W RICHARD VAILES. 32- ly TORONTO. 28-lf l-tf llf 22 for ln the year 1842 (began the old man) I was engineer on the Con- stitution, one of the most powerful and handsome locomotives on the road. My mute then extended from Bedford to Bloomington, a distance ofabout ninety-five miles. There were at that time but two intermediate stations between the northern and southern terminus of the road, which were situated as followszâ€"Ripley. a town of seven or eight lnousand inhabitants, lay forty-five miles south of Bedford ; and Carthage. a town nearly as large, lay twenty miles south of Ripley. thirty miles trom Bloom- ingtont From Redford to Ripley ths roan consisted of a single track only; but after passing Ripley there was a double track the entire distance. The following incident was re- lated to me by. an old acquaint- ance who was for many years an engineer on the railroad where the event in question transpired. On the old man's brow the frosts of seventy winters had settled lightly. yetleould not but remark, as he lighted his pipe, preparatory to beâ€" ginning his story. how vast a change a few short years had wrought upon his iron frame. At the time the event which I shall endeavour to narrate occurred, he was the embodiment of strength and activity, of which now, alas! comparatively little remained. But I will proceed to give to my read- ers the story in as nearly the exact words ofthe veteran engineer as mv memory will permit 2â€"- Chased by a Locomotive The day on which the occurrence happened, to which I cannot even now, after the lapse of twenty-four years, advert without a thrill of horror, was one of extreme heat. It was the day preceding the Fourth of July, which was to be celebrated at Bloornington with more than usual patriotism. Among the numerous other at- tractions that city afforded on the morrow was a Fourth of July ora- tion, to be delievered by one nf'the most ' eloqueat men of the day. This announcement. being widely circulated throughout the country. had with other reason the eflect ol causing a very great rush of people at the depot. The train left Betll‘ord at ten o’clock A. M. was crowded with passenger to 'its utmost capacity, yet did noL take with it more than two-thirds of the number who had purchused tickets for Bloomington. The dis.‘ appointed ones had no alternative than to wait the one o’clock train should leave. It was this train that was to run" to Bloomington daily by the noble engine, the Con- stitution of which I was engineer. ~Dpn't y_oxi'knpw’that people won’t em. ‘ ‘ ploy A mah who wrongs his mauliness by laugh- ing like a boy?

W Holms S halcspere. The fatal truth soon flashed upon me. The locomotive was running away. Before leanng the station I had seen several small children playing around theengine, one or two of whom we'e climbing up intothe tender. 'Ihe engineer, a man who had once been discharg- ed for similar carelessness, had gone to his house, a short distance off, for some purpoe, and, without doubt, during his absence, some of these children hal inadvertently started the works. As near as] com] determine, we were in advance oflhe lugilive 10- comolive about ‘hee miles; but it was evidentlv gainng upon us ra- pidly, as from thejun speck it ap- peared when my atention was first directed to it, it hd now come 10 be distinguishabléas a locomotive, almost without he aid 01 the- glass. We had not mide the distance of more thantten gniles before my attention wasdirected by the fire- man to something away behind us that he said he been watching for some minnteéysand it seemed to be steadily following us. i also watched the singglar- object intent- ly for several "{inirrutes; "Without being able to mait'e up my mind as to what it ct‘ltikfi’kbo. Surely the next train could not be coming yet; that was not to leave till two o'clock. But suddenly remember- ing that there was a small teles- cope, or spy-glass aboard the enâ€" gine, I immediately procured it. when, to my consternation, I at once saw that the mysterious speck that was following us so assidu- ously was the locomotive Superior, that we had left at Belford with steam up. ready iorthe two o’clock train. But there were no care at-j tached; what could be the mean- ing of that! At the rate the train was now moving, we woulcsoon be over- taken by the runway engine; and the coalision, consdering the num- ber of passenger on the train, could not but be attended with most disastrous coseqnences. It was manifest, thezlore, that our only safety lav in :mtt‘unnmg the fngacious locomtive, which I slmddered to thin it would be dillicnlt to do. as te former had no impediment 'hatever to its speed, while we were retarded with eight heavi' loaded cars. But. nevertheless,l ordered the fireman to increa: our head of steam with all posible haste, as the lives of perha} hundreds de- pended on our reaming Ripley bex ‘fore the runaway eomotive. Aslhave hefoxig said. we left Bedford at the visual. hour, one o’clock, with 01113;, load of living’ freight, the lives Qidealhs of whom depended on a c'duple of inches of iron rail.

Before leavitfg the station I noticed the locomotiVe superior a few hundred yardfi-zbehind us‘ with steam up to the highest point, in- somuch that was constantly making its escape through the safetv valve. As‘everbody knows the boiler resistsrias great a pressure of steam as itr-wdlgbear with safety, consequently she was in full readiA mess to carry the crowds that were waiting about the} depot to their destination. Er l At precisely, lime o’clock we ‘rolled out of the epot with eight cars literally jar”; ' e‘ngerst Those gwhom .obtained standing room lgvl’e'vcn considered themselves formpatev; while, as in the iorenoon, there were hun- dreds not so‘lacky! as to meet with this success. :Fo'n the arcommoda- tion of those left behind, an extra train Was to be'nfide up and start-‘ ed at two o’clock; ' rI'he great lantities wood thrown into the {mace had soon the very dcsirablefl‘ect of quicken- ing the motton of he train to a degree that, umr the circum stances, wast extmly gratifying.

Im The trees that skirted the lrack, “2- in places on eilher side, seemed to ing be rushing past in a wild maze, OUI' with the rapidity of the wind. 1 aln co‘niinued lhrowmg in the pitch lug iillI had emplicd one of the our barrels, and Ihe fire-box was near» About half a barrel of this high- Iy-inflammable substance being thrown into the furnace. the steam- guage began speedin to run up. In a very short time the thick furnace door had changed its dark sombre hue to one of a glowing 'red, so terrific was the heat with- in. From this moment the motion 01 the train grew faster and the huge driving-wheels revolved with the velocity oflightning. Among the other freight put on board the train at Bedford were a few barrels of pitch. These, fortu- nately, were in the forward bagg- age-car, where they could easily be got at. With the assistance of the fireman and baggage master. I managed to get a coupie of these barrels into the tender. As I said before, notwithstand ingthe utmost. endeavours of the fireman to keep up a strong head of steam, the iron fiend continued steadily to gain upon us. It was now not more than a mile behind, andlhrough the glass I could see with painful distinctness everv painful emotion of terror that pass- ed atnwart the faces of the fright- ened children. We were yet some. fifteen miles from Ripley and it was becoming alarmingly obvious that unless we increased our speed to a still greater degree a collision wovld incvxtably ensue. We. ought to be at least a mile ahead when arriving at Ripley, to give the switchman time to alter the switch. This I determined, if pessible, should be. the case. 'Thisltied to a small piece of wood, and if we got to Ripley without being overtaken, it was my intention, in passing the station‘ to throw it down close b} the 'switchman. It we could get the switch changed in lime. the engine with the children would pass off on the left-hand track, where it might runtill the fire burn out without meeting any obstruction. I had no apprehension, however, that it would run further than the ‘ next slatiou~Carthage at the most. ‘ For heaven's sake. change the swifizfi’as’ shim" a's’”pbssifife; Were is aAIocomoxive behind us running away !’ leew the fire of the Superior would soon; die out alter a . while, unless replenished with fuel, and then, of course. the steam would go down, and the engine stop of its own accord. If we could reach Ripley.where the double traek com-Vi menced, in advance of "the pursuu ing locomotive, my lears‘ for thel safety ofthe little ones, as well as the hundreds on the train; would be greatly allayed.

The tremendous heat produc- ed by the great mass of pitch and ‘wood burning in the furnace threatened to burst the boi'er, if not to be set the engine on fire. The steam-gauge showed the steam was several pounds higher than the boiler was made to carry, or than it could resizt without danger of explosion. It is true some of it was escaping through the safety-valve, but not as rapidly as it was engendered by the fierce fire beneath. ll the train were going at the rate it was before reaching Ripley. the steam would be used up about as fast as it was produced; but‘ in order to keep along with the‘ engine on the other tracl<,we were obliged to go quite 'slowly. There- fore, there was but little steam nsedfor the purpose of locomo- tton. But besides the danger of the boiler’s exploding] my fears were greatly excited that the fire, being so exceedinglv violent, would ex- tend its pmver to the woodwork on the engine and burn it up. The intorior of the engineer’s house was fairly smoking with the heat. lfthe fire were allowed to continue burning at this rate much longer, I felt convinced we would either be burned up or blow up, if not both. it was obvious. there‘ fore, that to insure our safety we must make an effort to extinqui the fire. . 1 took the long iron poker that is use for the pnrpnsc, and suc- I now abated the motion of the train_a little, and, in a few minutes the Superior came rushing along past us. I saw, however, that she would not ruu much further. for the fire was ‘out. and the steam nearly spent. Ihad now no diffi- culty in the keeping side by side with her. which I intended to do till she stopped. lview had-the inefi‘able delight to ‘see him spring to the switch and lalter it with the rapidity of thought. A few seconds later, the runaway fiend came dashing up, and pass- ed in safety on the other track. On seeing this. my apprension for the lives ofthe passengers on the train instantly vanished ; and my fears for .my darling little Marâ€" garet and her companion were greatly tranquilised. It was fur. themore evident that the raid speed ofthe locomotive was somewhat decreasing. » I ltnew the fire must be about burnt out, and the engine would soon stop, probably before reaching Carthage. rAswe neared the switch I saw the switChrfian standing only a few feet distant from his post. 1 Hang the pieced wood. with the note attached, down dose to his feet, and before we had passed from .

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAS'v TERS AND SERVANS IN SPAIN.â€"â€"â€"A young bride was starting with her hus- band, and grouped around the railway carriages were all her friends and old servants to wish her good-bye. One of‘ the latter was her nurse; and the des- pair of the poor woman was piteous to see. Dressed in her beautiful peasant’ holiday costume, with strings of pearls on her white bodice, but her face swollen and disfigured by weeping she :clung to her young mistress with n ytenneity which was both painful and touching. The tie between master and Servants in Spain in very close and very sacred. No one dreams of ordering their man or maid to do anything; whatever is wantedjmust be asked for with a deference and courtesy which which they consider their due,and which IS invariably accorded. The servants consider themselves entirely as part of the family into which they enter, and identify their interests, their sorrows, and their joys with those of their em. ployers. In conciusion, I would mention ihat the engineer through whose neglect or duty the above incident happened, was again discharged. and never after received into the service of the company. l The gratitude of {heir parents *6f the little girl who had participat- ed wilh my Own ' child in her frighllul ride on the locomotive seemed to have no bounds. They wore people of considerable wealth and desired to manifest their apâ€" precialion of the great. favour I had perlormed lor them, in saving their litlle one from destruction, by pre- senting me with quite a large sum of money. Thls, llmvever. dc- clined to take, thinking that “the rescue of my own little Margaret amply cempensated ‘me for my trouble.

Some of the pitch still remained auhcring to the sides of the lurnace, but this little soon up, and the furnace was without fire in it. From this lime the sleam gradually went down, the red-hot furnaCe resumed 115 natural colour, and the danger ofthe explosion of the boiler or the burning of the locomotive disap. peared.
