A Narrow Icscape

Duncan Il, IT, Eagle; When the NJ.
X. & I. passenger train was about
two miles this side of ST. 10, yesterday
morning Engineer Murphy discovered
little child lying asleep on the track,
close up to the rail The train was
running at good speed and it was i'm
possible to stop before reaching the
child. The engineer threw on the
brake and closed his eyes. The entire
train passed over the sleeping child
which awoke just as the last car went
over, and its screams brought its par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Dave Cunningham,
from nearby field. The passengers
alighted from the train and rushed
back expecting to find a mangled body
and they, too, were overjoyed and
nearly hugged the child to death.

Edith Dickson In August LippincOtts.
The models Of youthful piety whose
lives are recorded in J%nnathan's book
would be initiated with no small dift-
Guilty by normal children. Much weep
ing appears to have been considered
an indispensable accompaniment to
juvenile picty. OF n child ''emi.
ncntly converted between eight and
nine years Old" we arc told that after
hearing a sermon upon the text, ''Ile
that, being often rcproyed. hardeuth

ed. and without remedy" she became
''su exceedingly sDllcitOus about her
soul, that she spent a great part OF
her days in weeping and praying, and
could scarce take any rest day or night
for sometime together After this
she was often full Of tears and
spent her whole time either in
praying, reading, or %instructing at her
needle" She spoke little, but when
she did. we are told. sit was usually
spiritual" This child was removed
from a world which had indeed been
tn her Il vale Of tears when she was II
years old.
Another example is that Of a babe
admirably affected with the things
Of God when lie was between Two and
three years old" BEFORE he could
speak plain, lie also would be CRYING
after God" AT the same early aye,
"he could not endure to be put To bed
without family duty" He would kneel
down and with great patience and
delight continue until duty WIS at an
end, without any expression of being
weary There is an aptncss in the
frequent use OF the word duty for
prayer, since the merit nf that exer-
else seems TO have been regarded as
proportiUned tn the length. In this
respect there does not appear to have
been such a wide difference, after all,
between these shining examples OF
youthful piety and the heather who
believe they shall BE- heard for their
much speaking.
This same child was in the habit Of
groaning and weeping So during
duty" that he vas sometimes heard
by the neighbors. He was fond OF
%discoursing about the nature and Off
ces OF Christ and the mysteries OF re-
demption. His infant mind found
difficulty in comprehending the resur-
rcction Of the body, but he admitted
that nothing vas impossible with God.
Immediately after this triumph Of
faith he was taken i'll and died when
he was five or six years old.
A little girl when she was about four
years old used to spend much time Tin
tears upon her knees" She was great
ly troubled over the sins OF other chi.
drcn, and was always ready to counsel
them. When she saw some laughing
whom she judged to be wicked, "shc
told them she feared they had little
reason to be merry" When they not
unnatnrally asked IL they might not
laugh, she answered, "No, indeed, tin
you have grace. They who are wicked
bave more need to cry than to laugh"
