We wen up to our time at hut. We were running through the Cllthe- " roe lHlla, the road winding up the ral-

. ley of the Barrow; to the left the river ■ flowed dark and ullent Now and then i « you caught a gleam from the gloomy B current ; herr and there, the eoand of . it. brawling over a atony bed You i " aw the tight, of a Tillage, now and " again, twinkling among the looming i - hilU acme* the Garrow. Here we 1 A creaaed a roaring enltrert ; then, the * rlnc running to the right, ran oat on I the high emlnnkment atMacklFord, i - and ao array by Half Mile Tronic i Bridge. i I kept BT ercd ahead : a horrlhlr ' h (bar tormented me.

The Limbo burr telegrapher I had known , for year*. HU name wa» Henry Men- . Ding, a tali, brawn-bearded man of * twenty-alne or thirty. I my I had l known Mm long ; I do not mean thai t. I *u intimate with him, but that I '' meet, every day. He wa» a enperior 1. man every way, u we railway men go. a We all owned to that lu a lac 11 way. and moat of n. liked and rmpnetrd him much, ne tout the but man on the line that any of n. would ral«tru>: t Tern Kerala, punctual, .omcwhat tad- , ~ turn, be wu a! way. at hia poat and never made miriakaa Of late, he had ; grown more quiet than ever; It waa | evident that some eeeret trocble waa wearing on him.

The air waa full of a thick drizxte ; our .peel made a atrong went wind there, outride. On we wont, keeping oor pace weU op— we bad no right to go ahead of timethrough Sadler 'a Drop, in the CUtheroe • HilU, out then Into the letrcl country beyond. As the whistle blew for Garrowflcld Station, I paseed back through the forward ear. The telegraph office In Garrowfleld U a little cast of tbo platform. Soring the passengers look hard at me, I then first noticed that : my dothea were dripping wet. Near the rear end of the car, aa Irish woman art, with her head on the window , Cut asleep. I shook her roughly ; I hoped .he might get down here. She started up with a confused flutter. " TMs llackerby, air ?" "Laat Station back,'' I mid. "You're too far on.'' " Ow, thin, an' what'li iver I do f ' ' i tar. she. "Shore, Dennis is afther expictin* of me, an' he'll 'hiwV I'm kilt intirvly." "You must get off here," I sold. "Come, bo quick." The train was! beginning to alow speed. "8hnre, thin, air,'' the pleaded. ! " It's merilf has an own sister. Is a laundcry in •Ilndlngborry, itself. If ye'd be so kind to lit me down there. I haven't no money, sir ; but I'd bring It ye bright in the marninV "Cant do it," I said. Wo were rioee upon the station. I bustled her out, roughly enough, I suppoee. A gentleman, sitting by with Ids wife, bad been watching us. I saw hia face fire up aa I hustled the woman out. He jumpod up and (hood me. " What do you mean ?" he aays, ail woman off in the night, in a strange town, with no money. Here, I'll pa j I pushed her through the door ; gave him no answer. He held me by the " Your name f " he demanded, sternly. "Mine is Charles Holden. I'll report you." I was not angry with Mm— he did " My name is William Whipple." I saw a fellow I knew on the plat"Oaley," I oils, "show this woman a decent lodging. Pay— I'll make It Ml right". I telegraphed to Linden : " Shall I oonir on ? Why don't yon M-nd me word of the IJmc lake Mail ? I don't think I breathed till the " Coo » o— , Boon your /nurd. G*T I 111-nr. BT TKX." Good heaven !— It waa maddrning. ■ What did it mean? what could it ; I rushed out, waved my arm madly I to Morria. " Go on there— quick I" I yelled. I ran ahead, and climbed up on the - engine. I looked at my watch. It . _...,—i -i. ..r i— * r t.,.1.1 six minute* ten.! t

the slip before his eyes. Ills Gee i blanched white as a corpse. | " Good Ood, Whipple 1 it's seventy I mlVeamn hour!" I " I don't know what it meant. It's I some mod work. But we've got to 1 obey orders. Drive like h — I" I ran through the train taking the ( forte. How could they laugh and t talk? Every minute I heard the 1 scream of the train ahead, that I i dreaded as I shall never fear death. I The speed liei'imil steadily The car* rodtedonithe springs. The pass- i engers grew uneasy ; the women looked | fearfully one to another. Some men expostulated : I " Why are you running ao foal? Do 1 : you want ta murder u* all ?" "Wo are ordered to be al Linden- i by ten," I Mid. It wanted jnst i four minute*. I aaw the glare of BeU'a ; Rolling Mills flash by— flee and a half . to L. 1 1 ran forward to the platform of the i first ear. By the forward door sat a I lady, with a child in her lap, asleep— a little fair -haired girl of three or four. I sro it as plainly now aa I saw It then. I hardly lraotr why. but little things that occurred that night seem burnt 1 Into my memory in colors of fire. I , lie back now, here on Una bed. where I j : hate met, at strangers' hands, more j ; true kindness and Christian courtesy | than I had brilCTed In ixfbrc; and, ' ; shotting Miy eyes, I an that swevi child's face smiling in if* pure dreams, the mother'! brantlful face brooding above it with a look of heavenly lendcrncs* and love. I feci the heave of ^ the hurling train, feel the car sway I and spring with the terrible ajietd. I ' remember ail, as I aw U hurrying through the ear. I passed out on the ' platform. It wanted three mlhutes of ' > ten. I knew we could not make it, ! though Morris was driving on with every pound of steam. I taw him standing at the levers, brawny and stalwart against the glare of the head- | light, flying ahead on the track, one ' arm raised and grasping the lever, looking steadfastly forward, never turning hi* bead to right or left. I | knew what he looked for- only too 1 well I I shudder and turn sick to think of it now. Before heaven, it was awfuL To stand oat there ta. that rushing whirlwind, dinging as for your Kfc in that swaying, barfing flight ; lo Hare forward into that awful darkness ; to ' strata your sight until you were dirxy ami rt! not flare to • Is-- tin ru or tu.n nwsy-deafenrd and stunned Ire dial I icrrlbb- jar and roar ; heart and putae

I thought cflheae, and I prayed to n Heaven to spue me ts life and love _ But more than of this, I say and I - know, I thougit of the hundreds that e trusted to me far their live*— looked to y me to see to it hat ttcy encountered no noedkas ;*riL Tc strain ahead h into thai awful gloom-to think and e think of those foor sods in my charge k 1 lost all sonst of tine and place, in ,t the intense s trail of si;hl and thought, r i I could not my whtre we were ; it - seemed we were turni ng for hnun.

But, through all that terrible din, I lien rd tliat awful whisper from thme benutilul, bloodless ' ted forward foth. t hit.

At the j t first alarm, the flicmnn had jumped. Morris stood lo bis post. 1 saw him ! u gine, set ills belt ringing, do nil tlict mortal could do. Then lie stepped « bock, steadied himself, and leap.*! out | into the dark. I saw it all : it was T only a moment's time. That terrible white light dashed ;. straight tipon to— that awful, blinding It glare of death ! I heard a horrid craafi, like ten y thousand cannon— like the rending of a world. I felt mrae! lifted and hurled through tho air— knocked, battered, j ic pauuded, pressed, truised, twisted, ; It crushed, struck on tht linck, ns with a a steom-whirlctl shaft.

In my eyes. I heard i low, weak moan, t I tamed my head— a woman lay close i beside me with a chili clasped tight to ■ her heart. There wis Mood on the i lips — both wren dead. i 1 remember no store. Heaven 1 i spared me the rest of that horrible I night. I was taken up for dead. They i i brought rac here to St. Stephen's, to i this bed, where I have lain these six ; long months — long m nths and very i w«-*ry, though all thai gentleness and i skilful 1 uuids could do has been done I I hare the paprrs with the account , of the disaster. There is a sickening , list of killed and maimed— so long that I shudder when 1 look. Among the ■ dead, I read : John llUtsom, driver, off duty, Ellen M. ViUers and child, i of Glcnbrook.

, THE LAST FIT S>f THE IBASOX. I j Bt Joiin Hicman, e j There Is s last Fly of tho Season it j just a much as there was s hurt of the Mohcgnns. Have you ever carefully 0 examined Mm, or have your readers neither you nor they have ever oo far t pcribrnwd the natunriiot, snd conoe0 qucatly the task of describing him is 1 imposed uj«m me ; and 1 nndertske It i with relnetoncp, notwithstanding I I know I am fully competent to the task, c This last fly is singular— <»i ;re»erit. He is not like any other fly, and 1 wouldn't he if he could, because he has . large advantages over lii» fellows. He I seems to he perpetual. He will live at r least unto Christmas, no would rule with more than despotic sway if he ■ subjects, hut being the Last Fly, I is Robinson Crusoe, an Alexander i Selkirk, without confinement to an island, and without » man Friday lo t dance attendance about snd around j • him. He is large long-legged, brood- ; winged, open-eyed, sharp-beaked, snd unceasingly bozcy. Being dcprivtil of when lie unco pun admittance lo a that Ouster become* impossible. He r perverts the law of force and co-.rer- . I ..on in this wise: "I hntc found snd I will convert. " -Such is his decision.— lie cares nothing for Rlackstooo or . I hc'inakc* Ids home. Y.s, -"t'< . and although we may have millions oftno- ; ney, a iralaec. a wardrobe repb te witii i the laust Paris faslib.ns, works of the art. wines of nil the years and ! localities. Indeed, every appliance of I . luxury, lie cats and drinks without InI I citation ; denies annoys, and then dc- j 1 1 would undoubtedly say to llu- world- I I ! ,Thc I ast Fly among other lliro would j I the kangaroo among opsnna 'lie P I would soar above them, look down up1 1 on tltetti, and show his ruling importy j pride of man, he would stroke Ins c | moustache in oontrmpt of all around n I edge, but relics entirely upon the physleak Ho has thoughts or instincts | t whidi are better. By every act 1« cx- j d J presiws this : ^"1 «n o ^Fly, ^wbo is g *hra thcC fast' of "up 'suninier" birds j rf the lasffoad of a winter's supply of d food; and when the woodchtlck is I, drowsy, half dreaming of hi* hibernaI, j lion ; when the- apple* are all gathered in, and tho elder cnrefully store.! away ; when the corn i* husked, game*), and the Invnti* reoorc of the winter begins. Joyous of the ^ •

sure to appear. You will know him * the instant. His dignity, sclf nssiirned though it may he, is an iotro- * due-lion. Ill* air tell* you who he is. is the Last Fly of the season. \ It is a sad thing to bo taken down ' October with disease whli !i is tii last - until tlie cb.se of Novcmlwr. Have . you ever experienced it? Probably not. No, your countenance, ruddy ' and transparent as the rnby, clearly ( Indicates you have not had pm-umo-nta, with all its aecom;nnimrnta and ( concomitants: Pain under the stioul-der-bbtdr, down the side, shortness of | breath, exliaustive sweats, oss of a|» , petite, quick pulses, doctors and dotes, ^ Ac. Well, gradually, very gradually, ( you regain a minimum of strength, and ( you begin to think of a sound steep, ( such as once was yours, but liavo not . liad for wreks; when. Just at the uick ] of time the Last Fly appears - apjiears ( to you as you are— sick, weak, half . conscious— yes, lots. He appears to } you bottle-hummed, noisy, stradley, { and greedy. Ho husaro «■•»*■' you, , squatts •* you,"Tind nibbles at yon; you turn, ic turns ; you oppose, and lie . bites on, He perches on the tip of 1 your nose, or on the fag end of your ■ ear, as the spring black bird on the out-cropping ivy branch, nnd refuse* to kavr. If you bad not a fever, lie ' would give you one ; If you were not ! nervous, lie would make you so ; if you had on appetite ho would takc.1t away ; i If you were for peace, be would make ' you for war ; If you were pious, he I would make you swear ; ir you were : for Grant he would keep you from the election. " This Last Fly Is the mean- ' est, worst-behaved of all known flies. . A midsummer brood may be tolerated, ' hot he, never. He is intruder No. 1, snd nuisance No. influltestimai. If i yon doubt. Just get sick and try him. Doctors can do yon no good as long as he remains "with you. To Insure recovery. the first thing to be done Is to r get rid of lite Lost Fly. lee water, milk, boef tea, stimulants, quinine. ' subcutaneous injunctions, will ail prove . k useless unless you first expel tin- I-asl , Fly. A trifc may watch cud wail, a 1 professor prescribe,' friends administer, | and all to no avail so long as the lost f Inst Fly counteracts, ns Ik- will as long off he is present. Bcmeniber, the _ | first thing absolutely nrcvssary fl>r OcI tober or November repnin of health is ( to exterminate the Ijim Fly. Hire , i ta hygiene, tanr expense. P j The last Fly is s tlmusandtirurs , : more to be avoided than un.ltffrving u ' l-eggai*. organ-grinders, or disguised i. ilucvca. He is your "John Jon. s'-— j ■ civr at hand lo pester. If Ik wcoti a h | seal ring, snd has a motto engraved s ! upon it, ic assured it is "Se— per perann." He takes the first tip st your tea, Urn first taste of your faintly-but- . tried toast, walks Into your JeDry, and then wipes h» feet npcei j >*ir eyebrow or your lip*. Uai* the vagabond -»f . — ;
