The Rev. Nathanial Howe, of Hopkintou,
whom Longfellow has introduced into his

Pendertex." was once preaching to very

the east by birmingham. on the south by
Milford, on the west by Upton and by West.

rocky town with me; but would it not be quite

night watchuer, Who describe it G5 moving
with such solomnity and silence that .heir
very watches stop-or, rather, are paralyzed
into isaction es the dreadful train with ;ta
skeleton escort, gloomy, black banners and
soundless music goes gliding past The
silence is so deadly that real train, with
all its attendant crash and noise, will be 30
absorbed in it that it sweeps by as no;es-
lessly as shadow while the spell lasts
That story comes from the East from the
West we have another. Last March there
was killed, in an accident on the st. Paul
and Pacific Road, section foreman named
Connolly. He had been faithful work
man and greatly attached to his road. His
successor has for some time past been very
much annoyed by mysterious interference,
in the mislaying of tools, etc., and at times,
both by day and night, hc has been men,
aced and threatened by shadowy form,
which he recognizes as his predecessor.
The engineers of the road have also seen

imaginary snow banks through which they
can feel their engines plowing, hunts up
broken rails, and with an ethereal crowbar
prizes them up, and in many other ways

This story is told of a father who was
one evening teaching his little boy to recite
his Sunday school lesson. 1t was from the
fourteenth chapter of Matthew, wherein is
related the parable of malicious individ-
ual who went about sowing tares. "What
is tare I? Tell me, my son, what tare
is," said the anxious parent. "You had
'em." "Johnny, what do you mean ?"-
asked the father, opening his eyes rather
wide. "Why, last week, when you didn't
come home for three days." said Johnny,
sI heard mother tell Aunt Susan that you
were on tare." Johnny was immediate
ly sent to bed.

THE PLACE TO DIE.

How little recks it where men die, when once the
moments past,
In which the dim and glazing eye has looked on
earth its last,
Whether beneath the sculptured urn the cofined
form shall rest,
Or in its nakedness Ieturn unto its mothers
breast
Death is . common friend or fee. as different men
may hold,
And at its summons each Eust 70, the tmd and
the bold;
But when the spirit, free and warm deserts it, a.
il must,
What matter where the lifeless form dissolves
again to dust.
'Twe-e sweet indeed, to close our eyes with those
We cherish nea-,
And waited upward by their sighs, soar to some
calmer sphere.
But whether some scafold high, or in the bat
ties van,
The iittest place Ter man to die is where he dies
for man.

IT has been determined that the beautiful
cathedral at Strasbourg is to be completely
restored at cost of over $l25. 900. Much
of the masonry has to be rebuilt, and over
l,zOO panes Of glass are to be put in. The
famous clock is said to be uninjured, and on.
ly to require cleaning. During the siege q
she'll entered one of the windows and buried
itself in the organ without exploding. No e.-

it can be played, but it is not impossible that

NUISANCE TO TRAvKLHRs.
Although travellers westward are spared the
long dusty omnibus ride which they were for
merry compelled 20 take from the station in
Council Bluffs TO the Missouri river, and the
ferriage across that stream on the vheezy,
dirty, unsafe old steamboat which used to 90 duty
there, they are still subjected to considerable
annoyance at the Omaha crossing on account of
the unsettled quesuon as 70 the real eastern ter
minus OF the Union Pacific railroad. The COM
pany claim that il is on the west side of the
river, at Omaha, while the public IL not the
government holds that IL lies on the eastern
side. and that the bridge over the river is prop
eriy part of the line. Pending the settlement
OF the controversy, passengers are compelled TO
recheck their baggage az Council Bluffs, and
also to change cars az that point for Omaha,
where they are obliged to again change cars
and again check their baggage for the west.
For the present IL Is pretended that the bridge
is leased, and the transfer cars run by a person
named Holman, and charge Of City cents for
each passenger and seven dollars for each
freight car crossing the bridge Is made. Ii is
believed, however, that Holman only represents
the railway company, or an orgsniza tion within
that corporation, and that its members pocket
the money thus Illegally extorted. However
this may be, IL is certain that the nuisance
ought TO be abated at once, and that passengers
and baggage should be taken through from
Chicago to Omaha without change. Indeed
there is no good reason why baggage should
not be checked from the former city direct 10
Salt Lake city and San Francisco. This will
be done, doubtless, whenever another railway
line is opened across the continent. Until that
desirable work is accomplished, il is likely that
the shrewd management and cupidity Of the
corr GRAFTON will alike overreach the govern
ment wishes and disregard the convenience OF
the public IN the premises. X.
