A BACK WOODS ERAWA DE
"Come, Uncle Bill, give us another
story to-night ; something of the days
when you was a younfr, man and hunted
bears and cleared up your farm. I know
that there is more of the same sort we've
ad, in store in that head of yours."
So said I one night. as I ran up to the
Mil gentleman's cottage to pass away Ito
evening, and listen to a story that 1
knew I was sure to get.
" Wal," said old Bill, hitching back
from the fire that roared like a furnace
in a broad fire place, and making his
position on the hearth decidedly uncom
fortable, "1 knowed what you was atter
the moment I seed you coming over the
hill, and so I fell •to ransacking my
brains, and alt at once it occurred to me
to tell you about my serenade."
"Not yours, or mine, by a good deal,
Bill. I never was such a pesky fool as
to have anything to do with such a
scrape as that."
" No, Nancy, 'twaut, ours ; but I call it
mine because I was the. One that got it
up, started the thin, you see—a sort of
a ring leader as the saying is."
"And the more shame to you, Bill.
It was bad enough to be in that scrape
without taking the credit to yourself of
getting it up."
"There, Nancy, don't, say any more,
if ye can't toll the truth. You know
when I got home, and told you about it
that you was tickled nigh about to death.
That serenade beat anything that ever
happened in these paiti. Not much like
the carrying on now a days when a couple
gets hitched."
"I suppose not, Uncle Bill ; but heave
ahead with your story. I'm (anions to
know how you managed. affairs in 'those
days.''
" Wel, to begin at the beginning, it
was some half a dozen years inter Nancy
and 1 had set up for ourselves, that lien
Potter lost his wife. lien had moved up
into these parts the next year arter I
did, along with about a dozen other-fami
lies. The next spring there was a lot
more conic, so at the end of half a dozen
years we had quite a settlement about
here. Ben was alwaye a wild, harrum
searem sort of a chap, and his wife had
not been able to tame him as Nancy had
me; but they always got along well to
gether, and when at last she died, you
novel' in all your life see a fellow take on
as he did. Ho declared that he would
kill himself and be laid in the same grave .
with his Sally ; and some of the timid
ones was really afraid that he would do
it ; but he survived the inflictiOn, though
lie did act, masterly at the grave,, and
somo folks was afraid that ho would
jump down in, and so they kept hold on
him and led Win back,to his cabin,, which
want but a littlo ways from tho ,Iforyin,g
yard. •
,*al for a whole week Ben didn't do
anything, lie-declared tliit his' heart
was buried with his Sally, and that he
should never be the same chap be had
been. nuley here believed him, but I
didn't. I knowed that ho would soon
got over it and have another wife before
six nontli. Nancy belieVed that I was
a hard hearted wretch to say so ; but
was right all the time, for in jest two
months from theday his wife, was kivered
up, Ben • married Polly Kilot, a wilder
woman that bad come into the place
about the time his first Wife was taken
sick. Wal, you hatlbetteC believe folks
I=
;liked soine [tient that time. :Nancy
here, declared •that Lo was a miserable
scamp, and that she was no better than
she ought to be, and atwcon you, and I,
and the back of the chimney, I don't
think she was. I asked Nancy what she
thought about Ben's]cillitig himself now,
and she declared that shelLad-,knoWn all
the time Unit ho was only makineie-
]lout. Whim folks aro the greatest
hands to change their minds that I ever
seed in my life, and then will say right
up and down that they done so.
Wal I made up my mind as soon as I
heard that they were married that it Was
our duty to give, them a serenadooo.l
spoke to all the boys about it, and they
were as ready for the fun as I was. I
told them all to keep dark so that there
could hello chance for Ben to got wind
of the matter, - and to meet me that night
up by the Bear Camp Bridge at eleven
o'clock, and for each of them; to•bring'an
instrument to play 0n., • Anything that,
world niake a noise would be in demand,
and the louder one the bettor. . •
I was lf.indor afraid all day that some

It want long afiire every one of the

there want a bit of light to be seen, and
we had 'no doubt but what they had
been a-bed two hours, and by this time,
were like as not asleep. If they -were
awake we had no notion of their hearing
us, and so we crept up as close to the
cabin as we could get, and then, without
a word, I ranged my men. Thc. , most
of them I put right under the window
near where I knew the bed stood, and
the rest were seattered about all l'enay
to toot, up, when I y .Penkins should

and the next moment bang went Cy's

" I know you can L get up a band

I was close up under the trindow so

The moinent the band struck up I heard
Ben's feet strike the floor, and heard
lint cry out, in a voice that showed lie

"Polly, Rally! the burying ground

cause I married you, so quick !"
I he ull this intuit, and the boys
made such a noise I could ltear no more ;
so I joined in with them, expecting
every moment to see the door open and
lien come ont, for I thought that he
would discover his mistake in a short
time, but ho didn't, and we kept tooting
away, 'till all at once one of the boys,.
who was round the tipper end of the

They knee-al-in a minute- that I was

THE ENGINEER'S sront
• I am an engineer. Ever since
road was laid, I've traveled it every day,
or nearly every day, of my life.
For a good while I've had the same
engine in charge—the San Francisco—
the prettiest engine on the road, and as
well managed, say it, as the best.
It was a southwestern road, running,
so we Will say, from A to Z. ALA my
good old mother lived ; nt Z I had the
sweetest little wife under the sun, and
baby ; and I always had a dollar or two
put by for a rainy day. I was an odd
kind of a man. Being stint up with an
engine, watching with all your eyes and
heart and soul, inside and out, don't
make a man talkative.
My wife's name was Josephine, and I
called her Joe. Some people call me un
sociable and couldn't understand liow.a
man could feel friendly without saying
ton words an hour. So, though I had a
few friends—dear ones, too—l did not
have so many acquaintances as most peo
ple, and did not care to have. The house
which held my wife and baby was the
dearest spot on earth to me except the
old house that held my mother up at A.
I never belonged to a club,. or mixed
myself tTp: Otri strangers in a'q such way
and neverl should, if it. hadn't .beenfor
Granby. You soo Granby was one of the
share holders, ri handsome, showy fellow.
I liked to talk with him and we were
friends. Ile often rode from Zto A, and
back again with DIP, and once he said :
" You ought to belong to the Scien
tific Club, Cmldea."
"I never heard of it," said I.
" I am a member, - said lie. "We
'meet once a fortnight, and have a jolly
good time: We want thinking men like
you. We have some among •ns 110 W.
I'll propose you if you like."
1 was fond of such things, and I had
ideas that I 'fancied migliti be worth
something. Pat the engineer don't Inure
nights or days to himself, and the
world have our evening a fortnight from
I said :
I will ask her. If slw4ikes it, yes:*
"Ask whom"" saiithe.
"Joe," said I.
"If every man had asked his wife,
every man's wife could have said, ' Can't
spare you my dear,' and we should have
no club at all," said Granby.
But I matle no answer. At, home I
told Joe. She said :
"-I shall miss `you, Ned ; but you do
love such things, and then-if Granby be
longs they must be superior men."
"No doubt," said I.
• "It isn't everybod; \ whO could be
made a member," said Joe. " Why, of
course you must say.ycs,"
So I said yes, and Granby proposed me.
Thursday fortnight I went with him to
the rooms. Thq,,real business of the
evening was the ttuppov, and so it was
every evening,
d'd always been a temperate man. I
actually did not lcnow what effect
would'have on me ; but coming to drink,
more of,,it, than I over had before, at the
club — table, I found, it pot steam on..
After so many 4 glaSses, I wanted to tallc ;
after so many more I did.
I seemed film somebody else, the words
were so ready. My little ideas, came out
and were listened to. I made sharp hits,;
Undulged in repartee ; told stories ;
even came to puns. I beard somebody
sa'y to Granby : "By George, that's a
man worth having. Idhought• him dull
at fluit." Yet I knew - it was Letter to

Don't be afraid, child. I'll never

And I meant it ; but at twelve o'clock
that night I felt that I had forgotten my
promise add my resolution.
I couldn't get home to Joe. I made
up.my mind to sleep on the club sofa,
and leave the place for good the nest day.
Already I felt my brain reel as it nad
never done before. lii an hour I was in
a kind of stupor. It was morning.. A
waiter stood ready to brush mi'dOat.
saw a grin on his face. My heart seemed
ready to burst ; my hand trembled ;
looked at my watch ; I had only just live
minutes to reach the depot I
, Joe's words came to mind. Was I lit
to take charge of an engine? I was not
fit to answer. .I ought to have asked
some .sober man. As it was, I only
caught my hat and nisheil away,- I was
just in time.
The San. Francisco glittered in the
sun. The cars were filling rapidly. From
my post I could hoar the people talking
—bidding each other good-bye, promis
ing to write and cone again. Among
them was an pld geneleman I knew by
sight—one of Ithe shareholders ; he was
bidding two timid girls adieu.
"Good-bye, Kitty—good-bye, Luc" I
heard him say ; "don't be nervous.
The San Francisco is the safest engine
on the line,. and Guelden the most care
ful engineer. I wouldn't be afraid to
trust every mortal I love to their keep
ing. Nothing could happen .wrong with
the two together."
, I said I'll get through it simichow, mid
Joe shall never talk to me again. After
all, it was easy enough. I reeled as I
spoke. I leard r the signal. We were. oil'.

laughed: I heard him say respectfully:
"Of course, Mr °nekton, you know
what you aro about?'
Then I was alone, mid wondering
whether I should gtf faster or slower. I
did something, and the cars rushed on at
a fearful rate. The same man who had.
spoken to me liefore was standing near
me. I heard me question.
How ninny miles an hour were we mak

Suddenly there was a hOrrible roar—a
crash. I was tlung soinewhere. I was
in the water. 13y a miracle I was sobered,
not hurt. I gained ,the shore. I stood
upon the ground between the track and
the river's edge and there gazed at my
work. ,
The engine was-imfragments, the cars
in splinters; dead and dying and wounded
were strewn around—men and women
and children—old age toil tender youth.
There were groans and shreiks of des-
Imir. The maimed cried out in pain ;
the uninjured bewailed their dead ; and
a voice unheard by any other, was in my ,
oar, whispering "711nrdily !"
The news had gone td A, and p s i ple

How did they 'conic on the train?
What chance had brought this about?
No Arno could answer. I groaned, I
screamed, I clasped my hands, I tore my

I called them by name ; there was no

because all these were symptoms of a
reminiscence—signs that ho was going
to be delii:cred of anothm:oais personal
experiences—but I was too slow ; he got
the start on me. As nearly as I can
recollect, the infliction was couched in
the following language :
"We were all boys then, and didn't
cam for nothing, and didn't worry about
nothing,, only to shirk school and keep
up in a rev ivin' state of devilment all the
time. This yer Jim \Voir' was talking

was long, and lank, and bashful ; and
we was fourteen and sixteen, tolerably

old tom cats got to rarin' and chargin'
about it, and carrying on like sin. There
was four inches of snow 'on the roof, and
it was frozen an that Ihere was a right
smart crust of ice on it, and the moon
was shining bright,. and Nl' I' could ,see
them cats like daylight. Firid, they'd
stand off and e-yow pow-wow,. just, the
