EQUALIN THE GRAVE.

Croesus is dead; remove his robe
And strip him of his gold;
The Reaper grim has come for him,
His form is still and cold.
The crimson stream has ceased TO flow,
The naughty head is lying low,
He's done with worldly pomp and show,
Here rests his pulseiess mold.
Upon yon bier pauper lies,
His soul has taken flight;
His senseless clay wears no display
All, its a sorry sight.
His unsuccessful course is run,
With tribulation he is done,
His perfect rest is just begun
The rest of deaths long night.
Lay this one in his marble tomb
And yon one in the ground;
Ger this stately shaft upresr,
Ger that simple mound.
But which shall sleep the sweeter sleep
Which first shall break the silence deep?
All, they are equals in Deaths keep,
Till GabrielS trump shall sound.

Long Life.

Birds are, ordinarily, exceedingly long
lived The swan, it is ascertained by
means of questionable records. has been
known to exist over 800 years. A sea
eagle, captured in 1715, then already
several years of age, died 104 years after
ward, in 1919; and white headed vul-
ture, captured in 1905, died in 1925 in
one of the avaries of Schoenbrunn castle,
near Vienna, having passed lis years in
captivity Numerous ravens and paro-
quets have been known to live 100 and
over. As with most birds, magpies live
many years in state of freedom, but do
not reach over twenty or twenty five in
captivity. Gagged canary bird, live from
twelve to fifteen years; but those flying
at liberty, in their native land, reach a far
more advanced age. Our Dumb AninaSs.

ASGNALMAN'S BLUNDER:
Disastrous Wreck on Great English
Railway.
Ten Persens Were Killed and Eight
Injured THE Wreck a mass
of Flame.

By the negligence of q signal man, celli-
sion occurred at two o'clock the other morn
ing on the Great Western Railway at Norton
fitzwarren Station, near Taunton, between
goods train and special train from Plymouth
which was conveying the passengers from the
steamer Norham Castle, which had Just ar
rived at Plymouth from the Cape Of Good
Hope. Ten persons were killed and eight in
iured. The condition Of seveC ! Of the in
jured is serious. The signal man was arrested.
The two engines are beat aud twisted into all
kinds of shapes, aud the trucks near tho
goods tran are derailcd. The tender of tho
passenger engine is forced back through tho
carriage next TO which it was coupled. This
was the smoking carriage, and il is complete
wreck. The bodies Of the passengers were
jsmmed into the woodwork and the cries Of
the wounded were terrible and heartrend-
ing in the extreme. The hoi -or Of the situa-
ton was heightened by the fact that thesplinA
tered woodwork was ignited BY the FIRE from
the engine, and the whole carriage was soon
abiaze: Its six occupants persisted by being
burned to death.
Those passengers who escaped from the
wreck assisted in relieving the suherings Of
the victims whose cries aud means were dis
tressiag beyond measure. Some OF them In
their agony shrieked out The names Of their,
friends appealing to them for aid. One man
lay Tor long time calling for assistance. but
in spite Of all efforts he could not be reached.
The last words he was heard TO say were
Thank God"
The scene was terribly weird ~ the night
was very dark, aud the only light was that
furnished by the burning debris The place
where the accident occurred was visited by
thousands OF people, and the line Was not free
for traffic until noon. The engine driver aud
stoker Of the special train had a marvellous
escape. The former was thrown Of aud fell
long distance from the engine and the sto.
ker, who was on the tender, after the accident
happened, found himself in second-class
carriage, having been carried through into il
by the tender. He opened the door and got
out on the line.
Mr.. Charles Ulrich, one Of the survivors Of
the accident, who was coming to London from
the Cape states that he was in accompaniment
with six others. They we're all thrown into
heap. Mr. Ulrich and the others extricatcd
themselves, and saw the first carriage COM
pressed Ike conceriina, and not more than
eight feet % length. Inside among che
wreckage were FIVE men with their faces and
bodies close together, while cards were strewn
about. They had been sitting close together
playing cards ON a newspaper when they sud.
denly met their end
