pleasing, and to put little annoyances
out Of the way.
10. To take cheerful view Of every.

A HEaoIc Acr.-The Troy Times relates
the following act Of heroism on the part Of
fireman on the New York Central Railroad
- On Saturday last Stephen Hefferman,
fireman Of the Central railroad, performed
most heroic act by which he saved the life of
little child who had with companion
strayed upon the track near the first mile
post on Green Island, and been deserted by
her larger comrade when the train came
along. The little girl sat on the rail para
lived with fear as She saw the ponderous en-
ginc bearing down upon her, threatening in
slant destruction. Hefferman saw the child,
and at the risk of his own life climbed over
the engine to the cow-catcher, and as the
locomotive came upon the helpless little
thing, he reached down, snatched her from
the track, and lifted her uniniured upon the
engine The act is worthy of all praise, and
reflects the highest credit upon the coolness,
courage and humanity of the young man who
30 nobly rescued the child from death. .

Iephthah and his Daughter.

Two mighty armies contending on battlefield
Each striving with all Of human power
To force its opposing foe to yield.
One leader cried, % Lord, pray thee,
Unto ne, this day, give the victory,
let not mine enemy conquer me
Aud when to my home I return at night,
Whatever shall first come forth to greet me,
Taatwill slay in the sunset light,
And render 1t a thank offering to thee,
Fen though It be precious treasure,
let burned on the altar it shall be
God listened TO the great mans cry
And gave TO him glorious victory
And recorded his vow in the book on high.
Iephthah conquered his mighty foe,
And proudly leaving the field Of battle
Turned himself 70 his home to COS
When to the city he WAS very near,
He looked to see who first should greet him,
Behold Alas It was his daughter dear
o how could be take that sweet life,
And give 1t a thank offering for the victory
He had gained in that deadly strife,
Great beaded drops stood on his cold brow
And he tremblcl ike a reed in the wind
As he remembered his fearful VOW.
With au anguish awful and Wild
Tie eagerly caught in his strong arms
And cla-ped iu them hisloyely child.
With a heart that almost ceased to beat,
He told her the cause his bitter grief
And the death she was doomed to meet.
MOI q word Of r,moustrance iid she speak,
But waited for the hour Of her death,
Witha spirit, patient, gentle and meek.
And when it had arrived at length
She quietly kneeleI on the funeral pile
With "a calmness stronger than human strength.
Sublgiu- with grace his opposing VIII,
The father ucrycd himself for The trial.
And babe bis aching heart be still
Covering her eyes from the sight ofdeath,
He piercel with his sword her heart.
and stopped forever her quickeniug breath.
She had no. fJr moment feared to die
And no groan escaped her, as her soul
Fled TO the blissful realms on high.
With agony deep but patient and mild
Low down underneath the sod
He laid his lovely martyred child.
And bending in reverence his feyerisb brow
Thanked God he had had strength
To faithfully keep his solemn VOW.

FREAKS or An EsC4PED LUNATIC. - The
freaks of madman, who escaped yesterday
from the lunatic asylum, created great ex-
citeme"t in the neighborhood of johnson
street The lunatic rushed wildly through
that street and was followed at some distance
by crowd Of persons who were anxious to
oyertake him and prevent him from doing in
Jury t, himself OF others. 1t appears, how
ever, tn he was bent on self-destruction,
rather than injury to others. for the unfor-
tunaIe creature pursued his course directly
through the street until he came to the pre-
cipitous and rocky embankments of Butter
milk Falls Here he made a leap into the
the stream, distance of sixteen feet, striking
on a rocky bed Of the stream, and thence
made another leap over the Falls, falling into
a pool of water below. Here he was quickly
followed by his pursuers, who succeeded in
rcscuing him from drowning. lie was, how
ever, found to be insensible from the effects Of
his terrible leap, and is so badly injured, in
ternally and otherwise, that it was supposed
he would die curing the day. He was placed
upon a stretcher and conveyed back to the
asylum. We did not learn his name.-AL
