The Last statiou.

BRAKEMAN's sHADowY JoURNEY-THE
CALL THAT WAS NOT FINISHED.
He had been sick at one of the hotels for
three or four weeks, and the boys on the
road had dropped in daily TO see how he
got along, aud TO learn If they could render
him any kindness. The brakeman was a
good fellow, and one and all encouraged
him in the hope that he would pull th rough.
The doctor didn't regard the c,se as dan
gerous, but the other day the patient be-
gan sinking, and it was seen that lie could
not live the night out. A dozen of his
friends sat in the room when night came,
but his mind wandered and he did not rec
ognze them.
1t was near one ofthe depots, and after
the great trucks and noisy drays had ceas-
ed rolling by, the bells and the short sharp
whistles Of the yard locomotives sounded
painfully aloud. The patient had been very
quiet for half an hour, when he suddenly
unclosed his eyes and shouted:
"Kal ma zoor'
One ofthe men brushed the hair hack
from the cold forehead, and the brakeman
closed his eyes and he was quiet for a time.
Then the wind whistled around the depot
and banged the blinds on the window of
his room, ard he lifted his hands and cried
out:
jackson Passengers going north by
the Saginaw road change earsv
The men understood. Tie brakeman
thought he was coming east on the Michi-
gan Central. The effort scented TO have
greatly exhausted him, for he lay like one
dead for the next five minutes, and a
watcher felt for his pulse 10 see if the life
had gone out. \ tug going down the river
sounded her whistle loud and long, and the
dying brakeman opened his eyes and CALI
ed out:
Ann Arborr'
He had been over the road a thousand
times, but he had made his last trip. Death
had drawn spectral trail over the old
track, and he was brakeman, engineer and
conductor.
One ofthe yard engines started a shrill
whistle Of warning, as if the glare of the
headlight had shown TO the engineer some
stranger in peril, and the brakeman called
out:
"YP-slanty-change cars here for the Eel
River road"
Hes coming in fast, whispered one of
the men.
'And the end OF his run will be the end
of life" said a second.
The dampness Of death began to collect
on The patienrs forehead, and there was
that ghastly look on the face which death
always brings. The slamming of a door
down the hall startled him again, and he
moved his head and family called:
"Grand Trunk Juncton-passenger GO
ing east by the Grand Trunk change cars ~
He was so quiet afler that that all the
men gathered around the bed, believing
that he was dead. His eyes closed, and
the brakeman lined his hands, moved his
head and whispered:
DE"
Not "Detroit" but Death He died with
the halfuttered whisper on his lips. And
the headlight on Deaths engine shoue full
in his face and covered it with such pallor
as naught but death can bring.-Detron

The Heritage.

BY JAMES RUssELL LOWELL.
Ihe rich mans sos inherits lands,
And piles Of brick, and stone, and gold;
And he inherits soft, white hands,
And tender flesh that fears the cold,
Nor dares to wear garment old;
A heritage, it seems to me,
One scarce would wish TO hold in fee.
The rich mans son inheTits cares;
The bank may break, the factory burn.
A breath II ay burst his bubble shares,
And soft white hands could scarcely earn
A living that would serve his turn;
A heritage, it seems to me,
One would not wish to hold il fee.
What doth the poor mans son Inherit
Stout muscles and sinewy heart,
A hardy frame, harder spirit;
King Of two hands, he does his part
In every useful toll and art;
A heritage, it seems to me,
king might wish to hold in fee.
What doth the poor mans son inherit
Wishes o'erjoyed with humble thing,
rank adiudged by toilwon merit,
Content that from enjoyment springs,
heart that in his labor sings;
A heritage, it seems to me,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
What doth the poor mans son iuheritH
A Apatlenoe learned by being poor;
Courage, If sorrow come, to bear il
A fellow-feeling that is sure
To make the outeast bless his door;
A heritage, it seems to me,
king might wish to hold in fee.
o rich mans son! there is a toll
That with all other level stands;
Large charity doth never soil,
But only whiten soft white hands
This is the best crop from thy lands;
A heritage, it seems to me,
Worth being rich to hold in fee.
Opoor mans son seorn not thy state;
There is worse weariness than thine,
In merely being rich and great;
Toll only gives the soul to shine,
And makes rest fragrant and benign;
heritage, it seem to me,
worth being poor to hold in fee.
Both, heirs 10 some HiK feet OF sod,
Are equal in the earth at last;
Both, children Of the same dear God,
Prove title to your heirShip vast
BY record Of well-hlled past;
A heritage, II seems to me,
Wen worth life TO hold in fee.

Mr.. Ferguson had reached the nearest
station in safety, had sent back the wraps
his careful wife had guarded him with,
and started by the ten o'clock train to
FOrdham.
The rain beat on the windows a. the train
flew along in the darkness, and presently
a prolonged whistle told him that they
were approaching a certain junction where
he would have to wait some ten minutes or
so.
Two or three lamps on the platform by
which they drew up showed some few pas
sengers and a couple of sleepy porters.
Another train had just come in from the
opposite direction, from Fordham, now on
ly fifteen miles distant; aud some of its
passengers had alighted and were making
their way past the line of carriages.
Looking out upon his fellow-trayelers,
without much curiosity or interest, Mr..
Ferguson caught sight of a face which he
had little expected to see. Shouting to
porter to open the door of his compartment,
he sprang out and grasped the arm of
man very much like himself-in fact his
own elder brother.

March. March! March! They are coming
In troops, to the tune of the wind:
Red headed woodpecikers drumming,
Gold crested thrushes behind;
Sparrows in brown jackets hopping
Past every gateway and door;
Finches with crimpson caps stopping
Just where they stopped years before.
March! March! March, They are slipping
Into their places ut last
Little white lily buds, dripping
Under the showers that fall fast;
Buttercups, violets, roses;
Snowdrop and bluebell and pink;
Throng upon throng of sweet posies,
Bending the dewdrops to drink.
March. March! March, They will hurry
Forth at the wild bugle- sound
Blossoms and birds in a furry,
Fluttering all over the ground.
Hang out your flags, birch and willow!
Shake out your red tassels, larch!
Grass blades, up from your earth pillow!
Hear who is calling you-March!

Mr.. Kimble offered the following pre-
amble and resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted
WHEREAS, We. as teachers attending
this Institute, which is now about to close
its present session, cannot refrain from
expressing our feelings and sentiments rela-
tive to our meeting and proceedings. To
say that we have had a pleasant, agreeable
and instructive session, would be giving
but faint idea of the superior advantages
and benefits derived from, attendance on,
and participation in the various proceed
ings of this Institute; therefore,
Resolped, LIST. That our unanimous thanks
be rendered to the officers of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, of Port Deposit, for tho
use of their splendid organ and blackboard;
end. To the ladies and gentlemen who so
kindly RECALLED us with music, both vocal
and instrumental; 3rd. TO the children
who so ably acquitted themselves in the
exercises of class drills; 4th. To the Brass
Band that entertained us so highly with
their excellent musical performances which,
for the number in attendance, perhaps,
cannot be excelled within the limits of our
old and honored State; 5th. To the officers
and members of our County School Board,
and those of adjoining counties and States,
who honored us with their presence and
participated in the exercises; 9th. To the
Principal of our State Normal School, who
so ably presided over the Institute, and
also to the various eminent Divines who
have been present with us; It'll, and last,
though not least to the citizens of Port
Deposit, whose urbanity and hospitality
have on this, as on previous occasions, been
unbounded, and unsurpassed, including
Committee of Arrangements, who have
been so obliging in procuring pleasant
homes for us during the session.
Mr.. Squier closed with a few remarks,
expressing his pleasure at the progress
made by the teachers of the county in all
the qualities which make teacher, and
the hope that for the future they would
make still greater advances in the noble
profession of teaching, assuring them that,
while the natural talents for teaching may
be a gift of God, yet much could be done
by patient effort, combined with love for
their work.
Adjourned sine die.
