The VINEYARD and the vine.

DR.. John Ellis, in the Nelo ChrtSf1Gnhp, IN IN
a suggestive article, entitled 1.-The vineyard
and the ViIe," writes: ~
"How wonderful the distinction between
the lfe-and health giving product. OF the
vine in the grape, and as pressed from inc
grape and preserved without fermentation, In..;r1
Of Which our Lord and Master said: DRINK
We all of it, and the wine that maKeta
drunken, which is likened. in ether pas saseSs
in The Word, to the poison of dragons and
the cruel venom of asps!' which fills man
both physically and spiritually, as we well well
know, with all manner Of uncleanllness anu
impurity. Oh, how can Christians use OF
countepance the use of such wine"

We have heard Chaplain tell of having
bivouacked with his brigade upon an open
field, each soldier wrapped in his blanket,
but with nothing over him but the cold,
cloudy sky. Early the next morning be
arose, and all over the field were little
mounds like new made graves each cover, d
with drapery Of fleecy snow, which had
fallen two or three inches deep during the
night, and covered every sleeping soldier, as
if in the winding sheet Of death. Directly,
while he was gazing upon the strange spec
tacle, here and there man would stir, rise,
shake himself, and stand forth in momentary
amazement at the sight. 1t was like res
direction n-scene and failed not to make its
impression upon the beholder.
So the Churches have been camping,
slumbering amid the frosts OF worldliness
that have well nigh filled chem to the heart,
and the world has seen more snow-covered
graves than beacon fires!
But now-thank God!-the day cometh.
An alarm has sounded all along the lne

TRIED TO WRECK RAILROAD TRAIN
A track walker on the Housatonic Railroad
Friday discovered lot of railroad spikes,
car links and rail chairs heaped upon the
rails at sharp curve at The edge Of the
large Housatonio ice pond, near Bridgeport,
Conn, where train would plunge into deep
water. The limited Pittsfield express from
Lenox, Stockbridge and Great Darlington.
with it's load of passengers returning to New
York, was nearly due when the discovery
was made. Thespikes we're driven between
the ends of the rails and the links laid on
an incline, go as to turn the faDg-s OF a
train from the track. Charles Schwindle
and George Virgins, II and IS years old
respectively, we're arrested and admitted
placing the distractions on the track, but
said they ''meant no HARM" The maximum
penalty for placing obstructions on track
to derail passenger train is thirty years
imprisonment. A similar case happened in
almost the same locality few years ago,
and the offender is now serving a twenty
years sentence.

PULLED FROM A ScAFFoLD AND CRUSH
ED-A singular and fatal accident occurred
Saturday morning in little alley called
Crockett's court, Philadelphia. Hugh Brown,
an employe of the Bell Telephone Company.
was hurled headlong to the ground from a
scafold eighty feet in height, and his brains
we're dashed out. The crown of his head
was crushed in, revealing the interior of his
skull, and nearly every bone in his hody was
broken. Brown wac on the roof of Charles
]. Cohen's stationery store repairing CHM
ney that had been damaged by several new
wires placed across the building by the Bell
Telephone Company, and was standing on
scatfold attached to the caves OF the building
when wagon loaded with bricks passed up
the alley. The driver, colored man by
the name of Charles Fl. Martin, not noticing
the rope dangling in folds from the scaffold,
and reaching to the top, whipped his horses
suddenly, and scream stop, driver, stop"
was heard overhead. The rope caught in
the spokes of the wheel, and winding itself
around the hub rs the wagon moved on,
pulled the scaffolding down from its dizzy
height, together with Brown who, first strik-
ing against an awning at the second story
in his descent, was hurled prone upon his
face on the sidewalk below. A few bricks
which had been placed on the scaffold fol-
lowed the direction of the fall of the man,
and assisted in the dreadful accident Bt crush
ing the back of his head. After his fall
Brown uttered neither groan ncr word,
and, raising himself slightly and twitching
his arms and body, died in few moments.
The driver of the cart, Martin, was arrested.
