\ Story thna Ought 10 Liyc Eoreyer.


There comes to us from the west
ern district, story on the details of
which Brete Harte or Col. John
Hay would found a poem. The 9th
er day gang of laborers were en-
ployed stacking blocks ofstone on a
permanent way of the Great Western
Railroad, betgeen Keypgham and
Bristol. In fact, the operation OF
stone stacking was carried on within
a few yards of the Brislington tun-
mel. 1t was at the time of day when
the most wonderful express train III
the werid, eaiied TIE Flying Dutch
man. was expected, and by some
uniucky accident a large BLOCK
Of stone rolled down the en-
bankment and lodged on the rail
way line. At this instant the
roar of the Flying Dutchman ;;
was heard in the tunnel. There
YES net moment to be lost
SO swiftly down the bank sped one
OF the brave naYvies to remove the
stone and save hundreds Of innocent
lives, or perish in the attempt. He
had wife and family at home, but
he never thought of them. His life
was in his hand, but he never
thought Gf that Down the steep
embankment sped the braYe fellow,
neryed With the combined strength
of Sisyphus and Atlas, to move the
Isstone and save his fellow creatures.
On sped the asFl lying Dutchman >
"Quicl1, for your life, JIM" shouted
the champion on the bank. Alas
1T was just too late; the stone was
rolled out of the way, bat the hero
was cut to pieces by the fanas of
the murderous train. This is as
grand and noble a story as ever was
told. 1t is finer than the tale of
Jim Bludso," the moral of whose
story is told with such impetuous
yigor and truth by the author of
" Little Brooches :"
He know'd his duty, dead sure thing,
And he went for it there and then:
And Christ amt agoing to be too hard
IS e On a man that died for men
S If ever ere was a brave fellow
who laid do wn his life for the sake
of his fellowacre it was this
hero of the BrisIingten tunnel. His
wife and children ought be looked
after, and have no doabt eeine un-
der the consideration Of the citizens
Of Bristol. Bot the story ought to
live forever@Loudon Era.

How Sol P1rMAN Cor EvEN.--Uncle
Robert p, who kept store at the Flat Rock,

the scales were turned. On certain cold
wintry day he offered Sol Pitman silver
shilling (this was before the war; if he would
stir mixture of snow and salt with his fin
gers while Uncle Bob could count q hundred.
Sol not having had very Mrge experience
with freezing mixtures, readily agreed to this,
and the result was, his fingers were so swollen
that he was laid up for month.
Some time after, Uncle Bob hired Sol to
saw some wood with pit saw, up on the Yel-
low Mountain. In about ten days Sol came
to the store and said the planks we're ready,
and he would show the way to them. Uncle
Robert started with a four mule team and
two hands to chop out the road, and in about
half day he reached the top of the noun.

no, have yet several reports to receive from
others of the neighbors." "Then," repliedthe
boy, "you will not be justified in proceeding to
extreme measures until the official count is

PHARISEES.


PHARISEES. Il, - 'i,ia5 .,f,5,.
In the time of our Saviour, there was in the
land of Israel, class Of persons who were
known by the name of Pharisees. They were
very numerous and exercised great influence
in the affairs Of the country and the church
They belonged to no particular tribe, but were
composed Of members of all the twelve tribes
of Israel. Our Saviour said B. great deal to
these Pharisees, and a great deal about them /;
and, so far as we now remember, he never
spoke one single word of commendation to, or
about them. This is 30 remarkable that we
are led to inquire what was peculiar about
these Pharisees, that rendered them so odious
in the. eyes of the Saviour of sinners? -"
One of the peculiarities ofdthe Pharisees,
was that they thought they we're right and
every one else was wrong. This, being, the
case, we may remark that there are not i few
persons yet in the world, who have at least
one of the peculiar features of the Pharisees
of old. You, whoever you are, who think
that you are the only being in the whole
world who is,doing right are :Pharisaicsl in
your notions. ~ % =" '1l.h, VI
Another popularity Of the Pharisees Was
that they thought they were holy, and every
one who did not think.as they thought, say
as they said, and do as they did, was unhoE.
Just so it is yet. There are multitudes of
persons in the world to-day, who think that in
thought, word and deed, that they are so much
holier than the rest ofthe world, that it wonld
be like touching dead, body for them to
come in contact with any one else. Our sa-
viour called such creatures hypocritss and
perhaps this is their right name.
Again: These Pharisees thought and pl' am
ly intimated that they would be sased 9sasgio,
one else. With an air Of selfconfdep se, they
would say, "We be Abrsham's seSed. we
are safe. You are heathen and there is 90
hope for you" Just so il Is yet Modem
Pharisees think that no one saill get to heav-
en- but them and their folkss fN]
The last characteristic Of the Pharistes
which We mention, " was t,dat they would Meth
er enter the kiBgdomhof heaven themselves,
nor suffer Others I 70 1tanter in. This being the
case there areP 4rjsees yet. THERE'S class lA's
of men whose hdsiness seems to be to keep
men out of ,seaven. To- such our Saviour

"A CONDUCTOR Who WAS LIVING WITH.
IN HIS SALARY.-Says the Omaha (Neb.)
Bee: There we're several good stories told at
the conductors banquet, last evening, but the
one that created the most laughter was that
which was related by Conductor McElroy,
from Pennsylvania. He said that conduc-
tor on an Eastern road was approached by a
seedy-looking individual who wanted to get a
free ride, as he didn't have any money.
Cali right" said the conductor, "go for
ward into the smoking car, and I'll FIX. you
all right"
Soon afterward the conductor appeared in
the smoking car to collect fare from the pas
sengers. He took fare from everybody ex-
cept the dead-beat and another man, who hap
pened to be the superintendent of the road.
The superintendent noticed that he had over
looked this man, and asked him why he had
done it.
"Why, that's conductor" was the reply.
"His appearance does not indicate it. Look
at these clothes" said the superintendent.
"WeD." said the conductor, she can't help
that. He'sa conductor on Western road,
and he is one of those fellows who are trying
to live within their salary; and that's what
he has come to-" ,,s. -....,. min Ess
This was satisfactory to the superintendent,
and the man obtained his ride without further
inquiry, Mr.. McElroy stated that there was
nothing personal in the story. ~ ...s-,r..,
