Ye are wandering in the shadows. Ye are sighing for the rest; There is darkness in the heavens And the earth is bleak below, And the joys We taste to-day May to morrow turn to woe. Weary hearts 1 God is rest 1 Lonely hearts! lonely hearts! ’Tis but a land of grief; Ye are are pining for repose, Ye are lonelfig for lelief; What the hath never given, Kneel and gsk of God above, And your grief shall turn to gladness, It you lean upon his love. Lonely hearts God is love. Restless hearts ! Restless hearts ! Ye are toiling night and and iv, And the flowers of life all withered, Leave but tfiorns along your way; Ye are waitiag, ye are waiting Till your tolling here shall cease, And your ever restless throbbing Is a sad, sajl prayer for peace. RestUss hearts ! God is peace ! Broken hearts 1 broken hearts 1 Ye are desblate and lone, And low voices from the past O’ev your present ruins moan; In the sweetest of your pleasures There bitterest alloy, And a starless night hath followed On the sunset of your joy. Broken hearts! God is joy. Homeless hearts ! homeless hearts 1 Through the dreary years, Ye are lonely, lonely wanderers, And yonr way is wet with tears; In bright or plighted places, Wheresoever ye may roam, Ye look away from earthland And ye murmur, “Where is home?” Homeless hearts! God is home. ‘‘Going Her Prettiest.” TOM POTTS, THE ENGLISH ENGINEER, TELLS HOW HIS LOCOMOTIVE JUMPED A GAP. [From Ttylor’s slodern Highways.] Tom Pott 8, a well-known locomo tive euginefcr iu England and the States is the self-accredited hero of the following wonderful story or suc cessful daring. I will narrate it as nearly as I can in his own words. I have heard him tell it, often: “Well. goUMhunen, I say you’ll think it’s a lie, but I can’t help that; 3-011 have asked, me to tell it, and all I can say i.", if you'd been in my place you’d have seen it. “I had been driving the Witch for about seve.i months, and a sweet thing she was. I never was half so fond of an engine as I was of her. She was the kind of machine a man only gets once in a liietime. “She tua le her steam quick, was eas}’ on fuel, started off livel}-, and went like a deer. Hr cylinders were 16-inch, her stroke 22, and her drivers 7 f< et 0, and she was as kind to han dle as a baby. “To see lyr run off with a heavy load, light and gay, was enough to shame tne Juno, Venus, and Helen, and other 18-inch machines. She never wanted fixing up. Ve nus was always going in ami out of the shop to be titivated, and if there’s anything 1 don’t like it’s an engine that all the time wants ti? be titivated. She was nlwas ready and willing for work. Why, bless yon ! she was only washed out for the sake of cleanliness —she didn’t need it a bit. “She was the tidiest thing I ever seen—seemed as though dirt wouldn’t stick to her. # “Well, what I am going to tell came off years ago, before I 1 ft the old country, and it was one of the best railroads—single track then, though it’s got three now, and four in some spots. “Well, the Witch and I were put on the mail, one of the fastest trains, and they went like sixty in them days. “The engineer was fined a shilling for every minute he lost. He dared not go slow for fog, unless he wanted to lose his day’s pay. He had to keep going right along, and see things be fore lie got iu sight of ’em. “We were running north one dark ish wintry day, and were making our best streaks. I should recon we were going about fifty miles an hour. “I was saying to myself, ‘she’s go ing her prettiest,’ when we suddenly shot ahead, as if we had beeu fired out of a caunon. “I knew what that meant. We had broke loose, we hadn’t a car behind us. The coupbng had broken be tween the tender and the first coach. “How we flew, to he sure ! I whistled tiie guard to break up the train. How we bounded along! “I could make out no pbji cts along side; we must have got as fast as 100 miles an hour. “It was a straight piece of track for some miles. I did not shut off steam directly we broke, for I didn’t want the train to ruy into 11s, which might linppen if they did not hear me whis tle for breaks. “It was lucky I kept, her going, for just as I had had about enough of such flying, a man started out about six hundred yards before us, holding a red flag.* “There was nothiug in the way, so I knew something must he wrong with the track. “You might as well have tried to stop a whirlwind as the Witch in that distance. Her speed was frightful. “There wasn’t much time to think, and as we could not stop, the faster we went the bettor; so I gave what more steam there was. She seemed to have some ‘go’ in reserve, for we shot past the red flag like a flash. “I saw men standing horror-struck. “Bill” I said, ‘quick ! Get on the coke, and see what’s ahead. “He looked and went deadly pale, tottered and fell back in a faint. “By this time I could see plain enough what was wrong. “There was a gap in the track where a bridge had gone down. “You can’t imagine my feelings just then. Going to death—death, swift, and terrible, at about two miles a minute—getting nearer, near! I thought of my wife and child—nearer! An instant more—the gap! “God have mercy,’ I shrieked. “Well, would you have believed it? that engine just cleared that gap ! It was 11 fteen feet across, and about sixty feet deep. “She jumped that gap like a stag, and what’s more, she struck the rails all right on the other side and kept right, along, just as if she had not no ticed the gap. “I stirred Bill up, and, with both of us at the brake, we managed at last to stop the Witch. “She was on a tear that day, but I never dreamed she’d jump the gap— that’s a fact.” Dickens’ Advice to his Son. Never take a mean advantage of any one in an} 7 transaction, and never be bard upon people who are in your power. Try to do to others as you would have them do to 3-011, and do not be dircouraged if they should fail in obeying the greatest rule laid down by our Saviour than that 3-011 should, i put a New Testament among your books for the very same reasons that made me write an account of it for you when you were a littie child, be cause it is the best book that ever was or ever will be known in the world, and because it teaches you the best les sons by which any human creature, who tries to bj truthful and faithful to duty, can possibly be guided. As your brothers have gone away, one by one, I have written to each one such word as I am now writing to you aud have entreated them to guide them selves by this book, putting aside the interpretations and inventions of man. You will remember that you have nev er at home been harrassed about re ligious observances, or mere formali ties. I have always been anxious not to weary my children with such things before they are old enough to form opinions respecting them You will therefore understand the better that I must now solemnly impress upon you the truth and beauty of tiie Christian religion as it came from Christ himself, aud the impossibility of goi g far wrong if yon humbly but heartily respect it. Only one thing more on this head. Tiie more wo are in earnest as to feeling if, the less we are disposed to hold forth about it. Never abandon the wholesome prac tice of saying 3-0111- own private pray ers, night and morning. I know the comfort of it. I hope you will always be able to say in after-life that 3-011 had a good father. You cannot show your affection for him so well or make him so happy, as by doing }-our duty. ggr The Chattanooga Times says 11 young man in that city, while call ing upon a young lady on the Avenue, became deeply interested in the study of astronomy. In order to p >int out to the lady the exact location of the comet, it was necessary to draw up very close to her so as to get her eyes on a range with his, as it were. Just as lie had almost succeeded in show ing her where the new luminary was, his arm delicately dropped around her waist. She disengaged it with move force than he thought was necessary, and sharply observed, “You can’t comet over me in that way, sir!” Singular as it may seem, that young man has entirely lost his interest in the study of astronomy. For pure grit an i a long-con tinued patience 3-011 want to go to Tolodo. A young lad}- iu that town has sent one hundred and sixteen pie ces of poetry to a newspaper, and though all have beeu rejected she is struggling with another. $2.50 A YEAR. A Touching Incident. We heard a story told the other day, that made our eyes moisten. We have determined to tell it, just as we beard it, to our little ones: A company of poor children who had been gathered out of the alleys and garrets of the city were preparing for their departure to new and dis tant homes in the west. Just before the time of starting on the Cars, one of the boys was noticed aside from the others and appeared very busy with a cast off garment. The superintendent stepped up to him, and found that he was cutting a small piece out of the patched linings. It proved to be bis old jacket, which, having been re placed by anew one, had beeu thrown away. There was no time to be lost. “Gome John, come,” said the super intendent, “what are you going to do with that old piece of calico ?” “Please sir,” said John, “I am cut ting it to take with me. My dear mother put the lining into this old jacket for me. This was a piece of her dress, and it is all I have to re member her by.” And as the poor boy thought of that dear mother’s love, and of the sad death-scene in the old garret where she died, he covered his face with his hands and sobbed as if his heart would break. But the train was about leaving, and John thrust the little piece of calico into his bo som to remember his mother by, hur ried into a car and was soon far away from the place where he had seen so much sorrow. We know many an eye will moisten as the story is told and retold throughout the country, and a prayer will go to God for the fatherless and motherless in all great cities and places. Little readers are your mothers still spared to you ? Will von not show your love by obe dience? That little boy who loved so well, surely obeyed. Bear in mind that if you should one day have to look upon the face of a dead mother, no thought would bo so bitter as to remember that you had given her pain by your wilfulness and disobe dience.— Exchange. How to tell a Mad Dog. A genuine case of hydrophobia, even in the dog, is a very rare occur rence. But when the disease does manifest itself, its symptoms are marked and easily defined, and to one who has given the subject any atten tion there should be no mistake con cerning a proper diagnosis. The trouble is that to persons of superfi cial observation an epileptic fit—very common among dogs—may be mista ken for hydrophobia. The dog, when suffering from an attack of epilepsy— a sure guaranty that he is not mad— runs about wildly, staggers, falls down, regains his feet, toddles about mechan ically, froths at the mouth (which is another positive indication that he is not mad, for a mad dog never froths at the month,) and, as if entirely de prived of sight, runs against anything in his way. With the mad dog the case is entirely different. He drivels, at the mouth, is possessed of perter natural strength, and never staggers or falls except to die. He does not bite mankind, but rather avoids soci ety. He takes long journeys of thir ty or forty miles to vent his restless desire for motion. When journeying he does not walk or run, but proceeds in a slouching manner—a kind of trot. His aspect is dejected.—His appear ance is very characteristic, and if once seen can never afterward be mistaken. Cincinnati Gazette. Good Advice All the young wcftoen in tho coun try would do well to heed the words nf Bishop Foster, addressed to the graduating class of the Wesleyan Fe male College in Cincinnati. He said: Learn your obligations to the past; he careful of the present, and prepare yourself, for the great future is before you. Tho reign of brain has come. Though you may not be found on the battle-field or at the ballot-box, you can build up the future by building up the men. You live in a particu larly exciting time, when you have placed in opposition to you one of the greatest of vices, and you women will conquer if all of those of your sex who are real women will combine. Beware of coxcombs and libertines. They are fools, whether they know it or not. By your conduct toward them send them from your presence. Re serve your hearts and love for men. Bo not what is known as a “fashiona ble” woman. There is nothing so foolish as such a woman, and none but fools admire her.
