Making Railway Travel Safe.

An apparatus has just been invented which is
simply astounding, for with 1t the traveller need
no longer fear any accidents Safety will be as
sured On railroads. This apparatus permits
the employe charged with the duty to see in a
mirror the entire section of the road he ia To
control, with ali the trains in motion, and no
knows at every instant just exactly where each
train is. When one Of them approaches another
at distance which is dangerous he can imme-
diately signal the meraced train. The APPARATUS
consists Of sheet Of Opaque glass, on Which the
rails are indicated by horizontal lines, and the
arrows. representing the trains, move along the
horizontal lines. They are put in motion by aid
of electricity. developed by the contact Of metal
lie brushes attached to the locomotives, with sinc
bands placed along the rails. The train thus
continually traces its trajectory tho glass iii-

Nobodt Reaiiy Cared.

II you anything to grieve You,
And FIJI your heart with fears,
II Poverty bides near you.
And your days are dirnmed by tears,
If you find with soul despaning
No answer TO your prayers,
Don't say word about it, for
Nobody really cares.
If health and strength forsake you,
And pain and sickness bring
A gloom that clouds the sunshine
Ard shadows everything,
If you feel that lot so weary,
But seldom mortal BEARS
Don't say word about it, for
Nobody really cares.
This world is fond Of pleasure,
And, take il at its best,
IT'S sadly bored unless you
Meet il with smile and jest:
It yawns Ger Wants complainings,
At Sorrow coldly stares,
So never tell your troubles, for
Nobody really cares. ~.

Youths Companion.

A dozen rough but brave soldiers were playing
cards one night in camp. "What on earth ia
thatF suddenly exclaimed the ringleader, stop
ping In the midst of the game to listen. In 8
moment the whole squad were listening to low,
solemn voice which came from tent occupied
by several recruits, whe had arrived in camp
that day. The ringleader approached the tent
on tiptoe.
Boys he's a,praying, or I'm a sinner!" no
shouted another man Of the group as the prayer
ended.
''You watch things for three weeksl I'll
show you how to take the religion out Of him!n
said the first speaker, laughing. He was large
man, the ringleader in mischief. The recruit
was slight palefaced young fellow Of about
eighteen years of age During the next three
weeks he was the butt of the camp. Then sew
eral OF the boys, conquered by the lads gentle
patience and and uniform kindness to his perse-
cutors, begged the others to stop annoying him.
"Oh, the little ranter is no better than the ress
OF us" answered the ringleader. Hes only
making believe pious. When we get under FIRE
youn see him run. These pious folks don't like
the smell of gunpowder. I've no faith in their
religion"
In a few weeks the regiment broke camp,
marched towards Richmond, entered the wilder
ness, and engaged in that terrible battle. The
had desperate struggle Th s'' brigade 0n ssa
driven back, and when the line was reformed
behind the breastworks they had built in the
morning, he was missing. When last seen he
was almost surrounded by enemies, but fighting
desperately. At his side stood the brave fellow
who had made the poor lad constant object Of
yidicule Both were given up as lost. Suddenly
the big man was seen tramping through the I'M
derbrush, bearing the dead body Of the recruit
Reverently he laid the corpse down, saying, as
he wiped the blood from his own face:
"Boys, l couldn't leave him with the rebs-he
fought SO! I thought he deserved a decent
burial
During lull in the BATTLE the men dug shall
low grave, and tenderly laid the remains
therein. Then, as one was cutting the namie
and regiment upon board, the big man said,
with husky voice
II guess you'd better put the words
Christian Soldier in somewherel He de-
serves the title, and maybe it'll console him fcR
our abuse"
There was not dry eye among those rough
men, as they stuck the rudely-carved board at
the head Of the grave, and again and again
looked at the inscription.

If there ever was one! And" turning to the

Both speeches Had Good Points.

Washington letter.
Emery Storrs, the noted lawyer and politician
Of Chicago, was asked the other day which
sidered the ablest He replied promptly, with .
grave face and an earnest air: There were two
ablest speeches Of the last campaign, and am
unable to decide which should rank above the
other. Ono was my speech which delivered at
the Hreinc,,t Temple In Boston. and tho other
was the speech which delivered at Cleveland
The Boston speech was certainly tho ADLER OF the
two in n doctrinal point of view, but the other
perhaps surpassed it for pleasing eloauence.'

''There were Six Roses on . Tree"

N AAGAO StOAO VA 4eVSV7 Wa - - OSs
There were six roses on tree;
Each rose had its own destiny:
One to the bridal went,
Another, wet with many tear,
Exhaled upon the lifeless bier
Its beauty and its scent.
One went unto the Queen Of Song,
One faded in the bah rooms throng,
And one on Beatftv,s breast;
The last sweet bud, with holy prayer,
Was laid upon the altar STAIR
0 rose so pure, SO best!
Flowers symbol life, as all things do.
Some plain and some Of splendid hue,
!. Some full of virtue sweet,
Some hiding poison ir their heart,
Some of royal life part,
Some flung upon the street.
No chance or change of human fate
But on the Sinfess roses wait;
!, And yet, whate'er their lot,
With equal loneliness they spring
Within the garden of king
Or BY a PEASANTS cot.

At the Close.

Il
When tho harris white with the dust of years,
And our days glide under the fringe OF night;
When our eyes are wet with their twilight tears,
And the paths Of pleasure elude our sight;
When hope is ashes and friendship clay,
Aud hearts are DUST under dust above;
When every rose by the lonesome way
Draws up its life from a tomb of love;
When the near horizon thai bounds our ken
Blends slowly into the gloom about,
and the darkness steals TO the heart-ah, then,
The inner eyes OF the soul look out.
For the sunbeams prison the feeble sight
Around cur feet with their golden bars,
But up The path OF the coming night
The vistas reach to the realm of stars.
When veil seems lifted and rent aside,
And things afar-they Oh so near;
And the things aDear into distance glide
And strange new things-how they grow SO dear.
And we love our griefs for the joys they wake
And our pain for the ease that follows pain,
As we love the rain for the rainbow's sake,
Or the fearful song for its sweet refrain.
Then things are bright that were dull as lead,
And things are sweet that were gall.
Dur dead hopes lie in the arms of our dead,
And We shed no tear. and we drape no pall
Then all our pleasures are broken toys,
And Fame sweet siren has lost her vile;
We bury the corpses of persisted joys,
And turn aside from their tofnbs and smile.
For why should We mourn that the day has fed,
Or why should the gathering shades appall,
Though feet that over the valley sped
Stand moveless now, by the mountain wall;
Let those who wake with the morning weep
For all the tolls Of the coming day:
The gloom of night, be it ne'er so deep
But oYershadows BAH of clay.
VI.
Regrets and longiags are bootless, all,
For time is swifter than hopes of men,
And it is meet that the cleaning fall
Between the shores Of the now and then;
For hearts that else {, the earth would yearn,
Shut in by shadows that lie below,
like sailors wrecked on the main, will turn
TO where the lights of the beacons glow.
