a Celestial Headlight.

A railroad engineer, recounting his
experiences, said that he had thus far
escaped smash-ups, but that he thought
he was "in for it, one night. Said he:
at was a clear autumn evening, aud l
was running passenger train In Vir-
ginia. We were a little behind time,
and ] was whooping the old machine
along at good pace. There was q strip
of cypress forest to go through, and the
road, on clearing IL, took n sharp turn
to westward. Just as we made that turn
my liver came right up between my
teeth, for there, coming straight down
the track, was another engine, with her
headlight flaming in my eyes. ! blew
down brakes aud had my engine re-
versed before I'd drawn half n breath,
and sent the train back on n dead run 20
a switch station about mile behind US.
| got 1t on siding, and waited for the
other train, that supposed TO be just on
top Of us, but she didn't show up. got
the agent TO wire up the line and see II
there were any special or wild engines
in the way, but the answer was that the
line was clear. The passengers got out,
and began TO talk and ask questions,
and as for the, was stumpcd. / thought
Of runaway locomotives and train
wreckers and tramps. Everything was
quiet around the bend, so far as I could
see and hear. While standing on the
station platform happened to glance
westward across a clearing; there was
the headlight shining through the cy-
presses, as serene and steady ~ you
please. II was the planet Venus. Well,
IL any man had offered fifteen cents for
me, he could have had me just as stood.
] got away from there In hurry, and
didn't allow the passengers TO dis
cover what was the matter. Lor'! II It
had got around that I had laid over TO
let the evening star 20 by, I'd never
have heard the last Of IT,"

Asking a Little Too Much.

A Connecticut paper says: A crude

with huge swinging doors on both sides,

driving a row of stakes through bis

SHEPHERDsTOWN w. VA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1885,
In the Firelight.
The fire upon the hearth is low,

The fire upon the hearth is low,
And there is stiffness everywhere
Like troubled spirits here and there
The freight shadows huttering go.
And as the shadows round me creep,
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from further room
Comes: Now lay me down to sleep"
And, somehow, with that little prayer
And that sweet treble in my ears,
Ny thought goes back to distant years
And fingers with dear one there;
And as hear my child's amen,
My mothers faith comes back to me
Crouched at her side seem to be.
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh, for an hour Of that dear place
Oh, for the peace Of that dear time
Oh, for that childish trust sublime
Oh, for glimpse of mothers face!
Yet, as the shadows round me creep,
do not seem to be alone
Sweet magic of that treble tone,
And Now lay me down to sleep"

Mr.. Ingenius Workhard, says the
Cleveland PLAIN Dealer, has just accom-
plished wonderful feat. which he re-
luctantly permits the Plain Dealer to
make public. Mr.. Ingenius workhard
has performed great service for his
country, 1t will be observed, and he de-
serves a chrome from every thoughtful
citizen. or course he will not receive
one from every thoughtful citizen, but
ii he did it would be no more than he
deserves.
Mr.. Workhard was the happy possess
sor of goo1 fat hen, which, like other
good fat hens, lail one egg day, In
Guiding Sundays. Mr.. Workhard, how.
ever, was not satisfied with what his
good fat hen accomplished In this direc-
ton, so he set about to devise ways and
means by which il would be persuaded
to add TO the daily delivery. Coaxing
proved (henl fruitless, and cruel treat
ment was In vain. workhard wracked
his brain and studied. At last he hit
upon plan.
o o
A nest with a false bottom was con.
structed. 1t worked automatically, I'm
such way that when the good fat hen
laid her accustomed egg IL would 20 be-
yond the seeming limits Of the nest aud
peacefully reposc beneath the false bot
tom away from galllnaceous sight. The
good fat hen was cautious bird, aud
was accustomed TO look into the nest af-
ter she had deposited her egg, In order
TO assure herself that IL was really there
before beginning her gleeful cackle.
The first time the ingenious nest was
put In position the hen was nearly
knocked over the ropes In one round
with astonishment when she found no
egg. CONSERVATION was on her face.
IL occurred 10 the hen, however, that
she had made mistake. She was OF her
base. She had laid no egg. SO, like tho
good hen she was, she Immediately pro-
ceeded TO lay another.

The scheme worked well. Workhard
gathered in two eggs a day for some
time, and then yearncd for more. The
mes: was altered SO that two eggs would
drop through the false bottom instead
Of one, and a third egg was laid by the
hen. The old hen thought Il was mighty
funny, but being unsusplcious she did
not suspect. The good work went on,
aud the number Of eggs which suddenly
disappeared was increased gradually
until the good fat hen every day laid
