A Good Arbitrator.

A man in South Africa left his
property to be equally divided be-
twe- IL two sons. Not beng able to
agree, they decided to let President
Kruger arbitrate. He said to the
eldest: You are the eldest; are you
not7' eyes," was the answer so
you shall divide the property" This
pleased the elder immensely. ''You
are the younger" continued Kruger
to the other, 80 you shall have
first choice"

Where ere il be the night
The darkening shadows fall upon the earth
When night come we go and pray,
And when death comes we fly above
To live with Jesus and his love.
And Jesus watches through the night,
And We can see the heavenly light;
And when we live with Him above
We will have His heavenly love.
We can meet our loved ones there,
Aud with them the glory share.
We can do right il we try.
We can do right in Jesus sight.
We can have golden crown
If we will do Gods command.

One of the most disastrous acct
dents in the history of the Hudson
River railroad was that which occur
red at Garrison's, n. Y, opposite
West Point last Sunday morning.
The State express going south was
plunged into the river. The engine
and tender with two cars and three
sleepers went down in sixty feet of
water. In all, twenty lives were
lost. Three other sleepers would have
gone over had not a coupling pin
broken. The cause of the accident is
supposed to have been weak spot
in the road bed. The disaster shows
that it is impossible to prevent acct
dents even on the New York Central
and Hudson River railroad, which is
one OF the best regulated roads in the
world. The calamity occurred on
one of the tirmest sections of a rail.
road, which along the mountain bank
of the Hudson is almost as solid as il
the rails were laid on a shelf cut in
the face of the hills and based at the
very mountain roots. But below the
range of the most vigilant inspection
there had been some burrOwing OF
decay, and at the fatal moment the
heavy train pressed down the super
structure and dug its own path tC
ruin.
