gas occurred
in the coal bank OF the Bsnwood Mill that
was attended by serious, but happily not fatal
results. Yesterday was measuring day."
and Mr.. Joseph Hoey, the bank boss, In com
pany with Louis Hoffman, was making the
rounds and taking down the results OF the
fOrtnights work. They had gone In about d
mile when they stopped 10 investigate an old
entry with view 10 having II cut through.
Mr.. Hoey hadlvislted the entry last Friday,
and at that time there were no signs OF tie
damp, still he thought II best 10 be cautious,
and therefore held the lamp, close to the
ground, but the place was 80 full OF the gas
that they had gone in but a short distance
before the explosion occurred Both men
were blown backwards and burned. Hoey's
face, head and hands were badly blistered,
and Hoffman was rather seriously burned
and injured about the head back and stOm.
aCh. The crash Of the explosion, followed BY
the roar and rush Of The wind, alarmed he
men In the other parts Of the mine, and they
fastened to the spot and removed the men.
Hoffman was taken 10 his home In Denwood,
and Hoey TO his home, corner Of Fortleth and
Jacob streets IN this city.
Such explosions are rare In this part OF the
country, and the cause Of Yesterdays Is
unexplained, unless Il be that the old entry
was not we'll ventilated. No other part Of the
mine was In the least affected, and the harm
done Is confined TO the old entry.
