READING FOR THE YOUNG.
THE DIsoBEDIENT CHILD.

He makes his mother sad,
The proud, unruly child.
Who will not brook
Her warning look.
Nor hear her counSelS mild.
He makes his mother sad.
Who, in his thoughtless mirth,
Can e'er forget
His mighty debt
To her who gave him birth.
He makes his mother sad,
Who turns from wisdom's way;
Whose stubborn will,
Rebeling still,
Refuses to obey.
He makes his mother sad.
And sad his lot must prove;
A mothers fears,
A mothers tears.
Are marked by God above.
Oh! who so sad as he
Who, DER a parents grave,
Too late repents,
Too late laments,
The bitter pain he gavef
May we ne'er know such grief,
Nor cause one feeling sad;
Let our delight
Be to requite,
And make our parents gladl

What a Child Did.

Only a few days ago mother and
her daughter, on their way from Phila-
delphia to Omaha, were changing
trains at one Of our passenger stations.
Suddenly the girl caught sight of her
father, San Franciscan, on his return
journey from New York. He had
parted from his wife six years ago on
account of some domestic infelicity.
The child called his name
20 papa! There's papa!"-and ran
to him. He clasped her in his arms.
But her work as peacemaker was
only begun, Now come over to man.
ma she continued, eagerly. do
speak to mamma She has cried so
much. and has told me often how good
papa always was" The appeal was ir-
resistible. The husband and father
looked at the wife aud mother, he
stepped quickly to her, they clasped
hands, and the unlooked-f for reconcilia-
ton was an accomplished fact The
west-bound train bore away a reunited

"We desire to return our thanks" observed

have drawn howl of pain from an Egyp

standing at the door of our office and defend
ing it against sheriff who wore horns and
hoofs and had come to take possession Of it

the music, 1t was the sweetest sound that ever
struck our ear, and we don't lay the seYenads
up against the boys. They didn't mean any
harm, and they probably saved our lfe."-

There is none, " replied Sir Edward

hundred miles an hour If you had ex-

without goods and slow passenger
trains crawling over them.
Mr.. Watkins Jr., as a man of greater
experience in this particular matter,
observed that the attainment OF such a
speed would be prevented by the diff
Guilty of getting rid of the steam. "be-

the engine above certain speed the
more the back pressure is"
What was the highest speed trav-
eled to-day? Seventy-twop" queried
Sir Watkins. mo" was our practical
mans reply, mot more than sixty-five.
Any speed above sixty miles an hour, is
got on a road with falling gradient.
They could have gone beyond sixty
five easily enough to-day, but there
was no need-there was no lost time to
make up. They kept level speed all
the way, but they had steady train
and an easy load, only four carriages;
and running with light train like
that. you are running under the best
possible conditions"
"The great secret in getting steady
train" remarked Sir Edward, "is to
have the vehicles the same length, the
same weight and all coupled we'll to-
gether. That was the case to-day, and
| never experienced easier running"
81 remember well" the veteran went
on to say, "when l was boy of eleven,
at the opening of the Liverpool and
Manchester railway, when poor dear
old Huskisson was killed at Rainhill,
old George Stephenson came down
with one of his engines to Manchester
to get doctors, and l remember the
Manchester papers next day said,
marvellous to relate the engine bear
ing George Stephenson coming into
Manchester, attained the extraordin-
airy speed of thirty-four miles an
hour That was looked upon as a
marvellous thing in those days"

You may go through station safely
with many points and crossings, but il
the points are not properly kept clean
and oiled you may go with a bang int
