The Locomotive Engineer.

Probably most persons who have
travelled at night by rail have had
their thoughts turned to him who,
standing with hand upon the throttle
lever of the engine, watches between
them and death. Often, when the
night has been black and boisterous
with angry storms, or cold and
desolate in mid-winter, we have lain
down in our snug berth listening to
the chatter of the swiftly-moving train
with a sense OF security, because we
knew there was one standing in the
cab watching with vigilant eye
against danger. There he is gazing
out along the track, conscious that
hundreds OF lives are entrusted to his
care; that these hundreds of sleeping
passengers are resting calmly in the
conviction that he will not fail in
duty.
They are all strangers to him. At
the stations while the train waits for
passengers to take their meals
none of them think it worth while
to speak to him. They are going
somewhere. They are-who knows
even their names? The conductor,
the brakeman, and the porters are
brought more or less in contact with
them, and they learn something OF
each other; there is little mutual
fellowship, at least. But the engine
driver stands apart, His face is be-
grimed with SCOT, his clothes soiled
with grease, ard his hands hard and
unseemly. On the road, after long
night of travel, he is not all object OF
prepossessing appearance. And yet
this man, through all that night, has
had the guardianship Of hundreds Of
lives and faithfully performed his
work. Sober, cool, and vigilant, he
has brought his charge to the end Of
the journey in safety. The travellers
scatter to their homes or pass on to
other scenes, praising the railroad
company for the admirable system Of
their road and the comfortable ac-
commodations afforded, while per-
haps none give thought to the en-.
gineer, whose faithfulness guarded
them from accident and death.
There are obligations between man
and man which cannot be compen-
sated by dollars and cents. Let the
pay be just and liberal; but let there
be likewise q remembrance that he
has risked his life for us, and prayer
for the benediction OF God upon him

In order to prevent embarrassment
among women who are not so we'll
dressed as some .others, London
preacher proposes to bold his church
services in darkness. Not only
ought worship under these conditions
make such women feel free to attend,
but it ought also to attract various
young couples who have reached the
stage where illumination is wholly
unnecessary.

TO ssKEEp'' THE CIDER.
ed by Smith And There Wa
Trouble In the Cellar.

eft is a plebeian taste, I will admit, -
said Brown, but plead guilty to q
liking for cider. suppose my early
boyhood days. when l used to extract
it fresh from the press through the
medium Of straw, are responsible for
my desire. But give me a glass Of
cider just at the point when it COM
mences to sparkle with life, and I
would not trade it for all the fancy
drinks ever invented.
Fall weather reminded me of it the
other day, and I CHANGED to speak of it
in the presence of Smith, bemoaning
the fact that there were no means to
keep cider from working and becoming
hard.
"That reminded him of formula
that had been in his fathers family for
years. He said he had tried it and it
had always been success. He guar
anteed that if it were put up according
to the formula it would keep for years.
"He was so enthusiastic aboutit that
had him furnish me the formula.
Then while my wife was away sent
to my old home-place and had barrel
of cider sent me from the cider mil.
that used to play around when I was
boy. carefully followed Smiths d.
rections and bottled the whole barrel
and then regretted that didn't order
another barrel at the same time.
When had it all nicely stored away
down cellar thought of the many
pleasant times would have during the
long winter evenings
''The other night I was reading my
paper when there was an explosion
down cellar that sounded like re-
port of 13-inch gun. I seized a
lamp and started to investigate. I
was half way down the stairs when an
other explosion took place, filling the
cellar with flying glass and causing me
to beat hasty retreat.
"Since then" Brown continued, &C.
cording to the Detroit Free Press, my
bottled cider has been going off at in
tervals, with now and then louder
crash, as it sweeps off from the shelves
the canned fruit that my wife has been
putting up all summer. No one has
dared to enter the cellar since the bonn
bardment commenced, and I shudder
to think what my wife will say when
she gets home and sees the ruin that
has been wrought among that precious
canned fruit of hers"
