 The horses were standiag ia bunch e curve and could not have been seen till within 75 yards. Evidently the engineer caught the first glimpse as lie rounded the curve and. realizing that he could not stop, pulled the throttle wide open. Four horses were thrown clear of the rails, but the fifth went under the wheels. and the engine turned clear over, with its nose in the opposite direction from that in which it was travelling, and the baggage ear, smoker and chair car were piled ola top Of the engine, while the sleeper remained on the track.
 Jack Meaders, the Atehison grocery salesman, was seated in the middle of the smoker Whom the car fell against the engine. his leg was caught and mashed by q heavy timber. The steam from the engine cooked his flesh. As quickly as possible the injured were brought to Hiawatha and everything possible done to relieve the suffering. Meadess fingered in agony till nine o'clock this morning. Engineer Nye was one os the oldest engineers in the Missouri Pacific service having heen on tbe road for II years.

The 10y of Believing.

Christians are but seldom Confron
ted nowadays with the charge hat re
ligion produces a gloom IN their lives,
driving the cheerfulness and happiness
away. That fiction has been discarded
and the ioyfui side of religion is more
and more acknowledged. Giving vent
to this feeling, a contemporary re,
marks thus of the religion that sings:
christianity is the religion that
sings itself. Atheism has no songs !;
agnosticism is not tuneful. We have
never heard Of a Brahmanic hymnel
or a Confucian psalmody. The meters
of heathendom or savagery, so far as
paganism is vocal at all, are not once
to be compared with the lively hearth
ness, with the ~freeness, fullness, and
death Of Christian song. There is a
s~pontaneity and an abandon to the
songs OF Christians that ia sadly lack
ing in all the musical exercises of pa
ganism. The believer in Jusus explains
his own s~ongfulness in the conclusive
question: How can l keep from sing,
ingY" Christianity is not only a reli-
gion that sings, but also it is the religion
that sings. The Christian sings because
he has something to sing about. The
believers face is aglow with joy and
his speech invariably Plickens into
| cong. When Jesus Christ put Himself
] into the world He put song into the
world. In saving men, H9 saved their
music also. And so ever and every
where the religion of Christ has the
light of hope, Of brave joy, or CHEEKY
brightness. Christian faith elevates
| song while it quickens it. II inspires
a poetry which is peerless. Atheism is
dumb, but there is music to Christi
anity. Skepticism is not singable, but
| Christ to day is leading the grandest
| chorus of the world. English litera
ture rs already full of the lyrics Of the
Christ, while the poets are still search
ing for new tribes to bI ing to His name
The sublimest oratorios have had in
SEPARATION from the Nazarene. Chris
tisnity is a religion that can sing, and
does sing Presbyterian Review.

MethuseIah
BY R s~IGOUNNEY.

BY R s~IGoUNNEY.
And all the days of Methuselah were nine
hundred sixty and nine years: AID he died.
GEN. xvii.
And was this all9 He died! He who
did wait
The slow unfolding Of centurial years.
And shake that burden from his heart,
which turns
Oar temples white, and in his fresh
ness stand
Till cedars moulder'd and firm rocks
turn'd grey
Lef5 he no trace upon the page inspired,
Save this one line-he died2
Perchance he stood
Till all who in his early shadow rose,
Faded away, and he was left alone,
A sad, long living, weary hearted man.
To fear that Death, remembering all
beside,
Had sure forgotten him.
Perchance he roved
Exulting DER the ever verdant wales.
While Asia's sun burn'd fervid on his
brow,
Or meath some waving palm-tree sat
him down,
And in his mantling bosom nursed the
pride
That mocks the pale destroyer, and
doth think
To live for ever.
What mai sstic plans,
What mighty Babels, what sublime
resolves.
Might in that time detying bosom
spring,
Mature, and ripen, and cast eff their
fruits!
For younger generations of bold
thought
To wear the heaviest diadem, while
we,
In the poor hour glass of our seventy
years,
Scarce Q the buds OF some few plants
Of hope,
Ere we are laid beside them, dust to
dust.
Yet whatsoever his lot, in that dim age
OF mystery, when the u~nwrinkled
world had drunk
No deluge-cup of bitterness, whate'er
Were earth's decisions to his dazzled
Death found him out at last, and coldly
wrote,
With icy pen, onlife's protracted scroll,
Naugh but this brief unh4ttering line
he died!
Ye gay flower gatherers on Times
crumOling brink,
This shall be said Of you, howe'er ye
VaunG
Your long to morrows in an endless
line,
Howe'er amid the gardens of your JOY
Ye hide yourselves, and bid the pale
King pass:
This shall be said of you at last-he
died!
Oh ada one sentence more-he HUed to
God!
