Among other passengers there was a beautiful girl, whose name Jack learned was Alice Hood. My friend had ventured once or twice to address the maiden, but her timid, modest, half-frightened manner seemed to repel an intimate aequaintanceship. She informed the young man; howâ€" ever that she had been to London to as- sist a female cousin engaged in the dress- makng business; that soon after her ar- rival there her relative had dled largely in debt, whereupon Alice had concluded to return home to her father who, in spite of' a severe illness, had, in accordance with an agreement by letter, come to Dijon with the old family coach to wait for her. H aving learned this much, Jack took a great interest in the girl, and felt al- most bound to act the knight for one in her lonely, de1enceless condition. \Vhen'the boatâ€"which, among other passengers, contained her and himâ€"â€" struck the landing, Jack politely offered to carry the fair one’s carpet-bag, which, containing, besides her clothing, such articles as flower‘lines, lines for hosiery, etc., etc., etcfi, was very heavy. She thanked him with her'usual sweet smile, just raising the long lashes of her soft eyes, revealing both orbs glistening like diamonds. He took he bag, and the young couple entered the diligence which was to Qarry them to Paris. There they finally arrived, ten minutes too late for that day’s train. The travellers were informed, however, there was another train at a station fifteen miles distant, preparing to start, in five hours. ‘ Is there no conveyance to that place ? quggied Jack. A He was answered in the negative by the Polite official.“ ‘ N 0t for me,’ answered Alice, smiling. ‘ Our family, you know, are great walk- ers. I have been brought up to it almost from infancy.’ ‘i must go on 1’ exclaimed Alice. ‘My father, I am afraid, is very sick. I must see him as soon as can.’ ‘Fif’teer. miles is' a long distance to walk,’ said J ack. As her seft, pleading eyes seemed to say, ‘ You must go with me,’ Jack could notrresist the appeal. 7 They startea; moving along the rail- rong-for ther_e was no other_way. Whenever they came to a logior a rut, Jack would extend his hind and assust his pretty companion, when, with a smile and shake of the head, she would leap over the obstruction as nimbly as a fawn. They had proceeded about ten miles,when they saw the sun go down behind a range of blue hills in the distance. The two were now moving along a high bridge raised upon spilos about two hundred feet from the earth, which, be- neath it, was rocky and inundated here and there by foaming torrents. Ahead of them the travellers perceived that for a distance of about one hundred yaxds there were no crossplanks between the mils ! Therefore in order to traverse‘ this space, Alice and her companion must walk upon the track. AN ADVENTURE ON A RAILWAY. 0 Father, I have prayed for strength, For summer-tide of joy, That longest hours and sumy days I might for Thee empby; And, lo] I was but weakiud faint, And early winter cams; It is Thy will, Thy will hedono, And blessed be Thy name. I thought to rear a temple dome Where men might Worthip Thee; 1 looked upon Thy captives Lord, And hoped to set them free, Thy temple walls are fair and high, Without a. touch of mine, The children walk at liberty, And the Victor’s hand was 'lhine, I would have spoken mighty wads, I would have done great deeda, And bravely ’neath Thy banner Fought For all Thy people’s needs; But Thou hast given me feeble lils, And hands that. must be still, Thou hid’st me rest while others serve, 0 Master! do thy will. I turn me from the sacred cup With sorrow’s leaves made strong, And in the starless night of gloom I cry, 0 lord 1 how long? But firmer still this ch shall be; 0 Father! heed not me, Not as I wilt, but as Thou wilt, Choose Thou my work for me. Thy will be done. 0 God of light! We are in the darkness still, ’Tis well that we, the weak, the sad, Should wait upon Thy will, Yet let Thy kingdom come, 0 God I That all Thy love may see, And those who weep in pain and loss Be comforted by Thee. “NOT AS I WILL." grammmm ggnmg. Frail support this, ho'wever, with those jagged rocks, two hundred feet below. ready to receive the unfortunate adven» turcr who should make the slight-est mis- step. ' Jack paused7 looked at his fair friend, and shudder-ed. ‘ We had better turn about,’ said he. ‘ Are you afraid,’ she softly inquired, then, as his cheek glowed hotly-‘ for my sake, I mean ?’ ‘ For your sake? Yes.’ Alice smiled. ‘I have been on the Alps,’ she said, ‘following those who hunted on the icy ruins of preeipiccs for the ehamois. Therefore why should I shrink now?’ Still Jack hesitated. A rail was dificrent from the edge of a precipice, and the young man fancied he could already hear Alice’s piercing shriekâ€" could already see her form cleavâ€" ing the air headlong towards those danger- ous rocks beneath. Meanwhile twilight was gathering ; the crimson hues on the sky were melting awgy in slmclpws. _ The travellers, if intending to attempt the perlious crossing, had better do so now While light remalned. ‘ rééfidâ€"Qnér‘fifi tightly .Iogethc'r. ‘Sfi'fiaae one “116% superhuman efiort, still endeavoring to recover her balance. Unfortunately the track was not very broad, yet a person of steady balance, capable of maintaining his self-possession, in spite of the yawning abyss on each side of him, might occasionally derive support from the beam projecting out- ward several inches beyond each side of the track, which was riveted upon it. So said Alice, and her glance was firm7 her cheek unblanched as she spoke. They 'kept on slowly, carefully and steadily, until a sudden heavy gust of Wind made the girl reel ! She stopped find While endeavouring to recover her balance, she saw the dark rocks far below, and thrilled with terror. ‘ ‘ Over, over, Mewâ€"further and further. Alice silently‘vfioddcd her head in token of assent, and the two started. 7 W ‘Comc, then,’ said Jack. Keep hold of my jacket to support yourself as we go If I should stumble, however, do not hesitate to let go of me. Otherwise, you too, will be dragged down !’ A11 inch further and that balance were lost, and she precipitated upon those jag- ged rocks two hundred feet beneath. ‘Let me go alone,’ she cohtinued; ‘then, if anything shouli happen to me, you will not feel responsible. G0, how- ever, I must, for perhaps my father lies dying. I hope I will see him before he breathes his last !’ ‘Now, however, she raised her left arm, and that saved her. She slowly regained her upright position, and the two continued their courseâ€"Jack unable, Without certain destruction, to turn his head, ignorant of his companion’s late narrow escape. - They haul only accompllslled half their perilous walk, when the night-gloom gatfipred round them. ‘ Steadily.’ Whispered J aek, encour- agingly. ‘ For heaven’s sake don’t falter HOW H They must traverse the rest of the way in darkness. She answered him firnfly. ‘I will not,’ and tightened her hold 0f11is_jacliet. At ‘that moment they fele the rail quiver beneath themâ€"a. strange hum- ming noice was heard. It grew louder and louder every moâ€" ment, until a sudden gleam like that of a blood-shot eye, was seen burstâ€" ting through the darkness far ahead of them. ‘ The locomotive !’ gasped Alice. ‘Oh What can we do now ?‘ She was right. It was the train bound to Paris, sweeping along at full speed, breqthing thunder, steam and fire. Nearer and nearer it came, roaring and rattling, with its whistle screaming. The rail now shook so that the travel- lers could scarcely keep their Balance. ‘Vhat matter Whether they did or not? What power could save them now ? , They were apparently doomed to cer- tain destruction with that fearful train swqeping towards them ! 01-), (Shâ€"nearer and nearer! God! It was _soon less than three miles distant! The young people stood still. Each could hear the beating of the other’s heart, for Alice‘s arms now were around Jack’s waist. Ahead of them an approachinglocm motive ; on each side of them a yawning abyss ; their only support a slender rail ! All hope died from their hearts! ‘We must prepare !’ gasped the girl. ‘We must die ! God help us !’ ‘ Oh !’ murmercd Jack, suddenly, ‘ if I only had a rope, I might possibly do something to save us !’ someihing to save us !’ ‘ A rope ! Thank Heaven ! there is one in my carpet-bagâ€"a line upon which my cousin used to hang her hosiery !’ ‘ As quickly as hi§ situation évould per- mit, Jack unslung from his neck the car- pet-bag, and oponing’it, took out the rope which was quite long, and about as thick as a domes-line. One end of this he fastened around Alice’s breast, just beneath the armpits; the other end, by carefully stopping upon his knees, he contrived to reeve through and fasten in one of the holes between the timber and the rail. The train was now less than a mile distant ! In one minute it would reach the spot occupied by the imperilled traâ€" vellers! '7 The girl found her father dying, but he lived long enough to give her his parting blessing. Jack, now feeling that she needed a protector more than ever, proposed, after remaining six weeks at Dijon, to make her his wife. Then, with the help of the rope, the two were enabled to walk the rest of the rail with more ease than before. Soon they were out of 2111 danger, when, with streaming eyes, Alice fell on her knees and thanked God for her and her companion’s preservation. They reached the Dijon train in good time, and subsequently arrived at Alice’s place of destination in safety. On it came, booming along, while the rail shook as if going to pieces. Steam, thunder, fire and smoke I ‘ God help us !’ screamed Alice. The nextmoment she felt a sudden jerk, and became aware that. she was dangling in mid-air beneath the rail. He swung himself quickly to the rail, and carefully drew her up. She consented; they were married; he brought his blide to England and they are now living happy and contented in a pleasant home, near London/ Within hearing: of the steam trains. ‘ All right 1’ said an encouraging voice as the cars disappeared in the darkness. “Thank God 1’ She looked up, and saw Jack clinging to the upper part. of the rope.

A curious instance of' Sabbath break- ing occurred in the parish of Hampton, in Parson Mosely’s time. A certain jolly farmer, who lived several miles from the meeting-house, was astonished to observe one Sunday morning his near neighbor, a pious deacon, hard at work in his hay-field with his sons and his “ hired men.” But the truth was soon divined ; the deacon, who took no weekly paper and owned no almanacâ€"was, in short not a literary manâ€"â€"had mistaken the day of' the week, and his well-ordered family had adopted his error. I am sorry to add that. being,r more of a wag than a saint, our farmer declined to en- lighten the innocent Sabbath-breaker; but drove on, chuckling, toward the sanc- tuary. The deacon looked after him, and, pausing in the midst of the broad swath he Was cutting, exclaimed: “Ef there ain’t Neigbor Doolitttle, and Mis’ Doolittle, and all the children, dressed up and goin’ :1 visitin, Saturday mornin’, in the midst of hayin’ time! That beats all !" The next morning the deacon and the deacon’s Wife,his sons and daughters, his hired man, the hired girl, and the “ bound boy,” all arrayed in their Sunday best, set out for meetmg in good time and in good orderâ€"the eldest son on horseback, with the eldest daughter mounted be- hind him on a pillion ; the deacon, With the rest of the family‘ in the big farm- wagon, drawn by' a pair of stout teams, who jogged soberly along with their meekest Sunday look on.

On the way to The village, the deacon was surprised and shocked to see several of his fellow townsmen at Work in their fields. He invariably stopped toreprove them 2 but the joke of his own Sunday work had spread through the neighbor- hood, and was so much relished that. no one cared to undoeeive him. Each farm- er’s excuse for his impiety was the neces- sity of getting in his hay before a shower, which he pretended was imminent,though the sky was cloudless. Expostulati‘ons and replies, Were something: of this sort; “Jes' so, Deacon; bfit the Wind’s a Ieetle unstidy; and I believe in takin’ time by the forclock.” “ But, Uncle, it “ Yes, Deacon ; but I intend to send a load of this here bay to Parson Moselv, and that'll make it all square, I guess.” “ Why, Uncle.
