THE GOOD WE AI.L MAY DO.
Oh. tho good we all may do,
Whllo the days are going by!
Thero are lonely hearts to cherish,
While the days are going by;
There are weary souls who perish,
Whllo the days are going byl
If a smile wo can ronew,
As our journoy wo pursue;
Oh, tho good wo all may do,
While tho days aro going by!
There's no timo for idle scorning,
Whllo the days aro going by;
Let your bo llko the morning,
Whllo tho days aro going by!
Oh, tho world is full of siglus,
Full of sad and weeping eyo3;
Help your fallen brother rise,
While the days are going by!
All tho loving links that bind U3,
Whilo tho days aro going by;
Ono by one we leave behind us,
Whllo the days aro going by!
But the seeds of good wo sow,
Both in shade and sun will grow,
Ami will keep our hearts aglow,
Whilo the days are going by!
Oh. tho good wo all may do,l
While tho days aro going by!

Uer o£ tlle
InW®torininus,
tho
- IK1 ( f rays of tho
. glittering
lumps,
~ giuoer was
oiling her, and tho fireman, As ho
opened tho luruaoo dour and shoveled
in tho coal, stood out like a red Rom
brandt picture in tho cab against tho
darkness beyond. As tho engineer,
with his oil can, went carefully around
engino No. 80, Juliu Saggart drew his
sleeves across his eyes, and a gulp
came up iu his throat, 110 knew every
joint and holt in that contrary old
engine—tho most cantankerous irou
brute on the road, and yet, if rightly
managed, one of tho swiftest and most
powerful engines tho company had,
notwithstanding the many improve
ments that had been put upon locomo
tives since 86 loft tho foundry.
Snggart, as ho stood thero, thought
of tho seven years ho had put in on
tho footboard of old 80, and of tho
many tricks she had played him dur
ing thut period. If, as tho poet says,
the very chains and the prisoner be
come friends through long associa
tion, it may be imagined how much
of a man's affection goes out to a
raachino that ho thoroughly under
stands and likes—a machine that is
his daily companion for years, in
danger and out of it. No. 86 and
John had been iu many a oloso piueh
together, and at this moment Saggart
seemed to havo forgottou that often
the pinch was caused by tho pure cuss
cdness of 86 herself, and ho romem
bered only that she had bravely done
her part several timc3 when tho situa
tion was exceedingly serious.
Tho cry of "All üboard!" rang out
and was eohoed down from tho high
arched roof of tho great terminus, and
John, with n sigh, turned from his
contemplation of tho engine and went
to tuke his pluco ou tho train. It wus
a long train, with many sleeping cars
at tho end of it, for tho heavy holiday
traffic was on, and peoplo wcro getting
out of town by tho liuudred. Tho
engineer had put away his oil can and
had taken his placo on tho engine,
standing ready to begin the long
journey tho moment tho signal was
given.
John Saggart climbed into the
smoking ourriago at tho front part of
the train. Ho found a placo in one of
the forward Beats and ho sank down
into it with a vaguu feeling of uneasi
ness at being inside a ooach instead of
on the engine. 110 gazed out of tho
window and saw the glittering electric
lights slowly slido behind, theu moro
quickly tho red, green and whito
lights of tho station lamps, aud finally
there flickered swiftly past tho brill
iant constellation of city windows,
showing that tho town had not yet
gone to bed. At last tho Hying train
plunged into the dark, and Saggart
pressod his faco against tho cold glass
of tho window, uuablo to shako off his
feoliug of responsibility, although ho
ltuow that there was auother mau at
throttle.
Ho was arousod from liis rcverio by
a touch on his shoulder and a curt re
quest, "Tickets, plca3e."
Ho pulled out of Lis pocket a pass
and turuc:! to liaud it to tbo conduct
or, who stood there with a glittering
plated aud crystal lantern on his arm.
"Hello, John, is this you?" cried
tho conductor as soon as ho saw the
faco turned toward him. "Hang it,
man, you didn't ncod a pass truveling
with me."
"I know it," sai l the ongincer, "but
they gave it to mo to tako ino home,
and 1 may as well uso it as not. I
don't want to get you iuto trouble."
"Oh, I'd risk tho trouble," said tho
conductor, placing tho lamp on the
Uoor and taking his seat beside tho
engineer. "1 heard about your
worry to-day. It's too cussed bad. If
a muu hud got drunk at his xiost, as
you and I have known 'em to do, it
wouldn't havo seemed so hard, but at
its worst your caso was only an error
of judgment, and then nothing really
happened. Old 8G seems to have tho
habit of pulling herself through. I
snpposo you and sho havo been in
worse fixes tbau that with not a word
saul about it."
"Oh, yes," said John. "Wo'vo been
in many n tight place together, but wo
won't bo any more. It's tough, as you
Hay. I've been fifteen yoara with the
company and seven on old 86, and at
first it comes mighty hard. But I
suppose I'll got used to it."
"Look here, John," said the con
ductor, lowering his voice to a con
fidential tone, "the President of the
road is with us to-night. His private
car is the la6t but one on the train.
How would it do to speak to him? If
you're afraid to tackle him I'll put in
a word for you in - a minute and tell
him your side of the story."
John Saggart shook his head.
"It wouldn't do," ho said. "He
wouldn't overrule what ono of hie sub
ordinates had done, unless there was
serious injustice in tho case. It's tho
new manager, you know. There's
always troublo with a new managor.
Ho sweeps clean. And I suppose he
thinks by bouncing 0110 of the oldest
engineers on tho road he'll scare the
rest."
"Well, I don't think much of him,
between ourselveß," said tho conduc
tor. "What do you think ho has done
to night? He's put a new man on 86
—a man from ono of tho branch lines,
who doesn't know tho road. 1 doubt
if bo's ever been over tho main line
before. Now it's an anxious time for
mo, with all tho holiday traffic moving,
with tho thermometer at zero, and the
rails like glass, and I like to havo a
man in front that I can depend on."
"It's bad enough not to know the
road," said John, gloomily, "but it's
worso not to know old 86. Sho's a
bruto if she takes a notion."
"I don't suppose there's auother
engiuo that could draw this traiu aud
keep her time."
"No. Sho'll do her work all right
if you'll humor her," admitted Stog
gart, who oould not conceal his love
for tho engine, oven whilo ho blamed
her.
"Well," said the conductor, rising
and picking up his luuteru, "tho man
in front may he all right, but I would
feel safer if you were further ahead on
this train than the smoker. I'm sorry
I cau't offer you a berth to-night,
John, hut we're full clear through to
tho roar lights. There isn't oven a
vacant upper ou tho train."
"Oh. it doeßn't matter," said Sag
gart. "I couldn't sleep anyhow. I'd
rather sit here and look out of the
window."
"Well, so long," said the conduct
or. "I'll drop in and seo you as the
night passes ou."
Saggart lit his pipe aud gazed out
into the darkness. Ho knew ovory
inch of tho road—all the up-grades
and the down-grades and tho levels.
Ho knew it oven bettor in tho darkest
night than in the clearest day. Oc
casionally tho blaok bulk of a barn or
a clump of trees showed for one mo
ment Against tho less black sky, and
Saggart would say to himsolf: "Now
ho should shut off an inch of steam I"
or, "Now ho should throw her wido
opon."
The train made fow stops, but ho
saw that they were losing timo—B6
was sulking, very likely. The thought
of the engino turned his mind to his
own fate. No man was of very much
use in the world, after all,, for the
moment ho steps down anothor is
ready to staud in his place. Tho wiso
men in tho city who had listened to
his dcfcuso knew so well that an en
gino was merely a combination of iron,
steel and brass, and that a given num
ber of pounds of steam would got it
over a given number of miles in a
given number of hours, had smiled
incredulously when ho told thom that
uu engino had her tautrums, and that
sometimes sho had to bo coddled up
like nny other female, and that even
when a man did his host there were
occasions when nothing ho could do
would mollify her, and then there wus
sure to bo trouble, although John had
addod, in his dosiro to be fair, that
sho was always sorry for it aftorward,
which remark, to his confusion, had
turned tho smilo into a laugh.
Ho wondered what 86 thought of
tho new man. Not much, evidently,
for she was losing timo which she hud
no business to do on that soction of
tho road. Still, it might bo tho fault
of tho now man not knowing whon to
push her for all she was worth and
when to case up. All these things go
to the making up of time. Still, it
was moro than likely that old 86, like
Gilpin's horse, was wondering more
and moro what thing upon her baok
had got. "Ho'il havo trouble," mut
tered John to himself, "when sho
finds out."
Tho conductor came in again and
sat down besido the engineer. Ho
said nothing, but sat thoro sorting out
his tiokcts, whilo Saggart gnzed out
of tho window. Suddenly tho engi
neer sprang to his feet with his eyes
wido open. Tho train was swaying
from side to side, and going at great
speed.
Tho conductor looked up with a
smile.
"Old BG," ho said, "is evidently
going to make up for lost time."
"She should bo slowing down on
crossing tho G. nndM. lino," answered
tho engineer. "Good heavens!" ho
cried n moment after. "We've gone
across tho G. and M. track on tho
keen jump."
Tho cuuductor sprang to his feot.
Ho kucw tho soriousness of such a
thinrr. Even tho fastest expresses
must stop dead before crossing onithe
level tho line of another railway. It
is tho law.
"Doesn't that jay in front know
enough to stop at a crossing?"
"It isn't that," said Saggert. "Ho
knows all right; even tho train boys
know that. Old 80 has taken the bit
botwoen hor teeth; he can't stop her.
Where do you pass No. G to-night?"
"At Pointsville."
"That's six miles ahead. In five
minutes at this rato we will bo run
ning on her timo and her track. She's
always late, and won't be on tho side
track. I must get to 86."
Saggart quickly made Lis way
throngh the baggage car, climbed on
the express car and jumped on tho
coal of the tender. He cast his eye
up the track and saw glimmering in
the distance, like a faint, wavering
star, the headlight of No. 6. Look
ing down iu the cab he took in the
situation at a glance. Tho engineer,
with fenr in his faco and beads of
perspiration on his brow, was throw
ing bis whole weight on tho lever, the
firemau helping him. John leapod
down to the iloor of tho cab.
"Stand aside," he shouted, and
thero was Fuch a ring of confident
command in his voice that both men
instantly obeyed.
Saggart grasped tho lever, and, in
stead of trying to shut off the steam,
flung it wido open. No. 8G gavo a
quiver and a jump forward.
"You old fiend," muttered John be
tween his clinched teeth. Then ho
pushed the lever home, and it slid
into plaoo as if thero novcr had been
any impediment. Tho steam was shut
off, but tho lights of Pointßville flashed
past them, with the empty side track
on the loft, and they were now flying
along the single line of rails, with the
headlight of No. 6. growing brighter
and brighter in front of them.
"Reverse her ! Reverse her !" cried
the other engineer, with a tremor of
fear in his voice.
"K'verse nothing," Enid Saggart.
"3ho'll Blido ton milos if you do.
Jump if you nro afraid."
Tho man from tho branoh lino
jumped jiromptly.
"davo yourself," eaid Saggart to tho
firemnu. "There's bound to bo a
smash."
"I'll stiok by you, Mr. Saggart,"
said tho fireman, who knew him. But
his hand trembled.
Tho airbruko was grinding tho long
train and Bonding a shiver of fonr
through ovcry timber, but tho rails
wero slippery with tho frost and tho
train was still going very fast. At
tho right moment John reversed the
engine, and tho sparks flow from her
great drivers like a Catharine wheel.
"Braco yourself," cried Saggart.
"No. G is backing up, thank God 1"
Next instant tho crash came. Two
headlights and two cowcatchers went
to flinders, and the two trains stood
thero with horns locked, but with no
great damage done exoept a shaking
up for a lot of a panic stricken passen
gers.
The burly engineer of No. 6jumped
down and enmo forward, his mouth
full of oaths.
"What do you mean, running on
our timo liko this? Hello, is that you,
Saggart? I thought thero was n new
man on to-night. I didn't expoct this
from you."
"It's all right, Billy. It wasn't tho
now man's fault. He's buck in tho
ditch with a broken log, I should say,
from tho way ho jumped. Old 8G is
to blamo. She got on tho rampage—
took advantago of tho greenhorn."
Tho conductor camo running up.
"How is it?" he criod.
"It's all right. No. 8G got her nose
broke, and served her right, that's all.
Tell the passengers there's no danger
and get 'ein on board. We'ro going
to back up to Pointsville. Better send
the brakemnn to pick up the other en
gineer. The ground's hard to-night,
and ho may be hurt."
"I'm going buck to talk to the Pres
ident, said the conductor, emphati
cally. "Ho's in a condition of mind
to listen to reason, judging from the
glimpse I got of his faco at the door of
his oar a moment ago. Either ho re
instates you, or I go gathering tickets
on a street oar. This kind of thing is
too exciting for my nerves."
Tho conductor's interview with the
President of the road was apparently
satisfactory, for old No. 8G is trying
to leud a better life under tho guid
ance of John Saggart.—Detroit Ereo
Press.
Potatoes as Penholders.
"It is surprising," says a commer
cial traveler, "how general tho use of
potatoes as penholders is becoming
in hotels. I have seen them in tlso
in groat hostelries of tho Erst, whoso
owners wouldn't hesitato for a moment
to spend $lO for a desk ornamont to
hold pens used by tho guests in reg
istering. The mixture of starch, glu
coso and water in the potato soems
well adaptod to take up tho impuri
ties of ink, and to keep tho pen-point
clear and bright, whilo tho alkaloid
of tho potato, known as solanine,
doubtless has something to do with it
in tho same lino. These elements
readily tako up tho tonnato of iron,
which is tho body substaneo of ink.
Chemically speaking, starch is tho
first baso of a potato, and sugar or
glucoso is its second base. Thus is
tho humble potato finding another
way in which to serve tho uso of man
kind. There is a rather pleasing sug
gestivenoss iu a big ten-inch potato
when a fellow comes in tired and
hungry from a long run."—New York
Tribune.
11l Days Without Sleep.
William' Jones, a wealthy farmer, re
siding north'of Anderson, Ind., passed
the 111 th day without sleep tho other
evening, one of the most noted cases
of insomnia ever recorded. His sleep
lessness bogan on September 11!, but
really datos back to tho 17th of that
month, as tho only timo that he ha
slept in that period was about half an
hour on tho morning of tho 28d. Ho
has gone without food a part of tho
time, und, notwithstanding thnt ho
has been awake continually, ho docs
not suffer any particular ineonveni
onoe, and is able to bo up and around
his farm. Ho lays down often and
gots rest in this manner. Ho thinks
that tho sleeplessness is brought on
by the uso of tobaoco. Three years
ago he went ninety days without sleep.
He snys he does not think sleep will
como to him for some months yet, but
that it will finally bo foroed on.—Cin

OVER THE SNOW.

Past burdened fields, past wood and

With joyous hope her bosom swells,
And all the world is fair before.
One summer day she chanced to meet
Her escort, near the ocean's tide—
But now ho comes with coursers fleet
f And asks hor to a winter's ride.
Jingle, jingle go the bells,
As off the happy couple startn—•
But only Cupid's record tells
The union there of hands and hearts.
80, let the north winds roughly blow,
Nothing shall cool their deep desire—
For lovo can molt the cold and snow,
( And ndods no outward flame or flrel
Jingle, jingle go the bells,
Until the merry trip is done;
The frosty road no secret tolls
Of two fond hearts that beat as one.

"Be sure you let me know If you over
come to said a pretty little West
>ru woman who had received a good
deal of attention In New York to her
various acquaintances when she bid
them adieu. So when Mrs. Z. decided
to go to California for the wiuter, and
concluded to tako en route, she en
larged considerably to her party akin
tier friendship with Mrs. S. "I am sure
Mollie will do everything In her power
to make It pleasant for us," she said
again and again. "It's so nice to have
some one you know well when you go
to a strange place." So Immediately
on her arrival she sent a note to her
friend, who arrived promptly next
morning and gave her a most effusive
greeting. "Shull you be here long?''
she inquired. "Over Sunday? How
delightful. llow many are there In
your party? Four? O, that Is just it
pleasant number, isn't It? I want yon
all to come," and, as Mrs. Z. listened
exjieetantly for an luvltatlon to a din
ner or some sort of festivity, she con
tinued, "to our pew at St. U.'s Sunday
morning. It Is very large, and there is
plenty of room for you all." Poor Mrs.
Z. bus not yet heard the last of tho
great advantage of knowing her friend,

There is away of looking at a thing that

it in good faith, so when infirmities beset u-,

Perpetual Ice In Virginia.
It wits not long ago reported tlmt a
natural icehouse on u grand scale had
ben discovered under singular circum
stances on the north side of Stone
Mountain, six miles from the mouth of
Stony Creek, in Scott County, Vir
ginia. As the story goes, It appears
that one of the old settlers first diseov
cred it about 1880, but owing to the
fact that the land on which it was situ
a ted could not be bought he refused to
tell its whereabouts and would only
take Ice from it in case of sickness. He
died without revealing the secret to
even his own family, and but for a
party of seng diggers entering the re
gion it might have remained a secret
for generations, as it is situated in an
unfrequented part of tlie mountain.
The lee was only protected from tho
rays of the sun by a thick growth of
moss, resembling that seen dangling
from the oaks of Louisiana and Texas.
Its formation was after the fashion of
a coal vein, being a few inches thick in
some places, while several feet in
others. The formation indicates that
it had been spread over the surface in
a liquid state and then congealed. ly
what process it freezes or was frozen
is a matter of conjecture. Some think
that it was formed in the winter and
had been protected since by a dense
growth of moss which covers it, while
tho more plausible theory is that be
neath the bed is situated a great na
tural laboratory whose function is a
formation of ether, and the process of
freezing goes steadily on through the
heat as well as the cold. The bed covers
ouo acre.—Brooklyn Eagle.
Told by tho Birds.
According to an old superstition, tho
girl who dreams she hears a cuckoo cry
is in danger of losing her lover, if sho
has net already lost him. If a man
dreams of this herald of summer liia
love difficulties will be numerous.
Should lie marry he will become a wid
ower. In England it Is said that if you
si ala robin's eggs your legs will ba
broken- a proverb doubtless evolved
for the edification of mischievious boys.
In some parts of Scotland the song of
the robin is held to augur no good to
the sick person who hoars it, and to
those superstitiously inclined, much
anxiety is sometimes caused when its
notes are heard near a house where any
one happens to bo ill. There is n say
ing that happy is the person on whom
a wren alights; he or she will for a
long time bo lucky in everything. It
is also a groat stroke of good luck if ho
or she sees a wren drop a feather, and
secures it. "Tor quaterquo boati" are
such since they will be happy
until they enter a church, or as some
say till they wrong or deceive any one.
When robins are seeu near houses, and
when sparrows chirp a great deal, then
bo prepared for wet weather. 80 says
a pioco of ancient proverbial philo
sophy, which experience has Bhown is
not very far wrong. To dream that you
see sparrows jumping about your door
step Is a sign of good fortune attending
upon any project that you may set your
mind upon accomplishing.
If misery loves company, we will ail
it least have one tiling we love in hell.
