OBrien went down with the engine.
The former when he sawthat the bridge,

the engine and the first car broke the,
couplings and left the other two cars OF

second car ran about 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 passen-
gers were thrown into the water.

sons mad met their death. The top of
the passenger coach was cut open as.

OF the original edition of the sonnets
Of Shakespeare, published by George
Daniel, of London in 1909, there are but
two perfect copies known. One of these

AS the book is very small, only seven
by four inches, and weighing less than
ten ounces, it has been figured that at
that rate each ounce of the precious
volume brought $500, or many times its
own weight in gold. h~Fs

SOME SOLEMN THOUGHTS.

THE error of moment may be the
sorrow of a whole life.
ONLY a word; yet who can tell its
power for veal or woe.
OUR acts make or mar us; we are the
children of our own deeds. ...s.
THE saddest thing under the sky is .
soul incapable OF sadness.
NEVER think that you make yourself
great by making others less.
MANY OF our cares are but morbid
way of looking at our privileges.
A DEEP moral hurt leaves its traces
as surely as deep wound leaves scar.
Do NOT Judge man by his failure in
life, for many men are too honest to
succeed.
COOP fortune seldom comes pure and
single, unattended by some troublesome
or unexpected Circumstance.
FORTUNE turns faster than mill
wheel, and those who were yesterday at
top may find themselves at bottom to-
day.
1T is unlucky that experience, being
our best teacher, we have only learned
its lessons perfectly when we no longer
stand in need of them; and have pro-
vided ourselves .armor We can never
wear.
