Death as an Event.

That is supreme moment in mans life
when be can look at death inteligently and
calmly. Not because that event is terrible in
itself but because our imasinations clOthe il
with terror. Iii change that is sooner or
later to come 10 all. That i. breaks up, aud
will break up our associations on earth is true,
which it is not pleasant to contemplate but
knowing the fact. we should be prepared 10
meet it with fortitude. There are two views
that we may take Of death. A gloomy aud
apprehensive view, as though it was full Of
evil or a cheerful view, such as 81. Paul took
Of it when he said. To die is gain" All men
pause sometimes 10 think about it, aud it is
often thrust upon our attention by its presence
in the community But all donot regard It
alike. It fills some with dread. and they turn
their thoughts to other things. Others look
at it calmly and think about it with cousidera-
ton. But laying aside, the different views that
are taken Of this event, we may ask how the
knowledge that it is to come TO US affects us
We DO not ask this question 10 the lisht.of any
religious prediction, but as we would ask it
with referenco.to any great change that is to
take place in our relations In life =, For instance
such change as would be made by our re-
moving from the place where we were born
and had lived up % the hour when we broke up
aud went to a far country, with no intention
of ever returning There would be pain aud
sorrow at the change, even il the advantages
to be gained by it were never 50 great We
are so constituted aud connected that an event
Of this kind cannot take place without suffer-
ing and tears. But we meet tthese changes;
we look forward 70 them aud prepare for.them.
In fact, we make them. because.of the adyan-
tages they offer. But death is an event that
is not left to our election. = twill come'in,tho
order Of things It will break up and change
everything that is connected with our life,.and
we are constrained 10 contemplate il. Tho
question is, how do We regard il? We cannot
treat it in our thoughts lightly, not. Indifferent
| ly is very nature and effects make it serious;
but it should not inspire ltorror- nor gloom.
Like cloud it may, cast shadow over tho
sun Of our earthly life but it. is only "a shadow;
the sun shines on just the same so life goes
on, notwithstanding this seemins.interruption.
We ere like travellers ascending.a bill = Those
who have turned the summit and gone down
on the other side are only out Of sight for a
moment, as it we're. while we ere On this side
going towards them. What we leaye'bohind
Us was only necessary for this part Of the
journey Our friends arc in tho7processsio.,
aud whatever else we,may' leave,.we are not
to leave them except 1t be for time. Our
real treasure, our true riches, we carry with
US, or they will come after US Life il to be
all retoucbed again" Therefore we should
look forward. to death with hope and not
with fear.

The Hidden Benefactor.


A ride on the engine may help to break up
the tedium Of { journey, but l confess that l
enjoy the occasional privilege for other reasons.
have seldom found locomotive engineer who
was not good fellow.
Pilots on the New York ferry boats and en-
sineers upon railroad trains are entrusted with
more lives than any other men in the commu-
nifty and when We consider the immense num-
Der of people who are transported every day.
and the small number of accidents which be-
fall the millions Of people dependent on their
vigilance for safety, it will be seen how worthy
they ere of the trust yeposed in them.
One may point to The numerous railway &C
cidents, aud at the great slaughter Of men aud
women which so often shock the public and
carry sorrow to hundreds of households, as in
consistent with such judgment. Bet, on ex-
animation, how few of all these terrible acci-
dents are from the fault Of the engineer. lie
is not to blame fer a broken rail. 1t is not bis
fault if cheap or cheating wheels or axles have
been put upon the cars, the breakage Of which
sends the cars and their precious loads a whirl-
ing down the bank 1t is not for him to run
the trains which come rushing like the wind
into him while be has the right Of way
An engineer may he set down, as a rule, as
a cautious, pains-taking, intelligent man, who
brings to the care Of human life as much con-
scientious fidelity as is found in any other pro-
fession in society which deals directly with men
and their interests. Every little while we read
instances Of real he1oism, in which engineers
stand to their posts in face Of death, and ma
uy a poor fellow who has been crushed under
his own machine might have saved his life il
he had not travely stuck to his place and did
his duty to tlsyery utmost.
Besides, how many unropoited acts Of hero
ism have taken place when, by facing cooily
the utmost risk, the engineer has carried on biz
train safely? No reporter was there to note
the danger nor how it was avoided. WehayC
heard from these brave men Of The machinein-
stances Of pluck and coolness aud fidelity
which, If seen on a field Of battle, would have
brought universal applause.
There are thousands Of gentlemen, and tens
Of thousands who ride from twenty TO fifty
miles day, year In and out, without scratch
flying through the air at a rate which, if any
accdon: should happen through the engineer
incaution or neglect, would dash them to pieces
But how seldom do they ever think of thei
faithful servant or speak kind word of hin
or to him Who ever hears Of passengers ma
king complimentary testimonial to engineers
Who ever sees newspaper commendations 0
their steadfast services?
The fact is, we never come or from jour
ney .hs. we do not feel like going up TO th
grand old machine and shaking hands With th
oily fingers Of the master Of it, and thanking
him for bis seryices.-Hemy Ward BeecEer.

The Woman in White.

One day last week a young gentleman Of
this county, who had been to see bis sweet
heart in the neighborhood Of Bethlehem, and
was on his way hcmeward, between sunset and
dark, on looking JUS, ahead in tie dim, uncer-
tain twilight saw a sight which caused his
"Knotted and combined locks 10 part
And each particular hair % stand on end
Like quills upon the fretful porcupine."
It was a large white object, apparently half
as high as a man, circular in shape, aud rapid
ly, though remorselessly, approaching him
He gazed a moment in utter amazement, then
bis manly check blanched, bis knees smote to-
sether and believing discretion the wiser
course, he turned and ncontinenty fed. At
a neishbor's house he secured the company OF
a daring companion, and returned to the place
and found that it was only a young lady who
to avoid the dews Of evening, had gathered her
overskirt about her waist, and was also on her
way home.-Su5olk Herald

A senator,s WORD 70 Falmers.

To lis speech in the Senate recently, OQpo-
sing currency imitation, Senator ScLurz spoke
as follows If farmer or planter could IN
fate The currency and run up The premium on
gold when le cells his crops, and then so ma
uipulate the currency as to raise tie value Of
paper money and doprcss the premium or gold
when he buys lis supplies, Of course that would
he a winning trick. But those who buy from
and who sell to him would try to play the
same game; and in this tricky game the hon
est farmer would be sure to come to grief, as
he has come to grief already. No; II the far
mer or planter wants TO prosper, he will, above
all things, use every effort within his power to

as the price Of what he sells is put upon an c.

lie will discover that the trick of depreciating
the lcgal-teuder by initiation, in order to pay
what he owes in a currency less valuable, will
not rebound to lis advantage in the end, aud
that in this, as in all other things, honesty is,
after all, the best policy. He will discover
that an honest currency, which permits him
to buy and sell on the same basis Of value, is
for him the safest basis of prosperity, and ]

Too Much Married.

Colonel. W. W. Price, the millionaire brew
er Of New York city, can boast Of the most re-
markablc marital experiences Of any man liv-
ing. Thirty ty-fveyearsago, when poor clerk, he
married Susanna Butler, in Birmingham, Eng
land, but separated from her by mutual agree
ment a year afterward, and came to New York,
Susanna marrying, shortly after one Samuel
Green. 10 1913 lie married Miss Carolina
Barton, young lady Of respectable family in
Brooklyn, who was not aware Of bis first mar
riagc They had in the family an Irish ser
want named Bridget Fallon with whom, as it
aftcrward appeared, the Colonel became favor
ably impressed. Meanwhile wife No learned
that wife No. was living, and left her hus-
band, whereupon he applied for an onuulment
Of the marriage, which was granted, and since
that time tie Colonel has supported ber
Subsequently, report reached him that wife
No. l was dead, whereupon he married DHdg-
ct Fallon, = then Bridget. however, was
not refined enough 70 adcrn his
home, and trouble began to arise. Wife
No. made an attempt to open the decree
adjudging her marriage void, upon tie ground
that j, was obtained by fraud 4 commission
was sent to England in the course Of the liH-
CATION, and wife No. was found with whole
flock Of little Greens about her. Thereupon
the Colonel took measures to annual lis mar
riage to wife No. 9, in which be has succeeded,
although lie has to support her aud the child
reu. The Colonel now fads himself support
ing two families, with two women on bis
hands who have borne bin legitimate children,
and yet were not legitimate wives, and the
legitimate husband Of legitimate wife who is
another mans wife. It is highly probable
that the wealthy New York brewer is now en-
tirely satisfied with the marrying business and
will hereafter devote himself simply to beer
