FATAL RAILRoAD ACCIDENT.-A Faithful
Dog.-Nathan Denny, watchman at War
rior's Ridge station. a man somewhat past
middle age, and who has been in the employ
of the Pa. Il. 4. Co. ever since the road has
been in operation, was run over by the Gin
cinnati Express west, on Saturday morning
last, aud instantly killed. In connection
with the sad death of Mr.. Denny the Altoo-
ma Sun relates the following:
An incident connected with the tragic death
of Nathan Denny. who was killed on Saturday
morning by the Cincinnati Express west, at
Warriors Ridge, illustrates the fidelity OF the
canine race in truly forcible and pathetic
manner. When the body of Mr. Denny was
discovered, his faithful dog was found by his
side with a broken back, showing that he had
risked his own life in order to save his master
from the jaws of death. Aud when the per-
sons who discovered the body of his master at
tempted to remove it, the broken backed dog,
nearly dead as he was, manifested such de-
gree of feTocity that it was found impossible to
approac ch him. After repeated efforts to Sc
cure tie body had failed it was found neCessa-
~ to shoot the faithful sentinel, and he breath
ed out his faithful life on the body of his dead
master. What a commentary on mans hdel-
ity.

Breaking it Easy.

When the lamented Judge Bagley
tripped and fell down the courthouse
stairs and broke his neck, it was great
question how to break the news to poor
Mrs. Bag ley. But finally the body was
put into Higgins wagon, and he was in
structed to take it to Mrs. B., but to be
very guard ed and discreet in his language
and not to break the news to her at once
but do it gradually and gently. When
Higgins got there with his sad freight.
he shouted till Mrs Bagley came to the
door. Then he said
docs tn e widder Bagley live here ?"
"The a9i 1Oao Bagley? No sir"
cpl bet she does. But have it YOUR
own way. Well, does Judge Bagley live
here %
eyes, Judge Bagley lives here"
"Pll bet he don't. But never mind,
it amt for me to contradict. Is the
judge in?"
No, not at present"
81 jest expected as much. Because
you know take hold O. suthin, mum, for
I'm agoin t } make little communication
and reckon maybe it'll jar you some.-
There's been an accident, mum. I've
got the old judge curled up out here in
the wagon--and when you see him you'll
acknowled, ge yourself, that an inquest is
about the only thing that could be COM
fort to him."

Have yon pulled up the Anchor3

We have heard story of two drunken
sailors who had to cross a Scotch firth M
night They leaped into the boat, and
pulled away at the oars with all their
might; they pulled and pulled, and won
dered they did not reach the shore. In
their maudlin state they thought the tide
was set against them, and so, in wild
fashion, they took spells of pulling, but
no shore did they reach. Great was
their astonishment; for the firth was
narrow, and quarter of an hour should
have seen them at the opposite beach.
" Surely" they said, the boat is be-
witched, or We" The night wore on,
and the morning light explained the mys-
terry to their sober eyes Why, Sandy,
mon, we never pulled up the anchorl"
just so and thus, tug as they might,
they labored in vain.
Many and many sinner has been in
like case. He has tried to believe, always
a strange thing to do, but all his trying
has come to nothing; peace has been as
far off as ever. The means of grace have
been unavaiing, prayer has brought no
answer of joy, the man has been ready to
despair, and blamed fate and the devil,
and thousand other things Meanwhile
the real cause of the souls long delay has
been unnoticed the heart has never real
ly loosed its hold Of its selfrightcous
hopes-never fairly pulled up the anchor
and trusted itself to Jesus. Reader, how
is it with you? Have you heaved the
anchor? Have you done with self? If
not, all your efforts are idle, all your
prayers and tears are fruitless, and you

but Jesus, and you will soon be at the
desired haven.

the traces off short, and he shot forward
against the fence, his head striking the
end of rail with the force of mule.
" Thunderation old woman p he excaim-

his eyes, "why didn't you say ao-h-o-a ?"
