William-, tho -eldest .born, stepped-forth from the little group, advancing to his gray-haired father, sard :*?? "It is twenty-two years since the first of us went forth from this root to make hi& way in the world. As each, in turn, took his departure, you presented to him a bright new hoe, with the injunction, uHoe out your row.' How well we have followed your directions and the lessons of industryr perseverance, Christian in? tegrity, and scif-denial, you. have always taught, b}' your words and by your life, it.remains for you to judge. As a token that we have not forgotten your teach? ings, in the name of my brothers and my? self, I present this hoe to you." and with a bow. he Jaid it down upon the little round stand before him. The old man dropped bis head, and the thin hairs fell about his temples as he simply said, with choking voice. "God bless the boys !" "Mother," said Ralph, advancing to jier side, 'we all know that you would not de? sire any gifts of jewels and golden orna? ments, such its. are common on these oc? casions. But wo thought the contents; of this little box might add some comforts to your lives, which we should delight to bestow, it we were not so widely separa? ted." He placed in her hands, a beautiful gilt casket, containing four of the broad? est pieces the mint turns out, with a lib? eral sprinkling of. smaller yellow drops, from the little grand-children. l.'Now, father," said Dominie Ned, as he walked up to the stand, "I must give up my wedding present j" and he laid before him ? beautiful copy of tho Tostamcnt a'nd-.Psalms, printed in'very large, clear type, so-:gra!.eful to the failing sight of age. "In bright gilt letters on tho side, were stamped these words:. '"Ilbve Thy - commandments above gold ; yea, above fine gold." ~. ? "Now, perhaps, wc had better sing our evening.hymn; and after worship, let the little ones tramp off to bod." The patriarch knelt among his flook. and the' prayer,'from his full heart, for God's "blessing upon them, was as if he had entered within the veil. There were tears .on," many cheeks Avben they rose, and a subdued tone ran even in "g?od nights" of the merry children. Then all drew" up around the fire, and told over tales of other day6. William told how he had hoed out a pretty hard row in the new place, where he had sought to establish himself as a plrysician. But, after due waiting, the "first patient" came at last, and the second, and 60 on, antiLnow be was "the old physician" of the place, with two young men in the of? fice with him. j)ominie Ned, (otherwise.Rev. Edward Kent,) detailed some of tho "Shady Side" experiences of his first charge; but they were -pleasantly relieved by the many S'Sunny Side" incidonts his wife took care to suggest as he went along. George and Ralph compared farm-notes, and altogether, the evening passed as only such gatherings, by such a hearthstone, ever can. It is only such training that can produce such resuljs. If you wish your boys and girls to grow up useful, honorable, and happy, teach them faithfully "to hoe out their row." -.-o-? The Heroes of the Locomotive. President Tuttle, of Wabash College, Indiana, in the New York Independent, thus celebrates tho merits of a class of every day.heroes, whose watchful guardi? anship, though absolutely necessary to tho personal 6afety of every individual who sets foot on a railroad train, is not al ways remembered: It may be ah admission, of weakness, and yet I confess to a high admiration of a ciass of men to whom a vast burden of responsibility in the matter of human life is constantly intrusted. I refer to our railroad engineers. The locomotive in itself is a marvel of ingenuity and power. Compact, perfect in form and adaption, indispensible to the wants of civilization, i is one of the finest instruments. The man who controls those thirty tons of organized iron which wo call a locomo? tive must secure both self-respect and self confidence. I have sometimes stood beside the track when a train has come flying along, and have observed with boundless admiration the man on whose vigilance, skill and pluck t ie safety of that train so largely* depended. His left hand on the lever, his right liand on the re? versing lever?if that be its name?his body bent forward eagerly, and his eyes keenly scrutinizing the track ahead, lest tho tremendous momentum of his train, meeting with some obstacle,, should dash itself in an instant into a horrible wrock. How, now, can a man be weighed down with such a responsibility and not be a stronger and more self-reliant man. Some years ago, with a party, it was my fortune to he on the Erio railway when the engineers engaged in a general strike. I sided with tho engineers, be? lieving them to be wronged. At the Sus quehanna station we found a large body of engineers, more than I havo ever soon together at one time. They were not noisy, nor braggart, nor tipsy; but I then said, what I now believe, that they were the finest body of operatives I ever saw Intelligent, bold, strong, each the mana? ger of such a wonderful machine, they found at least an ardent admirer that day. Some of tho most remarkable exhibi? tions of courage have been made by men of this class. A few years ago my friend Orsborne,. who has driven the locomotive for the mail train oa the Morris and Es? sex Railroad, for twenty years at least with faultless faithfulness, was once de? layed, by snow on tho track, for several hours, but received explicit order from the superintendent?not that splendid officer who has. lately resigned his offico on tho road?"to go ahead," for the road was clear, and no other train saw on tho track. After satisfying himself that ho had not misunderstood tho order, he loft the summit on a steep down grade, and, in rounding a sharp curve, camo on a train that was ascending the same grade under full head of steam. In an instant ho whistled down the brakes, and reversed tho engine. The noble tiling, ! under such a tremendous strain, as if ; fully aware of the danger, obeyed,, and! threw itself back toavert tho catastrophe j Meanwhilo the other engineer had done the same thing with his locomotive; but] it was possible only to modify the shock. Together rushed those two panting and reluctant giants, their joint weight not less than sixty.tons, with the- gathered momentum of their following trains. They rose, like two furious animals in fight, standing on end, and in a trice the two splendid..machines were a wreck. Tho cars behind them was also baldly crushed. Orsborne did not leap from his engine, but, nevermoving his hands from the levers which controlcd it, he stood as resolute as a rock at his post until tho shock came, and then, quick as thought, adjusted his valves to allow the steam to escape with? out an explosion. Our war can furnish no clearer proof of the finest courage than that. At tho crossing of the Morris and Es? sex Railway and Orange Turnpike may be 6een a flagman with one leg. The other lie lost In the wreck I have just de? scribed. Had he had Orsborne's nerve to face danger, he would have escaped also unhurt. Poor fellow ! Tho man who is? sued the presumptuous blunder that day, tried lo buy him off from prosecuting the company, for the sum of" one hundred dollars?an offer which poor Bob's wife met with this quer}T: "Mr. -, would you sell one of your legs for a hundred dollars?" During the war an incident occurred on the Pennsylvania Central, which was related to me by an eye-witness. My in? formant was with a regiment of soldiers going from Pittsburg to Harrisburg in a spccml train. Between Johnstown and the summit they wore delayed by a freight train off the track, or a part of its cars off. This they learned at one of the sta? tions, and remained thero until they were informed that the track was clear. It was in the night, and most of the thou? sand men on the train were asleep, un? conscious of their danger. Four heavily loaded coal cars belonging to the train ahead had, by accident, become detached, and began the descent of a heavy grade at a fipeed which soon became horrible. Tho engineer of the special train heard tho roar of the descending cars, and sur? mised what was tho matter. In an. in? stant he ordered his engine to be detached from the train and pot on steam to meet the runaway cars, if possible, to break their force and save his train. His loco? motive was a large freight, and he had moved several rods ahead when the coal cars struck him like a thunderbolt, and crushed his engino back on the train; but his heroic courage had saved many lives. His engine was utterly demolished, and many oi his cars were also crushed ; but so had ho broken the force of the shock that no lives wore lost. The man's name was Story, and his grateful beneficiaries presented him some elegant silver plate, with the deed itself and their names en? graved on them. When asked why he did not abandon his train, he replied: "Quick as lightning, I thought I had bet? ter die than to havo those runaway cars cut clean through my train, destroying hundreds." It was a heroic answer. Let me relate one moro incident in the same line. That part ot the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad between Athens and the Ohio river was formerlj- made famous by the number of its long and high tres? tle bridges. With few exceptions, these are now tilled up, and the road is becom? ing ono of the best. At one time the compan}' were in great straits, and many of their operatives were unpaid. Some of the men were desperate, and, as the fact proved, dangerous. On a certain evening a train was approaching one of these trestle bridges. It was known that the directors of the road were aboard, and some villain had determined to throw tho whole train from tho bridge. The engin? eer letting his train move at the ordinary speed suddenly discovered that a rail had been displaced on the bridge. He seemed to know instinctively that tho momentum was. too great to save the whole train, and be signaled tho breaks down and re? versed the engine, to stop, if possible, tho cars before reaching the chasm. Then, opening the throttle-valve, the engine sprang forward so violently as to break the connection with the train, and dashed to tho awtul leap. Tho bold man, as this was going on, ran out of his window on tho engine and opened his escape-valve. While^standing there the engine went over with him ; and, marvelous to relate, ho falling under the huge weight, was preserved from being crushed by tho en? gine bell at his side. Tho train, for the rescue of which he had oxhibited such in 'croditable pluck,stopped just soon enough to escapo tho horrible leap after tho en? gine. This bold man's namo I have not heard; but ho recovered from his wounds, and is still an honorod employee of tho company. We glorify our heroes of the battlefield and tho sea; wo stand all agog with ad? miration if some foolish man or moro fool? ish woman ascends Mont Blanc just for tho namo of the feat; we talk about Alex? ander and Bucephalus, and Crcsar in the boat in the tempest?why may not my humblo pen glorify the heroes of the loco? motive ongine, who exhibit as noble and praiseworthy a daring as any heroes in other fields? And they do this in tho constant service of tho thousands of fami? lies who every hour of the twenty-four are represented on the railways of the world. All honor to tho heroes of the engine, and "ten thousand times ton thousand," if they could, would respond, "Amen." -o A Sensible Girl.?When Phillip Hen? ry, tho father of the celebrated commen? tator, sought the hand of the only daugh? ter and heiress of Matthews, in marriage, an objection was made by hor father, who admitted that he was a gentleman, a scholar, and an excellent preacher, but he was a stranger, and "they did not even know where ho came from." "True," said the daughter, who had well woighed tho excellent qualities and graces of the stranger, "but I know where ho is going, and 1 would like to go with him!" and j they walked life's pifgrimago together. -?_ I ? A lady says tho first time she was kissed sho felt like a tub of roses swim? ming in hone}-, cologne, nutmegs, and cranberries. She felt also as if something was running through her nerves on feet of diamonds escorted by several littlo cu pids in chariots drawn by angels, shaded by honeysuckles, and tho wholo spread with nieltod rainbowia. j Handsome Women. "Beauty," says the old proverb, "is but skin deep," but thero are many old proverbs which will not stand the test of intelligent analysis, and this is among tho number. Beauty but skin deep," quotha! Why, if beauty consisted sim? ply and exclusively in the matter of com? plexion, the wise saw would still be an absurdity; for a fine complexion depends, not oh the skin itself, but on the circula? tion and on the general healthfalness of the raysterious'proccsses which are going on below it. A beaut}' with the jaundice is a beauty no longer; but this is not by reason of the uninviting color of her skin, but because of the biliary derange? ment whereof that color is only the symptom. Besides, who has not seen women who were really beautiful without having what arc called fine complexions, and women who wore really ugly with them ? So far as the saying conveys a general impression of the superficiality of mere good looks, and of the foolishness, as a matter of philosophy, of regarding tbem as of any weight in comparison with the mental graces, it may be accep? ted as reasonable enough ; but concretely considered?if wc can so consider a su? perficies?the proverb is as flat and un? profitable as it is, beyond all question, stale. The older men grow the more apt they are to see beauty in a woman's figure rather than in her face. Your youngsters will bow down and worship before a pret? ty face mounted on a broomstick or a pair of tongs, but so will not your prac? ticed connoisseur of forty. Experience teaches so thoroughly the value of health that its outward manifestations become more and more valuable as tho eye is trained to detect- them. Thus, it often happens that a middle-aged man will gaze with wonder at a skinny, dyspeptic-look? ing girl, perceiving that she is exactly what her mother was before her. and un? able to comprehend how on earth it was that ho himself was in love with that mother twenty years ago. ."lie may be more prosaic, perhaps, than ol" yore; but depend upon it, he is more appreciative. His ideal now would be a -rauch more healthful and harmonious creature, and probably a much better tempered one, than his ideal was then?which is a very strong argument against earl} marriages. No doubt there are other things worth weighing in a wife besides mere physical health; but if for the sake of posterity alone, mere physical hcalthlulness goes a great way. Now, although health and beauty may be found dissociated, their eternal tendency is to unite, intermingle, and to attain to ideal perfection together. Sculptors and physiologists know this, sometimes through study and sometimes by the instinct of genius; and the more cultivated the average man or woman, the more clear and definite tho impression in them which is intended to serve one ot the most positive as well as one of the most beautiful purposes of the creation. Tho women ot America are growing more and more handsome every year for, just this reason. They are growing rounder of chest, fuller of limb, gaining substance and development in every di? rection. Whatever may be urged to the contrary, we believe this to be a demon? strable fact. We have been 60 much ac? customed to hear dismal moans over dyspepsia and the heat of stoves, bad food and bad habits of life generally, that an impression of degeneracy finds p?aee in many minds, and the proposition, there? fore, that American women are visibly growing handsomer, may at first provoke ? a good deal of dissent. Wo believe, how ever, that reflection and observation will endorse and sustain it. The change may be less marked among the poorer classes, and may be moro prominent in the chief centres of population and refinement; but that it has taken place, is progressing, and is probably destined favorably to af? fect the community at large, we have not the least doubt. When the rising gene? ration of American girls once began to wear thick shoes, to take much exercise in the open air, to skate, to play croquet, and affect the saddlo, it not only began to grow more wise, but more healthful, and?which must follow as the night the day?moro beautiful. Wealth indubita? bly has a tendency to produco refinement for reason or through causes which here need no elaboration; simultaneously, un less its privileges are abused; it also tends to induce both health and symmetry.? Poor immigrant women, whose figures and faces arc alike misshapen and im brutcd, furnish us with plenty of sad il? lustrations of the effeet on their sex of mingled poverty and toil. Wfl have seen some of these wretched creatures whose very semblance to humanity seemed well nigh crushed out of them. Of course there arc exceptions. Sometimes we see an excessively handsome girl come of peo? ple miserably poor; and vfee versa, peer? ing out of a sumptuous carriage the face of a young Gorgon. But as a rule, where wealth and leisure and consequent cul turo exists, health and beauty naturally follow in the second generation. The beauty of the women of the English aris? tocracy is world famous, and deservedly so; and it has been attained by the pro? tracted enjoyment of precisely these fa? cilities. It is hardly necessary for us to point out that wo mean to describo health and boauty as flowing from tho possession of wealth solely in proportion to tho in? creased intelligence and the judicious uso of it which means and leisuro may bo supposed in general fairly to dcvelope. That people not endowed with riches may not progressively attain to an ideal health? falness and comeliness by exercise,, by cleanliness and by intellectual culture, we do not for a moment mean to insinuate ; but their average chances arc certainly not bo good ; and rich people may, and often do degenerate by the sluggish and inhuman indulgence into which they are tempted to fall, although they are scarce? ly prone in a goneral sense lo do so. Tho development either of'mind or body must bo looked for in masses in tho ratio of their opportunities, and tho accumulation of wealth in America must be credited in a considerable degree'with the moro sen siblo habits of physical training which arc so rapidly improving tho beauty and I strength of American women. Examples j set among tho higher classes naturally i affect all others, aud thus a diffused im? provement in this most important respect may confidently be anticipated. It is to i bo hoped that meutal and raoral beauty may now keep pace with bodily beauly ; I that corrupt, trivial and silly literature may be eschewed no less than the vitia? ting food and languid habits- which have impeded the development of our feminine phsique. The cultivation of a higher and purer school of letters must lie, in our busy system, very much in female handa ; and they can if they will give it decided and wholesome impetus. Beauty of ex? pression, depending so much on the ha? bitual frame of the mind,- is promoted to a striking extent by refined and elevated selection in reading and study. When ladies read only what they should read, and guide their daughters into a like cus? tom, they will do much in aid of improved ph3-6ic.1l habits to breed and train up a still more lovely and harmonious order of ideal American beauty.?Bound Table.
