A MOTHERS LAMENT.

All! once had a little lad
Who sat upon my knee.
And thought OF none and cared for none
In all the world save me;
Who ran with little hands outsfretched
My coming in to greet;
And showed his JOY in tender words,
Or kisses soft and sweet.
A handsome, winning little lad,
Whose head lay on my breast
When through the silence OF the night
sought the peace OF rest;
Whose presence saved me from despair,
And gave my life its bloom:
Whose merry laugh and happy face
Lit up the darkest gloom.
My little lad, my little lad,
70 manhood grown to-day:
All, though love him still the same,
There's something passed away.
He knows Of other love than mine,
His eyes are on the girls;
The hand that nested once in mine
A mustache fondly curls.
Forevermore I've lost the lad
Who sat upon my knee,
And wanted in this wide. wide world
No one to love save me.

She Brought the Road to Terms.

The second railway built in this coun-
try, we believe, was a short line of twenty
miles from Niagara Falls to Lockport,
the track made of wooden scantling or
string pieces with strap iron laid on top
for rails. BY the way, these often turned
up one end and, catching above the
wheel, came piercing up through the
bottom of the car. The engines CT those
days were of course very weak in power.
On this railroad was a light grade for
few hundred feet. Near this lived a
widow woman who had large fat hog
which one day got upon the track and
was killed, The railway people refused
to pay her for it. on the ground that the
hog had no business on the road. She
had the lard tried out, and after falling
to get anything from the railway, she
spread this lard literally upon the rails
for considerable distance along the as
cending grade, The engine having then
no sanding" arrangement, it was unable
TO climb the grade; and as often as they
sprinkled sand on the track by hand and
had passed by, she swept it off and APP
Piled more lard. The result was, the
ra lway company paid her all she asked
for the hog. Prairie Farmer

FOUR MEN BLOWN TO PIECES.
Over 40 Other. Injured by Flying
Fragments.

A violent explosion occurred at Duponts
powder works at Wapwallopen, Pa, and
four men were instantly killed. The explo-
sion took place in the packing house. At
Nanticoke and Nanamie, chimneys toppled
from the roofs and school children ran in
terror from the schoolhouses. Men and
women fiocked toward the mines, where they
thought the explosion happened, and where
the members of their families were at work
At Wapwallopen nearly every building was
wrecked. Beside the killed, over 40 persons
were injured. The four men were blown to
pieces, and only small portions of their bodies
have been found. The cause of the accident
is not known, as all of those who
were in the burning building are dead
None of the injured will die, their injuries
being slight, resulting principally from fly
ing fragments of glass. The new Methodist
church at Wapwallopen, which was dedi-
Gated recently, and stood 500 feet from the
scene of the explosion, was completely
wrecked, entailing a loss of $5OOO There
were about two tons of powder in the build
ing when the explosion occurred There is
no trace of the packing house left, not even
the foundation remaining. Rocks weighing
100 pounds and more We're blown to the top

Cannibal Island Currency.

Mr.. Walter Coote has described some
curious moneys of the New HEIR. des and
the Solomon Islands. On one of the ISL
ands he noticed neatlykept house,
which he was told was the money house.
Entering it, he found a number of maps
hanging from the roof, beneath which
fire was constantly kept up, under the
effect of which they become covered with
a black, glistening coating and adorned
with festoons of SCOT. 1t was mans
business to keep the fire always burning.
and 50 low as not to scorch the maps. A
well-colored map is worth about as much
as a well-grown, vigorous boar. This is
the strangest of all kinds of money, for
it must never be taken from the money
house, even when the title of it is trans
ferred from one owner to another. The
Inhabitants of Santa Cruz Island use for
money, rope-ends, about an inch thick,
and ornamented with scarlet feathers,
which are worn about the waist. The
traveller could not obtain new ceins of
this kind, but found them current every
where. The specimens he bought were
already old, and the feathers grown
dingy. The money Of the Solomon ISL
ands consisted of neatly-worked pieces
of shell of about the size of our shirt
buttons. They are strung on strings
about four yards long, and are distin-
gushed under the names of red and
white money. Dog-teeth are of higher
value, and comparable to our gold coins.
They are usually worn on a string around
the neck. Mr.. Coote saw necklace of
this kind that was valued at about 500.
Marble rings are also worn for orna-
ments, and as valuable money.

Thrown Down 40 FEET.
serious Accident ON the COnsO o lidated
Near New Hartford, Ct.

A serious accident occurred near Union
vile, CT, on the Northampton division of
the Consolidated railroad. The conductor
was S. w. Bentley, and the brakeman John
DOty. All the hands live in New Hartford.
Where the accident occurred the track is in
the shape of letter S, and the tran was 60
ing at its usual speed about 20 miles an hour.
The inner rail of the curve spread outward
for about 200 yards, and the two cars
were thrown down an embankment
of 40 feet. The engine did not leave the
rails, and the two trucks of the tender es-
capped going down the steep bank. The cars
brought upat the foot of the bank on their
sides. Luckily no harm resulted from tho
stoves beng upset Inside the coach the pas
sengerS were terribly frightened, being
hurled with great violence amid flying selts.
As soon as possible the passengers were taken
out. Miss Ella Brockway Of BIrkhamstead
was very badly cut on the face, and a cash
extended from her forehead across her head
nearly to her neck She was also injured
in the chest and was uncon-
Scious when taken to a naighboring house,
where Drs. Horton and Edgerton attended
her. Rev. William Miller of New Britain,
was quite badly hurt in the spine and back,
as well as receiving II large bruise on the
back of his head. His limbs were parayzed
when he tried to walk away from the car,
and fears are entertained that his injuries
are serious. TIL Sc two cases are the worst
results of the dis rster. Scarcely passenger
got out OF the upset car with no bruises.
