A TERRIBLE FALL,

At 4 o'clock Monday afternoon
Andrew Butts. residing at Wiggins'
Patch, near Mahanoy City, started
out with his two children, boy and.
girl aged respectively I and years,
for walk, the children had hold of
his hands. He took only five steps
from his back door when the earth
opened, and he dropped out Of sight
into the old Bear Run Colliery.
The cave-in was a clear cut hole
not more than three feet in diameter
Butts had presence of mind enough
when found himself sinking to let
go of the childrens hands. The
little ones were left behind standing
on opposite sides of the hole.
Had the hole been foot wider
both children would have gone
down also. When the children re-
covered from their fright they scream
ed for help. Their mother came TO
the scene, and seeing what had oc-
Cured, she ran through the village
giving the alarm. A crowd soon
collected. The cave-in was sounded
and found to be thirty y-eight feet
deep.
Butts could not be seen, but his
groans were distinctly heard, and
proved that he was still alive. A
rope was procured and let down,
and in few minutes they heard a
feeble voice calling on them to
"hoist.n In a few minutes Butts
was landed on the surface. He was
found to be badly bruised and hurt
internally, and it is feared he cannot
recover.

There is one brotherhood that
never strikes. This is the grand
brotherhood of tramps, who always
remain faithful to the cardinal princi-
pies OF their profession. To a pro-
fessional tramp TO strike means to
work, and he would rather die than
do this.

The Journey.

At night, when myrtle bells a.swing
Fill the bare places round the spring
With ghostiy whispers, and the moon
Makes Midnight like ghostly noon,
When even filter mice are still;
Then little folk troop down the hill
Into the garden poets keep
Hard by the pleasant town of Sleep.
Their torches flare; their dance is set
Between five stalks of mignoncttc.
Then armed gailants click the heel
And bow to danes who wait the reel.
Such danes! There has not been such grace
Since I'll the wood-nymphs left the place:
They courtesy, pause, and circl" round
Upon the sward, yet make no sound.
Long since quite forgot to dance,
1 have need for sword or lance,
But | would follow close at hand
When they set ont for Fairyand.
No doubt it is Il tiresome flight:
The path run up, there is no light,
And on sheer heights one hears the beat
OF water far beneath his feet.
And in still valleys, dark and dim,
He hears his own voice calling him;
While his own shadow is a fame
That passes back the road he came.
Once there, I'm sure I'd find good cheer
Indeed, L might remain year.
And hapy l might learn to know
If some strange things we hear are so.
I'd like to know if it be true
Of Cinderellas coach and shoe;
Ifsly Queen Nab yet mends her ways;
And where the fair Kilmeny Strays.
I'd sit with Merlin in his ring,
And listen TO the talking spring;
Or hear the magic-throated bird
Sing round the pool that Kenyon stirred.
l have not seen them yet,-havc your
But some night, through the falling dew,
Wen leave the pleasant town of Sleep
And deity on the dancers creep.

The Other Side.

We go ways in life too much alone,
We hold ourselves too far from all our kind;
Too often are deaf to sigh and moan;
Too often to the weak and helpless blind;
Too often where distress and want abide,
We turn and Pass upon the other side!
The other side is trodden smooth AMI worn
BY footsteps passing idly all the day;
Where lie the bruised ones, the faint and torn,
Is seldom more than AN untroddcn way;
Our selfish hearts are for our feet the guide,
They lead us by upon the other side!
1t should be ours the oil and wine to pour
Into the bleeding wounds ofstricken ones;
To tax" the smitten, and the sick and sore,
And bear them where stream of blessing runs
Instead we look about-the way is wide
And so we pass by on the other side!
Friends and brothers, hast'ning down the years,
Humanity is calling each and all
In tender accents, born oil pain and tears!
pray you listen to the thrilling call!
You cannot, in your selishness and pride,
Pass guiltless by upon the other side!
