HE GAVE HIS LIFE.
The Noble Self-Sacrifice OF a Railway
Engineer.
Ito BE Continued

The Noble Self-Sacrifice OF a Railway
Engineer.
The author of Tales of an Engineer"
pays tribute TO the memory of a man
of his own craft who stuck to his en-
CINE. knowing that his death alone
could lessen the danger of those in his
charge.
The train had crossed a bridge and
was approaching a tunnel, which. being
upon the shadow side of the hill. looked
like Il great hole in the night. Nearer
the engine the engineer saw 4 number
Of dark objects scattered about. In an
other second he discerned what these
were, and realized an awful danger.
AS he reversed the engine and applied
the air brakes he shouted to the fiji eman
to jump. He might have jumped him
self. for he saw the danger first; but no
such thought came to him. In another
second the pilot was blowing through
herd of cattle asleep on the track.
If they had been standing he would
have opened the throttle and sent them
flying into the river. with less risk to
his train.
But they were lying down: and as
they rolled under the wheels they lifted
the great engine from the rails and
threw her down the dump at the very
edge of the river.
But so we'll had the faithful engineer
performed his work that the train was
stopped without wrecking car. Many
of the passengers were not awakened.
The trainmen came forward and
found the engineer. He was able to
speak to them. He knew that he had
but few minutes to live, and left
loving message for his wife. Then. as
if he had nothing more to say or do. he
closed his eyes, folded his hands over his
brave heart, and. without murmur.
apparently without pain. died.

THE LITTLE ARMCHAIR.

Nobody sits in the little armchair;
1t stands in a corner dim:
But white-haired mother. gazing there.
And yearningly thinking of him,
sees through the dust Of long ago
The bloom of the boys sweet face.
As he rocks so merrily to and fro.
With laugh that cheers the place.
Sometimes he holds a book in his hand,
sometimes pencil and slate:
And the lesson is hard to understand.
The figures to calculate:
But she sees the nod of the fathers head.
So proud Of his little son.
And she hears the words so often said:
mo fear for our little one
They were wonderful days. the dear sweet
days,
When child with sunny hair
Was here to scold. to kiss. and to praise
At her knee in the little chair
She lost him back in her busy years,
When the great world caught the
man.
And he STROBE away past hopes and fears
To his place in the battles van.
But now and then in q wistful dream.
Like picture out of date.
She sees head with a golden CLEAN
Bent over a pencil and slate:
And she lives again the happy day.
The day of her young life's spring,
When the small a armchair stood justs in the
way.
The center of everything.

Storage Of Hay In the City.

In the last two years there has been
a decrease in the number Of sta bic fires
in New York city, and an even larger
proportionate decrease in the pecuni-
airy losses resulting therefrom. This is
due in part at least to the law which
regulates the storage of hay. feed and
straw. BY this law steps must be taken
to make the building more or less fire
proof. No loose or INHALED hay or
straw may be stored in any tenement
house. Of baked hay. quantity not ex-
ceeding Is bales. and of baled straw.
not exceeding Is bales. may be stored.
but no more. No feed, bay or straw
may be kept under any stairs in any
tenement house. and all lights used
must be protected by wire cloth globes
or cylinders or lanterns. No smoking
is to be allowed. All stoves must be
protected by sheet or zinc or iron un-
derneath and by a portable sheet
iron jacket surrounding and incIosina
at least three-quarters of the stove.
There were 4.649 stables in the city of
New York at the date Of the last re.
port aud 3.746 horses.-N. Y. Sun.

And neither that night nor the next

an opportunity for private speech with

A BATTLE ROYAL.

Allaccochee the wonderful was never
more alive to the fact Of its own i'm
portance and prosperity than on a GER
tain day in September which had been
set apart and marked with red letter
tory OF the city. 1t was to be blow
ing-in' day at the Chiwassee furnace;
and the throbbing pulse of the great
blast-engines would thereupon open
new arteries of industry, flowing with
currents of molten iron to strengthen
and invigorate the thews and sinews OF
the many-handed giant of labor.
There was to be an. industrial parade
and a monster meeting in the afternoon
at the furnace, where platform had
been built for the orators, and where
the train load of capitalists and eX-
cursioniStS to arrive at noon would be
welcomed as the guests of the city.
At an early hour in the morning the
streets were thronged with visitors
moving in unique crowds under the
gayly decorated awnings, or stopping
in adniring groups to stare at the
elaborate display of bunting and flags
ornamenting the company's offices in
the Guaranty building. In the anat-
omy of Allacoochee, the Guaranty
building was the brain; and in one of
its comfortably furnished cells, iso-
lated by thick walls and deadened floors
from the out-of-door turmoil CT this
morning of expectation. the twinSouls
of the urban monster sat facing each
other in morose silence. Four days
had elapsed since the terrified notary
had burst in upon them with the infor-
nation that the forged deed had been
found. and for three days an evil-doer's
providence had given them an oppor-
tunity for which they would have been
willing to pay in the coin of crime; and
yet. in spite of the warning and of the
removal of their chief opponent, they
were still as far as ever from a haven
of safety; the forged deed was still in
existence. and bribery and search-par-
ties had alike failed to reveal the hid
ing-place of the old mountaineer. The
threatened danger cast its shadow upon
the two men each after his kind.
Sharpless sat erect. scewling and in
domitable, while Fench covered in his
chair, clasping and unclasping his lean
fingers in the nervelessness of dismay.
II tell you, Sharpless. it's no use talk
ing-it never was any use talking; it's
time to run. We might have been il,
Mexico by this time if you'd had any
sense"
Fench's voice was querulous with
fear, and the last sentence ended in a
snarl. but the recrimination served
only to deepen the frown on the brow
of the lawyer. In the silence that sue
ceeded. they heard a curious humping
in the corridor, which was explained
when the door opened to admit an I'M
announced visitor. 1t was Thorndyke.
on crutches. and he stopped to close the
door carefully before limping to achair
from which he could see both of the
sonspirators. In the twinkling of an
eye the scowl on Sharpless' face melted
into a suave smile of welcome. and his
greeting was cheerful and genial.
GOOD morning. Mr.. Thorndyke.
You're quite a stranger"
Philip ignored the proffered cirility
and went brusouely to the point. II

A Great Hotel Clerk.

A good American hotel clerk is ex-
pected to know everything. He must
be able to read the inermost thoughts
of every guest that comes to his house.
He must be ready to answer every
question that is asked, whether con-
corning trains, pedestrianism, poll
tics, law, science, geography, astrono-
my, or theology. Houston, Tex, is
said to have one of the brightest
hotel clerks in the world. He is al
ways affable, ready with every kind
of information, and never has to be
asked twice for anything. Two
'drummers" were sitting in the lobby
of this hotel a few weeks ago, and one
of them was telling the other about
the clerks readiness. tsI'l bet you the
drinks" said he, ''that if you open
that newspaper you have inyour hand,
select the first phrase that meets
your eye, and then walk over to the
clerk and say it over to him, he will
respond in some way without a mo-
ment's hesitation" The drummer"
opened the paper, by chance at po-
Htical article, and the first words he
saw were: '"The greatest good to the
greatest number" He walked over to
the clerks desk, leaned his elbow up
on it, and said seriously: ''The great
est good to the greatest number"
The clerk smiled pleasantly ard
touched bell, and said to the bell
boy: ''Take bottle of whisky up to
room 200."-Implement Age.

A Sermon with a Point to 1t.

A clergyman in the west country
had two curates, one a comparative
ly old man, the other very young.
With the former he had not been able
to work agreeably; and on being in
vited to another living, he accepted
it, and took the young curate with
him. Naturally there was a farewell
sermon; and we can imagine the feel
ings of the curate who was to be left
behind when he heard the text given
out: "Abide we here with the ass,
and and the lad will go yonder and
worship" Sterne once declared in re-
gard to the widely-respected maxim,
De mortuis nil nisi bonum, that there
was nothing right about it but its
Latin. This view was evidently
shared by certain Edinburgh minis
ter, who being asked to preach the
funeral sermon of a misery brother
cleric, chose as his text the words:
"And the beggar died."-Chamber's
