Danger in the Third Rail.

One day recently, says the Hartford
(Conn.) Courant, an italian section
man, employed on the Berlin electric
branch track, happened to hit the third
rail with his iron bar, and as result
of tie electric shock he was thrown q
distance of seYe1a! feet and rendered
unconscious. His fellow-workmen
hurried to his side, lifted him up, and
took him to his boarding house. It was
several hours before he regained con-
seriousness. He has not been able to
resume work, complaining Of severe
pains through his hips and back. The
bar which he was carrying and which
came in contact with the electric rail
retained perpendicular position, and
for time no one dared touch it. FL
nally one Of the men, who had rubber
cloves on, removed it.

Character Un,nistakable and Eternal.

the truth, and all nature and all spirits

stir and move to bear you witness.
See, again, the perfection Of the law
as it applies itself to the affections and
becomes the law Of society. AS we
are, so do we associate. The good,
by affinity, seek the good; the vile,
by affinity, the vile. Thus, Of their
volition, souls proceed into heaven
into hell. These facts have always
suggested to man the sublime creed
that the world is not the product Of
manifold power, but Of one will, Of
one mind; and that one mind is every
where, in each ray Of the star, in eact
wavelet Of the pool, active; and what
ever opposes that will is everywhere
baked and baf1ed because things art
made so and not otherwise.-R. W

In the years 1889 and 1892 a society
in Portland, Oregon, introduced four
hundred pairs Of song birds from Ger
many into the state, at an expense OF
little more than $4,000. Of these the
plain and black headed nightingales
have probably become extinct, because
few of them survived the long trip,
and none have since been seen, but
the other species have multiplied with
great rapidity, especially the skylarks,
which rear from two to four broods
every year, so tina the whole William
cite valley, from Portland to Rose
burg, is full Of them. Besides these,
there ore black starlings, wood larks,
song thrushes, black thrushes, gold
fnches, chaffinches, ziskins, green
fnches, bullfnches, crossbeaks, robin
>edbreasts, linnets, singing quails,
goldhammers and forest fnches.
When it is remembered that the in
sects and fungus diseases most danger
GUS to our vegetation are those which
have been imported into this country
from abroad, and that animals and
birds which are held in check by some
balance of forces in their native land
often become nuisances in foreign
country, just as rabbits have been in
Australia and the English sparrow in
this country, it is possible that some
of these songsters may prove injurious
to crops. The chances are, however,
that they will do more to h. Up the
farmers by keeping insects in check
than they will to injure him.

COMMON SENSE.

OF all the gifts this side of heaven
That ever we're to mortals given,
The hest to have. the worst to miss,
rhe truest. sweetest source OF bliss
The one rail left Of Edens fence
stands the pure charm OF common sense.
To earn our right to "daily bread"
To not regret when time Is nea,.
To wisely speak and act and think,
TO keen lifa's boat from ruins Drink,
TO balance every hours expense
We need the aid of common sense.
Sometimes. no doubt, we need to view,
The lightning bolts some genius threw;
Rut now we need. well mixed and stirred,
With silent thought or spoken word,-
A sort Of human FOOLS defense
The wholesome aid OF common sense.
Some things, perhaps, must still be taught
Where mighty minds their power III
wrought; 49,,
But how to guard the priceless wealth
OF peace and love, of youthful health,
And how to keep our own few pence,
Is taught alone by common sense.
We pray for faith and light, and peace
For SINS remove, and loves Increase,
For strength to meet the tempter's power
For dying race, for dying hour
But now, right in the present tense,
Give us, OLord! good common sense.
To keep from useless jar and strife,
And bless the changing path OF life
TO make each fountain purer still,
To take from loss it's fatal chill,
And bring thy own sweet recompense,
| We bow to thee, blest common sense.
