Cave in on Western Road. At the Cowee tunnel, fifty miles above Asheville, on the Murphy branch of the Southern, there is a serious caye-m which, may be, it will take several months to repair. Prominent railroad officials are on the scene, consulting, as to. the wisest plan for repairing the damage . This tunnel is 750 feet long and the damaged' part is in the center of it, on top of a little mountain, where a considerable dent in the mountain" can be seen. As the debris is removed, other things fall in, so the cavity is constantly increasing- and the best of engineer ing skill will be required to repair the damage, regardless of. the time it may take. . Several trains have been tem porarily discontinued on account of the damage, and there is much complaint amde on account of the increased summer travel. Trans fers are made now at the scene of the cave in. '' - tg ... A Gentleman. Let no boy think the clothes he Wears, the horse he rides, the stick he carries, the 3og that trots after him, the Tfouse he' lives in or the money He -spends can make him a gentleman. Not one nor all of these can do it ; and yet, every boy may be a gentleman. He may wear an old hat, cheap clothes, live in a poor house and spend but little monejv, but "By being true, manly and honorable, by keeping himself neat and respectable, by being civil and courteous, and above all, by fearing God ,and keeping His Commandments, he can be a gentleman. When one stands at a point at which he may refuse or choose to give another help or kindness he is in reality also where he may choose for himself a lifelong sting of pain and remorse, or a bright, happy, inspiring memory.
