tracery. A skilled artist was fifteen
years in constructing it.
In the wedding procession it was
carried under a silken canopy on a
palanquin borne by youth of noble
birth. The fair bride followed in a
palanquin guarded by twelve virgins,
and twelve matrons.
A military guard and a civic pro
cession made up the cortege. Many
bushels of the small coin called “cash,”
800 of which equal an American dollar,
were thrown to the populace. A ban
quet was served to the common people
in the public square. The theatres
were thrown open free to the public.
Kites were flown and fire-crackers dis
charged for three days.
The bride was escorted to the home
of the parent’s of her betrother. The
vase is set up in her boudoir. She
will remain all her life in the palace
of her father-in-law, the vice chance
lor. This custom of the Chinese is of
great antiquity and legend attributes
its origin to an empress who ruled be
fore the Christian era. Her imperial
liege had died and she succeeded to
the throne. A fierce Manchurian came
a-wooing. The empress, wise beyond
the run of her sex, feared to divide
her throne with the warrior from the
north for fear that she would lose her
half, invoked her counselors, and they
evolved the theory that the spirit of
the departed had taken up lodging in
the lilies of the royal gardens, and
that by culling them from day to day,
and placing them in a sacred vase
which must be placed upon the throne
he would ever be by her side.
A marriage to the spirit in the flow
ers was deemed necessary. The wed
ding was solemnized with great pomp.
The Manchurian went away, but came
back with an army, but the empress
set out an army of 50,000 men armed
with gongs, cymbals, firecrackers and
stink pots and placed it under the com
mand of her spiritual spouse, the sa
cred vase being carried to the field.
The Manchurians were defeated and
driven back to the land of snow and
the marriage to the Red Vase became
a Chinese institution from that time
on. It can only be solemnized, how
ever, with the imperial sanction.

THE YOUNG ENGINEER.
It was on the eastern Division of
the Erie Railroad several summers ago
—before the discovery of the air
brake. The morning was foggy; the
engineer could see but little way

ahead, unless when the mist opened
and permitted the track to be seen
for a short interval. We were on a
down grade and going as fast as was
safe in order to make up for time lost
in climbing up grades. Engineer
Charlie Ware was a cool, brave young
fellow but with a tender heart in his
broad, manly breast. He was on the
watchout, giving all care, and attention
to his duty.. The impossibility of see
ing the rack clearly made a furrow
of anxiety on his handsome forehead
as he stood holding the cord leading to
the whistle in one hand, ready at an
instants’ warning, to sound the alarm
for applying the brake. With the
other hand he firmly grasped the re
versing lever, ready to throw the ma
chinery into backward motion at a sec
ond’s notice.
Suddenly he grasped the cord with
a convulsive jerk, the whistle gave
the sharp, startling note of alarm.
“Child on the track!” rang out in
tones thrillingly suggestive of immi
nent peril.
There it stood —a sudden opening of
the fog showed the tiny, white-clad
figure standing right ahead upon the
track, looking in unconscious pleas
ure at the terrible death bearing down
upon it. The shrill scream of the
whistle failed to alarm it: It was too
young to understand the awful peril.
Vain were all efforts to stop. The
rails were wet and slippery, the down
grade was considerable; all the sand
in the sand box had been exhausted;
not a grain left. In vain the brake
men strain at their brakes with des
perate energy; the weight and mo
mentum of the loaded train bear it
on with a force no power could stay
in time to save the life of the child.
The fog lifts and shows a cottage
by the roadside; a pretty, girlish young
woman, dressed in black, is standing
on the porch. All at once she sees
the child —her child as we soon know
by the agony of the wild shrieks that
rend the air. Still the child stands
there; still the train bears down up
on it, it will be crushed before her
eyes.
What is that Charlie is doing? The
young engineer leaves his post; he
runs swiftly on the side of the loco
motive, steps down on the cow-catch
er, and while in a crouching posture,
holding firmly with one hand to the
iron bar forming the pilot’s center, he
reaches forward with the other, he
grasps the child by the arm, lifts it

up from the track and holds it safe in
his arms, a minute later he steps from
the still moving locomotive, and puts
the t child into the arms of the kneel
ing, half fainting mother.
She clasps it to her breast, covers
it with kisses. Then she raises those
soft brown, tear-swimming eyes to
Charlie Ware, and he reads their deep
est grattitude and tender, remorseful
appeal. Those eyes not only thank
him* for the priceless gift of her
child’s life but they implore him to
forgive her girlish caprice that trifled
with his true heart five years ago.
The next week invitations were issued
to the wedding of the handsome engin
eer and the brown-eyed widow —
mother of the little maiden whom
Charlie had so gallantly rescued.

THE HOME OF THE PIONEER.
The story of the Pioneer
I heard when but a child;
How from old England’s shores they
Came
Across the ocean wild.
They landed on a shore so fair
To it they gave the name
“Virginia” from their virgin queen,
Os world-wide power and fame.
They built rude huts for shelter first,
Cut down each forest king;
Broke up the soil, planted the seed,
That needed food should bring.
Later they built log-cabins strong,
And through their loop holes fought
The savages, whose midnight yell
Fear to brave spirits brought.
In every home the word of God
Was found upon the shelf,
They read it nightly and ’twag prized
More than all worldly pelf.
Worship was held within each home,
And fervent song and prayer
Went up from woman, man and child
Upon the evening air.
Those men of strong and steadfast
minds
Talked by each household fire
Os God’s great plan, mankind to raise
And bid his soul aspire;
If in the mansion of today
Such service might be heard,
Better ’twould be than dance or play
Or idle, wicked word.
