MIFFLINTOWN, Poetry. The Eoad to Hsaven. Tbe road to Heaven by Christ was made. In heavenly truth the rails were laid ; From Earth to Heaven the line extends, To life eternal, where it ends. Repentance is the station then, Where passengers are taken in. And where there is no re to pay, For Jesus is himself the way. The Bible is tLe engineer,. It points the way the Heaven so clear : Through tunnels dark and dreary here, It does the way to glory steer. God's love the fire, His truth the steam. Which drives the engine and the train ; All you who would to glory ride. Must come to Chri.-t, in Him abide. Come, then, poor sinner, now's the time, At any Btntion on the line. If you repent and turn from (in, The train will stop and take you in. The ccr is ready now to go, Say, will you go to Heaven, or no ? The engineer is very kind. May none of us be left behind. If you would like to take a ride, The engineer will all provide. You'll draw your rations on tho way, And at the end the beat of pay. We have on board a holy band. They are all bound for Canaan's laud, To see the taints who've gone before, To shcut and sing for ever more. The cars run through with great delight. While all the crew in here unite, Till Canaau's lr.ud appears in view, Where all the saints arc dressed anew. The first, the second and third class, Itepentance faith and holiness ; You must the way to glory gain. If you with Christ would, ever reign. This Heaven bound car runs night and day, N"or will she tarry on the way, t'ntil she lands in lleaveu above, . Where all the saints do feast on love. O'd Walter Kilboruc died and left a fortune that aggregated nearly a million. The gloomy old house which had been tli fjimilv nsiilpiiffi for mativ ft vpsr. . , . e .i i . . stood la one of the down town streets . . , , ., . ' r .i r i that had once been the site ot the fash- ,, .. ... , lonable residence of 2iew lork city. . ,1111 , mil tne wcaiiuy una long ago removeu to the avenues, leaving the perverse old millionaire to hold his own among the growing business of the once aristocratic thoroughfare. A bunch of black crape still hung on the bell knob, four days after the funeral, when a bent, wily look ing tnan pulled it. lining admitted, lie was shown iuto the dingy room which Mr. Kil borne had in his life used as an office This bent and wily looking man was Lawyer Whittemore. "Good morning." said the lawyer, as Robert, a grandchild of the dead million aire, a young man who showed plainly euotigh the marks of rough social usage, entered and extended his band rather listlejsly. "Good morning,"' was the reply. "Well." "Well I" echoed the lawyer. "You got my uote ?" "Asking me to meet you here 1 Yes ; what do you want?" "You drew my grandfather's will ?" "I did, two days before he died." "What were its contents ?" "I have no right to tell you," and Mi. Whittemore tried to look severe. "It is wilh the Surrogate now, and you will know its contents on Thursday, when it will be officially opened. I couldn't think of violating my official ' "Not unless you are paid for it,'' in terrupted the young man. 'I understand that perfectly well, and will be plain and brief with you As you are aware, my self and my cousin Myra are the only living relatives of my grandfather. We have been brought up here in this house together, and each hates the other as much as possible. Now, I've no idea bow the property ia left, and I want to know. I am willing to pay for the knowledge in advance of the opening of the will, and you have it to sell," The lawyer assented with a cool nod of his head. "Then name your price," continued Robert. 'One thousand dollars." "I haven't so much." "A note for a mouth will do " The document was quickly written out, Bigned by the young man, and trans posed to the lawyer's pocket. "The will," then eaid Mr. Whittemore "is a strange one as strange as the man who made it but he would listen to no advice, and I had nothiug to do but carry out his wishes. He leaves all his prop erty to Myra Kilborue." D n Lira !" hissed Robert. "Hold," said the lawyer, "until you hear the conditions. He leaves all his property to Myra, as I said before, on condition that she shall immediately sign an agreement to within a year, become your wife. If she shall decliue to fulfill this condition, the property belongs to you. The only other point is, that in case Myra is married to anybody before i th cotitbtio toi cmioi am tbb rocsST or JUNIATA COUNTF, PENN'A., tbe will ia opened, he gets tLe property tLe same is if she marries you. But that provision, (if course is of no conse Tjuence, as she is not likely lo marry be fore day after to marrow, 'which will be the Thursday on which the document to be opened. Here the lawyer stopped and looked into his compnnion'a face as if expecting an expression of displeasure. He was disappointed, however, for Hubert seem ed rather salifiicJ than otherwise. "It pleases me well enough," he said, "for I half expected to be cut off uncon ditionally. You see, I've been rather fast, and the old man disliked it, while Myra's gentle ways and attention to his wants won his regard. She is complete ly hound up iu her lover, Harry Perton, who is Luudreds of miles away just, now and I don't believe the would give hiui up for tLe fortune a dozen times over. Even if she should consent to marry me, I wouldn't be so badly off with the pro perty almost under my control." Tho lawyer here arose, bade his un scrupulous patron good day and went out. But as he did so, had his ears been younger he might have caught the sound of tustling skirts fleeing up the stairway j those s:tmc skirts euvelopiug the pretty I form of Myra Kilbdrne, who had heard i every word of tho interview ry listening j i at the door. I "So, so," she mused, when she had j reached ltt-i own room and thrown her- self into the chair, ,-I am to buy the for tune by selling myself. I won't do it I would not give up Harry for fifty times I a million Robert can take the money, : and much good may it do hitn.V j Yet, notwithstanding her conclusive ; decision, Myra could not relinquish with- j "ut a i'anS fortune to which she had always looked forward as her certain 'portion. Tier grandfather h.td alays Feeuied to regard her with affection, and she had not dreamed that iu his will he could impose such a distasteful reslric- turn. 'If Harry was only here,' she thought "there would not be any trouble, because we could get married before Thursday What trhall I do 1 I wish I ha 1 some body to advise me. And I can have a lawyer if what I want. They are up to i J , a" srtd of tricks, so they say. . , , , , I itlmut a moment s delay she dreesed i , , ,,, herself for the street and went cnt. She I knew no lawyer, but walked until she 1 came to a buildiug upon which she had I often noticed an array uf legul signs Passing up stairs, and selecting a name from the lot that chanced to strike her most favorably, she entered a well furn ished office. A middle aged man sat 1. mo writing at a desk. - "Is Mr. Temple in?'' asked Myra. "Yes," said the man, looking up at his pretty visitor, and inotiouiiig her to a seat, "that is my name." "I have coma for some legal advice some advice on a matter of the greatest importance to me, aud " "If I am t" eid you." said the lawyer kindly, "you must speak frankly and unreservedly, which you may do ia the utnaoet confidence.". Thus encouraged, Myra told hira the whole story of the will, the manuer in which she had obtained information, aud her feelings in the matter. "Of course." she concluded, "I want to retain the fortune, but not at the price stipulated in the will. Can you help me 1" Mr. Temple eat for a while in deep thought so long in fact, that Myra got fidgety with waiting. At last his face brightened with an idea, and he at once imparted it to his fair client. For an hour they were in close consultation. That day and the next passed, and Thursday came. Tbe will was to be read iu tiio Surrogate's office j at twelve o'clock, a carriage drove up to the Kil borue residence. In it were Mr. Temple and two of his intimate friends. The former alighted and entered the house. In a moment he reappeared with Myra. She acted a little nervous, but seemed reassured by the presence of the lawyer, who helped her into the carriage, and all were driven away. They proceeded to the residence of a clergyman, where they were evidently expected, as they were 'shown promptly iuto the parlor. I he reverend gentleman entered, and the law yer stepped forward with Myra. "We are the couple sir." The marriage ceremony of the Epis copal church was performed, a certificate was made out, the two friends signed it as witnesses, and the quartette were soon again seated in the carriage. "Drive to the Court House," said Mr. Temple to the driver. Tho Surrogate, the clerk, Robert Kil borne, Lawyer Whittemore, and a few others were ia the surrogate's office when the "wedding party" entered. It was j'ust twelve o'clock. The will was read and Robert turned rather superciliously to Myra for her decision. "Will you sign the agreement to mar ry me 7 lie asuea. 'No," she replied. Then you resign the property to me V and a gleam ot triumph shot from Ins j eys. ,"Xo !" rna laws. J APJRIL 23, 1S73. "Tbat will provides,'' said Mr. Temple, "that irhe shall take the fortune if mar ried at the time of its opening. She is married to me, and here is the certificate. The ceremony was performed an honr is . ago. On the same day proceedings were in stituted by Mr. Temple on behalf of Myra to obtain for her a divorce from himself. ''Abandonment-' was the ground. A few days later Harry re turned, and before the day appointed for his marriage to Myra bhe had obtained her divorce fiom Mr. Temple. The lat ter was one of the jolliest pf tho gnests. "If it hadn't been for yon ' began the grateful bride. "Slop !" interrup ed Mr. Tcmp!e. "I am to put it al! in tuy bill.

The Detroit Free Tress chronicles one : of those heroic iuctdents with which the lives of most railroad engineers abonnd,. as happening recently to Frank Dolau, an engineer ou, the Lansing road. lie w;:a coming in on a wet track with a ht-nvy train, and soon after leaving a station, put on more steam to make up for lost time. The train was running at tho rate of about twenty five miles an hour, t hen Dolan caught sight of a man ou the track, about half a mile ahead. Hu was certain that the ma i was deaf from the way he walked, but he opened the whistle and rang the bell. The man paid no attention to the sounds, aud Dol an whittled for brakes. They did not take will, and although tho engine was reversed, it was plain that the pedestrian would be run down unless something was done promptly. Dolan ran forward over the engiue and down on the cow-catcher. By this time the pedestrian was not more than three hundred feet away, and was trying to walk on one of the rails, sway ing this way aud that, but apparently not feeling the rumble of the train, as it naturally would be expected he would Dolan, leaning forward, reached a foot beyond the cow-catcher, and, as the train came close upon the man's heels, struck him in the back wilh both fiats. The victim was not pn the nil at that moment and he caught it with his feet as he went over, so that he was whirled around lengthwise of the track, and was cut iu the ecalp by some portion of the first pair of trucks. He was floundering iu the ditch when the train stopped, aud, when he found out what the fuss was about, he squared off and wanted to whip somebody. He was so deaf that the railroad employes had to scream in his ears to make themselves heard, and so mad that he would not let them examine his wound or do anything for him. He was recognized as a farmer living near theie, but would not even accept a free ride home A Father's Advice to a Bride, Said a young huabaud, whose busi ness speculations were unsuccessful; " My wife's silver tea set, the biidal gift of a rich uncle, doomed me to fi nancial ruin. It involved a hundred unexpected expenses, which, iu trying to meet, have made me tho bankrupt mau that I am." His is the experience of many others, who less wiso do not not know what is the goblin of the house Working its destruction. A sagacious father of great wealth, exceedingly mortified his daughter by ordering it to be printed on her wedding cards. "No presents, except those adapted to an in come of 81,000." Said he, " you must not expect to begin life "in the style I am able by many years of labor to in dulge, and I know of nothing that will tempt you to try, more than -well inten tioued but pernicious gifts of rich frieuds." Such advice is timely. If olher parents would follow tho same plan many young men would be spared years of incessant toil . and anxiety, they would not find themselves ou the downward road because their wives had woren all their salary or expended it on the appointments of the house. Tho fute of the poor man who found a linchpin aud felt obliged to mako a carriage to fit it, is the fate of the husband who finds his bride in possession of gold and silver ware and no large income to support the owner's gold and silver style.

This made Sanderson feel re vengeful, and the girl's new lover having been engaged, in emtiggiing, Sanderson informed upon him, and he had to leave the island, to which he never came back. The people were so violent against San derson that he, too, was forced to Ieav, but he married before doing so, bis wife being taken to spite his old mistress, who 1 u "'"''"" ' had not married. , . .
