he at once repaired to the scene to find Mr..

we learn that no one knew of his death until
found by some one passing. There seemed
to be sort of mystery about the affair.
The engine we understand was backing
very slowly, and MIR. Gavan must have been
lying on the track, for no sober man is like

Gayan, we are informed by parties who
knew him, was addicted somewhat to sprees

Hunting A Word.

g An anecdote of Moore, the Irish Doc

I right word in the right place. Moor
was on visit to Il ltarary friend II
france, and while there wrote shor
poem.
One day while the guest were engag-
: ed in his literary labor, the two took
stroll in the adjacent wood, and the
host soon preceved that his companion
was given up to his own thoughts; he
was silent and distracted, noticing nei-
Their his friend and entertainer nor The
surrounding beauties of the landscape.
by and-by he began to gnaw the fin
ger tips of his glove, pulling and twich.
ing systematically, and when this had
gone, on for long time, his friend ven.
tured to ask him what was the trouble.

and asked his friend if he could help
him. P
1t was delicate point. The friend
saw the need, saw where and how the |
present word Jared just the slightest biz
upon the exquisite harmony of the ca
dence; but he could not supply the
want.
The twain cudgelled their brains un-
I'll they reached the house on their re-
turn without avail.
The rest of the day was spent as usual.
IS was the evening, save that ever
and anon Moore would sink into silent
its in pursuit of the absent word. And

vent to bed in deep study. :
The following morning was bright
md beautiful, and Moore came down
rom his room with a bounding step. D.
With scrap of paper in his hand, and a
glorious light in his genial counten-
nee.
The word came to him! He was
wakened during the night and the

scrap from his note book, and at the
lndow, by the light of the moon, had

was my surprise and sincere qualification
TO see that he had the manliness, the moral
courage, the true bravery to resist the
temptation, and in clear ringing voice say
no. and passed on to his home with
