WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7. A EHYME ON DEATH'S INN. A rhyme of Death's inn ! My tore came to that door : And she had need of many things, The way had been so sore. My love she lifted up her head, "And is there room ?" said she : "There was no room in Bethlehem's inn For Christ who died for me." But said the keener -of the inn "His name is on the door;" My love wiio straightway entered there ; She hath come back no more. A Pathetic Incident Of the C&atswortk Horror, as Told by a Lady Survivor. Mrs. Merriam Grant one of the people wounded in the Chatsworth dis aster, was in the rear car with her hus band. In this car was a party of six people. In order tbst they might sit together, Mr. and Mrs. Grant changed seats with a young man and his bride. Their courtesy saved their lives, for the young couple were both killed. Mrs. Grant thougat this party were theatri cal people or concert singers, they were so jolly and sang so weil. They could sing, and they laughed ?d told stories and anticipated the pleasure of the trip until late at night. T&ea Mrs. Grant composed herself in her chair and cov ered her face with her handkerchief to go to sleep. Nearly everybody in the car was quiet but the jolly party of six. About this time the yoang bride was requested to ?ag, 'Sweet Hoar of Prayer/ Something in the desire to sleep and rest recalled the sweet old song. The young woman sang, and all fistened whi?e the trahi sped on. As the little gleam of devilish fire appeared far down the track their voices swelled in : "Yet in my dreams I'd be, ^Seaser, my God, to Thee." The speed of the train increased dowa fche grade. Again the song swelled : "There, let the way appear, steps unto heaven." The way was already in sight. "All that Thon sendest me, in mercy given." And then with but a moment of life left for each. Even when poor Ed. McClintocVs hand was giving its last desperate wrench to tke throttle of his engine, the singers sang to their God, who seemed not to be holding them in the hollow of His hand : "Angels to beckon me, Nearer, my God. to Thee." Enough. It was finished. The en gines struck the frail bridge and it sank. Tie car containing the singers crashed like a bolt of Jove through the two cars in front of it, killing and ?cind?ug as a foot kills a worm. In the same instant another car crashed through it, and the singers were dead. ?Boston Advertiser. Weird Picture of a Tomb. Mr. J. i?. Yane has in his possession a photograph of the monument of the late Hon. John M. Clayton, in the Presbyterian churchyard in this town, that is attracting considerable atten tion and has caused not a little com ment. Mr. Vane is a photographer, and ic March last photographed the monument. He was accompanied by a boy. When he looked at the plate he ?awtbings he never dreamed of in con nection with the monument and showed them to the boy. The latter no sooner looked at the plate than his hair got on the perpendicular and his feet had an uncontrollable desire for home. The monument is a very large, fine, white marble one. The tomb rests upon a ^ais un<ler a heavy marble canopy sup ported by handsomely carved pil lars. There is a space of several feet between the tomb proper and the marble canopy above. And now comes the strangely supernatural fea ture of the photograph. Between the tomb and the canopy above can be dis tinctly seen the head and shoulders of a white-whiskered man. Peering around the right-hand corner of the tomb, as if watching him, can be seen the het.d of a woman wi*h gaze fixed intently upon the place occupied by the photog rapher. " Floating in the air above the 'monument can be seen the shadowy j countenance of a large, smooth-faced ! white-haired man, with eyes and mouth | open, the expression being one of as- ! tonishment. The only explanation | seems to be that the plate was in some | way detective, or had the impressions imparted to it in some mysterious man- j ner before the photograph was taken.? Davor {Del.)

A friend urged me to use poison, and, although I was reluctant to listen to him, he sent me a packet, with in structions how to use it. I locked it safe in the cupboard in my seed room for that season, willing to suffer rather than destroy the little creatures whose services I well knew, and whose cheerful songs I enjoyed. The following year they again be came troublesome, and one morning the kitchen-gardener came to me and complaiued : 'If you don't do something to keep off the sparrows and U>ni tits, we shall not have a pea left, sir.' 4 Oh, is that it, John V I said. Well, after breakfast get two Dutch hoes, and I will come and help you for an hour to destroy the natives [weeds] near the peas/ 4I brought some bread and butter, spread the poison on it and placed it ia erumbs7 on a large tiling-slate be tween the ranks of peas, and began to work with John among the natives. Aboa-t f?ve minutes after, my little girl came into the garden. 'Father/ she said, * there if a little bird fluttering among the peas/ 'It was a sparrow. I picked it up, and it gave a few convulsive clutches with its little feet and died. 'There's another/ said she. *I saw \ty and said fyou- go home, dear/ not wishing her to see more, and in less than three minutes I picked up six sparrows and two greenfinches : several more were found a little distance from the peas. Now all was quiet ; not a bird could I see near the spot. I returned to John and stayed arr hour with hinubut not a bird came near the place. 'I took up the poison, for fear the peafowls should come that way. and for some two or three weeks we were quite free from any annoyance from small birds f but when John again began to complain that 'the birds had begun on the marrowfat peas/ 1 took out the slate with the poison on it, just as it was left from the last time, and placed it be tween the ranks of peas again. One rank of dwarf peas had gone up only about halfway the sticks, and beside this rank I placed it?for the better view as I thought. I had hardly taken my hoe hi hand when a fine cocksparrow7 perched on the top of the sticks above the slate j and began to make a load noise, and about every two or three seconds sounded a loud, peculiar bell-like j note. Birds began- to gather thick and fast on the rank of sticks?all j kinds of small birds, sparrows, finches, j linnets, torn tits (two or three sorts), j and whitethroals?till it was literally | covered with them, and this captain | cocksparrow kept on with his loud notes, all the rest being as quiet as possible and every one with its little head turned toward the slate with the poison. John and I looked on in blank amazement, when all at once the sparrow, pluming himself out larger than usual and making a louder note, took wing, all the rest follow ing. And now I began to breathe freely again, for I found I had been involuntarily holding m}r breah while this interesting scene was going on. 'Well, John I said, 'that fellow preached to a purpose/ 'I was thinking, sir/ he answered, 'how attentive all the rest were/ 'For the rest of the season not a bird came near the garden, nor had j I need again of resorting to my slate and poisoued bread and butter/ And shall men be less wise than sparrows ? Shall boys ? Yet the boys and the men who see their fellows betrayed, ruined, poisoned by stronk drink, take no heed of the danger, listen not to the voice of warning. They go recklessly on to taste, to fall, to perish.?Leisure Hour. 'A wine-drinking clergyman is a soldier disarmed ; he is not only not worth a straw in the -fight, he is a part of the impedimenta of the tem perance army. We have a good many such to carry who ought to be ashamed of themselves, and who very soon will be. . . . Then when this license [liquor license] produces its legitimate results?results that always attend such license, and could have been distinctly foreseen in the light of experience?the commnnitj' lifts its hands in holy horror and clamors for the blood of the murderer ! in order to secure its own safety, j It never thinks of drying up the | fountains.

Near the village of Zilling dorf, m Lower Austria, lives Maria Haas, aa intelligent and mdustrious woman, whose story of physical suiFering and final relief, as related by herself,. is of interest to English women, "I was employed," she says, "in the work of a large farm house. Overwork hi ought on sick headache,, followed by a deathly fainting and sickness of the stomach, until I was unable to retain either food or drink. I was compelled to take to my bed for several weeks. Getting a little better from rest and quiet, I sought to do some work, but was soon taken with a pain in my side, which in a little while seemed to spread over my whole body, and -throbbed in my every limb. This was followed by a cough and shortness of breath, until f?nallv I could not sew, and I took to my bed for the second, and, as I thought, for the last time. My friends told me that my tune had nearly come, and that I could not live longer than when the trees put on their green once more. Then I happened to get one of the Sei gel pamphlets.. I read it, and my dear mother bought me a bottle of Seigel's Syrup, (Shaker Extract of Roots) which I took exactly according to directions, and I had not taken the whole of it before I felt a change for the better. My last illness began June 3d, 1882, and continued to August 9th, when I began to take the Syrup. Very soon I could do a little* light work. The cough left me, and I was no more troubled in breathing. Now I am perfectly cured; and oh, how haprw I am? I cannot X J. v' express gratitude enough for SeigelV, Syrup (Shaker Ex tract of Eoots). Now I must tell you that, the doctors in our district distributed handbills cautioning the people against the medicine, telling them it would do no good, and many were thereby influenced to de stroy the Seigel pamphlets; but now, whenever one is to be found, it is kept like a relic. The few preserved are bor rowed to read, and I have lent mine for six miles around our district. People have come eighteen .niles to get me to buy tlie med leine for them, know ing that it cured me, and to be sure to get the right kind. I know a woman who was look ing like doafli, r.nd who told them there was no help for her. that she Lad consulted several doctors, but neue could help her. I told her of Seigers Syrup, and wrote the name down for lier that she might make no mistake. She took my advice and the Syrup, and now she is in perfect health, and the peome around us are amazed. The medicine has lnade such progress in our neighborhood that people say they don't want the doctor any more, but they take the Syrup. Sufferers from gout who were confined to their beds and could hardi v move a* finder have been cured by it. There is a girl in our district who caught a cold by going through some water, and was in bed five years with costi venons and rheumatic pains, and had to have an attendant to watch by her. There was not a doctor in the surrounding district to whom her mother had not. applied to relieve her child, but every one crossed themselves and said they could iict help her. Whenever tue little bell rang, winch \: rang in our place when anybody is dead, we thought surely it was. for her.: but Seigers Syrnp ana I*iIIs (Shaker Extract of Roots) saved her lifo, and now she is as healthy as r.aybody, goes to i church, and can work even in the fields. Evei^-bovly was astonished" when they saw her out,-knowing how many y oars sho had been in bed. To-day she adds her grati tude to ??iii?? for Gods mercies and -Seigols Syr:;:.. ?.?a?:i\ Haas.
