A Yankee Story.

An Englishmsn was Dragging of the
English railroads to a Yankee traveller
seated at his side in one of the cars of
"fast train," in England. The engine bell
was rung as the train neared o station
1t suggests to the Yankee an opportunity
of "taking down his companion peg or
two" "What's that noise I" innocently
inquired the Yankee. "We are approach.
ing town." said the Euglshiman; they
have to commence ringing about ten miles
before they get to station or else the train
would run by it before the bell could be
heard Wonderful, isn't it I suppose
they haven't invented bells in America
yeti" "Why, yes" replied the Yankee,
Twelve got bells, but can't use them on
our railroads. We run SO 'tarnal fast that
the train always keeps ahead of the sound.
No use whatever the sound never reach
es the village till after the train gets BY"
"1ndeed |" exclaimed the Epglishmen
"Fact," said the Yankee "had to give up
bells. Then we tried whistles-but they
wouldn't answer either. was on o loco
motive when the whistle was tried. We
were going at tremendous rate--hurri.
canes were nowhere, and I had to hold my
hair on. We saw two. horse wagon
crossing the track about five miles ahead +,
and the engineer let the whistle on, screech.
ing like trooper. 1t screamed awfully,
but it wasn't no use. The next thing
knew, I was picking myself out of pond
by the roadside, amid the fragments of the
locomotive, dead horses, broken wagons,
and dead engineer lying beside me. Just
then the whistle come along, mixed up
with some frightful oaths that I heard the
engineer use when be 6rst saw the horses.
Poor fellow ! he was dead before his voice
got to him. After that we tried lights,
supposing these would travel faster than
the sound. We got some SO powerful that
the chickens woke up all along the road
when we came by, supposing it to be
morning. Bnt the locomotive kept ahead
of it still, and was in the darkness, with
the light close on behind it. The inhabi-
tance petitioned against it; they couldn't
leep with so much light in the night time.
Finally, we had to station electric tele.
graphs along the road, with sig nal men to
telegraph when the train was. in sight
and have heard that some of the fast
trains beat the lightning fifteen minutes
every forty miles. But can't say as that
is true but the rest I know to be so.''

Bas. Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvau

sG- Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania,
thinks there are enough disabled soldiers
competent to perform the duties of ASSESS
ors and collectors under the United States
revenue laws, and he advises President
Lincoln to appoint them, in preference to
the traditional Office, seekers who are now
besiegiug him. This is good sugges-
tiou on the part of the Governor, which
we heartily second. This will afford an
excellent opportunity to practice the prin-
ciple of "no party" Give to the disabled
defenders of our country this pittance and
the nation will applause the deed.

"A MATHEMATICAL HOSPITAL Pa
T1ENT.-On our trip up we had on board
tall, gsunt-looking volunteer, whose ap.
pearance not only indicated that he was
lately from hospital, but that i. would
perhaps have peen better for him to have
remained there still, for he certainly did
not seem to be in fit condition to travel,
He was from Eastern Ohio, and by soma
strange whim of his comrades (soldiers
have odd notisns as to name) he had won
the cognomen of "Beauregard." He was
full of dry humor, and it had peculiar
zest, coming from such dilapidated spec
linen Of the human kind. l asked him:
CHOW long were you in the hospital

81 stayed just FIVE days; couldn't stand
it any longer"
"Why sol Were you not we'll treat

"Well, you see, when I went in there

led one"
"Well, what of that"
"Nothing-only the next day they buri-
ed another.
'They must have been severe cases, and
made it very unpleasant for YOU
"D-d unpleasant! I know my turn
would come in time. I went in on Mon
day, and if stayed would, be carried
out on Saturday. So made my ca,cula~
ton, and on Friday I packed my KNAPP

surely been buried on Saturday. Six

About twelve years ago, Edward For.
ester, country lad, born in Jefferson coun-
ty, iu New York, decided, like = great
many other boys, to 60 to sea. His friends
opposed the idea, but, Of course, the
love Of ocean life was too strong to bs re.

In Honolulu, Forester made the 40

and went with him to Japan. Here he
remained two or three years engaged ia
commercial pursuits. Thence went to Chi.
ma, where he was taken into the Imperial
services. He became popular, both with
the foreigners and native authorities of
Shanghai, and was finally made second in
command to General Ward, in place of
Colonel Murgiven, who was severely
wounded in some recent engagement.
In this capacity the quopdam sailor con.
tinued to be much liked, and now enjoys
the confidence of all the Maudarins in the
province, and is admitted to their conf
dence, as we'll as the highest and most ex-
elusive Chinese society. At one time For.
ester led band Of two hundred men against
the rebels, only nine Of them returning, the
rest having been killed. He has now twen-
ty thousand troops under his command.
For his services he has been made a
Mandarin of the Blue Button, and his
name stands high in Pekin. His rank
obliges him to keep at least twelve servants.

GoDs PATIENCE.-There is no more

all that time trying and wearying that pa

their aggravation. The worlds history
is a consecutive history of iniquity-a

bearance. The Church, like feeble ark f,
tossed on mighty ocean of unbelief ; and
yet the world, with its cumberers, still
spared The cry of its sinful millions is at
this moment entering "the ears of God of

mercy is stretched out still,

bite, nine times out Of ten, is in some part
Of the hand and Immediately when it is
felt the wounded part should be well suck
ed by the mouth, aud picce ofstring tied
tight round the finger or the wrist, (ac-
cording to the seat of the bite) to prevep
the poison from being absorbed into the
system. If this simple plan was generally
known and acted upon, death OF injury
from the bite of an adder would be rare
indeed. In case of hydrophobia, this plln
might also be adopted, and in many in
stances would prevent the poison entering

Select Poetry.
AFTER THE COWS.

Evening is creeping slowly on,
The shadows lengthen fast,
The cool fresh western breexes
Are fitting softly past;
And in the upland pastures
The cow.bell tinkles shrill,
And crimson is the clover grass,
Upon the orchard Hill.
Across the verdant hilltop
And through the valley shade,
After the cows at sunset
Go forth lad and maid;
Her blue eyes seek for daisies,
His dark eyes seek her face,
That glowing revelation
Of perfect girlish grace.
Shadow is DER the forest,
Grim are the moorland fells;
Gossamer fairies wander
Forth from their elfn cells.
Up the lane to the milk.yard,
Moonlight crowning their brows,
Come back the lad and the maiden,
Driving the lazy cows.
