Take care of them. Don't let them stir
without watching. They may do some
thing wrong if you do. To be sure you
never knew them to do anything very bad
but it may be on your account they have
not Perhaps if it had not been for your
kind care, they might have disgraced
themselves and families, long time ago
Therefore don't relax any effort to keep
them where they ought to be; never mind
your own business that will take care of
itself. There is man passing along-he
is looking over the fence-be suspicious Of
him, perhaps he contemplates stealing
something some of these dark nights !;
there's no knowing what queer fancies he
may have got into his head If you see
any symptoms of any one passing out of
the path of duty, tell every one else that
you can see, and be particular to see a
great many. 1t is good way to circulate
such things, and though it may not benefit
yourself, or any one else particularly, it
will be something important about some
one else.


Do keep something going-silence is
dreadful thing; though it is said there
was silence in Heaven for the space Of
half an hour, don't let any such thing oc-
cur on earth it would be too much like
Heaven for the inhabitants Of the mum
dane sphere. If, after all your watchful
care, you can't see anything out of the
way in any one, you may be sure it is not
because they have not done anything bad !:
perhaps, in an unguarded moment, you
lost sight of them-throw out hints, they
are no better than they should be--that
you should not wonder if people found out
what they were after, after awhile, and
then they may not carry their heads so
high. Keep it agoing, and some one will
take the hint and begin to hel you after
awhile-then there will be music, and ev-
srything will work to charm.

A CowHiDING IN NFw YoRK-About four

Forty-frst precinct, had his attention attracted
to crowd on the corner Of Washington street

furiously with cowhide The officer of course,
took both parties into custody, when the young

HoRR1BLE AcciDEST.--A fatal accident of a
singular nature occurred at the north shaft of
the Hoosick tunnel on Saturday: The " bell !"
man, who stands at the bottom of the shaft, and
gives the signal for the platform to rise, was
standing in his position almost directly under
the platform, which was at that time at the
mouth of the shaft, when a number of drills
were thrown upon the platform to be taken
down for use. One of these, about five feet in
length. rolled off the platform, and falling a
distance of three hundred and seventy feet, its
sharp end struck the "bell man" in the side,
and the instrument passed entirely through his
body, and then some distance into heavy
plank, completely impalling the unfortunate
man. The plank had to be split with an axe
before the drill could be loosened. The injured
man lived about twen.y-four hours after the
occurrence.

Several physicians examined the body and pro-

her teeth, and there seemed no possible doubt
that the dose had been a fatal one. She was
buried A few days since her relatives, being
about to remove to another State, desired TO
take the remains with them. They opened the
coffin and were horror-stricken to find the
corpse turned over, both hands full of hair and
the clothing torn to shreds. Chloroform had
placed her in deep trance, from which she
