Then came strange move. Ellen
laid her hand on Mixes Winchester.
He gave it to her. She took his re-

her his gun.
When her arms could hold no more,
the other weapons were given to little
Tom. The two brought them down into
the camp.
Ina few moments all the miners fled
out from behind their barricade, and
marched doggedly down the slope.

WISE WORDS.

There is no bitterness like self-re-
proach.
Time, which deadens hatred, secretly
Strengthens love.
Pride requires very costly f5od-its
leeper's happiness.
It is better to hold back truth than
20 speak it ungraciously.
The less people know Of subject or
an object the more they are inclined to
talk.
People seldom improve when they have
no other model but themselves to copy
after.
He who has no inclination to learn
more will be very apt to think that he
knows enough.
1t remains to the lover and the ideal
st to transmute defects Of character and
Of person into qualities.
To study mankind Is not learning to
hate them, so far from malevolent end,
it is learning to bear and live easily with
them.
From a common custom Of swearing,
men easily slide into perjury; therefore,
if thou wouldn't be perjured, do not use
to swear.
The man who has not anything TO boast
Of but his illustrious ancestors is like
potato; the only good belonging to him
is under ground.
The golden beams of truth and the
silken cords of love, twisted together,
will draw men on with sweet violence,
whether they will or nos
The most valuable gift which can be
bestowed upon women is something to
do, which they can do well aud worthily,
and thereby maintain themselves.
An inward sincerity will, OF course,
influence the outward Department. but
where the one is wanting, there is great
reason to suspect the absence of the
other.
1t is often better to have great deal
of harm to happen to one than a little
a great deal may rouse you to remove
what little will OILY accustom you to
endure.
When child breaks her dearest toy,
and after period of mourning vainly
attemps to cement the broken pieces, it
is then that she IS for first time con-
fronted with the everlasting nay.
Sincerity is the perfect armor. 1t hath
neither cracks nor joints, is of light
weight, fine temper, and if rightly fash
ioned hath an air of modest bravery
which makes It the most gallant in the
F., field.

BOILED IN BURNING Oil.
Terrible Death of Two Men In a New
York OIL Refinery.

York OIL Refinery.
Through the bursting of crude oil pipe in
the works os the Tidewater Oil Company at
Constable Hook, two men were instantly
killed, three others were dangerously injured,
an oil still was totally wrecked, and several
hundred barrels Of oil were burned. The
still that exploded was cylinder with a
capacity of 500 barrels. 1t was in operation
ut the time the explosion took place, and was
full charged with oil in process of refining.
Beneath it burned fire of red hot Goals and
blazing liquifed coal oil pitch. The feed pipe
above the otili was conveying crude oil to adj
jlcent stills and was leaking trihe. The
hrst intiInati0n the victims had that any thing
was wrong was shower of oil that indicated
the bursting of the pipe at the connection.
Before they could escape the oil took FIRE.
The next instant the still exploded with a
detonaion thst demolished nearly all of the
windows in the neighborhood. Fragments Of
iron plates and pipes and pieces OF bricks were
hur cd in every direction, while the FIVE men
were flung headlong to the ground and enyel-
oped in blazing oil. The three who survived
were terribly burned. and one Of them, Gal
lagher, is not expected to recover.

AJoung knight made his bsttle-cry,-
'1'll fight the evil till der
And forth he rushed with needless might
To do his battle for the right
And recklessly he laid about
And ruthlessly, and felt no doubt,
But blindly struck whate'er he saw
That seemed to him to have flaw.
Atlengtb doubt came to his mind:
He raased, and turned, and looked behind
Alas! too late he understood
How deity mingles i'll with good.
With swimming eye with reeling brain,
He saw the good that he had slain.
Himself seemed evil to him now,
And then he thought upon his vow.
And, 10, the warrior lay at rest,
With his own dagger in his breast!

AN ENEMY OF COFFEE PLANTS

Will be Sought and Destroyed in the
Agricultural Department..
From the Washington Star.
Prof. Galloway, chief Of the division of
vegetable pathology In the department of
agriculture. expects shortly to receive from
India an assortment of coffee plants
affected by what is known In that country
as the coffee disease" This trouble causes
loss of $40, DOC, 600 yearly. The specimens
will be shipped in boxes WITH glass covers.
such as are expressly made for that pur-
pose, with provision for maintaining a con-
dition Of moisture inside
Upon receiving them Prof. Galloway will
set aside a ward for them in the hospital for
plants which he conducts. The first thing
necessary will be to find out precisely what
enemy is attacking the coffee plants and
causing their disease. To do this Prof. Gal
ioWay will take a scrap of one of the rotted
leaves and chop it up in a saucer of dis
titled water. Then he will take a drop of
the water which has thus become filled with
the germs of the complaint and will let IL
lall into tube containing small quantity
OF gelauine that has been steriliZed oy boil
Ing The germs will feed upon the gelatine
ana rapidly multiply, SO that he will have
quite good-sized patch of them within
twenty-four hours. Meanwhile he will
have grown in section by themselves a
number of healthy coffee plants, and these
ne will inoculate by rubbing upon their
leaves Ts some OF the germs thus rropagated.
IL thereupon the coffee disease IS repro
duced he will have discovered the foe
sought, and it will only remain to find out
Ine life history of the destroyer, with a
Vlew to learning what means had best be
taken Tor comb batting it.
