"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 .
"What was the condition cf your hui
band before 'marriage ?" ., i VA
"Divil a man more miserable. He
said if I didn't give him a promise yyith
in two weeks he'd blow his brains out
with a crowbar-,". . ' i -
"Was he ai the time of your marriage

"A which? - A widower, did yoo say
