No matter how well the track may be laid.
No matter how strong the engine is made,
When you fiud it running on the downward

Tut down the brakes I
If the demon of drink lias entered the soul.
And his power is getting beyond jour control,
And dragging you ou to a terrible goal,
l'ut down the brakes !
Remember the sdnge, "Don't trifle with fire;"
Temptation, you know is always a liar;
If you waDt to crusk out the burning desire,
Put down the brakes!
Are you runnir.g in debt bv living too fast?
Do you look back with shame on a profitless
past,
And feel that your ruin is coming at last?
I'ui down the brakes !
Whether for knowledge, or honor, or gain,
You'ie fast wearing out your body and brain,
Till nature no longer can bear with the strain,
Fut down the brakes !
The human is weak since old Adam's fall:
Rewtre how you yield to tippettte's call
"Be temperato iu all thine?" was practiced bv

Ah, a terrible thing is hr.man life !
Its track with many a danger is rife;
Do you seek for the victor's crown in the strife?

BELLE ALDEN'S TRAVELING BAG.
A train bound for St. Louis Iad just
left the depot of Bellefut.taine, when a
gentleman entered ti e smoking-car and
laid his hand upon the shoulder of his
traveling companion a tall, handsome
man of thirty, who Fat musingly blowing
rings of smoke into the air.
"Marcy," said the new comer, "if you
want to see at unce the sweetest and sad
est eight you ever beheld, go into the last
car but one on the train. There's an
emigrant German woman with four chil
dren, and during the afternoon the young
est, a baby, l p.s died. The mother and
the o'.her children are inconsolable."
'I can understand," interrupted the
smoker, "the sadness of such a scene, but
where is the sweetness you spoke of?
"I'm coming to that. The whole party
have been taken in charge by a young
lady.- Such a beauty! She dried the
mother's tears aud wiped the children's
nose?. She's a divinity ! She only reeds
a few feathers on her shoulder-blades to
make a fall-Hedged angel of her. If I
was not a married man, I'd never leave
her till I'd made Mrs. Angelica Townsend
out of her."
"That's a speech which I shall faith
fully report to Mrs. Agnes Townsend,"
said the gentleman addressed as Marcy,
rising. "I shall go back and feast my
eyes on this beautiful 4Si?ter of Charity,'
and," he added, taking his traveling satch
el and shawl from the rack, "as we stop
at the next station, which is due in ten
minutes, I may as well lake rny tixps
through wilh me, and join you on the
platform."
Thus saying, Richard Marcy threw his
shawl over his shoulder, and sauntered
leisnrely through the long train rushing
blindly and calmly to his fate. For, as
he entered the last car but one, he became
a witness and an actor in a scene that in
fluenced his whole future life.
The poor, griefstiicken German, of
whom his companion, Dr. Townsend, had
spoken, with the dead infant in her arms,
sat silently weeping over the little dead face.
Tho three sturdy children grouped in
childish sorrow about their little dead
brother, was indeed a touching spectacle.
But standing beside them was the divini
ty of Dr. Townsend's admiration, and she
who was most certainly to "share ends"
with the unhappy Richard.
She was a tall, slender girl of eighteen,
with magnificent eyes and hair. As he
entered the car she was speaking, her
lovely (ace flushed, and the small rosy
mouth disclosing a beautiful set of teeth,
turned bewitchingly toward the tall stran
ger at the doer.
"Ladies and gentlemen," said the
sweet voice, "this poor woman, friendless,
ppeaking no English, with four little chil
dren, was expecting to find wotk in St.
Louis to support them. If everything
had gone well with her, it would have
been hard ; but with her little dead baby
and sorrowing heait, feho is certainly a
deserving object of charity ; and I propose
that such as feel willing will contribute
their mite toward a little purse for her
immediate wants and the burial of her
poor baby. And," fihe added, with a
bewitching smile, "if any gentleman will
lend me a hat, I will go round and take
up a collection."
- In an instant the gallant Richard pulled
his traveling cap from his blonde curia and
offered it to the angel ofmercy, who ac
cepted it with a smile, this tiirjp all his
own, and commenced gathering the readi
ly forthcoming dollars her generous, grace
ful appeal brought from the purses of all
in the car.
Richard watched the slender figure in
cray gather the money, and looking at
the plaid cap in while jeweled fingere, he
bethought him of his donation, and step
ping to the 6eat the beauty had just occu
pied, he laid his satchel and shawl upon a
family of its kind, belonging to the angel
in gray, and took from his pocket a ten
dollar bill, which ho placed in the little
hand that returned him his cap. Further
damago tho poor fellow received, when a
PA., SATURDAY,
smile and warmly-worded thanks for his
contribution were dealt from the beautiful
mouth.
Dick was in the midst ot an elaborate
reply when the cars stopped. He lingered
yet another moment, seized his satchel
and bhawl with his eyes on the face of
his charmer, and then, even as the cars
were again in motion, he bethought him
self of the doctor, and hurriedly left the
car and joined his friend on the platform.
"Well," ejaculated the worthy, "I be
gan to believe you'd concluded to go and
bury the dead baby, -and make the pro
tecting beauty Mrs. Angelica Marcy.
Isn't she a stunner ?"
"Townsend," returned his friend, "don't
use slang in speaking of the noble ciea
ture." lie looked alter the train juet dis
appearing in the distance. "I wish to
heaven," he continued, "I'd remained on
board. How stupid I was to leave it. I
might have learued her name and resi
dence. And now "
"Now, in ail probability," broke in the
doctor, "you'll never meet her in this vale
f tears, lint you'll know her in heaven,
if you'll behave yourself well enough to
get there, by her wings ; she'll have the
biggest of them all, seeing they've com
menced to sprout on earth."
And thus rallying his thoroughly-captivated
friend, the two made their way to
the house of an acquaintance, with whom
they were to remain that night, and go on
next day to tLeir destination St. Louis.
After Ihe first salutation, our hero went
to his room to remove some of the eviden
ces of his long tide from New York. He
had removed his coat, vest and collar; ho
had splashed and soaped and washed,
till his damp curls elunjj close to his shape
ly head, when he made a startliog discov
ery. Flushed and breathless, he burst into
the next room upon his friend.
"Townsend,'' exclaimed he, "what on
earth do you suppose ? I've got the
wrong bag ; I've changed baggtiee with
the at-gc-1 of mercy. Look at tlta slipper.
See that thimble. Contemplate that
glove I"'
"It's evident you've got the lady's satch
el. And what was there in yours !"'
"Don't bring up that dreadful idea,"
said Dick. "Cigars and a hair-brush, a
pack of cards, pocket-flask and a tooth
brush everything disreputable. If I am
judged by that bag, I'm a lost man."
"And this I took for a clean shu t," and
Dick held up a fii'led and fluted sack,
such as do duty for more extensive night
dresses with ladies when traveling. "I'd
like to see Angelica when she opens my
satchel."
And Dick fell to musing, with the
slipper perched on two fingers, and the
frilled white lace spread out tenderly on
his knees.
In tho upper apartment of a handsome
mansion in St. Louis, on the eveninn of
the day our heroine first made the read
er's acquaintance, beautiful Belle Alden,
the petted and only daughter of the house,
sat contemplating the various articles her
confidential maid was disposing upon tho
table articles taken from no less a re
ceptacle than Dick Marcy 's traveling bng.
The cards and cigar case lay 6de by
side, and a highly scented party they were.
"What's in the little silver flask, Rosa?"
said the fair mistress.
"Brandy, ma'am," replied the maid.
"fie can't be very dissipated to travel
with such a little bottle. That's in case
of sickness, I suppose," returned Belle.
"It's my belief," said Rosa, who was
a shrewd girl, "that the gentleman was n
mighty nice one, else you'd not so readily
excuse the cards and the bottle."
"For shame, Rosa. All gentlemen
play euchre, traveling, and even clergymen
take a little brandy in case of sickness,"
answered Belle. "And this man was a
gentleman, and a liberal one, too, for he
gave the poor emigrant woman ten dollars.
What's that, Rosa !"
For at that moment Rosa held between
her lingers a letter.
Vrhether it was wrong to read a stran
ger's letter vexed Belle for a moment, as
her eye glanced at the supetsci iption and
handwi iring.
"Why, of all things I" exclaimed the
delighted girl, seizing the letter, "Why,
Rosa, this is Jennio Marcy's writing, and
addressed to Richard Marcy her only
darling brother who wjis in Europe when
we two graduated at Madam Ritter's in
Brooklyn."
Belle read rapidly till she roached the
middle of the letter, when she burst into
a merry laugh.
"Hear this, Rosa," she said, and she
read from the letter:
"Above all things, Dick, dear, don't
fail while in St. Louis to see my best
friend and schoolmate, Belle Arden. I
know you will fall in love with her, for,
besides being the best girl in the world,
she's a beauty and an heiress, and father's
choice above all others for his son's wife.
He ufod to talk it over at home, and
hoped Belle would not marry before you
came heme from Europe. She is full as
anxious to know you, and wears your
hair and mine in a locket father gave her
last year. Give her lots of love, and beg
her to overlook your many imperfections
for the sake of her old schoolmate, Jenny."
"Then the gentleman is, of course, Miss
Jenny's brother," said Rosa, "and what
will she say when she hears of you're hav
ing met in such a romantic way ?"
"I don't intend to tell her of it till I go J
MAY 27, 1871.
to New York this fall," said Belle.
"Perhaps her brother will call."
But in this supposition Belle was
wrong. The month passed, and she eavr
no more of the golden-haired Richard.
And she carefully separated the yellow
lock in the little keepsake from the dark
tress of Jenny's, and put it back into its
place alone, while another locket held a
piece of Jenny's, And somehow, Belle
looked very, very often at the wee, golden
curl, and she never did so but the rest of
the handsome head sprang up beside the
locket ; and she would sit and contem
plate the picture her fancy had wrought
for her, little dreaming the interest she
was allowing to grow in her bosom for
Jenny's brother.
In the fall, Belle and her father went
to New York, and the first day after her
arrival found her sitting with her old
friend, who, after the evasive meeting, sat
down to empty her soul.
"I am so glad you are here this month,''
Jenny said, "because I'm to be married in
October, and I have always been crazy to
have you for bridesmaid, and Dick is to
be Harrv's best man." Bello blushed. ,
"But Dick has fallen hopelessly, madly
in love." Belle turned pale.
"Yes, I was dreadfully provoked when
he passed through St. Louis, and never
went near you. But he went wild over
some lady he met on that fatal trip.
"He will talk to me by hours of Angel
ica. And when I have spoken of you he
has been positively rude, aud asked me to
have done bothering him about my freck
led school friends you know your pic
ture fhowj freckles ; but, bless me, you
haven't any now. And your picture don't
look any more like you than it does me,
not a bit."
"But tell me," asked Belle, "is your
brother engaged to this lady ?"
"Engaged ! Why, dear heart, he don't
know her name. He just found some of
her clothes somewhere. He's got her old
slipper under a glass case ; lie's got her
gloves stuffed under another ; he's got her
nightgown done up in lavender ; he's got
her gold thimble hung on his watch chain;
and I do believe he's got a hair-brusu and
some hair-pins next to his heart ! Oh,
it's folly to .interfere ! He's beyond all
hope ! I did think the excitement of my
wedding would wean him from it, but
not a bit of it. He looked at my new
thing; as calmly as an oyster, and said
it is not kind of me to repeat it, though,"
broke off Jenny.
"What was it he said V inquired Belle,
laughing now heartily. "Don't fsar for
my feeling9."
"Why," he said, "I'll etand up with
your friend, Belie, and see you Bafely
married ; and then I'm off to winter in
Paris. I'm done with love on my own
account. It's positively awful."
And so Belle thought, as she looked at
her old slipper and glove lying beneath a
globe on either side of the faithful Rich
ard's mantle.
"And," said Belle, "since he desires
only to meet me on the morning of the
wedding, so it shall be. I will be intro
duced only as we are leaving the house,
and he can do as ho pleases about con
tinuing the acquaintance afterwards."
Belle was radiant with happiness when
she returned to her fuher, and delighted
his fond heart by the change, for she had
been very quiet of late.
Jenny and Bella shopped and talked
and visited together for the next few days,
and when the eventful morning arrived,
and amid a bevy of beautiful girls, Belle
shone like a queen, the btido was eclipsed,
and delightfully acknowledged it. "Oh,
Belle I" she s;;id, 'lI long to have old
stoic Dick see you. 1 1 ark I there's his
step. Come into the next room and be
introduced. Don't wait till the carriages
come it is au hour yet."
And Belle, with a beating heart, swept
through the door r.n l s.'cod even as Dick
first saw her, only iu the place of the grav
traveling dress a magnificent white satin
fell in rich folds about her, and upon her
lovely white throat lay the turquois locket
that held Dick's golden curl. Upon tho
beautiful head, crowned by its chestnut
hair, a cornal of pearls added to that grace
and lwauty of an image that, shrined in
Dick's heart, was already an angel.
Bello did not look up, but she felt the
presence, as Richard Marcy came up and
was introduced to litllo Jenny's old school
mate Then, as he held ont his hand, she
raised her eyes, and laid her tiny hand in
his, and said :
"I think we had better rectify that mis
take about the traveling bags, Mr. Mar
cy!"
"Good heavens, Jenny!" said Dick
Marcy, "Why didn't you tell me that
your friend Belle was my angel of mercy?"
"Because I didn't know it till last
night, and then Belle mado me promise
not to tell. And, besides, you didn't
want to meet the freckled school girl till
it was positively necessary," retnrncd
Jenny, mischievously.
It would be hard to say which of the
four that made Jenny's bridal party was
the happiest that day.
Dick did not go to Paris that winter.
He found St. Louis contained more at
traction than any foreign city.
But. the next fall will Bee Dick and Belle
on their wedding tour, and he vows he
will have the two romantic traveling bags
brushed up for the occasion. Dr. Town
send, who is to be along, says he knew
the minute he saw the girl she would one
day ba xVnge'ica, as he "felt it in the air."
ax affi:jti.g sci:.c.
A genteel and intelligent young man
about thirty years of age, was recently
taken up at St. Louis on a charge of being
drunk in the streets and disturbing the
peace. He plead guilty to the charge,
and evidently labored under great emo
j tion. VV hen requested to give some ac
i count of himself (svo copy ft om the St.
I Louis Ball' tin) he replied :
"Sir : I have now arrived at the ex
tremity of that depredation which, long
ago, I become satisfied would one day or
other become my portion. Sir, I do not
believe I was born to this. In my youth,
when I first started in the world, my
hopes and prospects were as bright as the
sky which bent over me. I married a
beautiful wife, when I was twentyeight
years of age, and had acquired a consider
able competence. Sir, I need not tell
you how I loved her. I perceive by your
countenance that you know something tf
human nature, and are already satisfied
that I nm not a common loafer and
that I have been driven to the present ex
tremity by some extraordinary circum
stances. But I will proceed with my
story. Two yeats subsequent to my
marriage with my wife who was a
young Englisii lady of handsome expecta
j tions, and had a beautiful boy to bless
me wiiu his innocent endearments we
reeeived letters from England, announc
ing the death of my wife's father, and
soliciting me to come to England immedi
ately, for the purpose of settling up the
affairs of the deceased, and receiving my
wife's portion of ti e estate. I immedi
ately made preparations for my departure,
and leaving my wife under the protection
of an intimate friend, whose name was
Henry Anson Willougliby, I set sail for
England.
"My business detained me longer than
I had anticipated, and I began to feel the
most intense anxiety respecting my family.
The hitters I received from my wife grew
brief and unfrequent, sometimes startling
me with their abruptness. Just before
the final steps in regard to my wife's pro
portion were about to bo completed, I
received a htter from America, warning
j me to hasten home, if I would preserve
my luiure happiness and the honor of my
wife ! Imagine my dismay I I hurried
home, leaving my business still unsettled,
and arrived in time to find my hearth des
olate, my wife eloped with my friend
Willoughby, and my boy my darling
boy in the orphan asylum, aa object cf
public charity !
"Willoogbby had represented himself
a rich planter from Alabama, and that
he was sojourning at the north for the
purpose of regaining his healih. Placing
my child under proper protection, I flew
in pursuit of the destroyer of my peace,
with my heart bursting with revenge. At
Montgomery, Ala., I learned that Wil
lotighby had been there, in company with
a lady, whom he called his wife that he
had been for years a notorious blackleg
and swindler, and had gone to Mobile,
leaving his wife (my wife) behind him in
circumstances of destitution. After wait
iug fjr some time, and hearing nothing
from her base paramour, she borrowed
money from some of tho citizens and fol
lowed him.
Mad with rage nnd disappointment,
I pursued. At Mobile I lost all traces of
the villain and his wretched victim. I pro
ceeded to New Orleans ; and, on making
inquiries of the dfferer.t boats, I was told
by the captain cf one cf them engaged iu
running to St. Louis, that a woman
answering the description I gave, had
gone up the river on his boat some time
since. I immediately embarke.l for this
place, sir ; and my money being nearly
exhausted, I was compelled to take a pas
sage on deck.
"I arrived here iu a complete state cf
destitution ; arid beirg unab'.e to letrn
anything of my wife or the villain Wil
loughby, I became discouraged and dis
heartened, Thi bottle was my resort.
I mingled with the vilest of ihe vile , and,
last night was pursuaded by several
others to visit a house of ill-fame. I
entered and the first object that met my
gaze was my idje, sitting upon the lap cf
a disgusting ruliian, and lesigning her ten
der cheek, which I had not suffered 'even
the winds of Heaven to touch too rough
ly,' to his disgusting caresses. Sir, sir !
I became mad ! I can tell no more, but
that I rushed from the house invoking the
most impious maledictions upou him who
had been the cause of such misery and
anguish ; and found myself -this morning
in the situation you behold me. Sir,
nothing which you can inflict will be pun
ishment to me ; and you can bestow no
greater favor than to take my life I have
lived too long I am ready to die."
He was discharged.
A CRUSTY old gentleman in Boeton de
cided to invest in a two cent paper, and
handed tha boy a twenty five cent piece
of currency. He couldn't change it, but
offered to go out of th- car nnd change it.
Crusty man objected, and broke out with,
"Hold on, you little rag:el rascal, do
you suppose I'm gcing to trust the likes of
you with so large a aura of money. Lay
down your papers for security, you little
rascal," and the "little racal," did make
crusty the custodian of his papers, and
bounded out of the car "f t to c-iango" the
twenty five cent scrip. But the bsy for
got to return, and crusty found himself in
possession of four copies of a two cent
paper.
NUMBER V7:
A 32ot tier's Mistake.
I thought I knew before that grown-up
people should regard the rights of their
children, and be careful not to destroy
any of their precious little possessions
But it seemed I needed a little bitter ex
perience to make me know it thoroughly.
In cleaning un lh3 room I gathered up
some torn pieces of newspaper, and with
them a leaf from an old blank book
scrawled over with the curious hyro
glyphics my little boy delights in. I
crushed them all up together, and stuffed -them
m the stove, with a sudden fear, as
the flames devoured them, that the child
might miss his drawings. B:,t he made
so many such scrawls, I hardly could sea -why
he should wish to preserve any of
them.
After breakfast I heard hirn saying t
"1 wonder where that paper is that I
marked on last night. I wish I could
find it. Don't you know, mamma, that
piece of count book I made machinery on
when you lay on the lounge ? Where do
you suppose it is V
"Can't you make another one like it ?''
I asked.
''1 can't just remember how that was,"
he said ; "and it had my dmdul curs on
it. I want that. I must find it !" And
he emptied his box of playthings and
tools upon the floor, to make sure whether
it was among his books or papers or not.
I had not the courage to tell him that it
was gone p.tst a!l recovery, and by tha
cruel thoughtlessness of Li own mamma.
At last he concluded to try sgain on a
fresh leaf of ihe old account book. Pres
ently he came to rne, saying :
do want that piece I h;.d Test
t i
"Oh! I

Suddenly I found grace to say : "My lit
tle boy, I am afraid that is what mammi
burned up this morning with some torn
newspaper." "Oh! I can't live I" ho
burst out, "I want it so very much 1" For
a minute or two 1 suppose his loss was
quite as severe for him to bear as was
Carlyle's for his man's heart, when ha
discovered that his maid-servant had kin
died the fire with his precious manuscript
of the "French Revolution," on which ha
had labored so long. My boy saw that I
was sorry, and Le soon became reconciled
to a loss for which tin re wai no remedy.
It is one of the greatest wrongs)iittle child
ren have to bear the failure of grown up
people, who should be their guardians
and helpers, to appreciare their feelings
and aims. We expect the little ones to
understand us and try to conform to our
standards, but we Jose many beautiful
lessons in not trying to enter into their
spirit and plans matching the outreach
ing of their growing faculties with wise
and gentle guiding, so that all their happy
play shall really be useful education.
My mother told me how she learned to
enter into a child's feelings and bear with
its "litter." Her first-born son a chil l
always to her heart, becauso the nnlgela
took bim so early had got possession of
an old jacknife. She had just swept her
carpets, and put the room to "rights,"
when she discovered Henry, with a pine
stick and his knife, making little chips all
over on the bright clean corpet.
"Oh, Henry !" she said, TOu havo
littered my clean carpet. S- e how bad
those little chips loot on the floor !''
With wondering gravity, he gazed at
the dear little chips he had been so proud
to be able to scatter, then lifting his frank,
innocent eyes, he said earnestly ; "They
look 't!y to Hi.- r'
Instantly tho whola scene was beautiful
to my mother, little chips and all ; and
bhe carries the sweet picture with her ever
since, and all the little children love her
the better for it without knowing why.

TriE Vagabonds Fete. Years Hgo
a singular fete in favor of the poor class
was established in a corner of Switzerland.
The village of Gersau, situated near tho
Lake of Lucerne, together with the coun
try for many miles around, formed fur
many centuries a miniature republic,
called San Marino. At the village of
Gersau, the festival of the vagabonds fete
was each year celebrated.
Three days prior to the fe'e, troops of
wanderers, men, women and children,
could be seen descending the mountains
and coming from the surrounding vallevs,
bearing with them cooking utensils and
bundles. They were permitted to take
up their temporary abode in out house?,
barns or sheds. During the three days
the authorities suspended the restraint
upon begging and vagabondage the po
lice had no right to arrest, but on tha
contrary, extended protection. On Sun
day, escorted by a ymV armcy a long pro
cession composed principally of old men
and women, and little children, attended
mass, and then proceeded from door to
door gathering offerings of food and money.
The young men and maidens weto not al
lowed to join the procession, lcing less
calculated to arouse pity, but while wait
ing the return of their companions, passed
the time in dancing and sin'-in".
Tiik lady principal of a school, in her
advertisement, mentioned her lady assist
ant and the "reputation for teaching which
she bears," but the compositor in putting;
up the type inadvertently left out the
word "which," and so Iho advertisement
went forth broadcast to thfl wot Id com
mending the lady's "reputation for teach
ing she Icars!"
