BE KIND.

Little children, bright and fair,
Blessed with every needfu care,
Always bear this thing in mind:
God commands US to be kind:
Kind not only to our friends,
They on whom our care depends;
Kind not only to the poor,
They who poverty endure;
But, in spite of form or feature,
Kind to every living creature.
Never pain or anguish bring
Even to the smallest thing;
For, remember that the fly,
Just as much as you or L,
Is the work of that great Hand
That hath made the sea and land;
Therefore, children, bear in mind,
Ever, ever, to "be kind

If WE WOULD.

If we would but check the speaker,
When he spoils neighbours fame,
If he would but help the erring,
Ere we utter words of blame;
If we would, how many might we
Turn from paths of sin and shame.
All! the wrongs that might be righted,
If we would but see the way!
All the pain that might be lightened
Every hour and every day,
If we would but hear the pleadings
Of the hearts that go astray.
Let us step outside the stronghold
Of our selfshness and pride;
Let us lift our fainting brothers;
Let us strengthen ere we chide;
Let Us, ere we blame the fallen,
Hold light to cheer and guide.
All, how blessed! ali, how blessed
Earth would be, if We but try
Thus to aid and right the weaker,
Thus to aid each brothers sigh;
Thus TO walk in duty's pathway,
To our better life on high.

A RIDE FOR LIFE.

There occurred on the Oregon and
California railroad, between this
city and Salem, one of the most
thrilling railroad incidents we have
ever heard Of. The following par
ticulars, furnished by an eyewitness
may be relied upon as true
When the down train came near
one of the stations on the road, it
was running at full speed, in order
to make up time, as it was a few
minutes behind. The road at this
point runs througha cut something
more than a mile in length, and in
entering it the road makes a curve
SO that the engineer cannot see en-
tirely through it. He had hardly
gotten into the cut before he saw q
woman riding leisurely through it,
and with perfect nonchalance using
the centre of the track. She was
not more than half way through the
the cut, and barely quarter Of a
mile ahead of him. He Immediately
whistled down brakes" and then
sounded the warning.
The woman, hearing the peculiar
death-whistle of the locomotive,
looked over her shoulder and saw
the train rushing at her. She did
not shrek, nor faint, nor give up all
hope, but, like a true Webfoot, her
courage rose equal to the emergency,
and without a moments hesitation,
she commenced swinging her riding
whip from one shoulder Of her steed
to the other, thereby urging him to
exert his utmost speed. The whip,
and perhaps the shreiking of the
steam whistle, caused the animal
ridden by the lady to do his best,
and he made about as rapid time as
any animal ever seen in Oregon;
but each instant the iron horse
gained upon the one composed of
blood and muscle.
The shrieking of the locomotives
whistle caused the passengers to
look out Of the windows and upon
their discovering what was the mat
ter the widest excitement ensued.
Several jumped forward and seized
the bell-rope, and commenced pull
ing it as if they could stop the
train by that means. The brake
men were exerting all their strength |
on the brakes, and the engineer
had cut off the connection and was
doing eli TIN! lie knew to stop the
train, while the woman was doing
her best to make that bit of horse
flesh rise to the speed of "Helm-
bold" but all in vain the loco
motive kept gaining on the horse
and its rider, and there was hardly |
a person on the train who did not /
ALL 10th the woman and
horse would be killed. !
There was perhaps thirty feet
intervening between the eowcatcher .
and the horses heels when, ttJr-
tunately for the woman, she OBJ
served a place which was a little
wider than usual and with a steady
rein, she guided the fleeing horse
from the track and endeavored to
press him against the wall OF the
cut in order that the train might
pass by without injury. In doing
this the woman was encouraged by
Mr.. Sam. Winans, the conductor,
who had run forward and had got
out on the locomotive. A few
seconds only passed by when the
fiery monster poked its nose past
the rump of the horse. At this
moment Mr.. Winans threw his
whole force against the animal and
held him until the train stopped,
and then a rousing cheer OF gratit-
cation and joy at the escape OF the
woman from a terrible death was
given.-Potland (Oyegon) Bulletin.
