PURPOSE OF PAIN.
How it Develops Mans Energy as Well al
His Moral Nature.

How it Develops Mans Energy as Wen as
His Moral Nature.
1t is not cOnceivably possible-we Of
fer it as a suggestion to be considered,
and not as u theory to be accepted
that the object with which pain is sent
into the world is not the development
of mans moral nature so much as the
development of his energy. Man can
do one thing which God, from his very
perfectness, can not do, and that is,
make an effort; and whatever the
grand concealed purpose, a part of it
must be that man should strive. We
may not see what he can do by striv-
ing, or how he can add by striving to
the store of force in the universe: but
if we were not intended to strive, to
develop win, and display energy, and
make eXertions, the world would sure
ly have been made a very different one
from what it is. It is always whipping
him up, him and the animals. too.
There are only two forms of pain
which are absolutely universal among
sentient creatures, which men feel as
strongly as women, and animals more
keenly than both, and which human
beings, whether refined or degraded,
absolutely refuse to endure; and those
two are hunger and thirst, the two
grand impelling forces of the world.
Without these two pains. there would
be no world such rs we know il. The
wild animals would sumter away life
doing nothing; the useful beast, re-
leased alike from hunger and the

DISHONEST RRAKEMEN.

How They Encourage Surreptitfous Trav-
cling on the Pacific Coast.
Some of the brakemen on the South
ern Pacific are reaping rich harvest.
AS times grow better, the box-car inn
migration increases. Box-car passen-
gers are persons who travel at cheaper
fares than passengers who purchase
tickets from the company. Every
freight train arriving in Los Angeles
contains from one to u dozen passen-
gers of this sort. These passengers
can not be classed as among the regu-
lar tramp order. but are persons who
are willing to pay portion of the fare
charged by the company for trans
pOrtatiOn to different points through
out the country. A general box-car
passenger tariff exists among railroad
brakemen. Passengers travelling in
this style are usually well informed as
to the existing tariff rates. They well
know that these charges are not right
full fares, but are perfectly willing to
abide at these rates for the sake OF
travelling at Il cheaper rate than the
regular company fare. Passengers Of
this class are sought after at divisions
by brakemen, who make this their reg
ular business. The t'bums, - as they
call them, are stealthily slipped into a
box-car through their instrumertality,
while the general impression prevails
among the public that they are persons
who are styled as cheats"
After leaving the division the box
| cars are ''rustled" and the beats are
/ asked to produce stuff " They are
generally prepared to do this AL
kinds of fares are demanded. and in
case of a lack of finances jewelrv or
clothing is taken. If the person is well
| dressed, frequently the brakemen force
him to exchange new clothing for old,
with the alternative, upon refusal, of
being elected from the train. Tn the
instance of the lack of funds the unfor-
/ tunate traveller is forced to walk oil
await the arrival of the next train and
! take chances of passing over the road
/ upon it undiscovered. These fares re.
vert to the brakemen and are regarded
+ as perquisites. No record of these
/ fares appears upon the books Of the
/ company. As rule the money thus
| collected is usually equally divided
\ These fares are called "hcad end
/ fares The fares taken by the
/ conductor in the caboose are

/ These fares usually cover all the Incl.

SUMMER AND AUTUMN.

Thus was that summer day so fair,
Glad incense burdened all the air,
While Joyous life was everywhere.
A lad and lassie, rich in love,
In Hymen's bonds were strongly wOve,
Midst blessings falling from above.
And then a cot-a little farm;
Two willing hearts-no fear Of harm;
A husbands love-and strong, right arm
At eventide, when toll was DER,
They sat outside the cottage door
And buIlded castles by the score.
The fields are bare and turning brown.
The leaves are falling gently down,
Yon forests wear a russell crown.
The years Of summer life have sped.
Two-score and ten since they were wed.
IIoarfrost hath fallen on each head.
The little cot hath gone from sight,
But, in its place so warm and bright,
The great old house doth stand tonight.

A harvest sOwn IN joy and tears.
What OF the hopes, and signs, aad fearsf

a FORGOTTEN coNvlcr.
Story of a Criminal Who Has Not Had q
Visitor in Many Years.

Visitor in Many Years.
Says a Kingston IN. W dispatch: An
effort is being made to procure a pardon
for William Willis, who has been impris-
oned in the Clinton State Prison for TWEEN.
ty-one years for murder, and who viii,
unless the Governor interferes, have to
spend the remainder of his days there.
Since his entrance to the prison he had
not been visited by a single relative OF
friend up to few weeks ago, and never
sent or received a message of any kind.
The visitor who went to see him was
nephew from Illinois, who is doing all ha
can TO procure his relatives release. Al.
though many who could have recalled the
circumstances of the crime for which vii.
lis was sentenced to be hanged and after"
ward reprieved and sent oprison are long
since dead, many old residents of this vi
entity express themselves as believing
that Willis has been sufficiently punished
for the murder, which had many extenu.
ating circumstances.
Willis was a veteran of the late war.
He was young blacksmith in ElIenvilIa
before he went to help settle the great
question, and was engaged to be married
TO Jane Conyes, of Napanock, N. Y, near
here. During the struggle the young PEG
pie corresponded with each other, and
letters produced at the trial showed that
the young woman still made Willis believe
that she was true to him and waiting for
his return. He came home to find that she
had been two years married, had little
child, and had used the money he had
sent her to enrich another mans home.
This blow to the man who had tried to
live for the sake of his promised wife wac
sufficient to arouse the most intense in,
dignation and rage in Willis heart.
While still excited after hearing the news
of her perfidy Willis went to the home OF
the woman, told her who he was and,
snatching a carving-knife from tho
table, stabbed her to the heart. He
then cut her throat and stabbed
the body fifty or sixty times. Will
lis went to the village where the hus-
band worked, told him of what he had
done, and surrendered himself up to the
authorities. He was lodged in Kingston
Jail, and at the next sitting of the grand
jury was indicted for murder in the first
degree, tried by the court, and sentenced
to be hanged. A reprieve, however, was
granted pending argument for a new
trial, which was granted. The sentence
same as the first, that he should be
banged. Again he was reprieved, and
through the efforts of the late Judge Theo-
dore Westhrook, his counsel, who brought
all the extenuating circumstances in the
case before Governor Fenton, aft 7 a
weary imprisonment of over a year in a
gloomy underground dungeon in Ulster
/ County jail, Willis sentence was commut.
cd to imprisonment 1t hard labor for life.
Twice was the gallows erected at Kings
ton to hang Willis, and twice was he
reprieved on the morning set for his exc
cution.

A Miraculous Escape.

A most exciting scene occurred the other
day near Toulouse, France. The female
guard at aIplace where the railroad crosses
a highway, hearing the express coming,
emerged from her house and saw her child,
three years old, struggling to get his knee
out from between the rails, which held it
tight. She ran to the child, but could not
get him away. A man coming along, she
left him TO pull the child out, and ran to
open the gate and give signs to the engi-
neer to stop the train. He saw her, and
Immediately slackened speed, but failed
to reverse the locomotive quick enough.
The man, being unable o get the little ono
out, left the child upon the rails, when the
locomotive was within a few feet of him.
The cowcatcher seized the child, threw it
about twenty feet forward, and it came to
the ground with nothing but few con-
tusions.
