"I am sorry for yoa, Mrs. Hall,", said the landlord "J wpuld give you your rem if Ielt-aUe; but you ki,ow I have aftmily to support, and it would not be doing right by .them." Give me three days. Mr. Jones, said the widow, "and something may turn up during that time which will enable me to pay you." Tne landlord reluctantly assented, and left the widow alone with her two chil derfl. It was scarcely a year. since she had lo.-t her husband. His income had betn small, and beyond a hundred dollars and the frrnitqre. h. ad lef hjs vi,fe hohiug. Yet, by sewing, and what odd jobs her son Heury could cbtain. she had been en abled to get along, and kef p her childern at school Her heaviest expenses had been the feni, which. h"WtYtrt $hp was enabled to pay out of the hundred dollars above mentioned . At the commencement of the second year, however, she had no reserve fund, and found herself ijuite unable to meet i he rent at close of the first quarter. After the landlord went out, the gave way fur a moment to depression. , I am afraid," she said, Vthat we shall have to leave this house. It has been our . home so long that it will be tefy painful; besides I donTt know where we &hall go." 'God will provide for us in some way, mother," said Jany the youngest child. "That is what you have told me often.'- "And I had nearly forgotten it myself," said her mother, taking fresh courage. Yes, God will provide; we will not suf fer ourselves to despair." To day is Saturday," said Henry la.nd as school donA,keept Ijnean to go out and see if I can't find something to do. Farmer Terry told me that perhpps he would give me a job at raking" hay." Do so, Henry. I hope you will suc ceed for with us every little hiJps." Henry, who was a stout, and handsome boy of twelve, im mediately took down his cluth cap from the nail where he usually htmg it, and made his way across the fields toward the Terry farm. The distance was abjut a mile, and the route by which he went took him across the railroad track. The point at which he crossed was about a mile from tue station, and just above the bridge a hun dred feet in lenjnh over which the cars passed, fig glanced in the direction of this bridge as he cro?sed the railroad. Why,' he exclaimed tu himself be- li ve the brid ge has gtyep way " Running to the spot, he found his sus picions wre correct. The bridge, wheth er because it was bddly cjnstructed. or Irom some other cause not apparent, hail partly given way, and must inevnabiy Lave caused the destruction of any traiu which ehould attempt tp cro$s it.", Tht many lives must be lost in this eveju Was certain, since the rayine hpauntd by the uridge was some fifty feet deep. lue iiiought fairly look away Henry breath. What shall I do," thought the biWti- d,t red boy. ' Shall I have time to g: up to the station before the next train gets along? No, that is impossible, for it is about time for it now;" As if to verify his last assertion, be ctuld ju;t begin to hear faintly the sound of the approaching train. "I must save i: if I can," he thought. Afier brief thought, he ran along the track in the direction of the advancing cars. . As he ran he vvayed his hat, and threw up his hand, and in every possible way endevoring to attract the attention of the engineer. Apparently tbey did see' him but supposing r. was merely boy'-s fun, took no notice of it. . . i "There is one thing, that I can do," thought Henry ; and he proceeded to do it. ; "k" ' V r, , ' Placiqg himself between the rails, ha continued the same demonstrations. They'll stop rather than run over me," tie thought; yet the feelings of his own personal danger in case they should fail to think hirn in earnest blenched his cheek . Never iniad," said he, resolutely, "befer risk my own life than -let so many perish without warning.' - Of course this took place iq.much less tims than I hav taken to recqfd it. Will the reader picture to himself the terrible situation in which our hero stood in the way of a train traveling at the rate of twenty-five mil?san hour, waving his hat frantically, and exposed to th hazard cf not being able to get out of the way in case he failed to succeed in stop ping the cars. It was indeed a lime to test the cour age of the boy hero. But he maintained his ground firmly. Meanwhile the engineer perceived him. Even at this lime he suppossd it was done in foolish brasaia. "The little fool," he muttered. "We shall be compelled to stop , or run over him " He hastily issued an order to stop tlie train. It was done just in time; they were only two rods distance frou the boy. "Now vou little rascal,' exclaimed the angry engineer, "what do you mean by risking your foolish life, and putting us to this trouble i" Henry pointed mutely to'the broken bridge, and then, overcome by the excite ment through which he had passed, he sank back fainting. His motion wa understood. Good heavens !5' exclaimed the engin eer, "we have been saved from a terri ble fate!" Wjth remorseful eagerness he now devbted himself to the task of recovering the fainting boy. snd wbenthe bstd open ed his eyes asked his pardon for rude un kindness. L" the train safe !" asked Henry ea gerly. , "Entirely so thanks to your noble conduct my little hero." - Henry found himself in the center of a group of passengers, who were profoun dly shocked at the danger from which they bad just escaped. r - Gentlemen.'' said one of their nura her, a fine looking man, calling them a side, ''you preceive how narrow has been our escape ; aud you must be aware that it is solely owing to the courage of this noble little fellow. He has displayed a degree of nrve I doubt, whether any one ofusjSi-tjMtble of, Ibelieye it shall only meet jlhe wishes of many present when I vutgest that nothing could be more fittingthan a pecuniary testimonial of our gratitude." So saying, he took ofFhis hat and drop ped a ten dollar gold piece into it. His example was speedily, and even eagerly, followed. It chanced that the train was a very long cne, and contained an unusal large number of passengers. To this fact may be attributed the large amount of the con tribution which was taken up. -Gentlemen," said the first spokesman after counting ihe money, "'you will be gratified to learn that I have in my hand three hundred dollars, the result of our . . i united contributions which, in your-name. I have the pleasure of presenting to our young friend for his courageous conduct." So saying, he placed the money in his own purse, which he emptied fnr that purpose, aud amid the cheers of the crowd presented it to Heury. vWhat! is it mine ?" asked our hero, bewildered with excessive joy, "It is all yours. We have no doubt ih.u a .boy who has done himself so much 1 credit as you have this morning, will dis pose of it in a suitable manner.'' I'll give it to my mother," said Hen ry, his eyes sparkling with joy. -I'm so glad she needs it to much." . Preparations were now made to re verse the cars and go back to the last station. The gen tleman who had been the means of benefiting Henry so essen tially diJ col go back with the train. "If you are willing," said he, addres sing oqr hero, "I wiR gq back with you: to yonr mother. I begin to feel a strong interest in you, and may huve it in my power to be of service to you.'' -i , On the way he asked various questions, to all of which Henry answered frankly. There is my mother's house," he said at length She will be very glad to get this mopey, for. the has not been able to pay her rent for . the last quarter, and now she can do it without onyk trouble." "You must introduce me to ycur moth er. To do this you must know my name, which is Gordon." , . "Madam." said. Mr. Gordon at length, "I am a merchaut doing business i n the city. I want a lad for my counting room. 1 have vaken a fancy for your son, and if you will intrust him lo me I will try to advance hi; interests as far as may be in my power." . . ! Mrs Hall hesitated.. The offer was an advantageous one. but she did notjwish him to leave school.! When, however, Mr." Gordon promised la give hirn sever al hours & day to devote to study and to take him into his family, she accepted with earnest gratitude ; Henry is at this momont junior partner in the firm, and his mother and lister are raised above want. Mrs. Hall is justly proud of ihe spn to whose boyish intrepidity all their present prosperity is due. The Atlanta (Ga) Era says: "There is too much idleness in mis country. It is. Ipreeding vice and immorality. It is filling our jails with criminals. Crime has been on the gradual increase for six months. This comes of idleness, aid idleness comes, in a great measnre, cf that abominable, jdea. that a white man cannot be a gentleman and wcrk. He must get monej , for that s indispensable. But how? Thai's it.'. .Young men have not ihe disposition to work, and, by pa tient economy, secure a basis for business operations.- This leads to temptation, and temptation to crime. Hence we have murders, horse-thieves and breaches cf trust." . ..:) The fcllowipg is from "Campbell's Wetern Guide," in re'aticn to stock rai?ing &c. in our Territory: As a grazing country Nebraska can not be surpassed, and stock-raising is ex tensively carried on. Tfoa wild grass, predominates here as in Utah, and cattle, horses and rnules fatten cn ii very read ily. The bottom lands abound in rushes and stock are kept out the winter through and are found to fatten without fodder. In regard to the advantages'of frebfas ka for raising sheep, an old well-informed settler of ihat Territory writes . 1 know of no part of the United State where sheep are so healthy, or do so well, and 1 doubt if there is a place', on the globe equal to Nebaska'for wool-growing." the law' of the Territory', sheep to ihe number of 500, owned by any one individual, are exempt from tax ation. In some of the newly settled coun try the stock is herded aud ine crop3 raised without fencing, which makes it much easier for persons of small means to make a start. Considering its recent settlement, Ne braska is a cheap place lo;live, almosi every article of consumption being abun dant. Unskilled labor is in great de mand, and readi.y commands high rates. Farm hands find ready employment at S25 to S50 per month, wiih board. Car penters, blacksmiths, bricklayers and me chanics generally make from S3 to 86 per day. The best hands readily obtain ihe latter figure. Nebraska being a fine agricultural and stock-raising country, and also being the great starting point and highway for trav el over the Plains, her lands are much more sought! after by emigrants. Fine lands can be taken up under the Home stead Law in the immediate neighbor hood of good settlements, where the set tler will have all the advantages of churches and schools already established. Improved farms can be purchased, say in tracts of 100 acres, with from 40 to SO acres under cultivation, with' small dwel ling aud buildings, for from So'' to 25 per acre. In endevoring to lake ihe census for the Government, the officers occasionally meet wiih such difficulties as. to will nigh deprive them of iheir senses. The fol lowing colloquy is said to have taken place somewhere between an official and an Irishwoman i. , ":; "How mny male members have you in the family?" "Niver a one." 7 ; When were you married 1" "The day Pat Doyle left Tipperary for Ameriky. Ah, well I mind it. A sunshinier day never gilded the sky cf ould Ireland." : j --i .
