Ever since— road was laid, I've traveled it every day, or nearly every day, of my life. For a good while, I've had the &tine engine in charge—the San Francis co—the prettiest engine on the road, and as well managed,-if I say it, as the best. It was a southwestern road, run ning, so we will say, from Ato Z. At A, my good old mother lived; at Z, had the sweetest little wife under the sun, and a baby, and I always had a dollar or two put by for a rainy day. I was an odd kind of man. Being shut up with the engine, watching with all your eyes and heart and soul, inside and out, don't make a man talkative. My wife's name was Josephine, and I called hor Jo. Some people call me unsociable, and couldn't understand how a man could feel friendly without saying ten words an hour. So, though had a fow friends—dear ones, too— I did not have so many acquaintances as most people, and did not rate to have. The house which hold my wife and baby was the dearest spot on earth to me, except the old house that held my mother, up at A. I never belonged to a club, or mixed myself up with strangers in any such - n - ^ - 3 - T"." - . 4- "-" - <•= --- r:hu , r l,l , if it had not been for Granby. You see Granby was one of the shareholders; a hand some' showy fellow. I liked to talk with him, and we were friends. lie often rode from Z to A, and back again, with me, and once he said : "You ought to belong to the Scien tific Club, Clinelden." "I never heard of it," said I. "I am a member," said ho. "We meet once a fortnight, and have a jolly good time. We want thinking men like you. We have some among us, now. I'll propose you, if you like." I was fond of such things, and I had ideas that I fancied might he worth something. But tho engineer don't have nights or days to himself, and tho club would have ono evening a fort night from Jo. I said : "I'll ask her. If she likes it, yes." "Ask whom?" said ho. "Jo," said I. "If every man had asked his wife, every man's wife would have said, 'Can't spare you, my dear,' and, we should have no club, at all," said Gran by. But I made no answer. At home, I told Jo. She said : "I shall miss you, Ned; but you do love such things, and then, if Granby belongs, they must be superior mon." "No doubt," said I. "It isn't everybody who could be made a member," said Jo. "Why, of course, you must say yes." So I said yes, and Granby proposed me. Thursday fortnight, 1 went with him to the rooms. Tho roal business of the evening was the supper, and so it was every evening. I'd always been a temperate man. i - ictually did not know what effect wino would have on me; but coming to drink more of it than I ever had befime, at the club table, I found it put steam on. After so many glasses, I wanted to talk ; after so many more, I did. I seemed like somebody else, the words were so ready. My little ideas came out, and were listened to. I made sharp hits ; I indulged in repar tee; I told stories ; I even came to puns. I heard somebody say to (Iran by, "By George, that's a man worth knowing. I thought him dull at first." Yet I knew it was bettor to be quiet Ned Glidden, with his ten words an boor, than the wino-made wit I was. I was sure of it when, three months after, I stumbled up stairs, to find Jo waiting for mo with her baby on her breast. "You've been deceiving me," . said Jo. "I suspected it, but I wasn't sure. A scientific club couldn't smell like a bar room. "Which means I do," said I, waver• ing in the middle of the room like a signal flag at a station, and seeing two Joos. ".iio look like one," said Jo; and wont and lop.4ed herself and the baby in the spare tied-room. One club night, as was dressed to go, Jo stood before me. "Ned," said she, "I never had a fault to find with you beforo. You've been kind, and good, and loving always; but I should be sorry we ever met, if you go on in thin way. Don't ask•me what I mean. You knew." "Jo;" said I, "it's only on club night." "lit will grow," said she. Then she put her arms around my neck. -PERSEVERE.- )N, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12. 1867. "Ned," said she, "do you think a thing so much like a bottled up and strapped down demon as steam is, is fit to put into the bands of a drunken man? And some day, mark my words, not only Thursday night, but all the days of the week will be the same. I've often hoard you wonder what the feel ings of an engineer who has about the same as murdered a train full of peo ple must be, and you'll know if you don't stop where you are. A steady hand and a clear head have been your blessings all these years. Don't throw them away. Ned, if you don't care for my love, don't ruin yourself" "Don't be afraid, child. I'll never pain you again." _And tneautit;_hu t itttifea ve o'clock that night, 1 felt that ,I had forgotten my promise and my resolution.' . I couldn't get home to Jo. I made up my mind to slcep'on the club sofa, and leave the place for good, the next day. Already, I felt:my brain real as it had never before. In an hour, I was in a kind of stupor. It was morning. A waiter stood ready to brush my coat. I paw a grin on his face. My heart, seemed ready to burst; my hand 'trembled. I looked at my watch— I had only five minutes to reach the depot! Jo's words came to my mind. Was I not fit to take charge of an engine ? I could not answer. I ought to have asked some sober man. As it was, I only caught my hat and rushed away. 1 was just in time. The San Francisco glittered in the morning Fula. From my post, I could hoar the people talking—bidding each other good-by, promising to write, and all that sort of thing. Amongst them was an old gentleman I knew by sight —one of the shareholders; he was bid ding two timid girls adieu. "Good-by, Kitty—good by, Lite," I heard him say; "don't be nervous. The San Francisco is the safest engine on the line, and Guelden the most care ful engineer. I wouldn't be afraid to trust every mortal I love to their keep ing. Nothing could happen wrong with the two together." I said to myself, I'll get through somehow, and Jo shall never find fault with me again. I reeled its I spoke. I heard the sig. nal. We were off. Five hours from L. to D.; five hours back. On the last heat, I knew I should be myself again. 1 saw a red flutter, but never guessed what it was until we were past the down train at the wrong place. Two minutes more, and wo would have it collision. Somebody told and so. laughed. I heard him say, respectfully, "Of course, Mr. Guelden, you know what you are about !" Then I was alone, and wondering whether I should go faster or slower. 1 did something, and the ears rushed on at a fearful rate. The same man who had spoken to me before was standing near ine. I heard some question. How many miles an hour were wo making? I didn't know. Battle, rattle, rattle I I was trying now to slacken the speed of the San Francisco. I could not remember what I should do. Was it this, or that? —flister or slower ? I was playing with the engine like a child. Suddenly, there was a horrible roar —a crash I I was flung somewhere. I was in the water. By a miracle, I was sobered, not hurt. 1 gained the shore. I stood upon the ground between the track and the river's edge, and gazed at my work. The engine was in fragments, the cars in splinters, and the dead and dy ing were strewn around—men, woman and children, old age and tender youth. There were groans and shrieks of de. spair. The maimed cried out in pain; the uninjured bewailed their dead. A voice, unheard by any other, was in my ear, and it whispered "Murder I' The news had gone to A., and the people came thi gaging down to find their friends. The dead were stretched on the grass. I went with some of tho distracted to find their lost ones. Searching fur an old man's daughter, I came to a place under the trees where five bodies were lying in rigid horror —an old woman, a young one, a baby, and two tiny children. Was it fancy, born of my anguish ? No. Oh, heav en I they were my old mother, my wife, my children—all cold in death How did they come on that train?— What chance had brought this about ? No one could answer. I groaned; 1 screamed; I clasped my hands; I tore my hair. I gazed in the good old lime of her who gave me birth, on the love ly features of my wife, and on my inno cent children. I called them by name; there was no answer. They were dead ! As I comprehen hended this awful truth,there thunder ed up the track anothet train. Its red eye glared on mu with a baleful light. flung myself before it. I felt it crush me and grind ,n to atoms.- ".Iris head is tixtromely hot," said somebody. 1 opened my eyes and saw my wife. "lbil`V do you feel ?" said she ;" it ht tie better ?" was so rejoiced and so astonished at the sight of her that I could not speak at first. She repeated the ques tion. "I must be crushed to pieces," said "for the train went over me; but I feel no pain!" "There he goes again about the 01611," said my wire; "why, Ned !!' tried to move—there was nothing the matter with me. I was in my own room. Opposite me was a crib in which nn • two children were asleep, and beside me was a tiny bald-heitil. My wife and children were sate! Was I delirious, or what could be the mat ter?

"You came home in such a dreadful state from the club that I couldn't wake you. You weren't fitto manage steam and risk people's lives. The San Fran cisco is half way to A. by this time, I suppose, and you have been frighten ing mo to death with your dreadful talk." And Jo began to cry. It was all a dream, a horrible dream. But I had lived through it as though my experience was reality. "Is there a Bible in the house, Jo ?" I asked. "Are we heathen?' said So, reproach fully. "Give it to mo this moment, then." Sho brought it, and I_put my hand on it and Look a solemn oath that what had happened should never occur again. It never has. And if the San Francisco over comes to grief, tho ver dict will not be—" The engineer was drunk !" Strange Hallucinations. Tulpin mentions a painter who be hoved that all • the bones of his body were so soft and flexible that they might easily be crushed together, or folded within one another, like pieces of pliable wax. A Lusitanian doctor had a patient who insisted that ho was perpetually frozen, and would sit be fore a great lire even in the dog days. The doctor made him a dress of rough sheep skins, saturated with aqua vita, and sot him, on fire. Ho then said he was quite warm, rather too much so, and was cured. Galen and Avieenra make mention of people who have fan cied themselves earthen pots,and there fore have carefully avoided being touch ed, for fear they should be broken. Then there is the case of the insane watchmaker mentioned by Pinel, who insisted ho had been guill6tined and another head had afterward, by mis take, been put on his shoulders, in stead of his own. "Look at these teeth," he would say; "mine were extremely handsome—these are decayed. My mouth was sound and healthy—this is foul. How different is the hair from that of my own head." Mr. Haslam, in his work on insanity, mentions a case of one who insisted he had no mouth, and when compelled by force to swallow, declared a wound had been mado in his throat, through which the food bad been introduced. Benvenuto Cellini, the celebrated Florentine ar tist, in his life, says•that the governor of the castle in which the former was confined had a periodical disorder of this sort; every year.he had some dif ferent white. One time he conceived himself changed into a pitcher of oil; at another he thought himself a frog, and began to leap as such ; another time again, ho imagined he was dead, and it was found necessary to humor his conceit by making a show of bury ing him. At length Ito thought himself a bat, and when ho went to take a walk he sometimes made just such a noise as bats do; he likewise used gestures with his hands and body, as if ho were going to fly. Noses have been known to be particularly troublesome to hyp ochondriacs. One man litneied his nose was of a ludicrous length, and conse quently kept backing off as his friends approached to hold a parley with him, fearing that he should put their eyes out, It is said that frequently this seine deluded possessor of a long nose might be seen going along the street, guiding his nose with his hand, to keep it from breaking the shop windows. A young man had a strong imagina tion that he was dead, and earnestly begged his friends to bury,him. They consented, by the advice of the physi cian. He was laid oil a bier, and be ing carried on the shoulders of men to the church, when some pleasant fellow, up to the busine3s, met the procession and inquired who it was. '1'497 . an swered. "And a very good job it, is," said one of them ; "for the world is well rid of a very bad character, which the gallows must have had in due course." The yOung man, now lying dead, hearing this, popped up his head and said they ought to be ashamed of them selves in thus traducing his fair fame, and if he were alive he would thrash them for their insolence. But they continued to utter the most disgraceful language. His excited temper could no longer hear it. Up ho ps ; they run, ho after thorn, until ho MI down quito exhausted. • He was put in bed ; the violent exertion he had gone through promoted perspiration and lie got well. -AA London correspondent tells of a very old lady who went, tea shop to buy poultry. The shopkeeper was polo and attentive. She went often, and ho was always considerate. Ono Saturday evening he was very busy whoa she came, and he asked her to step into his little parlor and sit down. Ills daughter, a young girl, received her kindly hut looked pale and worn. The old lady handed her a package di• reeled to her rather, told her to lock it up in the ettr. boar(l, and went it vay. Whcit the poulterer opened IL he found £l,OOO and a gold watch and chain. lb went to thank hor, and she Lold him to take his (laughter out of town for a week, then come to her. Then, after some preliminaries of getting ac quainted, sho transferred all her prop erty to him, :t25,000, and died two Weeks s tater. Moral—Civility costs nothing and in every case is its own reward. Business men are quite familiar with the printed endorsement on the envelope' of busi ness totters: requesting; the pool marit.r, • if the letter is not chllod for in ton days, to re turn it.

How a Young Lady Goes to Bed, Dismissing Mandy, her foster sister and maid, Miss Preston perfbrmed the .task of disrobing for the night,without other assistance than that of her own nimble fingers. First the little lace collar and rib bon were removed from the neck, and the bright merino dress laid aside; next the snowy skirts were lifted over the head ; then a spring touched in front of the rounded waist, when with a clicking and metallic sound down came the wide expanse . of crinoline, and Miss Charley stepped out of its steel circle, considerably collapsed, but all the prettier. A somewhat similiar mechanical operation was repeated, and numerous springs and curls wore set in lively motion, and then with a stretch upward of the plump white arms, and a long drawn sigh of relief, off came the little French "railroad" cor sets, and the dimAled shoulders of the wearer rose in unrestricted freedom. k The snowy ni lit gown was now i slipped over the had, and its delicate frills daintily adjusted to the throat and wrists. _Next the mirror was vis ited, and the charming little moues made at the bright face it reflected, and then seizing the brush, the girl proceeded to apply it to her glossy curls until-they shone like satin. Then to the washstand, where teeth white as cocoanut meat, were rubbed until they gleamed whiter, and the rosy face dipped in the gilded basin of pure cold water until it glowed with renewed crimson. And then drawing a low seat close to the fire, the young girl laid ono pretty toot lightly on her knee and began to unlace the tiny boot which encased it. In a few mo ments both little feet were bare in their childish beauty, and pressed down on the hot bricks of the hearth, while a careful measurement was made as to the relative lengths of the big toe and the one next to it, for on thin important difference depends the mo mentous question as to which of the two shall rule in the future married life of the measurer—it having been decreed by mysterious and immutable signs that should the great toe be lon ger, the fbrtheoming lord of the lady will be master as well, while if the second has the pre eminence, a similar fate is in store for herself; and her only master will be her own sweet will. In the present instance both of the soft, pink toes were of such sameness of length that the inference was suffi.- ciontly clear that destiny decreed the married life of Miss Chadey Preston should ho a state of equal rights.. - The young lady sat still and amused herself by doing a little prospecting in the way of gazing down into the coals glowing before her, and then taking her Bible from its stand, she read the lessons appointed for the evening,then knelt and said her simple prayers. A puff of fragrant breath from a pair of rosy lips, and out went the candle, leaving the room lighted only by the rich fire light. Then unbolting the door, that Mandy, who slept in her young mistress' room, might gain ac cess, when it should please her to leave the delights of the kitchen; the young girl turned back the soft blankets and snowy sheets of her bed, made the impress of her rounded figure in its downy depth, laid her innocent head upon the tastefully trimmed pillow, and, went tc her happy dreams. Au Item Whioh Every Man Should Read, We have, probably all of us, met with instances in which a word heed lessly spoken against the reputation of a female has been magnified by mali cious minds, until tho cloud has been dark enough, to overshadow her whole existence. To those who are accus tomed, not necessarily from bad mo tives, but from thoughtlessness, to speak lightly of ladies, we recommend these "hits" as worthy of considers, Lion : Never use a lady's name in tin im proper place, at an improper timo, or in mixed company. Never make as sertions about her that you think un truo, or allusions that you fool she her self would blush to hear. When you meet with men who do not scruple to make use of a woman's namo in a reckless and unprincipled mariner, shun them, for they aro the worst members of the community—mon lost to every sense of honor, every fooling of humanity. Many a good and worthy woman's character has boon forever ruined and heart-broken by a lie manufactured by some villain, and repeated where it should not have boon, and in the pres ence of those who little judgment could not deter them from circulating the foul and bragging report. A slander is soon propagated, and - the smallest thing derogatory to a woman's char acter will fly on the wings of the wind and magnify as it circulates, until its monstrous weight crushes the poor unconscious victim. Respect the name of woman, for your mother and Ni eters aro women; and as you would have their fair name untarnished, all their lives unembitlered by the slanderer's tongue, hoed the ill that your own words may bring upon the mother,t4o sister, or the wiM ofsome fellow erect taro.

WELL TURNED.—A discussion' arose lately at a dinner table upon the basis of the right of suffrage, when the fol lowing colloquy took place "1 do not think," said one of the party, "that all men should indiscrim inately be permitted to vote. There must bo some restriction; and if yon tear away all barriers, you may as well extend privileges still farther, and admit women to the poll." "Women I" quickly replied a spirited lady on the opposite lido of the table, a disciple, perhaps, of Miss Grinke, and why should women not vote ! Do you mean to say we are inferior to the other sex ?" "By no mearid, madam. The ladies, I admit, have generally their intellec tual powers as vivid and as well culti- vated a 5 those who have assumed the title of 'Lords of the Creation; but then I like to see them in their proper sphere." "Their proper sphere I And pray, sir, permit me to ask, what do you mean by their proper sphere ?" "Why, madam, the sphere of a wo, man is—a—it is a celestial sphere." u..
