Dew Drops OF Wisd q M.

Alteration is a greater enemy to the face
than smallpox.
The faults that are committed through
excess Of kindness, it requires small kind
ness to excuse.
Leisure is sweet to those who have earn
ed it, but burdensome to those who get it
for nothing.
Repentance without amendment is like
continual pumping In ship, without
stopping the leak.-Palmer.
Nothing so adorns the face as cheerful
ness. When the heart is in flower, its
bloom and beauty pass to the features.
Good words, like the golden earrings of
the Israelites, are valuable in themselves;
but if once erected into golden calf, to be
worshiped and relied upon, are damningly
pernlclous.
The mere lapse Of years is not life.
knowledge, truth, love, beauty, goodness,
faith, alone can give vitality to the me-
chanism Of existence.
\ human soul without education, is like
marble in the quarry, which shows none of
is inherent beauties until the skill Of the
polsher brings out the colOrs, makes the
surface shine, and discovers every orna-
mental cloud, spot and vein that runs
through the body of it. Education, after
the same manner, when it works upon a
noble mind, draws out every latent virtue
and perfection, which, without such helps,
are never able to make their appearance.
Manners are of more Importance than
laws. rpon them in great measure, the
law depends. The law can touch us here
and there, now and then. Manners are
what vex, or soothe, exalt or debase, by a
constant, steady, uniform, insensible opera
ton, like that of the air we breathe in.
They give their whole form and color to
our Ives. According to their quality they
aid morals; they supply them or they to-
tally destroy them

places along the road, and in different
shapes. One night last week, after the
Philadelphia express, Tyrone, left the sta
ton, his satanic majesty got on the engine
with Sol lIofmaSter. He looked around
for moment. then taking the poker from
the fireman, opened the fire door and stir
red the fire. at the same time sticking his
feet in. He then sat down stretch
inSout his immense legs and
laid ii between his cloyen hoofs. Some
times wings could be seen about his shout
ders. lie was very particular about the
fire. Sometimes he would put his head in
the iire-box ana look around, then throw
in his tail, stirring the fire at rapid rate
b this time he had got warmed up, and so
had the engineer and fireman, who were
nearly scared to death. The engine was
making about thirty-fve miles an hour
when the devil picked up the oil can, went
out and oiled the locomotive in all its parts.
He then returned, and requested Mr. Hof-
master to slack up and let him off ut bridge
No. 5; bat Mr.. II. told him he might get of
the same way he got on. The machine was
then running at fearful rate of speed,
and Mr.. Devil stepped to one side and dis
appeared.
We learn since thata phantom train was
seen in the vicinity of the Gap Some
nights ago David Wayne engineer of Al,
had stopped for some purpose, when a
train was heard approaching at q rapid
rate. knowing there was no train due at
that hour, schedules were examined care
fully, but the stranger could not be made
cut. At length it came laundering around
the curve with an immense headlight and
other equipments. The conductor, ii.
Bell, engineer, fireman and brakeman all
saw and heard the train coming The
dagman, John n. Newell Immediately
went back with a light and placed signal
caps upon the rails. The phantom train
came, making the usual noise. and lighting
up the whole track with its huge lurid
glare, when in a twinkiing the whole thing
disappeared. Some say it was old Amos
Clemson's trsin-the notorious leader of
the Gap gang, who died several years ago
and that he was aboard swinging red
light furiously.
John Filbv.t engineer of the Lancaster
train, informs us that when approaching
Pequea bridge, some nights ago he saw the
devil on the cowcatchcr of his engine. lie
was running at the rate OF thirty miles an
hour. He quickly shut OF the steam and
slacLonHd ap, but could not see anything
more of the strange object. These stories
are creating great deal of comment
among railroad men. We give them as
told to us, and leave the readers to draw
their own conclusions"

IS The Lord said unto MOsc0."

A late minister Of Crossmichacl in Galo-
way, Scotland, whose sermons were much
in the style of an easy conversation, in
terspersed with occasional parenthesis,
applicable to individual characters, or to
the circumstances which arose before his
eyes in the church, said one Sunday morn
ing, in reading a verse from the book Of
Exodus: And the Lord said unto
Moses-steek that door I'm thinking il
We had to sit beside the door yourself, 70
wadna be sac ready leaving it open. Ia
was Just beside that door that Yodam.
Hanson, the bellman, gat his death o'cauld;
and I'm sure, honest man, he didna let it
stay muckle open. And the Lord said
unto Moses-put DOT that doug. Wha is't
that brings dougs to the kirk, yaffyafin !
Let me never see We bring your dougs here
any mair, or I'll put you and them bath
out. And the Lord said unto Moses-I
see a man aneath that Taft, wi his hat or.
I'm sure we're clesn out o the soogh o
the door: keep aft your bannat, Tammas;
and, if your bare pow be cauld, ye maun,
Just get gray worset wig like myself;
they're no sac dear; plenty o them at
Rob Gillespie's for ten pence" He again
began the verse, and at last made out tho
instruction for Moses in a manner moro
strictly accordaut with the text.--Ex-

Thrilling EnCiicUt-KEoSv Al Great
Disaster WAS AVeEteG.

The single pieces Of the top cord Of the
new bridge weighs ten thousand pounds
each. The way they have been raised to
position heretofore has been 10y wrapping
a fifth chain" four times around the
piece to be elevated when a crab gently
lifted them up with pulleys and a wire rope
tackle. Two pieces so up at time. Late
on Tuesday afternoon one Of the pieces had
been raised almost to the height il tended,
when the links III the chain about it were
heard to snap. The men below fed from
their places, while those above could do
Little more than stand aside and await the
result. Foreman Archer, who was on an
other portion of the bridge, ran to the
scene Of terror, and saw al glance the
cause Of the fright. Links in three of the
coils about the cord had snapped in two,
leaving that weight Of five tons suspended
by single wrap Of ordinary chain. 1t
wouldn' 10 to lower tie cord, for the i'm
pctus would be sufficient to tear the slight
attached assunder. Archer threw ropes to
the men at the top, and three of these per-
sons clImhered to the suspended cord, put
the ropes around it, dashed it to the false
work above, and thus relieved the strain on
the chain. Then the cord was lowered,
wire rope was substituted for the chain, the
piece was hauled up again and put in posi-
ton.
Had that piece Of chain broken, the false
work would have given way under 1t, and
gone down with crash, 1t is the opinion
Of Mr.. Archer that only the timbers direct
ly under the chord would have broken, and
that the rest of the false work and the span
would have stood firm. Others differ with
him, and think the whole span, wood, iron,
and all, would have gone down in ruin, in
volving a loss of about $4,000 and the
lives of score CT men. However, It's tor
tunatc that the links Of that remaining
liece Of chain had strength enough to allow
this difference of opinion.

THE story is told Of an old farmer who
loved mischief, and did not love neigh
boring deacon. With gang of rougish
boys in the neighborhood he was on most
friendly terms, though he took good caro-
never directly to encourage them in their
youthful pranks. But he thoroughly un-
derstood them, and they knew him. One
evening he met them just starting out on
lark, and addressed them in stern tones.
said, Boys, tell you not to put the dea-
cons wagon on the roof of his barn, to
night ?" And, then, as if an afterthought,
lust as they were moving of in the d.

[From the New York Herald. !

BERLIN, FEB. 3.-Small pox ravages
throughout this continent, and especially
IN this metropolis, where, during 1871,
the number of deaths from this loathsome
disease exceeded 5000, gathering victims
from all ranks Of society, has naturally
prompted physicians to search energetically
the realm of t cir art for remedies to
check the disease in its course, Instead oil
mearely supporting the patient, as has been
the practice hither to. The most success
full of the jealous Esculapians in the search
whose opportunities for experimenting and
observing are of the best, he being the
chief director of the small pox department
in the Royal Charlie, we have FASTENED tc

facts concerning his discovery.
DIR. W. Zuelizer, native of Breslau

sique, and broad, heavy German face and
brow, received us very politely, and at once
expressed bis readiness to favor us with
the desired information.
