He walked behind the bar, where some
old blankets were lying, and stretched
himself upon them.

Getting It Out of Him.

They had just the loveliest sleighine,
and young Keepitup was out enjoying it
all one afternoon. When he drove into
the stable, oh! but the man was mad.
He roared when he looked at the horse
and danced around, and, as Uncle Remus
says, she Gust, he did,
"Look atthat boss" he walled, "look
at that boss! Amt a dry hair on him,
an he's nigh ready to drop. That's a
pretty lookin' way to bring in a boss.
Nice man, you are, to let good boss

Young Keepitup was fairly astonished.
"Man alive" he yelled, picturing his
amazement in his voice, .'and what did
you expect when hired him? When a
horse is costing me an even S. an hour,
he's got to keep moving, you under

THE ENGINEER,s MURDER.
BY HENRY Monroap..

Yes, once committed murder,
Outside of the realms Of law
That sposs the body of people
Would not heed tbs worth Of straw;
But think should sleep the sounder,
sometimes when the night winds wall,
never remembered the murder
Or never told over the tale.
g No matter the road was running.
In one OF the Middle States.
30 many years since that wonder
Why the sorrow never abates.
was young, and h. ty, and savage,
AS youth is apt t., be;
And my hand-my hand, you will fancy
Was trihe too ready and free.
81 was in my caboose just at evening,
Say tween Holden and Fiddlers Run,
Making time to reach Waymans siding
For the up-train, at Ave twenty-one-
had had q hot box at Cheeseman's,
And that put Inc four minutes behind;
So felt iikethe word is ugly,
But the truth-hke going 1t blind!'
"Round the curve, and running-say forty
Or IT may have been hfty--wh knows,
And there on the track, before me,
black fend at full scream, arose;
A dog that sat down in the middle
Between the two lines Of rail,
And howled, like fiend incarnate
With mixture Of bark, yell and vail,
"Did stop? Not much! just opened
The throttle-valve, by mite,
And over that dog abe went flying,
And over something else-whtte: .f
stopped her then with shudder
And ran back in mangled heap
Lay the dog, and what had been lately ~.

Have never got over it? No, sir!
And never shall till die!
Why didn't heed the warming,
IT twas only black dogs cry?
may have done many more murders,
And tits likely have on the whole;
But there's none, when the night winds arc howItns
That lay such weight on my soul!
Sand what Is the worst Of my sorrow?
Don't make the one grand mistake!
shouldn't grieve twice, I've q fancy,
For the poor dead baby's sake!
But the dog that was doing his duty
SO nobly-I grieve for him;
And never tell over the story
But find my old eyes grow DIM
