Fast trains can only be run when the
stoppages to take in water are at long
intervals. One of the English methods
of feeding locomotives is exceedingly
effective, and is about being introduced
in this country. At the Montrose sta
ton, the Hudson River railroad has laid
down in the center of the track per-
fectly straight trough lined with paint
ed sheet iron, 200 feet long, 15 inches
deep, and Is inches wide. This trough,
holding 1900 gallons, is kept constant
ly supplied with water from q spring.
To the tender of the locomotive, be-
tween the hind truck is attached semi
circular pipe, with the nozzle so arrang-
ed as to drop down into the trough at
the will of the engineer. The nozzle is
directed towards the point the locomo-
tive is going, and it sinks to depth of
two inches in the trough. 1t is stated
that when the train is running at the
rate of thirty miles an hour, the nozzle
is dropped into the trough, 1,634 gallons
of water will be forced into the tender
before the entire length of the trough
has been passed over.

FIRST CELEBRATION OE THE FOUFTH
NEAR ARKANSAS CITY.
BIZ EsrHER 3. BRIDGE.

By ESTHER II. BRIDGE.
Near Arkansas restless waters,
Where tall trees youchsafe their shade,
Meath our banner and their branches,
Was our first Grafton made
First, for on this frontier border,
This was our first, "Glorious FOURTH
And we doubt If crowded masses
Fer heard speech of greater worth.
Than this one, so full OF interest
To our small but loyal band,
Who now bravely dare each danger
To win ''sweet Home'' on this land
This land where each perfect feature
Speaks language to the heart,
Wildly sweet. Ahi truly, Nature
Is more eloquent than art.
Here are small, dark green groves dotting
Swelling prairies, proud and high,
While along our two grand rivers
Deep tree borders cheer the eye.
Sparkling springs of purest water
Out the rocky lodges glide,
Rocky Lodges, in whose caverns
Darkest mysteries may hide.
All! 'twould fill pondrous volume,
The description Of this place
Truest pencil can ne'er portray
Half its winning, beauteous grace;
And the spot where we assembled,
Meath our banner and the shade,
Where we held our celebration,
Is most enchanting glade,
Where the birds have trilPd and warbled
Many gladstone, cheering Lay,
And they gave us their sweet chorus
On our celebration day.
Brayely blending their pure voices
With the songs our choice choir sung,
Melody sublimely charming,
Through those leafy arches rung;
And we more than half expected
To at last catch one slight glimpse,
Fitting 'mong the distant shadows,
Maids, Fsys or shy wood nymphs.
While the sylvan waltz was swelling,
Trembling sweetly on the air,
Maybe they, in some dark arbor,
Were enjoying dancing rare.
ALL who knows?-but to our story
OF our undergraduates Day.
Thanks were offered, and q blessing
Craved, to help US on our way,
And guidance, too, from that power,
Just and perfect, true, and high,
On which, through our struggles
For success, we must rely.
Speeches from full minds outweliing,
Prayer and songs, and music sweet,
Wild birds greeting, trees and banner,
Finely blending, all complete;
Happy faces, smiles most genial,
Sparkling water, with good fare,
We would ask, what celebration
Can with this, our first, compare!
Wen not tell much of our city,
Or the hill, on which it stands;
How it overlooks, most proudly,
Beauties rare from Natures hands.
Come and see, there's no vain Boosting,
When we say this Eden place
Has few equals, East or Westward,
On the earth's broad, varied face.

A HYMN IN A GAMBLING HE'LL.

A Hong Kong correspondent of the
Boston NetcS tells an interesting incl
dent. He had been entrusted with pack
ages for a young man, from his friends
in the United States, and after inquiry,
learned that he might probably be found
in gambling house. He went thither,
but not seeing him. determined to wait,
in the expectation that he might come
in. The place was bedlam of noises,
men getting angry over their cards, and
frequently coming to blows. Near him
sat two men-one young, the other forty
years of age. They were betting and
drinking in terrible way, the elder one
giving utterance continually to the foul
est profanity. Two games had been
finished, the young man losing each
time. The third game, with fresh bot
tie of brandy, was just begun; and the
young man sat laZily back in his chair
while the elder shuffied the cards. The
man was long time dealing the cards,
and the young man, looking carelessiy
about the room, began to hum a tune.
He went on, till at length he began to
sing the beautiful lines of Phoebe Cary:
"One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me DER and DER.
I'm nearer to my Fathers house
Than Pve ever been before"
"Nearer the bound of life,
Where We lay our burdens down.
Nearer leaving my cross,
Nearer wearing my crown"
AT first, says the writer, these words
in such vile place, made me shudder.
A Sabbath School hymn in a gambling
den! But while the young man sang,
the dealer stopped dealing the cards,
stared at the singer a moment, and
throwing the cards on the floor, ex-
claimed:
"Harry, where did you learn that
tune 2"
"What tune?"
"Why, the one you were just singing"
The young man said he did not know
what he had been singing; when the
elder repeated the words, with tears in
his eyes, and the young man said he
had learned them in a Sunday School
in America.
"Come," said the elder, getting up !;
"come, Harry, here's what I've won
from you, go and use it for some good
purpose. As for me, as God sees me,
have played my last game, and drank
my last bottle. l have misled you,
Harry, and L am sorry. Give me Your
hand, my boy, and say that for old
Americas sake, if for no other, you
will quit this internal business"
The writer saw these two men leave
the gambling house together, and walk
| away arm-in arm.

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.

A dusty looking traveller turned in at the
great gate, and pa -ed up the walk leading
to the Hayward farmhouse.
There was nothing prepo7se2sing in his
appearance. The clothes he wore, though
not of coarse material, were yet secdy and
threadbare; and his hat, fashioned quar-
ter of century before, showed long and
close acquaintance with sunshine aud
storm. lie was quite DID, too, although he
stepped quite nimbly up the gravel walk,
though tired, for he had tramped many
miles under the broiliug heat of that July
sun. Withal, there was look of shrewd-
ness aud knowledge of the world that
seemd to belle his INDECENT appearance.
He glanced about him at the well-cul-
tivatcd fields, the comfortable dwelling the
commodious barn and the numerous out
houses, and muttered:
"Very well situated, whoever they are
] will stop and rest awhile, if they will al
low such rag gshag in the house."
And the last thought seemed to afford
him immense pleasure.
lie walked up to the front door, which
was open; but the sound of voices within
drew his attention, aud he stopped, with
his hands yet raised to rap
"John Hayward, Tn ashamed Of you!"
spoke harsh, metallic, female voice.
"Ihat my son should SO forget himself as
to stoop to even look at my hied help

knows that Harriet Sinclair is nothing but
beggar, at the best. and how do we know
that she is even as good as that? Yet you
persist in seeing something attractive about
her. For my part, do not see how you
can even look at her, while that splendid

door. "Breezy! l do not like this caves

and calm, yet determined, 81 will overlook
