BRIDGE OF SIGHS.
A NARROW ESCAPE.

The citizens OF the quiet and
sweet Gem City" of Marietta, had
a very narrow escape, last week,
from what would have heen most
deplorable and horrifying disaster,
one which makes our typewriter
tremble and our blood thrill with
anguish as we think of what might
have been.
Owing to the gross and culpahle
carelessness OF one of the engines,
which persisted IN putting as it pass
ed beneath the time honored Erelect
which spans the W. & A., on Pow
der Spring road, spark was made
to lodge among the sacred splinters
OF one of the planks.
The thoughtless autumn breeze
gently famed that tiny spark into a
flame which, though small at first
threatened to assume much greater
proportions and lick up the veteran
bridge in it's devouring nav.
The attention of the inhabitants
living in the immediate vicinity was
speedily attracted to the thrilling
sight. Men, women and children
crowded to the doors and windows
of their respective habitations, and
with bated breath, anxiously await.
ed the anticipated disaster. Not
one dared to approach the frail
structure or make an effort to ex-
tingu;sh the growing flames. Even
the brave and efficient Fire Depart.
ment supinely rested, not daring to
breathe or move lest the breath and
that motion should seal the fate Of
the apparently doomed bridge. The
flames rolled On, the excitement be.

Young men and maidens who had
never yet exchanged hearts, as they
gazed into each others eyes with
intense expectancy, felt a strange
thrill and trobbing within then

ed their hands before their eyes to
shut out the appalling sight.
= Still the flames rushed on, gath
ering force every moment and heed
less of the suffering it was causing
the anxious hearts Of the almost
paralyzed spectators. The fire had
now consumed nearly the whole of
one splinter of fully two or three
inches in length.
At this painful junctlre in the
"course of human events" an in>
trepid colored negro man stepped
boldly upon the structure and, aim

at the devouring element, the fire
was instantly extinguished.
The indignant and disappointed
lockers on again resumed their nor
NAL state of breathing, and with
words and gestures which your cor
respondent could not interpret, sank
back to their tables and fresides,
leaving nothing to mark the event,
but a charred plank and the ashes
OF iAtense ardor, mingled with those
of the poisonous cigarette, by every
window and doorstep.
We trust that similar occurrence
will never shake our quiet city to
its centre, and that the railroad, so
soon to pass into other hands, will
henceforth be forbidden to pass be-
meath the hallowed the old Mariet-
ia bridge, but will be obliged to
make detour on either side in APP

If it is the laws. please let us know
what laws.
And this reminds me of what
have jast read in The Andover Review
for November. It is the organ OF
New England orthodoxy. 1t is now
lamenting the decay Of religious in
terest among the farming population
of the North. Dr. Dunning says that
there are ninety-fve towns in Maine
where no religious services are held,
and there are more country villages
in Illinois without the gospel, than in
any other State in the Union. Just
think of that! The great State of
Illinois that las two counties that
make more grain than all Geo. sia.
This great Stale that stands ff,h in
scale of education, and foc.iejh in the
grade Of Christian religion. What do
you say to this you advocates for ed
ucation? Education regardless Of
more1 training. DR.. Dunning says
that the P,esbyterians have 1900
churches withoat pasto,s, and the
Baptists have over 10000! Nearly
ali of these vacant churches are in
country towns where farming is the
principal occupation of tle people.
They once had pastors or religious
services, but not now. The number
of educated men in the Northern pull
pits is steadily decreasing and the
young men who are graduating in the
theological seninaries are seeking
ether callings because there are no In
vitiog fields for them to work in. The
city churches are fuH, and the country
churches will not pay enough to keep
body and soul together.
The fact is that farmers whose
homes are under mortgage don't lake
much stock in preachers and preach
ing. Nothing bows man down like

.perity and the morality of commu-
nifty is the standing of their preachers,
Ethe people are doing well they have
got preachers, and they pay them,
and they fix up their churches and
take a pride in them. Poor people,
poor pay; poor pay, poor preach, and
hence the young men who want to
preach are discouraged.
But, thank. the good Lord for his
mercies, this is not the case at the
South. Our small towns are general
ly supplied. You can hardly find
one that does not have preaching III
some church every Sabbath, and Sun
.day-schools are almost universal. Go
to Pine Log, or Euharlee, or old Cass-
vile, iu our county, if you want to see
Sunday-schools. These are all coun-
try settlements, and some one of them
always takes the banner at our union
celebration. On the whole, it does
look like our people are prospering
and our Sunny South is looming up.
So mote it be. Bill ARP.
