FOREVER YOUNG.
The wild world hastens on Its way;

The wild world hastens on Its way;
The gruy haired cent:,ry neaI7s its cIots;

The summer blush forsakes the rose,
Eut, darling. while your voice hear
And while your derk brown eyes seN
SAL months md sunless seasons dcAr
Are all the scnle, all Glad to me.
Despair can never reach me
While your soft hand hold;
While you, eyes love and teach ma
lnevcr shall grow old.
They sny that love forsakcs the old,
That passion ralcs and fades away;
Thnt even loves bright locks Of gold
Must lose their charm and change to gray;
But darling, while your heart is mine,
And while feel that you are true,

With summer light and 'endc:cst biH,
Yes, let old age derac me.

TnInTEEN LIVES LOST.

san FRANCISCO. May 81. One OF the
most horrible railway accidents ever
known in California occurred at lao
o'clock Friday afternoon, when a local
train connecting at Oakland with the
ferryboats from san Francisco ran
through an open draw bridge over
San Antonio creek at Webster
creek, Oakland The yacht Juanita
had just passed through the draw when
the train appeared, going in the direc-
ton of Alameda The bridge
keeper endeavored at once to close the
bridge. but it was too late. and the en-
CINE and tender and the first car which
was filled with passengers, plunged
quite deep. Engineer sam Dunn
and Fireman O'Brien went down
with the engine, but were picked up and
Immediately disappeared. The former
when he saw that the bridge did not
close, reversed the lever, but the mo-
mentum of the engine was too great to
be stopped in time. The weight of the en-
CINE and the first car broke the couplings
and left the other two cars of the train
standing on the track. The second car
ran about one-third Of the way across
the bridge and stopped, but the jar was
sufficient to break open the front of the
car, and many Of the passengers were
thrown into the water.
The first car, which had followed the
engine TO the bottom OF the muddy
estuary. soon rose. and such Of the pas
sengers as had escaped therefrom were
picked up by yachts and small boats
which had gathered at the scene.
In short time thirteen bodies lay on
the floor and on the marble slabs Of the
morgue, awaiting Identification.
