The Little Child on the Track.

AS the freight train on the East Side
Road was coming into Stephens Adj
dition on Monday night the engineer
and fireman saw, to their horror, a
little child not over three years old,
balancing her tiny self upon one of the
rails ahead and clapping her hands in
greatest glee as the iron monster
Numbered along toward her. The en-
gineer shut off steam and reversed the
lever, while the fireman sprang to the
top of the train and set two or three
brakes quicker and tighter than they
had ever been set before. To blow the
whistle would be nothing but murder,
thought the engineer, for 1t would
surely freighten the child and cause
her to fall in front of the train. So he
called out, and probably the tones of
his voice had never before been so ten
derby mouulated. But calliug and
motioning were of as little avail as the
endeavors to stop the heavy train so
suddenly. The little girl, knowing no
fear, was waving her sunbonnet and
her laugh could be heard in the cab
of the engine. The strong man clos
ed his ewes and feeling of sickness
came over him. BUTT was not des il
ed that that little lie should thus be
crushed out. Something-wasi it mere
chance or the brush of an angels
the wee one to reel and
tall backward away from the track,
her tiny feet almost touching the
wheels as they went rumbling past
Portland Oregonid's.

Street Scenes in Lyons.

After the first few days we began to

correspondent of The Boston transcript.
We knew the principal streets, and
yentured every day into hitherto I'M
familiar ways, for we were sure that
we could never go far without catch
ing glimpse of the Rhone, the Saone,
or the Place Pellecour, and from any
of those we could take our bearings and
easily find the way to our lodgings.
One morning we started on an early
walk, accompanied by a friend who
was to do her days marketing. There
were stalls and booths all along the
quay, and crowds of housekeepers
were busy lay ing in supplies. Follow
ing their mistresses were servants car
rying large, coarsely Melted bags, in
which they put the vegetables that they
bought; and these bags jutted out and
bumped against one at every step.
