BY PEPPERCORN-.
Like a pilgrim of old, 1 have roamed to aad
fro,
Heard maxima lotli fooliidi and wise,
And ever have found midst the high and
the low,
There are always tvo blanks to a prize.
A ilrtnn in the band always makes the most
Kotmd,
And a hypocrite makes the most noise,
And in every proleesioj. tlie whole world
around,
There are twenty-five blanks to a prize.
With money to spend we have f. lends by
the score, ,
To flatter tie, fawn and advise.
But how soon we rind, if we chance to be
poor,
There are seventy-five blanks to a prizn.
If to settle a grievance to law we resort,
What qnibles and cavils arise,
But one thing is certain, in everv court.
There are ninety five blanks tt a prize.
There are 01 her things, too, iu a journey
through lite.
Which dm dullest may see i f he tries.
Hut the risk is 1 lie greatest in ch.Msinj a wife.
There are ninety-nine blanks to a ju ize.
Ol It IDOI.1
Close th door lighMjr-,
lit idle 1 ho breath,
Our litlle earth angel
Is t lkiiitf with death ;
Gently he woiis her,
fcilie wishen io stay.
His arms are around her
He 6ea.r her away !
Music comes floating
Down I'rom the Dome
Aoirels are chanting
The swee welcome, home j
Come, stricken weeper,
Come to I he lied.
Gaze on the sleeer
Our idol is dead.
Smooth out the ringlets,

AN KSOINKEK'S STOUT.
No. Ninely-nine stood puffing and blow
ing tir sieam at the water lank of a litlle
wayside station a beauty ami maivel of
brass and iron and steel; strong beyond
simile, m iking play of the hundred coal
c;us it d'Cw swiftly along, wWh its eye
pic-rcti.g the rlnikiiess as a noonday sun,
with its Incath of lleecy steam and heart of
volcanic tire, and John Lath imp stood with
band upon w liistle and throttle, waiting the
signal to go ahead.
John L-.tthiop peered out of the cab win
dow into the biting cold and sleet butdcued
air thinking of the haul winter 'he al
most starvation prices to which wages h:wl
been reduced, and, more than all, of bis
humble home and blight eyed little boy of
half a dozen years, who was then dreaming
that papa would be home to breakfast and
spend (he next day, Sundiiy, with them.
'It's liaid to be poor," lie said, blushing
the icy frost from bis heavy beard ami
moustache, "and it. does seem as if the
company might be a little 11101-0 liberal after
the way they worked us and piled up stamps
durtnj the (Vniennial. Hut"
".John, lipve'a a tiamji," sung out the
til email from I he interior of the water tank.
'That's iioiliing new," w is the answer.
"They were as plenty all biiiiimor as black
berries." "Hut the poor fellow's half starved and
frozen, and ln'gs so bard for a t ide."
"Ride? Humph ! And get sent up for
thirty day, if any of the big guns of the
toad'iind it out ?"
The bulit from the open furivice ibmr
shone full npi n the face of the tramp as he
stepped fiom the desolate icy tank where
be bad paused to gain something of shelter,
even if little of warmth. A rapid sign
passed between him and the engineer, and
the latter continued :
"Come aboard. I'll take the chances.
I don't think the conductor will give me
away, and mighty clear of the brakeineii
showing their faces mote than they can
(sissibly help such a night as this. Anyhow
I'm not going to leave a fellow being to
starve and fieeze to death for all the rail
road 'companies this aide of Canada.
Blessed if 1 do ! Corue aboard, o'd fel
low." The tramp obeyed the summons, and
his Fcnnty clothing, nnmlied hands and feet
and pinched up features told bow sadly be
was iineed of fistd und warmth. '1 be 1 oaring
furnace set-dily supplied the one, anil the
dinner pails of the engineer and fireman the
other, though they would sadly miss their
hot coffee.
Two shrieks of Ihe whistlo, a tug at the
lever, and Ninety-nine started and shot
away with the long train following behind
like ati immense black. serpent over an air
line, around curve, through tunnel and
across bridge. Then John Ls?hrop had
more time to more closely scrutinize and
talk to his unpaying passenger. The mys
tic s'j?" that had passed between them lold
of brothei hood and pavtd the way to his
thinking well of him.
Yon aren't used lo tramping and hain't
been long at it," said lie, laughing quietly
at the rapid manner in which the snpperof
himself and fireman were disappearing.
"Not much, Cully," replied the tramp,
pausing with a biscuit i one band and the
half picked leg of turkey in the other.
CnlU?" lepeated John, eyeing him
still sharply, "yon are a showman."
Was, and ft few more days like the last
and I could play walking skeletoti lo per
fection," and heglanced npat the engineer
with the blackest lxwisible eyes, and a face
marked with resolution and bravery.
"What business? queried Jjhu Lath
rop. "Bar and trapeze."
He did not appear to have time to spare
to make lengthy replies only uttered the
briefest aasible between mouthful ; and
noticing this, li's questioner paused until be
bad finished bis almost wolf like meal and
then resumed.
"I n.ed to kick up my heels and strut
over the sawdust once myself."
"You?"
Yea, but I gave H np yearn ago had a
little et-Ui with a tigar atid nearly chawed
j up. Ami you don't look like you had fared
; much beUer. Here's a pipe t.moke and
spin your yarn."
"Well, I did the flying trapeze and all
that sort of thing in the Giand Tra.is-con-'
tinetital nod ever So many other things cir
cus. Humbug were a better name as it
turned out for ns. Yet we might have got
1 our pay if it bad have been a success, lint
we bad a bard time of it. The public
didn't appreciate horses gave out, wagons
: biokedown, the 'pieniieie t qucsli it i.e" ran
away aiih 'Bunes' of the side show, funds
ran low, the great polar bear wanted his ice,
I became disgusted and turned up bis toes,
; the zebia passed iu his checks, and the re
j suit was we became Hat broke and had to
I leave our baggage aud take the tramp
inline,"
"iJeen there myself," said John, becom
ing intert sted.
"Then I needn't tell you what sort of a
time 1 have bad finding if, Mealing tides
atid begging something to eat."'
"Bad enough in summer," grow led John.
"But now? Talk of the until pole, I
thought I should freeze to death iu that old
tank with the w ater di ippiug ami freezing
around me. and if you hadn't taken cue of
me, guess I'd have throw n myself under the
cats and made an end of the thing. Nottse
fighting hard times forever."
"Cheer up. You are all right now that
is to the end of my iuii. Then you shall
go home wiih me ami lecruit a bit, and it
w ill go haid if I can't manage to get you a
free tide with some of the boys lo the end
of the road. It is against all outers, but
John Lalhi-op has a heart in him that won't
see any one sutler if be can help it."
His pien-nce attested Ihe tiuth of his
words. He w as I ail, ro:id shouldered and
deep chested and his face told of goodness
in every feature, and his manner, if blufl,
was hearty. In the physical the stranger
was bis opposite. Yet bis frame was
strongly knit, and bis muscles, trained by
fevere and long continued exercise until
they slottd out like whiiicouis, st l ictlv obey
ed his will and were lirm ns steel, and dar
ing flashed fiom bis bl:ck eyes and was
revealed by every line about his mouth.
"I don't know," ho said, looking at the
engineer t hank fuliy, "how am ever to pay
you. My life was certainly saved, and it
may be I can do you a good tin 11 some day.
If the chance comes you can dejan upon
my doing it for I am not one to foiget a
favor."
"I believe it, but don't think of my giv
ing you a tide and a bile. It's no more tlrtn
any man that wasn't a biute would have
done, and who knows but either nie or my
boy when he grows up may want a lift of
the same kind."
"Your boy?"
"Yes, the brightest, cutest little chap yon
evei saw. I'll show him to you to morrow.
Yes, and my wife ton just, the prettiest,
dearest little woman that ever walked in a
pair of shoes."
No. Ninety-nine was running smoothly
and steadily along. It was Sunday morn
ing and there was nothing in the war not
even an up train to pass it 1 it il John Lathrop
would uncouple his iion steed and pit! him
in the great round stable to rest ami bo
cleaned for lx a-t nty-four nours. So while
the lirenian kept tiiseycsahead John seated
himself and while keeping watch of the
sttam gnage and Ii i-s eyest'pen, told of bis
eaily life under canvas and his present
home happiness, and the bright eyed, blithe
hearted ones that were wailing theie to
welcome him.
"The life of an engineer, "be said, "has if s
tips and downs the same as any other, ant!
is full of danger, and requires a sharp look
out, a strong band and quick decision. I
know one is never safe, ai:d my Jenn ie ofl en
talks of what narrow escapes I've had. aud
shivets as she thinks hrw other !i;.vo been
killed running over this very ro;.d."
"Why don't you givo it up?"
"Well, there's an excirement about it. I
like and the pay is certain, although it
ain't what it ought to lie, for the risks we
run and bow we ever cairy our lives in our
bauds as one might say" "Keep a sharp
lookout. Jack." (To the fireman.) "I re
member well running fiver this very same
seel ion on such a night as this, some thr;e
years ago, and going smash through the
culvert over the Big Stony and btvaking
things generally. Engine, tender and half
a dozen cats were stove and piled up tt
getbe: ; tny fireman killed, and I was drag
ged out from under the wreck, pretty bud
scalded and used up. But my time hadn't
come vet, and I was soon 011 the road again
and-"
"Something on the track. Looks like
someltody waving a lantern, but Ihe sleet
is so thick I can't rightly make it out,"
shouted the lineman.
John Lathrop sorting to his post, made
the whisl le shriek like an impi isottcd and
tortured fiend, reversed the engine and
whistled on brakes. But histiaiued eye
say that it was no use that he could not,
check the bead way of the heavy train in
time to avert limning over the object, be it
what it might, for the Mack was sonairow
ami walled in by hiirh embankments hac
escape was initossible. Besidvs they weie
upon Ihe something upon Ihe track before
they weie aware of it having just rounded
a curve.
'There is my home," gapped John,
pointing out into rtfcj gloom. The Big
Stony is just ahead a'td Oh, my (Jod !
If the rulvei t sh'tu Id have given away and
my boy have come, to give nie warning !
"Your home your boy ?" echoed the
tramp.
"Great Heaven ! yes," and the strong
man liecame unueived a. id robbed of all
decision.
"It ia a boy," shouted the fireman, "and
may Gttd have mercy on his soul, 1 believe
it is your John,"
The p issenger said nothing, but a wild
delermin.il ion d ished from his eyes as he
arose, climbed out along the side of Ihe
monster engine a Juggernaut immense
enough to have crushed hundreds at a time
beneath its ponderous wheels, and the
midday like sunbeams of the headlight
sti earned out and made al! plain to him
despite the thick sleet and darkness.
Il saw (aud a shiver other than that
produced by cold passed through him) a boy
standing directly ahead in the deep cut
waving a lantern whose blood red globe
shone like an evil eye. Though still at a
little distance he seemed directly under
foot and about to be dragged down and
devoured.
"He saved my life," muttered tin tramp
between his tightly set teeth, "and I'll do
as much for him if I can. Anyhow I'll
try. and I haven't anybody to mourn for
me if do go under."
Ilia resolution was a desperate one
tiiufil be carried out without the delay of a
single moment if nt nil. He swung him
self down upon tint pilot, twisted his feet
within the iron bars, and extended his
body as rigid as if carved frbm oak and
stietched his hands still 111 advance.
It was a trying situation, one requiring
the greatest courage a position no one
unused to feats of sirt-iigth within the
arena could have sustained at all. But be
did it bravely, and the engine rolled on
neaier and nearer and Ihe boy. suddenly
becoming aware of bis danger and the 1111
possibility of escape, sank down upon the
ties and his scream of mortal agony rang
out louder than the jarring of the wheels
or the hissing of the steam.
' Tapa ! papa ! save me. Oh, Mvente !"'
Save him ? John Lathrop was kneeling
on the rl.Hir of the cab wilh his hands
raised in prayer, his face white as snow.
The fireman had taken bis place at the
lever throttle and whistle, and the engine
plunged with increased speed mi a dow 11
giade to grind into atoms all that dared
oppose its w ay.
It was upon over the boy ! No, Heaven
be iiaiscd ; the arms of the ti.unp had
giasped, litled and dragged him upon tlie
piiot and to safety befoie Vouched by the
fire-brealhing monster; and when it paus
ed quieiing upon the veiy bvink of Ihe
crippled culvert, John La:hrop was hold
ing his biave boy to bis heait, hugging
him to his breast, aud crying over him as
a woman.
In the mm 11 of a char Sabbalh No.

In these times of wondrous and startling
political events, such an eruption might
not so deeply stir the nation; but. the early
morning of national life, when the blood
and Ihe treasure of an infant republic hud
been well nigh exhausted w ben the sword
had just been sheathed upon the retiring
of a foreign foe an aimed rebellion against
the constituted authoiiiy was an event I hat
shook the count ry from centre to circum
ference. To many the simple fact of
"Shay's rebeliion" will be familiar who
cannot, call to mind the ciicumst jnces.
Daniel Shays had held a captain's com
mission in the pa 1 riot auny din ing the
revolution and had been a brave 21ml gal
l int soldier. If not a native .f Massachu
setts, the best part of bis life whs spent
in that State; and in the Slate of Massa
chusetts was the rebolii hi. Shays was not.
prominent in the lust movements of the
malcontents, but being of rest less d i-posi
tiou aud a radical turn of mind, they found
in him a prompt and hcar'y leader. The
rebels were republicans run mad. The
complained that the salary of the chief of
ficials, ami especially thai of the governor,
was too high : that the State So 1 1.1 tu was
niistocratic ; that the lawyt is were extor
tionate; that, (he. taxes were loo bu deti
some to be home, and that money was un
necessarily scarce. They di 111:11, .led the
issue of paper money sufficient to meet the
wants of the suffering ieople, and that this
paper should lie made a legal tender; and
they i.lso demanded thai the general cotut
shoii'.d be removed from Boston to some
place iess ai isioci al ic. The genenl cm t
was convened and an effort undo to a Hay
the discontent of the complainants. With
the experience of worthless paper money in
mind ;he lawmakers would is'sue 110 mure
of it, but they went so far ns lo pass an act
where'.iy certain arrears u( taxes might be
paid in prouuee.
But the lecusants would not be satisfied.
Bodies of ai med men iuteri upted the ses
sions of the courts in several counties, and
in the month of December, 17SG, Shays ap
pea red, with a laige force, at Wt,lcesier
and at. Springfield, and prevented the hold
ing tif courts at those places. The January
following, at the bead of full two thousand
armed men, be marched tocapture the ar
senal at Spi iiigiiehl ; but the Slate militia
bad gathered. in sufficient foice to stop (hem,
and under command of (Jen. Shepaid they
gave battle, and put the rebellion host to
utter rout. At the first fire of the Slate
troops the insurgents II, d in dismay, leav
ing thieedcad and one wounded, of theii
number iion the. lield.
On the following day ihey weie pursued
by an increased force under Gen. Lincoln,
and neat ly two bundled of them taken
pi isoners, the remainder escaping noi th
v.aid. The prompt action of the statu au
thorities crushed out the insui reel ion at
once. A free pardon was offered to such
as would lay down titeir aims and leiuni
to their allegiance, of which most ,.f then,
took advantage. Fourteen of the chief of
the conspirators were tried and convicted,
and sentenced to rieaih, but afterwards
patdoned. Daniel Shay s removed to Spar
ta, N. Y., where ho died at an advanced
MN September 21), 1825. And that was
"Shays' Ht bt II ion," The following anec
dote in connection therewith is wottb rela
ting :
li.ttc nt niht, r.ftrr the rcpu'se of Hie
insurgents at Oidii.nicc bill, iu their ad
vance upon the arsenal. Shays sent a flag
of ti uce. to Gen. Shepa.d, request idg that
Ihe bodies of live of Ids men w ho had lieen
killed in the late engagement should be
sent to him. The officer w homcttho flag
and who presented the case to his com
mander, returned lo the messenger as fol
lows :
"l'lcsent General Shepard's compliments
to Captain Shayii, aud infoiui him that at
this lime he cannot furnish linn with five
dead rebels, I.e having no more than four,
and one of those Hot q-iile dead ; but if
Captain Shays w ill please attack him again.
General Siiepard will engage to furnish
him with as many deadasiiu shall desire."

suddenly I fell the tiaiti bumping and

seeing me said :
