DEAL GENTLY WITH THE CRANKS.

What would we do if it were not for the cranks? How slow the tired old world would move, did not the cranks keep it rushing along. Columbus was a crank on the subject of circumnavi- gation, and at last met the fate of most cranks-was thrown into prison. and died in poverty and disgrace. Greatly venerated now. Oh yes, Telemachus, we usually esteem crank most pro- foundly after we starve him to death. Harvey was a crank on the subject of the circulation of the blood; Calico was an astronomical crank; Fulton was a crank on steam navigatiOn Morse was telegraph crank. All the bold abolition ists were cranks John Bunyon was a crank, and any one who doesn't think as you do, my son. is crank. And bye and bye the crank you despise will have his name in every man s mouth, and a half complete monument to his memory Crumbing down in a dozen cities while nobody outside of your village will know that you ever lived.
 Deal gently with the cranks, my boy. Of course, some Cranks are cr2nkier than others, but do you be very slow to sheer at man, because he knows only one thing and you cant understand him. You thank Heaven you are not crank :? Don't do that, my son. May be you couldn't be crank if you would. Heaven is not very particular when it wants a weather vane; almost any man can do for that. But when it wants a crank. my boy, it looks very carefully for the best man in the community Before you thank Heaven that you are not crank, examine yourself carefully and see what is the great deficiency that debars you from such d selection.-- Robert /. Burdctte.

NEWS OF THE WEEK.


Another Terrible Railroad Disaster.
A frightful accident took place early
Saturday morning on the Savannah,
Florida and Western railroad, a sec
ton of the fast mail train from New
York for Jacksonville going through a
trestle near Waycross, Ga, killing %
people and injuring about 35 others.
George Gould and Mrs. Gould were
aboard in a special car, with President
Wilbur of the Lehigh Valley road.
The Goulds we're only slightly scratch
ed, although their car went down with
the rest, but President Wilbur was
badly hurt and one of his sons, Mer-
rift A, was killed. A broken rail
caused the accident.
The train consisted of n combination
car, three baggage cars, smoking car,
one coach, two Pullman sleepers and a
private car of the Lehigh Valley rail
road The combination coach is re-
ported to be the first one which struck
the ground. On it fell the passenger
coach, the sleepers and the special car.
The scene at the moment after the
wreck was heart rending. The lower
coaches were well-nigh smashed to
pieces. Fortunate were those passen-
gers to whom death came instantly.
Every coach was filled and hardly
passenger escaped without some in
jury. When the wreck was partly
cleared away, the disaster, serious as it
was, was less horrible than it was fear
ed. Physicians and citizens hurried to
the scene of the wreck and everything
possible was done for the relief of the
sufferers.
