Miraculous ESCAPE OF RAILROAD TRAINS :
Red flannel Dra,oers. Ono day last week,
Mrs Horton, who resides about three miles
west of Oswego, saw o large pine tree fall
directly across the railroad track, She in
stantly laid down the baby, called her hus-
band from his work, and they both ran to the
railroad, distance of some hundred rods
taking an axe with them. But the tree was
sound, and not less than two feet in diameter
where it crossed the track, the spot being {
short curve in the road, and out of view from
any considerable distance. Worse than all, TIN
time for the train to pass was close at hand
Probably at the suggestion of the wife. a
women are always best at expedients, Mr.
Horton took off his red flannel drawers, tor
them in two, and ran up the road with one leg
while his wife ran down with the other. In
few minutes the mail passenger train approach
cd at full speed, when it was arrested by Mrs
Horton standing on the track, waving the leg Q
the red flannel drawers on mullen stalk. Tn
tree was soon cut and rolled off the track, wit
the aid of the passengers, who proceeded o
| their journey; many lives and limbs, doubt
less having been saved by this really kind an
noble act Of Mrs. Horton.

on account Of the notifications which
he he's experienced from the Sights put
upon him for his plain dress. Mr. Bu

some such man as Daniel or Belmont
or some such thereafter as Soule in his
place. Besides, whoever succseds Mr..
Buchanan must. after the stand which
he has taken, follow in the same course.
However injud,cious the circular oil Mr.

the change will not begin with almost
the only one who is lit for the place.

THE LONELINESS OF EARTH.
BY WILLIAM II. cRANsToN.

Oh, the loneliness of earth
Isa fearful thing TO bear
When the heart is sick and worn
BY it's neveT.ceasing care.
Not the toll which brings relief
To the dullness OF .epcse
Not the working Of the arm,
From The day dawn TO its close.
But the sickness and the grief
Which have baiiied human skill,
Since the evening God invoked
On the heart Of man, His chill.
Oh, the loneliness of earth
When the loved are borne away
And the cherished one has passed,
Like the brightness Of the day,
Then night Of sadness lowers,
And a gloom is in the soul,
Which no tongue can e'er describe,
And no viii can Ger control.
There's a void within the heart,
Which the earth can never nll;
There's moaning in the soul,
Which no soothing e'er can still.
There's yearning for the IDOL
There are Wild dreams oflhe past
The mem'ries which We cherish
All grow brighter to the last.
And the whispered wp'd ofloye,
Which the latest soothed the ear,
Always hovers round the mind,
Like an angel ever near.
Whoe'er has lost loved one
Or the cherished who're apart
Oh, the Loneliness Of earth
Is the guest Of such an heart
