A DILEMMA. "A few days ago workman
On the Louisville and Cincinnati railroad was
sent to tighten the bolts on the fridge which
spans Bullock Pen creek 10 Kentoncounty. Ar
irving at the place he mounted the bridge,
which, by the way, is eighty feet high, and soon
performed the work intrusted to him. I'm
luckily however, while he was screwing down
the last bolt, he somehow or otherGo his pan
falcons also screwed down fast and tight 70 the
bridge, and to make matters worse, just at this
critical moment he let his wrench tall. Here
was dilemma to be in. After looking around
In vain for some one to relieve him from his
unpleasant position, he slipped off his boots,
aud after wriggling. twisting and squirming
for about ten minutes, managed to get out OF
his pantaloons. He then climbed dowa, reeoy
cred the wrench, retursed to the top of the
structure aud got his pantaloons loose. A
woman, some distance off, seeing the man di
vesting himself of his clothing, thought he
was crazy and about to commit suicide, where
upon she ran off to alarm some men who were
at work few hundred yards from her house;
but before she got hack the supposed lunatie
had donned his garments, and was quietly
seated on the bridge.

Oh, my heart grows weak as a womsu's
And the fountains of feeling will How,
r. WhenI think of the paths steep and stony,
slaGl Where the feet of the dear ones must go /:
Of the mountains OF sin hanging o er them,
OF the tempest of Fate blowing wild;
Oh, there is nothing or earth half so holy
As the innocent heart of child ter5lE
They are idols of hearts and OF households
They are angels of God In disguise; .
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
His glory still CLEANS 10 their eyes ;5e
Oh, those truants from home and from heaven,
They have made me more manly anG
mild az
And I now know how Jesus could iken
The Kingdom of God to child.
