tutu the confidence of the gentleman
and told of an elopement. The groom

; A large sycamore tyre had fullen
across tbe track of Wisconsin railroad
just around a Bhort curve. The ob
struction was not discovered until the
train w. within a few car lengths of
it, milking the cnllbdoii inevitable.
The front brakeroan. - Iuao Palmer,
was on the engine' when tli curve was
turned. Seeing the tree, he said to
McKihltea.the engineer, "Charlie, let's
leave her." M. McKitiben, who was
standing with one hand on the tand
lever aud tht other on the reverse
lever, reversing tbe engine, said noth
ing, but shook his head, t'he brake
man jumped, aud the collision occur
red. Thd train was ruuuing west when
it struck the tree ; the violence of the
impact threw tbe locomotive complete
ly around till it faced the east, revers
ing in position entirely. The sur
vivors of the disaster, the conductor
and two brakemeu, immediately began
to search for their comrades. McKib
ben was heard moaning, and imme
diately afterwards discovered in a sit
ting posture, mangled to a jelly. A
twisted rail encircled oue leg. The
poor man lived but an hour and half
after the accident. He died the death
of a true man, standing at hit post till
the last.
During a visit of rine young men
to a young iady iu yiudbyville, the
other evening, a littie brother of the
young la ly cuiue into the room, aud
a.Vr surveying tbe young gentlemen,
said :
"I bet I cau dt something that you

Oue of them imprudently asked
him what that was. He said
"I -au kiss my sister and ou cau't."

The Detroit Fr Press 1ms th fol
lowing: "Sunday morning two far
mers and their families, who were
driving to Maiden to attend church,
noticed, whc.i about eight miles be
low, or east of the town, a ship's yawl
on the lake, bending toward the beach,
and about half a mile away. They
could plainly make out a nuiti in the
sheets steering the boat with an oar,
and although there were no vessels in
sight, the morning was so pleasant and
the tea so smooth that it was supposed
the man had put out from shore to pick
uu something, and but little attention
was paid to the yawl. Passing the
same spot on tlieu return the men
found the yawl hard on the beach.aud
the man tilting stiff and motionless in
her steru. Leaving their waeoii thrr
discovered shat the man was lifeless
aud frozen at hard as a rock. He tat
bolt .upright on the seat, the oar out
behind and both hands clasping' the
haudle, and it required hard work to
wrench it from his death' grip. There
was about a foot of water in the boat,'
but the cruft did not show rough usage.
The man't legs were almoMl covered
with ice as far up as his knees, and
the spray had dashed up his back and
shoulders and frozen there: There was
no name nu the boat, aud the person
who brought the information to Wind
tor yesterday could not ay that any
thing was found on the person of the
man to revcul his identity, nor to show
bow be had been cast adrift. It it hot
believed that he put off from any ves
sel, but it is the theory of some of the
marine men that be wat driven from
some of the islands.nr from some point
down the shore. No one could tsy
how loiig he had been afloat, or when
death overtook him, but he must have
been dead at least three days or more,
There was neither sail nor mast to the
boat, and nothing in it but the one
maif, showing that the poor fellow had
not intended a long trp anywhete.end
that he must have been bioap off the
shore. He had used the oar to keep
before the wind, and had frozen to
dentil on the teat, where lie was to
firmly held by the ice that it bad to
be broken by a stone before he could
be pulled off' For days, and perhaps
for a fortnight, the frozen man tut
there with bis icy fingers clinging to
tbe ashen oar, aud the gales and the
waves spared h ni to reach ' the beach
and receive Christian burial, while a
score of hardy men manned a staunch
propeller saw her go down to a grave
in the deep waters and followed after.
Truly the great lakes have their tins

AMKt lOTK OF JOErn II.
Many stories are related of the
quaint humors of Joseph II. of Ger
many, and with all hi foibles the
spirit of humanity wat his over-mastering
genius. The Emperor wan walk
i.ig one dxv alone upon a public prom
enade of Vienna, wheu he met a young
woman who teemed to be in great dis
tress, lie spoke with her aud inquired
the cause of her sorrow. She inform
ed him that she was the daughter of a
petty officer who had beeir killed in
the imperial service; that she and ber
mother had for a time been enabled to
support themselves by their industry,,
but that they were now uuemploycd,
and reduced to utter want.
"Have you received no assistance
from the government ?' asked Joseph.
"None," replied the girl.. ,
"W hy do you iiot apply to the Em
peror?"' : .. i
"Ah," was tbe reply, with a sad
shake nf the head, "such a step would
be worse than useless." .
"Why so?"
: "Because he it stern and cold,) and
rare nothing for us who are poor aud
unfortunate." ;
."Why do you think thus?'' ,
"Because I have been to informed
by those who ought to kuow." ' .
"Upon my life, my good girl, I, be
lieve, you are sadly mistaken. But
you shall try for yourself. The Em
peror it my friend, and it indebted to
me. Take this ring, and. to-morrow
present yourself iu the imperial anti
chamber aud show it to the usher.
Bring your mother with you. and fear
not, I will .answer for the conse
quences." The girl took the ring and on the
following morning the and her mother
apared at the palace. A number of
dignities were in waiting for admission
to the imperial presence, but the pre
sentation of tbe ring gained them pre
cedence of all other. , W'hso th
young ladv was introduced to the Em
peror the beheld iu him her friend oi
the previous day, am) her first impulse
was oue of alarm iu memory of the
words that she bad spoke ; but Jo
seph quickly reassured ber.
"Be not afraid," he said, with a be
nignant smile. "I have learned tht
record of your brave father, aud upon
you and your mother I have settled
pension which will iusure you again'
want in time to come. Whatever e 1st
in futuie you may believe of Joseph
do not beliuve that bit heart it cold o.
