(From the _Evening Post.l HARVEST TIME. BY ANNA S. HAYWOOD. • The lengthening shadows stealing froth the lea, Creep down the rocks, and stoop to kiss the sea: Then hurriedly climb up, and turn to flee , Back to the purple hill. lip the broad, pattahe reapers homeward gor The little gleaners wander to and fro, And from the valley lying Just below Echoes the tinkling rilL The lindefuf, leaning over thegreen lane, Ave Lung with samples of the olden grain: Caught from the fulness of the adentrain as it bore home its prize. Their olustering leaves press the brigt light away, 'And so beneath reigns twilight all ttie day, save where some straying sunhshoi, like a fay, - ' Peeps in with laughing eyes. B_ . • •• . . eyond the harvest fields the rolling land Slopes to.the sea; toward the glistening - strand • t , The waves ride proudly.: and to greet the sand EV1. , ..1 - Eaeh bows its silvered crest Then, rising up, sweeps out again to sea, Chanting upon their way sweet melody, And so they rise and fail increasingly. i • And never are at rest. - - - . •, . . Wrapped in a peaceful stillness Natnre Lies, . lAe if, mobile gazing at the quiet skies, Sue had looked past their depths, had Met God's eyes' And In that gaze grown calm. . ! . As if awed by the solemn sight ahe lay, Or fallen asleep, was dreaming Time away, Singing unconsciously by night and day, A reverential psalm. . Half veiled in golden light of shimmering air, The landscape stretches, wonderfully fair, No trace of paling beauty anywhere; Nature is in her prime. In richest robes the hills and woods appear, The lakes and springs lie motionless and clear, Ruled by the fairest queen of all the year, Beautiful liarvcst tame. The silver river windirg through the lea,. The singing birds on every greenwood tree, 'he music of the never-silent sea, The deep and solemn wood, .Are never-changing witnesses that He Who made all these fair things so gra.iously Is mighty in His love, and prayertully I whisper "God is good l" Hushed for the night is labor's busy hum, The patient oxen from the home croft come. Their yoke unloosened and their day's work done, Down to the little spring ; In from the sea the fragrant breezes roam, Bearing the scent of sea-flowers freely blown, And murmuring of their wild, free ocean home, Thus gladden everything. Like little lambkins hastening to the fold,' And seeking shelter from the night and cold, Drift the white clondlets to the gates of gold, And enter one by one. Ranging all day about the quiet sky— The great wide pasture ground stretched out on high They've wandered, and now weary homeward hie, Where gleams the sinking sun. Into a rainbow-painted setting place. The golden orb rides down with stately grace, blow veiling in br.ght clouds its radiant face; And lo ! at its command Longer the shadows fall on rock and tree, From my sight fades the harvest plain and sea, And twilight clasps its pale arms lovingly Around the peaceful land! Et Locomotive Running Wild. A singular occurrence took place on Saturday morning at the junction of the Western Maryland with the Northern Central railway. The locomotive "Mo nocacy," of the. Western Maryland rail road, was on the track of that road, as usual, ready to back down for the pas senger train of said road, which goes from the city with the mail train, and cuts loose from said train below the junction. By some mistake on the part of the switch tender at the junction the switch was left open, and the mail train, running at her usual and fast speed, en tered the track of the Western Maryland • railroad. The engineer and fireman of the Western Maryland railroad locomo tive seeing the danger made every effort ' Jo start the engine and get out of the way, but the distance and time being so short they could not get the engine - started in time to prevent a collision, and therefore left her to her fate. The concussion was so great that the bolt coupling the tender with the engine was thrown out and one safety chain broken, the tender being but slightly injured. The engine bounded off, with but one single chain connecting the tender with the engine, the engineer and fireman, with others, immediately following on foot. The locomotive was soon at a speed of forty miles per hour, and having a full furnace of wood there was no tell ing where she would be brought up. She passed two very short curves on the road at a fearful rate of speed, much to the wonderment of all along the route, not knowingwhat the wild freak meant. One of the provisions of the charter of the Western Maryland Railroad Com pany is that the whistle is to be sounded or the bell rung at all road crossings, but it has not been ascertained that this locomotive complied strictly with this provision. It was fortunate that the pumps were on at the time as the cold water pumpea into the boiler had a - beneficial effect in arresting her wild career. The cold water having arrested her, she was found sewn miles up the road, and strange 4 to say, near the 'water station where she had been accustomed •to get .her supply. When found, a colored man was occupying the seat of the engineer, with his fiddle, and was entertaining himself and the locomotive with the tune of "John Brown's Soul is Marching On." He had not mechanical skill sufficient to shut off the valve, and the steam getting up again by the stop page, she was about starting again on her wild course as the engineer ap proached the engine, seeming to fear a reprimand from her master for thus un ceremoniously leaving him; but the colored man stad she should flat move a peg, and had, as he said,"scotched" the wheels with wood from the tender. Had it not been for the pumps being on, she would have run into the freight train east, which was only four miles distant. The engine and cars of the Northern Central Railway were but slightly broken, and fortunately np passenge;.s were injured. Baltimore Sun. The Springfield Armory. The Springfield (Mass.) Republican says: "Nearly three hundred boxes of cavalry sabres and egyipmints were re ceived at the army last wee from Rich mond and Fortress Monroe. The ma - chinery which has been in-preparation for the last:four months. -for- remodeling the guns with Mr. Allen's bieech-loat t ing improvements, is now nearly fin ished, and the first lot of five thousand, • . changed , by General Dyer, has been r -commenced. The machinery has had a , complete new outfit of tools and fixtures, and is the best in the country for the • purpose. The improved gun does not differ much in general, appearance from an ordinary Springfield rifle,- as- far as size and weight are concerned. The .range and force of the ball is also Ala terially changed. "The improvement consists in the = breech-loading invention by whic a eighteen cartridges may be fired in a crZtminute. The - cartridge is inserted by a ,single motion, and the same motion re versed throws out the empty shell and , leaves the gun ready for another charge. 'The - Cartridges used are made at the armory, - as are also others of various patterns. This improved weapon has not-yet been examined by a Government commissioner, but the invention, when rperfected in August,last, was so satisfac tory. to General . Dyer, that he ordered 'five thc•usand altered.: The cost;of,patik- ing the change is from . m, five to six ciollars per piece. Should the recently-appointed commissioner adopt this , as the standard arm, the remodeling w'll bring a large increase of work to the , a mory." • The Maine Legtheture. Arrousra Me., Feb. 21.—At a caucus of the Republican members of the Legislature held this evening, the following resolutions were adopted: - - Rgsolved, That this Legislature cordially approve and indorse the action of the Sena tors of this State, in wit ng to pass the Freedmen's Bureau bill, notwithstanding the President's veto, as being in accordance with the sentiments of their constituents, and the,. principles upon ' the support of which alone this Government can tie sup ported.
