tone of meaning in tho thud Of the
wheels along the rails. Many q
sleeper turned TO listen a moment, and
then forgot that there was anything
passing strange in the sound-forgot
it until afterward.
A flaw in the iron! Who knew it
was there? Hidden away in tho heart
of it. flaw. Did the workman who
cast the wheel know it7 Did the
great manufacturer know, when car
wheels were made out of that iron
that it ought not to be nsed for such q
purpose? Did he, to build up his
own fortune. thus risk the life of his
fellows? Somebody was in fault
Possibly it was the man whose duty
it was to examine every wheel of that
train. Because the night was csld,
and the cars many, and his ears well
muffied and he was tired, did he pass
that one by? Possibly it was the con-
tractor, or the president, or the poor
est empleye on the road. Somebody
was to blame, and, of that man, whe-
ever he may be, the voice of the Lsrd
God was asking, "Where 10 thy broth
err"
Mrs. Dee turned the gas low and
looked out upon the night. Some
thing in 1t made her very soul shiver,
and she turned it for warmth toward
Heaven, asking what of blessing for
her husband she knew not. She saw
through the dim light, when she rose,
the sweet face of Mary, asleep on her
husbands pillow, 1t made her think
of that other little face, asleep some-
where, under the light ef'a thankful
mothers love, and she went to sleep
with blessings in her heart for her
noble husband.
The broken wheel, the treacherous
axle, whatever it was, executed its
fearful errand. There is rumbling
thud, corner of the car touches the
earth; it breaks up and fills the way !;
others, forced along, all piled on it.
until, at last, both tracks are numbered
with wreck. Frank Dee is all alert.
1t is place where accidents have been
times past, and he looks carefully out
for the smallest signal of danger but
all is well, white lights stream through
the moonlit air, and, en- he goes.
Suddenly, like red hot ball shot
from the cannon's mouth in time of
peace, comes blood-red glare upon
the track. The engineers hand flew
to the lever; tine whistle sounded for
the brakes, and a voice sounded from
the rear. "Jump, Frank, jump!" But
something held the engine driver to
his post, and no man knoweth or
Or imagineth how he passed
into that angelhood. of which he
thought but span of time age. Down
below the cold, black waters, We
know that angel hands ministered to
brave Frank Dee, and caught his ex-
piring thoughts from the wreck Of
ruin, even as he, with his human
hands, had caught the fair-haired child
from the crush of death that day.
In the little house up town, there is
such sorrow as God alone can still.
We dare not go near it with word or
thought. Only this thing we know,
for sorrows self taught the truth, that
as the days so on and the wife and
children live out their time, sweet and
sweeter will grow the thought that
the engine driver went into the future
through the gateway of duty.

YOUNG IfooDLuMs.-There Hre num-

the sons of o,,r best citizens, who congre-
gate at the railroad depot aboitt train time
each evening and raise particular Ned with
evrybody I'm the vicinity, swearing, black
guarding, fighting, and in fact, they are
into all kinds OF mischief and meanness.
The leader of these lloodlums Is probably
twelve or fourteen years of age and is said
to be the most accomplished and profane
hoodlum IN the State. The presence of
Indies doesn't act as q check on their OBJ
scenity, but seems to add to it. Complaint
has been made, time and again, of the out
raees committed by these young scapegraces
but seemingly with no good effect. 1t
should be the duty of the Marshal to
jug every one of them the very next oppor-
tunity, and fine them to the full extent Of
the law. A few heavy fines may induce
parents to look aftcr their children, and
learn where they are and how they conduct
themselves during the evenings.

- A MOVING SToRY.-TIle good people of
Gospel ridge were talking of moving their
meeting house to more agreeable locality.
Among the advocates of the movement
none were more earnest than one whom
we shall cali good old Deacon A., who,
by the way, had an uncomfortable habit of
sleeping in church. No matter how inter-
esting the discourse, the old deacon was
sure to drop of about such time. On
the Sabbath preceiliug the day appointed
for moving the house, the postor preached
an interesting sermon on ''The Rock of
Ages" Growing eloquent in his remarks,
the minister finally added with great en-
pllasis, stVho can move It 20 The deacon
having been asleep as usual, woke up just
in time to catch the query, and thinking
the pastor referred to the meeting house,
rose up in his seat and exclaimed, sI'l
bring over my yoke ofsteers, and they vii
jerk iE along the whole distance, II yor
viii keep plenty of hard wood rolling url

INCENDIARY.-TueStlay morning aIout
quarter to two o'clock, the fire bell sounded
the alarm of fire, and soon the cry of fire!
fire !! came from all quarters of the
city, men, women and children with their
clothes about half adjusted, made their way
towards the scene of conflagration, which
was in the lower portion of the city, in an
old building that had been used as school
house, but at tile present time had not been
occupied for about three weeks, and has
not had particle OF fire about the prem
ises for some months past, therefore, it is
in ali probability the work of some scoRn-
drel that either had spite at the owner of
the building or was done for pure diabolic
nj meanness. The firemen were promptly
on hand, but owing to the fire being under
such Roadway before the alarm was given,
and distance they hal to travel, the build
ing was almost consumed before they ar
rived. The building belonged to DIR. Hill
and was Yalucd at $500. No insurance.

Fair Athletics.

Describing q fencing tournament at
Yedde, the London Spectator says: "A
young lady, not over remarkable for
beauty, now enters the list. She is
dressed in male costume, has white
handkerchief bound round her head,
and bears in her hand a bamboo stick
shaped 40 as to represent a halherd, in
the use Of which weapon ladies of good
family generally used in olden times to
take lessons. This stick is about seven
feet long, and is curved at the end, to
represent the sword blade fixed upon the
real weapon. She wears no armor, and
merely exhibits by herself her skill in
use of the deadly implement. Unheed-
ing the derisive applause, and the cries
of There's a beautyP Mind you don't
get beaten, ETC., with which she is freely
assailed, she goes through her evolutions,
and is finally hailed az a conqueror by
the umpire. She then retires, and an
other ladycomes forward, dons cuirass,
gloves, and lhelmet, and advances to
meet one Of the pupils. who is armed
with a sword. She delivers quick
thrust at him with her halberd, and cuts
at his legs; he endeavors to dash inside
her guard aud close. It is no use, how.
ever; the lady is evidently the better
fencer, and the discomftted youth re.
tires crestfallen, while his fair antagonist
is proclaimed mistress of the field. "

Russian Beauty.
