LED OUT - OF DANGEIL
BY Jr.v..c I:GELOW
Who is this? A careless little tuid-•
Shipman, idling abont - in a great city,
with hiS pockets full of money. He
is waiting for the coach; it comes up
presently. And, he goes on top of it,
and begins to look about him.
• The coach stops; the midshipman,
with his hands . in his- pockets, sits
rattling his Inouey and singing.
There is a poor woman standing by
the door of the village inn; she looks
care-worn, and well she may, for in
the spring her husband went up to
London to seek fur work. He goes
for work, and sbe was expecting soon
to join him there, when, alas! a fel
low workman wrote her wOrd how he
had met with an accident, how he was,
very bad, and wanted his wife to come
and nurse him. Bat as she has two
children and is destitute, she must
walk all the way, and semis sick, at
heart when she *thinks that perhaps
he may die among st:angers before
she can reach him.
She does not think.of begging, but,
seeing the boy's eyes - attracted to her,
she makes a courtesy, and ho with
draws his hand and throws her down
a sgvereign. She looks at it with in
crulous joy, and then looks at him.
" iys all right," he says, a'.d the
coachistarts again, while, full of grat
itude,'she hires a cart to take her
across the coatry to the railway,
that the , next night she may sit at the
bedside of her sick-hustiand.
The midshipman„, knows notion'
about that--and he never mill know.
The passengers go on talking—the
little midshipman as told them'who
he is, and where ho is going. - Bat
there is one who has never joined in
the. onversation; he is a dark-look
ing and restless man—he sits apart,
he sees the glitter of the falling coin.
and now he watches the boy more
closely than ho did before.
He is a strong Man, resolute and
determined; the boy with his pock
etsffull of money will bo no match
for liim. Ha has told the other that
his father's house is in the parsonage
at Y—, the coach goes within five
Inilvs of it, and ho means to got out
at. 11:o nearezit point, and walk, or
rather ran ov,:r to his homo' through
the great wood. •
Thu luan_decide.:7 to get dc::7,7n, too,
and go through tb ! 7: wood; he will rob
the little perhaps, if he
.ciies out and strn. , ;,';les, he will do
WOr6G. The he-thinks, will have
no'ehanco aw.inst him; it, in quite
impossible that he can escape; the
way is lotely, and the sun will be
down..
No. There seems indeed little
chance of his escape; the half-fledged
bird, just 11nttered down
_from its
nest, has no inure chance against the
keen-eyed hawk than the little; light
hearted sailor boy will have against
him: •
-And now they have reached the
village where the boy is to alight;' Ho
wishes the other passengers "Good
evening!" and runs lightly down-be
tween the scattered houses. The man
has also got down, and is following.
:The path lies -through the village
churchyard; there is evening service,
and the door is wide open, for it 'is
warin. Thelittlo midshipman steals
up the porch, looks in and listens.
The clergyman has just risen from
his knees in the pulpit, and is giving
out Ilia text. ~Thirteen months - have.
passed 'since the boy was in the house
of prayer; and a feeling of pleasure
_induced him to stand still and listen.

the sermon; and then ho remembers

for us; he'remembers how, when he
left home, his bather prayed that' hh
"might be preserved - through every
danger; he does not remember any
particular dangex that ho hue been
exposed to, except in the great storm;
but he is - grateful that he 'has come
"home in safety, which he supposealo
will-be some day, that then the provi
dence of God will watch over and
protect him. And so he presses, on
ward to the entrance of the wood.
The man is theta before him. He
has pnahed himself into the thicket,
and cut a heavy stake; he suffers the
boy to go on before, and then comes
out, falls into the path, and fellows.
It iatoo light at present for his deed
of darkness, and too near the en
trance of the wood, but he knows
tlmt.shortly the , p athill branch o ff

boy to take will bek and lonely.
But what prompts the little mid
shipman, when not fifty rods from .
the branching ` path , to break into 'a
sudden run? It is not fear—he nev
er dreams of danger. Some sudden
impulse, or some wild wish for home,
makes him dash out suddenly: after
his saunter, with a whoop and a
bound: On he goes as if tanning a
race; tho path bends, and the Mao
loses sight of him. " But I shall hare
him yet," he thihks; "he cannot keep
up that race, lon." The boy has
nearly reached the place *here the
path divides, when be starts
.up a
white owl, that, can scarcely fly as he
goes whirling along close to the
mound before hint. He gains upon
it; another moment and it will, be
his. Now he gets the start again;
they come to thebranching of the
path, and the bird goes down the
wrong one. The temptation to fol
low it is too strong to be resisted; he
knows that somewhere, deep in the
woods, there is across track by which
he cauNget into the track ho has left;
it is only to run 'a little faster, and he
shall be home nearly as soon.

On ho rushes; the path takes a

his pursuer conies where the paths

the path gets darker and narrow; at .

the trees and stumps, vexed with him
self, and panting after hiti race. At
last ho is npOn antipik track, And
-pushes on as -fast as ho can. The
ground. begins sensibly, to .descend;
he has lost his way—but ho keeps
bearing on to the .left;, and though
it is now dark, he thinks ho must,
reach the Main path sooner or later.
Ho does not know this part of the
wcOd, but runs on. Oh, little mid.:
shipraau! Why did you chase that
owl? If you had kept the path with
the dark man behind you; there was
a chance that you might outrun Mtn;
or, if he had overtaken. you, some
passing wayfarer might hate heard
your cries, and , conic to save you.
Now you are running straight on to
death, for the forest waters are deep
and bla`pk at the foot of the hill. Oh,
that the moon would come out and
show it:to you!
. The moon is under a thick canopy
of heavy black clouds; and there is
not a star to glitter on the water and
make it visible: The fern under

the- gaping hill. At last be strikes
against a stone % stumbles , ' and falls.
Two minutes more, and he will fall
into the black Water. • •

this? Oh; how it tears my hands!!

I'll never stray aWay in n wood at

With a good deal of patience, and
a grest 'many scratch's,. he gets free
of the thorn which had arrested his

a yard of the water, Manages to
scramble to the bank, and makes the

All this time the dark passe

that the boy is before him. At last
ho hears a mashing of dead boughs,
and presently the little Midshipman's
voice fifty yards before him. Yes, it
is true; the boy is on the cross track.
Ho will pass the cottage in the ;wood
directly, and after that
i tis pursuer
will come upon him.

Fast and faster the man runs after

It is very dark, but there js a 'yel

grey clouds, uttd one or two stars are

him. ' He pushes himself into the
thicket, and raises his stake road y
when the boy shall pass. -
On he comes, running lightly; with
his hands in his pocket- A sound
strikes, at once the ears of both, and
the boy turns back from the very jaws
of death to listen- It is the sound of.
wheels, and it draws ' , rapidly nearer.
A man combs up*, driving, a grn. "Ifil

.voice. "What, benighted young

" Oh, yon, Mr. D-----?" says
the boy." No, I'm not benighted;

"I don't mind that, and if you know

So he gets into the farmer'i • gig,
and - is once more out of the reach of
the pursuer.
But the man knows that the farm
er's house is a quarter of a mile near
er-than the parsonage, and in that
quarter of a mlle there is still a chance
of comipitting robbery. He deter

the midshipman, as ho prepares :to

" Good night, friend:lh° tamer
replies.
- " say, my boy, it's a dark night
enough; bit I bare a mind to drive
you on to the parsonage, and hear
the rest of this long tale of years
about the sea serpent."-
The little wheels goon again. They
pass the man, 'and, he stands still in
the road to listen till the sod-died
away._ Then he flings his stake into
the hedge and goes 'Welt again. His
evil purposes bare all been frustrated
—the thoughtless boy his baffled hits
at every step.
And now the little midshipman is
at borne; the joyful meeting has ta
ken place; and ,whei they have all
admired his g rowth ; , and decided
whim be is like, and measured his
height on the window, frame, and
seen him eat, his supper, they began
to question him about his adven
tures, more for the pleasure of bear
ing him talk than from any curiosity.
." Adventures !7 said the boy, seat
ed between his father and mother en
a sofa. " Why, ma, I did write you
an account of.the voyage, and there's
nothing else to tell. Nothing hap
pened to-day, or at least nothing par
ticular.",
' "You T mo by .Lc-coat'.:. we, told
yon of ?"
"Oh, yes, papa; and when we got
about twenty Wiles there came up-'a
beggar, while we .' Were changing
horses,' and I .threw down (as I
thought) a shilling, but as it kW I
saw it was a soveteigu. She was very
honest, and shofed me what it was,
but I didn't take it back, .for you
know, mamma, it is a long time since
I gave anything to anybodt!!
" Very true, my boy!' his ,mother
answered;_'' but you should not be
careless with . your mon y, and few
beggars are worthy objet of charity."
" I suppose , you got down at the
cross roads?'_'• said his, elder brother.
"Yes, and went through the*i;roods.
I ,should have been here sooner, if . I
hadn't lost my way there."
" Lost ybnr way !" said the. moth
er, alarmed; "my dear boy,, you
should not have left the path after
dusk:"
" Ob, ma,"• said the little inidshii)-
man with a smile, " you are always
thinking of -danger. If you could see
nie sometimes sitting at the jib-boom.
end, or across the luaintopmaa cross-
trees, on would be frightened. But
what danger can there be in a wood?"
" my dear boy," she answers,
" I don't want to be over-anxious,
and make my children uncomforta
ble byiny fears, What did you stray
from the path for,"
" Only. to catch s little owl, mam

path, and asked at the cottage for
some milk. What a long time the
woman kept me, to be swe. I thought
it would never come. Bat, very soon
after, Mr. drove up in MI gig
and brought me on to the gate."
" And so this account of your - ad

his father says, "we disciover there
are no adventures to tell."
" No, papa, ,nothing hatpened—

Nothing.particuar. If they could

of kb-boom's end and the maintop

the timely and, generous assurance of
partial relief, with the honorable ful

company, contributed in no small de-

the impending famine,und brighten
hag many a gloomy fireside chilled
with the penury of ill-requited, tho'
honest toil. With this eventful peri
od still-fresh in our minds, it might
not be uniubmitith:4l to recount a
(menet visit:to the coal property,
..of
the E. R." It Co., .with a cursory
glance at the same. . •
Referring to $ map of Pennsylva
nia, near the Notih-eastern part of
the old Keyetone State, at a parallel
of 42 degs. of latitude, we see Brad
ford county, near whose - centre, on
the banks of - the yoetie Busqueluin
no, is the, entesprisuig town of To
wanda, tram which, taking the 7 i.lll.
train for Barclay, after a ride of some
live miles to Greenwood, we wai
n:team to rise on an up grade. of Bey
enty er eighty feet totw irai p/mil until
we reach the foot of inotui=
bin,- some sixteen miles from Towan
da. Here,; under the shadow of this
beetle-brewed eminence, of 4 4
its mineral wealth and extensive beds
of coal, one cairluirdli fail to be im

ificent ' law of compensation,
which regulates the economy of nii;-
trire in the distribution of her mate
rial resources, so'that_as rapidly as
one provision fails, another opentlp
from the exhaustless storehouse a
further supply for the wants of 'civi-
lization. Our huge forests swept
away in the advance of - agriCkulture
and commercial requirements, are
here replaced by endless stores . of
fossil. fuel ; what we lose

by the reystrrions workingsvof that

/Persons at all nervous should by
all means walk np the mountain by
a safe though circuitous road some
two miles in extent ; but the lortu
nate.possessor of sin itccidental poli
cy with the willingness to brave, all
mishaps, can climb these empty coal
cars and ride up in the plane a half
mile or more-at an angle of 50 or GO
degrees. - Those heavily laden coal
cars' We have just met . descending
midway the plane - are-drawing . us ;up
by the-aid of the long wire cable at
tached to both.. The cable has paxt
ed a great number of times, and the
Cars generally have broken to atoins
before reaching the bottom, but no
tr ,
lives have been lost. If hear
anything snap, jump qui . without
stopping for an cxo.ana on. At the
" top " we get sou thik Empty train,
and ride a mile to the mines. Those
long rows - of whitewa.shedhonses and
shanties are whore. the miners live.
The first church you see , is a .Ronian

Those little neat "balloon frame "
.stnictures 'contain • at night, from
three
.or 'four to twenty or thirty
souls. The Erie IL R. co., ..which
owns these mines, is constantly
building dwelling-houses, but the
supply dins not 'keep up with • the
demand; . yet in lees than s year it is
to be hoped the accommodations will
be sufficient.
We aro now at the " Shute," a huge
frame structure seventy or eighty
feet high, firm the top of which the
Coal is dumped from the Cars as they
come-up out' of the mines, down this
long inclined plane into the " pock
ets "ready to' load, the empty train
which we have just left. Climbing
these stairs at the side of the 'Wrote * "
we stop It each "guard," so as not
to be hit by a stray lump of coal that
might dash over the side , of - the
chute as it rushes down into the
pockets below. !teaching' the tap,
we stop at the weigh-houses and find
that this little car," just out
of the pit; contains about one ton of
coal, which. is registered as soon as
it - is dumped. We see the " dinaper,"
reaching into the car, bring out A
little brass check which hangs on a
hook. This check contain a num
ber which4esignates the mniei\who
has just sent out the , load, and he is
credited accordingly., If hied coal is
free from slate or bone, he - is allowed
full weight; otherwise ho is docked,

of bittiminous coal we find a stratum

be removed before the coal can be

But it is no* noon, and'as *con
tents of these plethoric dinner-canS
are being discussed, we will 'make
some inquiries of these miners 'as to
their labor, etc, We find they receive
from sixty-five to eightrfive cents a
lon for mining the coal, with due al
lowance forthe location' and atten
dant difficulties; they provide their
own Powder and tools, and can earn
from three to four dollars per day;
but during the rebellion they easily
increased these_wages three-fold. 4
very large pregortion of these men
are Scotch,' followed. by •
and Welsh, for very rarely do we
find an American miner. The ma
jority of these miners Immreenee to
or in the mines at the early age of
ten and twelve years, going in with
their parents, assisting the loading
of cars, driving the mules or tending
the doors used, for exciting . currents
of air for the purpose of ventilation.
Occasionally we find a miner between
fifty and sixty years of age stilrat his
postidelvingwith unabated activity,
but the majority are. largely under
thirty-five yaws- of age; their daily.
round of labor is necessarily arduous
and monotonous, and the damp; dusty;
laden air they inhale contributes not
little to undermine and soon break
down the most vigorous, though the
sanitary regulations and provisions
are ample and salutary to the fullest
extent. One instance was here re
lated of an old miner . seventy-four
years of age dropping down dead in
the mine with his pick in his hand.
They purchase none but the vorybest
of 'staplerovisions, and are - indeed
fastidiously particular in their- selec
tion of these commodities.
They are generally honest,paY them
debts promptly, and are always , ready
to relieve plt - others' misfortunes.
They .are paid monthly, and no "pay
night," passes without a liberal. con
tributionlor some benevolent object,
