Tho Engine-The Man.

I once had a curious and instructive conversation with an engineer who had charge of & large stationary engine. It was a beautiful engine and worked as true as steel could work. The man surprised me by telling me 1t had been at work ninety years, land do you know" he added, 1t has had eight masters; am the eighth who has had the care of 1t: the others are all either dead or worn out, and yet 1t goes on as if 1t were young as ever. Very strange, sir, isn't 1t, that an engine should live so much longer than a man; and it Is not hard work for us either or exposed
 work, for the room is always warm and comfortable, and the place Is, of course, clean and light" What did
 the men die from?" I asked.
 "Well, three or four, am afraid, died of drink. another had bad temper, an other of worry, and so on, but the en- zine went on all the same" The fate
 of the engine, it's long life and contin-
 ued industry. puzzled the man. He
 often in his lonely hours thought of 1t, and wondered how many men would follow him before the engine began to break down. It did not puzzle me. That engine worked a great many
 hours 8 day truly; but 1t was equable in its work; 1t never ran loose; it was true in its vocation: it was bright as a new pin clean in every point; it was served with best but simplest fuel food; it had It's furnace tubes clear; it was saved from friction by having Its parts properly oiled; and, it drank nothing
