meet once a fortnight, and have a jolly
good time. Wo want thinking men like
you. We have some among us now.
I'll propose you, it you like/'
I was fond of such things, and had
ideas that 1 fancied might bo worth
.something. Rut theu an engineer uou't
nave nights or days to himself, and the
club would have one evening a fortnight
from Jo. I said :
"I'll ask her. If she likes it, yes."
"Ank whom ?" said he.
"Jo," said I.
"If every man had asked his wife,
every man's wife would have said, 'Can't
sparo you, my dear,' and wo should have
had no club at all," said Gran by.
Rut T made no answer. At home, I
told Jo. She snid :
"I shall miss you, Ned; but you do
love such things, and then, if Granby
belongs, they must be superior men."
"No doubt," suid I.
"It isn't everybody who could be
made a member," mid Jo.?"Why, of]
course, you must say yes."
So I said yes, and Grauby proposed |

waiting for me with, ber baby ou her

"YouYe been ?iccerving me," said Jo
"I suspected it, but I wasn't sure. A

"Which means I do," said I, waver

'?.Jo," mid I, "it's only on 'club
night." . *.\
' It will grow;" wiid alitf'.
Then she put her arms around my
neck.
1 Ned,*' said she, "do you think n s
thing so much like a bottled up and
strapped-duwn Aotiton as stoam is, is fit
to put into the hands of a druukeu

the time will cqu.-c when uot only Thurs
day night, but all tdie days of the week
will be" the same. I've often heard you
wonder w hat the feoliugs of an engineer,
who was about the same as murderoJ a
train full of people, must be, and you'll
know, if you don't stop where you are.
A steady hand and a clear head have
beon your blessings all these years.
Dou't throw them away. Ned, if you
don't care for my love, don't ruin }-our
sclf."
My little Jo. She spoke from her
fieart, and I bent over and kissed her.
"Don't be nfruidjf child, i'il never |
pain you again."
Audi meant it; but at 12 o'clock,
that night, I felt that I had forgotten
my promise aud my resolution.
I couluu't get home to Jo. I made
up my mind to sleep on the club Bofa,
and leave the place for good, the next
day. Already, I felt my brain reel as
it had never before. In an hour, I was
in a kiud of stupor.
It was morning. A Waller btuod
ready to brush my coat. I saw a grin
on his luce. My heart seemed ready to
burst; my hand trembled; I looked at my
watch; I had ouly just five minutes to
reach the depot!
Jo's.words came to my mind. Was
1 fit to fake charge of an engine ? 1 was
not fit to acswer. I ought to have
asked BQtno sober man. As it was, I
ouly canght mv hat and rushnj away. T
was just in time.

Wrorning son. The cars were filling
rapidly. From n?y post, I could hear

tleman I know by sight?one of the
share-holders; ho was bidding two timid ?
girls adieu.
"Good-bye, Kitty?good-bye Lue,"
I heard him say; "Don't bo nervous.
Tho Sau Francisco Is the safest engine
on the Hue, and GUelden the most care
ful engineer. I wouldn't be afraid to
trust CAcry mortal I lovo to. their keep
ing. Nothing could happen wrong with
the two together,"
I said I'll get it through somehow,
and Jo hhail cover talk to me again.
After all, it was easy enough. I reeled
as I spoke. I heard the signal. We
were off.
Five hours from L. to I).; five hours
back. On the last, I should bo myself
again, T knew now. I saw a red flutter,
and never guessed what it was until we
pcro passed the down train, at the wrong
place. Two minutes more, and we
should have had a collision. Somebody
told me. I laughed. I heard him say,
respect I tillly :
"Of coursp, Mr. Guelden, you know
what you arc about ?"
Then I was alone, and wondering
whether I should go faster or s'ower.
I did something, and tho cars ru-dicd on
at a fearful rate. Tho same man who
had spoken to inc before wes standing

How many miles nn hour were we
making'/ I didn't know.

Suddenly there was a horrible roar,
a crash. I wns flung somewhere. I wai
in the water. Uy a miracle, [ was so
bored, not hur:. I gained the shore.
I stood upon tho ground between the
track and the river's edge, and there

The ougine was in fragments, arid tho
cars in Splinters ; do id, and dyim;. and
dyiiii , and wounded wore struWD around
?and men, Women and children?old
a- e and tender youth. There were
groans and shrieks of despair. The j
lUKinied cried out in pain; the uninjured
bewailed their dead; and a voice unheard
by any other, was in my ear, whispering
'?Murder !"
The news had got.e to A, and people
came thronging down to find their
friends. The dead were stretched on
the grass. I went .vith some of the
distracted to find their lost ones. Search
ing for an old man's daughter, I canic
to a place under the trees, and found
live bodies lying there all in their rigid
horror?an old woman, a young one, a
baby nod two tiny children. Is it fancy

?they looked likt?ub, Heaven ! they
were my old mother, my wife, my chil

How did they come on the train '!
What chance has brought this about?
No one could answer. 1 groaned?I
screamed?1 clasped my hands?I tore
my hair. I gazed in the good old face
of her who gave me birth, on the lovely
features of my wile, on my innocent
children; I called thein by name; there
was no answer.?There never could ?
never would be. And as I comprehen
ded this, onward up tho track thundered
another train. Its red eye glared on
me; 1 flung myself before it, I felt it
crush me to atoms!
"His hea 1 is extremely hot said some
body.
1 opened my eyes and saw my wife.
"How do you feel V said she ; "a Ti

1 was so rejoiced and so astonished
by the sight of her that 1 could not

Indeed, so completely au fuul has Mike, 1

in his I borough knowledge of the Tex- '

Milte made a mistake. A tall ungtuuly
looking specimen put in an appearance
whom Mike concluded was au exotiu ^
from the Brazos. He lavished upon
him every possible attention, subsided \
waiters to give him the juieiest stakes
und the uice&t delicacies, until the old
Icllow rolled up his eyes iu enjoymuut,
and lived on the fat of tho laud.
Mike absolutely radiated with pleasure
a- he saw tho uuinistakable gusto with
which his viands wore devoured ; aud,
unable to conceal his satisfaction, he
finally approached and asked how the
gentleman from the Brazot was {rutting
along.
? Very well, thank you!'" was the oc
datc reply.
"What'a the news in Texas?" s.?id
Mike.
"Texas I" exclaimed till guest. ??Oh!

"Sir!" ejaculated Mike, the picture
of astonishment, aud the perspiration
breaking out in gl cut drops on his lore- j

"I'm a minister of the gospel, and the

"Well !" gasped Mike, "where did you
come from then ?"
"From Maino, sir?from away Down

Mike turned away in disgust. Wofds
wero inadequate to convey his senti
