TIIK, EXPRESS MESSENGER'S STORY When my mate asked of’me, last Christmas Eve, pormissidn. to remain wftp his family at the eastern end of our route, and not to make the tedious forty hours' journey towards the blue waters of the Pacific on which T was about to start, I had fob much heart to refuse him. He JoeNlel was his mime—hud a young bride ami a young babe, and it was hard to separate them. True, our orders from the company were that, both of ns should always jointly make the trip, for we were carrying large quantities of greenbacks tfttd national notes, for the payment of ttie Pacific railroad contrac tors j and of course there was no lack of robbers who were awaiting every chance to clean oqt our trunks, and’ perhaps ence. Shortly before nn express car barf been entered on our line, and Bill Hughs, the messenger,“beaten almost to death, mul his valuable charge taken ; and It was to guard against such future surprises that a mate bad been given mo; but Joe pleaded so bard to stay at home, and ex plained to me so clearly a little plan of his own, wherebv I could make the trip in safety alone, that T gave in to his re-' quest. nn«l hastened with him to set our litile plan in motion. Joe's brother, Ned, the engineer, was to run his engine for the first one hun dred miles of.my journey, rind'he was to help in the plan. You see Ned was courting a younger sister of Joe's wife,- and so it all* being almost in the family, he was willing to do a good deal to giye Joe his Christmas at home. First we went to the railroad superintendent, and got his permission to take my through express ear out bf the train and substi tute theiefnre a grain ear. My car. was one of these kind with a passage outside, and doors in e/udi end Ivesidea those at the sides. v This made it* easier of attack, should robbers get on the train, ns the multi tude of,doors required, a stricter guard against surprise, with an increase of danger.-^ The grain jenr had only two hhi« doors, which looked from without, but had two grated windows for ventilators, one at each end, with wooden shutters on the inside to close them up lightly, Ned was to lock me in, and to hand the key to the next engineer that came on, with some private instructions. WeH at 7 o’clock on Christmas eve the train was ready to start. Our express superintendent was down to see uh off, and noticed the changed car shut, sup posing (lie other fo he out of repair. said notliing. He watched me place the valuable packages I had received in my safe and iron chest, and (hen springing into the car warned both Joe ami myself to be very careful, as he had news that mischief was intended before long. Joe was helping mo in the car sons to.appear before the superintendent to be going with me- Ned came and locked us in. Joe first kissing Ids wife, who was on the platform, goodtbye, ami pretending— lucky fidlow-r-that be was so «orr3 T he was golng away at Christmas. • As w>«m as the door was shut and locked Joe went through that on the other able, fust thanking me again for befriending him, and then I heard him lock the other door with the key Ned hail sent Jo him by his fireman. We were off in a few moments, and I had time to look around and arrange my fo,. make the trip ms comfortable as possible. There was no receiving or handing out of packages to be Hone ti’l the next morning, when the new engineer would open my door. Ned would leave us about midnight, and till then, when he would look in upon me. I might make myself as happy or miserable as I chose. Tn less than nn hour after leaving I had slung a hammock I carried with me, and had turned In. Tiie shutter over the forward ventilator—my car was next to (he engine—l had closed down and fastened it with a wedge, to keep the wind from blowing it open. The rear ventilator I left open, the little six by Mx hole, guarded by three iron bars, giv ing me ventilation. Near this I had slung my hammock, ami then, with my revolver in a box close at hand, ami with the bell rope running just over my head. I surely was in safety, and so I dropped asleep. How long T slept! could not tell before 1 awakened with a start as something passed over my mouth. It seemed like a mouse or a rat, lint it left an over whelming smell, a close, suffocating feel ing. and b< fore I c uld open my eyes to see clearly, or could come to my senses, I was again asleep. Again T awoke, this time completely, hut with a fearful weight, of oppression over ray eye*. My head ached, and I strove to place my hand upon it. My hand would not obey my wish ; I must be paralyzed \ itr seem ed as if I was yet dreaming; I bad no power over hand or limb. Another ef fort I would make to shake oft this dead ly feeling, but as I strove to turn in my nammock, or to lift o.ysclf, something could touches my forehead with a re ireshing coolness, ami agrult voice bids me lie quiet. I turn my head with in tense difficulty and pain, and I see a Two olher black-visnged rrien arc bual- I3' porting out. my valuables, and are throwing all dangerous bonds and pa -pers-mlo -one-eorm?r-of"’the’ca ibcynre placing in bags the currency and notes.. The man watching "me speaks, and says: ‘No 1, bo is enme too.* No. 1 comes cl "so and looks at. me; he also is hlack-visagod, made so, I now sec, by a crape veil ormask. Wltlunitspeak jng, he returns to his work of sorting the money. • Having nothing else to do. T looked more closely at myself. Small, thin cords, which* cut deeply into my are tied around my wrists ami anklesi while others tie nm tightly to the hammock. T must indeed, have been far gone in sleep, and deeply drugged, to have allowed tills. The robbers evi dently mean me no harm, but bow can I face the company after tills robbery ? Plow account for the absence of Joe, without bringing about, his immedijde dismissal? As for myself, it. will he the old story. The 1 opera will say I was a witling confederate, and submitted to being lied and. robbed. I shall be im prisoned, perhaps for life., My poor wile and children will he worse than father less. No. 1, who ia hard at. work yet with hia companion, opening the bundle ami porting' out their contents here for'the lirst time spunks. ‘We’re .nearing the Imp tunnel. No. 2/ lie says in a light lisping voice. Even in my half stupor T know that voice. If it ia whom t thirtk it ia hia left arm ia slightly crooked, the palm of the ham! turned nearly out wards. As he moves into the light of the solitary lamp to glance at some bonds U plainly see the turned hand.— ‘Kill Lane/ I call, ‘won’t yon free my hands? thiaj?onl hurts- me- 1 With n forward: ‘You’ve sealed your doom/ he says; ‘you must die now/ I pleaded for life, fer he has cast aside the crape and I see the devil in hia eve. Bill used.to he oh our run aa messenger, hnt'a robbery occurred of which, he waa ananeoted of assisting in, or at lenst of allowing himself to bo rob bed, and was discharged. But I pleaded in vain. The conspira tors confer among themselves for a few momenta, and then my hammock ia un hooked and thrown upon the lloor.nnd I . rolled nn in It. end into .an incredible small apace. The bundle is (lien tied np lightly, and one of the robbers tries i:s weight. T am slight of form, and he can eaaily lift the living bundle up. ami throw it on his shoulder. How can they me from the car ? How they got in is as yet a mystery (o me.’ Tire floors are locked on the outside, and could'not ho broken open with the train at full speed from without. As I lie upon the floor, nearly suffocated and In fearful pain from my cramped position ami the lightness of the ropes, Bill hisses in my car, ‘We are going to throw you over the Rocky Run/ Even death in the form of being cast a living bundle from the cars into the wa ters of the run. winch we cross in a short tirfi'o ar an Immense height, is preferable to the agony I am enduring. I think I prayed with all my sou! then. I have prayed before going into battle, when expecting to be wrecked at sen. and at trtit/X fwver - all my.sou I. Then there wa- a cham*» of-escape, here there was none- My senses quickened with the agony of the momenta, were won erfuHy acute, or else I was already an delirum. - T thought I heard voices at the forward ventilator* I thought f heard him say ‘Watch close and shoot if there la danger/ Of course It was fanev, for the train was going at full speed, and must ho at his post on the engine. Next I hoard cautious footsteps.on the. roof of my car—probably, if anybody, it waa a brakeman going over the car to the engine for his lunch cam which was there keeping hot. I lay still pniving a few moments longer,-Alien more footsteps are plainly heard on the roof. This time I-was sure there were two or .three persons. Ah, I foigot, no doubt, they were confederates watching outside while the three within did the plundering. A’! of a sudden the hell pull overhead rat tled as If energetically pulled ; the engine whistled brakes, and I fell every brake on the Lain was -being put down to a purpose. . Tlie robbers consulted for a moment, mill then mu’ said, ‘lt is nolbim:, they «re slnppliiK fora bot journal perhaps.— Bill sprung Ur me ami pressing bis re volver harii against my body. I; 'aw' 11 . ‘ if they call for you, any all right. Before p could reply, a rasping noise was beard, followed by the report of a pistol, and the fall of some heavy body across my already over-taxed frame. I fainted. , When I came too Xed wasclmfilng my hands, and half a'dozen were nibbing my swollen and chafed limbs, while brandy was being placed on my lips.— “Ned was almost hysterical when I came too, but tbs craziest of all was little. Tacit, the wood passer of the engine, who kept, shouting,‘l abet him,-I slot him,' till smile one knocked him down to make him quiet. Then it all came out. The robbers had been concealed on the rear of my car, and had watched mo through the grad ing. On my going In sleep, a slender slick, with, a sponge snaked in chloro form at tine end, had been placed under my linse, rousing me for a moment hut to"send' me into a deeper sleep. Then with a fine saw a p otion of the end of the ear had been rmnoved, through which they crept, and then closed it be hind them. Ned aftera while though he would have a look at me, so crawling over Ida engine he essayed to open the ventilated shutter and peep through Finding it fast he looked, through Iho hell-rope hole, which happened to he a largo one, and taking In mutters at a glance, he had-called little Jack to him, and handing his revolver had given him the message I hail heard. Then crossing the car he had obtained (lie services of the conductor, brakesmen and some willing passengers, and havingsurrouud ed ai far as they could a fast-moving car, he hod pulled the bell and an signalled the fireman to slop. When Jack saw BUI point tils revolver at me he thought he was going to shoot me, so forcing the ventilating shutter open he brought him with a well aimed bullet, killing him Instantly. We took the other two to a town on our mute where justice was done them. They got thirty years ftec hoard. As for Neil, the'express folks were vexed at first, but as I bad sufi'ered so much ami pleaded hard for both him and myself, we kept our old places ami still do. Chilstmas day I spent in bed and also a few (lavs aflenva'lif getting well, but they brought my wife and fami- Iv to me aud wo didu t fare so badly after all. , ]. ■ r : Don't Stand Still.—lf yon do you will be run over.

Instead of the usual (i>h ami flesh and fowl and bread, all that was pjueed before him was either of gold, silver, or precious stones. Thus, instead of the soup there was a plate of emeralds. The goblet of wine was repro sented hy a goblet of pearls. Birds artis tically made of gold were served np to him, ami silver leave* were theie to rep resent the wheaten loaf.

Do You Want to Livk Long ?—lf yon do, go and get married, am! stand not on the order of your going. Dr, Hall, in one of his “ Health Tracts/* gives the following reasons why marriage is favor aide to health; Bachelors are always in a state of unrest; (hey feel unsettled. If indoors after supper, there is a sense of solitariness, including a sadness, if not actual mejancludv. with all its depress ing influences; and many, many hours in the course of the year are spent in gloomy inactivity, which is adverse to a good "digestion and a vigorous and healthy circulation. His own chamber or house being so uninviting, the bache lor is inclined to seek diversion outside jn snpners with friends, to clubs, which are introdueforiea of intemperance and licentiousness, or (hose more unblushing ass relations which, under Ithe coyer of darkness. lead to the speedy ruin of health mul morals, and when these are gone, the way downward is an easy one.” Now that this point Is Fettled, here is another recommendation worth taking to heart. Dr. Din Lewis says: “Every person of remarkable longevity-, whose habits‘T have studied retired to rest at.an early hour. He may have transgressed other laws of health —for example, he may have used spirits and tobacco moderately; hut I have heard of no long liver who ha bitually Hat up-1111 a lute hour, and I hiay add that among them all I have never,- read of a large eater. Ea* right and sleep right, and you have the two fundamental conditions of health ami long life- Establish these two sources of life as fixed habits, and if you get drunk once a month and smoke live cigars a day, you may, notwithstand ing, live a long fife in the enjoyment of good health. But sit up in n furnace heated room till 11 o’clock, and eat the quantity and quality of food consumed by people who believe in a short life ami a merry one, and Veil may rest assured that the yearly trip to the mountains, a month’s guzzle of Saratoga waters, anil the attentions of a fashionable doctor all put together—will fail to save you from early wrinkles, early loss of sight, premature gray hair, and a short life. Then do you ask mo bow you can reach 85 in, the enjoyment of all your,faculties. I reply, go to bed at 9 o’clock, ami eat twice a day a mdderate quantity of plain food ” Mauic TWAIN's N t a«.—l have a homo by tbe name of Jerico. Ho is a mine.

The iluflalo Express has a wonderful war map. drawn and engraved hy Mark' Twain, with explanations bv the artist. Appended are some recommendations which the work has received.

I claim no Other merit for this produce tlon (if I may so cull It) than that It is ,4icciirate.;_.The.4nnUiJ)Jeraish,.af,thc.city. paper maps, of which It Is an Imitation, Is that in them more attention is paid to artistic plcturesqueucss than geographi cal reliability. inasmuch as tills is the first time I ever tried to engrave and draft a map, or .attempt anything in the lino of art at aM. the commendations the-work has received and the admiration It has exci ted among the people, have been very grateful to my feelings. And it Is touch ing to reflect that by far the beat enthu siastic of these praises have come from people who know uothing'at all about art By an unimportant oversight I have engraved t!:o map so It reads wrong end first, except to left hand people. I for got that In order to make it right In print it should ho drawn and engraved upside down. However, lot the student who desires to contemplate the map stand on his head or hold It before her looking-glass. That will bring it right. The readers, will comprehend at n glance that the piece of river with the ‘High Bridge’ over It got left out to one side hy reason of nslip of the granning tool which rendered it necessary to change the'entire course of the river'Khine or else spoil the map. After having spent two days in digging and gouging at the map. I would have changed the course of the Atlantic Ocean before I would have lost so much work. I never had so much trouble with any thing in my life as I did with this map. I hail heaps of little formications scat tered all around Paris, at first, but every now ami then my instruments would slip and fetch away whole lines of batter ies and leave (he vicinity as clean as if the Prussians find been there. The reader will find if well to frame this map for future reference, so that It may aid In extending popular Intelligence and dispelling the wide spread ignorance of the day. Mark Twain.
