BY ELLA WHEELER NlItOA.
There are songs enough for hero
Who dwells on the heights of fame;
sing for the disappointed
For those who missed their aim.
sing with fearful cadence
For one who stands in the dark,
And knows that the last best arrow
Has bounded back from the mark.
sing for the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul
Who falls with his strength exhausted
Almost in sight of the goal.
For the hearts that break in silence
With a sorrow all unknown
For those who need companions,
Yet walk their ways alone.
There are songs enough for the lovers
Who share loves tender pain;
sing for the one whose passion
Is given and in vain.
For those whose spirit-comrades
Have missed them on the way
sing, with O heart o'erfowing,
This minor strain to-day.
And know the solar system
Must somewhere keep in space
A prize for that spent runner
Who barely lost the race.
For the plan would be imperfect
Unless it held some sphere
That paid for the toll and talent
And love that are wasted here.

who fought the fire by throwing snow on
it, while she screamed loudly for help and
aroused the family. Miss McCarty i.
under arrest, but denies the charge. She
is a very prepossessing girl.

Treasurer Hartman's office was blown
open this morning about . o'clock by
thieves, and 5000 in money, SIC, 1000 in
notes and $500 in county warrants

WMKEsBARRE, Jan. lS.--Therc is no
change in the condition of affairs at slope
number one of the NAnticoke mine, where
the miners were buried. A sensational
report spread through the valley yesterday
that the rescuing party had discovered a
bright light ahead of them, but this is
denied on the best authority. The work
of clearing up the gangways continues
slowly; nothing has been discovered up to
o to-day, nor have any signs of the
buried men been found. A considerable
stream of water is now running along the
gangway where the men are at work, and
another rush OF sand is feared at any mo-
ment. From all Appearances this morn
ing it will be weeks before the bodies Of
the men are reached, if they are ever re-
covered. 1t is possible, however, that if
the victims were caught in the gangway
and overwhelmed by the flood, their
bodies may be reached at any time.
