Ring out their music clear.
"Aye, thank the Lord (or our good speed
Across the doubtful seat" - -
Fooir sneered the captain, "thank thyself;
God holds no helm for thee."
The pilot c roswed his breast, and cried.
"God pardon thee once more.
And grant that we may safely come
Unto the Cornish shore. r
captain's oath was ou his lios.
Or ever the sun went down.
And while the peoplethronged the cliffs
Above the harbor town,
A mighty wave swept o'er the sea.
With doll and nullen roar;
The good ship trembled all her length
As she sank to rise no more.
Then o'or the whelming waters pealed .

Strange Railroad Track by Night."
. "Funny, isn't it, what daredevil acts
railroad men will often do?" asked a
' little traveling man of a few friends as
he dropped into one of the Grand Pacific
rotunda chairs.
' "lies, something like trying to run
two trains on the same track or trying

mer. "Ho, 1 mean in the ordinary course of
"business. The other day 1 started for
'Washington and 1 had a premonition
that the trip was not to be of the best,
tot on the way to the depot I purchased
pocket comb of a street vender, who
gave me a quarter too much change.
We got as far as Auburn Junction and
it was awful dark, when the station
agent informed us that there . was a
wreck between ua and Defiance, O.
later he said there were two wrecks
and that three men had been killed. The
debris was piled so high upon the tracks
that it would take the wreckers hours
to clear them. ' I saw our conductor and
engineer in -lose conversation.
'Suddenly the conductor said, 'Bill,
there is nothing left us but to run around
on the Wabash tracks to Defiance.'
'But the Wabash has no operator
"here to give us orders.' answered the en
gineer. r
" 'Oh; m cut you off and we'll turn
the engine around at the roundhouse
table and make our way over the four
teen miles of strange track. As long as
your headlight shows up you can creep
over the rood, can't vou?
"The kniirrit nf trio tSmttlo noa

United States mail was being delayed
and a couple of hundred passengers were
angrily demanding that the trainmen do

' yon,' he said, and the engine went down
to the . turntable to turn around. Upon
coming - back it was discovered that it
would be impossible to couple her to the
hind end of our train; as the sleeper draft
irons were of a different pattern and
higher than the coupler of the engine.
Another pause for deliberation. ' '
"Finally the conductor advised the
engineer to go back, turn around and
couple on in the original position.
'We'll just cross over on the spur and
back up the fourteen miles.' - And we
did. That stretch of fourteen miles on
a night as dark as pitch, over an un
known road, without a headlight and
withJSOO passengers unaware of the risk
the trainmen were running to accommo
date them and well, 1 tell you it was
exciting. No orders, no nothing, as you
might say. x .
"1 stood "on the hind end, which was
then the fore end, with the conductor
and four brakemen, as we slowly dragged
our way through the darkness. The
flagmen carried red lanterns and torpe
does to run ahead and flag should a
train be heard approaching, but it was
dollars to butternuts that had a head
light appeared around one of those un
known curves no one of our train could
have reached the approaching train in
time to prevent her from crashing into
our train. I ve done a little railroading
in my time and have taken a train over
some risky places, but that : fourteen
miles of backing up without orders,

ties were formerly, found in the metallic
state, just as we find it now in the neigh-

Death la a Big Cityi ; -The
shadows of metropolitan life could
scarcely have a more ghastly flrostra
taon than in the case of the corpse of the
old man at a Greenwich street window
staring into the windows of the elevated
cars for two days, the butt of the train
men's Christmas time humor. ; A little
while"hef ore was .the killing and man
gling ox anotner man on the elevated al
most immediately opposite a window
where sat his wife and - child looking in
nocently out ana wondering who it was
being carried away under the protecting
blanket.. . "". - .
We are wont to look upon the extraor
dinary situations created by the novelist
and playwright with satirical . severity,
bnt the pen of Sue, Dumas, Dickens and
of a host of imitators never conjured up
from imaginations vivid with research
and practical observation a more pa
thetically impressive picture than is pre
sented in the dead man at the Greenwich
street window. . Yet such things are so
common in New York that they are
swallowed np in the great maelstrom of
metropolitan events forgotten in a day.
