struck the railroad, and was plying it At
about four knots an hour. Now I had
hearu tell of locomotives, but never dream.
ed Of seeing one alive and kicking; but
about two miles from here l hearn some
thing coffiu', sneezing and laundering, and
| looked round. Sure enough, there she
came down after me, paving the airth up
and splitting the road vice open, with
more smoke and FIRE flying than orto come
out Of hundred burning mountains
There was q dozen wagons follerin' arter
her, and to save her tarnal black, smoky.
noisy neck, she couldn't get clear of them.
| don't know whether they scared her up
or not, but here she come, foaming at the
mouth-with her teeth full of burning red
hot ccals, and she pitched at me like
thousand o brick. couldn't stand itany
longer, so l wheeled round and broke
down the road, and began to make gravel
fly in every direction No sooner had l
done that than she split right after me and
every jump | made she squaled like q
thousand wild cats She began to gain on
me comm up little bill, but we come
round a pint TO straight level on the road.
Now thinks /, III gain on you ginger, as
I'm great on dead level; 90 l pulled to
it and soon got myself under full speed,
and then she began to yelp, and howl, and
cough, and stamp, and come on full chisel.
and made the hull airth shake. But l
kept on before, bouncing at the rate of
twenty feet at every pop, till l got to a
turn Of the road, and was under such
headway that couldn't turn, so tumbled
head over heels down baOk by house
and landed cosmolick in swill barrel,
and my feet and legs stuck literally out
behind, and when she found 60, away,
she commenced splitting hot water into
me. Now do you suppose stayed there
long? No sir-ee, ! jist walked righ,
through that barrel, and come out of the
other end 80 all fired quick, that it really
looked ashamed Of itself. Now here l

The body is to die so much is certain.
What lies beyond None who passes the
charmed boundary comes back to tell
The imagination visits the realms Of shad.
ows-seut out from somewindow in the
soul over life's restless wa1esa, but wings
its way wearily back, with xtf#oii~e leaf in
its beak as token of emerging life be-
yond the closely bending horizon. The
great sun comes and goes in the heavens,
yet breathes no secret Of the eternal will
derness the crescen: moon cleaves her
nightly passage across her upper deep,
but tosses overheard no messages, and
displays no signals. The sentinel stars
challenge each other as they walk their
nightly rounds, but we catch no syllable Of
tn cir countersign which gives passage to
the heavenly camp. Between this and
the other life is great gulf fixed acrossed
which neither eye nor foot can travel
The gentle friend, whose eyes we closed
in their last sleep long years ago, died
with rapture in her wonder stricken eyes,
a smile of ineftable joy upon her lips, and
hunds folded over triumphant heart, but
her lips were passed speech and intimated
nothing nf the vision that enthraled her.

God forgive you! for your feet, too,
