|pmllancoU3;
I was very young when first put in
charge of the night express, but I,hod
begun my career a« an engineer ro early
being only nineteen - when X first ran
the Middlesex mail—that I was an ex
perienced hand when put upon the ‘G.IO
Night Express,’ though only 27 years
old.
Linden was our second stop on the run
out—thirty-eight miles —and the. town,
with its dulh.crooked, half-paved streets,
its quaint old cathedral, and pretty out
lying country seats, was very dear to me,
for hero Nellie lived when first I knew
her.
I hod always-looked forward pleasantly
to our arrival at Linden, for, as our train
came thundering up to the depot,on these
long summer evenings, Nellie was often
there, awaiting my coming, and while
Joe was watering the engine, I managed
to have a few pleasant words with her
before wo were ready to start again.—
Then, as the'hell-rope signaled go ahead,
and I stepped upon the engine,she waved
me a pleasant good bye, that seemed to
give me heart and strength during the
rest of my long ride.
So time passed pleasantly on, until T
told Nellie one day the story X had so
longed to tell her, and heard tho anawer.
for which my heart had hardly dared to
liope.
How light were* my labors, with her
love to cheer me on ! How dear the
thousand little evidences of that love,
offered in her own sweet delicate way.
Wo were to be married in the autumn,
and all ‘went merry as a marriage bell.’
when an accident occurred to me as I
was running the ‘Firefly I —my. dear old
engine, down to Linden, which materi
ally altered our plans.
I hud started four minutes late, and was
going at a lively speed, when, as we
swung around a curve, wo saw a man
coming down the track, waving a red flag.
Whistling ‘down brakes,’ we were soon
at a standstill, and leaving Joe to take
care of theenglne, I hurried forward with
the conductor, to see the cause of the
danger-signal. Coming up with the flag
man, we learned that a freight train was
oft* the track, a mile further up the road;
and for two whole hours we waited on
the main track; while the heavy freight
cars were being unloaded and- righted.
At last,' ‘clear track,’ was signaled, and
I sounded the whistle for ‘all aboard.’
‘Put her through pretty lively when
you get clear track,’ said Charley, the
conductor., ‘l’ve telegraphed ahead, and
we’ll have right of way straight through.
Now let her jump, Harry, and we will
make up time before we reach Sadler’s.
Twilight was fust coming on us. The
switch lights ahead winked their red
eyes and showed a pair of white pries, to
tell ua all was right; the hoadlightjof our
engine was lit up, throwing a stream of
light down the track, and with one long
shriek from the whistle, wo started down
the road at a rapid pace, with a clear run
ahead of us of twenty-one miles to Mar
ketfields Junction, our first station,
Ah,if I could have looked ahead—only
as far as Marketflelda--and could have
seen the broken rail which lay waiting
for me at an ugly curve, would I have
told Joe to ‘keep up the fire and see that
forty pounds were on the boiler, aa we
must tear along as fast as Firefly could
carry us?’
Wo were bounding across the country
at a terrific pace, leaving behind us a long
train of sparks and heavy clouds of black
smoke, the engine swinging from side to
side,and almost leupingthetrnck at every
turn of the driving wheel. On—on with
out slackening speed ; on over the great
plains and into the woods beyond; then
under the trees and out into the clearing
again; thundering under the atone arch-
Ways, flying past the country stations,
whvre the rustics were huddled together
to see the great train pass; on—ou without
pause or rest, through the valley and into
the mountain gorge, whoso rocks echoed
back the shrill whistle I sounded as.wo
swung around the curves.
The night was upon us as we neared
Marketflelda, and Joe and I were seated
at either window, our eyes fixed intently
on the track ahead, watching for any
obstruction on the shining rails, which
were glistening like silver serpents In
the brilliancy of the head-light.
Marketflelda lights came in sight, and
X drew the rope over my head. A long,
shrill whistle sounded over the country,
announcing our coming. As wo swung
around the curve I repeated it.
'Good Heavens, Harry! Look ! look j
look!’
And Joo’a hand struck mo a blow as
he sprang to my side in a sort of terror,
and grasping the whistle rope, sounded
repeatedly, ‘down brakes.’

WOMAN'S WORK.
THE ENGINEER'S STORY.
I bad seen it loo—the figure of a-wo
man upon tbe trade,ruuuiug towards us.
as she wildly waved berabawl in the air,
ono arm uplifted waruingly,. her face was
turned full upon us in an agony of terror,
her flowing golden hair lit up )n the
light of the engine, as we rushed down
upon her at fearful speed. I reversed*tho
wheels again and again, the whistle
hoarsely shrieking out its Warning; but
:tao7Jate:taDQ:Jatft,s~^Cei^ro“upisa^hoir r
as she uttered a wild cry of terror, turned
from the track, and stumbled, the engine
striking'her with a fearful shock, hurling
her far into the air, mangled,and torn.
Amid the shrieks of the whistle wo
rushed around the curve, our speed fast
slackening, when with a great bound
that shook the engine in every joint, it
sprung from the track, plunging into and
ripping up the ties, twisting the rails,
plunging from side to aide, and then
pitching into the ditch,, with a shock
that flung me insensible.
. When I came to, I was lying on the
.floor of a farm house, while close around
me was a crowd of anxious spectators,
from whom escaped a general exclama
.tion of joy ns X opened my eybs and
looked up at them. What did it mean?
1 raised myself up on one arm; and,
passing my hand across my brow, tried
to comprehend why I was there, and
who were those people about me. All
was bewilderment and confusion in my
poor brain, and it was some little time
before I gathered my scattered thoughts.
Then a realization of What I had passed
through came back to me, and a cry of
horror burst' from me as they .told me I
had killed the woman I had seen upon
the track. I buried my face in my hands
as a vision of that upturned face came
before me, so full of agony and of dumb
pleading. Then I roused myself, but they
told me to lie still until the doctor came;
then, as I insisted I.was not hurt beyond
a few ugly bruises, they assisted me to
rise, when I found myself stiff and sore.
My first thought was for Nellie. I
knew how anxious she would he. I
knew all she would* suffer until .she
beard I was safe, so I asked for pen and
paper, that I might send .her a telegram,
telling her I was well, and would be in
Linden that night, where I would re
main. This was forwarded to her at
once. They told me then, in a rambling
way, fcach one adding an item, the story
of the accident. .
A broken rail had thrown us from the
track; and the girl whom, wo had killed
had evidently discovered it while walk
ing home upon the track, and, hurrying
forward, had Imped to warn us, and mis
calculated the distance and speed of the
engine, she had been caught under the
great wheel before she could turn from
its path, having nobly sacrificed herself
in order to save the great train and its
precious load.
Bo much had been surmised of her iu.
teutions, and Joe and X, of course, con
firmed the story. Sho was a lovely girl
of seventeen, the only daughter, they
said, of a neighboring farmer—John
Dixon.
‘Poor girl! Dear, noble-hearted girl!’
I said, wiping away the (ears tiiat ill led
my eyes and choked my utterance.
X sat silent for a moment, thinking
what I could do to show my sympathy
(or the parents in their terribly sad be
reavement. At last X called a man to
my side—one who seemed to he giving
orders, and who seemed to have the di
rection of matters, and steadying my
voice, said, quietly :
•Where is she—the poor girl, you
know ?'
‘They have taken her home; they took
her home as soon as she was identified,
poor dear.’
‘lf yon please I would like to go there,
if yon think they would see me. God
knows I did not do it, and-Ho knows
that I would give this right arm,’ I said,
bitterly, thrusting it up into the air, ‘to
have san;d the poor girl; but I cannot
rest'easy'; I can never have an easy
heart until I have gone to them and
heard them say with their own lips that
they forgive me. ‘-You see,’ I said sor
rowfully, ‘I didn’t do it—of course not—
T didn’t do it. Heaven knows how hard
I tried to stop up short. But—the poor
girl, she is dead. It is all over now;
and it was ‘Fire-Fly and X who
did it. So, if you please, if you would be
good enough to go with me, X would like
to go down to them and tell them, in
such words as I can, how their sorrow,ls
mine, and how . completely my heart
sympathizes with them to-night.’ ■
I was very stiff and sore, and it was
with some (\lfflculty that I walked across
the room, but be kindly gave me his
.arm, and I knew I could manage to
walk lo Dixon-farmouly a spare mile, he
said.
I was, putting on my hat in the’ hall,
and adjusting my arm in a sling, prepar
atory to starting, when the tramp of
many feet was heard bn tho piazza, and
the door was flung open. A man stepped
Into the passageway, and held the door
open for those to enter who were carry
ing the remains of some poof victim up
on a bier.
‘Who is it?’ I asked, softly, address
ing him who had held wide the door.
‘The girl,’ he whispered, as he raised
his hat.
Ah, poor creature! All I could do for
her now was to bow my head reverently,
as they bore her past me, while my heart
swelled with emotion, and in admiration
of her noble conduct.
They laid her down gently, and thou,
taking off their rough caps, Waited si
lently for further orders.
The doorway was filled by those who
had followed tho bier; the stairway by
those who had come out from the rooms
above, some with lights in their hands,
and all gazing earnestly, almost curious
ly* upon the figure resting so quietly and
peacefully in the passage way. All was
hushed and still—in tho crowded door
way, upon the crowded stairway, in the
hallway, where stood the six stout far
mers who had borne her in on their shoul?
dors.
‘Ah, poor child,’ I said, while my heart
throbbed quickly, ‘how gladly would I
give my life to restore yours, so nobly, so
generously given !’
Then in very love for her —she seemed
near and dear to me in death—l leaned
over her, and taking one of her little
hands within my own, kissed if, and re
placed it gently under tho white sheet
from which it had escaped.
There was a bustle in the doorway, as
of some one pressing through the crowd,
and sounds ns of aobbiag and weeping.’
‘Make way for the parents,’ was hoard
from the doorway, and tho eager crowd
fell hack respectfully, as a plain farmer
and his wife came forward, filling thoair
with their cries. The sheet was turned
back from the features of tho dead girl,
and
What! Wasl mad? Shriek after shriek
burst from mo as I flung up my arms of
my own loved one—Nellie I
What'is there for me to add to my sad
tale? Need I tell you of the weary mouths
passed in delirium, tho coming tonud re
alization of the horrible reality ?
But of Nellie—my own darling. It
aeetns she had gone to Marketflelda, that
day, and had intended to return upon
my train to Linden. While waiting at
the depot, she learned that the train was
two hours late, and then decided to walk
down tho track, and (hen oIT by a little
side-road, which led to tho house.of a
frieud. Then, as tho time for tho com
ing of the train came around, Nellie
started for tho depot, accompanied by a
young hoy, who carried the lantern.—
While walking up the track, and within
a hall-mile of tho depot, they discovered
the broken rail, and Nellie hid the hoy
run in baste to the depot with the tid
ings.
She heard the whistle of Ihe train,’
said Hu* boy, afterward, ,‘far down thro’
tho hills, and she just stopped for one
minute, while she caught her hand to
her heart, and her face turned aa white
as the snow. ‘Hun! run, Jammio !’ she
cried out us though her very heart was
breaking, ‘Oh, run I run! for heaven’s
sake!’ And with one awful cry, such as
1 never heard before,.she turned and fled
-down tho track, toward tlio coming tr ain
awav iutp the darkness. 3
When they found her lying at the side
of the track—my heart grows sick as I
write these last words—they mistook her
for a young girl of the neighborhood,
who had heed seen.on the track shortly
before. Of tho joy of her parens at the,

HOW THEY BREAK WILD HORSES IH TEXAS.
Those who have never visited the re
gions where wild horses are caught or
reared, have but little idea how thenn
tamed steed of the prairies is rendered
tractable and useful. At the present day,
in Texas, the hordes of mustangs that
formerly ranged over its vast , prairies
have become almost extinct in the set
tled portions, and confine themselves to
the extreme eastern counties Ih their
place are horses, mostly crossed with the
American stock, which are iu a state of
semi-wildness—that is, they roam at will
until certain seasons of the yeur, when
all such as can be caught are driven iu
herds to huge pens constructed for the
purpese, to be branded and marked, after
which most of them are'let loose to roam
at will again.
When the owner of a portion of the
herd desires to break any of his youiig
horses, ho proceeds in, this wise ; The
first movement is to I/isso the hqrse se
lected, by the head and fore feet, and
throw him to the earth ; then a kind of
hair halter, called a ‘bosal, ’ is put on his
head, both to serve as a bridle or to stake
the animal by, it being much more effec
tual than a halter or bridle in checking
his frantic efforts to liberate himself; He
is either tied up closely all night or stak
ed at the will of the owner; The next
morning the sport begins.
All stock and horse raisora have one or
more vaqueros, which they employ for
the especial purpose of breaking and rid
ing wild and refractory horses. These
go out, followed by all the members of
the family, and’procecd to overhaul their
saddles, and see that there is no defect in
the * rigging.’ When, they are satisfied
that all is secure, they lead, or rather
drag forward tbe steed. He 1 is alternate
ly led, dragged, and whipped forward,
until he reaches the point where he is
be saddled. A leather strap attached to
the bosal is then pulled over hla eyes,
and a saddle-blanket is dropped gently
on his back, but very seldom remains at
the first trial, as he will almost invariably
shake it off. After one or more‘trials,
•however, ho submits to both blanket and
saddle. The latter is strapped on tightly
with two girths, fore and flank, strapped
Indeed so tightly, that one unaccustomed
to the sight would think that it was in
tended to cut the animal in two. The
rider now adjusts the stake-rope into
reins by tying it securely to the bosal,
leaving a long epd by,which to hold on,
in the event the horse should succeed in
throwing him.
Everything iauowready forthe mount.
The rider adorns his heels with a huge
pair of spurs, stands directly facing the
horse, abreast or a little forward of the
shoulder, seizes the underpart of tho y bo
sal with his left baud, pulls the horse’s
head round near him to prevent being
kicked, takes the stirrup in 'his right
hand, and, turning it towards him,places
his left foot in it firmly. Grasping the
pommel, ho now gives thosaddie a shake
or two, makes one or two feintsat mount
ing to see how his horseship will take it,
and then suddenly springs, seating him
self securely iu the saddle.
The blinds of course are still over tho
eyes of the horse; and', as a general thing,
he stands with his neck stretched out
and his head partially down—a perfect
picture of awkwardness. The rider is at
ills ease, and adjusts himself and every
thing about him with the greatest care,
as he knows there is warm work before
him. When ready for the start,he reaches
gently forward and slips up the blinds.
Naturally the horse Is rather astonished
at first, and refuses to move. A sharp ap
plication of whip and spur, however,
readily induces him to change his mind.
He takes, timidly, one or two awkward
steps; then, suddenly doubling himself
up, until he resembles a camel, throwing
his.head down between his fore feet, he
begins a series of pitches, whichconsisc
in jumping as high and as far as ho can,,
coming down stiff-legged. '
Those who have accomplished the ex
traordinary feat of going down a flight of
stairs at one step can form some faint idea
how it feels to ait on the back of a pitch
ing horse.
We have only described the manner in
which most horses are mounted, and
how they act at first. Some of, tho more
vicious will lie down when the-saddle is
buckled on, and it, requires a tremen
dous amount of whipping to get them
started ; some will rear and full back
wards, occasionally killing their rulers ;
some will pitch straight ahead for quite
a distance, while others will pitch straight
forward for a few jumps, and then, as the
Texan say, ‘swap ends so quick it.makes
your head swim.’ Fortunately, they soon
tire of such violent exorcise, being totally
unaccustomed to a saddle or weight up
on their backs, and break down com
pletely in a few hours. The saddles are
then taken off, and they are reserved for
another trial next morning. This exer
cise is continued for a week or more, ac
cording to tho nature of tho horse, when
he is pronounced gentle, and is tractable
enough for a good rider ; but woe to the
unsuspecting greenhorn who is templed
to place himself on his back.
A few of tho horses are naturally gen
tle-natured, and never, unless frightened
in breaking, attempt to cut up at all. —
Those who love tho horse, and desire to
see him roaming at will in his beauty
and symmetry, with glossy hide- and
flowing mane and tail, should go to the
prairies.
‘lt Was Powder.’—Recently a young
man, employed to overhaul a quantity of
paper, cards, and other printing material
lu a job printing office, on Market street.
Sun Francisco, California, discovered a
quantity of stuff that had tho appearance
of powder. ‘That looks like powder, and
I should not be astonished if it was pow
der,’ said the young man ; * I’ve a good
mind to try If it is powder, 'But, pshaw!
come to think what could powder be do
ing in a printing ofllce? No, I guess it’s
black sand. That’s more than likely.—
Sand is used to dry ink; yes, it must bo
sand. But there’s a big lot of it; almost
a keg. Now, if It should only happen to
bo powder, I could make., a. speculation
by selling it, because the hunting season
is coming on. Byjiminy! I guess I will
try a handful of it.’
Having resolved to make the experi
ment, the young man caught up a hand
ful, carried it olf some twenty or thirty
steps, and deposited it on tho floor. Ho
theii took a piece of paper, and having
lighted it, tossed it upon tho black sub
stance. Tho paper burned brightly for a
moment. ‘O, pshaw I it ain’t powder,
after all. It won’t burn; just my luck;
I never find anything that is worth
shucks.’ The paper by this time had
buruetTdown, and a single spark fulling
struck the powder, and there was a sud
den flash. There had been a few grains
of powder dropped along tho floor, and
a bright, sparkling flame flashed along
tho floor, like lightning athwart a dark
horizon, and in a second more there was
a terrific explosion. Tho old valise, con
taining tho powder, was hurled through
the room, and tho cards and papers were
scattered in glorious confusion In every
direction. Tho room was filled with
smoke, and the young man was spread
flat on his buck, but fortunately not hurt.
A number of persons rushed in to see
what was tho matter. They assisted the
prostrate youth torlso, and Inquired into
the cause of his mishap. He looked at
tho wreck about him, ami heaving a deep
sigh, said, ‘By jingo, it was powder that,
after all!’
YOL 1 58.-HO. IT
THE WHEELBARROW BUSINESS.
“ It is related of Girard, that when a
young tradesoian having bought of him'
and paid for a bag of coflee', proceeded to
wheel it homo himself, the shrewd old
merchant immediately offered to trust
his customer for as many bags ns he
.might desire. The trait of character re
pealed by tho yoflng man lu being hla
-o-wu-porter—had-given— j thO--mllllouai
’TtfnflT l efi‘
tion was made with Girard. Ho became
a favored dealer with tho enterprising
merchant, throve rapidly, and in the end’
mado a fortune.”— Exchange.
This sort of thing might have worked
well with old Girard, but it don’t fool
anybody now. I have tried it. I bought
half a pound of*tea at Peuderry's the
other day, after reading the above para
graph, and wheeled it home in the most
ostentatious manner, to see if Penderry,
who was looking on, wouldn’t offer to
trust me for all the tea that I wanted,
but he didn’t. On tho contrary, I heard
him speak up sharp to a clerk as I went
around tho corner, asking him if that tea
was paid for.
I afterwards took a wheelbarrow’ and
went to a flour store on Central Avenue.
Bought a small bag of flour, 25 pounds, I
think, and loaded it on, the head oi the
concern looking at me with apparent in
terest.
‘Now/ I thought, ‘is my opportunity.
This is a Girard feller. He will tell me
to come and get all the Hour I can wheel
away, and pay when I get ready. Per
haps lie will oiler, mo a partnership in
his store.- Thou I spat on my hands and
whipped them over my shoulders to,en
courage a vigorous 1 circulation, rubbed
them together smartly, and clutching
tho handles of the barrow* started off at
a brisk trot. I had proceeded about a
square, when I heard some one shouting
after.me. looked around, and saw the
Hour man coming on .a dead run.
‘Ha, ha!’ thought X, ‘the thing works
admirably. The example of Steve Girard
Is not lost. I haye revealed a trait of
character in being my own porter, to say
nothing of my beer, and my fortune is
made. Tlie Hour and feed mad recognizes
my merits, and comes tooffer me a full
partnership. As be approached, I saw
he had some money in his hand. ‘He is
at least,’ I said, ‘going to return me,my.
money; 1 There was a severe look on his
face as lie came up to me, which did not'
accord at all with what I had pictured of
Girard's countenance to have worn when
he gave the carte blanche for coffee.
While reflecting that it might be ‘his
way,* he said : ‘ Sir, I want you to go
right back with me to ray store.’
‘lt is coming now,' though I did not
quite like his tone. ‘Wheelbarrows are
about to receive their reward. He is going
to offer me a partnership; perhaps to turn
over his entire business, to me.’ I was
consequently elated. Then.l said to the
Hour and feed man (just as though I
didn’t know, you know, the clever things
ho meant tofdo for-me,) ‘May! enquire
. for what purpose, sir?’
‘Certainly, you may,’ be replied,-with
a darker Irown than before. You shoved
this one dollar counterfeit- bill to my
clerk, and you mustcorne back till I get
a policeman. Oj you needn’t try to look
so innocent. I auspicioned you when I
saw you coming round to my store to got
sucb a little jagbf flour as that. Watched
ye to see ye didn’t steal nothin’. You see
you can’t fool an old hand like me. 5
Here was a turn in affairs that would
have astonished old Girard himself. I
tried to explain. Assured him that I
supposed the note to be genuine. He was
incredulous for a time, and was disposed,
to have me locked up and the wheelbar
row detained us a witness—but he finally
let me off on my redeeming the note.
The wheelbarrow business Is all a hum
bug. A man can't make a character in
any such way. And the chances are that
■ he will Jose what little ho starts out in
the world with. —The Fat ContrUmior.
WISDOM OF THE EGYPTIANS.
What did the olci Egyptian know
about the oldest of tno arts, about farm
ing? He kuow how to manage his great
rivorHthe ono souice'of moisture and
fertility in that climate—so as to turn
the desert beyond its banks into a gar
den, and make Egypt a storehouse and
granary for the surrounding nations. He
built so huge as to retain suffi
cient water from the overflowing river to
feed it when subsided—a lake four hun
dred and fifty miles arouud and three
hundred feet deep—and this lilted up
with a skillful system of floodgates, dams
aud locks. These were water works ou
a stupendous scale, truly !
As to what he know about .building,
who has not heard of his pyramids,those
vast masses, some of which were old in
the lime of Abraham, and yet built with
such faithfulness and skill that the ma
sonry is still perfect? He know how to
quarry and move huge masses of stone,
ninety feet in length, and then cover
thorn with accurate and beautiful chisel
ing. The whole laud was full of these
wonderful statues, obelisks, tombs, and
temples.
About manufacturing, ho kuow how to
weave linen so flue that each separate
thread was composed ot three hundred
aud sixty-live small threads twisted to
gether, He know how todye it in purple
and blue aud scarlet, and how to embroi
der it. He kuow how to get iron aud
copper from mines at Biuai, and how to
make useful tools of them when he had
obtained them.
Butwhat did ho know about science ?
He understood geometry well enough, at
least for laud surveying. Ho understood
tlio rotundity of the earth, the sun's cen
tral place in the solar system, and the
obliquity of the ecliptic. He could foretell
eclipses, tlio position of the planets, the

works, he’ll always feel tired and un

steal an hour from refreshing sleep, with
the expectation of making It a paying

DOLDSMITH MAID'S BREAT TIME.

lively description of Goldsmith Matdjs
great performance on the Cold Spring

Dobio drove her tho report says :-
Twenty minutes elapsed; then the hor
ses were called up for tho second heel.
The Maid had dried completely, sud
looked gamer than ever as Budd drove
her past the stand. She, shook her little
head, and her bright eyes fairly danced
with mischief.
The start was effected without trouble
this time, and the bell sounded at Uio
first effort. Both mares trotted very fast
to the quarter, but here the pace was too
hot for Lucy, and she slackened her
speed. Tho Maid was dashing down the
course like lightning. She drew around
tho quarter pole, and flew away from
tho other like a kite before the wind.
It was evident to all that Budd was
driving for time, and instantly every
neck was stretched to catch his move
ments. He bent down in his sulky and
encouraged tho little flyer by gentle
words and manipulations of the reins.—
The little mare responded nobly, and
flew around the turn. All eyes were on
her. No one.cared for Lucy, nor did
they seem to regard her for an Instant.—
Goldsmith Maid and her flying feet Were
eagerly watched as she styept into the
home stretch. On she came, like a fly
ing lawn, Budd never casting his eye to'
the right or left. Ho was drlviug tho
mare for speed, not merely to win Ike
heat. Ho had never touched her witli
the whip, never called to her. in a loud
voice, but simply let her slip .along in
her own way. She passed under the
string with perfect ease, six lengths
ahead of Lucy. As she did so a long,
lank, lean badger crossed tho track,
holding in his hand an old silver watoh.
He was almost crazy with.exeitement.
He gesticulated wildly, and shouted; 'f
bet a thousand dollars that's the best
time ever made on any course.’ The
spectators looked at the badger, ami
laughed in derision ; nevertheless every
one was satisfied that fast time had been
made. All eyes were on tho judges’
stand. There seemed to he some hesita
tion there about announcing the time.—
Presently the board was hung out, and
on it was written the astonishing figures
2.17. A shout went.up, but only a mo
ment; there must ha va mistake some
where. “ Why, that beats Dexter’s
time,” said everyone. Tho correspond
eut was in doubt about tho trustworthi
ness of the judges’watches. Ho at once
mounted thestandaud interviewed thorn.
There were Mr. S.B. Davis, PresuMU of
tho Cold Spring Association, H. C.
Bradley, Secretary, and A. Burnham,
the principal contributor, of the purse.
■They all held their watches in their
hands, stopped at the instant the mare
crossed the score. Bradley’s watch stood
2.IB?-, Burnham’s 2ISJ, and Davis 2fIT.
The delay in announcing the time was
caused by this variance, and tbo judges
agreed to mark tho slowest time recorded,
which was 2:17. .
Not fully satisfied yet, tho correspon
dent went after Budd Doble. He found
him looking after the maro at the stable,
about half way round the first turn. Ap
proaching him, he said, ‘Mr. Doblo do
you know you have beaten Dexter’s time?’
He answered, ‘so I have just heard.
Well, the Maid trotted faster to-day than
tever I drove her. She was iii splendid
condition ; and when I. started on tho
second heat I saw she wanted tv go, ami
so I concluded I would let her go. Her
owner, Mr. Smith, of New York, told
me not long ago that when I got ;• good
place I should try to wipe out 2:1.';. To
day I thought the time had conic, and I
went .for it* Lucy was in splendid 'Au
dition, too, and 1 never saw her fi *. t U -
ter. She trotted the first heat in a way
that forced the Maid to a lively pace.”

made her fain«us time yesterday, was

WEREWOLVES AND SWAN-MAIDENS.
The significance of all these sealskins,
feather-dresses and mermaid caps and
werewold-girdles may best be sought in
tho etymology of words like the German.
lcichnam t in wnich the body is described
as a garment of flesh for the soul. In
naive philosophy of primatlvo thinkers,
tho soul, in passing from one visible
shape to another, had only to put ou the
outward integument of the creature in
which it wished to incarnate itself. -With
respect to the-mode of metamoipliosis,
there is-little difference betweeu tho
werewolf and tho swan-maiden ; and tho
similarity is no less striking betweeu the.
genesis of tho two conceptions. The orig
inal werewolf is the night-wind, regard
ed now as a mau-like deity and now as a
howling lupine fiend ; and the original
swan-maiden is the light ileesy cloud,
regarded either as a woman-like goddess
or as a bird swimming in the sky sea.—
Tho one conception has been produotlve
of little else but horrors; the other has
given rise to a great variety at fanciful
creations; from the treacherous mermaid
and the fiendish nightmare to the gentle
Uudino, the charming Nausikaa, and
the stately Muse of classic antiquity.
We have seen that the original were

kind of psyohopomp, or leader of depart
ed souls; ho is tho wild ancestor of the
death dog, whoso voice under the window
of a sick chamber is even now a sound
of ill-omen. The swan maiden h?s also
been supposed to summon Che dying to
iter home in tho Phaiakiau ianti. .The
Valkyries, with their shirts of swan
plumage, who hovered ever tjcamllaa--
vlan battle fields to receive tho souls
of falling heroes, wore identieal with tlio
Hindu Apaaras; and the Houris of the
Mussulman belong to tho same family.—
Even for tho -angels—women with large
wings, who are seen in popular picture*
bearing mortals ou high toward heaven
—we can hardly claim a different kin.-

castle of Lusiguaq, becomes a Bahshoe ;
aud it has become a common superstition

A .wemiiuk of the South Carolina Leg
islature, an old bachelor by the name of
Evans, got oil the following Jen d'esprit
lately:
Evans was introduced to a beautiful
widow, also named Evans, The in .re
duction was in this wise :
Mr. Evans, permit me to introduce you
to Mrs. Evans.’ /
‘Mrs. Evans!’ exclaimed tho sp:ii/ca
bachelor; ‘the very lady I have bean in
search of for tho last forty years !' V
Too True! —Josh Billings in describe
tug the horse fair of the Blllingsvllle Ag -
ricultural society, remarks, very justly :
“ There are > two yoke of oxen on thp
ground, several yoke of sheep, aud a pair
of carrots, nud some worsted work ; but
they didn't seem to attract any syrups'-*
thy. The people seemed to hanker
pure agricultural horsetrots.” v
Alas for tho frailty of human nature 1
We confess a weakness for “ agricultural
horsetrots,” too.
