St. Louis bridge were never stationary,
but constantly crept to the east; that is
in the direction of the heaviest travel;

26O feet in the year, or would be If the
rails were permitted to creep as they

An Old Lady'S First Ride on Il Railroad
Train.
From the New York Tribune
never been on the cars before
SAID the little Old lady, settling herself In
the seat ana arranging her skirts. ''My
son got married fifteen years ago, and
went to live to Bridgeport. He kept u
urgln' me to cCr: ~ Bridgeport, but |
says to him, L amt never been on the
cars, and | don't think | would like it.
Now, mother, says he, you won't
have no trouble at all You Jest git on
the cars, and you have nice cushioned
seats, and you see lots of strangers
Mother, says. he, you would like it, |
know
Well, john I say, it don't seem
right to me, an old woman, to go gad-
din about in new~fangled cars
But every time he come to our house
he kept a urgin' me.
So john | says, Il might 90 if could
do some knittin' on the cars. But l
amt Wlllln' to set idle with any hands
crossed and do nothin''
"'Why, mother says he, 4 amt
never seen any women do much SEWN
on the cars, but, bless you, lots of 'em
kmts. You kin jest sit there and knit
till YOU git to Bridgeport
"'John," says /, I'm 90 to please
you, but l don't think it's right
CHOW, mother says he, 1'll come
up and git YOU, or you kin have Henry
come down.
"'No,' says l, Henry must stay to
| home and look after the farm, and l
guess kin git to Bridgeport if the cars
will take me there
""Ihey will take you right there, and
| | will , oh,
"'How will [ know, says I, when we
are to Bridgeport
Why, mother, says he, the brake
man will put his head i'll the door and
say what station it is.
so here | am, on the cars for the
first time. 1t amt much use for me to
be Wastin' my time, and | guess I'll do
some knittin'"
The little woman put on her glasses,
and, feeling around her clothing with
trembling hand, drew forth her knit
ting.
'|Do you know" she said, turning
around her work and looking at it close
ly, 'the cars run quite smooth. | don't
seem to mind 'em at all, but it dom t
seem right for an old woman like me to
! be gOln' about on cars.
She picked up two or three stitches
and was on the point of starting her
slender needles on their way when the
brakeman opened the door and cried,
/ bridgeport Bridgeport -
"What did he say" asked the lite
woman, with surprised look IN her
eyes.

Friend, though thy soul should burn thee, yet
be still,
Thoughts were not meant for strife, nor
tongues for swords.
He that sees clear is gentlest of his words,
And that's not truth that hath the heart to kill
The whole worlds thought shall not one truth
fulfill.
Dull in our age, and passionate in youth;
No mind of man hath found the perfect truth;
Nor shalt thou lind it; therefore, friend. be still.
Watch and be still, nor hearken to the fool,
The babbler of consistency and rule;
Wisest is he who, never quite secure,
Changes his thoughts for better day by day;
Tomorrow some new light will shine, be sure.
And thou shalt see thy thought another way.
