Just Holding the Lines.

A father and his little son were
riding along a familiar road with a
gentle horse. To crafty the child the
father placed the reins in his hands,
but at the same time, unseen, retained
his hold on them. AS they rode
on they saw approaching them at ter
rife speed runaway team. The dan
ger was great and imminent, but the
father guided his horse so that col
lision was avoided and the danger es-
capped. When all was over the little
son looked up to his father and, with
choked utterance, said: 'I thought |
was driving, but I wasn't, was | papa"
So often does a child of God, when
some peril has been escaped or some
deliverance has been youchsafed in
ways unforeseen and unthought of,
have occasion to say Father l
thought was driving, but I WASH t. j"
1t is blessed to feel that the reins are
in the hands Of One mightier than We
are.

ANDERSON S. c., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 22 1896.

from above. This was not pleasant.
/ racked my brain to devise some
means of liberating myself, but with
out effect.
Leaning against the wall in utter
desponden"- I was about to throw my
self on th. ground and await my fate,
when I observed quite a current of
water, on a small scale, was making
it's way down the side Of the cave. At
first I was alarmed, as | thought it
might loosen the earth above, and
bring another mass down on my head.
The next moment the thought struck
me that it might be turned to my ad-
vantage. Why could not so directit
that it would wash away sufficient
earth in it's progress to the outlet of
the cave to make an opening large
enough to allow me to crawl through
it? If it only succeeds in making an
air hole, it would enable me to exist
till my partners could come to my res
cue. Carefully examining the course
of the water, l succeeded in finding
the spot where it entered the cave,
and to my great joy ascertained that |
could easily direct it by cutting a
channel out of the side Of my prison
to the mass of earth that blocked up
the entrance to the tunnel: The air
at this time was cutie hot and sitting,
and 1 became aware that whatever
was done must be done quickly, or |
should perish for want of oxygen.
After I had cut a channel for the
water to flow toward the entrance, /
enlarged the opening by which the
stream entered the cave, and was de.
lighted to observe that it flowed with
redoubled force. Taking my shovel |
forced it through the moistened earth
as far as I was able and then waited
the further action of the water. 10
few minutes was enabled to push it
still further, till at last it was out of
my reach. Then placing my pick
handle against it, I pushed both as far
as I could. With what eagerness did
watch to see the first opening made
by the water, and I was soon gratifed
by observing that it flowed in a steady
stream in the direction which I had
pushed the pick and shovel.
In few minutes | discovered
faint light glimmering in the distance,
which might be an opening or the eff
feet of ar excited Imagination, |
scarcely knew which. But the doubt
soon resolved itself into a certainty,
and an opening some FIVE inches in di-
ameter speedily disclosed Itself.
Larger and larger the opening grew;
lump upon lump was washed away by
the stream until the channel became
large enough for me to place my head
in the opening and halloa Justify for
assistance. Just as [ was drawing my
head back j. caught sight of a buck
skin bag. Hastily seizing it, l found
that it was the one we were in search
of, and which, but for the accident, /
would never have found. Wishing to
surprise my companions I concealed it
and redoubled my cries. In a few
minutes they came running up the hill
and soon liberated me from my un-
pleasant position.
On opening the bag we found about
5000 worth of gold. Wecould never
ascertain anything about Mr.. Forrest,
so we divided the money among us.

"Why, when the patient happens to
die we lay him out in a room over
night by himself, throw open the sash,
lock the door, and in the morning he

"Indeed!' said the other amazed,
"what becomes Of him?'
"Why that we cannot tell exactly !;
all we know there's a strong smell of
birthstone in the room next morning.

In order to prevent his wife from

her Bible and prayer book. A few
hours afterwards, relates the Atlanta

ACl0se Shave.

The Asheville Citizen tells Of very
narrow escape passenger train had a
few days ago while coming down the
Saluda mountain. The story is as fol-
lows:
"Down on the Asheville and Spar
tanburg railroad there is, for a few
miles stretch of mountain road as
steep, as wild and as grand as any
thing the Switzerland of America
holds out to the tourist. The particu-
lar part of the line referred to is that
commonly termed the Saluda Noun
tain, where the descent from the hills
of North Carolina to tie plains of
South Carolina is so rapid as to make
the timid passenger hope for quick,
and yet not too speedy trip. The
trusty engineer, no matter how many
times this run has been made by him,
keeps closer watch upon the huge
machine under him and grasps with
6rmer hands the lever that controls
the air brakes. For in descending
this unusual grade the slightest mis-
take might bring disastrous results to
crew and passengers; once beyond con-
troll of the hand Of the engineman
there would be wild race down the
mountain, to end at the bottom of
some gorge or when the train reached
the level, if it should be so lucky as to
stick to the rails.
"It was on this short section of
road an incident occurred recently
that would have made the passengers
catch their breath had they known it.
A passenger train was descending the
mountain at the ordinary speed. Alta
point where the mountain side makes
an almost sheer descent for hundreds
of feet before the track is reached, a
huge log, being cut for the mill, be-
came dislodged and began flying,
bounding, crashing trip down the
mountain. The slow moving passen-
ger train was in its path and itseemed
certain that it would be struck. But
when near the track the log ran against
an obstruction, turned endwise and
darted under the baggage car between
the rear and forward trucks, and tear
ing off and taking with it the box un-
der the car (calleu the 'possum bel
ly" by railroad mcn) kept on its way
down the mountain.
"The train was not interfered with.
''There was no perceptible shock,
and as yet there are only few who
arc aware of the occurrence Of the in
cidcnt.' -

Why the Seat Did Not Fit.

When "Ben' Wade of Ohio was the
presiding officer of the Senate, he used
occasionally to call some senator to
take the chair, and relieve himself by
walking up and down in the lobby,
which runs back of the senate cham
Der. Once, while thus walking, he
was overtakcn by certain carpet-bag
senator from one of the Southern
States, who occupied the identical
chair that Jefferson Davis had used
while member of the Senate. Walk
ing along by the side Of Wade, he
rubbed his back YEARLY and said:
"Wade, these senate chairs are the
most uncomfortable things I ever saw.
My back is positively blistered from
sitting in mine.
Wade looked at him for a moment,
and, as he turned away, muttered:
Davis left enough brains in the
seat of that chair to blister the backs
of two or three such men as you are. !"
