THE ENGINEER-THE FIREM AN
THE BRA KEENAN,.

A new work has lately been issued on the
DRIVERS of the Iron horse; or, Trips on a
Locomotive Book of Railroad Life
The writer Of the book from which we
quote, is an engineer, who has long been
driving the iron horse. He relates some fear
ful accidents and hair breadth escapes.''-
This experience seems to have had its effect
upon him, for in one of his sketches he draws
the following vivid picture: ...
s.H TIE ENGINEER.
Thought Of the poor estimate in which
the class to which | belonged was held by
the people generally, who, seated in the easy
cushioned seats OF the train, read of battles
far away-of deeds of heroism, performed
amid the smoke and din Of bloody war aud
their hearts swelled with pride they glow
with eladness to think that their own species
are capable Of such daring acts, and all the
while these very readers are skiIting the
edges of precpIces, to look down would ap-
pail the stoutest heart and make the strong
est ncrved man thrill with horror; they, are
crossing deep narrow gorges on gosssamer-
like bridges; they are passing switches at
terrific speed, where there is but an inch Of
space between smooth, rolling prosperity and
quick destruction; they are darting through
dark, gloomy tunnels, which would be turned
into graves for them were single stone to
be detached from the roof in front of the
laundering train they are dragged by a
fiery -lunged, smoke-belching monster, in
whose form are imprisoned death dealing
forces the most terrific. And mounted upon
the fire fend sits the engineer, holding in his
hand the thread of every life on the train,
which a single act-a false move, deceived
eye, an instsnt's relaxation Of thought or
care on his part, would cut, to be united
neverInore; and the train thunders on, cross
ing bridges, gulies and roads, passing through
tunnels and cuts, and over embankments
The engineer, firm to his post, still regulates
the breath Of his steam demon, and keeps
his eye upon the track ahead, with a thou
sand things upon his mind, the neglect or a
wrong thought of either of which would run
the risk of thousand lives, and these rea-
ders in the cars are still absorbed with the
daring deeds of the Zousvcs under the warm
sun Of Italy, but pay not a thought to the
Zouave upon the engine. who every day rides
down into the valley of DEATH and charges

BRAVE ENGINEER,

George D. was running the night express
and was some thirty minutes behind time.
My freight train was waiting on the switch
for him to pass. He came on at about thirty
five miles an hour, as near as could Judge,
and was watching him all the time. He
was within about three times the length OF
his train Of the switch. was blowing his
whistle, when saw, and he saw, the switch
man run madly out Of his 'shanty," grab
the switch and turn it so that it would lead
him directly into the hind end of my train
jumped instinctively to start my engine;
heard him whistle for brakes-and those
that stood near said that he reversed his en-.
gine-but my train was too heavy for me to
move quickly, and he was too near to do
much good by reversing, so | soon felt a
heavy conclusion and knew that he struck
hard. for, at the end of the forty five care, it
knocked me down, and the jar broke my
engine loose from the train.
He might have jumped from his engine
with comparative safety after he saw the
switch changed. for the ground was sandy
there, and frees from distractions, and he
could easily have jumped clear Of the track
and escaped with slight bruises. Blu, no
behind him, trusting to him, and resting in
comparative security, were hundreds to
whom Ne was as dear as to him his post
was at the head: to the greater law Of sell
preservation, that most people put in their
code of practice, his stern. duty required him
to forswear allegiance, and to act on the
principal, "othcrs first, myself afterwards. =
So with bravery OF heart such as is seldom
fonud in the ranks of men, he stuck to his
iron steed. transformed him into tho white
steed o. death. and spent the last energies Of
his life, the strength his last pulse. striving
to mitigate the suffering which would follow
the collision His death was instantaneous
he had no time for regrets at leaving life and
the friends he loved so dearly, When we
found him, one hand grasped the throttle
his engine was reversed, and with the other
hand he still held on to the sand box lever
The whole middle and lower portion Of his
body Was crushed, but his head and arms
were untouched, and his face still wore .
