ARAILROAD PICTURE.

Would you like the luxury of a new
sensation? Take your stand six feet
from railroad track-in the night, and
await the passage of the express train
There is no wind stirring. Clouds close
in the light of the stars. The hum of
life has ceased. Blackness and silence
brood together upon the face of the earth.
Afar off the listening car catches dawn
ing roar. Half heard and half fclt-it
grows into more distinctness-partly re-
vealed by the trembling of the solid earth
and partly felt as shapeless horror filling
the air. Every second fills its awful
volume and deepens its terror. The
earth now quakes under its tread-a bla-
zing glare, as from the eye of hell, flash
es livid horror into the surrounding
air-and you see, crawling along in snaky
track, with frey head crouchcd close to
the ground, and its long train swinging
from side to side with a wavy motion-a
gigantic and terror-breathing monster, in
stinct with life and power, crushing the
earth with its tread, and creating whirl-
wind with its blasting breath, as it sweeps
along. Is there anything in the world
which impresses the mind with pro-
founder sense Of resistless power-than
that enormous mass, with its blazing eyes
and smoky breath-rushing with the
speed of a cannon ball, and startling the
air and the earth with the overwhelming
horror Of its flight? Imagine such a
flight across the country fifty years ago
-unheralded by any rumor Of its coming,
revealing its existence by its presence,
and rushing suddenly into oblivion-as it
now rushes into the darkness while you
gaze upon the spot where it disappeared
and hear only the faint echo Of its distant
tread. What rumors of it would fill the
world! What tales of its grandeur-of
it's speed and power-would start +,
credulity of the remotcst village Ip.
