A GRAND CHARITY.

''The merciful man regardesh the life
Of his beast" is the motto of the Penn
sylvanis Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals. This society Is
one of the most humane of all institu-
tions, and receives the deserved support
of the best citizens OF every community
in which it is actively organic I'd. In
the city OF Philadelphia il is power FOR
tremendous good, and where there Sas
formerly an immense amount of unpecs.
sary hardships and cruelty pus upon
horses and other beasts of burden there
is now comp ara,ively very little cause
OF complaint. One OF the life MON bers
OF tho society is the wsll known mana
ger of the Adam FOrep.ugh Shows, Mr.
j. L. McCaddon. Anyone seeing the
splendid condition of the superb horses
with those shows can see at once that
they are given the kind care and keep
ing that caused the society to confer the
great no. or of life mem bership upon
him. OF nearly 500 horses with the
shows there is not one that is not q
perfect picture of health and splendid
specimen of mans best friend. Such
societies are q blessing to any commu-
nifty and should be established every
Whpr0.

Just as people do with age,
And the sun makes red and yellow
Pictures on the azure page,
Then wo say farewell" to daytime.
Then wo Danish books and sums,
Then the city takes its playtine,
Then the organ grinder comes.
How tho heart goes lightly Ginning
To tho melody that springs
From some simple poets rhyming
Pulsing through the vibrant stringsl
Children flock with faces bcalning,
Old age, too. the music HUNS
All is youth in fact or seeming
Whom tho organ grinder comes.
And tho dancers, 1.-the and merry,
Trooping, haste like horllcs Of elves,
Weaving wobs that blend and vary,

Where no grief the spirit numbs,
And we find sparkling new life
When the organ cringcr comes.

Railroad Accident.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. l7.-Train
No. Is, the fast mail south bound Of
the Florida Central and Peninsular
road, was run into at 1870 O'Clock
this morning at Chester, S. c., by a
freight of the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern road. The Redmond and
Danville authorities here give out the
following as the true facts Of the
accident The two roads cross near
Chester. The fast mail, with mum.
Der of sleepers attached, stopped at
the crossing, as is required by rail.
road rules. The engineer in charge
of the freight train of the other road
appears not to have paid any atten.
ton to this rule. and ran down to the
crossing at the rate of tbirty.fve
miles an hour. He saw the fast mail,
but jumped from the engine and
allowed it to crash into the rear
sleeper of the main train. 1t is mar
vellous that anybody in the sleeper
escaped death. This sleeper was
smashed and the sleeper next to il
was thrown off the track. Nobody
was killed and it is not thought that
any of those injured are fatally hurt.

Preparing for the End.

The Adveutists at Battle Greek,
Mich, firmly believe that the last days
have come, and that in short time
this world will be no more They
believe that the prophecy is daily being
filed. A watch meeting was held
December 21st to raise money to edu-
cate the heather and convert the uu-
saved. Over three thousand people
attended the meeting. The elders
called upon those present to donate
what they could of their worldly goods
to assist in the conversion of the
unsaved. Seventy-uine gold watches
we're given, over hundred rings. aud
other jewelry. One man gave bis
house and lot valued at $4,000 In
all over $25,000 was raised for the
cause The elders have advised those
of the members that can to sell out and
20 into the world to preach the Ad-
ventist doctrine Some twenty of the
adherents of the faith have already sold
their homes at saacri6c and have left
for different parts of the country to

rheumatism, stiff limbs and the like,
is doing wonders in Greenville. He
is native of Jacksonville, Fla. He
advertises his medicine by erecting a
platform in public place and asking
the sick to come there to be healed
The first was a white boy who had
not walked for weeks. He rubbed
him for some time using several
bottles of medicine and the boy
walked from the platform. Last
Saturday man with paralyzed arm
which hung lifeless by his side was
enabled after ten minutes rubbing to
work his fingers and raise his arm.
A woman, who had neuralgia for Sc
years, was also apparently cured.
A little baby, 26 months old, had its
arm paralyzed all it's life. After a
little rubbing it was able to move it's
arm and use it's fingers. His cures
seem rather wonderful Carolina
