HEROIC ACT.-A few months ago, an
engineer of an express train on the Penn
sylvania Central Railroad, going west,
discovered an engine approaching him at
such rate of speed that he was at once
convinced that it was without an engineer.
He instantly whistled his brakes down, at
the same time sending his fireman back
to uncouple his slender from the train,
while he at the same moment uncnupIed
his hose'and engine, and opening his throt-
tie wide, with his red flag jumped back
on his tender. He just looked back and
saw his train nearly stopped, and on dash
ed the two engines toward each other like
very demons. He broke up gently on
his tender, and finally stopped it, and in
breathless silence watched for the collision.
The engines came together, throwing each
other clear off the track, and smashed all
10 pieces. He left his tender, and with
his flag ran on to meet the express going
east. 1t being two minutes behind time,
he had just time to ''fag it, and it was
brought to stop within q few feet of the
wrecked engines, and one of those terrible
accidents was avoided For this heroic
act the Company presented him with a
check for 81 900.

when up went the rope again the doctor
came along, and it fell out as we have
seen.
And now for the tale of Providence.
Had Mr.. Gray been riding, he must have
been thrown backwards from his horse
had the gig been in good repair, then the
five inches in height would have made all
the difference. Instead of a rap on the
forehead and the loss of the hat, it would
have been for others to tell how the tra-
velers were caught under the chin and
flung senseless TO the ground while, in
either case, the razor and the bludgeon
would soon completed the business.
But the strangest part is still to be told
On the following morning the veterinary
surgeon was called in to attend the horse
He could see no trace of injury, and on
leading the animal from the stable he pro-
nounced the lameness to have disappeared
completely so the doctor at once resumed
his riding, consigning once more the gig
to the hands of Mr. Freeman. No won-
der, then, that he should speak of Provi-
dence in the matter, and when relating
the story to eager ears, show how he
owed his life to the strange combination
of the neglect of coach builder and the
lameness, for a few hours only, of his
horse. Deep, too, was the impression
made in the whole neighborhood as the
tale flew from place to place. Little ex-
cursions would be made to the trees, on
which the constable had cut conspicuous
mark; and the country lads, as they
drove their horses along the lane, would
! be heard to remark ''That's where the
rope was tied"
But now a generation has passed away,
and with it the whole of the actors in this
scene of real life. The very trees have
perished too. They could not be found
when the writer, five years ago, visited
the well-remembered spot. There wa:
the ditch wherein the man lay hid, afraid
to face the surgeon and his penknife but
the two trees with others on each side ot
the road had vanished from their places
1t was reported that the convict ship
was lost in the passage out, and the threat
of Robert French, as he passed the house,
committed for trial, that he would ''be
even with the doctor yet" passed away
! luiy, except III lne eellSe LhdL beatu uaS
also laid his hand on the two witnesses il
the case, for the doctor and his groom
both sleep in the old church-yard of tht
little market town.
Humble is the doctors Eeadstone
Reaching the highest honors of his pro-
fession, and retiring from practice success
ful, beloved and regretted, he continued
throughout life a simple-minded man,
the same firm believer in the overwatch
ing, overruling Providence that brough
him safely through the dangers of tha
eVentful night.

OruERs. are folks who can
never look at any one else in their own
walk of life without some latent reference
to themselves. They instantly Institute
a comparison. And this introduces a
disturbing element which makes their es-
innate of the other person of no value.
They are looking on the other person
through spectacles strongly tinged with
green; perhaps with yellow. If you de-
sire TO form sonnd and right estimate
of any one whose work is the same as
yours, or may be regarded as a competi-
tor for the same kind of standing, you
must for the time forget yourself altogeth-
er. But there are people who have it not
in them to form an impersonal and un-
selfish estimate Of another. They never
think that the other man is six feet high,
or seven, as the case may be bat that
he is so many inches taller or shorter than
they are. They never think the man is a
very clever man, or a very stupid man;
but that he is not so clever as they are or
stupider than they are. Such are the
human beings who are Disconnected unless
they are recognized as cock of the walk.
In selecting their associates they do not
want equal companions but humble at
tendants.

STIMULANT. T.-George d. Prentice has
been constant drinker for forty years.
For ten years he has been a drinker OF
the ignum-vite order. Here is a tenn
perance lecture by him, worth score, at
least, of the exhortatlous and misreprescu-
tltions by the class of reformers who pro-
pose to accomplish their work by force:
There is time when the pulse lies low
in the bosom and beats low in the veins
when the spirit sleeps the sleep which,
apparently, knows no waking sleeps in
its house Of clay, and the windows are
shut, the doors hung with the invisible
Grape of melancholy when we wish the
golden sunshine Pitchy darkness, and wish
clouds where no clouds be. This is a
state of sickness, when physic may be
thrown TO the dogs. for we want none of
it. What shall raise the spirits L! What
shall make the heart beat music again,
and the pulses through all the myriad
thronged balls in the house of life 1? What
shall make the sun kiss the eastern hills
again for US, with all his old awakening
gladness and the nights overflow with
moonlight, love and flowers Love it.
self is the greatest stimulent, the most in
toxicating Of all, and performs these mira
cles, and is miracle itself, and is not at
the drug store, whatever they say. The
counterfeit is in the market, but the wing
ed god is not money-chauger we assure
you.
Men have tried many things, but still
they ask for stimulant.
Men try to bury the floating dead of
their own souls in the wine>cup, but the
corpse rises We see their faces in the
bubbles. The intcxication of drink sets
the void whirling again, and the pulses
to playing music, and the thoughts gallop-
ing, but the first clock runs down sooner,
and an unnatural stimulant only leaves the
house it filed with the widest revelry,
more silent, more sad, more deserted.
There is only one stimulant that never
intoxicates--duty. Duty puts clear
sky over every man into which the sky
happiness ALWAYS goes singing.
