I'vg Boon Thinking. I've been thinking, I've been thinking What a glorious world were this, tMd fools mind their business more And mind tlu.fr neighbors Iosb; For instance, you and I, my friend, Are sadly prone to talk Of dinlters that'concern us no', And others' follies muck. J'vo been thinking, If we b -gin To tuend our own affairs, That possibly our neighbors might Contrive to manage theirs. We've faults enough at home to mend, It may be so of o'hers; It would scent st tauge if it were not, Since all mankind are brothel's. Oil! would that we had charity For every man and woman ! Forgiveness is the mark of those Who know 'po err ia human." Then let us banish jealousy? Let's lift our fallen brother; And uk Wo journey down life's road, Do go^d to one another. Yellow Fever Subscriptions. The New York Sun 1ms tabulated, so far as it was in possession of data, the subscriptions from all sources to the yellow fever fund. The figures are interesting as a proof of the ?i le spread sympathy felt for the South during its period of ullliction. We copy the Sun's statement, premising that it excludes all private and socie ty donations, of which there were many the public were never advised : New Yoik. $395.000 rhiladelhphia.132,000 Chicago.1)0,000 St. Louis.00,000 San Francisco.00,000 Boston.55.000 Baltimore.51,000 Louisville.12,000 Washington .30.000 Cincnnnati.35.000 Milwaukee.31,000 Pittsburg.20,000 Brooklyn.28.000 Detroit.24,000 Nashville.20,000 Savannah.20,000 Providence.15,000 Newark.M,000 Charleston.13,000 Mobile.12,000 Buffalo.0,500 Richmond.0,000 Hartford ... .0,000 Fall River.8,000 Little Rock . . . 7,000 Patterson, N.

Singular Accident. The Kansas Pacific Times records the following curious occurrence to a passenger train of the Kansas Pacific : The train was Hearing Topekn, and being a little late was making extra lime. Suddenly the engineer felt a j.tr and slacked up his engine slowly and finally slopped. On going back to 3ce what the trouble was, he was surprised to find the sleeper and one passenger conch close to the engine tender, and mail and baggage car to gether with the other coach missing. Search was at once made, and the missing part of the train was found a few hundred yards back. The pas senger coach had stayed in its ordina ry position running out oil the prairie a short way. The baggage tied mail cars were somewhat tumbled up, but no other particular damage done. No person was seriously hurt except the news agent, who h:ul his nose broken and face badly cut. On examination of the track, about nine feet of tail was missing, a short distance from where Haid ridge first fell the jar, and DO doubt this was done by the engine passing over, and when the baggage, mail car and coach came along they jumped the track on to the prarie, letting the other cuts come on, and they passed over safely. 11 is cer tainly one of the most extraordinary incidents or accidents in railroad t ravel that perhaps has ever occurred. Smoking. A certain doctor struck wil.li the large number of bojs under fifteen \enrs of age whom lie observed smok ing, was lead to inquire into the ef fect the habit had upon the general health. lie took for his purpose thirty-eight boys, aged from nine to liftcen and carefully examined them ; in twenty-seven of them he iliscovcr od injurious traces of the habit. In twenty-two there were various disor ders of the circulation and digestion, palpitation of the heart, and a more less marked taste for strong drink. In twelve there was frequent bleed ing of the nose, ten had disturbed sleep,, and twelve had slight ulcera tion of the mucuous membrane of tbo mouth, which disappeared on ceasing from the use of tobacco for some days. The doctor treated them all for weakness,, but with little effect until the smoking was discontinued, .when health and strength were; soon rcsloied. Now, this is no idle news paper tale, as these facts arc given under the authority of the British Medical .Journal. A iYlodol Confession. Sevcr?I years ago, in a Western ; town, a young lawyer, a member of aj huge elm re] i, got drunk. The bveth reu said he must confess. He demur red, lie knew the members to lie good people, but that they had their little faults, such as driving sharp j bargains, screwing the laborer down to low wages, loaning money at ille*| j gal rates, misrepresenting article a they had for sale, &c. I3ut limy were good people, and pressed the lawyer to come before the church meeting and own up his sin of taking a glass too much, for they were a temperance people and abhorred intemperance. The sinner finally went to confes sion, found a large gathering of brethren and sisters, whose bowed heads lose and whose eyes glistened with pure delight as the lawyer began his confessiou : "I confers," said he, ' tl'.at I never took ten per cent, for money." On that confession down went a brother's bead with a groan. "I nev^cr turned a man from my door who needed food and .shelter." Down went another head. 4 I confess I never sold a skiin-milk cheese for a new one," whereupon a sister shriek ed for mercy. **lint," concluded the sinner,44! have been drunk and am sorry for it." Whereupon the meet ing very peacefully dispersed. Words ot Wisdom. Truth is an immortal flower, and can liexc die. The measure of choosing well is whether a man likes what he has chosen. Hide not the truth when ye know it, and clothe not the truth with false hood. Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. i The waj to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear. Every event that a man would master must lie mounted on the run, and no man ever caught the reins of a thought, except as it galloped by him. Brava heart, arise ! Be free from every chain, though it be glittering with gold! Be nobly coragcous! Follow the true bride of thy life, even if her name be Sorrow. Let the shell perish,-that the pearl may appear. When Dr. Beadon was Rector of Ellham, in Kent, England, the text he undertook to preach from was, 4*Who art thouV* After reading the text, lie made (as was his custom) a pause, for the congregation to rellect upon his words ; when a gentleman in military dress, who at the instant was marching very sedately up the middle aisle of the Church, supposing it a question addressed to him, to thej surprise of all present replied, ikI ami sir. an ofllccr of the sixteenth icgi-i merit of fool, on a recruiting party here; and having brought my wife and family with me, 1 wish to bo. ac 1 quainled with the neighboring clergy ami gentry." This so deranged the congregation, that though they at tempted to listen with decorum, the discourse was not proceeded with without considerable dillieully. New Yokk, January 22. ? In the United Stales District Court to day, trial was commenced in the suit for $50,000 damages preferred by Col. Elli.onS. Keilt, of South Carolina, against the New York Times, for al leged libel in a special dispatch from Washington in September, 1877, to the elf.:el that plaintiff had been ar rested for bigamy. Col. Keilt alleges Lie article to be entirely false. Mr. George .Tunes, of the Times, in his an swer, avers that the article, does not apply to the plaiutiir, but to another person by the name of Col. Keilt. TllE longest train believed to have ever been drawn by a single engine, recently traveled over the Northern Central Railroad of Pennsylvania.
