We never yet exchanged aword, Yet desr to me his aceents sweet I am a woman, he a bird. And here we twain in exile dweilh Far from our native woods and skies, And dewy lawns with healthful smell. Where daisies lift their laughing eyes. Never again from moss-builtnest Shall the caged woodlark blithely soar Never again the heath be pressed By foot of mine forever more! Yet from, that feathered, quivering throat, A blessing wins across to me; No thral can hold that mellow note, Or quench its flame in slavery. My chains fall off, the prison gates F1t.open,as with magic key; And far from life's perplexing straits, My spirit wanders swift and free. Back to the heather breathing deep, The fragance of the mountain breese, I bear the wind's melodious sweep Through tossing boughs of ancient trees Beneath a porch where roses climb I stand as I was used stand, Where cattle-bells with drowsy chime Make a:asic In the quiet land. When morning dawns in holy calm, And each true heart to worship calls. Mine is the prayer, but his the psalm, That floats about our prison walls. And as behind the thwarting wires The captive creature throbs and sings, With him my mounting soul aspires On -music's strong and cleaving wings. Fast fades thedream is distsa dim, Tears rouse me with a sadden shC; Lo at my door, erect and trim. aThe postman gives his double knock. And a great city's lumbering noise Arises with confusing hum. And wbisting shrill of butchers' boys; My d*y begins, my bird is dumb. y:NIrS DISAPNTENT. it was a rainy dismal autuni day, the big country house wherc Jennie lived with her parent seemed so unusually quiet, that < youag lady (who was Jennzie' cousin, and was staying there of a visit) looked up from her worl --she was at work with Jennie' mamma in the drawing-room an< said: 'What can have become of Jen sis? I have not heard her laugi once all this morning.' The mamma said rather sorrow fully that it was one of Jennie' 'bad. days.' She was a dear goot ehild, but a little impetuous an< unreasonable. Her papa bat promised to take her for a driv that morning, as he was oblige< to go to a neighboring town of businesa'. '.But of course it was impossibl to take the cbild in tbe pofrin. rAin,' she added, 'only Jenni -cannot see the matter in thi ight, and feels deeply injured.' I will go and find her,' said th soft featured lady, who looke contented and bappy, althougl certain people had already some times called her 'an old maid.' And she hunted the housi * through, visiting all Jennie's par ticular haunts, but there was ni Jennie. At last she came upon her crouched upon a window-seat il one of the corridors looking mis erable and defiant, her lips pout ing, her eyes swollen and red. * At first she would not speak. But at last the coaxing maxne and soothing voice of her goot friend melted her somewhat. She detailed her injuries. 'They delight in promising i things and disappointing me a the last moment. As for papa, h. is cruel.' 'I cannot bear to bear you sa; that, child.' JTennie's consin seemed tran: formed. She looked almost ai gry.. Jennie felt a little ashamed. 'Why not?' she asked. 'Because I once said the sam thing, and was so bitterly pui ished for it,' was the reply. 'Tell me,' asked Jennie, sul dued. 'I did not mean anythin wrong.' 'That is a poor excuse for ya hasty words, Jennie. However, won't preach. My little story wi sado that.' ~ Then she began : 'When T was a little girl lik you Jennie, I bad a very dear father. He was a clergyman, and though my love for him did not keep me from being troublesome and disobedient to him, I thought I loved him very dearly indeed. 'My mother bad died when I was a baby, but I bad a middle aged governess, w bo was good to me, in her prim, dry way. 'I had birds, two dog -a pony, and a most beautiful cst. Chil dren in the neighborhopd were often invited to speiid: f. day, and were often allowed to ioam about the gardens and g oinds as e pleased. Then I wetixo. pend the day with them. 'I had - some cousins, biggirls, and when I was -but a-Iittl6ider than you, a grand - party was given in honor of the twenty-first birthday of the eldest one. The latter wrote to my father, and begged that I might be .llowed to come, and be consented. These cousins were rich and had a big house in the city. 'I was of course very anxious to go and made great preparations but the day before the one fixed for our departure, I fell violently sick of a cold. -Ne;t day I got up a trifie gid dy and very bparse, but deter mined to persuade them All L was quite well. I talked and laughed and made a great show of being very hungry at dinner time. But 1 4i4 not like the grave look on my father'e fLse, Surely he could not be thinking of forbjdding my going to the party ! He would not be so cruel i .But mry misgiving proved true. He said that on account of my illness I could not go. 'You are cruel !' I said,,spring ing away from him and rushing away. 'And stubborn and angry, I went to bed, refusing to speak when I was spoicnn Lq. And next morning I got up late. I bear4 my father calling me from below, and wheels on the drive told me the carriage was coming to take him to the station. Then, as I failed to-appear, he came up sta.irs, and knocked at my door. 'I mtde no reply. Miss Jones, coming into my room at the mo ment, said in a low voice, 'Mary, you ought to be ashamed of your self,' then opened the door and said I was dressin'g and would not be long. I heard him take out his watch, and say in a disap pointed tone that ho could not wait ; then he said, '(Good bye, darling, God bless and keep you, I Sshall soon be back,' so toepderly and sadly, that for the moment Bmy hardness melted-I longed to Sthrow myself in his arms.' 'But he was gone. I saw the carriage drive out of tbe gate and disappear where the road turns; Stben a dreadful sense of desola tion came over me, that I never had, either before or since.' 'The morning seemed as it it would never pass. There were to Sbe no lessons. After dawdling about I 'went to the window which Soverlooked the road, and the drive to the front door.' ''Whatever can these men be doing ?' I thought, as four or five men I knew by sight came in at the gate, slowly, each one seem ing to talk without listening to the others.' r'I felt something was wrong. I watched the men till they disap pared behind the bushes; they were going round to the back edoor ;thenlI listened and asited.' 'Suddenly I beard a scream my heart seemed to stop-then some one rushed in.' 'It was the housemaid looking so white and scared.' ''Don't you go down, -Miss Mary,' she said, 'it's only some body got a fit or something,' but she shivered and wrung her ehands.' 'I made one spring and darted down-stairs. But nurse caught Sand drew me aside, I don't know gwhy, but I felt I had lost my father.' -r 'There had been a serious acci dent to the train by which he was 1traveling. The car he was in bad been overturned, and a fellow passenger who knew him saw ruins lifeless, and had brought the ir terrible news back with him. I ei lay like one half dead too on Miss Y Jones's be.l, listening to The cruel g tale, and half hoping it was a p cruel dream, a nightmare from B which I should awake.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. c~ Wreoking of a Passenger Train Near Long P Eranoh-Tne Rinled and Wounded- p Gen. Grant on the Train. LONG BaANcH, June 29.-Thed express train, which left Long Branch at five minutes past eightn tbis morning, met with a terrible accident while crossing the bridge over the branch of Shrewsbury river, near .Little Silver Station. b The accident was no doubt caused p by the spreading of the rails; sixe cars, including four ordinary pas senger coaches, smoking car and Pullman parlor 'Zenobia,' left the rails and ran over the ties of the bridge tearing thenm to splin. ters. The cars kept on the0 bridge until the train was half way across when four passenger e coaches and the smoking car went over into the water with a terri- c ble crash. The cars lauded on their sides in about four feet of 0 water. The scene that followed " beggared description. An un known man from Ocean Beach was taken out dead. The cars were filled with passengers, but the number of injured is unknown. There were about one hundred1 hurt. Mr. Demnarest, of the firm of D'marest & Co., New York, was badly injured and will die.

One of the the ficulties of his case is an oc-be ~sional aversion to taking any of iod at all, deglutition giving him by sin. He does not read the pa. in ers much but takes a vivid in- lan grest in current affairs) and kes to hear them discussed. He w oes not talk much and what he pre iys is frequently indistinct. His nat iouth is filled with absorbent dif >tton, which adds to the indis-an netness. After be has been talk- m ig for a sentence or two he can'e e understood perfectly and some eve hrases he speaks as well as he p ver did. For example he said to ie, 'Perhaps it is better as it is,' !ith every letter and accent per- to ict.

As the prisoner is in _jaIl awaiting trial little can be said about the merits or demerits of the ease. There is one fact, however, that is : too terrible to be suppressed, and thsti is the death of the entire family of the Snells. Shortly after the murder Me-r Lucy Ann Staniford, mother ofLky Snell, became excited over the murde and grew ill. Within a short time e died. Then Robert Snell becameW'_ from what is supposed to be the sas; cause, and after a lingering siakuess during which time he talked eon stantly of the family trouble, he passed away, soon followed by his little - six-months old baby. John Ssn1 another brother, succumbed to the strain of family excitement, and af ;' a short illness died. Within the Jsat three days a telegram was received in this city by Mr.Shackleford announcing the death of Miss Nettie Snel, be last but one of the family of ope blood. It was ascertained yesterdy afternoon that a little seven-year-old Z half brother of Clay Snell, Thomas Staniford, is not expected. to *.Iiv Clay Snell, who is the only surivor = of this unfortunate family is-nowia - jail at Platte City awaiting trial for the murder of Andrews. He takes the death of the various membere, his family much to heart. Wheahir mother was buried it is said that he begged permission to attend the:fa neral, saying, 'Send a hundred e: to guard me; cover me with;ohaie, double looked, .bat for God's sake let; me see the last of my poor old ther !' He was not permitted to go. A little boy, who was acoustom$ to say grace in the abene. of his father, had a younger brother who found it hard to wait until grace was over without helping himself to some of the good things near. On oneco casion, when company was present, the young master of the ceremoies observed the small boy helping him. self liberally to cake before the blessiog was asked, so he deliberately said: .'or what we are about to receive, and for what Charlie has already helped him. self to, the Lord make us truly thank ful. Amen.' The young man who hammers his thumb nail this spring while putting down carpets, or who is violently caught under the chin by a clothes line when he goes out in the yard ' after dusk; should remembet that in - ,the revised edition of the New Tests ment the words have been changedto ~ 'hiades' and 'condemnation.' Some people are too smart. A man saw a pocketbook lying on the pave ment, and was about to pick it up, when ~ he remmebered what he read about - 'tricks on travellers' and let it~ alone. A - man be'aind him picked it up. 'Got fooled, 'hey ?' chuckled the first man. 'No,' said the second, 'got ten dollars!' The worth of a stage, in the loag run, is the worth of the individuals ' composing it. To know how to serve is to have learned one of the lessons of divine wisdom. The wise man knows the fool, but the fool knows not the ws man.____ Power, like thbe diamond, dan zles'the beholder; and also the wearer.
