My dear, dumb friend, low lying there,
A willing vassal at my iset,
Glad partner of my homo and fare,
My shadow in the street.
1 look into your great brown eyes,
Where love anil loyal homage shine,
And wonder where the difference lies
Between your eoul and mine I
For all of good that I have found
Within myself or human kind
Hath royally informed and crowned
Your gentle heart and mind.
I scan the whole broad earth around
For that one heart which, leal and true,
Bears friendship without end or bound,
And find the prize in yon.
I trust you as I trust the stars;
... K,i arTie! loss, nor scoff of pride,

- Can move you from my side I
Ag patient unde • injury
As any Christian saint of old,
As gentle as a lamb with me,
But'With your brothers bold.
More playful than a frolic boy,
More watchful than a sentinel,
By day and night your constant joy
To guard and please me well.
I clasp your head upon niy breast—
The while you whine and lick my hand—
And thus our friendship is confessed,
And thuf we understand.
Ah, I’.lanco! ,\id I worship God
As truly as you worship me,
Or follow where my Master trod
With your humility;
Did I sit fondly at His feet,
■As you, dear Blanco, sit at mine,
And w-atoh Him with a love as sweet,
My life would grow divine.

PUTTING ON STEAM.
A. Tfcailroad Krigineer’s Story.
lam a railread engineer. Away alone
in 1857, during the recent panic, I yas
running on the F. and 0. railroad. The
railroad companies were going under in
all directions. Every day we heard of ;
new failures, and quite often in a quar- J
ter where we least expected it. Our road j
was generally looked upon as one of the j
most substantial in the nation ; nobody
seemed to have any fears that it would
•• til ta . ~vviVO the " e-uiu AluAStl- B- .
but yet I did not fully share in the gen
eral confidence. Wages were cut. down,
arrearages collected, and a great many
other little matters seemed to indicate to
me that the road had got into deeper
water than was agreeable all around.
Among other things, the master me
chanic had told me in the spring that
the company had ordered four first-qual
ity Taunton engines for the fall passen
ger business. The road was put in the
very best condition, and other prepara
tions were made to cut down the time
and put the trains through quicker than
was ever known before when the new
engines should come. Well, there was
but one of the engines came.
I said that there was but one engine
came; but she was, in my opinion, alto
gether the best- ever turned out of the
Taunton works, and iliat is saying as
much as can be said of any engine. She
whs put in my charge immediately, with
the understanding that she was mine.
It was Saturday when she came out of
the shop, and I was to take a special
train up to Y -—. The train was to
carry up the President and several offi
cers of the road to meet some officers of
another road, which crosses ours there,
and arrange some important business
with them. I had no trouble at all in
making my forty miles an hour going
out. The engine handled herself most
beautifully. We were just holding up
at Y when Aldrich, the Treasurer,
who had come out on the platform to
put the brake on, slipped and fell. As
we were still under good headway, he
was much injured aud carried off to the
hotel insensible. According to the
President’s direction, I switched off my
train, turned my engine and stood ready
to start back to C at a moment’s no
tice.
Aldrich’s presence was of so much im
portance that the business could not be
transacted without him, so all those I
had brought out, except the President
and Aldrich, went back to C on the
3 o’clock express train. This was the
last regular train which was to pass over
the road until next Monday. Early in
the evening I left the machine in charge
of my fireman, .and went over to an eat
ing-house to see if I could not spend the
■?ime more pleasantly than on my en
gine. The hours dragged themselves
away slowly. I .was playing a game of
dominoes with the station agent when in
omn-- Roberts, the Preddenf, in a state of
gr> at exeitem- nt.
“ ITarrv,” said be. “T want you to put
me down in C and 12 o’clock.”
| As it wis tie tlv 11 o’clock th-n, end
I tli > distance was seventy-five miles. I
I thought he was joking at first; but when
we got outside the door ho caught me by
the arm and hurried me along so fast
that I bfw lie was in earnest.
“Harry,” said he, “if you don’t set me
down ii C nt 12 o’clock, I am a
ruiueilYian, and this road is a ruined
road. Aldrich is dead ; but he told me
before he died that, lie had embezzled
from tima to time 8500,000 of our money,
and his clerk is to start with it on the
12 o’clock boat from C for Canada.
If we dou’t have that money on Monday
morning to make some payments with,
the road goes into other hands ; and if
you pul me down in C at the right
time, so that I save my money, you shall
have §5,000. Understand it, Harry—
ss,ooo.-
Of course, I understood it. I saw now
the reason why the w ages had been cut
down.-- 1 understood it all, and my blood
boiled. I felt that I would save the
road, if I lived, and told Roberts so.
“Sothatyou do it, Harry,” lie re
plied, as he climbed up on the steps of
the coach which was coupled to my
engine.
I sprang up on to tho footboard, got
up the switch tender Jo help my fire
man, opened the throttle, and, just as
wa commenced moving, looked at my
watch . it was just 11 o’clock, so that I
had one hour to make my seventy-five
miles in. -FromY to B there
were f w curves on the road, but there
were several heavy grades. I was per
fectly acquainted with every rod of it,
so that I knew exactly what I had to
encoUjder, and when I saw how the en
gine moved I felt very little fear for the
result. The road for the first few miles
was an air line, and so smooth that my
engine flew along with scarcely a per
ceptible jar. Iwas so busy posting my
sell u ■ as to the amount of wood and
water aboard, etc., that we danced by
the first station almost before I was
aware of it, having been five minutes
out apd having five miles accomplished.
“You arc losing timo I”, yelled a voice
from the coach.
I looked around, and there stood
R,i ’ ’ '
TV**''■ 11 lib ;t wo would have
to increase our speed by some meiuis if.
we carried out our plans
C by midnight, and lot Wen anxious
ly around to see what I could do to ac
complish that purpose. She was blow
ing off steam tmreely at 110 pounds, so
I turned down' the valve to 200, for I
knew we should need it all to make some
of the heavy grades which lay between
us and C . It w three miles to the
next station. With me exception of a
few curves, the track was as good as the
last. As we darted around what com
monly seemed % rather long curve at
the station, but which at our rate of
speed was short enough, I looked at my
watch, and we had done it in two min
utes and a half.
“ Gaining !” I shouted back to Rob
erts, who was standing on the platform
of the coach.
“ Look out for the heavy grades,” he
replied, and went inside the car.
The next six miles rose gradually from
a level to a ten-and-a-half-feet grade,
the last of which lay bet ween us and
the station. My fireman kept her full,
and now she began to get hot. The
furnace door was red, and the steam
raised continually, so that she kept her
speed and passed the station like a
streak of light in five minutes. Now
came nine miles like the last, over
which she kept pace with her time, and
passed the station in seven and a half
minutes.
Here for ten miles we had a twenty
foot grade to encounter ; but the worst
of it all w'as, at this place we would be
obliged to stop for wood. I was just
going to speak to Roberts about it, when
I looked around and saw him filling
the tender from tho coach with wood
which had been placed there before
starting, while he had gone after me.
I believe we would have gone these
ten miles with the same speed as before,
but, through the carelessness of the
fireman, the fountain-valve on the left -
hand sideof the engine got opened, and
the water rose in the boiler so fast as to
run the steam down to 100 pounds be
fore I discovered where the difficulty
was. At first Roberts didn’t appear to
notice the decrease of speed, and kept
at work at the wood as for dear life.
But presently ho looked np, and, seeing
that the speed had decreased, ha
shouted :
“ Harry, we are stopping !” and then,
coming over to where I was, he said :
“ \\ hy, here we have been ten minutes
on the las t ten miles, and I believe we
| will o<.me to a dead stand - if something
1 ii la ‘ .lone ! The speed is continually
: slacking. Wha* t the matter?”
I explained the cause. He was ap
parently satisfied with my explanation,
and after having tied down the safety
valve he climbed over the tender, ex
horting me to “put her through, for
God’s sake, or w*e are all beggars to
gether.”
Just then w*e passed the next station,
having taken nine minutes for eight
miles. We were now more than half
over the road, but wo had lost nearly
ten minutes time and had only left twen
ty-seven minutes to do thirty-seven
miles in. I had shut the water off from
both my pumps a little distance back
when I discovered what was the matter,
and she was now making steam finely
down a slight grade. From less than
10 Q, with which we started over that
fen-roile stretch, she had 200 pounds be
fore we finished it, aud, as the gauge in
dicated no higher than that and as the
valve was tied down, I could not te!l
how much over 200 pounds she carried ;
but she certainly carried none less the
remainder of the journey. Aud weil
she might carry such an enormous head
of steam, for after passing over that ten
miles in eight minutes there lay ten
miles of five-feet up grade and fourteen
miles of twenty feet to the mile depress
ion between us and C , and it was
now 13 minutes to 12 o’clock.
Now the engine was hot in ea.rnest.
The furnace door, smoke-arch and chim
ney were all red, while she seemed to
fly onward as if the very evil one him
self operated her machinery. Six min
utes carried us over that ton miles, and
we darted by the last station that had
lain between us and C . Now we
lmd fourteen miles to go, and my time
showed fifty-three minutes past 11
o'clock. “If I live,” said Ito myself,
“I will make it.” AnjJ we plunged
down that twenty-foot grade with all
steam on. Persons who >.iw the train
on that wild run said it was so soon after
they heard the first sound of her ap
proach, when the strange object, which
looked as if it was a flame of fire, darted
by, and then the sound of its traveling
died away in the distance, that they
could hardly convince themselves they
hud really seen anything. It seemed
J -'Ole * ~ •
tuan a ue cr *ture of a w iki dream
Aud now let me tell you that no en
gine ever beat the time ive made on
those fourteen miles. Those great
wheels, seven feet in diameter, spun
around so swift that you couldn’t begin
to count the revolutions. Tho engine
barely seemed to touch the track as she
flew along ; and, although the track was
as true as it was possible for it to be,
she swayed fearfully, and sometimes
made such prodigious jolts that it re
quired considerable skill for one to keep
his feet. No engine could hold to
gether if crowded to a greater speed.
Well, just as I came to a standstill in
the depot at C , the big clock boomed
out 12, aud the steamboat was getting
her steam on. Roberts got on board in
time, and nothing to spare. But he
saved the money. He found it hid away
in some old boxes, as Aldrich had di
rected him.
A NP ir STORY OF LINCOLN.
When Lincoln was practicing in the
old Sangamon county Court House, in
the days of the old-fashioned settees, a
tall, slim lawyer, noted for wearing a
very short coat, slid along on the seat to
be nearer the advocate addressing the
jury. A protruding nail tore flie seat of
the lawyer’s pantaloons. Obliged to
follow Ids opponent immediately, thers
was no time to sew up the rent in the
garment. A legal wag present wrote a
subscription paper: “ We, the under
signed, agree to pay the sums set oppo
site to our several names for the purpose
of purchasing Brother Brown anew pair
of pantaloons.” Several of the lawyers
put down sums ranging from 50 -cents to
10 cents. The paper w r as presented to
Lincoln, who sat opposite the rear of
the advocate, who, bending over in ges
ticulation, made quite an exposure.
Lincoln took out his pencil and wrote
upon the paper: “I have nothing to
contribute to the end in view.” The
lawyers roared with laughter; the Judge
asked to see the paper, when he, too,
in turn, had to roar. All this time the
unconscious victim of the fun was igno
rant of the cause of the laughter, and at
last joined in tho merriment.

A POLITE PEOPLE.
The city of Lucknow, India, is re
nowned for the politeness of its people,
exceeding, it would seem, that of the
French, who aro generally regarded as
the politest people in the world. A cor
respondent, writing from the spot, gives
a ludicrous illustration of the extent to
which the natives carry their ideas of
courtesy. Two native gentlemen, on
their way to the railway station, acci
dentally fell into a ditch. One would
suppose that both would have been on
their feet in a twinkling ; but no, the
law of politeness interfered, and one
said to the other : “ When your Honor
rises then I may get up.” “No, your
Honor thould get up first,” replied the
other. “Never; how could I take
precedence of your Honor ?” and thus
the contest went on for an hour, it is
said, because neither gentleman would
consent to violate the laws of good
breeding.
