"Winn my name is world renownnl," Mghs the poet, and his heart Hums with all the wild unrest Which ambition can impart. "When I'v wedded her I lew," Sighs thc.Inwr, fond and true, While n picture bright as morn Comes heforc nis mental miw. "When my loc comes hack to me," Siihs the maiden, and her thought To Iit f.icc a 1 iirnini' bluth And a happy smile has brought. "When I grow to bu n man," Thinks the hoy with kindling eje; For his heart some purpose holds Which, to him, is grand and high.

"For wo lived in a littlo house cloto hy the station, and when I heard tlio whis tlo of 1i!h fnthor'H train, I lined to enatcli the lxiy from his cradle or off the lloor where he pat with his littlo playthings, nnd run down to tho farther end of the long (It'iH)t where tho engine nlwiiyH IiuIUmI, to it tho smile and loving word Hiflt my heart lived on all day." "Not tho least bit nfrnid nn tlie haby of nil tho whistling and clanging of Ix-lle, tho groaning of tho wheels and puffing of thoHteam. Ho would laugh nnd spring no in my anus that 1 could warcoly hold him, till hin father would reh down nomotimcH and lift him up into tho engineer'rt cah and kiss him for ono piveioiiH ininuto and then to-w him down to mo again." "When ho grow a littlo older ho was novor playing horr-o or soldiers like tho other littlo fellows around: it was always a railroad train that he was dining.

Such nn odd child ns ho was, with thoughts far bcynnd hisyenr-' 'Sometime, sitting heio by myself, I go over in my mind the very "tinngo things he used to tay to mo in thoso day". "I lemeinbnr that oho evening ho had been loading for a long timo in some book that ho had got out of tlio public libr.uy ; but by-and-by he stopped rind leaned his head on his hand, looking into the coals. Then, all at onto. "Ofothei,' said ho.'isn't ita wonderful thing that God could trust men with it?'' "'With what, Jack?' "'With the steam the power in it, I mean! It was a long time befoic He did. But when the light timo came, nnd then he told. " 'O, mother1' snid ho, with his eyes shining, 'wli.it must it have been to be James Watt, and to lihten to such a se cret as that?' "'Ina minute ho spoko again! " 'And it's never safe to foigot to listen. bocauM) we don't know whon Ho might peak, or what there might bo to hear!' "I could not answer him for a chok ing my in tlnoat.but I luid down my knit ting and I put my aim mound him ;nnd lie looked up into my faco with some thing in his eyes that I never forgot. "We were getting on well then. The littlo house and garden weio almost paid for, and we thought that now heio in the world wci-3 happier people than wo, or a brighter, cosier home. My IiusImikI unit I weio always talking of this and that to bo done for Jack as soon as tlio last payment should bo made. Hut befoio the money was duo my husband camo home veivhick ono dav." "Do not be frightened, Mtuy," ho said, "I think I shall be better, to-morrow." "Hut ho only grow worse noxt day. It was a lung fover that he had, and for many days wo thought ho must die. Yet iio rallied after a time though ho kept liis hacking cough and sat up and moved about tho house, and at last thought himself strong enough to toko his placo again." "llut Unit was too much, for at tho end of tho first week ho camo homo and fell, fainting, on the threshold," "It's of no ueo Mary," ho said, after ho camo to himsolf. "I can't run tho en gine, und if I could, it isn't right for lHioplo's lives to lx trusted to such weak hands as mine!" "Ho never did nny regular work after that, although ho survived for it yoar." "Consumption is a terrible disoase, sir! To soo one that you would givo your" heart's blood to save, slipping away before your eyes, and you helpless to hold him hack by so much as a hair's breadth from the black gulf of death ; ah, sir! 1 ti list you havo never learned how hard it was. 'Young as ho was, Jack was my-stny and eomfoit through that dm 1; time. My hH)r husband had matters in bib mind that ho longed to speak to me. about, but 1 always put him oil', for 1 could not listen to anything like Ins going away from us. "IttiJ at lust, the veij t,iv befoie the end came, as 1 sat by his bed holding his hand to mine, ho said very gently, but lit inly "'Mary, wife, I think you must let me sp(ak to you today." "1 fell to eiyingasif my hem t would break, and ho diew n pitiful sigh that went liken swoul through my breast; yell could not stop the sobs. Then Jack ne up fiom tho little stool where he sat. so iiuetly that 1 had almost for gotten ho was there, and came and touched me. " Mothei ' dear mother'" ho said ; nnd as 1 looked 1 saw his face was poifivtly white, but theio weio no tears in his e, oh. '"Mother" ho said; again, 'plcnsogo away, for a little while. 1 can't hear what father wants to sav.' ' You wlil think me cowardly,' ir, but I did as tho child bade mo. 1 loft tho door ajar, and 1 oould hear niv hus band's weak voice, though 1 oould not understand the words, and then my bravo Kiy's answeis, clear and low; not a break or tremble in tho swoet voice". And at hist Jack said "Is that all, dear father!" and, 'Yes, I will bo sure to rouiiHibcr it every word ' " "Then ho camo out and kissed mo with a smile, mid went through tho out diKir ' lint mi hour afterward, when I went out to tho well, I heard a littlo choking sound, and found him lying on his faeo in the long grass under tho applo troo, seibbing bis very heart away. So I turned ftlxmt and went into Iiio'Iichmi as softly as I could, and never let him know. "After it was all over mid wo had timo to kvk alniut us, wo fouud some debts left nnd very littlo money. It whs a bad thing for me, that had for so long . atrong, loving arm between me and every are, to think ami phn hovy to tuako both ends meet, whon "I 'could not owi stmt oculyit tlie leginning. llut Jack came to my help gaiu. "Father kiuI that you wore never to woik haul, dear mother, Uvaust vou were not stfong, but that I must take care of you in borne way. He thought you could let two or threo rooms to lodgers, maybe, and that the best thing for me just now would be to get a train boy's place. He slid the men on our road would bo sure to givo mo a chance Wor his sake.' , "I do not know that Thau smiled be fom since his father died, but whon I heard him say 'our road,' in that littlo proud tone ho had, I caught hinito my heart nnd we laughed and cried to gether. " 'And I spoko to Mr. "Withers about it only yesterdry, ho went on, 'and ho said Tom Gray is going to leave, and I can have hU "chance and begin next week, if I like. "What do you sny dear mother?' '"Oh Jack I I said, 'how can I get through the long lonesome days with out you? And if anything shoulil hap pen to vou I should die!'' " Don't mi tiii-i!' he said, gently, for the teais were in my eyes again, tint I would not lieed.him " 'And you to give up your school! I cried ; 'and all our plans for you tojnotr come to naught!' j "With a little more coaling, Jnk set " 'Father thought of that too.' bo nn-iolT with him. I had baldly heord the swered; 'but he said that tho whole world belonged to the man that was faithful and truo; and I piomised him. You can triM me, mother!' "Trust him? Ah, yos! ho had struck the right chord at Inst, and I lifted my head and dried my tears. Whatever unseen danger I might fenr for my boy would be of the body, not for tho soul. 'Faithful and true!" I thanked God and took couraee. It was wondeiful how ho succeeded with the books and papers, and other things he sold. Theio was something in him that mndo hun a favorite with everybody. I have been told by more than one that tho sierlit of his frank. hnndsome face was like sunshine, and that people bought of him whether they wanted anything or not. "Well, tho years wont by, and he grew up working his way from one position to another on the load trusted overy wheie. Ho was my own boy still, though ho was bo tall and strong, with his bright cuils turned chestnut brown, and a silken fringe shading tho lips that kept their old, loving kisses for mo alone. "It w as not long before ho had tho place ol engineer, which ho had wanted so long. He had a day olT, and was doing some littlo things for mo about the house und garden, when ono of thodepot hands came running up tho path calling for him. "'Mr. Hauling wants you instantly, Jack!' cried tho man. 'Tlio Jeisey ex press should have left the depot five minutes ago, and tho engineer hns just fell down in a lit. Curtis and Fitch are both off on leave, and Mr. Harding says there's nobody left but you that ho will trust with the train., " 'I!' cried Jack, in amaze. 'Tho Jer sey express! And I nover drove any thing but a freight train !' "'Well I' cried the man impatiently, 'Don't stop to argue! Orders is orders and horo is a minute and a half gone ulreaily!' "Jack sceiuod to come to himself at that. Ho darted one smile at mo and was off liko a shot, drawing on his coat as he ran. In less time than I take in telling it I hoard tho signal of tho out going train, and knew that my boy was trusted with a, task that was used to bo given only to tho most intelligent ami careful men in the service. "They brought him back to mo that night, sir, and laid him on his father's bed; nnd by piecemeal, and then aftor w arils, I learned what had happened that day. "Tho tiain started out so Into they woie foiced to make up timo somewhero on tho line. So on that long stroight stretch of Hack tlnough fie valley, they weie making sixty mites an hour. The train faiily Hew. Jack could feel tho air stnkohU faco like a shnip wind, though it w.ih a balmy spring dav. "Then an awful tiling happened' The gieat connecting rod of tho driving wheel on the tight of the engine bioke. Jack se'cmed to live all his life over in that one teiiiblo instant when he saw the cud of tho rod swing upwaid. It struck the cab under him and dashed it into a thousand pieces, mul he knew no more till a honible agony awoke him whcie ho had fallen senseless on tho engine. Km nod and nlmot blind, with the llesh scalded and toin from his hands, be remembered his engine with.its open throttle, Jeupiiig on to certain destruc tion. Ho seemed to see the passengers inside the long train, as so many times in the old days when he called the morn ing papers through the cars. "He knew how thoy looked and what they were doing, smoking, talking of tho elections, the price of grain or how stocks went up last week ; women, with crowing, dimpled babies in their arms; little chihlren crowing to tho windows, vainly trying to count tho whizzing tele graph jwhs; young happy people going on wedding journey, maybe, and others coming homo who had been very long away. "Ho remembered that, as ho hurried to his place ut the front, that day, n littlo girl with a cloud of golden hair had ics-uied from a cur window, to givo one more good bye kij to her father on tlie platform. 'Take ged care of mamma, darling I" ho had heard the gentlemun say. "The fuvmau no coward, either, was Tim Harbrook, with wife and babes at houii- -let liimsoH down from tho tender and escaped, iso might my Jack have done. llut he crept along the tddo of the leaping engine, carefully und pain fully ho swung himself into his place, and with every motion of hi luinds an untoldjigony, ho reversed tho engino mid putou tho air brake, "Then Hid twin. toprd, snatched back from th pit's mouth, and they took lily boy from his pot 'faithful and true'' "It was a long time before Jack's burns were healed. The road people came often to see him no men could be kinder and every week his wages came in lull. "But ono evening, after he had begun to get out a littlo, oncvof his mates came in. '"Come, Jack, old fellow, you'll bo moped to death heio!' ho said. 'You want a change. Thcro's a big meeting of tho road-folks over at the hall to night. I'm just on my way. Come along!' " 'What sort of a meeting!' said Jack. " 'Oh, I can't say exactly something interesting, they told me, imd eveiybody invited.' "Ho stole a epicer look at me, and I knew ho wanted mo to help him. So, as I really thought it might do Jack good, I said : '' 'Yes, Jack, go along v ith Tom.' "'But I'm not presentable with this face I' "'I'fc-lifni' ,i , I ,l' n,.i1n,o. onil ,11- ibody'll . ......,, .. . .V , l..llh1 .... ..v notice. leastways, they need gate click, when tho door ripened again, and Jennie Blown came in like a sprite. ." 'Quick 1 quick! Mis. Uuiton ! I'ut on your bonnet,' she whispeied. " 'Where? What do you mean V I said, for I was frightened. '"To tho meeting ! Hurry, or wo shall be too lato 1' "Sho was tying my bonnet strings untlor my chin ns she bpokc; and she had the house door locked and mo down tho garden path, and out of the back gate fairly without my will. She hur ried mo across tho square, nnd then pushed mo through tho crowd around tho hall entrance. "I was out of breath with ncivousncRs anu iasi waiKing, so we sat down in a back seat. The room was full. There was a great many ladies there, and on tho platform sat the Superintendent and several of tho Directors of the road. Everybody seemed to be whispering and looking bickwards towards tho door, and I lookpd, too, although I did not know why. "Then tho door opened, and Jack camo in with Tom. I heard somebody on the other side of mo whisper, 'That's ho !' and another and another, and u rustle crept through the place, nnd then, nil at once, such a cheer went up as, I can truly say, I never heard in all my lifo before no, not even when tho tioops camo homo from the war. Tho people stood up, and the ladies waved thoir handkerchiefs. "The Supcrintciulont tried to speak, and rapped on his little tablo, but all in vain, until the crowd had their three times three. "And through it all I watched my boy. He looked around him, dazed at first by all tho tumult, and trying to see what H moant ; wherever be might turn his eyes ho met a hundred others smiling on him, and a score of hands stretcheil out to him as ho passed and all at once he knew ! "O sir, I cannot tell you about it! How they carried him up to the front, though not on tlio platiorm there lie would not go how they found me out and made me sit beside him; how thoro were speeches and hand shakings and laugh ing and crying. "And at last the bunerintandcnt said that thoro was a little child there, the grand-dnughter of tho President of the road, who hud been with her mother on the train that day, and that she had been selected by mam' grateful friends to pre sent u nine lOKen 10 mo mnn wnose faithful courage had saved bo many lives. "Thon a beautiful lady, all in soft. rustling silk, came up the aisle, leading tho loveliest chi'd I ever saw. with a great glory of golden hair around her head, liko tho picture of an angel. I-snw lack start, lor it was tho very child whoso face had come to him in that aw ful momont on the Hying engine. 1 he little thing let go her mothers hand as sho came near, looking up with shy blue eyes, and in her small fingers was a puiso of gold. You could seo the great coins shining through the silk net ting. Sho held it up to him and all the room was still ns death. I hoard ono great sob i iso in my Iwy's throat, and then he lifted the child in his arms, and tood up, holding her stiaight and tall. "But he dul not take the pure. 'Xo, darling !' he said, in a low, tender voice, so clear that evoryliody heard. Then ho kissed her and lifted one long cuil from her neck. " This is. tho only gold I want,' he said, and looked at tho child's mother with a question in his eyes. "Tlio lady nodded and my boy took out a littlo pair of scissors from his vest pocket and cut tho hair oil' gently ami put it carefully away. 'And, sir, if they had cheered before, what was it now? The arched ceiling rang, tho gas-jets flared nud dickered, and tho very iendauts on the chande liers dashed together. "Hut he would not take tho money then nor afterwards. " 'It is not ours. What can we do with it? Wo cannot throw it away,' the Su perintendent said. u 'I'll tell you, then, sir !' said Jack, at last Mlrakeman Jim Flaherty was killed bust week. He left a wife anil six littlo children. Give the money to them.' And so they did. "Now you know, sir, what the scars on my boy's faco mean to me.

A Vermont evlitor in publishing one of Byron's poems changed the words, "Oh, gods'" to 'Oh, gosh'" becue-e the former was too profane for his leadens.

A physician who is a vestryman in a country church was cnllod upon to sug gest a remedy for reducing tho swell of the new organ which had been purchas ed, and which drowned the minister's "amen." The wretched man prescribed arnica. He had always used that for reducing organ swelling. A darkoy on a l'ecano plantation, not long since was much tried by the ob stinacy of a mule. After much urging and kindness to the brute, he broke out with, "Look hyar, now! niebbe you think 'cause I jined the church last Sun day that I can't use big words; but I'll hab you know I'm gwine to make a 'ception in your special case." A Norristown married man can heav ily discount Vennor as a prognosticator. When the former starts for home at 1 o'clock in the morning he always pre dicts a "storm" within an hour, and never made a miss but once ; and then he found his wife sound asleep when he reached home.

"Well, sah. nil dat I had was insido of me, and I had so much dat I couldn't carry it away, bo I jess stayed dar."

"Do tho childien fool bet ter?" "Peihaps not." "Did your hits-, bind get lid of his cough?' "Oh, no." "Then, to sum the whole thing up, did you really gain am thing by going?" "Certainly wo did. My husband made friends with a man fiom Iowa and got him to sign a note with him for 1,000. I should say we did gain'" Two well-known ancient worthies of a Veimont town sat down together in the local tavern after enduring tho labors and excitement of a day nt muter, and as tho weather was sultry both removed their hats. Both weie full, but while ono was bald-headed the other lojoiced in plenty of hirsuto adornment. Finally the latter commenced to grin, and tlie former testily inquired what he was laughing at. "I was laughing," he an swered, "to see the flies trying to get on top of your head. They can't do it. They slip kick every time. "Humph!" returned the other. "Xot much danger of tliat on your head.
