STRENGTH OF THE HILLS.

Ny thoughts go home to that old brown
house,
And ITS garden fragrant with roses and
Thyme,
That blossom no longer. except in rhyme,
Where the koney-tees used to feast
Afar in the west the great hills rose
Silent aud steadfast and gloomy and gray;
thought they were giants, and doomed TO
keep
Their watch. while the world should wake
TTu The Trumpet should sound on the judg-
mcnt day.
used to wonder of what they dreamed
As they brooded there in their silent might.
While March winds smote them, or June
Or the SHOWS of winter their ghostly spell
Wrought in the long and lonesome night.
They remembered a younger world than
ours,
Before the trees on their top were born,
When the Old brown house was itself n tree,
And waste were the fields where now you see
The winds astir in the tasselled corn.
And ! was as young as the hills were old.
And the world was warm with the breath
of spring,
And tho roses red and tRe ill 'cs white
Buddcd and bioomed for nv hearts delight,
And the birds in my heart began to sing.
But calm in the distance the great hills rose,
Deaf unto raptures and dumb unto pain,
Since they knew that Joy is the mother Of
Grief.
And remembered a butterfly's life is brief
And the sun sets only to rise again.
They viii brood, and dream, and be silent, as
now,
When the youngest children alive to-day
Have grown to be women and men, grown
Old,
And gone FROM the world like tale that is
told.
And even those echo forgcts to stay.

PERIODS OF DEPRESSION.

The Stupid Statement. That Business Stag
nation Is Attributable to Democratic
Ascendency.
In their desperation the Republican
organs are endeavOr.ng to charge the
cont nuance of business depression upon
Democratic rule. OF course, all intel
l;gent business men, who understand
the causes and sources OF the pres ent de-
preston, ridicule the stupid statements
made bT those papers that CONNER
cial revival would have followed Mr..
Blaine'S election. The increased evil
denceS of an improved feeling in busi-
ness circles in this country show that
the era of revival is at hand. and that
capital, which has been so long tied up
to the paralyAaIion of industry. is en-
couraged to strike out boldly and extern
sively on the field of enterprise. The
period of depression is certain to be

and after half days examination he con-
cluded that its value had been stated with
tolerabie accuracy. 1t showed stubborn
soil in the open, alternating with sparse
woodland, and on one eminence the founda-
tion and cellar of an intended mansion
house, grown over with weeds and brush,
and known in the region as Fosters Folly.
|, This was ON the leased portion of the es-
tate; and as Mark rode his horse slowly
around the base of the hill, wondering
what in the name of agriculture or land
speculation could have induced any one to
hire piece of this Improbable country,
he became conscious of a sound as of reg
ular gasping or painting. Continuing his
course. there mingled with this the noise
of a creak and thud alternating; and on
finally rounding the hill he saw, rising be-
fore MIN. just at the foot of the declivity,
one Of those skeleton towers with which
certain districts in Pennsylvania are so
thickly planted, but which seemed an eX-
otic indeed in this region. 1t was an oil
derrick. down whose center the drill was
patiently plunging, while near by little
steam engine was painting and wheeling
as the working beam tilted and creaked.
He had come upon a "wild-cat" location,
for this was far outside the accepted limits
of the oil belt, and no prospector had be-
fore riSked his money on the drill in this
unpromising region. 1t was, moreover, an
exceptional incident in the history of

lease his land, or, indeed, pay any atten-
ton to the claims of ownership. Could
it be that at this distance from all known
oil-fields, in section which experts had
condemned as harren by all the tests of
geology, there had been found ''indica-
tions" of sufficient value to warrant such
protection as a formal lease affords.
This startling suggestion took on more
force when Mark observed that the base of
the derrick was iuclosed by a stout and
tight shed, at whose single entrance there
appeared to welcome his approach a dog
of bicod-thirsty aspect, who greeted
him vociferously. Whoever the operator
might be, he must certainly have some
thing more encouraging than dry sand be-

THE MELANCHOLY DETAILS.

At a little after 7:30 o'clock Fri
day morning, the 18th inst, terrif-
ic explosion occurred in tile Crescent
Touring mills, on Railroad street, be-
tween Russellville and Spring streets.
Comparatively few people were STIR
ring at that early hour, but in few
minutescrowds ofexcited people were
seen hurrying to the scene. The fire
bell was rungvigorously, but although
the mill took fire the flames were
promptly extiuguished by the en-
ployes aswateris always kei tdistribu-
ted over the mill for such emergencies.
A representative of the SOUTH KEN
TUcKIAN was on his way down town
and witnessed the explosion from a
point on Liberty street, some four or
five squares OIL. The roofing of the
engine room, together with the smoke
and steam, shot up hundred feet
into the air with tremendous crash
and the whole horizon in the vicinity
seemed darkened. AS the tin and
iron fragments fell TO the earth with
a loud, roaring sound and the smoke
slowly lifted away horrible sight
met the gaze. The engine room was
utterly and entirely demolished,
with the exception of one corner Of
the roof which had lodged on the
side of the main building, forming a
triangle about large enough for a
man to stand under. When we con-
slider that a man was in this identi-
cal spot, the only place of possible
safety IN the room, and that he es-
capped with scratch, ii looks like his
life was saved by miracle. Four
people were in the engine room and
Frank Werling, the engineer, calmly
crawled out Of the wreck at the
northwest corner and told the names
of the others, one of whom was his
own son. Willing hands set to work
and in few minutes the mangled,
blackened bodies of j. p. Brining,
Nelson Metcalfe, COL, and little
George Werling were pulled ont
from under the debris, near the
smoke-stack. The following diagram
will give an idea of the location of
the boilers and other objects in the
room:
