The lives of hundred unconscious pas
sengers hung on the issue of the next min
ute. The ground trembled at the old wo-
mans feet. The great, red eye of the
engine burst upon her as it came around
curve. Like a huge, sharp-sight-
ed lion coming suddenly upon a FIRE, it
sent forth thrilling roar, that filed ali
the wild heights and ravines around The
train was at full speed but the breakman
wrestled at their leverage with all the
strength of desperation. The wheels
ground along on the heated rails slower
and slower, until the engine stopped at
the decaying fire. 1t still blazed enough
to show them the beetling ed ge of the
black abyss into which the train and all
of its passengers would have plunged, and
into a death and destruction too horrible
to think of, had it not been for the old wo-
mans signal. They did not stop to thank
her first for the deliverance. The conduc-
tor knelt down by the side of the engine
the engineer and the brakemen came and
knelt down by him all the passengers
came and knelt down by them and there
in the inspiring light of the burnt out pile.
in the rain and wind, they thanked God
for the salvation of their lives All in a
line the kneelers sent up prayers into the
dark heavens such a midnight voice of
thanksgiving as seldom, if ever, assembled
from the earth to him who seeth in dark
ness as well as in secret.
Kindness is the music of good will to
men and on this harp the smallest fin
gers may play heaven S sweetest tunes on
earth.-ElihI Burrett.

Compensation.
BY L. b. MOORE

As singing after silence is, or sun is after rain,
so may the lesson be that tells the bessedness Of
pain.
For only at the ending of the journes lies the ero~n
And none all itsIlight but they who on its light
look down.
Life's labor is never won, until it first be lost;
As priceless things most priceless are when bought
at priceless cost.
The sorrow and the SHINING that are Ger shall be
the way
That leads US from darkened past into bright
ening day.
Though still, as in the past, the night must come
before the morn,
The loest loves in sorrow still must deepest down
+ be born.
Not all on page ofsparchment, monumental
stone,
The records have been craven that the universe
hath known:
God still is writing gospels IN the lives of those that
sin;
Fen Gwhile their hearts refuse to let the gravers
chsel in.
Though all have sinned, and stm they sin, it shall
not be in vain
That any human heart has drunk the dregs Of hu-
pain,
or not the sky of life is dark with clouds of
woe,
While all misty mountain-tops clad in track
less snow;
The light shall shine out brighter, when last it
flashes through;
And evermore the old shall be the pathway of the
new.

Hints on Health.

Those persons in cities whose occupation
confines them to the house the greater part
of the time, when walking out should al
ways keep on the sunny side of the street.
| Food can make US cosmopolitan. Eat
fish with the Feejee, sour milk with the
Tartar, or tallow with the Esqulmaux, and
with the aid of intellect you may beat
each upon his own and his fathers ground.
No apparatus is at all equal to the uni
versal diffusion of inner warmth which
Matchmaking food produces. Stoves will
warm US in warm climates, but fire was
not used by DR.. Hayes in that ice desert,
thousand miles beyond any permanent
dwelling place, in that wonderful march
which will one day get into mythology as
a thirteenth labor of Hercules.
The habit to which persons generally
are most prone Is to bend forward when
walking. This has not only bad effect
upon the health, but detracts from the ap-
pearance The natural position of a man
is an erect one, and any deviation there
from is sure to be punished by nature, who
will not have her laws transgressed. To
maintain or regain an erect position is very
easily accomplished, by keeping the eyes
fixed on some elevated object when walk
ing, and not allow the gaze to be turned
downward.
All consumptive people, and all afflicted
with spinal deformities, sit habitually
crooked, in one or more curves of the
body. There was time In all these when
the body had its natural erectRess, when
there was not the first departure on the
road to death The make of our chairs,
especially that great barbarism, the un-
wieldy and disease engendering rocking
chair, favors these diseases, and undoubt-
edly, in some instances, leads to bodily
habits from which originate the ailments
Just named.
Brain workers of all classes especially
need to study the art of breathing. Amid
the rush and whirl of our nervous civiliz-
alton we are often in danger of starving,
not for want of food, but for want of oxy-
gen. To breathe well and plentifully,
under our artificial system of life, requires
special study and attention, Just as much
as it does to eat well and abundantly. In
order to breathe well there is need of good
lungs and a general vigorous condition.
This can only be maintained by activity of
mind as well as of body, by resting the
faculties through variations of employ
ment, by abundance of sleep and food,
superadded to faithful and joyous cuiti-
walton of the moral nature.
Potatoes, turnips, carrots, etc., are not
only less digestible than fresh beef and
mutton, but they are also less nutritious.
They lipger longer on the stomach, and
being composed mostly of water, give less
nutriment to the system. Therefore, many
who cannot digest vegetables at all, can
eat with relish and assimilate beefsteak,
mutton, lamb, chicken, turkey, ETC., with
out difficulty Chronic invalids and dys-
peptics should, as a rule. eat largely of
fresh fish and meat, and very moderately
of vegetables.

Belle AIden'S Travelling Bag.

A train bound for St. Louis had just left
the depot at Belefontaine when a gentleman
entered the smoking car, and laid his hand
upon the shoulder of his travelling compan-
ion-a tall, handsome man Of thirty, who
sat musingly blowing rings Of smoke into
the air.
Marcy said the newcomer if you
want 20 see at once the sweetest and sad
est sight you ever behed, 20 into the last
car but one on the train There's an en-
igrant German woman, with four little
children, and during the afternoon the
youngest, baby, has died. The mother
and the other children are inconsolable.'
i can understand, interrupted the
smoker, the sadness Of such a scene ; but
where is the sweetness you spoke of
I'm coming to that. The whole party
have been taken in charge by a young la
dy Such a beauty She's dried the
mothers tears, and wiped the children's
noses. She's a divinity She only needs
few feathers on her shoulder-blades to
make a full fedged angel of her. If was
not a married man, I'd never leave her till
I'd made Mrs. Angelica Townsend out OF
her
That's a speech which l shall faithfully
report to Mrs Agnes Townsend said the
gentleman addressed as Marcy, rising. L
Shall 20 back and feast my eyes on this
beautiful Sister of Charity and he added,
taking his satchel and shawl from the rack,
as we stop at the next sration' which Is
due in ten minutes, l may as well take my
traps with me and join you on the plat
form.
Thus saying, Richard Marcy threw his
shawl over his shoulder, and sauntered
leisureIy through the long train-rushing
blindly and calmly to his fate. For as ne
entered the last car but one he became a
witness and an actor in scene that intiu-
enced his whole future life.

Curing OFF THE WRONG HEAD.-An
old farmer was out one day looking over
his broad acres, with an axe on his shoul-
der and small dog at his heels. They
espied woodchuck The dog gave chase
and drove him into a stone wall, where
action Immediately commenced. The dog
would draw the woodchuck partly out
from the wall, and the woodchuek would
take the dog back. The old gent eman' s
sympathy getting high on the side of the
dog, thought he must help him. So put
himself in position with axe above the dog
waited for the extraction of the wood
chuck, when he would cut him down. So
an opportunity offered and the old man
struck, but the woodchuck gathered up at
the same time, took the dog in far enough
to receive the blow, and the dog was kill
ed on the spot. For years after, the old
gentleman in relating the story would al
ways add: And the dog don't know to
this day but what the woodchuck killed
him

How To BE NoBoDY.-It is easy to be
nobody, and we will tell you how to do it.
Go to the drinking saloon to spend yonr
leisure time. You need not drink much
now; Just a little beer or some other drink.
In the meantime play dominoes, checkers,
or something else to kill the time, so that
you will be sure not to read any useful
beck. If you do read, let it be the dime
novels of the day. Thus go on, keeping
your stomach full and your head empty,
and yourself playing time-killing games
and in few years you'll be nobody, unless
as is quite linely, you should turn out
drunkard or professional gambler, other

In an upper apartment Of a handsome
mansion in St. Louis on the evening Of the
day our heroine first made the readers
acquaintance, beautiful Belle Alden, the
petted and only daughter Of the house sat
contemplating the various articles her con-
fidential maid was disposing Of on the ia
ble-articles taken from no less Il recepta-
Gle than Dick Marcy's travelling bag.
The cards lay side by side, and highly
scented party they were.
What's in the little silver flask, Rosa :?
said the fair mistress.
Brandy, ma am, replied the maid.
He can't be very dissipated, to travel
with such little bottle That's in case of
sickness, suppose returned Belle.
1t is my belief, said Rosa, who was a
shrewd girl, that the gentleman was a
mighty nice one, else you'd not so readily
excuse the cards and the bottle.
For shame, Rosa. All gentlemen play
euchre travelling, and even clergymen take
a little brandy in case Of sickness, Rosa.
And this man was a gentleman, and a
liberal one, too, for he gave the poor emf
grant woman ten dollars. What's that
Rosa.
For, at that moment, Rosa held between
her fingers letter.
Whether it was wrong to read a stran-
gers letter vexed Belle but for a moment,
as her eyes glanced at the superscription
and handwriting.
Why of all things exclaimed the
delighted girl, seizing the letter. Why,
Rosa, this is Jennie Marcy's writing, and
addressed to Richard Marcy-her only
darling brother-who was in Europe when
we two graduated at Madam Ritter's in
Brooklyn.
Belle read rapidly till she had reached
the middle of the letter, when she burst
into a merry laugh.
Hear this, Rosa she said, and she read
from the letter:
