down 'on ikeeowcalcher in a Hash. The
little fellotv stood still. I motioned him oft'
and shouted, Ina little blue eyes opened wide
with astonishment, and a inetry laukh was
upon His lips. I held my breath as we
rushed upon him, made desperate attempt
to save him, but missed, and as Ins little
body passed under I heard the cry of
" Mother !" and the forward truck crushed
him to atoms.
Oh, hod ! that moment ! I may live, sir,
to be an old man, but the agony of that mo

foreboding flashed upon her at °now. She

existence to have avoided ihat - moment ! I
have seen death in all its forms upon the
railroads. I have seen men, women and
children mangled and killed—l have seen all
this, but that little innocent boy, as ho look
ed up at me—it unnerved me and from that
day I made a solemn vow never to run a lo
comotive any more.
The young mother is now in the Utica
Lunatic Asylum. From the hour the boy
was killed reason had loft its throne.
Ile stopped and wiped the tears from his
eyes, and said, " You may think it weak in

Envy
Envy is a mean passion It neither con
sults 11116011 our wads initi! the judgment is
ezereised. It uses all the appliances thrt
can be brought to bear upon its subject - -
lake the ,:ormorailt, it eats out the substance
of everything uuts.ile of itself and then turns
and prays upon its own vitality , and strange
to say, that in feeding upon itself, it grows
and strengthens and becomes Moie capable
of performing its destructive work. The
envious person can never be happy, The
thing IS InipOMMIWO. AA well expect the cor
morant to be out of pain and experier3e
pleasure With its sharp beak on its own
heart, and drawing forth the fluid by which
its hie is kostained If the silly bird that
drinks its own blood can lie at rest and Sat
isfied then may an envious man pronounce
himself contented. But while the wound is
open and bleeding, the proces.s of destruc
tion must be going on ; and the result is
inevitable. When the last drop is drawn
forth, the work rs finished. Envy destroys
itself with the destruction of it; possessor.
But the worst of all is that while envy is
doing its work of destruction ,ii the heart

all hurt or disquieted. The vile passion can
only

affray :
We learn that ti difficulty occurred in
Boonville on 'holiday last, between T. T.
Garrard the regular Democratic nominee for
Congress, and B. F. Rice, the Didepetident

Rice, and, his course in becoming a candl
dat9, and Rico in his reply, retorted bitterly,
givingydr. Garrard as good as he sent. Gar
rard replied, stating that Rico's remarks
"were as fain asil-L-1." Rico called him a
"d•cl liar," whereupon Garrard Grow a pie.
'tot and tired at Rice without touching him.
A Mr. Gibson, son-in-law ; of Mr. Garrard,
immoliately drew a pistol and fired three or
four. times, two balls taking effect upon Rice,
badly wounding him, and a third upon a
man by the name orSmith, who is thought
to he mortally wounied, the ball having pas,
sed through his neck. Rift's wounds are
very severe but aro not considered danger

paid, as he thought, too many attentions to
his wife. The husband brooded in silence j
over the supposed inconstancy of his bosom
companion. lie never intimated his cusp-
C 101 1 .4 to her, or any one else, until the tho't
of despatching his haw' rival took posses

he could accomplish this and escape detec

a plan. Ile went to a brakeman on the P.
F. IV. & U. It. It , with when was on
terms of great intimacy, and to lom com
mumeatett his sunpic,ons, had proposed to
give him one hundred and tweet-rise dollars
in money, a g old watch, and a suit of. fine
clothes, as a consideration for kAling the
Mansfield lawyer ; or, as ho expressed it, to
make "buzzard's victuals" of him The
money and watch were dellvered ; the
brakesman entered into the contract, appa
rently- nn good faith, but went the next day
and informed the lawyer of 6hl that had hap-
pened Matters rested for a few days One
evening, as the husband was approaching
the home, he beheld the lawyer hating the
house, and on entering saw hr, eife hur

surprise in discovering a largo quantity of
gold coin, which lie supposed had purchased

I have trot known until lately of the use of
that deadly poison strychnine, In the mauu•
lacture of whisky. This is described as
possessing a greter amount of destructive
energy than any other poison except Prussic
acid. The object of using it is to obtain the
greatest amount of intoxicaiing liquor out of
the least quantity of grain. IVliether this
liquor kills men, hogs or flAies, makes no
difierente with the distiller, provided lie can
accumulate a fortune by its sale.
I quote from an article recently published
in the Tribune. The use of strychnine in
the manufacture of whisky, is henceforth to
be punished as a felony let:lino. By means
of this drug, used in con&:etion with tobac•
co, sharp distillers were tusking five gallons
bf whisky ftom one bushel of grain, whereas
the quantity obtained by the formar old pro
cess was but half so much."
