I nrRRD fcom the doorj as L turned my steps homeward j again, j Instinctively I took the usual course in returnic to the -i!lige, (for Lucy lived nearly a mile out of town) sobu-iy with mjr thoughts as to "be utterly unconcious of anything and ev erything else. There wa$ a lnVh briJ that lay between me and ihe villsige, just wide enough for the track, the middle of Ahich was plarked .over jfor thelconven-. ience of pedestrians! Outside the track it was impossible to walk. J. , One of the pbnkt, which was very thick and heavy, had been partly raised for some perpose, and left in that position. In endeavoring to pa8(..it, I struck .my foot ag iinst it, stumbled, au'd in recovering my, self, forced one leg through the aperture, (ind striking mv other foot with all the fyrersQmidjorejcuin raj equilibrium,-J v - . . 1 , not only let mr fxt. protruding through J a i the narrow crack, but proiiia-ed to preseut .1 !

I smiled to think how curiouslv I had been entrapped, and stooped down to re move the pUnk and free i myself fiom so dangerocs a position. The task was not so easily performed as I had imagjned. The plank wasfvedged iu, in such a man ner that no effort of .mine could remove it.. I strove with more than mortal pow er, but it was In vain ;nor could I extricate my foot which was lacerated and smart; ing with ment. . the pain In its close coilfiue- At first-I did not consider the extent of my peril, but I soon bean to perceive the danger of mv situation ; and I .shud lered with horror to tliiuk that 1 should be o blied to remain there and be crushed to death by tho cars ! It was a cold day in December, and yet the beaded drop burst from every pore. A moment of phrenzied delirium succeeded, and when I rallied a gain.1 fouud myself sitting between the rails, mv foot still a prisoner, and no pros pect of delivery. : p w I looked at my watch ; It . was hair past three. .At five the down freight would pass, or if that should be late, the express would go np at half-past five ; aud At half-past four it would be dark"7 . It was possible, nay probable that some one wtruld passa by "before it should be too late. This way was iearer to the jvillage than the road, though always regarded as more dangerous on account of the narrow nets of the b-idge,from which there would be .no possibility of escape iri case a train should come in sight while passing over it. Already one had been killed by endeavor ing to cross at a-time when the train was due ; and should! be the second to perish there ! How tne thought tortured me 5-7-and otice again I tiigged at the resisting plank. With all my strength I tried to withdraw my foot and leave the boot ; but impossible ! ! ' ;: It was four, o'clock in half an hour it would be dark another half hour and death would be certain ! I j shouted for aid, but no habitation was within jhalf a mile, and no answer was returned to my dies. Again and again I shrieked while despairing achoes reverberated through the cTstant wood, as though they would mock me in my misery: And then with all the 'accumulated strength of madness I wrenched the plankt but could not move it from its place. It could not J be possible that I should be obliged to sit there and be srushed to death, when human aid was iti ., :1 ! j e uo Dear, liaa 1 oeen in sumo iaoiti st, some depth of country, distant from tow u or cottajrej mv i doom miht have been more certain. Once again I shrieked with agonizing fury ;i wildU, desperatly the 80und-of 'nlT voice rung out on the chillinw air ; white nothing but the moc ing echoes made reply. I . The sun had set ; and the darkness was gathering fast over the valley talow. Ah ready the last reddening glow of sunshfrie was ffleamiPff on tne tops or tne iorest trees. My irrerpcable destiny beenme e7s ery moment more and more apparent. j- Ilark ! My God 3 b ran I - stretched forward and listened with breath less eaei ness. iThere' was not a sound to break the silence ; jl must have' been deceived. But list ! 'A voice! a voice ! Thank God!

I cried, and each time I shouted the. ords, I seelhed, in despair, nerved i up to greater power of speech, and called loiidef and louder each time; DiJ j Le ,Iie 1,ear rae 1 Tljere w"s no 1 answer-r-all pvas sill ! , Oh, mercuul heaven, was this last chauce for life deuied ...

Hour after hour had I eat there all day,and now I; was Btill hoping and vibrating between the hope of Jel very and the almost certain conviction of destruction. The fearful chill of despair was 'creeping over me ; my trembling limbs alreaiy announced that my nerves were sinking in exhaustion.' At every moment I kept a watch for his returning footsteps, but no welcome sound fell on my ear. . 7 ' Hark ! it is the train ! The low, distant thunder cannot deceive me now. It will Jiere in a few minutes. 7 Help! help i" ' 7 ' j f The wailing cry faded away, and theae was no answer. Louder and louder came the thunder : nearer and nearer came the train. ' The nsing' moon disclosed to me i . the white Column of smoke and steam, ri siDg above the hill beyond the curve; and now the regular beating puff and cough of the engine struck my ear,, like the gloat ing chuckle of sonje terrible monster regar ding his victim, flow like a phrenzy the thought camo on me that it was now too Ifltfl for asaistance ?V'vNo human be nar would venture on the bridge when the tiain was in hearing distance when it" was top dark to distinguish objects in time to stop the impetuous fire horse ; and yet, fu rious and frantic at the thought of such a death. I stretched iny trembling limbs to their utmost, and shrieked again v and a gain till I grew hoarse, and the thundering train drowned feeble efforts of my vice.
