Heroism.

All heroes are not developed at the
cannons mouth by any means. They
are to be found every day in the week
doing humbly but grandiy their duty.
These are they who uncomplainingly
lift the burdens Of life aud bear them
with unta altering step. They stand .:
the bedside OF tie sick aud minister
to the sufferers. They take the buffet
ings Of fortune with patient endurance.
They remain at their post, i not n
the imminent deadly BREACH at
least in all places where responsibility
rests upon them. Who has not seen
heroism OF the highest type manifested
by those in charge Of railroad train
With rapidly revolving wheels, the
cars rush over the track. Trees
fences, fields, houses and telegraph
poles pass before the eye in bewilder
ing succession! The passengers, seat.
ed quietly, rest in fancied security.
when suddenly there falls upon t;le
startled ear the shrek of danger from
the brazen throat of the steel-nerved
horse. Full well do those familiar with
| these warming sounds understand what
possibilities are involved. But the en-
gineer, whose eye takes in the extent
of the psril, even though the yawning
chasm is just ahead, or 3 swiftly ap.
preaching train threatens him with an
instant death, stands resolutely at his
post until he has done whatever lies in
his power to avert the catastrophe
The brakesmen fly to the platform al
+! the first intimidation of danger; and
, although they are fully aware that in
the event of crash, their position is
one of peril, there is no hesitation, nc
hiuching on their part. Who will say
that these men who so courageously
perforra the task assigned to them are
rot of heroic mould? We profess to
