 Many days and years with ease, But time may have you side tracked lit the -witchman of disease. lou may cross the bridge of manhood,
 Run the tunnel long of strife. Having God for vOur conductor
 On the lightning train of life. Always mindful of instructions,
 Watchtul duty never lack, Keep your hand upon tie throttle And your eye upon the track. Name your engine "Iruc Religion When you're running day or night, Use the coal of faith for fuel
 And she'll always run you right. Ton need never fear of sticking" On the up grades long Inc road, IryouNc got "iIopc" for fireman Nou can always pull the load. lou will often find obstruction,
 By the cunning devil lain, on a i'll, n curve, or some place
 Where he'll try tU ditch your train. But YOU needn't fear disaster Jerk her opcn-let her go For tue King who rulrth all things All his plans will overthrow. Put your trust in God the savior, Keep agoing--dOn't look back, Keep your hand upon the throttle And your eyes upon the track. When you'Ne made the trip successful And you're al your journeys end, You will find the angels waiting To receive you as q friend. lou'll approach the Superintendent, Who is waiting for ybu now With blcs sed smile of welcome And a crown to deck your brow. Never falter in your duty,
 Put your faith and hope in Him, And you'll always find yOur engine In ihc best of running trim. Ring your bell and blow your whistle, Never let your courage slack, Keep yoar hand upon the throttle And your eye upon the track.

 In the latter part of the summer of 1863 l went up into northern Ohio, recruiting. l had heard of town where quite number of young fel- lows were ready to enlist and l thought l might as well have them as another. They came docking in, as soon as the news that was m the place got out. Fine, stalwart men, full of enthusiasm, longing to lay down their lives for their country. Most of them were unmarried, with no home ties to break, but among them was man named Jackson, much older than the others. He was married, had several children and owned little farm not far from the center of the town.
 ".Jackson." said l. as he prcsente" himself, "Nou let this business alone. There are plenty of young fellows to go to war, your place is with your family
 The mans face fell, evidently he was bound to be a soldier. "Oh, that will be all right he said. "Wc can't go without Jackson, anyway, said one of the boys.
 "The ncighbors are going to have bee and get in his crops" said another.
 There didn't seem much good III my objecting. Jackson passed q good examination, and was speedily enrolled in Company k, tn Ohio. i confess 1t worried me. hated tC take that man away from his family, and l suppose thought more about it than was really worth my while.
 Well, the day came when l must take the boys away. l had engaged some wagons to carry them a few miles across the country, to n point where we could strike the railroad. As we would pass by Jackson's place on our way, we agreed to take him up from there. When we stopped for him it was q bright, beautiful morning remember, the children were hanging about the door, crying and taking on like pack of looms. Mrs. Jackson clung to her husband E neck and sObbed aloud, and when the babies saw the wagons coming they caught him by the legs and cried out that he should not go Some of the neighbors, half dozef women or so, who had come to sec the thing through, after the manner of neighbors in the rural districts fell to crying, too, and l caA teI' Yo' it was ap unconmonN unpieasah place to he III.
 Jackson made several attempts t' get away, and each time the wife an' babies olung the closer and the cry ing went on louder than ever, Sud . denly he made a break, ran acros the garden, leaped over the fence anC into the nearest wagon and was oi without final good-by.

Belle Miller, a handsome young woman,
apparently about twenty-six years OF age,
made an unsuccessful attempt to drown
herself yesterday shortly after noon, in the
Mississippi river, just below the mouth of
Wolf.
About that hour she walked aboard the
transfer steamer Pierson, which was lying
ut the incline.
Capt. Maingault, who was coming
ashore, passed her on the trestle, but
thinking that she desired to see one Of the
crew, paid no attention to her She con-
tinued her course until the rear end OF the
steamer was reached, when she deliber-
ately leaped into the river. Fireman John
Jones (Colorcd), who was standing in the
cngine-room, saw the act and calling the
captain, rushed back with fire hook. lie
caught the woman aud held her until
assistance arrived, when she was pulled
out OF the icy water aud taken into the en-.
gine-room.
Capt Mainuault talked to her for few
minutes, and learned that she lived on
Second street, between Jackson and Over

Captain started with her 10 the place
named and on the way tried TO learn the
cause OF her rash act. Her only answer
was that she wanted to die. When the
house was reached, Capt Maingault opened

bell, woman appeared at the door Cap
tain Maiugault asked her II she knew the
