About ten ears ago I was promoted from a freight to a passenger, and was as proud of my new machine as a boy with his lirst pair I copper-toed boots. I tell you old I'M as a daisy. Well, 1 had been running her for some eighteen months when I had experience that made me throw up my oh. The bare remembrance of that night nearly makes , my hair stand on end. It was a cold, dreary iiieht in No vember, with the wind blowing a regular gale and the fog so thick that I couldn't more than thirty Irrt ahead ot the pilots to save my life. I bad left St. linns with an unusually big load ol pas- m;ers, including u distinguished parly of gentlemen on their way to Washington. iclieve my tram was the fastest one running Hast at that time. My time- ird card called for at least forty miles au our. ell, sir, just Uelole I started something happened that would make many an engineer abandon his trip, hut 1 didn't want Ui seem cowardly, and went ahead. What was it ? Why, after I got my orders from the train dispatcher's of- ee, and was on my way to my machine, Somebody inside callitl ine back. My fireman was near me ami said : 'I' or dod ike, .Inn. dou t go. oil know Soims- thing awful will haiM ii it always does when a man goes back alter getting his orders.' Well, I hesitated a moment, and then I thought to myself: 'That's all nonsense I'm not superstitious.'1 The fellow only wanted to give me some trivial message, and half au hour later 1 w r.s rocking on my :fcat in the cab, dashing through Illinois at a terrific rate and keep ing Ul V eves fixed on the two bright lines of rail in front of me, until lliev seeiued- like flashes of lightning darling into my brain. As 1 said before, I could see only a short distance ahead on account of the og, but I kuew any obscuration of those night lines, any deviation from their straight course mean; terrible ilunu'cr, ll not death to my precious load of human lives. So 1 sat there with my baud on the throttle, and every nerve and muscle strained to its utmost tension. f foruot to say that we were nearly au hour late leaving St. Louis, and 1 had or- ers to make up this lost time. Finally we struck a piece oi road which l knew tended iu a straight line for over ten miles. I fell relieved when we struck this part of the load and turning to the tire- un I shouted: "(mod track ahead, loin -I in going to let her uitt.' lie nodded hack at me ami I pulled open the valve. I could feel the engine tremble with a new motion as she leaped forward like a hounded deer, and in another second it seemed as if we were not even touching rails. About half way down this stretch of straight ro.ul there was a station uid a piece of side track for switched-ofT freight cars, there was always from three to a do. en iucs standing there. As we applidclieil this poinl I thought of the sidiii'.' and could not help saving to m What il that switch should h; mis placed!" The words were hardly formu lated in mv miml when suddenly the two bright lines iii front of me diverged, and for a nioiueiit looked like four. (Ileal tiod.' 1 cried, 'the switch is open.' There Was a sudden swerve of the engine to the left, and a loud cracking noise, and, iu desparation, 1 reversed the ever, shut the throttle and waited Willi closed eves iilul suspemi- brealh the shock which I felt was coining. You can not conceive the supreme agony of that awful moment. 1 1 was too much lor me or any other man to stand. I he hi.il thing t i.-nii nilit retl w as seeing 1 he sparks fly back from the driving-wheels as the locomotivv thundered on to distinction.

I'heie w.un't a freight car on the siding. ami the reason the swileii nail I'.'en eiian- was because a section gang was repair- uio the main I ink and had arranged it so thai the siding could be u-eil until they finished (he job. The result was liml- we dashed along the sii'.'-tra'-k and were soon on the main line again, and when I came to the lii't'iiiun was banging on to ihe thiol tie. which he had pulled out to the last notch again, and there he sat laiighuig at me. Well, I tell you il was no laughing matter for me. My hair didn't turn gray, but it was the worst scare 1 ever had in mv life, and I wouldn't go ihl'oiigh it again lit a foilune. You can just bet that when I finished that run I handed in my resignation, mid I've never steered an engine since." .SV. I.miis (SbJir Ihnm- Villi. AN AW I'l S( (Mill., "Why. la.

Curiosity often gets a mouse into a trap, just so it dors other folks. Nature never makes any blunders; when she makes a fool, she means it. A crowing hen, and a cackling rooster, are very misfortiiiiate poultry in a family. Mankind love mysteries, a hple iu the ground excites more wonder than a stamp iu heaven. To bring up a child iu the way he should go, travel that way yourself nin e iu a while. Laziness is a good deal like money. the ino'e a man has of it the more he seems to want. I don't know of any thing more remorse less, on the face of the earth, than 7 pit cent interest. There is nothing like a sick bed for re pentance, a man becomes so virtuous lie will often repent of sins that he never com mitted. There are some folks in this World who sp'iul their whole time hunting after righteousness, and can't find any time to practice it. One of the hardest things, for any man to do, is to fall down on the ice when it is wet, and then get up and praise the Lord. Whenever a minister has preached a sermon that pleases the whole congrega tion, he probably has preached ouo the Lord won't endorse. It is hard work at lirst sight, to see the wisdom in a rattlesnake bite, but there are thousands of folks who never think of their sins until they are bit by a rattlesnake.

It is generally ad mitted that they cannot, save as exhibits in floored di ns or cages raised above the earth's surface, How far this it due to the humidity of ihe climate is a moot point. The following narrative bears upon tho subject, and is founded on actual fact. At llobarttown, lasmania, (he lintish settlers in Gov. Gibbs's time wrro sadly pestered with snakes, w ineof them foiinidable light ers, and whose bile was iu most instance fatal. Mrs. I libbs vciiiidiis. an Irishwo man, nuxions to have one purlieu of her premises free from the dreaded pests, ac tually ordered to be brought from her na tive land in a convict ship no less than three hundred barrels oi' Irish earth from u locality near Spike Island, Cork Harbor, famous for its growth of shamrocks. She ordered a detached building and plot in tho (iiivernnu'iit House grounds to be effec tually cleared uf snakes, and h:nt a trench dug nround it. (i inches deep and 14 wide, which was laid in with concrete and topped evenly to a depth of 5 inches with the imported anil.
