A PERILOUS HOUR, I was apprenticed te.li decorative painter,but being of a bold, danger-leV ing turn, I ran away to sea.befbre my tine was out. After some years of knocking about, I got tired of a mar itime life, and having married and de termined to stick to shore, I got work with a builder rXt . liose peculiar line lay in erecting tall chimneys. I had always a very cool head, and could stand on' elevations that made most men dizzy, and so I was soon a favorite man with my master. We had on one occasion to fasten a light i ng-cond cter Which had sprung near the top 'of a very high chimney, and Mr. Staining chose Myself and one :tames Colly to do it, as the most da ring of his men. About half a dozen of us went that morning with a hand cart, containing the necessary ropes, blocks, the kite, and dropped its line across the top of the chimney, we soon di`eW tip a rope at The end of Whieli was a block, through which ran the line whereby we Were to be drawn up. Cully had only been married fort night ; and as we stepped into the cradle, the men ban teri ney asked him if ho hadWt a last dying speech, to leave for his wife ; and then Kr. Sta . ming havin.: , shaken hands with us, and bid us be cool and steady, we were drawn slowly up.. It was known all over the town that the conductor was to be fixed, though as the day was not named, I did not expect we should have had so many spectators; but as we got higher, and the view opened under our feet, I saw that the streets were already thronged with starers. Cony Was very quiet, and when I waiv ed my cap to the people, he said snap pishly, that it Was no time for such folly, and that he thought I might think of better things than how. to. amuse those gaping fools; who, he dar ed say, desired no better fun than to see tis Meet with an accident I had cone tip in the best heart, thinking, indeed, nothing about the danger we incurred; but as we drew nearer and nearer to the top, and had nothing, as it - :seemed, belonging to -this world near to us but the strain ing rope, I began to see the peril of the undertaking. What Colly thOught of it, I don't' know- 7 --he sat at the bot tom of the cradle, never looking out, though I told him he would do better to keep his eyes about him, so thathe might grow used to the height. (wood Heaven ! what was this Here we were within a yard of the top projected coping, and Still they were winding away without slacking speed in the least i 'guessed -in amo- Ment that they mistook our height, and that with the great purchase of that windlass, the rope would be brok, en when the cradle came to the block. sprangl up, and catching the rope, climbed overhand to the coping.— Cooly too, sprang up and followed me. Re, too, got up safe ; and still they Went on windingup,. winding up, till the rope sung again with the strain there was upon it. Then it snapped, ancl cradle, haul ing -line, and the, main rope with its ',block, fell clown. Thus were we two pelbr men left in a most desperate sit tt ati on. Poor cony' , was completely crazed with affright; and the moment lie got on the coping, which was only a foot and'n half broad, he called out Where can =l pray? where can I kneel And pray ?" and so I said very - sol emnly : "Sit -down, Sem ; God will hear ns if. we pray to him sitting down." The color of hiSface was of 'a trails parent blue ; and it was. distorted and twitching, as if he was in a fit. His ,Cyes were very wild, and drawn into . a squint, and he couldn't sit steady, but swayed his body backward and forward, 80 that I felt a certain that he must topple over: "Come, Jem, ladrl said, thinldmr to take the fright off him; - "its bad traough, but it can be mended., Hitch up afbit and'pnt,yOur arm round the rod May;be it steady.you." PA.., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1850. "Where are you? and where is this rod ?" he asked, in a very hollow voice, though he was looking straight at me, and the. rod was only a foot or two to his left. By this I knew that he was gone blink with the fright, and self-perseveration Said—Don't go near him; hut then I reitierhbered his neW-Wedded wife, and that, taking him all through, he was a very de scent fellow; and - thought how I should have liked him to have done if I had been in his case; so I deter mined to run a bit. of a risk in his favor. Of course . i . durst net get on my feet ; but working myself on by my hands I got to him, and putting my arm round his waist, and felling him as cheerily as . I Could to keep cool, I got him withldS arm round the rod. It had, however, sprung the stapling for five 31 - i*,dOWn; and was. ' so loose thatit silVed With him, and I expected every minute to see him falling head andfheels clown, and the rod tearing away with him. There was a great bustle down be low; the people were rushing round the yard and pushing to get. in, but as yet there were but some score of men lit the foot 6f The chimney, and, by close looking, I saw them pia somebody on a hoard, and carry him gently away toward the engine-house. One of the 'men walked after him with a hat in his hand; then I knew that somebody must haVe 130 - en hurt by the falling cradle, and that it must' be poor Mr. Stamming, as none of our men Wore hats. I\Tot a face wasturn ed up to us. I learned afterwaßl that our men were so taken Up with sorrow that so good a man and kind ft master should be killed, that for a while they had never a thought about us; and the people outside imagined that we had come down with the era die, so thus we were left in total• iso lation for full tWentyininntes.. , • While I Was watching Iherii below, feeling'very sorry for poor inaster, I was.startled by a wild laugh from Golly, who began making cat-calls, and yelling as if he was possessed.— Then I knew, of course, that he had gone mad. :EVCII now I tremble when I think of that time; it was horrible to peer down the shaft, black and sooty and yawning, and scarcely less so to look outside and see a flight' of pigeons sweeping round at considerably less height than we were. Then Golly— thank God ! he was so dazed that he could not see nre-called my name three times, and I sat fairly cringing in dead that his . sight might clear, and with a ghastly grin, andehewing with his month, he began working himself toward me. I worked away from him as noise lessly as I could, with every hair of in head standing on end. He fol lovea rue twice round that 1101;rid co ping, ma king most hideous noises, and then being come a second time to the rod, he got an idea in his muddled head that I had fallen over, for he never lost a sense of where he was all through this trying time. Then he tried to get on hiS feet; but, at the risk of my own life, I could not let the poor fellow rush oireertain 'death without one more effort ; and I cried out for him to sit down, 'and Tae cow ered down like a whipped dog, all trembling. I suppose it had been put into his head that I was a dead man speaking to him. That morning my - wife had got a' letter from her sister in Canada, and as th ere It - ere parts we coialcl not make, I had put it in my poeltet, Intending to got our time-keeper to read it for me. It had a scrap of uncovered pa per at the bottom • and, by another good providence, I. happened to have a bit of red lead-pencil in fay pocket: I wrote on this paper," Get us down —Colly's gone mad;" this I Blurt in my tobacco-box, and was fortunate enough to drop just at the feet of a couple of men who were standing by the engine-house door.

INCIDENT' IN TILE LIFE OVA LOCQMO. TINE ENCINEEIL-IE returning from Philadelphia about the middle of Au-- crust 1858, the cars were very crowd- ' ed, Mid my 'sauce y companion in the ae l seat withme, 1 found out to be a Lo comotive Engineer, and in the course of our conversation he made the re-., mark, hoped he had run his last trip upon a Locomotive. Upon'.inaking . bOld to ask him' his reasons, he- gave me tbe following story, and since then r have fbund it to be strictly true "rive 'years': since I was runiiiii i g up on, the C. R. R My run xvas froM B to R—, It was the Lightning, Express Train, and it was what its name denotes, for it was fast---4 very fast run; and if I do Say it, the old Tornado could go. I have seen her -throw her six feet drivers so as to be almost invisible to the eye.— And let me here remark, it is suppos ed that rail-road engineers are a hard hearted -set..of men; -their lives are hard, 'tis true, but :I.do claim to ha.V.& as-flne:a feeling, and a heart that can sympathize with the unfortunate as any man that breathes. But to my story. About half a mile from the village of there is a nice little cottage but a,few feet from the track. At that 'time- a young married couple liv ed there. they had one child, a lit tle toy about four years old, as bright I blue eyed, curly-headed little chap as yon ever saw. I had taken a great deal Of interest in the little felloW and had thrown ,candy and oranges to him from the train, and I was sure to see him peeping through the fence when my train passed. "One fine sunny afternoon we were behind,time :end running fast. We did not stop at B.—and I was making up one hem- before :reaching B.—. 7e came tremendous. speed, and when sweeping around,,the curve, 'my eye folloWing the track, nob nVer two hundred feet ahead sat the little fellow playing with akitten, which he held in his lap. At the sound of our approach he looked and laughed, clapping his little hands in high glee at the affrighted kitten as it ran from the track. Quicker than lightning that blasts the tall pine upon the Menntain top, I whistled "down breaks," and reversed my engine, but I knew it was impossible to stop.— Nobly did that Old engine try to save him. The awful straining and writh leg of its iron drivers told but too plainly of the terrific velocity welted attained. I was out of the cabin win dow and down on the cow catcher in a flash. The little fellow stood still. I motioned him off and shouted, his •11.ktie I 'due eyes opened With tonishment, and a me'fry upon his lips. I held iny 'breath as we rushed upon him, I Made a do- 1 perate attempt to save him, but miss ed, and as his little body passed un der I heard the cry of "Mother!" and the forward t'iltek crushed him to at oms. Oh, God ! that moment! I may live, sir, to be an old man, but the agony of that moment can never be erased from my memory. The ears stopped some rodsfrom the spot, and 1 ran back as soon as possible. Ills moth er saw the train stop and a fearful foreboding flash upon her at once.— she came rushing frantically:to the spot where we stood. Never shall forget the look she gave. me affshe be held her first-born a shapeless . mass. I would have given my whole exis tence to have avoided that moment! I have seen death in all its forms up on the railroads. I have Seen women and children mangled and lsiaed—l have seen all this, but that little innocent bOy," Ira Oelted 'up at me—it unnerved me and froth that day I made a solemn vow never to run a locomotive any more. The young mother is now in the - Utica Lunatic Asylum. From the hour the boy was - killed reason had left its throne. Ile stopped and wiped the tears from his'eyes, and said, ."You may think it weak in life to shed tears, but "cannot help." "No," replied, "but think it noble ; and; sir, would to God every. man had a heart as large as yours." I have often thought sincyphow few are those who give one passing thought to the man of strong nerve and stont arm, who guides them through dark ness and storms with.the speed of the wind safely to their joUrney!s end.— They do not for a moment turn their attention to the iron Monste'r that is dragging them forward With fearful. velocity to mbet friends :Or relations or home and all its loved ones. They do . not realize that the man who guides the fiery monster -holds all their precious lives at his command, and that : the • least ne.gligenee upon his part would cause sorrow and mourning in. a- thousand homes that are now waiting the return of 66 ab sent loved one."
