LITTLE MISCHIEF.

Little Mischief keeps the household
in constant hubbub-boo.
If she's quiet, then tis certain,
She is deep in mischief, too.
Ali about the house she travels,
Restless, busy little elf.
If she spies some hidden treasure,
Reaches up and helps herself.
There's no use to reprimand her;
She looks up i'm blank surprise,
With her baby lips a-tremble,
And reproachful. tear-dimmed eyes
Mamma thinks herself q heathen,
Such a baby-girl to scold.
Why, of course, she knows no better
Mischief isn't two years old.
Eo we put our little trinkets
Higher up beyond her reach.
And with loving smiles and kisses,
Rights of others try TO teach.
Yet we know we ought to scold her

One said: Ring the bells right glad
For a bridal Said the other:
For the dead ring slow and sad"
So it chanced that at the bridal.
All turned pale to hear the bell;
While the gladSome wedding Ginning

But the angels hearing, whispered:

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Mr., D. w. Wilson Struck by Project
ing Timber and Instantly
Killed

One of the most distressing railroad acct
dents that has ever taken place in this city
occurred on the St. Paul, Minneapolis &,
Manitoba railroad about 1:45 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, resulting in the instant death
of Doris W Wilson. an estimable young
man whose parents reside in this city.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Wilson boarded
the passenger train for st. Paul, which left
Minneapolis at so O'Clock, aud nothing Of
note occurred until the train neared the
bridge which spans the railroad crossing at
Smelling avenue. Just before the train
reached the bridge, Mr.. Wilson stepped out
to the platform and as be did SO the up
bound train on the other track came along.
AS the latter train passed he stepped down to
the lower step Of the platform and, taking
hold Of the iron railing, he leaned forward to
watch the retreating train.
Just as he did so his train reached the
bridge, and before he was aware of the dan
ger he was struck by one Of the upright tim
bers, the shock being such as to knock him
from the train. When picked Up he was
dead, his head and limbs being badly bruised
and mangled. The body was brought to
St. Paul and Coroner Quinn was summoned.
1t was taken in charge by Leigh, the under
taker and an inquest viii be held at 80
O'Clock tomorrow.
Mr. Wilson was twenty-six years OF age, a
carpenter by trade and unmarried. His pa
rents reside on Mississippi street and Mr..
Jacob Wilson, his brother, is the treasurer Of
Little Canada township. He had been work
ing at Rice Lake and was on his way to St.
Paul to pass the Sabbath
