Mr.. Smiths PerpIeXity.

A PROMINENT church-goer of Willough-
by, Ohio, who is called Mr.. Smith Tor
convenience, entered the Meth odist
Church at that place on a recent Sab
bath, walked up the aisle very deliberate
ly, chose a seat in front of the pulpit,
in full view of the audience, took off his
overcoat and commenced folding it. An
audible litter passed through the entire
congregation, and MIR. Smith could not
imagine what was the cause of the ner
riment. Having folded hts coat very
carefully and placed it beside him, he WAS
Just going to sit down when he discov-
cred, for the first time that he was pre-
senting quite pugilistic appearance,
sanding there before the audience in his
shirt seevesi When he fully compre-
hended the situation a look of utter dis
may was depicted upon his countenance.
The appe aranCe of the Furies, or Iar-
pies. or some Gorgon horror, just then,
would not have disturbed his peace of
mind in a greater degree. Selling his
coat he put it on in an incredibly short
space of time and sat down, a sadder and
a warmer man. Every few minutes he
would fix his collar around his neck more
tightly, as if he were afraid his coat
would slip off second time of its own
accord. The minister, who had to view
the whole incident, with much difficulty
and a large handkerchief, managed to re
strain his laughter.

but it did not last long; and then he was
such little boy that men did not want TO
pay much for his services.
! Well, will tell you what you can
| do. MIR. Bisbee's errand boy has gone
| away to school, and he wants to get a
good trusty boy to fill hIs place. ] over
heard your conversation yesterday with
those wicked boys about the ragged shoes
and the pocket book, and thought that a
little boy who could resist evil when the
temptation mas so great was really no.
Bile little man, and as ! had heard Mr..
Bisbee say only the evening before that
he wanted small boy to dI crrands l
thought | could safely recommend you
for honesty; and have seen him to-day
and informed him of the matter of the
pocket-boo and also secured tue situa-
ton for you. You are to get four dollars
a week to begin with. Now what do you
think of that, my little man."
SaHmy could hardly realize that he
was not dreaming. Four dollars a week,
and all his owni Selling the hand of his
kind friend, just as he did his mothers
when he was overjoyed, he stammered
out, not formal expression of thanks,
but his overlooking, unbounded delight,
with true boyish frankness and impetu-
osity-
And SO the matter was settled, that is,
of course, subject to mothers approval,
and Sammy ran home with light 1eet TO
tell the good news.
As he anticipated, she most heartily
approved, and thanked God for making
her boy good and truthful, and also for
sending them such good, kind friend.
That night Sammy's dreams were all
mingled in blissful confusion of bright
cOlOred dresses, hoods and shawls, which,
am happy to add, did not end in
visions, but really took tangible shapes,
and Want, meager and grim, was slowly
but steadily beaten from their door.
After Sammy had become a little used
to his new duties Mr.. Weston very kind
ly offered to spend an hour each evening
to help him in his studies, in which he
took much interest, and consequently
made rapid advancement.
With the increase of experience came
an increase of wages, and he was, before
many months, able to supply the needs
of the whole family; and he often said
to his mother that " it was all because he
went to the Sabbath school that day in
his ragged shoes. "-Hearth and Home.

Remarkable Railroad Accident.

On the Detroit & Bay City Railroad on
Thursday night last n accident occurred
which eclipses anything on record in the
annals of railroading. The accident &C.
Cured to the south bound night express.
1t appears that when the train was in the
vicinity of Oxford Conductor Noyes felt
slight but sudden shock, and heard the
bell-rope snap. He sprang to the brake,
and after setting it swung his lamp for
the engine to stop. The train went a dis
lance of four or five car-lengths before
being halted, but when it came to a
standstill everything was found to be all
right, excepting that one Blue Line car
just ahead of the passenger coach was
missing. A search was instituted and
the missing car was found in the ditch
in the rear of the train. From the posi-
ton of things it appeared that the front
end of the car had jumped the track,
severing the connection with the car
ahead as it did SO. The combined force
of the cars in the rear as they came down
on to the off" car served to end it
around until finally the rear draw-bar
twisted it off 1.-THE night was very frosty,
and the car was free. The coaches
kept pushing it further and further, I'M
til finally the Blue Line had been
sent entirely from the track, and at
right angles with it, clearing the rail
by fully three feet. The rear coaches
rolled on past the Qltcneu car as II nOLn-
ing had happened, and stopped without
accident or without the knowledge of the
passengers several car-lengths beyond.
The engine stopped and backed up, con-
nections were made, the track men were
sent for to gauge the rails, and the train,
one Car hort, proceeded on its way, max
ing its meeting point at the next station,
where the particulars of the accident
were stated and the remarkable affair
duly discussed with the attaches of the
north bound train, which was met at that
point.
Such an accident has never before been
placed on record, and the Detroit & Bay
City is thus, as in all things else, entitled
TO the broom. Whenever a Car gets off
the track the road is generally blocked
up for hours, and usually some damage
is done; but in this instance there was
no delay, no damage was done to other
cars in the train, and withal none of the
passengers on board knew that anything
unusual had occurred. OF course the
happy results were in a measure due to
good luck, but the presence of mind of
the conductor contributed largely.-Bdy

A Singular Dream.

PSYCHOLOGICAL wonders being the or
der of the day, somewhat remarkable
dream which visited one of our citizens,
MIR. William Peasley, the other night,
will be appropriate reading. 1t seems
that, just before retiring for the night,
Mr.. Pcasley's attention was attracted to
his cat, which marched in the house with
the side of her head all battered and
bleeding as if she had narrowly escaped
premature death at the hands of "a
sausage maker, or been in a serenading
matinee where the belligerent tendencies
of the participants Overpowered their
love for music. Mr.. p. however, did
not borrow any unnecessary trouble on
behalf of the CORY feline and retired
with clear conscience and the hope of
slumbers undisturbed. But the god of
dreams soon had possession of his senses,
and in fancy he saw one of his horses ly-
ing on the floor in its stall, having appar
emily thrown itself, with its forelegs fast
ened under IA partition, endeavoring in
vain to free itself and seeming in great
distress. The dreamer now, saw the cat
enter the stall and pass near the horse,
which administered it Il violent kick on
the side of the head, covering it with
blood.
Mr.. Peasley awokc after this dream
with sach a vivid impression of it on his
mind that it seemed almost reality. He
endeavorcd to Danish it from his thoughts
and turned over for another snooze, but
found himself SO nervous and uneasy
that he courted sleep in vain. Just to
siti-fy an almost irresistible curiosity
and set his mind at rest, he at last con
cluded to visit the stable where his horse
was kept. He accordingly arose, dressed

Powers Mechanical Work.

In an article on the sculptor Powers,
in Lippincotts Magazine, MIR. Trollope
says:
The practice of the greatest sculptors
as regards the degree in which it has
seemed desirable to take part in that me-
chanical portion of the business of pro-
ducing statue which consists in the
manipulation of the marble has always
been very different. Some have sub
jected the marble to the touching of their
own hands more, some less. The work
of reproducing copy of the clay model
in marble is a purely mechanical one,
and NAV or may not be in the artists
judgment best brought to perfection by
the labor of their own hands. 1t will
readily be believed, however, from what
has been already said of the tendencies
of Powers talent and idiosyncrasy that
he was among those who have con-
tributed most OF their personal labor to
the perfecting of their works. Powers
was one of those men whose hands have
faculty in them. He was a master in the
use of them, and accordingly he loved to
use them. 1t was his practice to go over
with his own hand the surface of the
marble of every work which left his
studio. But he was not contented to do
this in the manner and with the tools
which had been used by SO many genera
tions of sculptors before him. The de-
cided bent of his genius to mechanical in
vention led HIM to perceive that an
improvement might be made in this
respect For giving the last finish to
the marble, for removing from the sur
face quantity SO small that no chisel
could be trusted to do the work, 1t is
obvious enough to suggest the use of
file And no doubt files are used for the
purpose, but they are liable to special
and very troublesome source of ineffi-
cheney They become clogged with the
excessively-fine dust of the marble in a
very few minutes to such an extent as to
be rendered useless, especially as the
file must be of an exceedingly-hne de-
scription Powers therefore set his mind
to the problem of inventing some means
or some instrument by which this source
of trouble could be avoided; and after
considerable veXation, not so much IN
perfecting his own conception OF the
thing needed as in getting careless and
not very competent workmen TO execute
his orders, he perfected file of the nee
essary fineness upon the principle of
His studio was at all
times full of ingenious little contrivances
of all sorts-contrivances for readily and
modifying the light in the
exact degree desirable; contrivances for
the due collocation and distribution of
artificial light; contrivances for the more
ready moving of marble, etc, etc.

There was no answer nor movement.
Something in that absolute stiffness
frightened him. He knelt down and

raised her head; there was no breath on
the lips, no light in the eyes; she was
blind and deaf to his passion of despair.
He had melted the ice and it had

THE police records of New York last
August contained case which deserves
to be put among medical records. A man
fell from the roof of his house, where he
had been in the habit of sleepin on
summer nights. He was found ~ q
policeman, taken to a station-house and
pronounced drunk by the surgeon. He
walked home, and appears to have had
jolly day, for he danced to the tune of
the Mullgan Guards" for the amuse-
ment of his friends But the followiI
morning he died, and post-mortem en-
animation discovered the fact that in his
fall his skull had been fractured, several
ribs broken, his spleen ruptured, and
large quantities of blood had accumu-
lated in the abdominal cavity. Instances
of such persistent vitality are rare
