Plie hours at the railway station were rked as by some gigantic clock that ~ the laggard minutes by screaming srhistle and. clanging belL The 4:30 ac- ;|3»inmodatioii had gone east, the west­ ern express dim thereat 4:55 had thun­ dered through the village, gone on over %he great \-iaduct and disappeared round ,^he vast curve beyond. , So one counted the hours by the trains, . ̂ Jiydia by nnms, a girl of the best New . ^}33ngl;«nd type, quiet and yet with an pmrneiise capacity for doing and daring tthouUI love and the occasion demand. < ®he local freight would come next, and "theu--then she would see him again. x . Jihe laid aside her work, put some split- i iltephyr vanity upon her head, and went •|mt tcfwards the railroacL As she ap- ^^ptoached the station she saw her brother, ; .:^he station-master, opening the Uttle , freight house on the farther side of the ;ti^$ra.ck. By this she knew that the local ••^•-freight would stop this time. Her heart n^.Jbeat the faster and she quickened her st m Sii reaching the passenger station ^^fprhere the village street cressed the i-aiiway, she looked up and down the /itine and then crossed over and turned - iiso the left and walked beside the track 1 i£|owards the freight house. To understand all that took place on i«kis occasion, and to fully appreciate ^fier consummate skill in controlling the ^(events so quickly to crowd upon her, ; must study the construction of the '^Jfcoad at this point. The main line for ^inore than a mile to the right, or to­ wards tlie east, was perfectly straight Mid comparatively level. To the left, the west, it crossed a deep valley by a lofty stone viaduct, and beyond the val- By it curved to the north and mounted hill by a long grade. Just cast of the anger station a branch road entered te main line and there was, as might supposed, a cross-over switch. Be- %ond the passenger station, on the west, ^sras a short siding ending in a small ireight house, and directly opposite was mother siding with a freight shed and toal yard. At this point there was also teiiother cross-over switch. I»ydia walked on past the freight ihouae, and, crossing the side track, found m large flat rock beside the way, and Jhere, under the shade of an ancient le tree, she sat down to wait till he;/ - ̂ ilover should come. f Bfe comes!

A yeir ago he had been glad to take the pla 'e of a brakemm, and already he had been promoted. Love did it. He had met aad loved Lytia in the days of his fool- iaii idleness; snd she had insisted that 3be do some mcnly work or she could »ot--yes, she could and did love him jbti he must show himself worthy of her love. Already he had advanced, and she was well pleased with lus progress, and they had become engaged. A grimy, dusty man in unlovely gar­ ments ; but, in her eyes, lie was a man made for better things. As he stood be­ side her one could Bee in his clear eyes and sensible face that he had {food stuff in him and was worthy of her ove. It becomes us not to linger while they talk quietly together beside the track. The train moved slower and slower, till, finally, it stopped with the last car just beyond the switch. The iron horse was moved on, the station master signaled *§ with his arms in a curious fashion, and each of the four bmkemen repeated the motion in turn, wnite puns of steam rose high in the air from the farther end of the train. A curious, rattling sound spread through the train, and the last <^car backed down, turned aside, and en­ tered the siding. The station-master left the switch, and came hastily toward the lovers. "Good day, Alfred. Light freight to­ day ; only one car--by the way, the brake-chain is broken, and yfeii had bet­ ter drop the car at the repair shops. The freight can be thrown out without leaving the oar." i So saying, the station-master went on into the freight house, followed by the rattling and rumbling cars. The grad­ ually lost their speed, and then came to a stop with the end of the train lost in the dark cavern of the freight-house. There was a shout from the building, and then one of the brakemen began to move his arms as a signal to go on. Again the white puffs of steam shot up in the distance, and, with a jar and quiver, the train started again. Car after car rolled passed them. There were hurried whispers, a warm hand-shake and perhaps a kiss, and the young man swung forward, grasped the ladder «n the last car, climbed quickly to the top and sat down. She stood gaz­ ing after him as he was drawn away from her, and smiled and waved farewell to him with her handkerchief. 1 " Here, Lydia, you must help me," It was her brother who stood beside her with a bunch of keys in his hand. " The passenger train follows this at once and I must go to the station. Will you please close the switch after them ?" She took the keys mechanically, and then turned again to gaze after her lover seated on the last car of the retreating train. It had pa* sed out of the switch and was crossing the great viaduct and moving more and more swiftly away. To close and lock the switch waa nei­ ther difficult nor dangerous, and she quietly walked on toward the end of the siding till she eame to the switch-post. Here she leaned against the wooden frame for a little space, shading her eyes from the sun with her hand and watching the tniin. It had run around the valley and was turning into the great curve that crept upward in a long grade over the hill beyond. It was now a mile away, and she could no longer distinguish any one on the cars. She turned slowly away, seized the iron bar of the switch and easily threw it over into place so as to leave the main line open for the next train. She looked back down the road and saw that the passenger train had entered the line from the branch and was just up at the station to discharge passengers. It may seem surprising that a passenger train should be allowed to follows freight train so closely. Bad engineering as this arrangement was, it was not so serious as it seemed, for thiB passenger train diet not follow the freight except for three miles, when it reached the end of its trip and was turned off upon a siding. She turned once more to look after the retreating freight train. It was in full view, climbing the grade on the great curve. Suddenly she put up both hands to shade her eyes and leaned forward on the switch frame. What had happened? Two tiny puffs of steam rose from the engine. It was the signal to stop. Ah! the train has parted! Faint and far away came the short, sharp danger whistle. A single car had broken loose from the train, and had been left be­ hind. It was standing alone on the track. No. It was moving backward. It was beginning to roll down the grade. It was moving faster and faster. There was a man upon it--her lover. Involuntarily she spread out her arms and let them fall to her side three or lour times in succession--the signal to put on the brakes. "How foolish I He cannot see me, and--." She leaned against the switch frame, and shook with fear and agony. The brake was broken. Shrift and swifter rolled the disabled cap*' It was coming down the track gain- ;jdg speed at every rod. ' She sprang to the middle of the track and tried to shout to the engineer of the train at the station. She made the mo­ tions to back down out of the danger. Her tongue clove to the roof of her mouth, and her cry became an inarticu­ late groan. Onward came the car. She could see her lover upon it frantically waving his arms from right to left. What did it mean ? Her brain seemed to be on fire, She could do nothing but gaze on the advancing car in dumb horror. Ah! The passengers! Could she not save them ? With a violent wrench die opened the switch again and stood holding the bar in both hands. Better so--better one life lost than a dozen. Her feet seemed bolted to the ground. She must stay and see him killed, and by her own hand. Ah! why had she not thought of it before? The cross-over switch! Could she reach it in time she might save him. She snatched the key from the switch and ran with frantic speed up the line. She never knew how die opened that switch. J With moans and cries jihe threw her­ self across the line and began to run down the other pile. Could die reach the switch before the car ? Its roaring rang in her ears. Panting,- wit^ midmost bursting bosom she reached the switch, opened it, and stood clinging to it as the car came thundering over the viaduct. She looked up at her lover upon the car. He had seen and understood the change in the switches, His car, help­ less though it was, vould croes over to the down-track and roll harmlessly the level line till its force was spent. Ht was saved, and by liar ready wit and skill. The passengers in the train were also saved. She had saved him. Love had been her inspiration. Great hea.vens f what's that! The express I The down express was oom- ing! All was in vain. He was lost. She saw him throw up his arms in despair. The very plan she had devised to save him would be his destruction. Better far to have thrown him off the siding as she had intended. Now he would meet a more dreadful death, and the destruc­ tion would include scores of lives instead of a dozen. All this flashed through her mind like as lightning. She felt her knees give way ben&atn her, and she clung to the switch in despair. She shut her eyes to hide the coming disaster. Hark! The whistle on the express. They had seen the imminent collision and were doing their beat to avert it. She, too, must do something. With a bound she sprang to the next switch, tore it open, and stood panting and moaning beside it with the bar in her hand. She must save the train, even if she buried her lover under the splintered wreck of the car. Onward came the car, thundering over the viaduct, and just ahead of the train. It turned quickly at the switch, crossed over and shot past her into the siding. He had one look at her upturned face. It was full of love and helpless misery. She was sending him to certain destruc­ tion--to save the express train. The instant the car passed she (dosed ihe switch and sprang back again to the other switch, and closed it just in time to see the express train sweep past in safely. In an instant the helpless car ran into the freight-house with an awful splin­ tering crash. The express pulled up op­ posite the station, and in a moment a crowd of people ran shouting and frantic up the line. Some of them had seen the whole performance and knew what it meant, but for the majority of them it was a tragic mystery. They found Lydia upon the ground by the switch, and with the keys still clutched in her hand. What had she done ? What had happened to her. She could not answer. Nature had mercifully taken away her senses. They took her up tenderly and carried her to the station and laid her upon a seat in the waiting-room. The passngers of the two trains crowded the room and offered every aid, for in some vague manner they began to understated that she was the creditor to the value of all their lives. She had paid for their safety with costly sacrifice. The freight train backed down to the cross-over switch and the engineers of the three trains met and began to exam­ ine the positions of the switches. A number erf men also came from the ex­ press train, and among them was one who seemed in authority. He, too, ex­ amined the line carefully, and the engi­ neers explained the matter to him and listened to his remarks with becoming deference. The little room in the station was packed with , people, idlers and others, and they could with difficulty bring him in. "No," said one of the ladies who were trying to restore the.girl. "It may be too great a shock for her. She must not see him yet." "Make way there, gentlemen. The Superintendent of the road is here." Tlie crowd moved slightly, and the Superintendent advanced into the room. He took off his hat and spoke quietly to the people near, and then he stooped over the unconscious girl and softly kissed her, like as a father. " She saved all our lives, and I fear she thinks she paid dearly for them." Suddenly she opened her eyes and sat up bewildered. i> "Where is lie? Is he muchThurt? Oh ! Perhaps he is "-- "Let me alone, I tell you," cried a big, bold voice in the crowd, "I must go to her." He escaped from those who would detain him, and in a moment was beside her. Some of the people laughed in foolish joy, others cried. The more delicate and sensible were silent, for the meeting was not for words or description. After a slight pause the Superintend­ ent said to the young man : "I congratulate you, sir. Ton were on the car?" "Yes, sir. I was on the car, and I saved myself at the last moment by jumping off. I landed on a pile of fine coal, and got a rough tumble--and that was all. The car is a heap of splint­ ers. " Then the Superintendent called the voung man nearer to him and spoke to nim privately, and presently they both shook hands as if greatly pleased over something. The young man sat down beside the girl, and whispered in her ear. "I've got the place, Lydia. We're all right now." Then the bells rang, and the people began to disperse towards their trains. As they departed, a small creature-- probably a stockholder--objected to the proceedings, and remarked to the Su­ perintendent that "itwas not best to give fat offices to brakemen for doing nothing." "Precisely," said the Superintendent. "But the woman did something, and, if you wish to know the full measure ot her splendid deed, go put yourself in her place."--Golden Rule.

A Phenomenal Animal. Tlie Jefferson (Ark.) Republican^re­ ports the shooting in Little River county, in that State, recently of a phenomenal animal, having the body of a well-formed red deer, with a head that resembled a baboon, and a suit of long, brown, shaggy beard. It was killed by Dr. Colling, who says that, when he was aiming at it, its large eyes seemed to melt with pity and compassion, as though it were aw&re of its dreadful danger. He had no sooner fir©d than the creature leaped high in the air and uttered a most heart-rending scream. The doctor says it must be a species of the Mexican centaur, as described in legends as existing in certain portions of Mexico. - ' •1 A DISEASE has shown itself in India and Ceylon among tlie leaves of coffee plants.

WHEN the head of the family comes home at a shockingly late hour, deposits his weary self on the top of the piano, and while gently tinkling the keys with his major toe murmurs something about the annoyance of a squeaking bed, it is entirely safe to draw conclusions. A MAN who appeared to have 2,378,102 pounds of care on his mind called in at a drug store last week and called for a strengthening plaster to put on his back. "Rheumatism?" queried the clerk. "Wall, no," replied the Roman, "not exactly; but my wife, she's been hintin' about whippin' the parlor carpet and t&kin' down the sittin' room stove, and I know just what's comin'." T HEY had been wedded but two short years. " Do you very much like to have me kiss you, George ?" she said, softly stooping over him and leaving the mono­ gram of her lips oil his marble brow. "I do, indeed, dear," he said. "1 just shut my eyes and try to think I feel the touch of one who was dear to me in the days gone by, before you and I were married." He had hardly finished that remark bofore a copy of Worcester un­ abridged hit him suddenly three or four times on the spot where he had been kissed. The Boy's Wish. The other night, about 10 o'clock, a policeman passing along Lamed street east came upon a boy who was walking up and down in front of a house, and, when the lad was asked if he lived, there, and why he did not go in, he re­ plied : " Dad's waiting for me with a whip." " Going to dust your jacket, is he?" "That's tlie programme," sighed the boy, " unless I can think up something to unfasten his mind from the subject. If 1 could rush in and tell him that a big fire was raging down town, or that the Mayor was dead, or some such thing, he'd be taken by surprise and forget all about dressing me down." " And you can't think of anything else?'* " Not a thing. I wish the old gent was in the liabit of stealing his wood, getting into the House of Correction, or doing something that would give me a hold on him, but he's straighter than a»f Alderman's elbow."--Detroit Free Pre**. O PPRESSION after eating, headache, nervous debility, are the effects of indige»t*on. One, or two at moatj of Par&ms' Purqawoc Pills will give immediate relief. Mr. Diogenes. This singular man lived in Greeoe. He WM i distinguished for his eccentricities, bad man­ ners, and bad disposition. It was his chief badness to find fault. For example, he took a lantern one day when the sun was whining brightly and went out to no&roh for an honest man, thereby insinuating that such persons were exceedingly scarce. When Alexander, a ditinuguinuod military gentleman, paiu idm a vMt, and inquired what he could do for him, he had the impudence to tell him to "get out of bin sunshine." To cap the climax of his oddities, he dressed like a beggar and Jived in a tub! He wan a sour, crabbed, crusty old bachelor. We infer that he had no wife, first, because history does not mention her; wecond, because no woman would take kindly to one of Ma habits, dress or manners, or aspire to be­ come mistress of his mansion. " There was an old woman who lived in a shoe," it is true, but tfee worrmn who would live in a f"'\ es­ pecially with such a companion, has not been heard from. The misanthropic spirit which poHsossed this man waa doubtless due to disor­ dered digestion and a biliousness, one of the Sominent symptoms of which is a morose, Lilt-finding disposition. The tongue is heavily coated, giving rise to a bad taste, the appetite is not good, and the patient feels dull, sleepy or dizzy, and is apt to be fretful. Unfortunate­ ly, Mr. Diogenes lived several centuries before Dr. Pierced Pleasant Purgative Pellets were invented, a few doses of which would have re­ lieved him of his "bile," and enabled hiin to find scores of "honest men" without the aid of his lantern. Under their magic influence, combined with that of the Golden Medical Dis­ covery, to cleanse hie blood, he might have been led to take a more cheerful view of life, to exchange his tub for a decent habitation, to "spruce up" in personal appearance, and at l&st have taken a wife to mend his clothes and his manners, both of which were in evident need of repairs, and become the happy sire of little Diogeneses who would have handed down to posterity the name, not of a cynio philoso­ pher, but of a cheerful, hecUihy, happy, virtu­ ous man!! Going Back to Specie Prices. tfhe Palmer House, Chicago, the largest and finest hotel in the world, containing over 700 rooms (and the only fire-proof house in America), has reduced the price to Three Dollars per day for all rooms above the parlor door, except parlors and rooms with baths. Sir Rose Lambert Price, Baronet, in his in­ teresting book of travels, entitled " Two Americasspeaks thus : "We put up at the Palmer House Hotel, "Chicago, Ills., without any exception the " finest, best conducted, and most comfortable " one I ever saw iu America. The reception­ -rooms were almost regal; the bedrooms were " simply the perfection of comfort, each having " a handsome marble bath in a small chamber " attached to them ; the cuisine was excellent "and liberal; attendance the best I have ever M seen ; and the charges not a bit higher than " tlie tariff at any ordinary first-lass house." When the entire country has received a «hOck from the recent hotel horror, the public should be informed that there is at least one hotel in America which is absolutely and unquestionably fire-proof, stone, iron, marble and concrete be­ ing used in its construction, instead of wood, lath and plaster. This lire-proof palace ooBt the owner and proprietor, Mr. Potter Palmer, $750,000 more than a house built with the or­ dinary oombustible materials. Scotching Malaria. It is a fact widely and amply attested that where the powerful and pernicious drug, qui­ nine, and other mineral poisons, administered as remedies for fever and ague and bilious re­ mittents, fail to yield more than temporary re­ lief to the sufferer, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters scotches those tremendous epidemics most thoroughly, and, by strengthening the system and regulating its functions, protects it against malarial attacks. No resident of a locality where the above maladies prevail, or where they are likely to break out in consequence of the" poisoning of the atmosphere by noxious exhalations, should fail to take practical cog­ nizance of the above important truth, and, by a timely use of the Bitters, avoid the ravages of maladies so disastrous to the physical constitu­ tion. There is not in existence a finer tonic, corrective and defensive cordial. A New French Revolution. According to Emmeline Raymond, the Paris fashion correspondent of Harpers Bazar, we are on tlie eve of a revolution ; but it will, in all probability, be bloodless, and one that Ameri­ can ladies will hail with joy. We refer to the description of a new costume (see Bazar, of March 31), which renders crinoline indispensa­ ble.
