THERAILWAY OF LIFE.

We we're journeying upon the railway,
crashing past the hamlet and field, fol.
lowing the terrible iron horse in his mad
speed.
And presently arrived at a tunnel
cooped through the hollow rock. we plum
ged into darkness, stunned with roaring
echoes and enveloped in flashing sparks.
Thus on, until we emerged. and then
gazed around me, TO discover if the
faces OF my fellow passengers were not
white with fear.
But no one seemed shaken, and the
converse went on quietly as ever.
Then marveling, | said 10 one beside
me:
Were you not afraid when we passed
through the darkness amid the roar2
But he laughed and answered, the con-
ductor takes care of us! There is no
more danger in the dark tunnel than up
on the open road
Then said secretly in my own boz
som. how. il men have faith in this rail-
road conductor, shall distrusI my Heav.
enly Falherl The Almighty Conductor
is he, who guideth us safely through the
darkness and the roaring echoes OF ad'
versity into the broad light of day

APoLICEMAN,S HELPMATE.

Watchman Hazen, of the River Police,
has little dog which has been learned to
catch, at given signal, suspicious persons
by the scat of the unmentionables, and
without scratching the flesh hold on to
him. A few nights since. Hazen discov-
cred an Irshman lurking about some
freight on the wharf with the undoubted
intention Of stealing. Hazen approached
him and said:
"What are you doing here, sir, at this
time of night?"
"Fait'. sir, an l be looking for a job,
sure"
"A Job at this hour? That will not do;
YOU want to steal, and you had better take
nv advice and leave this levee in hur-
ry."
BE the holy Moses! I'm an honest
man, sir, an devil the bit O. property did
| ever take, that an honest man could call
his own, sure"
Leave" said the watchman in COM
manding tone.
oh but would ye be after insulting a
paceable citizen, who has taken out his
papers years ago, at this ugly hour OF a
cowld night?'
Leave, 1 tell you, or 1 will take you to
the lookup" -,
"lhe lookup, sure! TC the divil wild

as trod the free sile of this blessed coun-
thray." .
'idon't want any of your blaney, you
old blatherskite, and tell you, you have
got to leave this levee in short order or gc
to the lookup"
"Then be jabers we'll fight for it, my
darlint," exclaimed, the lrishman, thorw
inc off his coat, as if he intended to give
the watchman the best lick he had. His
coat was no sooner off than he felt some
thing tugging at the seat of his breeches
At the same Time low growl assured hin
that it was dog, and the heavy pulls ant
Jerks he received told him he had tough
little critter to deal with. He spent only
moment in trying to release the hold o
the dog, and finding he could do nothin!
in that way, he attempted to free hlmsel
by fight. Up the wharf he sped, the do
dangling to his rear, and with the rapidlt
of a locomotive, crying "Murther ! Mu'
iher !--fake himof l--'OiH yetet The bas'
ale daceat man alive ~
How far he ran is not known; but in
: bout ten minutes the dog returned, bring

Il driven from the wharf several times pr

HURRY UP.

For months past every morning wa
have heard the words which head this
item coming up from the street beneath
our window in a round, full. strong voice.
telling US in tones that all may hear to
hurry up What tort That for long
time was sore puzzle, or else it made
US sore TO be wakened before the sun and
bid hurry up by some outside barbarian.
The words would have been far more tol.
cradle if they had come from the kitchen
or the breakfast.room, accompanied with
announcement that the meal was ready.
Then we might be willing TO hurry up.-
and hurry down, and hurry up the cakes,
and hurry through with breakfast, and
hurry back 10 our quiet room. leaving an
order with Betty to hurry up the Tribune
as soon as the carrier. who is always bur.
rying up, threw it down BY the basement
window.
But 10 be bid to hurry up BY some fel.
low in the street every morning about the
time slight stretches Of daylight began TO
hurry in through the blinds, was TOO much
for our equaOimity. and we determined to
detect the delinquent who made night hid
eous and morning miserable with his cry
Of hurry up.
So we hurried up one morning at the
frs: cry, looked down upon the street.
and saw--a milkman, trying TO hurry
up his early customers, those who must
get up and get an early breakfast, and
get early down town 10 their daily labor,
where they will have TO hurry up all day,
for all the working world of this city are
always in hurry.
So it hurry up all through life. The
little boy is anxious TO hurry up TO an
equal size with his big brother, and the
big boy is still more impotientto to hurry up
10 manhood. The man is trying to hurry
up to matrimonial climax of happiness
and position in life which alone can give
him among the hurried up" upper class

ry up from the cradle to the parlor, ball.

Louis used to collect scattered handstul
Of straw to cover the shivering limbs OF
the old grenadier. They lived principal

the poor old man felt unable to rise from
off the floor Of deserted hut where he
had passed the night, and murmured as it
were in spite of himself:
Jacquet, am dying; get me little

The child burstinto hearty fit Of cry

for aims but he got nothing, and felt
ready TO despair, when suddenly thought

the case that contained his cockade, and
sobbed aloud

mercy send me some brandy for Papa
JacquesP
He continued to repeat these words as
we'll as his tears would permit, until gen.
tleman who was passing by, stopped and
began to question him. The child, in an
artIess manner, told his history and fin.
ishcd by saying:
Papa Jacques desired me never to part
with this cockade. He said that it would
always bring me good luck, and ! would
rather cut off my arm than lose it; still
you may have it, if you will only give me
few sous to buy brandy for him J
Much moved, the stranger answered ;
MY child, God, to whom you prayed SO

comrades. Take me to your father
And this man.

young officer, this kind, good officer took
me in his arms me-a poor mendicant
He caused Jacques to be carried TO his
house, restored him to life, and never al
lowed him to want for anything until his
death, which did not take place for many

You have not finished the story, Louis,
said the general. You did not say that
promised to restore to you the emperor'
cockade whenever you returned with al
epaulctte, gained as we old soldiers gain
ed ours. And to-day, my friends, yol
see the cockade in his cap; for Louis wa
at the taking of Algiers, and his captain
who had taken him out merely as a re
cruit, has sent him home to me an ensign!
So saying, the general once more EN-
braced his adopted son. We were al
much affected, and / saw another teal
stealing down on the old officers grey
moustache.
