wonderful Railroad.

When the railroad between Moscow
and st. Petersburg was opened it in
spired great terror in the breasts of the
superstitious peasantry, who thought
there must be some witchcraft in an in
vention which could make train Of
heavy cars run along without horses at
the rate Of twenty miles an hour. Some
of them would not goin sight Of train.
Others took timid peeps at the smoke
breathing creature, which they believed
to be alive and ready to devohr what
ever came in its way. When the whis-
tie sounded they said, THE monster is
hungry; he's screaming for somebody to
eatr'
By degrees, however, their terror
wore away, and following the example
of tho village priests the peasants began
to try the smoke wagons" though with
fear and trembling. The superstition
had gone, but the mystery still remained.
One day an old man who had never
been away from his own village deter
mined to take look at Mother Mos
cow" which is regarded by all the Rus
sian peasantry as the most wonderful
city in the world.
The down express and the up express
met at Bologoe-half way between St.
Petersburg and Moscow-and the pas
sengers of both trains were allowed half
an hour for supper. Among the people
who alighted from the other train the
old peasant recognized friend whom
he had not seen for long time.
They had delightful chat together
over their tea in the restaurant, and
then without any thought of what he
was doing the old peasant boarded his
friends train instead of his own.
The talk was very merry for some
time. but at last the old man became
grave and silent. and appeared to be
puzzling deeply over something. Atlast
he broke out:
"Ah, Ivan, what a wonderful thing
are these railroads. Here we sit in the
same car, going to Moscow and you to

AUTUMN IN LIE COUNTRY.


When tho leaves of autumn die,
And the song birds southwark fly;
When the frost
Touches all with finger cold
Touches and il turns to gold;
When is lost
All the summer that we love,
And the sky grows gray above;
When the breeze from over hill
Brings an underlined chill.
Like a fear;
When tho grass grows whithered, brown,
And the autumn storm clouds frown;
When the year
Passes from its middle prime
To the weaker after time;
When the goldenrod succeeds
To the lily's throne, and weeds
Gin to grow
Where the flowers were before;
When the orchards ripened store
With its show
OF red and gold, falls to earth
Mother World that gave II birth
Then, though laughing harvests bring
Time to dance and time to sing
And delight,
Still a sorrow seems 10 fall
Over field and hill and hall,
Like blight,
For the boarders went away
In the night and didn't pay.
