THE AGE OF ELECTRICITY. I
We live in an electric ugh,
There is no doubt of that
The world is spinning so it's hard
To know just where we're at.
Electrical discoveries
Have revolutionized
The world, till if the dead could wake
They'd be just paralyzed.
Imagine ()nesse at first sight
Of an electric oar 1
He'd turn and run from sheer affright
Nor look back till afar.
Imagine good George Washington
(Whom we are proud to own
The hero of his time), perplexed
Before a telephone.
Sir Isaac Newton would be dazed
To see the telegraph ;
The thought of talking under seas
Would males Columbus laugh
In scorn, and old Diogenes
Would take to speedy flight,
And drop his lantern, if he saw
A. big electric light,
Yet greater wonders are to come,
So wise men prophesy ;
This is the ape of miraoles,
And long before you die,
Dame Progress you may see, perhaps,
A pair of bloomers don,
And even Philadelphia
May get a wiggle on.
THE TIN BANK.
Speaking of banks, I'm bound to say
net a bank of tin is far the beet.
And I know of one that has etood for
years;
In a pleasant home away out West.
13 1108 stood for years on the mantelpiece,
Between the ()took and the Wedgewood
plate --
A. wonderful bank, as you'll coneede,•
When you've heard the things I'll now
relate.
This bank was made of iiloKinley bin,
Well soldered up at sides and hack ;
But it didn't resemble tin at all.
For they painted it over an iron bleak.
And that it really was a bank
'Twits an easy thing to see and say,
For above the door, in gorgeous red,
Appeared the letters B.A.-N-K.
This bank hed been so well devised
And wrought so winningly that when
You put your money in at the hole
It opuldn't get out of that hole again 1
Somewhere about that stanoh, snug thing
A secret spring was hid away,
But where it was, or how it worked
Memo me, please, bet I will nob say.
Thither, with dimpled cheeks aglow,
•Canoe pretty children oftentimes,
And, standing up on a stool or their,
Pet in their divers penes and dimes.
Once Unale Hank came home from town,
After a :vole of grand events,
And pubin a anuno, bine ivory thing
Rapid wee good for fifty cents 1
The' hank went olinkety-clinkely•olink,
And larger grow, the precious sum,
Which grandma said elle hoped would
prove
A, gracious boon to heathendom 1 •
But there were thoae—I call 31010000055—
Who did 'lot fanny any plan
That did not in sorneveise involve

Young Women Saw {Peed.
A fair under tents was held at Boyd

Jersey City, to raise money to help pay
off the debt of the South Bergen Reform.
ed Chnrob. All the yoling ladies of the
congregation and the female members of
the oburch organization took a deep in -
Wrest in the fair.
The great attraction on Tuesday night
was a wood -sawing contest between four
young women. The contestants were
May Taylor, Emma Wademan, Gretbs,
Dann, and Elba Spoteahil. The young
ladies were each about 18 years old,. and
they were presumably handsome, al.
though they concealed their faces under
great poke bonnets. All of them were
athletic looking.
Precisely five minutes before 9 o'clock
E. W. Russell, the referee, mounted a
platform, on which bad been placed four
old-fashioned wooden bucks and saws.
On eaoh buck lay a piece of hemlock just
'lee inches through.
The crowd gathered around the plat-
form. The girls took their places at the
hooks, firmly grasped the saws, and ab 9
o'clock the referee gave the word to go.
Somebody in alis crowd shouted "They're
off 1" In about ten seconds Miss Spots--
ohil was in difficulty. Her saw had not
been sufficiently greased, and it got stuck.
Mies Wademan was soon in the same
diffionity. The ether two kept right on,
and in preeisely 45 emends Miss Taylor's
piece of wood fell apart, and she was de.
°tared the winner. She was loudly
cheered. She oleo got a prize:
SIIE BANGED FIER ii3OTER.
At Ranolgenn, on Wednesday of last
week, on the witness stand, after a, most
rigid examination by the eoroner, Mies
Bessie Harris, the pretty daughter of a
wealthy farmer, broke down, and oonfess-
ed that she hanged Albert Blackman,
suitor of whom she was insanely jealous'.
Blacerinan's body was found hanging to
a tree in a lonely spot a short distance
from the tbwn, and the general impres•
sion at first was that he had committed
suicide. The girl said that Blackman,
who was a well-to-do young farmer, had
been courting her for some time, in op-
position to the wishes of her parents.
Her father and mother did not object to
the young man on account of any of his
habits, as he was industrious, sober, and
abundantly able to provide a comfortable
home for their daughter. They maintain-
ed that she was too young, being scarcely
18 years dld, and they had hoped elle
would take a foamy to a relative living in
another State, whose name she steadfast-
ly refused to divulge. Finding that they
could not change her affection for 13Iaok.
mau by threats, they adopted a more
certain method, and began a systematic
attack upon her jealous nature. They
told her that Blackman was simply
making her ridioulaus, and that he was
engaged to another girl. With the aid of
her father she procured a rope. She told
her lover she wanted him to give her a
test of his love by letting her hang him,
promising to out him down in time to
save him. When all this was arranged,
her father emerged from a lonely spot,
and the two hanged Blaekman till he
was dead. The confession caused a gen-
sation.
