Than ever wore stum by mortal skill.
And bleached on the sunny tudo of the hill,
Kritifres wore woven by weavers, where
The warp is mist, and the woof is air;
The world Isdressel like a bird, in white,
Although the poor eld year died last uilit.

Whoso course is here,

.And battles won.

THE FATAL PRESENTIMENT.
"I Tow's i lie connection, Conduct orTom?"
"On ihe dot, ll.uty, and we'll get away
on time, sine."
"Well, I'm glad of it, for, to tell truth,
I don't feel like List running to-lit."
"Ain't losing your gi ip, are you. Harry?''
"Well, for this night, maybe I am ; but
you need not fear but that I'll make time.
I'm feeling blue to night that's all, and
have ut en trying to convince myself that
it all comes houi indigest ion, although I
always thought herctofoie that my inside
works were built tin the ostrich order."
"And piay what has happened to give
you 'the blues.' old fellow? You have a
good 'lump' on pay day ; and I have lic.vul
you more than once say that you had a
cozy home paid for and owed no man a
penny. What, theu, pray, is theie lo give
you M he blues
"You may possibly laugh at me, Tom,
but, the" fact is, it all comes from a pre
sent iment."
"No, my boy, I'll not lan?h at you ; but
I'll say that 1 am stn prised that one with
jour strength of mind, and freedom fiom
supoi st it ion, slu ulil give w ay to that cloak
to idle feais yclept presentiment."
"But, dear Tom, remember in how many
cases these presentiment's vf danger and
dent h have come true. There wast lie case
of I.'ewcliyu Wjnitness, the Welsh engi
neer, lie told a (l.'zen of us that he would
be killed at the Black Ravine some lime,
and svell I remember how we hutalied at
hi sii, a ml Ait i United it all to the ld Cm in i v
Mipeistiti. ii that still clung to him. And
what was the it suit? In less than a mouth
poor vYjinmess was bulled over into Ihe
Black K.imiih anil ciushert on, ot all le-sf-mblauce
to humanity ere he reached the
ditch below, with eugine and cars piled a
topof him. How do you account for that'.'"
-I giant you, Hiiny, thtio have been
cases wheii! these pienioiiitions of death
have come to pass exactly as foretold by
the one having the piemomtiiin oi pieseuti
ment. But, theu, i don't follow than a
tithe of these cupei st it ions co: le tine. It
uets to be a chronic habit with soma to
have them for a time and then f.uget them
until a new cause for uneasiness aiises."
"A railroad man knows the most danger
ous points of the road, and vthfic an ac
cident is most likely to occur. From think
ing of it often the idea lucmres fixed in his
mind that at that veiy pom! lc may meet
his death. The transaction fioni that- is
easy tnout;h to tins soul'-d conclusion tuaf.
he will be killed al that very point. I
think that was the case with Wjmmess
- . . . . i .. .i
ami olliiMS y. ol may nave in num.. aim
these cone id-jnecs have bad ti e (fleet of
stienglheiiiiig the same supeislitiou in the
in hols of of hei s . "
"Your a i g u:ne :it is i easonabie, I'll admit,
and I wish I could think as you do. Sinco
this piesent iment became implanted in my
mind 1 have stiiven lo diive it away by
evetvmeans, but in vain. 1 1 grows st long
er with each passing hour, and to day I
mad'; all my ai i an oeinen ts. so that, should
I beside tracked by Supei iiileiuicut I )oa' h,
my dear ones shall be provided for. Tom,
old boy. "u and I have pat in many a day
and nichton the road together, but I (ear
that I am about at the end of my "inn '
and that my feetwi'.l s.iou press the foot
boatd foi the last lime."
"Well, well, llariy, we've ail got to go
sometime, and a lailioad man should al
ways be picpaied for bis final running
switch. But it's waxing toward our time,
ami I'll go in and see if we'ie to be bother
ed with oi del s."
"My word for it old fellow, you'll forget
all about your dismissal piophecy. or pre
sentiment, or whatever you may be pleased
to call it, when you ate shaking the dust
out of the train, and once moie leel the ex
hilarating gallop ol your me; lied cliaigct ."
Conductor lorn went oil laughing, anu
Harry letuined to his engine and busied
himself in getting eveiy thing in shape to
caving ''on the dot."
A few minutes later the connect ion came
in, and when Hairy icceived the signal lo
pull tint, the face of the big depot clock
seemed wieathed in smiles as the hands
exult ingly pointed to the fact that, for once
the iiiylit expiess on the A. A: B. It. R.
was leaving "on time."
But the geniu- cf givtd luck dcseited
then ere a inn of fifty miles had been
made. At Hamlet a fieight engine oil" ihe
track at the switch detained them half an
hour, and that necessitated fast i niining to
make the meet nig poi.ir. a'. Hicksville for
the fast line.
Al Aubui ti fifteen minutes were lost in
'siwitiu" by freights ; and when, in start
ing fiom Conway's the link between the en
gine and ei pi is c-u looke, Kngmeer Harry
begged bis tiiem.m I . go soinew hei e out of
bcaiing, and use s'o og wotds for two.
Through ihe ina.Uei t.uice of the brake
man not A link is ' I"' found on the
tiaiii, and win:. seaicli was being made
for one, much valuable time was lost, cer
lain passengeis who were chronic gium
blots at any cause of delay. Held quite an
indignation meeting little thinking that to
Ibis veiy ciicutnstance they would,througli
L'lovideiice, owe their lives.
At last a cr; eked link that had bi en
thiuAu aside aa wuitUkbS wad fjuud, tho
I got off at the turn, and, leading my borse
to a stump beside the road, let ber get on
I his back with her bundle. Then, unbnclt-
engine 'was coupler! on, a careful start
made, and a few minutes later they were
tbiimierins; tiirougb Conway tunnel.
From the black mouth at tlio other end
to the point known as the Black I?;vine
was just one quarter of a mile. On this
section more acciilonts had occurred than
on all the rest of the road. This was at
tributed to vaiious causes by tbe men ; but
strange enough none of them ever advanced
the true cause that of fast rutintnif.
Your true railroad ni.m delights in the
"time' he can make, and is never so pleased
as w hen dashing along at full speed. But I
there was a cogent leason for fast running
at this point. Just beyond the Black Ha
vine was a very heavy giade.and to obviate i
the daiiE-ei of "sticking" on it the engineers i
invaiiablv "dripped her down a few
notches as they emerged from the tunnel,
and opened out for a run at the hili, and
by the time the ravine was reached those
on the train weie having a lively ride.
Conductor Tom's train dashed out of the
tunnel on the night in question, and the
enginee:-,as he pulled the throttle, anxious
ly strove to pietce the gloom beyond the
range of the headlight, as his presentiment
came to bun in full f:nce, and visions of
obstructions on the track, or a broken rail
flitiing through his brain.
Louder and louder sounded tho roar of
the train. It rushed from the cut, it echoed
over the valley among the wooded hills,
rolled like muttering thunder around the
crags and peaks.
Suddenly there burst forth one despair
ing shuck from the engine, then came a
horrible crash, a rush of steam, a thunder
ing roar, and down Ihe steep over the ci nil
jagged rocks into the dreaded Black Ra
vine plunged he engine.
On the track above there was a rending
of wo d and gi hiding of iron as ihe eneiue
disappeaied, and passengers were burled
'. broiigh the coaches and promiscuously
heaped with stoves, seats and baggage as
the train came to a standstill.
The conductor, who was unhurt, hur
riedly maile an examination of his train
and discoveied to his infinite relief that

Business prospered. Tony received $3
per week, the larger part, or, you might
say, the bulk of which he laid aside with
an idea to fulute investment and aftluence.
Yes, business prospered, inasmuch that old
Ned was enabled to have an addition, a
low shed room, built to his storehouse.
One day about two -weeks aco. Tony, re
t ti i ti i ii e from dinner, found old Ned sitting
by the lire, bro.xling heavily.
"Kdwaid, why do I find you plunged in
this utiimrieneiiablo gloom?''
"Tony, Ned answered, slowly lifting
his head, "I in no literary man like you
are, '.hough I pionose to bo a gentleman,
and am a person of some learning. Im
not a common negro, and I well know you
are not. We are no longer below thecom-
moil grade of w hite folks, but are climbing
towaid that summit but I'm no liteary
man. This is what I'm getting at ; I see
by the newspapers lhat all Ihe employes of
banks and mints are searched every time
they leave their places of business, not be
cause the men are dishonest, but for the
purpose of keeping up system.
T know that you are strictly honest, but
you have to be searched every time you
leave these premises. I don't believe you
are dishonest, Tony, understand, but you'll
have to undergo the examination. Those
w ho prosper must be systematic."
Tony stood gazing at the lire. The fact
is be bad been taking little bits of money
from the store, fifty and sixty cents at a
time, wliicn were so lnsignilicant in com
parison with his salary that he saw no
wrong in the transaction.
Looking up quickly, he rematked :
"Kdwaid, after due retlociion I have cons
sented to undergo the infliction. For the
interest I have in your store, and the hope
of one day seeing you elected magistrate,
and for the consideration that I may one
day take brother White's place, I agree."
The transaction did not interfere with
time, but allowed it to pass on as usual,
before leaving the store, even for a mo
ment, Tony was searched, and at uioht the
search was made additionally rigid, at
w hich time Tony was stripped of his clothes
and examined. The minute and hour
hands of watches and clocks kept on going i
rouud as evidence tnat time was passing.
Old Tony came renulaily to bis work,
bringing with him bis pet 'possum. Not
withstanding the careful daily search, old
Ned missed his money, in large sums, two
and three dollars at a time. He suspected
Tony, yet he didn't see how the old man
managed it. The se.iichinjf gruw more
rigid, and was carried to such an extent
that Tony was compelled to stand on bis
head every time before leaving the bouse.
Yesterday Ihe affair came to a head.
After Tony bail been searched prepara
tory to leaving for homo, he called bis'pos
suin, but the animal didn't come, but sat
on l lie lloor. He called her agaui. but the
animal only made A struggle. Advancing
and pickinir her up, ha was about lo leave,

"Look here : what's that about the 'pos
sum that lattlesso?"
"I suppose it's her teeth."
"Hold on theie. Waif, I tell you,"
Old Ned took hold of the animal, turned
iierover, and hall tt hatful of nicklcs piled
out on the lloor. Old T ony had sin ffed her

Tony protested that tho 'possum must have

AT EVF.UT POINT.
Senator Wallace, iu his reply to Mr.
Blame, held that no praclical results could
possibly follow the proposed investigation,
and that was why be ( Wallace 1 opposed
the resoltii ions. He read the fourteenth
amendment, and the court's decision there
upon, to show t hat no Slate can be deprived
of any of its representa' ions because ol the
acts of individuals. The remedy for nil
the grievances complained of by Mr. Blaine
is iu contest befoie the House. He then
showed that only twenty Representa' ives
were allotted to he Soul hern States because
of the enfranchised negroes, and not thirty-live
as Blaine bad stated. He said it
was not. tine that the while voter of the
South wie'ded more power than the white
voter of the North. "The first fallacy,"
he said, "in Blaine's theory is the bold as
sumption that the colored voters bad no
voice or power in the recent elections.
Who gives any one au'hoiity to say this?
Is it true that the Republican party pos
sesses an indefeasible estate in every col
ored voter in those Slates? Have thev no
liberty of t bought or I ic h t ot independent
action? Are l lie i r votes not to be counted
unless they vote the Republitan ticke!?
Such a staU nit-nt is utteily t:n wan anted
by facts, for we all know that in very many
instances the c- hned voter is independent
in action. I -ti the Presidential vole of
ISTti in those N'ci, the seventeen IKmo

people, were Democrats. If the ne u roes
who voted for the Republican candidates
iu the Southern States named are not to be
counted, the Democrats who votedi.r th ;r
own candidates in Iowa and Wisconsin
ought not to be counted. The Democrats
elected in the South represent the mioori
ty there just as much as Ihe Republicans
elected in tho North if pieseut the minoii
ly there. I ignores Democrat'c votes and
population Noith, and omits 'be pregnant,
fact that tbe colored voteis South both
voted and were counted in making up ic
sults. If negroes are voters, .inrl entitled
to representation (and the Republican par
ty has made them soi. then they are as
much entitled to be counted as are the ni i
noiities in any disliict in the I'uioti. In
every close contest since 1ST- their votes
have given the State of IVtinsy Ivan ia to
the Republicans. They hold the balance
of power there, and invaiiabiy cast it
against, the Democra's. If the) Senator
fioin Maine will have one result, he must
accept the other."
