Glerwood, Wis, Dec. 23.-While the
logging train of the Glenwood s.
Northwestern Railway company was
making a forty mile an hour run for
the camp at Nine Hill, about five miles
distant from this city, the locomotive,
in the cab Of which half dozen ladies
and as many men were riding, jumped
the track OH a sharp curve and plunged
heaGlong down the embankment, and
several cars loaded with stave bolts
followed after, breaking to pieces
over the tender of the engine and scat
tering bolts in all directions. No seri
GUS injuries were suffered by any of
the passengers, though escapes seem
to have been miraculous, and a num-
Der of passengers were dug out from
under the bolts and debris badly
frightened but uninjured. The acct
dent was caused by a fange breaking
on one of the locomotive wheels.

creases above the eyes continued al
ways of the same elevation. except
that they had grown inwards, tending

IN the morning she took her pan
of suds and the polishing cloth and
stood in chair to wash the windows.
She would begin in the kitchen, she
thought, and go clear around to the
parlor. She tried to pull out the old
fashioned spring Of the upper sash,
but it would not yield.
"Olive," said her mother, Joseph
had better help to wash the windows.
He can stand on the ladder on the
outside" Joseph" she called at the
door, come in and pull the spring for
Olive" And, Joseph, polish the glass
on the outside, it is too hard for Olive"
Joseph was obedient. He had been
'the hired man" for five years. No
one would have known he was the
hired man except the two women. He
might have been the old lady's son and
Olives brother, so kind and true had
he always been to these two.
Olive stood on a chair on the In
f! side and Joseph on the ladder outside.
| The features of each were dim through
the glass; and the two scrubbed away
with soap and polish What was left
of smoke and frost yielded to double
persuasion, and Joseph called from
the outside: "Is it clear, Oliver
"Ol1ve, scrutinizing closely, called
back, pointing to the upper corner.
Gust little more rubbing right

She did not notice that Joseph was
looking into her eyes, and thinking
to himself chow clear" they were.
He rubbed away at the f1lmy place,
and then called again: 1T isn't quite
clear down in that corner"
| Olive polished away on her side
catching Joseph's eye full of light
that shot right through the obscurity
and made her remember the text Of the
New Year sermon-"Now we see
through a glass darkly."
Around the house went the two,
Olive on the inside and Joseph on the
outside, and only the last perlor win
dow was left. The morning had sped
away like a CLINT of sunshine from
the pan of water in the chair. Olive
had watched this broken bit of rad
lance, as it played on the ceiling above
1
the table with the album and pictorial
Bible on it. It was like halo above
the precious spot. She moved her
chair up to the window with little
sigh. Joseph moved his ladder up to
the same window on the opposite side
"Let it down from the top, Olive"
he said.
IT can't" Olive called back, cit

| Joseph was on her side in q moment.
His fingers just touched hers as they
pulled on the spring together, and
something which was not unlike CLINT
of sunshine passed through the two.
The spring slipped back and Joseph
was on the outside again. Joseph low
cred the window to bring it within
easy reach of the woman on the other
side. Strange he hadn't thought of
that before. Standing straight up,

ladder, the two looked into each others

TAKE IT; 1T IS GOOD.

TAKE 1T; 1T IS GOOD.
"The mists of our present condition
cloud our view; stormy days have sent
dust and sleet against our windows
until, for the dimness of our glass,
we cannot see the sky"
Olive Thompson's eyes filled with
tears. She remembered the "dust and
sleet" of weary years. How the storm
had breathed upon the windows of her
soul, turning into frosted tablets what
otherwise might have been avenues for
sunlight.
"Take heart" the preacher went on,
"spring days are coming when the
windows will be open to the sky, and
we shall see face to face what has al
WAYS been, but which we could not
see for looking through a glass dark
ly."
A few months later Olive Thompson
stood making apple pies in the pan
try. The pantry window was up and
the song Of birds came in. Also there
came in the voice of Joseph, the hired
man. who was coaxing the new calf to
drink. "Take it," he was saying to
the inexperienced animal; ut is good"
take it; it is good" Olive repeated
to herself in the pantry.
"What is good?" asked the old
wrinkled mother knitting in the warm
kitchen.
"Why, everything, I suppose" Olive
answered, still listening with one ear
to what Joseph was saying.
ut doesn't seem good now, bossy;
but it is good. take it."
"Olive," said her mother, ut is time
to wash the windows. The frost Is

Christmas Eve.


BY Mary N. Prescott.
Christmas eve the wide world over,
And Christmas chimes are sounding;
Christmas trees their buds discover,
With Christmas gifts Astounding.
The moonbeams on the snow-drifts
shed
Strike out sudden splendor;
And all the heavenly fields are spread
With starlight bright, yet tender.
The window-panes are white with
frost,
In tracery of flowers,
Bringing again the summers lost
To bloom through Christmas hours
o, happy night, whose blessed days
Across the ages shine,
Lighting the darkness of our days
With promises divine!
