tti:'n the wine-made wit I was.
waS sure of it when, three hour after, I
U!iibled up stairs at home to find Jo. wait
ln3 for nie, with her babe on her breast.
'"You've been deceiving me," said . Jo.
"I've expected it, but 1 wasn't sure. A
scientific club couldn't smell like a bar
room." "Which means I do," said I waiving in
the middle of the room like a signal flag at
a station, and seeing two Jos.
"And look l;ke one," said Jo.; and she
went and locked herself and the baby in the
spare bed room.
One cold night, as I was dressed to go,
Jo stood before me.
".Ned," said she, "I never had a fault to
5nd with you before, I'll say tliat. You're
been good, and kind, and loving always;
but I should be sorry we ever met if you
were to gon in this way. Don t ask me
what I mean. You know."
"Jo," said I, "its only on dub nights."
"It will grow.", said she.
Then she put her arm around my neck.
"Ned," said she, "do you think a thing
so much like a bottled-up and htrapped
down demon as steam is, is tit to be put
into the hands of a drunken man? And
someday, mark my words, the time will
come when not only on Thursday night but
all the days ot" the week will be the same.
I've often heard you wonder what the feel
ings, of an engineer wko has about the same
as murdered a train f ull of people muit be,
and you'll know if you don't stop where you
are. A steady hand and a clear head have
been your blessings ail these years. Don't
throw them away, Ned. If you don't care
for my love, d m't ruin yourself."
My ii'tle Jo. She spoke from her heart,
and I bent over and ki.-sed her.
"Don't hi af: aid, child," I said; "I'll
nevir pain you pgaiti."
And I meant it; but at twelve that r.itdit
I felt that I had forgotten the promiso and
my resolution.
I couldn't go home to Jo. I made up
my miud to sleep on the club sofa and leave
:he place for good nerfrday. Already I felt
my brain reel as it never had before. In an
hour I was in a kind of a stupor.
It was morning. A waiter stood ready to
brt'jh my coat. I saw a grin on his hhick
face. My head seemed about to burst ; my
hand tremble I; I looked at my watch; I
had only just live minute:) to reach the de
pot: Jo's words e.tmc to n:y mind. Was I fit
to take charge of I be t-iiir'tiiO? I was not tit
to answer. I ought to have asked some
sober i:i;:n. As it was 1 only caueht my
ii:. a:id rtr-bed away. I was just in time.
The tan l iancisco tdi'tered in the liioru-in-c
sun. The ears were filling rapidly.
Froai my post. I could h'V-r th.; peop's talk
ing btddiii.'i each other good bye, promis
ing to v?rt'-5 ami come again. Arno:rst
them was ati old gentleman 1 knew by sight
one td t lie shareholders ; he was bidding
t .vo ;ii.ii 1 giiis adieu.
'"Good bye, Kitty good-bye, Lue," I
bnrd him say; "don't lie nervous. The
San Francisco is the safest engine on the
line, and Guolden tfte most careful engineer.
I wouldn't h? afraid to trust every mortal I
love in a batch to their -keeping. Nothing
could ha:peu wronj with the two toecth
er." I saiJ, "I'H get through it somehow, and
Jo shall never talk to me again." After all
ir was easy rnoagh. 1 rttuiad f.s I spoke. 1
heard tho sign-.l. We were oil". J
Five hours fio-n L. to D. ; five hours
back. I saw a red ilutter. and never gues
sed what until we passed ll'.-- down train at
a wrong place. Two ininulcs more and w
should have bad a colli ion. ir-oiticbody
told inc. I laughed. I heard him say re
sped fully :
"Oi course. Mr. GueWen, you know what
yon are about '!"
Then I wp.s alone and wondering whether
I ehou'd go slower or faster. I did some
thing, the ears rushed on at a fearful rate.
The same man who had spoken to me be
fore was standing near to me. i heard some
question.
How tnsny miles an hoar wero we mak
ing ? I didn't know.
Il'.-tle. rattle, rttie! I was trying now
to slacken tho speed of tho Sati Francisco.
I eou' l it )t remember what I should do.
"as it this, or that ? Faster only faster,
I wie playinir with the engine like a child.
Suddenly thrc was a horrible roar a
crash ; I was Hung somewhere. It was into
the water. Dy a miracle I was only sober
ed, r.ot hurt. 1 gained the shore ; I stood
upon the ground between the track and ihe
river's edge, and there gazed at my own
work.
The engine was in fragments, the cars in
splinters; dead and dying and wounded
were strewn aiound men and women and
children old age and tenderyonth. There
were groans and shrieks of despair. '1 he
maimed cried out in pain ; the unwonnded
bewailed their dead ; and a voice, unheard
by any other; was in my car, whispering
"murderer 1"
The news had gone back to A., and peo
ple eame thronging down to find their
friends. The dead were stretched on the
grass. I went with some of the distracted
to find their lost ones. Searching for an
old man's daughter, I came to this, a place
under the tree, and five bodies lying there
in all their rigid horor au old woman, a
young one, a baby and two tiny children.
It was fancy it was pure fancy, born of
my anguish they looked likt? oh ! great
Heaven they were my old mother my
wife, my children! all cold and dead.
How d'd they come on this train ! What
chance bad brought this about? No one
could answer. I groaned, I screamed, I
cla-ped my hands, I tore my hair. 1 gazed
on the good old iaee of her who had given
me birth, cn the lovely features of uiy wife,
on my innocent children. 1 cailed them by
name; there was no answer. There never
could be never would be. As I compre
hended this, onward up the track thundered
another tcain. Its red eye glared upon me;
I flung myself before it; 1 felt it crush me
to atoms !
"His head is extremely hot," said some
body. 1 enened mr eves and saw mv wife.
"How do you feel," she said, "a little
Letter V
I was so rejoiced and so astonished hy tho
sight of her. that I could not speak at hrst.
She repeated the question.
"I must be crushed to pieces," I said,
"for the train went over me ; but I feel no
ram.
"There be goes about the train again,
said my wife. "Why, Ned."
I tried to move there was nothing the
matter with me ; I sat up. 1. was in my own
room ; opposite me a crib in which two
children were asl.tcp. beside me a tiny bald
baby head. My wife and children were
safe! as I delirious, or could it be?
"Jo" cried I, "tell me what has hap
pened." "It's nineo'clock," said Jo. "You came
home in such a dreadful state from tjie club
that I couldn't wake you, You weren't fit
to manage tcam and risk people s lives.
Ibe fcan iraocisco is halt way to A., 1 sup
pose, and you have been frightening me to
death with your tlreadtul talk.
And Jo began to cry.
It was a dream only an awful dream,
But I had lived through it as though it were
reality.
"Is there a Bible in the bouse, Jo," said
1.
"Are we heathens?" asked Jo.
"Give it to me this moment. Jo."
She brought it, and 1 put my hand on it
and took an oalh (too solemn to repealed
here) that what had happened never should
occur again. It never has. And if the San
Francisco ever cornea to grief, the verdict

Look After Lads.
From an article under this bead in the
Chicago .Journal of Commerce we take the
lollowing extracts :
In our cities, where tradelrives and is ex
acting and whero, amusements and lashion
hold such despotic sway, this evil for it is
an evil of ab.seiteeism from pai tcnal and
maternal duties is a growing ong, and threat
ens to' injure both individuals and society
more than we may expect. Hurried life ;
life too exclusively conSned to the counting
room ; life with the crowd in the boarding
house or the hotel ; life that is restless and
gay to the verge of dissipation this sort of
hie with its obviously demoralizing effect
upon America in its 'teens, is quite too com
mon. Verily, it might properly ho said
that parties have no mora! right to be mar
ried and have the "olive plants" spring up
around any tabl but the table of their own
domicile, where they can and .are anxious to
look after the welfare, the growth and cul
ture of their offspring. .
The I 'salunst tells that "God setteth the
solitary in families," which means, we sup
pose, that the way people ought to live is in
households, where the natural relations and
the natural affections shall have tho privacy
the separation, from the great bustling
world and the concourse of the people they
require for their right enjoyment and their
pure and healthful exercise ; yet how sadly
is this ordination of I'rovidence interfere
with and disregarded, ominously so, in our
great and multitudinous towns. Indeed it
is, or is becoming, a very serious question,
bow what are assumed to be the imperative
demands of business, and what are felt lo
be the almost irresistible solicitations of
".society," can be reconciled with a decently
faithful regard to the claims of domestic
life. . . . We dread the street and the gut-
ter for the liltlechaps ; we talkof the ptema
ture old-headedness of the shoeblacks, news
boys and other vagabond youngsters; but
really it admits of a doubt whether r.-igs and
rowdyism in blind alleys are worse in their
influence on the rising generation than hotel
entries and ball rooms in the company ot
grooms, coachmen and other servants. The
contagion of vicious and loose habits is not
warded off by" fine Clothes, and little t-eutle-
mcn may gefinfected by it quite as easily,
perchance, as l'.ttle gamins. Certainly,
"terrible 'nlaiit.s in eostiy at tiro are auout
as frequently met with astlnwe whoso chief
argument is a coating of dirt. It is, there
fore, very desirable with the rich as well as
the noor that well ordered family living
should not pass away, as it seems to be pas
sing away; and that the intercourse and as-
social ion between parents and iheir children
should become less iotei uiitlent and closer.
Of what advantage will it be to make a
fortune. for one s heirs and to seat them m
luxurv. if meanwhile tbev arc loft without
c treful watching, without special and solic
itous care for their mora! training ami watch
ing. and care that cannot be safely entrusted
to hirelings? It would be well for some
merchants and professional men to put this
inquiry to themselves, as they remember
how they daily come outof their front doors
in the morning not to re-enter them until
e-cning, and then only to prepare forgiving
a iroou portion ot the iiteht to engagements
in which home matters have no lot or part.
Keep your hov a boy while he is a buy ; a
well behaved, polite boy; a manly boy; a
courageous, sen reliant noy ; no mils sop
bov tied to bis mother s skirts, but still a
boy; not a little weakling fop, a precocious
snob, a conceited monkey, aping the airs
and acquiring the habits of grown-up dan
dies and fast characters. 1 on't make a self-
indulgent small gentleman of him. Teath
him to wait upon and take care of himself,
and to respect his interiors and treat them
courteously and kindly. I'ray save him
from the absurdity ot a cane and Lid gloves
and garments that are not suited to down
right hearty plays. It may be prelty and
aristocratic, and a sign of your opulence to
dress him up in the height of fashion, but
in so doing you run the risk of spoiling him
for any robust and useful living in this dem
ocratic land ; and pray remember, as . you
take a pride in the bright handsome lad,
that this is a democratic land, of which he
is to be a citizen ; therefore that be is not
wholly yours, but belongs to his country, and
that you are first to make him an honest, gen
uine republican in moral, mind and manners.

sat a grave Friend by the fire. Lifting a
pair of green spectacles upon his forehead,
rubbing his inflamed eyes and calling for
the brandy and water, he complained to the
r riend that his eyes were getting weaker
anl that even spectacles didn t seem to do
them any good." "I'll tell the friend,"
replied the Quaker, "what I think. If
thou won Idst wear thy spectacles over thy
mouth for a few months thine eyes would
get well again.
Youth is a glorious invention. While the
girls ;hase the hours, and you chase the girls
the months seem to dance away, with down

There is one single fact which one may

"Cheek."
As a general thin.?.1 we deprecate the use
of slang phrases ; but there are some of
them that seem so exactly expressive of a
habit or characteristic that the most fastidi
ous etymologist might be pardoned in the
use of them.
There is akind of ffncrriHa, English hav
ing its origin on the streets, along the
wharves, among the newsboys, and else-
here beyond the precincts ot the schools.
It annexes itfclf to the language in spite ot
dictionary-makers; it will not be frowned
away by the disapproval of any LL, D ; it
lias its birth somewhere, somehow, because
there is need of it ; and presently it ascends
from the servants' hall to the parlor, and
gets a foothold on the tapestry; the news
papers adopt it, and thus we have it engraf
ted upon the language. The erudite grad
uate will tell us this is all wrong ; that we
ought to draw every expression from the
"well of English undefiled;" and that (for
instance) the word ckerle signifies nothing
else than "part of the face below the eyes
on each Fide." But facts are facts, after
all ; and people will continue to use this
word in the highly expressive sense of "un
blushing impudeme," or "brazen effron
tery." We have selected it from the great
stream of slang running through the speech
of the people and perhaps better calculated
than any other to illustrate the wonderful
expressiveness of this "guerrilla Knglish."
"What d'ye think of young T ?" was
lately asked in our fearing.
"A cheeky boy," was the answer. Could
volumes have spoken more accurately of fast
saucy young America than that?
At table lately, a "ieari and hungry"
looking person, whose appearance denoted
that "square meal-." were with him as' an
gels vi-its, cooiy appropriated the whole
contents of a uncommon dish, of which the
supply was known to be limited. His op
posite sal waiting for the dish to reach him;
and as he saw it replaced, empty, upon the
table, after this wholesale appropriation of
its contents, his vexation and disappoint
ment found vent in the one word, u;tered
with an emphasis that no amount of under
scoring here can reproduce : m
"Check!"
The other diners laughed and smiled ap
provingly, and the dinner-table private jed
deiied from his nose beyond his ears. The
lesson will not be lost on him.
We have ail had some experience on the
railway trains with a class of people whose
conduct can only flow from a plentiful sup
ply of the quality named herein. We enter
a car, and the Hrst view tells ui that it is
full or nearly so. No vacant seat attracts
our eye. We wait on, and to us appears
the figure of a spruce yonng man, with a
look of hard decision about the angles of hi3
face, sitting by the window, while a great
valise beside him occupies the balance of
the seat. W stop, we hesitate ; We don't
like to address him, for we don't fancy that
look ; but we do want a seat. Ho looks
straight out of the window, and pretends to
be unaware of our presence.
Mr ! say we. cir
He turns his head, and contemplates us
with a stonv eve.
"Sir is thr irholf of this seat taken?"
"Yes, .'"
He hurls the words at us like a charge of
shot. Vi e murmur indignantly, '( lieek,
and pas on. No other word that we know
of can describe such conduct.
"Here is the bill for that suit you re
wearing, Mr. Blue Jay," fays the exasper
ated tailor. "Do you propose to pay it, or
ni t, sir? If I've presented it once, I have
eleven times, sir."
'Ah. indeed?' blandly replies the Jere
my Diddler, "Well, now, I think you'd
better present it again, and that II just make
the even dozen, don't you see? I never
did iike odd numbers,"
Would anvbodv think ot giving Ihat any
such mild name as impudence? It is cheek
downright cl eek.
"Got any Hour-? asked a leilow who
auntered into a country store, with his
hands in his pockets.
"Oh. yes, sir ! answers the merchant,
with alacrity. ' Extra and superfine
' Any sugar
"Certainly, sir; white and yellow cotlee,
crushed, powdered "
"Hnttcr !
"Some just come in sweet and nico.'
"Kefs?"
'"l'lenty of 'cm, sir."
"Well. I'm glad to hear it," drawls the
joker. "These things are all useful in a

Can this be called anything but "cheek,"
and that of the very cheekiest descrip
tion :
Tho careless donkey who treads on your
corns at an evening party, and then remarks
audibly that some people have teet as large
as school districts ; the young scamp who
