TEN TERRIBLE , MINUTES
One November evening a few years
ago. I. had occasion to travel from
Cannon street to . Spa road - . station,
on the Southeastern Railway. It had
been a cold, fuggy day thl•oughout,
and there were comparatively fe►p
passengers. The compartment which
I entered—a second-class—had 'but
one previous occupant, a stoutly-built
Man. of thirty-II ve or forty. lie wa s
attempting. with evidently small
,sue
cess, to read a book, and he fidgeted
.about• on his seat rather a testy
fashion. .
having a.doubt as to the regulari
ty of trains •on such an - evening
said, I suppose this stops - at Spa'
road ?7"
•
,
" Spa roadl Of course it does,"
said this gentjeman,oll what I eon
„sidered unnecessary vehemence. "A.ll
these trains stop at Spa road.” • •
"Don't thank me, sir," lie- said, a
moment later.' - "I only answered a
simple question—a fool or - madman
could do that."
Here the ' train Slowly moved off,
and the speaker, whose . face I had
not yet seen, resumed .his - efforts to
read, muttering, now and again an:
imprecation at the xi ! e . lisp of the fog
and theThold. :
Men We reached the glas.-kdOme
of .. the Borough Market: the Itain
came to a stop, and for the first, time
I found myself in a position to ob
tain a good view of my fellow passen
ger. Hitherto he had obstinately.
kept his back - or shoulders towareis
me. Now he threw his volume down'
on the seat aid-faced about. Ile was,
as I have said, a man in the full7prime
of life. Rather over the aVerage
height, he ;had the broad shoulders,
' f fidl chest, and . nervous hands•of :.n
:athlete. The impression which his
features produced was decidedly un
pleasant.. Yet save for . the •cycs,
which had a peculiar and indescriba
ble glare in them, the face %fa; not
an unhandsome one.
" I did not 'know that we were, so
near the Crystal Palace," he, said
brusquely. *. .. • •. - :-.
" The Crystal Palace!" I said, in
some surprise. "We - are not' near
the Crystal, Palace." ----f . • -
" The fog has affecced your eye
sight, tiny fiend," was the, reply.
"Trouble yourself to look out of this
window." . ...
" Oh, that !" I said, smiling. " You
like yriur joke; sir, I perceive. • The
Borough Market-must feel flattered,
indeed, to be mistaken for the Sy
denhany Palace.!' -- -,
"Borough Market! Of course, it
was only my joke," laughed thy Com
panion. But there Was no mirth in
the laugh.
He now took up his book agaim
and made another attempt to read:,
Though he fixed his eyes on the'page
and even now and again turned a
Ileaf ; it was evident that his. reading'
‘' was little bette+ than a pr&nee.. In-:.
deed, it was' so dark. in the carriage ,
that to see the small characters in an',
ordinary volume bad become quite:
impossible. . While he 'was Thus en.;-
gaged the train reached London.
Bridt!er' The moment we entered the
station my companion, who had drawn
nearer me, returned to his seatjn the
_corner fartlZA from ..the •platforui ;
From this he gazed 'witlr evidently
eager interest on the people passing
and repassing the carriage door. .As
at Cannon street. the ,number of these
"was noti great,and we were still alone
when the train trgain-moVed off. •
The moment we were'
outside 'the
station a change came . over my felloW
passenger. He threw his - --book on
the floor, and vise to his feet. , UM
erto I had, being preoccupied with
my own thoughts, given small .heed
to him. Now,•w„ithout knowinft wl4,
I felt myself fascinated. _ There was
a light in hisdark - eyes i an expression
in his mouth which at once . repelled
and attaieted we - •
" Have you been much of a trav
eler?" 'he al.:1- ed suddenly. Ile was
standing with his back -to the door
watching me curiously.- 1 . .
"I- have never , been out of the
island," I replied. .. ' • • .
" AO'? he said, " I have been eve
"rywhere—ltalv, Russia, India, China,
TimbUetoo, Ashantee— anywhere—
.everywhere. I have been near the
North-Polf; and quite at the South."
. " Indeed ; you must be a very great
traveler," I said '
" I have. never been to the moon.
No- man can be a great traveler. aho
has not been there." • • - --
"Then I'm afraid that with the
exception of those faMous heroes of
Jules Verne there are very,few about."
"Just so! just so! Aud yet a trip
up above this detestable fog beyond
the clouds would be enjoyable. . In a
night.like this it would be peculiarly
so ;• don't' you agree with me ?W'
" Not quite," I said; ‘' fox* own
part I'd
,much rather be at My fire
side." ' 1 . —:- - -
" You would, would yOu "I• .:..Look
at that,•smell that, taste that .cursed
fog." He threw open tote window,
and• certainly the fog which poured
in was bad enough in all conscience.
" I grant you it is not pleasant,
either tor eyes or throat,".l said: - .
" I knew you would," , continued
my strange companion:. " Anyone .
i would be glad to get out of it. The

not?" ' • •
There *atila light in the , speaker's
eyes which I did not like r and there,
was a movement at the corners of his.
mouth the opposite of ....pleasant.
While not feeling the least dread of
him, I-was yet not_without a strong
desire 'to reach S.pa:road. .As bad'
luck would have it, while yet we'liad
not made 'half the short journey,. the
train came. to a sudden !Itop.
" Yes,
•-he
_wOuld_be &public bene
factor who could delh'er the people
of London from f 4," I Said.. •
"I 1 WOuld,, would he not?" whis
pered. my companion eagerly. "Then
I am the Man."
As he spoke he grouched down and
looked up at me with a glare that
made me start. Heibuttoned his coat
and pulled up his sleeves,- as.he
pered again; "I am the man. • I can
free you.from these fogs—l can free
myself.". .
. ,
.. .
For the first time the thought now
flasheq into my mind that 1 was alone.
with a madman. I - recognized' now
that wild light_ in his eyes, that
strange twitching at the corners of
the mouth. I .d . p;not suppose I am
constitutionally ifforntimid than most
of my neighbors yet at this mninent
I felt a cold sweatsbreaking tall over
me, and I know :I. looked eagerly out
in the darkness;lioping that as now
the train was slowly inching we were
'near the station. I - Saw. only the
thick fog and the feeble: light of here
•
and there a lamp. . .
Yes, the man was mad, raving-mad;
There could be no -doubt about.. it.
Only a maniac could laugh the mirth
less laugh_ which-noW came frtini!h:s
throat, as he dreW two steps nearer
and hissed / at me: . "We shall travel
together to the moon. Adieu to the
fogs - ; say with me, adieu to the fogs:'
• I was now erect, watching .my com
panion intently, nerving myself fo7a
struggle,
,which', it , was • easy' to tell
was very; near. • I could easily see I
was no match for such an antagonist.
My hope was that I might . hold my
own for the few minutes necessary to
reach Spa road, where plenty of igis
istance-Would be available.. •
. " lour baloon Would scarcely
travel on sueh a night,"„l said f *ith

he said.
" 1:.do. Consider the den - sity of .
the fo2 - . Itow•euuld weAios.sibly get
'through it?"
"-Wol,there's . soiething in that,"
he said, sitting down. " Yet the ef
fort is worth a 'rial. - 17 t. it is worth
a.trial."
He sprang anew to his feet, and
approached me. He threw out his
strong hands, and made a- clutch at
my throat.
" This is.how we begin, this is how
1 get-the gas for the trip. I kill-you
!list to give y9ll start. Then I. start
myself and follow, yowl? one shout
I gave for hdp, but - Tit was lost in the
report of a- fog signal ; then wc'were
swaying backwarks and for Wards in
the carriage.in a stiuggle - which was
literally for life and death. The mas 1-
man's breath came hot on. my face,
hip strong arms held me in a ',fierce
embrace. There was,a ficree joy in
his eyes. •
The foam worked out of his Mouth
and his teeth gna,lied angrily against
each other.
Life is dear, and I felt no inclina
,-
Lion to yield mine without a desper
ate struggle. • I tore my antagonist's
hands from my throat, 'and for a mo
ment forced him tci_ act on the defen
sive. I shouted wain and again for
help, and how I Alged for Spa road
no words can dgeribe. The train
was now running, at a good rate and
I- knew the station could not be far
off.. If only I could hold my -own for
one half minute all would-he Safe.
Pausing in his exertions for a mo
lava the . madman sinldenly quitted.
Just then to my l horror the train
rushed through may station without
(.‘ven slackening speed.' I was in the
wrong train ;Zit_ there' was no. hope
of assistance until we reached New
Cross; It was eVident that my fel
low-passeng,ers ifacl .not heard
: my
shouts for-assistance.
Without , a
. Word of warning my
o'nupanTon again:threw himself upon
Me, this time with.a fury so resistless
that fritts-I?orne to the flow.
. We' shall go to the-moon," he
shrieked. I have a knife—we can
cut our way through the fog."
.I felt Myself helpless.- lry previous
exertions had exhausted my strength,
while that of the maniae seemed to
increase with the 'struggle. Strive,
as I might I was utterly and entirely
in his power now. -
. ,
flow
slowly the train seemed to
move. I believe now that it was
croinv - at a good speed, but to me it
appeared to progress at a smail's pace.
And - how
: curiously vivid were my
thoughts. I saw the:home where I
was expected, the kind fixes waiting
to greet me I wondered what. th4fd .
say when they heard. of my death. I
caught myself thinking -how ugly.
were the madman's eyes, and I even
noticed the color of his necktie—
blue, with white spots . I no- -longer,
felt any inclination to.shout for help.
To all intents I looked upon myself'
as dead. I even began to think of
myself as a third person. and - to hi
ment in -a philosophical fashion; the
ill-fortune which mit off at the begin-,
ning ()this career a promising young
man. Then 1 remembered that I
owed a - shoemaker for a Pair of boots,
.and I pitied the unfortunate trades
-man for the bad debt he - had made.
While these and - a hundred other .
thoughts were passing through my
brain, , it seemed to me that an age
had' transpired. In reality Ido not
suppose that at the outside more than
a minute had elapsed since my un
lucky fall.l Suddenly as'in a dream,
I heard the Madman, who was now
seated astride my chest, his; c•

' With curious deliberation he drew
a strong pocket-knife and opened it.

Fortunately the Pntlieted wound

Ultitnately I - heardl . that the blood

" He was the orfulest liar I ever
seen," said Cooley O'Leary as he re
tzirned from his friend's funeral.
"'Why* told me once that he lived
on a small island out in the Pacific
Ocean, on Which there was a yolcano.
Arid he said there was an active de-
maud out in that region for water
melons, arid he went into the business
of raising them, And he sail one
year his whole crop failed except one
melon, 4ileithat kept on growing at
such n fearful rile that. it crowded
him oil' the lovv land and up on the

one great mistake of his life.was that
he didn't drive. a plug in the. crater
of the volcano so as to Make it water-

on the half-shell. .- -

A Terrible .Liar.
Be Alone Sorrietimes.
Secure - for yourself some regular
privacy of life. As George 'lleTiert
says, "By all means use sometimes
to be alone." God has put eachlnto
a separate body. . We should follow
the divine hint, and see to it that we
do not lapse again into the general
flood brbeing. Many people cannot
endure being alone - ;: they are lost U
nless there is a clatter of tongues in
their ears. It is. of only weak, but
it fosters weakness. .The gregarious
instinct is animal—the sheep: and
deer living on in us; to be alone is
spiritual. We can :.have no ..clear,
personal judgment of - things till we
are somewhat separate from them.
Mr. Webster used to say of a difficult
question, "-Let me sleep . on it." • It'

HOW IT IS DONE-NOT WONPERFUL
PERFORMANCE.
With certain Indian jugglers the
" mango " trick is their most abet
ive. feat; A mango seed ; is produced,
and a flower. pot,tilled with mold, and
after a lot, of ceremony', (in plain
English, fuss,) the seed is put under'
the mould and several -coverings of
baskets and cloths are placed over
-the pot. Then there is more ceremo
ny and fingering. about the covered
baskets; and the pot is shown' with
the mango leaves just sprouting, up.
Then it is covered over again and.
more bocussing goes on, and the co
ver is lifted up again and the plant
is seen to have grown.. The cover
ing, hocussing and otiening go 'on,
the plant meanwhile having further
grown and become strong enough to.
bear fruit, the blossoms. -to. appear,
the fruit to form, and finally the fruit
to ripen, whicluis then, plucked elf
and given to be eaten.. " '. • ,

derstand how any. one can fail to.see

young-boys , from ten years old up,

nesS streets to a late hour
evil that seems to be rapidly grow,
ing, and it is in This way that many
bad habits and associations are form
ed that bring Sons - of worthy parent's
to a bad end, and pain to the heart
of.an over-indulgent mother or father..
Keep your boys - At home nights un
less you know that they ,- , tr . r • Out for
some reputable purpose, -4d your
, feelings' will be spared and your sons
grow up - to bless you for it and be a
comfort to your deelinin - years: - It
is not an - uncommon thing to see
tifteen•year old youths staggering
along so full of beer that-it is itilli
cult work .for them. to.navigate, and
the attendance of cheap cigars and
iowjests is alinost'imiversal with the
street loungers. Pareas , often talk
about "Young Amercia" baying his
day, and the. boys must . "sow their
wild oats" . and then they will "settle
down," but such talk i 3 a delusion
and a snare. Sometimes the boys
"settle down,". but they more often
turn •out drunkards and-criminals:
No boy was. ever better for having
been allowed to .s.ro through what is
called '.sowing his wild_ oats,' and.
when one. does
.survive the trial, and
comes back' to the right ways of
thinking and doing, it is generally
with. , . impai red:, constitution and
the thought always_ haunting him of
haw much better oil' he would 'be in
every sense of the word were it not
for the degenerating period , through
which he had passed. '
- It is an easy thing to gain such re
spect and love 'from a son as will al
ways ensure his obedience if. rightly
managed. Do not try to beat the
principles of right into him, but treat
him as a fellow being; do not be for
ever telling him that children should-
be seen. awl .not, "beard ; and sending
him oil by. himself : to Andy over a
dry Sunday -school' lesson, or :peruse
a chapter in the Bible on future ptin

but 'treat him like :a human. being,
With thoughts add your
self -; talk to him of politics, and the
current events of'''the day; , advise
with him as to your business, and
talk up with him any new prOject you
may on . hand, and let MLA thus
see that you have confidence in him
and 'consid'e'r him of some 'account;
and with reasonably pleasant home
in. other, respects, you will - not hate
much trouble in keeping him from
the'Streets, and will have lie- proud
satisfaction of seeing a 'useful and re

THE JUDGE'S SURPRISE.
The day was bitterly_ cold in Vir
Oita City, as winter days most gen
crafty are in that Alpine town, nd
though the sun was bright, its rays
were as cheeiless anthchill almost as
moon-beams. Wild gusts whistled
through the,streets; breathing icicles
and frost in their farkius - course, and
driving every living thing away to
seek shelter•froin its .hiting penetrat
ing breath. And yet- not everyone
was housed from the pitiless gale, for
he who had work to do or business
to trans let wa.; suannoned by inexur

or elst, when the day of reckoning

the warm and .friendly atmosphere, of
drinking-saloons, where, with " hot
Scotch" and a glowing furnace, they
mhnaged to - keep themselves from
freezing. Of these exceptions, Abe
Denning, the baker, was. one. In
sunshine or storm, hail, rain or snow,
people must_ eat, eat, in- fact, all the
more voraciously because it does hail
or snow, as if to perpetrate an un
seasonable joke upon tie - baker, who
especially in appetizing weather, must.

With the assiduity and attention
characteristic of his Class. While
disappearing into a customer's house
with an armful of bread, a girl of
some fifteen years of :age emerged
from a Miner's cabin close by, and,
tint casting wild and hurried glances
arounetlier, rushed to the baker's cart,
and had just abstracted therefrom
three loaves of f!read, and was car
rying them off when the baker return
ed, and eatialtt her in the, act.

ing just at the time, and the baker,
on thOpur Of, the moment, and with
out giving the Case thaVconsidera

'her in custodY, On a charge of theft,'
The' girl, without any attempt at ex

"Oh, my poor little brother!" she
cried; bitterly. "What will become

Here the child threw his arms
around the . girl's neck, as if to detain
her by force,. while - the •other: two

ant 'as the thief The offiecr testified
to the ifamishing, condition in - which
he found the children, but said not a

lini before the Judge. • Thereupon a

stood. before the bench, c' deg the

" You jest knowed as Much about
