An Engineers Work.

When people hear about or ride upon extraordinary fast trains they seldom think of the severe strain and exctte- ment to which the brave men who run the engines are subjected. To sit in 8 passenger coach and glide over smooth track is 8 very different thing from stand ing on the shaking foot-board, with hand on the lever, straining eyes and ears to detect possible danger, every nerve tense and every nerve centered on the safe accomplishment of the journey upon which so many lives depend. What such a labor means is shown, to some degree, in a recent dispatch announcing the death, at the early age of thirty, of Will liam Phillips, the engineer who ran the celebrated Jarrett x Palmer train from Jersey City to Pittsburgh, 8 distance of AS miles, without a stop. The dispatch says "Mr. Phillips has been sick for nearly year past, his illness dating really from the time when he undertook the task of running the Jarrett X Palmer train. He accomplished the feat in less than schedule time, but the strain on his system was so severe that he never re- covered from it. He continued on duty and was called upon invariably when 6 trusty man was required, but his health became more precarious and he was finally compelled to relinquish his posi- tion "

ion, we must have pits lined with ma sorry, and the follower, instead of being 8 mass of heavy earth, consists of blanks heavily weighted. But that all this extra preparatory work is not essential is proved by past experience, and there fore one need not be deterred from try ing this possibly very useful method of preserving some kinds of fodder, by fear of the expense of masonry pits. A Yer mont correspondent of The Country Gentleman gives an account of his en- tire success in ensilaging corn in trenches, and feeding his COWS on the product, together with hay, from early in December till March. His cattle and sheep preferred it to the best hay, and his COWS gave one-third less milk after the ensilage fodder was withdrawn from the ration {; this falling off in the milk, however, may have been temporary re- suit of sudden change in the feed. Trials of the ensilage fodder in France have appeared to show that it makes the milk richer in fat, but does not always increase the flow.

Making a True Home.

Many of our young housekeepers, writes Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, faint and fall by the way after few months trial, and, relinquishing their brightest chance for securing true home, seek release from all responsibility in boarding house. And Why? For the most part because their mothers have been cruelty kind and indulgent. They permit their daughters Igirlhood to slip by without accustoming them to any care or responsibility. They forget that to make their children useful and help full in youth will lay the foundation for more true happiness and enjoyment than can be found in life of indolence and selfishness. They forget that there are home lessons each day that should have equal thought and attention with those that are enforced in schools, if they would fit their daughters for cheer full, intelligent, skillful home-makers. If our girls grow up with no higher ambition. than to pass through their school education with only just that amount of knowledge which will be deemed respectablein fashionable circles, devoting all their time out of school hours to street. walking and silly gossip, with not one moment given to domestic duties, who can wonder that they make unreasonable, indolent, Incompetent housekeepers !?
 Now and then we find one whose natural good sense has not been entirely destroyed or perverted by the unfortu nate indulgence, or carelessness of tht mother. If such one marries, ane truly loves her husband, she will throw off the letters, and have courage to study the art of housekeeping until she be comes an expert in the business. If sh' will do this, by quick observation ant thoroughly systematic management, sh' will build up delightful home, where husband and children will rise up ant call her blessed.

His Earnest Headings.

Trifers with feminine affections do not always get off cheaply. Ayoung clergy man, wise enough to choose well, but foolish enough to allow himself to be ruled by his friends, after proposing to 8 young lady, declined to fulfill the en- gagement and being sued for breach of promise, was cast in damages-fve thou sand pounds. This brought him to his senses. Seeking the plaintiff, he owned that he had behaved infamously, but vowed that he had loved her all the while and loved her still, and prayed her to forgive and forget.
 My friends said he "can make no objection now; they cannot say you are without penny, since you have five thousand pounds of your very own."
 His pleading proved irresistible, and the lady and money were soon his own again. Marriage made amends for all.

A Singular Sight.
AN ARMY OF FEELS MAKING ITS WAY UP
 RIVER.

Any person who may stand on the bank of the Delaware River at the head of tide-water at this season of the year, says letter from Milford, Pa., to the New York Times, will see what at first sight appears to be huge serpent nov ing up the stream near the shore. It is very black, and from eight to twelve inches through. If the spectator waits to see the end of this moving mass, he must remain on the shore for three or four days, for it will be that long in passing; and if he is not versed in the habits of fish, he will be surprised, upon investigating the character of this ap- parently endless line of life, to find that it is made up of diminutive cells, none of them more than two inches in length, many of them no larger around than 8 knitting needle, and all so compactly crowded together as to form almost a solid body. They have just left the deep mud that forms the bottom of the river where the tide meets the water from above, and where they were deposited as spawn weeks before. They are on their way to the creeks and upper waters of the river, and by the time the smallest of them have gone one hundred miles on the way they will have attained a length of two or three inches, so rapidly do eel fry grow. The compact form in which these young cells make their transit from the brackish water is retained until they reach the rapid upper waters, when they become more or less separated, and com plete the journey in smaller schools. When they reach point where tribu- tary stream enters the river, thousands leave the main body as if by prearrange- ment, and make their way up the smaller stream. while the great mass moves on up the river, until the drafts made by the quickly-recurring tributaries have reduced it to comparatively small pro- portions. During this strange journey the mass of cells is open to the attacks of marauding pickerel, black bass, and other ravenous inhabitants of the river, which lie in wait among the rocks and weeds along the shore and feed to repletion on the tender prey. A pickerel will dart out upon the eels from his hiding-place, and striking the moving body with his ponderous jaws wide open, pass clear through it, and fill his great mouth with eels at a single dash. A slight commo- ton in the wriggling army follows, but the next instant the ranks are intact again. The eel that was the size of a milliner's needle when it started out on it's journey up the river will be nearly a foot and half long and weigh pound or more when he starts down stream in the fall.

MAKING A PoNT.-An English judge recently made use of a very homely simile to make Yorkshire jury comprehend 8 technical point which could only be itself decided by an expert. A firm at Leeds ordered load of timber, "equal to best Dantzic middles. When it came it was found to consist of another and an in- ferior sort. The way the judge put the question was this eff man orders a horse, and the dealer sends 8 donkey, is he bound to accept the inferior animal :? or if one thing is ordered and another sent, are you legally bound to accept that other ?" The jury promptly found for the plaintiff.

A TRUE SToRY.-This was an actual occurrence in 8 Pittsburg restaurant the other day. One of those fellows who are eccentric because they imagine they are wits, sat down, looked over the bill of fare, and said to the waiter "Bring me an umbrella and a dollar and half. !" Just to see what was coming, the waiter filled the order, bringing a dilapidated old gingham umbrella that looked as if Noah might have bought it new for seventy cents to hold over him when he took in the prospect from the window. Anything else?" said the waiter. "Yes, cup of coffee. The coffee was brought, he drank it, and the waiter gave him the check. It was $2.55 And when the funny man realized that he had paid S1 for that old umbrella, and joke about as bad as the umbrella, he felt like kicking himself all the way down stairs.
