He did not trH how Mary pinched and sorked, and sal up till lute hours, and struggled to help her family, until in consequence of doctor's hills and baiiics, and poor crops, John was forced to give a mortgage on his house, when her (the father) might have lilted them out ot their poverty.

Henry Andrews, an old engin eeronthe Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway, tells an in teresting story about the capture of his engine when be was pulling a passenger train. His engine was 56, and he pulled out of Nash ville with a full train of passen gers bound for Chattanooga. At Stevenson, Ala., they stopped to wood op, which they had to carry in their arms. They started again, and just before reaching Ander son Station, Jim Wilson, the fire man, who had turned round to get some wood, sung out, “Great Scott! Look at that rattler.” “I jumped,” said tiie engincer,“as he uttered the words,“and to my hor ror saw n tremendous rattlesnake climbing down from the tender with half his body over the plat form. My hair commenced to crowd mv cap off' my head, and for to say I was seared doesn't he gin to express it. Jim gave a ye'.L and when I looked around two seconds later to see what lie was doing.

You’re in there, and there you'if stay un til the day of trial.” It was in vain tiiat Kit pleaded and expostulated, coaxed, and threatened, the deputy was firm, and expressed CTic opinion that the jail was a most proper place for a man nith such a villainous looking countenance.
