state that my wife has derived great benefit

To an Old Boot.
My ancient pedal friend, a last farewell!
so many days we've footed it together—
The lane of Ilfe—ln fair and stormy weather,
eyes well nigh their lid dykes over
swell.
I well remember when thou dld'st encase,
My-nether limbs With pressure warm and
tight;
And many a convey twinge, from morn till
night,
• El... Weed the ardency of thy embrace.
Soon, like the love of some long married wife,
Thy grasp, lf not so strong, was still as true,
And pleasanter; and as we grew, in life,.
Thou wert as gentle as a pliant shoe;
And while on thee I trampled everydaY.
To shield me thou dld'st wear thy very sole
away. • .
Though I despise the slander monger's art,
And scorn the wretch who blackens the fair
lame
of one whose riches forttanels•hts name.
(The wretch whose steel goes deeper than the
heart),
Yet It lies been my daily want, Itnim,
To black thy faceurdir the attunes shone
'With ohms glow as lustrous as the hue
•That forms the charm 'of Guinea's native
breed.
Dot 'twos not that I hated thee, indeed;
I, prize thee - so, that when My sole broke
atm'. '
And let in -water, 'twos my special heed
A man of awls thy gapings wounds should
• -
• bel, , t
And twitching pa nes athwart my pocket shoot
To part with thee atclastiO worn and faith
ful boot.
The following version' of en indent ditty
Is circulating as a means of Ilxing_Yuudor
bill in theft/vet:lid mind :
"Thin is the man the beam have torn,
That married the maiden all forlorn, ,
That took the Wall Street bull by tbehorn,
That tossed_Jim_„Eisk D
, that—worried an
Drew,
That loosed the rats that stole the stock
That lay in the home that Vander-Mt."
Were I court-plaster. ',would be
,A patch upon her lip,
And spend my life in ecstasy,
And alp, and slp, and sip!
Were I a pair speestacles
Bow dearly would I prize
A situotlon on her nose,
To gaze Into her epee !

Engineer Chased by Eire at Seven

Narrative.

to the render, let me' say the Buffalo,
Corry and Pittsburg; road intersects the
Lake Shorn reed . ai"this,,plac,e., The station
at the junetiOdis called - Broeton.' 'Now let
it be understood tbat, .from this point to
Mayville, at thedieaclof Chautauqua Lake,
a distance of only-about, ten miles, a train
is carried- 'over.:mn elevation , of :700" feet.
From the station to the Stirintit the grade
is about 80 feet' "tO'the'mile, with curves
which increaSe•tlie - distance' by , miles.
It is over thii road that tlielnurienserquan

On Tuesday eveningsbout nine o'clock,a
train consisting of six oil wars and two pas
senger cars, reached the summit on its way
to the junction. Here, by some cause 1113 yet
unexplained, one of the oil tanks took fire.
The passenger cars were at. once detached
and the-brakes stopped them. Next, the
oil cars were cut off,.and the locomotive,
tender, and box carcontaining two valuable
horses and two men passed - downthe road,
the engineer supposing -that the brakeman
on the oil - cars would arrest the connse-`of
those, but what was his horror on looking
back, to see the six carsin -pursuit of him
down the 'grade - enveloped inflames. They
not only pursued but overtook' Strik
ing the box car with' Inconceivable force,
knocking the horses and Men flat upon the
floor, and yet almost , miraculously ,net
throwing the engine from the track.
It was now with the engineer a raceler
life, and lie gave the engine every ounce of
steam.

The whole-heavens were illuminated; and
the landscape was lit una.a by the noonday
light. Onward and downward 'flew': the

corning up the Lake Shore road.. .All Twill
say of the escape of this is that it did escape
to the side track, and only escaped:by; the
last minute of possibility..
Running on to a safe .distanee from the
depot, the engineer of the 011 train detached
his engine and left the six cars to consume.
He says hisisituation was frilly realized by
him. HaeXpeeted to lose his life. At every
Moment he expected thrfeitgine to leave't.hoi

rate of speed, but there was no help" , for IL
The demon was behind him,andhe declares
that ,it looked like a demon., ~With that
lewdness of real affection for his_ engine,
which these men d I sphiy. he said thought

The fireman made one attempt to escape
by jumping from the tender, but the engi
neer restrained hint. Altogether the occur
rence was a remarkable one, and in part re
markable for this, that no lives were tost.
The brakemen on the oil curs bad gene
back to, the passenger cars, when the oil
cars started. It was well they did. Unless
those rear cars had been detached and stop
ped, their inmates would have been burned
to death.—Grand Rapids (Mich.) Eag tc. '
