TIE RUBY HILL PICNIC.
An Accident with q Godsend-
Somewhat Disseminating. HUT
Did Nos Bar All EBIoymenf

Last Saturday the Young Peoples
League held a picnic at the Willows.
above the Italian ranches, and early
in the morning some co or 20 people,
happy in the expectation Of a days
social pleasure in the country, passed
through town in vehicles and on horse
back on their way to the grounds. Up
wards Of so Of them, mostly children,
rode on Jack Venton's big wagons,
which were fitted up and gaily deco
rated for the occasion. But an accident
occurred which, while unfortunate in
itself, was an actual godsend, mas
much that nothing worse happened
than we here record, At a point about
a mile above Depaoli's ranch, where
the road is narrow, slanting and makes
a short curve, the ground is soft on the
lower side and gave away. The
wagons tipped over and landed the
occupants in a heap in the creek and
along forty feet Of the banks, a trife
wet and mud-stained and greatly
frightened and DISCONNECTED. II was
a very lucky yet strange thing, that
the stout stakes which were fitted on
each side Of the wagons, held them
u%pturned and stationary with the
wheels spinning in the air there they
stood in tine bed Of the creek as II on
stills, while the late occupants crawled
out from the dangerous situation under
them. either bruised, scratched or
shaken up and all frightened nearly to
death. IL was fortunate indeed that
no one was killed; that was in fact
the "godsend." Little Glare Ire
coming, an Swear old child, got
much the worst of the accident; she
struck the ground heavily and was an
under one Of the heap; her right eye
and upper lip were badly cut and her
face so much bruised and disfgured as
10 make ID difficult for her nearest
friends to recognize her. Two children
OF Thomas Rosevear were hurt-Leon-
ard with O twisted ankle and May
with q cut across her nose, barely
missing her eyes. Others were either
bruised or scratched. Mothers tainted
at the sight of blood, and strong men
stood aghast when death to their friends
seemed inevitable.
As Don as the wagons were replaced
in the road and the party restored to
equanimity, all hurried to the picnic
ground, tried TO forget the accident
and devoted themselves to the %festivi-
ties OF the day, but with somwhat
spirits it is true. The Band
was there and discoursed delightful
music. There were loads OF refresh
ments and delicacies to satisfy
healthful appetites, and all made the
best of it. At the close Of the day the
smiling faces and melodious voices of
the party as they again passed through
town, on their return to Ruby Hill,
indicated that. in spite Of the upset,
they had spent an invigorating and
pleasant days outing.

Alas! my little boy with dancing feet
Will nevermore come flying down the

How long the day! How cruel long the day

The while l watched him in his happy play,
And smiled to hear his childish carol ring.
Dead silence now; dead silence every

His tattered cap, o ball, a cherished game.
Icaught them to my heart. and DER and DER,
With broken sobs, l called my darling

CHEAP HOMEMADE GREENHOUSE.

structed as it might be. For people
who cannot do better, and must avoid
every expense possible, especially also
that involved by the plan of hot water
heating, I think l can recommend the
house here illustrated (cut made after
an illustration appearing in Canadian
Horticulturist.) Any person handy
with tools could put up the frame work.
The material is almost wholly scant-
ling, 2 by 4 inches, and cheap boards.
The building should be double boarded,
with paper between the two walls. Or
binary hot-bed sash can serve for the
roof, and the side windows may also be
bought ready made in any sash and
blind factory. The heating may be
done by a simple iue, the fireplace (for
coal or wood, being in the northwest
corner, and the chimney in the east end.
Our Canadian friend, who furnished
the idea, uses a house of this kind as a
sle~eping-room at night, and a sitting
and working room by day. The posts
or studding along the front side are 9
by 4 inches, 6 feet high, and set just far
enough apart to allow the windows to
come between, SO no window castings
are used. The house is 10 feet wide.
and heated with a 2h foot box stove
that takes in very coarse wood. The
stove pipe runs along the back or north
side of the building, behind the staging
that is under the roof windows.-Amer-

crude rhymes which he kept out OF
later editions of his poems-just as
Whittier rejected his own early verses.
Lowell was barely twenty-five when his
book appeared, but there was more than
one poem in it which gave high promise
of his future. In addition to his ability
he had a deep love for letters, and this
it was which led him, a year later, to
start a monthly magazine. But the
magazine soon came to an end, leaving
its proprietors in debt.
Until he met Miss White, Lowell's
interests were almost wholly literary.
Under her influence he came to have a
strong sympathy for the slaves. He
swiftly saw that in real life there were
causes to be fought far better worth
the struggle than any mere craving for
personal fame. His love for letters
never lessened, but it was linked there
after to the love of human freedom.
He was married at last in 1874, in
whics year he brought out a revised
edition Of his poems. A few months
later he gathered from the magazines
certain prose criticisms, chiefly about
the older English poets = criticisms
which he thought SO lightly of in later
years that he did not allow them to be
included in his collected works. And
about this time he was 3 frequent con-
tributor to the Philadelphia Freeman,

tied by Whittier. -Brander Matthews
