LUcKY.-Speaking of lucky" or
fortunate people, our friend, Hiram
Smith, Esq, of Harrisburg, stands in
the front rank. Here is one instance of
his {: good luck -: Eight or ten months
ago, NJ. Smith had some two hundred
and forty nine head of cattle on his farm
near Harrisburg, when, the grass getting
short, they q broke " for better feed, and
strayed through the country in every di-
rection. Mr. Smiths neighbors advised
him to 'sgo for" them cattle right off,
otherwise he might expect to lose at
least half of them. He told them he
would " take the chances" on finding
them, and let them roam until about
three weeks since he concluded that the
grass was high enough, and the cattle
ought to be fattening on it, and he sad
died his cuitan and started out on the
hunt. In few days he had succeeded
in finding and driving home two hundred
and forty-seven head, leaving but two
yet out" And he would have got
those two if they had been !" branded. !"
When it comes to finding cattle &C High !"
can't be beat on the coast. g Luck's a
fortune" you know.

To NV wife.

Say, darling, did you never watch
The shadows that from the clouds do fall d?
And did you never try TO catch
These shadows on the wall?
As swiftly as such shadows fly,
Ny happy days have ever flown,
Fer since that day. when from on high
God spake your heart my own
A gentle stream, meath messy banks,
Has been Our life's sweet onward flow,
Begun with prayer and closed with thanks,
Our glad years come and go.
And when the hills of life shall cast
Long shadows in the vale below,
And that day of toll is past
Those lengthening shadows show
How blest were, if, hand to hand,
The solemn river just before,
We might together reach the strand
To cross our Jordan DER.
He lives not half a life whofiye
Himself his God and end in life.
lie lives threc-fold life who gives
Himself to God and life.

A strange story has got abroad in Ed
inburg recently, in regard to an aged
female pauper in the ST. Cuthbert's poor
house. The woman has been member
of the poor house tor good many years,
and, in addition to her other many mis-
fortunes, she has been afflicted with
blindness. Not long ago she was attack
ed with violent pain, such as the med
cal officers could not understand, far less
relieve. 1t lasted the whole of the night
and part of the following day, and was
described as of such a nature that it
threatened to " tear her eyes out" AT
last it reached its height, and the poor
woman for time was left in state of
semi-prostration; but, to her delight, as
soon as the pain had eased off, she found
that her eyesight had been restored
One can imagine the astonishmont of enc
of the officers when, shaking him heartily
by the hands, she said: g I have often
shaken hands with you before I have
often heard your voice and spoke to you,
but never have seen your face till this
morning"

RAILROADS IN THE UNITED STATES,
IA total of 1926. miles Of faiIroad
have been completed in the last forty
years and are now in operation in this
q untry, besides Is 900 additional miles
which are now in progress Of eosstrucs
tion. In short time this list will be
swollen to $4,000, ,which, taking $4,000
as the avarage cost per mile, would make
the capital Invested in railroads 10 this
country alone $4,000, 100000. The 15,-
900 miles Of railroad which England
owns cost an average of s160, 900 per
mile---total, ~, 500 ,O0Q, 900; while the
whole of the $4,000 miles in this coun-
try only cost $1,000, ,00O, 600. So while
we have three times as many miles Of
railway as England. we have paid
$500, ,0OO,0 900 less than she paid for
hers. In the last year, too, our earnings
for the same number of miles were
fully twice as much as those Of our EGG

LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS.

REsULT.-Albany municipal election
transpired on Monday the 9th inst, re-
sulting in the election of the entire Dem
ocratic ticket with but one exception
Chas. Riley (Republican), as Alderman
The election passed off quietly, very
little excitement or anxiety being mani
tested by members of either party in the
result. We speak more particularly OF
the Republicans, the mass of whom did
not seem to care whether g school kept or
not" The Democrats showed little OF
their old esprit and the "mellowness
of some of them toward the time for clos
ing the polls was marked. We have heard
some charges of Illegal voting, but at
this writing have no positive proof OF 1t.
The principal causes of our defeat are
to be charged to the general apathy gen.
orally manifested by Republicans, but
few showing any signs of interest, and
that other fact that a large number voted
" split ticket" Had the party come
out and voted the " straight ticket to
man, the whole Republican ticket would
have been elected by small majority.
Messrs. Stanard and Alexander got quite
a. number of Republican votes. A num-
ber of Republicans did not vote at all,
while Democrats who were absent from
the city were sent after, brought in and
voted, and taken back to their logging
camps. 1t cost some money, but the
Democracy saved their bacon " by such
little outlays, and get another lease of
one year in the control of the affairs OF
! this city. The Democracy polled their
full vote-as they always do, no matter
if it is only for a school clerk when
ever or wherever there is a chance to ex-
ercise the franchise, they're on hand. 1t
is blessed privilege they have, won by
the forefathers and preserved to them by
the great Union Republican party. But
a multiplication of words will not alter
the fact that we are g defeated commu-
nifty the Democracy have the control
of the city government for another year
