Suddenly, and without the least apparent cause, I observed PerdiU lay back her ears, and turn her head to one side, with an in credibly vicions expression. 1 called out, hue Tom was engaged in admiring the moon, or a") me such lolly; and in an instant the Dare was in the air," Jightinj; tne reins with her feet, which she had pot entangled in some inttcplicable wav. The miracle was that we were not both of us huTlcd out backward by the violence of the jerk, bur, I had previouslvbeen holdiugron pretty tisht, and as for Tom, in anything to do with horses, he always sticks on with the tenacity of a leech. In a second Ferdita c.ime to the ground again, and then she be gan to plunse nnd kick, as if she were en gaged in a pitched battle with a rfaousand demons. I clung to the rail for dear life, but Tom jumped down from the box, and, alighting on his feet with that strange im munity from misfortune which seems to at tend bis reckless proceeding!:, he rushed to Perdita's bead. She instantly reared, actu ally raising Tom off his feet as he lield on to the" bridle, and for an instant X thought it was all un wish us both, for she made as if she would dash up against the wall. But Tom held the driving whip clubbed inhis hand, and. as slve was in the act of rearing, he brought it down with all his force be tween her ears. The blow was enough to have stunned a rhinoceros, and when she came down again she was coraparatively manageable. In a lew minutes she was quite subdued by Tom's strong hand and steady soothing voice, and stood quiet and trembling in the middle of the road. 2sow that it was practicable without dan ger to life and limb, I sprang ou: of the car and hurried to my friend's side. He turned his he&d ronnd, and I saw his f.ice lull in tne bright moonlight. Hif handsome feat ures always gave the impression of strength and daring, and now he looked cool and col lected as ever, but a look of vexation and annovance crossed his face as he pulled out his watch aud peered anxiously into its sil ver face. "I say. Jack," he said, with an intensity of disappointment, lor which I could hardly account, "I am alraid we are done for now. After this confounded delay we have not a chance of catching the train. "Whit is to be done?" "Never mind," I replied mechanically; for the tact was, I wa so uncommonly glad to be delivered iroiu the very dangerous po sition in which I had found mysel: a lew minutes ago, that I was hardly capable of taking in anv other sensation than that of unmitigated joy and thanksgiving. But it was ln'muh an extremely awkward predicament to be placed lc. My leave had been reluctantly prolonged by a not too amiable Colonel, and in order not to miss the hall I had urgently written to request a further extension on the plea of pressing family business. This again had been snjppishly granted, but the concession was .coupled with a strict injunction to report myself without fail on board Her Majesty's ship the Exidoder before mid-day on the day sifter the ball. The ship would leave the harbor that afternoon, and if I missed this train, not only should I incur the n rath of my implacable senior officer, but my regiment would actually sail without me, at.d I, to my everlasting shame and disgrace, should he left, behind. Where would, then be all my dreams of fame and glory? And what infamous re port might not reach the ears of the adora ble Eva? At this thought my cheeks glowed, aud I f.-lt almost ready to mount once more to the post of danger upon the box. But first I glanced snspiciously at Perdita. She was standing with heaving flanks and smoking sides apparently quite quiet But tne deep snorting breath that curled up into the night air from her dilated nostrils told a different tale, and when she arched tier neck and turned her small shapely head toward me, and I met the nellish light that glared from her cyis, I shuddered at the bare idea of trusting mvseit to her tender mercies again. She did. indeed, lookas if she might be the embodiment ot some lost spirit, sent by the Evil One to perform its work of tnis chiet and destruction upon earth. Tet I could not help admiring her beauty as she stood there the jet-black creature, like some shy wild beast of prey, with lithe and active limbs end supple, cat-like movements. After all the thought of returning to the peaceful liic aud the dear girl I was leaving behind me was temptingly sweet, especially when contrasted with that ominously named fessel the Exploder, and the uerilous career that lay be ore me. Told, as I should know how to tell it, the adventure I had already gone through would sound a sufficient excuse to Eva's tender ears. The finger of fate seemed to be inexorably pointing that way, and I began to see plainly that it might be my duty to obey, nnd resign myself to the dispensations ot Providence. But Tom had never been blessed with a re signed disposition. He interrupted me in the midst of a pleasing reverie by an abrupt exclamation: "We may do it yet! I know of a short cut that will save at least two miles, and it is worth the risk. You shall not miss your ship if I can help it, old fellow. In with you!" He had jumped up already and grasped the reins. "You don't expect me to go risking my life behind that fiend incarnate again, my dear boy!" 1 remonstrated. But Tom has that kind of tvraunical, domineering man ner which overrides a more refined and cul tured nature. "iContease!" he replied authoritatively. "Can you not see that the mare is as quiet as a lamb? The veriest coward would not be a'rairi of her now. Get in; there is not a moment to lose." This brutal remark (confound the fellow, what did he mean by insinuating that I was a coward?) put me on my mettle, and with a heavy heatt I climbed up in my place. We drove on at a more moderate pace, un til we came to a gate which led into a flat pasture field. Here Tom alighted, and forcing open the gate, led the horse and trap into the held. I knew remonstrance was useless; but I made up my mind that I would not let an opportunity pass without giving Tom a word of warning about his reckless ways On the smooth turf the mare seemed pretty quiet, and, with Tom leading her, I felt lairly safe; so, without letting go my hold ol the irou rail, I leaned forward and spoke to Tom very seriously about the ioolhardi ues nay, the actual wrong-doing o' keep ing such dangerous and vicious animals. "You know, my dear fllow," I concluded, "it is not as il it were your own life that is at stake. Think nf the risks to which you expose your lri'tids. Xoir, why not sell thee horrid brutes, and purchase a hand some, steady pair like ours at home? It would be so much more satisfactory Hallo! Take care! Take care! Por heaven's sake, Tom, look out what you are doing!" He was flicking the whin about in a care less kind ot way, and the mare was already beginning to datice uneasily. "Well," replied Tom, laconically, with out paying any attention to my well founded alarm, "the fact of the matter is that I haven't a particular fancy lor in vesting in a p iir of old cows like yours." Alter this outrageous insult to our re spectable and justly valued cobs, I had no other resources but to maintain the digni fied attitude of silent contempt. A least I would have maintained it, but that an alarming incident now happened which obliged me to speak. We had crossed the 5eld, and, on passing through a gateway much like the first, I now observed with surprise that we had reached the line of the railway. There was no proper crossing, and on the other side the ground lell away in a steep embank ment, so that no way across seemed possible. An uncomfortable foreboding :atue over me, yet I was .not prepared for the extraordinary rashness that Tom vas contemplating. Turning Perdita's head in the direction of the station, be gath ered the reins deltly into one hand, sprang lightly into bis seat by my side and began urging the mare along the line as last as her tired limbs would go. I clutched at his sleeve in agony. "Tom, this is madness!" I gasped. "I beseech you to listen to reason, and turn back before it is too late! Kerer mind about my missing the ship." "I do mind." replied Tom, shortly. "What is that in comparison with our lives!" I cried, drrren desperate by this re volting callousness. "Just think what may happen! If the mare should take friglit and upset us down that embankment! if the traiu should overtikeus! Great heavens, it may be due now!" I stopped to drag out my watch. "Hot yet," answered Tom calmly. "Of course it will be touch and go, but I think we shall just do it. The great thing is to keep cool." Cool! with my brain on fire, tnd my senses reeling under the strain. JT could not make out the time by my watch, and I held it to my car to sec if it was going. Itbad stopped. I ask Tom to let me see his and I remember how hoarse and unnatural mv voice sounded. "It is not much use consulting my watch when it is a question ot minutes like this," remarked Tom philosophically. "I never know exactly whether it will be 10 minutes slow, or 10 minutes fast. It has always been slightly uncertain in its time since it once fell into the river. I am constantly oiling the works, and doctoring it in "different ways, but nothing seems to have a good effect." X groaned aloud. What a position to be in! The train might come up at any mo ment; and even if we had time to escape that peril, there seemed little likelihood that the demon Perdita would ever reach the station without shying at some obstacle and upsetting us on the way. Every telegraph post we passed was a danger, and I shud dered as I looked down the precipitous earthen banks, which now sloped more and more steeper from both sides of the line, nnd I trembled as I saw black, slimy water gleaming through the flags and rushes at the bottom. One more effort I made to dis suade Tom from his mad attempt. I begged and implored, I entreated with all the elo quence in my power. I almost commanded him to turn back and give it up. I might as well have addressed myself to Perdita herself. At last in my earnestness I caught hold of his arm and laid my hand on the reins. Anything to put an end to this awful risk. Then Tom turned upon me with an expression which struck terror to my heart. His lace was grave and set, and the line of his mouth was like-iron. "Look here, old man," he said grimly, "so long as there was no occasion for it, you kept on exhorting me to attend to the reins; but now that everything depends upon care lul driving, you seem determined to do your best to distract me. I tell you it would be no use turning back now, lor we should only meet the train. You had much better keep quiet, for if you persist in bothering like this, I won't answer for the con sequences." This speech increased my alarm tenfold. a?or if Tom, who was the most reckless fel low under the sun, thought so seriously of it, the danger must indeed be close and pressing. I saw that it was as much as he could do to keep the flagging mare in the middle of the track so as to prevent the wheels of the degcirt catching against the sleepers on either side, and I dared not m speak to him again. I watched him anxiously, however, and sat still by his side, consumed with anxiety, which grew more and more intense every moment. Our pace had slackened con siderably, but we were still keeping up a fast trot, and were getting over the ground very quickly. A mile sped by a mile and a half there was only a half a mil: further to the station. Surely we should reach the goal in safety. Kever had my nerves been strung to such a pitch ot excitement. I hardly dared to take my eyes off the mare, and yet the scene we passed through was forever burned in upon my memory. Meadow and cornfield lay steeped in the flood of light below the embankment, and beyond a little brook the dusky woods stent in the moonlight. The silence of the night was only broken by the low ripple ot the stream, and the faint moau of the breeze against the telegraph wires. On either side of us was this scene of quiet and peaceful beauty; before us stretched the desolate rail way track, a single line, with the ugly precipice on either side; behind ah! what was behind us? Husbl what was that sound in the far distance? Good God! was it the rush of the approaching train? I turned to listen. I could see nothing. Xo, nor was there any sound to be heard nothing but the mad beat of my own heart, and the convulsive throbbing in my temples. But as I began to breathe again, Tom turned sharply round. His lips were pressed firmly together, and his eyes bad a strange, fixed stare under his frowning brows. "Listen!" he said hoarsely. Aud then I heard it again, and more dis tinctly than before that horrible low rumble aud roar in the distance. The train was coming, and would be upon us in a few minutes. Tom settled himself firmly in his seat and looked steadily for ward. "We shall do it yet!" he said between his teeth; and with whip and rein and voice he urged the jaded mare onward. She galloped on a few minutes, till she. too, heard the ominous sound. She reared up her bead as she heard it, and I saw her prick forward her ears, as she snuffed the air with dilated nostrils. Then with her ears laid back, she stopped short. She stood as if at bay, with her fore feet planted well in front of her, and nothing we could do would make her stir from the spot. In vain Tom persuaded aud coaxed, lashed aud flogged. "It's all up if she has taken to jibbing," ne crieu, in a voice ot despair. Nearer and nearer came the rushing train; louder and louder sounded the roar of doom in our ears. And that she-devil Perdita still stood immovable. It was horriblel horrible! I hope I am not a coward, and 1 don't think I should mind being killed in battle; but to die like that! butchered by the caprice of a vicious beast, it was too hor rible! There was no way ol escape for the horse and trap, and Tom was just the kind of obstinate lellow to stick to a favorite horse, even though it cost hiui his li.e. But was I to sit still and be murdered on that account? No! that was too unreasonable. I Ciambered down from the dogcart, and rushed to the side ot the line, calling to my Irieud to follow. Here, holding on to a tele graph post, I felt tolerably safe. Hut Tom would not leave Perdita to the fate she so richly deserved. Sitting up there on the high seat, with certain destruction thundering down upon him from behind, he tried every effort of force and persuasion. The train was within oO yards ol the spot. The white puffs of smoke floated into the night air as the engine drew her deep sobbing breaths; I could see the glow of her fires and the hissing jets cf steam she was quite close before Tom at last jumped down. Even at this last moment he could not find it in his heart to desert Perdita. She was standing in the attitude of backing, with her forefeet stretched before her, as il glued to the spot, aud her eyes were full of glaring flame, but she trembled all over, and every musile was quivering with terror. Tom rushed to her head and tried to drag her by main force off the line, but she reared and backed, and he was nearly thrown down by the violence of her kick;. Then, with a desperate effort, he raised the whip high above bis head, and brought the lash down with cruel force across her eyes. "You shall not die so!" he swore. The train was upon them, but at the blow Perdita leaped up with the spring ot a panther. There was a shout a cry and a sickening crash; but the line was clear, and the train passed on iu safety. A deadly faintuess came over me, as the train swept past with a rush aud a roar; I closed my eyes, and but lor the support of the post I should have fallen. When I opened my eyes to look for Tom, it was with a sickening dread lest I should see his dead body lying mangled on the rails. But no! There was his tall, strong figure, standing upright close by me. He stood with folded arms on the edge of the track, gazing down the embankment. There at the bottom lay a shapeless mass. It was perfectly motionless. The dogcart was smashed to pieces, aud Perdita was dead. The tram had stopped a little distance off, nnd the engine driver, who had seen the accident, and whose shout I had heard, came runuing toward us to inquire what bad hap pened. Being au Irishman, he was full of sympathy and commiseration, and he poured out profuse lamentations. But Tom bardly seemed to hear him. Turning abruptly to me, he said, almost fiercely: "You need not miss the train,, after all- THE. Poor Perdita lias clone her work, you see. "Why don't you go?" " And himself taking up niy portmanteau, which had fallen from the trap be ore its headlong descent and lav uninjured close to the line, he rushed after the departing en gine driver, and hurried me into the train.. : I arriveil in Cork in time to escape a reprimand from my chief, and in due time we steamed for the East.. It is not so very long since Her Majesty's ships, the Dis aster, the Exploder, and "the Blunderer.were sent out ou their threatening mission, and everyone remembers how ignominiously those threats bad to bo withdrawn. There is no need to recount that disgraceful story over again. We wasted several months under a burning sun, and having encoun tered no other foes but pestilence and priva tion, were called back again without anv honor, fame or glory. Still, disheartened and disappointed though I was (for I have always longed to prove my braverr, and never had the chance of doing so), I thought I would nevertheless seek out my sweet Eva, and tell her that had any laurels and honors been mine, I would have laid them at her feet. Accordingly, one stormy night in Febru ary I secured a berth in one of the North Wall steamers (which are considered the safest), and crossed from Holyhead to Dub lin. Over the horrors of that passage I will not linger. Suffice it to sav that the Bay of Biscay is nothing to it; and I think I ought to know. Cold, weary and sick, and gen erally miserable, I reached dry land at last, and arrived in Dublin'in the dismay gray dawn of a winter's morning. I took the train at once, and, alter several hours' traveling, reached the house ol my friend. looking, I dare say, a jiniserable object enough. Tom, who" was looking particu larly prosperous and liandsome, received mc with the utmost cordiality, and, under the influence of his cheerful hospitality, I brightened up a little. "By the way," he observed, when he had established me in an arm chair in front of a roaring fire, and offered me every con ceivable beverage under the sun, "1 must go aud tell my wife to hurry up, luncheon. You will be glad of something solid, old fellow, after all vou have gone through." "Your wiiel"' I exclaimed, "Why, I never knew jou were married." "Oh dear, yes! We have been married four months. You remember Eva Marsac? Oh! 1 forgot! You were rather sweet upon her at one time, were you not?" I was speechless. This blow was too much. The malicious fellow continued, with a wicked twinkle in his eyes: "If I recoiled rightly, i was rather glad when the time for your departure came. I determined that it should not be put off on any account. We had the narrowest escape of missing the train that I ever knew, though! By Jove! that was a near shave!" "Did you tell Eva Miss Marsac?" I stammered. "Oh, yes; I should think so! All's fair in love and war, you know! How she did laugb, to be sure, when I described to her tne blue funk you were in at Perdita's an tics all the way. Poor irerditar' And here Tom sighed. He had some feeling for a vicious brule, it appeared, though he bad none for his friend. Prientit I was his iriend no longer! But I resolved not to betray myself, so I bottled up my feelings. I restrained myself even when Eva came in, looking more lovely than ever, aud that traitorous scoundrel put his arm round her and introduced her with a provokiDg siuile as "Mrs. Coventry." I stayed to luncheon, and was a witness of his undeserved happiness for several hours. But at the earliest possible oppor tunity I framed an excuse for getting away, and, steadfastly refusing all Tom's offers ot a conveyance, I drove to the station in a rickety market car, drawn by a peaceful looking hack, which I hired in the village. As I mounted this unaristocratic, but safe, turnout, Tom stood in the doorway with Eva to see the start. His parting words before we jogged down the drive were not of au encouraging nature. "By the by," he said carelessly, "old Mur phy Flanagan has somehow got it into his head that you are to blame for poor Per dita's sad end. I told you, didn't 1, about poor Micky, and how he loved the creature? The old man was devoted to the mare, for his son's sake; and he has been Towing ven geance against ybu ever since her death." "You don't say so!" I exclaimed, heartily wishing that I had never returned to the country of such an irrational people. Tom laughed, as if he found something amusing in the matter. "He has been threatening all sorts of re venge, and he swears that it will be a had day for you if ever he catches you-. So per haps it is just as well that be should not have the chance; in this short time I should think he will hardly have got wind of your being here. Well, if you must go, goodby. Make haste back to Ireland again!" But all ray energies were bent upon has tening out of Ireland as fast as possible, and Pfelt no inclination to respond to Tom's in vitation. After his alarming disclosures, it may be imagined that once more' I had a drive to the station that was anything but a pleasant ordeal. I dreaded at every turn lest some murderous Irish ciit-thrnats'should be lying in wait in the shelter "f-a hedge, ready to fire at me as I passed, or should drop upon me from behind a wall, and I was haunted by a tormeuliug suspicion that my driver might possibly be an accomplice in the plot, l was tlianKiui when I reached the station in safety and found myself in the train speeding toward Dublin, and I was more tbaukiul still when I gazed from the decks of the steamer on the lust receding coasts of the Emerald Isle. Since then there has never been any occa sion for my risking my life in that dangerous and barbarous country, and the reader may rest assured that I am not likely ever to set foot unon its inhospitable shores' again.

ABBOTT'S SKETCH OP ELIJAH. A Mots to Enconrage Bible Slndy in the Original Jiaiignajje. GLEANINGS FROM CHUKCH FIEliDS Ljman Abbott on Elijah. The Sunday school lesson forto-morrow's study is "Elijah at Horeb." Lyman Abbott takes a different View of the lesson than that of scripture expositors generally. Here is a part of what he .has to say on the lessou, and will no doubt be startling to many Sunday school teachers: Elijah was a man of Puritan mold, an Ironsides before the time of Cromwell's Ironsides. He looked upon Baal and Baal worship with an enmity only faintly re flected In the hatred which Cromwell and his soldiers entertained toward the Boman Catholics of Ireland. He might have said, in the words of the later Hebrew p.ialmist, "I hate them with a perfect hatred." When, therefore, at Mount Carmel the fire answered his prayer, and his sacrifice was consumed, and the whole populace, with one of those sudden revulsions of feeling common to democracies, proclaimed Jehovah alone to be God, Elijah thought that his time had come to extirpate idolatry by one sudden and sharp blow. Without authority either from the law of the land, which, though it condemned idolatry as a capital offense, conferred no authority upon any prophet to execute capital punishment without judicial proceedings; without au thority from God, who had not commis sioned him to be the executant of divine wrath which, indeed, man is never compe tent to execute, since man comprehends not that intermingling of pity and wrath, which constitutes mercy without, therefore, au thority either from God or man, Elijah called upon the people to put to death the 400 priests of Baal, who had come hither, not to be tried and executed, and who were, indeed, under a kind of implied sale con duct from the King. The populace followed the prophet's demands. The waters of the brook Kishon ran red with the blood of priests, some of whom may have been im postors, many of whom undoubtedly were themselves the victims of imposture. The wind and the rain followed. The drought was broken and the land refreshed, and Elijah thought that the kingdom of Baal had come to an end and the kingdom of God was immediately to be established. Instead, he received from Jezebel, the masculine Lady Macbeth of the weak and wicked Ahab, who let "I dare not wait upon I would," a message that hisownlifeshould on the morrow pay for the lives of her prophets slain at his command. The popu lar enthusiasm expired as suddenly as it had burst into action. He was without a defender, so far as he knew almost without a sympathizer or a friend. Nowhere in the. land had he a refuge left for him. He flees into the wilderness, and, in the'discourage ment which comes over him, deserted bv man and reproved by his own conscience lor his zeal without knowledge, conlesses his fault. "I am not better than my fathers," he cries, and prays that he may die. Sunday School Primary Teaching.

No attempt was made at speeding the ship. Theguns were tested singly and broad-side-on, and the ship did not appear to feel the effect from concussion. In firing broad side guns, four of the vertical shields were) , slightly cracked and two logs on the two gun out-csrriagps broke off. kvwmhw Betttr than Tea and Coffee for th Nerves.
