The Railroad Crash

We never read Of more thrilling descrip-
ton than the following, from one Of the ed.
itors Of the ST. Louis News, who went down
in the traint to Gasconade Bridge. on the Pa
cifc Railroad; ,.,.. % 3 r,.-r.., 80 < e,oi.
1t is before us now---that teri BILE scene
The moment before ts long train with its
load Of life approached the fatal spot, many
were iptently observing from. the windows
the well marked line which separated the
thick, turbid waters Of the Missouri from the
pellucid waters Of the Gasconade; others
looked out on the long bridge we were ap-
proaching, and remarked on its strength or
its frail,y; and an old gentleman whom we
thought unduly cautious and nervous, wished
he was out /, I" for," said he. "I believe that
bridge will break down" We glanced out
the window near us in careless way, to see
the structure, and turned round without the
shadow of fear that we were doomed not
to cross il. At that moment came the destr-
uction.
We could see nothing, but we heard eve
rything. A sharp, piercing sound, as Of shat.
tered timbers, cane from the front. We
knew its meaning. The bridge had broken
down- Then followed four separate, WELL
defined crashes, and our car took the newt
able plunge. TfAtthe' first sound, we sprung
to our feet, and started to run backward. Il
seemed as though the ruin was approaching
US, instead ofour nearing it. ;weaa eea
Every man in the crowded car in which we
were, jumped up, asthe shiver in front told Of
the coming danger. During those few ter.
rible moments in which we approached the
precipice, the intensest silence prevailed
Not a word was spoken, We had given two
steps backward in an involuntary effort to
avoid the crash, when our time came to follow
those who had gone before. Down, down.
down, endlessly we seemed to 60. We were
not long falling, yet il seemed ages The
memory of railroad accidents we have read
Of, and the reflection that we were in the
midst Of one Of frightful character, the ques.
ton soon to be solved, whether We would
escape or be killed.; the reflection thatIwe
mightbe killed the next minute, and the in
ward abslief that we would not be killed al
all; . chilling thought at The idea Of being
crushed by a beam, orc transfxed by arod,
or torn asunder by adverse forces--ailthese

4 TouchiuAg story.

The Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, in
an address at q meeting in Alexandra, for
he. benefit Of the Orphan Asylum and Free
Schools of that city, related the following
anecdote.A stiii si3,diA 'Hk ~ Ef
"a little boy in cod night, with no
home or roof to shelter his head, no patsr.
nal or maternal guardian or guide to protect
or direct him on his way, reached at night
fail, the house OF a rich planter, who took
him in, fed, lodged and sent him on his way
with his Blessing. Those kind attentions
cheered his heart and inspired him with a
fresh courage to battle'with the obstacles Of
life. Years rolled round; Providence led
him. on. andhe had reached the legal pro-
fession; his host had died; the cormorants
that prey on the substance of man had form.
ed a conspiracy to get the property.
The widow chose as the nearest council
to commit her cause to him, and that coun-
Gil proved to be the orphan boy years before
welcomed and entertained by her deceased
husband. The stimllous OF warm and
tenacious gratitude was NOW added to the
ordinary motive connected with the profess
sion. He undertook her cause with a will
not e asily be resisted he gained uif; the
lwidow'sI estates were sectired to her in per-
petuity; and Mr. Stephens added with an
emphasis of emotion that sent on electric
thrill throughout the house ''tRat orphan boy
