The MEN FOR THE HOUR.
BY MES. N. c. PYLE.

FROM Cincinnati, over the plain.
Eastward speeded the express train,
Through the solemn midnight. under the stars,
With its passengers snug in the sieeping-cars,
And others elsewhere, less lncky than they,
Striving in Aeep TO pass time away
On their straight backed seats as best the,
might;
Twisted corncrwi4e, bolt upright,
Or tilted backward, with reckless feet
Aloit on the back of a neignbors seat;
Scarcely lifting sleep-dulled eye
As the tired conductor hurried by.
" Tickcts!' he cries; and his hasty hand
Snatches the pasteboard from each hat-band,
Hustles and bustles, then slams the door,
And he and his lantern yeX us no more.
Barren, prosaic age OF steam.
Making romance put an Idle dream!
We can but mourn, AS We dwell in thee,
For the vanished ages OF chlvairy.
Where, to-day, may We seek 10 md
The hero's soul ana the sages IilId f
Surely not here in this commonpla &C freight
This merchant, this drummer, that candidate.
Not in this conductor. dapper and thin,
With his rings and his gorgeous bos.nn-pin
Nor that stoker and engineer without,
Duly traversing the usual route.
Narrow and iettered, not broad and free,
Are the forms OF the life we round us see.
To be sordid or weak is the common lot
\ Philistine era is tins, wot.
is it true? No. The Fathers love still warns
And shapes mans life through the poorest forms
Now, as ever, the Infinite Love
On the waste of waters viii breathe and move,
Its Power Creative, now rs then,
Evoking from chaos a world again;
And here, in this Cincinnati train,
Through the midnight sweeping across the plain
Let the Hour come and the time of need,
And the Man shall not fail for a hero's deed,
Right before us, across the night,
suddenly flashes signal light.
DANGER; q bridge Is close al nanu.
And the roadway ana stream by lie arches

Down with the brakes haste, fireman, here

Too ncarl and the signal came too late,
We are here on the brink of the crushing fate;
Jump, then, conductor and engineer!

Did they shrink from the post of duty there?
No. Down go the brakes, and the engine reels
With the spin OF the backward turning wheels,
\ Of right through the woodwork crashing We 90
And engine and tender are hurled below.
Vain the etfort--no, NOT IN vain.
For right on the brink hangs The rescued train,
Aud the passengers sleep with tranquil breath,
unknowing they stand at the gates of death.
Only the other traIn-hands knew
All that was done by the gallant two
They search the ruins with eager stir
To ind the fate of the rescuer.
Out from the wreck they bear them then,
Two charred and broken bodies of men,
Brave heroes for you bat these words are fit:

A Shrewd Trick.

The Partisan rogues are the cleveres
rascals in the world and positively ele
vate their villainy TO a science. In NJ
| other European capital is one-half tn,
ingenuity exhibited by this class. Tn,
famous Duval eating houses or restau
rants are located in all parts of thu
French capital, though they are all rul
| by the same company. The professec
object OF this company is to serve excel
lent food in good style and for very
| moderate charge.
1t has been lately discovered that ;
system of thieving was being practicet
upon these establishments, whereby the,
lost a considerable amount of small sill
yer articles, such as forks, spoons ana
similar tableware, but by whom taken
il was difficult to find out However a
careful watch was set, and with the fol
lowing result:
1t was found that respectable looking
person would enter the dining saloon
and give his order for dinner, of which
he partook. During the meal he con-
veyed one or more articles tolthe under
side OF the table, fixing them there by
means of wax, with which he was pro
vided for the purpose. Should the SER
want who waits upon him miss any of
his spoons or other articles the rogue is
still in no danger and offers himself to
be searched with perfect impunity and
an air OF injured innocence. OF course
he is allowed to depart, but Immediately
after an accomplce enters, orders his
dish, whatever it may be, seating himself
at the same table, whence he re.
moves the secreted articles To his
| own pocket, of course taking care that
the waiter shall not miss any articles
from the table as served before him.
There is no reason for suspecting this
individual who quietly pays his bill and
departs to share the booty with his wait
ing confederate.
A case of this kind occurred few
weeks since in the Place de la Madeleine,
where the superintendent suspected the
trick, allowing the first party to retire
| after apologizing for searching him. lie
however sent for detective in plain
clothes, and babe him watch that par
ticular table. Presently, after the de.
parture of the first rogue, his confederate
entered, seating himself at the table in
question, and while taking his soup be-
gan his work, little dreaming that the
peaceable-looking citizen opposite, with
his back toward him, was watching every
movement in the looking-glass through
Il hole in the newspaper which he held
before his face and pretending to read.
1t was almost as good as play, and the
detective was obliged to restrain HIM
self or he would have burst into II fit of
laughter.
No sooner had the rogue succeeded in
transferring the last of the forks and
spoons to his pocket than he rose very
leisurely, walked to the cashiers desk
| and took out his money to pay for the
| meal. But at the same moment there
was hand laid heavily upon his shoul
| der and the detective very bluntly
slipped pair of handouts upon his
wrists The missing articles were found
in his pocket and he was marched off &c

An Irish Legend.

A writer, speaking of the Castle of
Howth, near Dublin, says; "The steps
to the front door are very grand, extend
ing across the whole front of the build.
ing The wings are covered with ivy.
The main entrance used to be left open
during the dinner hour until very re-
cent date. The origin of the custom is
thus related: About 300 years ago there
lived in the west of Ireland celebrated
female chcftaln named Grace O'Malley,
of Grana Vile. She owned vast terri
tory and had castles TO defend it, and
ships and men. So renowned was she
that Queen Elizabeth invited her to her
court, whittier she went, accompanied by
large rctinue, where she doubtless was
Toasted in accordance with her rank. On
her return she was forced to land on the
east coast of Ireland to procure pro
visions, which had fallen short 1t hap
pened that she landed at Howth, and
walking up to the castle made known
her wants. The servants refused to
comply v it'll her wishes at once, telling
her she must wait because the family
were at dinner Indignant at such treat
ment, she returned to the shore TO re-em-
bark. There she saw little boy play
ing. Whose child is thiss' 1t is the
son of the lord of the castle was the
reply. Thereupon she ordered him to be
seized and carried on board her vessel,
and away she sailed to her home in the
West. Here the young Prince was kept
prisoner for some time, but finally
Grana yielded to the petition of the
father and released the boy, on condition
that ever after the door should stand open
during dinner, to welcome al corners"

In Springfield, Mass, recently, a young
married woman became possessed with
the idea that her proper vocation was
that Of novelist SO she secretly began
a thrilling story in which the hero was
to be strangled by his jealous wife. Into
the murder scene she determined topouf
her whole soul, and in order TO properly
describe it she went to the bedside OF her
sleeping spouse and, placing her hands
about his neck, choked him into insensi-
biiity. He knocked her down with chair
as soon as he revived, and the novel went
into The stove.

A REPORT comes from London that
Mr.. Disracli is to be married again. AS
the venerable statesman is within twelve
months of his seventeen birthday IL
would be remarkable if in his old age
and infirmi,ies he should seek another
consort. 1t has always been supposed,
too, that his extreme affection Tor the
estimable lady whom he married when
he was over sixty, and who died two
years ago, would prevent another mat
rimoniai alliance on his part.
