A Drunken Man Runs Away witha
Locomotive.
From the Troy Tunes, sept. %.

On Saturday last the locomotive Arctic
was standing on the track of the Hudson
River Railroad at Poughkeepsie, awaiting
the arrival of the 9:45 \. NJ. train from
this city, which it was to conduct to New
York The fireman of the engine was a
recent employee of the road, and jumping
off the locomotive, repaired to a neighbor-
ing saloon. where he became not drunk,
but utterly wild and ungovernable with
liquor. The time for the arrival of the
train was fast approaching, and the engin-
eer, becoming alarmed.at the absence of his
fireman, got off the engine to look for him.
During his absence the fireman returned
and mounted the engine, and with one
desperate clutch, opened the throttle
which was to set the ponderous machinery
in motion. Away the Arctic sped with
the speed of the whirlwind. For a few
minutes all was CONSERVATION and excite
ment among the lookers-on. In moment
the engine with its maniac driver was out
of sight, bounding along over the track at
a rate utterly fearful to contemplate, and
suggesting most terrible disasters to such
unlucky trains as might be preceding it
on the track. What to do-how to stop
the mad career of the engine-were the
questions which presented themselves to
the railroad officials at Poughkeepsie.
There was but ono recourse, and that was
to telegraph to the station-master at New
Hamburg to throw open the switch at that
point and run the flying locomotive off the
track. But before the agent at that place
could execute the order, the Arctic came
tearing along at its greatest speed, passed
! +lo 4o%,, a,al
course like demon of destruction. Or
ders were sent ahead for the track to be
torn up, as it was determined that if pos
sible no one should be harmed by the
freaks of the madman but himself, neither
his life nor the value of the engine being
considered of the least account when the
lives of so many others were depending on
the result. Fortunately the engine was
stopped by causes within itself, rather
than by any of the measures suggested for
its overthrow and destruction. The en-
gineer at Poughkeepsie, when he left the
engine to look for his absent fireman, had
both pumps at work filling the boiler with
water. The fireman either did not know
how to shut off the flow of cold water, or
had overlooked, in his frenzy and excite
ment, the fact that the pumps were at
work. and neglected to shut them off, and,
after running about dozen miles, the
pressure of water upon the boiler was SO
great as to cause an overflow, the fires
went down, steam was exhausted, and the
engine stopped from the want of the neces-
,ary driving power. The fireman then
.ook the cushions from the engineers seat,
aid them down in the gutter alongside the
rack, and coolly deposited himself upon
hem for comfortable snooze. unmindful
IF the terrible excitement and apprehen-
lions of disasters he had caused along the
inc of the road. The engine was subse-
luently brought back to Poughkeepsie,
lone the worse for its mad journey, and
he faithless fireman was discharged from
he employ of the company.

From Fsttnani's Maga~ine for october.
Far-off young State rises, full of might;
paint its brave escutcheon. Near at hand
See the log-cabin in the rough clearing stand;
A woman by its door, with steadfast sight,
Trustful, looks Westward, where, uplifted bright
Some citys Apparition, weird and grand,
In dazzling quiet fronts the lonely land
With vast and marvellous structures wrought of

Motfonless on the burning cloud afar:-
The haunting vision of 4 time to be,
After the heroic age Is ended here,
Built on the boundless, still horizons bar
By the low sun, his gorgeous prophecy
Lighting the doorway of the pioneeri

"Stand Like an Anvil"

THE MESSAGE OF IGNATIUS TO POLYCARP.
= Stand like an anvil, - when the stroke
OF stalwart men falls fierce and fast
Storms but more deeply root the oak,
Whose brawny arms embrace the blast.
'tStand like an anvil, when the sparks
Fly far and wide, a fiery shower
Virtue and truth must still be marks
Where malice proves its want of power.
q Stand like an anvil - when the bar
Lies, red and glowing, on its breast
Duty shall be life's leading star,
And conscious innocence its rest.
I" Stand like an anvil, " when the sound
Ofponderous hammers pain the ear
Thine but the still and stern rebound
OF the great heart that cannot fear.
Stand like an anvil" +" noise and heat
Are born of earth, and die with time;
The soul, like God, its source and seat,
Is solemn, still, serene, sublime,

eminent, practical railroad men In the country,
who will also corroborate these statements from
personal knowledge. respectfully request.
therefore that the commissioners be instructed TO
include all these roads in their examination, and
TO report in detail the comparative qualities OF
each, and to any test Of this sort we viii cheer
fully submit, only asking TO be protected from
any unnecessary delays, which are IS hostile TO
the interests of the country aud the safety OF the
s.ttlemenis along our route as they would be IN
