.Treca .bx.n Locomatlre.

Some years ago Pfof. Lartabee visited Portland. Maine. Those who have read the Doctors articles. knows that it is a favofIte place with him. He loves it with all the fervor of his enthusiastic and im- pnlsive nature. a
 He had been strolling in the neighbor-
 hood, and was out until nighlfall, which found him mile or two f,om hls quar- ters. Hs started homeward, and soon came 10 sn inlet for tue tidewater, span ned by a railroad bridge, nearly half a mile in length. One of three alternative: must be chosen-to walk about an extrs mile to the head of the tidewater--andit its this his tired limbs spoke reunonstfance
 to stay there and wait until the evening train from Boston came in. and ther cross-and to this his empty stomach de. nuued-or 10 cross now and riak it.- His reason protested that it was danger sous. but tho legs and stomach had a mas ,jority of two thirds and carried the q,es> .tion. .s, sas'1.sE
 Over he started-he got about one- third of the way across. when he heard the scream of the steam whistle, and looking back, saw the !" lightning train, '' coming on, forty miles to the hour. To get back was impossible--to stand by the track on that narrow bridge with a considerable specimen of the deep blue sea" beneath was not expedient. What shoald he do One thinks very fast un. der such circumstances. On came the train, louder shrieked the whistle the bridge was gained and the Professor on it. At this moment his eye caught sight ol a telegraph pole, standing beside the bridge. He ran to it. caught hold of it and cooned up in vely undigniied haste, while the screaming. snortiDg. galloping train dashed by. As soon as the nervous excitement calmed down, he descended and walked slowly homeward. He thinks however. that climbing the pole is SC,
 rious matter, ard owns up to having been treei by locomotive and escaping by telegraph. s&} 1 '

How to Look Rennklfnl.

Toytho>e Of our female readers who are sorrowing because they are not blessed with beauty. or because they touch o, two less bewitchirg than the statue of Eve which is said 10 enchant the world, we commend the following:
 What is "good looking" as Horace Smilh remarks, but. looking go9dP Be wcnanly--be gentle--generous in you, sympalhies -heedful of the well being of all around yo,i--and my word for it you will not lack kind words of admiration. Loving and pleasant associations will clus- ter about you like the sweet re memb brance of angels visits. Never mind the ugly reflection your glass may give you--that mirror has no heart. But quite another picture is yours on the retina of human sympathy. There the beauty of holiness, of purity. and that inward grace which passeth show, rests over it, softening and mellowing its features, just as the calm, full moonlight melts those of a rough landscape into harmonious lovcliness.
 "Hcld up your heads" girls I re- peat &itet 1TttuIUSSs VUy BuOuiU you not Every mothers daughter of you can be beautiful! You can envelops yourselves in an atmosphere of moral ant intellectual radiance, through which you otherwise plain features will look fotll like those of angels. Beautiful to Led l yard. stiffened in the cold of Mortimer, winter. seemed the diminatiye, smoke stained women of Lapland. who wrapped him in their furs, and miuistered 10 hi necessities with kindness and gentle wore of compassion. Lovely to the homesicl heart of Park seemed the dark maids o Lego. as they sung their low, simple sonl of welcome beside lis bed, and sought tt comfort the whiie stranger. who had ''nt mother to bring hIm milk. no wife tt l grind him corn" Oh talk as we may of beauty. as thing to be chiseled fron marble or wroughi out on canvass--spec nlate as we may upon colors and outline = what is it but an intellectual abstrac .ion after all? The heart feels beaut, of another kind looking through the ont
 ward environment. it discovers deepe and more real loyeliness. gl

 'One.' replied ls. 'whom I did not sufficiently love while living but whose inestimable worth l now feel.'
 What would'st thou do if be were re- stored 10 thee?'

ford aside. "Capiain," said he you must let me fight that iman-he will whip yOw." Crawford was not willing to appear to bQck OMt, but the youth insisted that 10 have the Captain beaten, which would be the result if be Pcrsis- ted, would tafnish the honor of the com pauy ; and moreover he himself was.ihe only man that could ship the wagoner, The confidence of the youth, and . sOnier thlng about him which inspired conf- dsnce in others, enabled him 10 carry his point. Captain Crawford having done all that policy required, in accep- ling the challenge. very prudently suf> fered himself to be persuaded by his men to let the stranger take his place. f
 The two combatants were soon strips ped, prepared for the fight. There was great disparity in their appearance; fife odds being decidedly in favor of the wagoner. He was tn the vigor of life. big. muscular, hardened by exposure, and experienced in affairs of this kind. - The youth, who when clad in a hunting shirt, seemed slender. now showed him. self to be young gIant. His frame had not yet assumed the fullness, the compactness, and the vigor of ripe man. hood which it afterwards possessed to so high degree-bis limbs seemed to be loosely hung together, but his bones and muscles were enormous, and his eye full of courage.
 The conflict though bloody. was short. The wagoper was completely and terri. bly beaten. The youth sprung upon nim with the ferocity of an enraged li> ger, and the battle was no longer doubtful. Wherever the tremendous fist of the youth struck, it inflicted severe wound. The blood flowed at every blow; and the wagoner, who had been the victor in many a hard fought field, in few minutes lay mangled and ex- hausted at the feet of his vanquisher, who was but little, if at all hurt.
 That youth was DANIEL MORGAN, who had now, for the first time, taken the field against the enemies of his coun- try, as private soldier. who af,erward ,ose to the rank of Major General, who so often led our srmies in battle, and perhaps was more frequently engaged with the enemy than any other officer in the American Revolution. He was as celebrated for his activity. strength and personal courage. asf for his military genius and the above is one of great number of incidents in his life which att test his almost incredible bodily power.
