Years ngo when we were young, gay
fitul festive, utttt life secmeil " formed of
sunny years." c, in a moment of
thoughtlessness, and without the fear
or s hereafter before us, wrota It. We
can't tell u lie; we did It with our little
pencil. When we came I. our senses
and reulUcd what we hud done, we
took a great big o:;tb that tin- terrible
aeeret of it authorship should never
be drugged from Its that we would go
down to the grave with it forever locked
in .ur breast. JUt: our sands of life are
swiftly running out, and we can hear
the secret weight upon our minds no
longer. We trust that future genera,
tions twe can't expect it from thia one;
will look kindly upon the memory of
oue who made but this one great mis
take In life.
And now Hint we have divulged this
great secret, the loud is lifted, and not
a tumultuous wave breaks in on the
w-rcnily of our unburdened, piuotful
mind. ...Now let life fade.

was building a fire in ike fire place; hud
placed on the hack h.g.diawn Ibe eunls for
ward and gone mil for a fore slick. Not
returning, his mother called lo her husband
lo step out uud sec what cuttsed the delay.
On guing out, Mr. Horton found his sou
lying on the ground sensoless, a ith the
fore-stick across Hie hack or his neck
From appcarunccs, his red had slipped out
from under him, one fool going one wav
ud the othor the other way. Iu lulling be
burst a blood vessel, and death ensued in a
few hutirs aftur the occurrence.
FiiistTi miii.e ll was not, so to speak,

friend of our?, when he came into the olllce

remarked : "There's ice around thin morn

Dear ,Vr: 1 am In rccelptof yours of
the 21st Inst, rouucetlngmetoglvo you
my opinion of Monumental No. 0
steam fire engine of this city. I com
ply wllh your request with pleasure,
especially as I can truthfully commend
her as being in every respect a very
superior steam llro engine; better, 1
think, than either of tlie other fout;in
the tiold Hill and Virginia Flro Depart
ments. Wo have hero in Hold Hill
and Virginia five slcamcrs of different
makers. Tho ono in Gold Hill is by
Geffreys; of the four In Virginia, one
Is by tlie Sllsby Manufacturing Co.,
(rotary), 0110 by the Amoskeng Manu
facturing Co., one by Button, and the
one you refer lo Is by thoClnpp A Jooes
Manufacturing Company of Hudson,
N. Y. You will see that we have a
very good opportunity of conipuring
the merits of engines built by tlio most
prominent builders of stenm fire en
gines In the Vnlled States. Tho prin
cipal points nf excellence, in tho ClrippA
Jones' engine are;
1st. The holler Is a very rapid gen
erator of s:eam, making stcata faster
than nuy boiler I know of (and I have
had considerable experience with
elcnni boilers).
2d. Simplicity of construction of en
gines and pumps, every part of them
being easily got at for cleaning, pack
ing, repairs, etc.
3d. The superior material, workman
ahip and finish found in this engine.
4th. lireat capacity as compared lo
weight of engine. In short, as au
eftectivo and serviceable steam lire
engine, I think (he Clapp A Jones the
best.

To the I'itnieer , Ovzoti: The un

Iu fact oveiytlilug that will prove In
