The Railroad Repaired.-Passenger

The track is now fully repaired aud tho

raiders being the flat iron, which has been
replaced with the heavy I rail.

be not taken to guard against it's future
destruction by the Yankee raiders I? I'm

The Wise Ambassador

We remember reading in 90 old paea-
zine. accounts of az ambassador fran the
court of the Emperor Chsrlemagne to tina
Of an Eastern monarch. Dining one day
10 cOmpsny with the barbarian king and
the great men of the court, not knowing
the regulations and the etiquetts of the
East, the ambassador without dreaming Of
harm, moved with his hand dish which
bad been placed near him on the table
Now the laws Of the tyrant required that
IL any guest touched dish that was bro
forward, 5efure the king was served, be
should sufftF the penalty of death eOnse.
queDtly all eyes were turned upon tho am.
bassadOr of Ch'rlemHgne, and there was
an immediate Outcrv against him for the
courtiers of the tyrsnt thought to gain bis
favor by upholding him in his tyranny -
The barbarian king feared TO displease so
great an Emperor as Chsrlemagns. but he
feared to transgress his own lave more,
and be told the ambassador that be must
suffar death for what be had done
Great king said the Frank, i submit
to my fate. The laws Of 10 great nou-
arch must not be broken with impnDity -

Then, an satisfied replied the am
bsssador, proudly; and be glanced con-
temptuOusly ct the Obsequious eOurtisrs.
All l ask is this: give me the eyes
of every man who saw me commit the
crime
The tyrant seemed coufounded, and bis
6attereFs turned pale. But his word had
gone forth, aud must be kept. The Frank's
responsiveness be granted
1T is WE'LL said the king. Their ewes
shall be plucked out for thee.'
But when it was asked who had seen
the ambassador move the dish, every
c0urtier WAS eager to deny that be had
seen the act. The servants also exclaim
ed that they had not witnessed it, aud
the king also declared that be himself had
not. 40
Then. why should die. great king |?

The. king was pleased. and not only
