THE STRANGER ON THE OLD BRIDGE.
Mr.. Timberwilk had done all honor
and Justice to the famous compound Of the
Washington Saloon. There never was
more polite and experienced bar-keep-
er" than the Colonel ever paraded before
discerning public by fattering county
reporter. The Colonel insisted that JEFF
ferson should +" smile" with him in honor
of Christmas, and he " smiled" several
times in consequence. There never was
a ioIlier fellow than the Colonel, nor jol-
lier fellows generally than two or three
Captains, Major and General present !;
nothing under a Captain, all select and
proper. But the best of friends must
part, and SO with one of the Colonel's Ell
Soils of choice brand, and reserved for
choice spirits like himself. Mr.. Timber
wilk set out on his walk back to the cavern
and the sprites, with his martial cloak
around him, in a much warmer condition
of mind and body than when he had
started
Capital nog," said Mr.. Timberwilk
to himself for company sake. A." Nectar
for gods. Essellent fer, Colonel"
jefferson was merry, although the wind
blew as rudely and the snow whirled as
madly as ever, the warm within defed
to its very teeth the cold of the man with
out.
He was approaching now narrow
bridge, much broken and worn
through in places, which served as a rag
ged pass-way over a neck of stagnant
water, fed from basin somewhere re-
mote in the lower part of the city. This
basin, long out of use, served for nothing
but the generation of sickness, manu-
factory set up by Death, and doing good
thriving business. Toads and snakes
sported on the banks among the long
weeds and rushes, that served as a bor-
dering to its fostering filth, which also
served as the last resting place of the de-
eunct cats, dogs and carrion of the sur
rounding neighborhoods. Few cared to
trust the rottenness of the bridge, even
in the broad daylight, and by night none
who knew another from the island-which
| formed the river front of the city, OF
which Mr.. Timberwilk lived-by the new
bridge, ever come that way.
Wild screams are heard al lone hours
by the bridge; marks of desperate strug'
giles are detected, telling clearly of deeds
of violence on the stranger, seized and
robbed and thrown from its sides oil
through It's gaping holes which show like

TO BE CONTINUED.

LIFE OF AN ENGINEER.-The life of a rail
road engineer is graphically depicted in
the following extract from the Schenectady
Star
But the engineer, he who guides the
train by guiding the iron horse, and a.
most holds the lives of passengers in his
hands-his Is life of mingled danger
and pleasure. In a little 7x9 apartment,
with square holes on each side for win
dows, open behind, and with machinery
to look through ahead, you find him. He
is the Pathfinder; he leads the way in
all times of danger, check the iron horse.
or causes it to speed ahead with the veloc-
ity of the wind, at will Have YOU ever
stood by the track, of a dark night, and
watched the coming and passing of
train? Away off through the darkness
you discover light, and you hear a NOISE.
and the earth trembles under your feet.
The light comes nearer; you can COM
pare 1t TO nothing but the devil himself
with Its terrible whistles the sparks YOU
imagine comes from Belzebubs nostrils
the fire underneath, that shines close TO
The ground, causing you to believe thai
the devil walks on live Goals. 1t comes
close toyou; you back away and shudder
you look up, and almost on the devils
back rides the engineer; perhaps the
machine shrieks, and You imagine the
engineer is applying spurs to the devils
sides.
A daring fellow, that engineer-you
can't help saying so, and you wonder
wherein lies the pleasure of being an en-
gineer, But SO he goes, day after day,
night after night. Moonlight evenings
he sweeps over the country, through cities
and villages, through fairy scenes ard
forest clearings He looks through the
square holes at his side and enjoys the
moonlight, but he canno; stop to enjoy the
beauty of the scenery. Cold, RAINY.
muddy, dark nights, it is the same Per
haps the tracks are undermined OF over
flown with water perhaps some scoun-
drels have placed distractions in the way,
or trees been overturned across the
track, and IN either case it Is almost IN
stant death to HIM at least but he stops
not. Right on is the word with him, and
he goes, regardless OF danger, weather
and everything save the well doing of his
duty. Think Of him, ye who shudder
through fear IN the cushioned seats of the
cars and get warm from the fire that is
kindIed for your benefit
Mineral Point tribune. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1854-1858, 1857-01-20

some kind friend had inserted large size
pin into his person at that instant.
My mother is i'll, Mr.. Timberwlll,."
He felt bound, under the Circumstance
to say something professional, though he
could have stood there, with the door in
his hand, looking at her forever, as he
thought.
What symptoms
"Apoplexy."
Bleeding" said Temberwilll mcchan-
ically " bleeding and blue mass"
This was the orthodox treatment in the
disturbed district surrounding Buuernut
street for almost every complaint among
the pointers, and some constitutions with
stood it.
Will you come with me e.
Would he go with her? Would he
stand on his head at the North pole aud
sing comic songs for her sake, if such an
act were practicable
Coating himself again and insisting on
throwing his cloak around his fair visitor.
(like another Raleigh, he would have car
peted the snow with his entire wardrobe
had 1t been necessary, he babe the strang-
er make himself cheerful and not permit
the leeches torun away, and set out again.
81 will take your arm, Mr. Timberwilk,
its SO slippery
He had a sensation of a small stream
of Ice water trick.ing on his spine. There
he was with his day thought and nightly
dream tucked cozily under his arm. 1t
was astonishing how CLASSY and insure Of
foothold the sidewalks were, and how
much trouble Mr.. Timberwilk had to pre-
serve the perpendicular of himself and
companion.
Poor old General" said Indiana,
" I'm afraid one of these attacks will car
ry her off"
Something like suffocated sob follow
ed this. There was nothing of the tights
and tunics about her now jefferson
pressed her arm as closely as he delicate
ly could he might have done so tighter
still for all that the girl noticed, and they
were soon al the door of the Butternut
Hotel

I" And why not 2"

And why not s''
Beca's face from matching scarlet ha,
changed to deathlike pallor In mourn,
full whisper she says
You forget; pray do not. You dis.
tress me more than you can suppose
My life is plain before me-alone in the
world, alone -
1t Is lndiana's turn now to play the
comforter, and for some moments there
is silent, communing sympathy between
them.
The wind howis and screams, the snow
whirls fiercely by, the little clock ticks
pertiy to the shadows on the walls, and
the bells, rollicking bells, are pealing as
If In mockery of the troubled heart.
There is the sound of powerful voice
calling from somewhere remotely in the
distance. Indiana looks up
That's the General. Come, Beca let
US look bright and cheerful for the fes,i-
val"
She has crossed to the door and set it
WIDE open. Beca has laid by her work !,
it is nearly completed, and smoothing her
hair with her little hands, is about to rise.
Let me assist you."
Thank you, l am becoming quite
strong again." Beca answers as she red
dens, and stoops to draw from under the
table by her side-crutches.
She is cripple! Hurried along by a
mad crowd, hurled down and manned and
mangled among a hundred others by panic
stricken people, seeking to escape from a
tottering hall of worship. Poor girl -
Poor human nature How frail is the
clay tenements which our souls inhabit.
Why, so you are indeed, quite strong"
Indiana cries.
So very much stronger than was,
you see.'
We shall be leaving these friends
aside, soon"
The friendly fiattery is too transpar-
ent, and the sufferer will not take the
precious hope to her heart"
Never, my friend, never
"Yes, yes you will. But come, we will
have no more sadness tonight This is
sorry opening of Christmas. Come, as
the General would say-on to the ban
quet."
1t is mournful TO watch that shadow on
the wall, moving slowly, slowly on, while
the other by its side, seems like the form
of Mercy fulfilling her mission SO the
shadows glide on through the open door
way, to be lost in the common darkness.
