I Hack lock shovelled in a qnaptity of coals, and slammed the iron door. •‘It’s like we'll hue ascowry night,” he said, us he looked up into the dark, por tentous sky. “Like enough,” said Campbell, sullen- ly. Campbell had had another taste of the “Gift of God” at Perth, and was nnusual- ly morosff, and more inclined to sleep than tldk. After one or jwo more unavailing attempts to get up a conversation, Black- lock drew further into shelter, and sat down ou one of the sliding seats under the storm board ; resigning himself, wc J train went thundering into the darkness Blacklock ran madly along the line, in the desperate hope that hu might overtake j the train, and in his agony crying to God to stop it. But the red lights along the out, hue were growing smaller and sm.iiier, j and hope was gone. Blacklock stood for J a moment like one bereft of his . senses; and then, starting, ran back. Sinclair stood ou his engine, awaiting him. “Are they off?” “Oh yes, off! My God!” he cried in agony, “what arc we to do?” Sinclair plucked out his watch, and in stantly an expression of horror came into his face. “The night express from the South is coming on that line,” he said hurriedly. ‘She is due here in sixteen minutes. She must be passing Blackford, now.” Aghast with horror. Blacklock stagger-' ed and covered his face with his hands.— Suddenly a thought flashed into hisbraiu. ster from the South came on through the darkness at the rate of a mile a minute. Already the thunder oV its approach was distinctly perceptible. Scarcely a mile separated the two trains. In thirty sec onds they would i»e together! Sinclair's engine was still bowling on, alongside the other. “i’ll jump across,” cried Blacklock, suddenly. “Dash on—you—and signal the express.” In a moment, before Sinclair could hold him back, Blacklock was at thesideof the engine, had crouched low and made a des perate spring, lie alighted upon the foot board of the other tender. He staggered for a moment; but recovering his balance instantly, he sprang forward to the engine, shut off the steam, and put ou the brake. It was all the brave fellow couid do. Now for life—for life ! He seized Campbell. He dragged him to the side of the engine, to leap off'. Ah, too late ! The huge train was still rolling on, when the express, with The Mexican Emperor and his Housc- hdd. The Ministers of Maximilian are now, with the exception of Ramirez and Lacun- za. who belong to neither one nor the oth er party, all puros.

C niiptmli remained standing sullen ly on the footpath to attend to the engine. They passed Forgundenny and Forte- v'.ot wi.hout stopping. They stopped at Dunning, where three or four people, muf fled well up to protect themselves iiom the night air, were waiting for the train. They stopped again at Auchtenirder, where the station ligh s hooked cherry by 'contrast with the darkness of the night. Here they shunted on to the down line. : a little beyond the station, till the night mail for the west should pess. The mail came up about five minutes after, sharp upon its time; stopped for a minute to take in the bags; and then, with an impatient snort, .passed on into the darkness. Campbell and Blacklock thereupon prepared to reshunt to their proper line. They put ou the steam and reversed the engine ; but there was a alight incline at thc spot; the train was heavy, and they could nrtt -get it to move. Alter one or two attempts, Campbell— spe iking with a (hick voice, for he was half stupid with drink—ordered Black lock to got a crow-bar and put it to the wheel to give the eugiue a start. “Will Sinclair have one?” said Black lock, jerking his thumb toward an engine they had passed on the siding nearly op posite the platform. He had better go and see. Campbell sluggishly continued his at tempts to start his engine; while Black lock went back to Sinclair's, glancing up, os he passed, at the w indows of the car riage where Jenny was, in hopes of see ing her face and getting a smile. He told Stncla.r what he wanted. Sinclair, who was re..d ng a newspaper by the light of an oil lamp, had no crow-bar, but thought there was one in the shed. As he said so, he looked carelessly round toward the train which Blacklock had just left, and saw that it had got a start already, but was moving in the wrong direction. He continued watching it for a few seconds, expecting to see it stop and come back; but still it kept moving away and away. “Hollo! what does the fellow mean?” he eried, jumping to his feet. “He’s go ing off on the down line !” Blacklock looked, and turned white as death. Thc awful truth flashed upon him. Camnbell was drunk, and did not know what no was about. In an instant, leap ing from Sinclair’s engine, Blacklock ran swiftly along the line in pursuit of the re treating train. It was hopeless. A full head of steam was on. The train was quickening its pace every moment. The heads that had been pop; ' rinm Coogrcgationulists.

If the express was true to her time, there was no hope. In five or six minutes there would be a collision. But if the express was in Hie least behind, there was still a dcsjieratc chance. Awly, then, and away. Ou they went, witU thundering crank and grinding steel. The tender quivered and rocked; (he ground, lit by tbe glare of the engine Inin under them. There was a terrible voice in the quick, clanking wheels—“Life or , death!—Hie or death !—life or death!— Away and away, like a fiery meteor through the driving storm and darkness. The telegraph poles flew past like Irighicd spi rits. “There, there she is!” bur«t from the lips-of both men together, as they caught sight of two red lights shining far ahead upon thc line. “On—on ! for God’s sake on!” cried Blacklock, with frightened eagerness. They dashed with a shattering roar be tween the rocks at Lentrie, burst forth again, and way ou the wild and terrible pursuit. They were gaining rapidly on the train ahead. There was still hope—a desperate hope. They dashed, with ano ther roar, through the deep cutting at Beatli's Ward, and still away and away. “Life or death—life or death—life or death !” clanked tho wheel. “Ha! what’s that? Did you see that?” cried Sinclair, suddenly, as his eye caug'ht sight for an instant, of a spectral form that flashed across the rail almost at tho engine wheel. “On—on !” Blacklock almost Screamed, never turning his eyes from the red lights ahead, which they were now rapidly near ing. Just as tho long train crossed the Bridge ot Berth, they dashed alongside. Now or never. The awful crisis had come. Thc parliamentary train was thunder ing along the parallel rails at the velocity of nearly thirty miles an' hour; and as Sinclair and Blacklock passed carriage af ter carriage, they could see. in the dusky light of the lamps within, the dim rows of passengers, many of them asleep, and all unconscious that they were on the wrong line, bowling, quick and fast, into the jaws of death. Great God! what a picture of human kind was that, if one had a moment to think of it. _ ‘ Blacklock’s breath was short and gasp ing. The perspiration was standing in great beads upon bus brow.

The Gov ernor of Puebla started immediately for Mexico, and was astonished to hear thc Emperor sry it was very foolish for the people in I’uebla to make such a riot about nothing. The fact is, that neither thc offi cers nor men who participated in this crime have been punished. The Empress is a tall, portly lady, but her features can not be said to be delicate.

This movement will meet with vigorous resistance as Wfcll* as hearty support. The clergymen iden tified with it are well known for their per severance and independence, as well as for a tendency to controversial discussion; while the Bishop will be supported in the course he has adopted by the vast body of his clergy.

If now this screen be placed on a drum which makes a complete revolution in twenty-four hours, successively exposing parts*of the screen to the rain, the dura tion of the shower and the number of the drops will be clearly indicated by the black •puts ; and the time, the space of paper exposed at each moment, and the area covered by the shower being known, the rest becomes a simple arithmetical opera tion.
