'The loved and lost V Why do we call them lost?
Bccauso we miss them from our onward road ?
nod's utBoc'n angel o'er our pathway crost,
Looked on us all, nnd, loving them the most,
straightway relieved them from life's weary load.
They are not lot i they are within the door
That shuts out loss, and e cry hurtful thing
With angels bright, nnd loved ones gone before,
In their lledeemer's presence evermore.
And Ood himself their Lord nod Judge and King.
And this wo call a "loss l" o selfish sorrow
Of selfish hem tl o we of little talth I
lit us look round, an argument to borrow
hy wo Ui patlenco rhouid await the morrow
That sorely must suiceed tho night of death.
Aye, look upon this dreary desert path,
The thorns and thistles whercsoo'er we turn ;
What trials and what tears, what wrongs and
wrath,
What slrugglcs and what strife tho Journey hath I
That have escaped from these ; and lo I we mourn.
Ask the poor saPor, when the wreck Is done,
Who wllh hts trensures Btrovo the shore to reach.
While with tho raging uave he battled on,
Was It ot Joy, whero everv Joy seemed gone,
To see his loved ones landed on tho beachT
A poor wayfarer, leading by tho hand
A little child, had halted by the well
To wash from orf her feet tho clinging sand,
And tell the tired boy of that bright land
Where,! his long Journey past,thcy longed to dwell
When lo I tho Lord, u ho many mansions had,
Drew near and looked upon tho suffering twain,
Then pitying spake, "Olve Mo the little lad j
In strength renewed, and glorious beauty chid,
I'ltbitiig him with Me when I come again,"
Did sbo make answer selfishly and wrong
"Xav but tho woes I feel he too must share !"
Or rather, bursting Into grateful song,
bho went her way rejoicing, and made sttong
To struggle on, since ho was treed from care.
Wo will do likewise ; death hath made no breach,
In love nnd svmpathy, In hope and trust ;
No outward sign or sound our ear can reach,
But there's an Inward, spiritual speech
That greets us ttul, though mortal tongues be
dust. .
It bids us do the work that they laid down-
Take up tho song w here they broke off the strain ;
So Journcj tng till we reach the heavenlv town
W here are laid up our treasures nnd our crown,
And our lost loved ones will bo found again.

TEX .MIMJTi:S LATE.
"I'ny train on the Hue. Will meet you
just west of Leeds nt 10:45. Slilft on to tho
siding at Dcrlng s Cut and wnlt.
WlfATELISV."
Klrke's wntcli hung on n null beside tlio
cluck. It wns n Irtncy of Ills nhvnys to linve
It there when ho was off a train, so that
he cnuld ninkc no mistake In tho time.
He glanced nt the clock and from It to his
watch. Roth Indicated tho samo tlmo
7:15.
"7:lfi," snid Kirke, meditatlngly, "and we
Icavo nt 7:50, nnd tho pay train meti us at
Dcrlng'a Cut at 10:15. Scant tlmo to make
tho run this thick weather, but It must bo
managed,"
And he turned awny to give some orders
to the fireman.
Jack llallidny was there he had been
strolling in nrd out of the room for the past
half hour, smoking n cigar nnd swearing at
the had weather. His train did not leave
until near midnight, so ho bad plenty of
time to swear.
We all went to the door and looked at the
weather nnd voted it d( need bad, nnd then
we walked up and down Hie platform, and
smokidotli niter-supper cigars, and by the
time we were through it was time for the
train hands to he getting into their places.
Ruth the clock in the engine-room and
Kirke'a watch indicated 7:49.
Kirke was putting his watch in his pocket
as he said :
"Garth, are you going with mo on the
Klynwny ?"
No, thank ye," said I, "I get enough of
that sort of thing in my every-day life. J
am going to do a little swell business to'
night and take passago in the palace car.
Want to rest my back, flood night to ye,
and hold her in well around Rocky Rottom
curve. TJie road-bed's a little shaky."
"Aye, aye, sir!" responded Kirke, and
swung himself to his position on tho Hya.
way.
The bell rang I scrambled to my com
partment in tho Pullman, and felt horridly
out of place among thosllks and broadcloths
and smell of musk. Hut I was in, and made
the best of it so effectually that five minutes
after Gibson, who fancies he owns all crea
tion because he has got a silver coffin plate
on bis breast with "Conductor" on it, had
On and still on she went. Sellin seemed
to fly. One might have fancied that ho
knew his mistress was on an errand of llfo
and death. Tho lights of tho station wcro
in view nay, she even saw tho station mas
ter's white lantern as ho strolled up and
lown tho platform tho white lantern
which was to signal the approaching train
to tell them to go on, for all was well. On
to their doom.
She dashed across tho track, flung the
reins to an nmazed bystander, and striking
tho white lantern from tho hand of tho as
tonlslud official, she seized tho ominous red
lantern from its hook, nnd springing upon
the track, waved it In the'very teeth of tho
coming train.
Two sharp, short whistles told her that
the signal was seen, and a moment later the
train eanio to a stop and the officers rushed
out to learn what it all meant.
I'loss'tbld them in n few brief words, nnd
one ot them went forward to confer with the
trnin from Oaloshn, which had not yet been
telegraphed from tho next station beyond.
The man waited fifteen minutes before
Klrke's train till on to the siding, nnd it
was then known that but for the decision of
one young girl, the two trains must have
collided four miles beyond De'ring's Cut.
When told tho whole story, Klike looked
at his watch.
Tho man from the station looked at his.
Kirke's was ten minutes behind time.
You want to know how it happened. Cer
tainly you must have guessed. Halliday
did it. A man was found the next day who
confessed lo having seen Jack tampering
with the time pieces in the engine house
that night, but he had thought nothing of it,
he said.
Jack? Oh, ho left town, and was last
heard of in Australia. His little game was
not a success.
And Kirke married Eloss Whnteley, else
this story would not have been tol'J, because
what would a story be worth that did not
end with a wedding.

In '52 there wasn't ft. likelice fellow on
the line than Georgo Kirke.
Ho was the son of a poor man, and his
mother was dead. His father was a con
firmed invalid of the rheumatic order, and
Georgo played the dutiful son to him in a
way that would astonish the young men of
to-day.
Somehow, nobody knew exactly how,
George had managed to pick up a good edti
cation, and he hail polished it on", so to
speak,by a two years' course at a commercial
college,which they tell me is a school where
they teach people something as is practical
and not them Greek roots and Latin folder
ols that is drilled into young men's heads iu
our universities.
Kirke began on the Stony Hill railroad
when he was about twenty-one or two years
old. First he was a br.ikemau. This rail
way business is a y'iilar succession, and,
generally speaking, a man has to work his
way up. It ain't olie i that ho gits right up
to the dignity of a conductor at one step,
with the chance to pocket stray ten cent
scrips, anil the privilege of helping all tho
good looking and well dressed ladies out of
the cars, and letting the homely ones, with
babies anil band boxes on their arms, stum
ble out as best they may.
George did his duty so well that he was
soon promoted to fireman, and after he had
learned the workings of the machine, he was
made engineer and given an engine.
This enpino was one of the newest and
best on the line.and was called the Flyaway,
and George was mighty proud of her, you
may well believe.
I tell you, sir, your true engineer, one as
is out and out for the business, and feels his
responsibility, takes as much pride ii: his;
engine as tho jockey does in his
favorite raco horse, aud would set up rights
or neglect sweetheart", to keep the brassed
and filigree of his machine so's you could
seo yoiir face in 'em.
There was another man wanted George's
chance. There's generally more than ono
after every paying job.
Jack Halliday had been waiting some
time to be engineer of the Flyaway, and
when he lost it he was mad enough to pull
hair. Ho was abrakeman likewise and had
been on the road full two years longer than
Kirke, and it would seem that the chance
really belonged to him, and he was i:
quarrelsome, disagreeable fellow, with iudc.
pendence enough to set mi emperor up ii
business and still have somo loll.
When Jack realized that Geoigohadgot
the insido track of him, his anger was at
white heat. Ho cursed Kirk ami cured tho
couipany,and old Whatcley tho superintend
ent, and all things gcncrally,until it seemed
a pity there was not something eUo to curse
he was in such fine cursing order.
There was more than ono thing that made
Jack Halliday down on Georgo Kirke. Geo,
had been his rival in many respects, and
particularly wherever the fairer part of cre
ation was concerned, Georgo was n great
favorite among the girls, for ho was hand
soiiio and generous, and good-natured, and
lack was sarcastic and always on tho
contrary side, aud tho girls avoided him, as
thev always should such a man.
Wo all expected that ill would come to
George, from Jack's bad blood against him,
and we warned him more than once, but he
always laughed and reminded us of the old
saw that "barking dogs seldom bite," which
Is true iu the main.
And, as time went on, until two, three,
four months had passed sincu Kirkc'upro
motion, aud nothing occurred, wo forgot all
about our apprehensions of evil, and if we
thought of the matter at all, wo concluded
we had wronged Halliday in our suspl
clous,
It was a dark night lu November, with

What occurred iu other quarters to affect

residence in Leeds, on a mountain spur,
which commando a view of the surrounding
country for more than a score of miles. The

in each direction fifteen miles, and Whate

Next morning ono of tho dally papers
contained an item to tho cfTect that nn old
gentleman named Goodheart had been lound
wandering tho streets at night, and that
when taken to tho station $10,000 worth of
United States bonds wero found on him.
The old man read Itoverthreotlmcs.slappcd

smllo covered his face and climbed up
through his hair. In about nn hour his own

called out :

The old went man with him, winking at
the lamp posts and smiling as ho turned tho

the son bought him a costly pipe and a pair
of box-toed boots that verv day.
.. . i

to suggest that the bonds had better bo turn

the subject to milk cans or tho necessity

er went tn bed to die, and he smiled oftener
than before as he lay waiting for tho sum

and then went through the old man's clothes
to find the bonds. He didn't find any. He
earched the the barn, and the. garret, and
the cellar, and finally, when lie 8aw that
death was very near, he leaned over the bod
and whispered :
"Father, do you know me?"
"Oh, yes I know you like a book," re
plied the dying man.
"And, father, don't you seo this thing is
almost killing me?"
"Yes, William, I see it."
"And father those those bonds, you
know. I suppose you want them used to pur
chac you a monument?
"Correct, William," whispered the father
winking a ghastly wink, and as that same
old smile came over his face, death came
lo take him to abetter home.
When evening fell and the son and the
son's wife were wildly searching tho straw
bed to get their hands on those bonds, n re

A Thrilling Accident.
The wildest and most improbable of Jules
Vernes' "Scientific Itomanccs" contain
nothing more thrilling than an accident
that has occurred at Uitnmore, l'a.,thogret
shipping centro of the Pennsylvania Coal
Company. The coal trains are hoisted up
series ol steep plains over the undulating
mountains that intervene between Scranton
and Hawley, by a finely regulated and ad
mirably equipped system of machinery
and where gentle slopes and long "levels"
occur are sped onward by gravitation, tinder
control of an experienced corps of brakes
men.
A runaway train down one of those sharp
ly sloping places is a rare occurrence, every
precaution possible being taken to avsrt
such an accident. Yet, occasionally, ther
is a runaway, and its headlong flight U
somewhat terrific. The train of which I
speak consisted of four cars laden.with coal.
They were drawn up the plane by a stout
wiro rope, and were preceded by a small
truck known as the "balauce car." Just m
they had reached within a few feet of the
head house the fastenings gave way, a mo
ment's pause and the coal train commenced
Its wild career down the mountain side, stri
king terror into the hearts of the workmen
at the engine bouse as they saw it speed
away. Down, down it dashed with a rusli
like a whirlwind, gaining in momentum at
It went until it neared the foot of the plane.
A workman named Durkln, who was en
gaged pushing a car along a branch track
at the foot, immediately in the way of the
runaway, saw it approach him and was par
alyzed with awe. It was yet several yards
distant, and he made a desperate effort to
escape. But with a Telocity almost as great
as that of a cannon ball it struck him and
the car by which he was standing, sweeping
both a distanco of 200 yards until Durkin
and the car collided with a large coal train
lying on the level. The scene that ensued
baflles description. The crash was followed
by a thick cloud of coal, pieces of wood and
iron, and in the midst of the destructive tu
mult poor Durkin was torn to pieces.

robe was white satin, and her hair was sim

of Burgundy, wore a dress of Bplendid em
broidery, a stomach of ermine, tight sleeves,
a cloak bordered with ermine falling from
her shoulders to the ground but she had no

the Archduke Maximillian tardy in his

Charles VIII, she appeared at the imposing
ceremonial nt' her marriage in a robe of
