Dangers from which Engineers Save the
Public and Themselves.


Ono who is accustomed to railway
travelling can scarcely realize how much
he is dependent for safety upon the en-
gineer. Added TO tho responsibility Of
their station, engineers are also in con.
stant danger of accidents caused by the
tricks OF Jealous rivals.
This rivalry, IL is said, sometimes
prompts to the doing of utterly mean tricks.
A Nickle Plato engineer after his very first
trip was laid OH because he had "cut out"
all the bearings OF his engine. He was re-.
instated, however,, after ho proved that
some rival had filled his oiling can pith
emery. Another new engineer was sus-
pended for burning out the fues Of his
boiler. Through grief at the loss of his
position he died, and then a conscience.
stricken rival confessed that he had put
oil in the tank so that IL foamed and showed
water at the top gauge, when in reality
there was scarcely quart in the boilerl
These intense jealousies, together with
the terrible anxiety incident TO their
work, have terribly straining effect on
the nerve, and statistics tell us that,
though Locomotive Engineers may look
strong and vigorous, they are not all a

FOR ALL WHO DIE.


Tho following poem wns regarded by Edgar

It hath been said for all who die
There Is n tear,
Some pining bleeding hoart TO Sigh
Der every bier;
but in that hour of pain and dread
Who viii draw near
Around my humble couch and shed
One farewell tcar2
who'll watch tho fast departing rav
In deep despair,
And soothe tho spirit on Its way
With holy prayorr
In words of woe,
And follow me to my long homo
Solemn and slow2
when lying on my earthly bed
In 10y sleep,
Who then by pure affection led
VIII come and wcepr
BY the pnle moon implant tho rose
Upon my brcnst
And bid i cheer my dark repoeo,
My lonely rcstp
Could ! but know when was sleeping
One faithful heart would thon be keeping
Watch all around,
As IL some gem lay shrined beneath
That cold sod S gloom,
T'would mtig ate the panRs OF death
And light the tomb
Yt in that hour II ] could feel
From halls OF CLEO
And beauty pressure ono would steal
In secrecy,
And come aud slt or stand by me
In night deep noon,
Oh, would ask of memory
No other boon.
But ah, a loneicr fate is minc
A deeper woe.
From all I've loved in youths sweet time
soon must go.
Draw round me my pale robes of whito,
In n dark spot
To sleep thro' deaths long, dreumless night,
Lone and forgot.

easy to practice. If person has no appe-
tite, but distressing nausea, sick head
ache, dyspepsia, boils, or any other i'll re-
sultlng from inaction of the bowels, it is
impossible to get up such a laugh as will
produce aldermanic corpulence. In order
to laugh satisfactorily you must be we'll,
