a Ride on a Locomotive.

"Could we ride with the dIiver?"
"You won't find it SO pleasant as you
imagine, but you can try it,"
The conductor signals, the engineer
grasps one of the mysterious levers which
puts him en- rapport with the modern
behemoth, and the docile monster whisks
away as if rejoicing iii the ligh,ness of
the play-day train behind him. As our
speed increases We become painfully
aware that we are not on springs. The
easy spring OF the car does not pertain
to tie locomotive, which jumps TO its
work with rioting, trampling, trip
hammer energy that disdains the
thought OF ease and softness. We cannot
keep our feet, and find it hard TO keep
the high and narrow slippery seat, with
nothing To hold Oh to. The speed seems
terrific, The country 10 longer gldes
away from US with drifting mott Ont
rushes on us like thunderbolt. The
trees ard houses have whirling motion,
fl rec, tumptuous, maddening, as though
hurled towards vortex from which we
are momentarly escaping. Ins,inctively
we shrink as the track cuts under US, and
the huge rocks by the wayside seem fly
ing ut us.
Ahead is curve, What is beyond it ?
We watch the disclosing line with
peculiar fascination, for terrible possibili-
lies are ever just out of sight. Gradually
our senses become used TO their new
experience, and we are willing TO forego
our useless vigilance. On the right the
river flows like n river in vision.-
noiseless, swift, and strangely calm. On
the left The hills waltz and reel, bearing
down on the track like an endless
avalanche, Above, the fiery clouds
betoken the close OF brilliant day, but
1t makes US dizzy to look at them. 1t is
pleasanter to study the steady poise OF
the driver Alert, selfpossessed, unpre,
tending, he sees every inch of the track
by flashes of observation, let's out or
restraius the needless energy of his all
but living engine, and holds the lives of
us all with grasp us true as it is seeming
ly unconscious. We plunge into the
shadow Of Kittatinny Mountain, pierce
the point Of rocks that projects INTO the
river, and stop amid a confusion Of back
ing trains, shreking engines, and the
shouts of trackmen. We are at Bridge
port, and as soon as the bridge is clear
we shall cross TO Harrisburg.
81 shall have realizing sense of my
obligation TO the engine-driver, after

we climb down from the locomotive.

was compelled to join his brothers.
Miss Eva was not visible at the break

and Sam. who seemed TO take the entire

lovely, and Of course blushed divinely
when presented by Mrs. Carpenter to her
three brothers, who behaved very well,
considering the unpleasautness Of the
situation.
Bat Sam, who had broken the ice By

The Rights Of Some Women.

We have in mind two among the
most agreeable women we have ever
met, both in manners and general culti-
walton, who are fitted personally to
adorn any drawiug-room, and who can
converse imtelligently on any subject
which may be broached there, but who
are not in general society, in the town
where they live, simply because one of
them is dressmaker and the other q
milliner. Both devote their evenings TO
reading and study; they travel, they
hear the best music, and are familiar
with the best thoughts of the day; and
to the few who are really acquainted
with them, they are valued friends.
But they are not often invited-because
nobody thinks of it. Can society afford
to do without snch women as these {?
And their case is not exceptional. 1t is
true, that there are scores of young girls
in our shops whose breeding and whole
appearance are very questionable, and
who could not be received, at present,
into polite society. But do we hold out
any inducements to them to cultivate
themselves? Do they see that those in
their position who have become refined
and intelligent are any better of, social

Long Prayers.

OIr. Ed'forTAllow me,in all kindness and
reverence, TO throw out a few hints and sug.
gestions upon this subject. refer especially
to tamily and social prayer.
Are long, prosy, verbose prayers ever dosira-
bic in family worship or the social meeting
Do they increase the spirituality and raise tho
aspirations of souls heaYenward? Do they
contribute 10 the spirit and lifesof or tend TO
make such meetings attraciye 10 the yotn.-
or incline The worldly 10 come to them?
If some men were answered L" for their much
speaking would they not receive Gt ilt1ge
measure the gifts and graces they ask for ?
DID you never hear the long drawn sigh of
relief from the audience when the anXiously
desired " Amen" was uttered ? Have you not
known lamilies wearied almost beyond endur-
ance and the chillr finally come to dread
the hour of family worship by reason Of the
lengthy prayers IN which, each day, all subjects
must be touched upon?
low different is the Bible record. They
are all Lrief and TO the point The longest,
we believe, is Soomon's at the dedication. of
the temple; and that, Sloas}y read, will not
occupy over six or seven minutes: yet we often
hear prayers twice as long at these meetings.
David's prayer as recorded in the 51st Psalm.
will not occupy four minutes. Hezekiah's
prayer that his life might be prolonged, con-
sists OF but thirty toOrdS. All petitions adj
dressed to the Savior were very brief They
were not clothed In verbiage to obscure the
object sought for. If persons must Ee so acorl,j
aud diGuSe upon each and all topics, would it
not be far preferable TO select one or more that
most deeply interest their hearts and make
them a speciality.
Prayer is, primarily, petition for blessings
and favors; but it may comprehend alteration
and confession, Thanksgiving and praise. But
how often do We hear persons pray as if talk
n tothe audience cf God and His attributes in,
stead of entrsat,ng Him for the blessings they
need, As Il gentleman remarked after having
heard a distinguished clergyman in Boston
"Ihat was the most eloquent prayer ever
addressed to Boston audience"

was appropriate to the OCCASION Do have a
little pity Tor the children, perhaps already
wearied enough by the other services of the
day. Can you wonder if they get restless and
listlcss Dohot weary thea s' In well doing"
In conclusion, let ME ask, would it not be
far more beneficial In all respects at these
meetings, il no one occupied over three or
four minutes in prayer or remarks?
Prayer is the burden of n sigh,
The falling of tear;
The upward glancing of an eye,
When none but God is near" x.

During the controversy now going on
In reference 20 the virtues of the Cundu-
rango plant in treatment of cancer,

are received so far as it has been tried,)
let US not forget another valuable plant,

plant, or Side-Saddle Flower, or Hunts.

plant was used i'll many cases of SMALL
pox, in this city, during the winter and
spring Of 'G6, with decided succuss, 1t
does not seem to shorten the duration of
the disease, but very materially mitgates
its symptoms, in allaying fever and In.

especially SO when the pistules begin to
dry up and the crusls OF scales fall of,
1t does away with that disposition to
scratch the face and remove the scabs
before it is time for them to fall off of
their own accord. 1t also prevents the
appearance of pits that often occur.
This remedy was also professionally
denounced at that time but notwith-
standing the condemnation, many per-
sons used it, and are ready to testify to
It's good results. The history of this
plant has been written. 1t, too, unfor.
tunately, had humble origin. 1t was
discovered and brought into use by
squaw in treating a British soldier, in
New Brunswick, for smallpox, several
years since. But what can be the differ.

remedies were discovered and brought
into practice by professor or squaw,if
they are adequate? And how are we 10

Mrs. II, B. STowE ON WoMEN's EDu,
CATIoN.--At meeting held in private
house III Boston few days ago, Harriet
Beechcf StJwe was one of the speakers
upon the subject of woinen's dislin ,tive
duties. She said it was with women
just as it was with farms, 1t used to be
said that books were useless. After a
while it began to be found out that men
who studied about soils and their ingre-
dlents could do things that those who
did not study the books could not do.
1t was said that woman's common sense
was enough. 'Oh, you just marry her
and give her family and she will find
a way to do things" and she is married
and put into house full of water pipes
making horrible noises that scare her
and spring aleak, and an uncomfortable
furnace that roars and scares ber again,
and sends its fumes through the house.
Her husband is away at his office and
she IS lett in maze. Mrs. Stowe said it
was like being in an enchanted castle

off next. She had house with SO many
conveDiencies in it that they could not
sleep in their beds. Some of them were

she were to go to housekeeping again
she would certainly buy books and study
plumbing, and sc. at the bottom of these

perlence with ranges, which Lad to be
supplied with new boilers and furnaces,
with which they were obliged to sit up

Market street in, front Of Zanes bakery.
The boy was trying to turn the horse
hitched to the vehicle and the animal
turned too short, turning the buggy
completely upside down. The boy was
thrown under the vehicle and the horse
started to run away, dragging the boy
over the rough stones of Market street
for a short distance before he was res
cued. lie Was taken into Cthman g
cooper shop, where it was found that no
bones were broken. His seyerest inju-
ries were a cut over the left eve and q
disiocation of the knee. He was SEM
to his fathers residence. The horse
kept on his mad career, breaking down
awning posts and smashing the buggy
to smithereens.
