The Local Paper.

ant as a means of heralding to the world
the happy fact that you are married, or
the more joyful event that au heir is
born to the house of Smith or Brown ;
uud it is do lesd an agreeable reflection,
albeit the event is not longed for, that
your demise will be duly chronicled in
the local paper and perhaps your many

Hut do you ever think that it is a little
like the air you breathe?not apprccia
preciated unless you happen to be sud'
denly deprived of it?^-arld for that reason
no thought is taken as to how the sup
ply is kept up. It costs money to print
a paper, as well as to do any th-iig else,
type and presses, and p iper aud ink, and

that bis labors are appreciated, and you

How ttie Train froni hotter IUU
CHiue In on Time.
ltY Harry wir.n.
Mr. 3 rh Ubers looked east. i'hc train
from 'Tater Ilill tVaa almost clue, but as
Mr. Smithors looked he only saw the
line of the track stretching off in toward
tho canon on the down grade, and com
ing dp passing him with its two lines of
rails, until liaifa mill! b?yi nd It la?nehad
into two tracks, one heeding off up into
tho mountains to tho "lumber section,"
where were cut the cfb'ss-tle? for tile
road, and tho other, the old tract on the
tip grade, disappearing with its two lines
ol converging rails, in the far distance.
"W'a'ul," tnid Smithcrs, "she's a-cotu
iug on this?-her who 1 haven't seen for
'most a year?aud the babby, who I aint
seen at all. I wonder does it look much
like her !"
Mr. Smithcrs was not a handsome
man, neither a courtly, ns bo stood on
the track,'looking-for the coming train;
but with his old felt hat, his sutiburnt
face, and bis rusty looking old rifle, and
what the Coming train was bringing him,
bo was more than those can ever give
bo was happy.
"Wa'al," seid Smithois again, after ft
while, "all's ready." lie turned and
looked. Stretching out before him was
his "dlggiris"?Smithera* Crossing," as
it was called.
A neat oottage among iuu i'ocki, with
some trees, ft few rough attempts at

of "her" and the "babby."
-That tbar train from ?T?ter Hi!!
must be iao?gUty near on time." and Mr.
Smithors looked east. Nothing E&t?&]

Sm ithers lonkAd ??tt
mountains he saw a wreath of amoke,
which be knew wfcs the moniing'sup
lumber train coining beck, and bo
watched it as it rapidly came niorfc in
view.
Mr. Smithcre, as he leaked; t^csglii
(one can see very far in those clear,
mountainous regions) he saw sometbiug
Unusual about tho train, and, as it came
nearer in view, bo. saw thai the long
lino of cars loaded with lumber had be
come detached in some manner from the
j locomotive, and were rushing with all
the speed-their momentum could give on
tho down grade. Bounding from side to
t-ido, the immense cars, loaded with lum
ber, eomelinics' almost seemed- to leap
-from the track, followed by tho i?toni?vc
at full speed. -feft?^I
Suddenly Mr. Smithors turned whiii;:
"Tbi train from 'Tartar Hill is due on
time, and they will run icto each other,
and hor and tho baby are on tho train."
Mr. Smiluera Was a man of action,.MR
words. About a mile on, where tho two
tracks mot, was a brake to the turn the
cars ffdn pae track to ihe other, and
Mr. Smithors knew triat if he eouid get
there in time be could stop the train and
save "her" and tho "baby."
So he sfartcd at full speed, never
pausing or heeding, even when ho heard
the passenger train from 'Tarter Hill
blow its, "whistle to land her nop the
baby," thought Smythers, as he arniw
breathless at the brake. . This ha ssiaeu
j with bot. and beid with nil hi*
Btrength, but he found he could do noth
ing except by standing on the track,
right in front of tho descending train
which came thundering on.
fir. Smith eis could see the men, with,
blanched facer, waving their hands to
him on the track, and throwing off thn
rails to lighten the cars. Mr. Smithors
looked cast and saw tho train froth ;TKr
ter Hill coming round the curve "for
her and tho baby."
The ground trembled?there came a
flash ?a roar?a bright light, with a
sudden darkness, and an inanimate mass
hurled from the track, aud the cars rau
off into the switch and stopped, as the
train from "later Hill came in safe on
time.
* #* * * * *
Mr. Lmitber seemed to himself to be
asleep, and to hear, as we sometimes' do
in our thoughts of odr far-off cflildrfb'od,'
long dead, voices os of people talking
vague aud indistinct as in a dream?and
He tlwotc.
"Is she and the baby safe : God
bless them!" Ho felt a pressuro of a
soft hand in his, and then hot tears
'?.Jennie, is that you? God bless you !'?
"I heard a man ores say is cur sec.
tion?be waa a preacher?that 'God
loved little children.' "
"Was it true ?"
"Tel, Ic'tS.*'
"Well, he will take oaro of yoa both,
then?lst's^?let's? see the baby."
Mr. Sciithbrt saw a large pair of eu
rioua biuo syca look wondonngly into
his, a. chubby little face and fair hair.
