ATender Hkaktkd Engineer - lo comotive engineers are a peculiar class of people. Some of them are very supersti tious, and feel almost as bad about run ning over a roan and killing him by ac cident as though they bad run over bim purposely. Others look Upon it only as one of the incident of the profession. n.v 'ina iuuii a re Killed, said Jack 8tnlih, gl.swufly, after tbe cor oner hssd "sat" on ihe victim. Jack was engineer on the" Cleveland-Toledo Rail road, and one of the best tbnt ran into Cleveland some two rear'. Hundreds of people made it their habit to walk on the track for a mile or two out ; and as there were several tracks with train passing and repassing con stantly, careless ar oVrdrpWople (and deaf people always seem to prder a railroad to walk on, ) in stepping off the track lo get out of the way, frequently get rigltt in the way of on spprnaehrrig nnobsei v in another direc?ini. In such cases, how ever careful an engineer may be, he can not prevent a collision. "Yes, said Jack, after brooding over it in a very melancholy way, '"hat's the eighth man I've killed just in that way walking on the track, ud then stopping right in front of my locomotive 'thou't once seeing me.

Tom was in dread of immediate detection, while Dick dreaded smothering. Ha wal so frlghtfnlly cramped tbat ba was getting reckless as to consequences, and in a mulled voice that only the old la dy's deafness prevented her from noticing, mumbled to Tom, "Kick the lounge over,' blow tbe lamp out. and let's jump t h rough the window As Dick was squirming in a way that boded a sudden expose for Tom. it is probable that the latter would have taken his advice to the letter, but tor the interposition of the quick-witted girls. At first, expecting tbe cut was out ot the bag, they had kept back, ready fb lake tbe storm of reproach they could not a vaid ; but bearing no noise after tire aid lady t nu ml, tbey went to see uliat bad become of the two gallants. Two pair of boots and a font or so of pantaloons were visible from tbe door, and the rirle. making some common-place reoiarka ta tneir mother, went away laughing loudly. "Pliancy the Phelinks" of the chaps be hind the lounge. But in a lew seconds there came a shout from the wood abed where tbe girls then were, saying their lamp had blown out, and asking mother to come with her's. The boys heard them plainly, and even smnthf riug, Dick stop ped his muttering and threatening. Tko good old lady arose, wiped her specs and folded them away, and bidding the girls not to be frightened, went off with the lamp to their aid. It would be superflu ous to say that the lonngiug1 boys didn't lounge just there any anger. Tbey on locked the front door as quietly as they could, and Slid out without oven bidding the young ladies good night. It waa well for them tbat tbey did, for in leee than three minutes the old lady was seated on the lounge again perusing ber book. MARRYING 1 OR LOVE. Number ten married because she loved her husband with all ber heart and all her snul. And she loves bim still, and will probably continue to love him, and ia the happiest wife in the world so she says. c have all the right motive at last one which, when sanctified by a desire and resolution lo improve and elevate each oilier, and to live titte and holy lives before God, cannot fail to call down tke blessing of Heaveu. Bui sad is tbe fate of those1 who marry from wrong motives to escape their share of life's work, or to get something for which they have no thing to give in return. A colored mail carrier in Virginia, hav ing -been well shaken by a man for kick ing bis dog, turned upon bim and gravely expostulated: "Leook-.t-liere massa, you'd le tter be keerful how yon shakes dis chile I cos, when you snakes me, you shakes de whole ob dc United States.
