Saving a Train,

On Sunday evening last an incident oc-
Cured on the Western railroad that will
cause surprise wherever it is spoken of.
The train was within thirty miles of
Montgomery, running ut n rapid rate,
all unconscious of danger. The engi-
neer spied white handkerchief on q
pole, tluttering in the road some dis
tance up the track. On getting nearer
lie discovered it was some one waving
the down train. The shrill whistle was
sounded, brakes put on and the train
brought to a standstill. The heads of
the passengers were popping out of the
windows, inquiring what the trouble
was, no station being near.
The conductor came out, and seeing
II tramp was the one who had caused
a rather angry manner what was
wanted. This man, who belonged to
class almost universally despised and
subjected to cuffs and kicks, astonished
the conductor by informing him that
about eighteen inches of rail was
broken out short distance further on.
The broken place WAS repaired, the
train about to move off, when the con-
ductor saw the tramp standing on the
roadside, asked:
Where do you want to goP"
The tramp replied:
ITO Pensacola"
Then" said the conductor, why
don't you get on the train?"
The reply was
Because l have no money"
The conductor told him to get aboard,
that he would take him to Montgomery.
On arriving in the city the fact was re
porte to the general manager of the
road, who asked the man which he
would have, money or work The man
mcnt. 4 position was Mt once given
him. At last accounts he was ut work
and doing well.- Columbus (Ga.) En-

Crocus.


Oh, the dear, delightful sound
OF the drops that to the ground
From the caves rejoicing run
In Che February sun?
Drip, drip, drip, they slide and slip
From the icicle's bright tip,
Till they melt the sullen snow
On the garden bed below.
" Bless me what is all this drumming ~
Cries the crocus, al am coming
Pray don't knock so long and loud,
For I'm neither cross nor proud,
But little sleepy still
With the winters lingering chill.
Never mind 'Tis time TO wake,
'Tis as quickly done as said,
Up she thrusts her golden head,
Looks about with radiant eyes
In kind OF shy surprise,
Tries to say in accents surly,
"Well you called me very early !"
But she lights with such n smile
All the darksome plac Q the while,
Every heart begns to Stir
Joytully at sight of her;
Every creature grows more gay
Looking in her face to-day.
She is greeted, "welcome, dear!
Fresh smile of the hopeful year!
First bright print of springs light feet,
Golden crocus, " welcome, sweet !"
And she whispers, looking up
From her richly glowing cup,
At the sunny caves so high
Overhead against the sky,
"Now I've come, oh, sparkling drops,
All your chattering pattering stops,
And I'm very glad l came,
And your 'ernot the least to blame
That you hammered at the snow
Till you wakened me below
With you're one incessant tune.
I'm not here bit too soon !"

The father knew if his son did not.
lie had observed a number o: cheap
novels scattered about the house, but
he had not thought it worth while to
say anything until fitting orportn.:

apples stood upon tie floor, and he
said
Empty those apples, and take the
basket and bring it 10 me half full Of
chips, And now,' he continued, put
those apples back into the basket.
Whan hslf the apples we're replaced

Father, they roll off: ! cant put id

Tho man slept and dreamed that q small

Solid boys, solid let the swelling column be;
Solid as the phalonx Of the Greeks when they were
Solid be the battlomcnts Of each becapuered town,
Solid rs the mountain that refuses 10 come down
solid be your hearts as the marble In the hill, 49,
For solid resolutions will maintain a stalwart VIII
solid, now, solid, for It took q solid north
To save tic threatened union from q rampant
solid south.
Solid boys, solid let the column be to-day,
solid Is your enemy advancing 10 the Fray
Solid Is The shout that the southern throat pours
ont;
Solid he the answer that returns that solid shout
Solid be the weapon, undivided be the stroke,
IL tnkcsn solid implement TO fell n solid oak;
SolidsbOys, solid let us meet them knee to knee,
And build q solid union mp for ali eternity.
Solid boys. solid, beat your myriad spears In one
Behold the monster weapon, how 1t flashes back
the sum
Solid be the march boys uniosilcd be the tramp
And solid be the ponoply around the union camp
Solid he the corner Of the building YOU begin,
solid be the march oil your shoulders knit IN one,
For that's the way VIC met EN- once and that's the
why we won.
Solid be your banner as It's own suggestive sky,
The cynosurc Of beauty as IL beaCons freedoms

Solid be the unbrokon nerves that wave that flag
above
To shelter iGy millions In the canopy ofloye;
Solid be your purposes ms that grand citadel
Erected by your sircs when the British lion fell;
Defend the sacred legacy, obscrve the ancestral
vow,
The issue then was liberty, aud that's the issue
