THE RAILROAD ENGINEER

One Of the railroad engineers, some years
since, was running an express train OF ten we'll
filed cars. His train was behind time, and
he was putting the engine to the utmost speed
Of which it was capable, in order to reach
certain point at proper hour. He was rum
ming on a straight and level track, and this
unsual valocity, when a conviction struck
him that he must stop. A something seem
ed to tell me-" said he, "ihat to 90 ahead
was dangerous, and that ! must stop if
would save life. looked back TO my train
and it was all right. strained my eyes and
peered into the darkness, and could see no
signal Of danger, and there in the daytime
] could have seen five miles. | listened to
the working Of my engine, tried the water,
looked at the scales and all was right.
tried to laugh myself out Of what then con-
sidered childish fear; but like Banquo's
CHEST it would not down at my bidding, but
grew stronger in its hold upon me.
thought Of the ridcule it would have heaped
upon me il did stop; but it was all Of no
avail, The conviction--ior by this time it
had ripened into a conyicNon--that must
stop, grew stronger, and resolved to stop.
] shut of, and blew the whistle for the breaks
accordingly. ] came TO o dead halt, got off
and went little way ahead without saying
any hing to anybody what was the matter
had lamp in my hand, and had gone
about sixty feet, when | saw what convinced
me that premonitions are sometmes possible
| dropped the lantern from my nerveess
grasp and sat down on the track utterly I'M
able to stand" He goes on to tell us that
there he found that some one had drawn a
spike which had fastened switch rail, and
opened a switch which had always been kept
locked, which led on to treck-only about
one hundred and fifty feet long-which term
mated in stone quarry Here it was wide
open, and had not obeyed my premonitory
warning--oall it what you will would have
run into it and at the end Of the track, only
about ten rods long, my heavy engine and
train, moving at the rate of forty-fve miles
an hour, would have come into collision with
a solid wall Of rock eighteen feet high The
consequences, bad done so, can neither be
imagined or described, but they could by no
possibility have been otherwise than fatally
horrible" No one can here doubt the fact
Of a special interposiuon of God by which,
from calamity most terrific, hundreds of lives
were wonderfully spared. Home Monthly.
Some brave girls have Resolved, That,
if we, the young ladies of Seneca Falls, don't
get married during the year to come, some
body will be TO blame"

A NEW ISLAND - REMARKABLE PHEK
ohENoN.-A correspondent of the London
Times, writing from Athens, Greece, announ-
Gee thsta new island began to rise above the
level OF the sea in the Bay Of Thera (Santorin),
IN the drecian Archipelago, on the 4th of
February, and in five days it attained the
height Of from one hundred and thirty to one
hundred and fifty feet, with length Of up
ward OF three hundred and fifty feet, and a
breadth OF one hundred feet. 1t continues
to increase, and consists Of rusty black
metallic lava, very heavy, and resembling half
smelted scoria which has boiled up from a
furnace. 1t contains many small whitish
semi-tIansparent particles disseminated thro'
the mass like quartz or felspar.
The eruption began on the 3lst of January.
A noise like yoileys Of artillery was heard,
but without any earthquake. On the follow
ing day flames issued from the oea, in part
OF the bay called Vulkanos, where the water
is always discolored and impregnated with
sulphur from abundant springs at the bottom.
The flames rose at intervals to the height Of
fifteen feet and were seen at times 10 issue
from the southwestern part OF Nea Kaimene.
That island was soon rent by deem assure
and the southern part sank considerably.
On the 4th Of February the eruptions be.
came more viole II and the sea more disturbed.
Gas forced itself up from the depths with
terrific noise, resembling the bursting Of a
steam boiler; flames arose at intervals, and
white smoke, rising steadily, formed an i'm
mense column, crowned with curled capitol
OF dark heavy clouds. The new island was
visible next morning, increasing sensibly to
the eye 10 it rose out Of the sea al no great
distance to the south Of Nea Kaimene.

Trip lightly over trouble,

Why clasp woes hand so tightly2
Why sigh DER blossoms dcad2
Why cling 10 forms unsightly?
Why not seek joy unsteady
Trip lightly over sorrow;
Though all the day be dark,
The sun may shine tomorrow,
And gaily sing the lark
Fair hope has not departed.
Though roses may have fed;
Then never be- down hearted.
But look for joy instead.
Trip lightly over sadness,

The new island has been visited by DR..
DeNgallo, man % science and an able OBJ
server, who will record accurately all The
phenomena Of the eruption as it proceeds
The heat Of the sea rose from 80 Fahrenheit
90 1872, as near the scene Of volcanic action as
it was cafe to approach. The bottom Of the
sea all round Nea Kaimene appears to have
risen greatly. In one place, where the depth
is marked on Admiralty chart one hundred
iathoms, it was found to be now only thirty
and at another where it was seventeen, it is
now only three fathoms. The new island, as
it increases, will probably form a junction
with Nea Kaimene. It grows, as it were, out
Of the sea, the mass below pushing upward
that which is already above water.

How To RAISE EARLY CUCUMBERs-l A
good method to produce early cucumbers is
the following Make a trench at the warm
est place of the garden; into this put old
manure-about three inches--and on this
good earth-three inches--on this plant the
seeds, and cover them with sawdust-two to
or three inches. Cucumbers thus treated are
said to come earlier, to endure rain, drouth,
and even little frost, far better than those
treated another way. Against severe night
frosts they should be protected by boards
2. Take middle-sized flower pots fill them
two thirds with good soil (; put the seeds on
this, and cover with sawdust; sprinkle with
warm water, and put the pots near the stove.
On the appearance of the plants, place the
EN- TO harden the plants before trans planting
into the garden. by admitting air to them
both day and night.
3. Take egg shells (the hole to be on the
upper end three fourths Of an inch), FIJI them
with good soil, and therein plant the seeds
Plants thus raised, kept either in The house
or hot-bed, are easily transplanted
How TO RAISE MANY CUoUMBERs.--l.
Never take fresh seed Of last season, but al
ways take seed two OF four years old. Who
can not get old seed, should have his fresh
seeds dried near warm stove during several
weeks. Some gardeners, in order to obtain
this end, carry their seeds in their pockets
Old cucumber seed will bear earlier and more
fruit. Fresh seed will make weak plants,
and is longer in terminating.
2. Pinch off the end OF the main shoot.
This will strengthen the growth of the vine,
the laterals will come out sooner, and you
will get more fruit before frost sets in again.
How TO GIT FINE FLAyoRRD CUcUM-
BERs.-l. Get your seeds from reliable
scotsman.
2. Soak your seed in milk for about TWEEN
ty-four hours before sowing. Agellulus, in

"Mr Cox, formerly Of Ohio, but recent
