This is the story of a poor, little outcasi
dog who was picked up one cold winter day
by Harry, my little cripple brother. The
dog was covered with frozen blood; be
brought him home, washed and attended &c
his bruises and fed him. The dog was SC
grateful that he cared for no one but hi,
little lame master. He was only happy When
he heard his crutch on the stair
Now for the sad part of this story. After
we had had the dog about six months little
Harry died of spinal disease The body wa:
kept in the house, awaiting burial, thret
days. Poor little doggie knew his master was
silent, but he never left the spot he had
chosen, under the ice box, while the remains
were there.
When the funeral left the hoNse he whined
and cried and would not be comforted, but
in course Of time he recovered from his grief
One day little friend of Harry, who, by
the way, was also lame and walked on
clutches, came to call on us
The dog heard the crutches, and thought
it was his little master come back again.
The door opened TO admit him, and when
doggie saw his mistake be turned away as II
he could not survive th' disappointment, and
after few weeks we found him dead. He
had died of grief-New York Journal

A HAUNTED ROOM.

In the dim chamber whence but yesterday
Passed my beloSed, filed with awe stand;
And haunting Loves fiutteFing on every mana
Whisper her praises who 10 far away
A thousand deiicase chances dance and play
On every object which her robes have famed,
And tendesest thoughts and hopes bloom and
expand
In the sweet memory of her beauty's ray.
ALL could that glass but hold the faintest Raoe
OF all the loneliness once mirrored there,
The clustering glory of the shadowy hair
That framed so well the drear young angel face!
But no, it shows my own faca full OF care,
And my heart is her beautys dwelling place

lInnRoR ON A nAlI.l!nAn.

CINCINNATI. Jan. is disastrous

utes past o'clock Thursday night
within the limits OF the city. The
local accommodation on the Cincinnati
Hamilton & Day ton railroad left Winton

behind time about forty minutes.
After leaving Winton place the
railroad cuts through Spring tirove Gem
etery. The track here IL on sharp
curve, and the end of the accommoda-
ton train had not yet disappeared
around the curve when the express was
heard approaching, and ina minute more
it rushed past at a high rate of speed
A mile further on, and directly over
the tunnel that burrows beneath the
TRACKS connecting the two parts of the
cemetery, it crashed into the rear end
of the local train With such tremen-
dous power did the engine strike the
rear car that it plowed right under it
for half a cars length, eleyating the rear
portion OF the ear right into the engine.
Engineer Coadly reversed his lever and
jumped, but the speed of the train was
so great that it ran fully quarter Of a
mile before stopping. The stoves and
lamps in the local train were smashed
by the force of the collision and set fire
to the coaches In less than five min
utes they were wrapped in flames. There
were about fifty passengers on board, and
nearly all got out safely Five per-
sons, however, were caught and pinned
among the breaking timber and were
slowly roasted to death. The passen-
gers on the express and residents Of the
vicinity, together with the Cincinnati
fire and police departments, who were
quickly on the scene. could do nothing
for them. In quarter of an hour it
was all over. The killed are:

Metropolitan Life Insurance Company OF this
city; Louis r. kear, OF Wnton place, hard
ware merchant Of this city; Conductor t. w

local train; James Staley baggagemaster Of
Dayton; William Plannetts. OF Carthage, O., a
plumber
The latter two died after removal to
the city hospital. The legs and arms OF
both we're partly burned off. All were
bound by the broken timbers. and met
a slow and agonizing death by fire.
Their bodies were all recovered but
were hardly recognizable Engineer
