The Engine.

Into the gloom OF the deep, dark night,
With painting breath and startled scream,
Swift as bird in sudden flight
Darts this creature Of steel AMI steam.
Awful dangers are lurking nigh,
Rocks and ohasms are near the track,
But straight by the light of its great white eye
1t speeds thro' the shadows, dense and black.
Terrible thoughts and fierce desires
Trouble its mad heart many an hour,
Where burn and smolder the hidden fires,
Coupled over with might and power.
It hates as wild horse hates the rein,
The narrow track by vale and hill;
And shrieks with cry OF startled pain,
And longs to follow its own wild will.
Oh, what am but an engine shod
With muscle and flesh by the hand OF God,
Speeding on thro' the dense, dark night,
Guided alon by the souls white light.
Often and often my mad heart tires,
And hates its way with bitter hate,
And longs to follow its own desires,
And leave the end in the hands OF fate.
Oh, ponderous engine of steel and steam;
Oh, human engine of flesh and bone
Follow the white lights certain beam
There lies safety, and there alone.
The narrow track OF fearless truth,
Lit by the soul's great eye of light,
Oh, passionate heart of restless youth,
Alone will carry you thro' the night.
Ella Wheeler, in Infer Ocean.

The comparative force of gunpowder
and dynamite was discussed by two
miners at Tunka, Cal. They agreed, as
a test, to explode certain quantities of
the substances under two planks, the
friend of gunpowder to stand on the
dynamite plank and the friend Of dyna-
mite on the other. The trial was made
in the presence of an interested crowd
of spectators. 1t resulted In a broken

gunpowder threw against the trunk of a

They sat by household fires,
And talked OF matters weighty,
Our graudams and our sires;
They talked Of matters weighty,
While broad tho blaze uprolled,
Beside their hearths in Eighty,
That time of awful cold.
The hard frost figured grimly
Along the window glass
How large the old-time chimney
How wide the fireplace wasl
The Solid Goals dropped under,
The brnzen andiions 81 lDwed,
The iore-stick lell asunder,
DSop riits the backlog showed.

OF woes that war revealed,
While round the wallis tho shadows
e. OF British armies wheeled;
They talked OF Earl CORVALLIS,
OF Britain and her might;
Their cause their only solace,
Their only strength the right.
They told OF insults wanton,
And guessed with forward Wow,
At what Sir Henry Clinton,
With opening spring, would do.
They named each friendly nation
France, Holland, even Spain,
And gathered consolation
FROM Stony Point and Wayne.
Whh retrospective iervor,
1ney talked OF Charlestown Neck,
Oi-Gates by Hudson river,
And Arnold at Quebec.

And battles lost or won,
They bronthed with ardent faces
The name OF Washington.

They spoke oil doubtful stais,
or shoeless men contending
With red-ooat regulars.
And thus with matters weighty,
Things past or things to come,
Each household hearth in Eighty
Was stirred as by the drum.
The warrior cold stood sentry,
At windows and at doors;

And streaked the sanded floors.
But ever with the knitting,
Or with the open book,

Midway between Opoliston and Ma
troVille was junction of three rail
roads. Tracks crossed and curved
around each other till the ground APP
peared to be covered with an iron net
work.
How it happened no one ever learned,
but two switches had been left mis-
placed, and as the train bound from
Opoliston to Matroville came thunder
ing on it shot off in the wrong direction,
then seemed to stand still for second,
then seemed to shiver all over, and the
next second the engine lay on its side,
under two coaches, its driving wheel
revolving so that no spokes could be
seen, fiinging earth and stones and ashes
like volcano.
Then, ere any warning could be given,
on rushed the train from Opoliston
bound for Metroville. A shrek from
the whistle, and engines, cars, baggage,
railroad ties and tracks became one
unsightly mass, half hidden by escaping
steam.
In five minutes the discovery was
made that no one had been killed and
very few injured, and those but slightly.

the lady. "Now," he added, turning

duct me to the young lady will GO

The surgeon was Arthur Delaney,
and his conductor presented him to a
very pretty young lady who was reeiin,

eyes and black curls. She did not ap
pear to be in much pain, and smiled
archly at Arthur.

surance Company, says; 1t shows the
continued prosperity of that exception

ton. No life company in the country,
as o'the solid character of its assets and

surplus above all liabilities has added
the sum of $3.50, $500. The receipts

In Belgium the flying of pige ons has
become a national pastime. In no coun-
try on the globe is the raising of carrier
pigeons carried on to the degree of per-
fection that it is there. And in no coun-
try Goes the raising of pigeons and the
transporting ofthem for racing purposes
form such an item of importance to the
government as it does there. Here are
some figures which seem Incredible, but
which are vouched for as "ofiicial.
The pigeon fanciers of Belgium paid
$50, 900 to the Belgium government as
freight for transporting pigeons last
year alone. 1t is claimed that 800, 600
pigeons were taken from Belgium into
France the former country being too
small for the starting of any important
races within its own bounds - during
1879. The greatest race of recent years
was thar of last year, from Rome to
Brussels, distance of 900 miles. Eleven
hundred birds were entered and less
than two hundred ever returned The
rest were lost one way or another. Four
of these birds, singularly enough, got to
Philadelphia. They were picked up at
sea by an Italian vessel, the Clara Pick
ems, bound for that port, a short dis
tance off the island of Majores, in the
Mediterranean, 400 miles from the land,
so tired that they ahghted on the ves-
sci and were caught while asleep.
These birds had their owners marks
stamped on their feathers.

In deepening a river In the neighbor-
hood of Norrkoping, says the Timber
Trades Journal, in order to make it ac-
cessible for ships of heavier draught,
among several objects of interest
brought up from the bottom, eight oak
trees were found at depth of seven feet
under the old bottom. The bark was
almost decayed, and when it was taken
off the wood was found to be hard and
black, resembling ebony. The trees are
supposed to have been lying in the
earth 800 years. The trees have been
usinR them for cabinet work.

The evidence taken before the court OF
inquiry into the Tay bridge disaster
brought out nothing of any importance,
except the fact that one of the officials
IN the south side of the bridge noticed
sparks Issuing from the train through
out nearly the whole distance between
the south side of the bridge and the high
girders. These sparks appear to have
been due to the great pressure of the
wind grinding the train against the
rails on the eastern side of the bridge.
One of the guards gave evidence TO hav-
ing witnessed the same thing on q previ-
Gus occasion, when a very strong west
wind was blowing, and 10 its having so
alarmed him that, thinking an axle was
broken, he put on the brake. At the
point, too. where the catastrophy oc-
Cured. the rails were broken out on the
eastern side, as though torn up by the
excessive pressure of the train from
their place. For the rest, nothing has
been discovered, nor is now likely to be
discovered, as to the character of the
disaster, except that one witness living to
the west of the bridge, but above it, de-
elared that he saw a girder give way
and fall into the river before the train
came up.
