IYJOHSC. s.r,'
There a rime -much in fashion, I think it
c;l.tj Euchre,
Though J never played It for pleasure or lucre,
In whU" . when cards ara in certain condl-
t. "IH,
TltepTay- -s op pear to harecliaur:l positions
AiidoTi---- t t!if-r; crie, in a con lident tone-
"I thin k. I might venture to go it uiou.; -
Whilo liing a game, Uis a whim of the
I -is, . . ,
A me:-;. : ) draw from tha skirmish In cards
Andti'i ' y he f.r.ds in the trivial strife
some xc .i.-'sithints for the Battle of Llfo, '
Wher -. whether the prize be-a riblou -or

w i 1 ; : ' x is he who can "go. It alone."
When rret Cn!ileoprclaimel that the worl l
In s regular orbit was eea.selsa'y whirled.
And g t not a convert for all of his pains,'..
But only derision, and prison, and chains
"It ntoves fr all that,'' was his answering
to-ae.
For l,o knew, like the earth, he could "go it

When KcW, with intellect plercinc; afar,
Diseoyered the laws of each planet and star.

Alas ! for the player who idly depends
In the struggle of life upon kindred and
friends.
Whatever tho valno of blessings like these,
They can never atone for inglorious ease,
Nor comfort the coward who finds with a
Kroan,
That his crutches hare left him to "go It

There is something:, no doubt, in the hand
you may hold
Health, family, culture, wit, beauty and gohl
Is each, in its way, a most excel lent card
Yet the game may be lost, with all these for
your own.
Unless you've the courage to "go It alone."
In battle or business, whatever the game;
In law or In love it is always the same;
In thestrugsle for power, or scrabble for polf.
Let this be your motto : "Rely on yourself! -For
whether the prize be a robbon or throne,
The victor is he who can "go it alone."
WHAT AN ENGINEER TOLD.
I am an engineer. Ever since the
C road was laid, I've traveled over
It every day, or nearly every day,
of ray life.
For a good while I've had tho same
engine in charge the San Francisco
the prettiest engine on the road, and
as well managed, if I say it, as the
best. -
Itwas a Southwestern road, running
we will say from A. to Z. I had the
sweetest little wife under the sun, and
a bahy; and I always had a dollar or
two put by for a rainy day. I was an
odd Kind of a man. Being shut up
with the engine, watching with all
your eyes and heart and soul, inside
and out, don't make a man talkative.
' My wife's name was Josephine, and
I called her Joe. Some people called
me unsociable, and couldn't see how
a man could feel friendly without say
ing ten words an hour. So, though I
had few old friends tlenr ones, too I
did not have so many acquaintances
as most people, and did not care to
have. The house which held my wife
and baby was the dearest place on
earth to me, except the old house
which held my mother, up in A.
I never belonged to a club, or mixed
myself up with strangers in any sucli
way, and never should if it had not
been for Gran by. You see Granby
was one of the share holders, a hand
sone, showy fellow. L liked to talk
with him, and we were friends. He
often rode from Z. to A. and back
again, and once he said :
"You ought to belong to the Scien
tific Club, Gucldon."
"Never heard of it," said I.
"I am a member," said he. "We
meet once a fortnight, and have a jolly
good time. We want thinking men
like you. We have some among us
now. I'll propose you, if you like."
I was fond of such things, and I had
ideas that I fancied might be worth
something. But then an engineer
don't have night and days to himself,
and the club would have one evening
in a fortnight from Jo. I said :
'I'll ask her. If she likes it, yes."
"Ask whom?" said he.
"Joe," said I.
"If every man had asked his wife,
every man's wife would have said,
'can't spare you, my dear,' and we
should have had no club at all," said
Granby.
But I made no answor. At home I
told Jo. She saia :
MI shall miss you, Ned ; but you
love such things, and then if Granby
bejongs to it they must be superior
men.
"No doubt," said I.
"It isn't everybody who could be
made a member," said Jo. "Why; of
course you must say yes."
So I said yes, and Granby proposed
me. Thursday fortnight, I went with
him to the rooms. There were some
men there with brains, and some with
out. The real business of the evening
was the supper, and so it was every
evening.
I'd always been a temperate man. I
actually did not know what efiect wine
would have upon me; but coming to
drink more of it than I ever had, at
the club table, I found it put the steam
on. After so many glasses I wanted
to talk ; after so many more I did.
I seemed like somebody else, words
were so ready. My little ideas came
oat and were listened to, I made sharp
hits; I indulged in repartee; I told
stories ; I even came to puns. I heard
some one say to Granby :
"By George, that's a man worth
knowing. I thought him dull at first.
Yet I knew it was better to be quiet
Ned Guelden, with his ten words an
hour, than the wine made wit I was.
I was sure of it when, three hours
after, I stumbled up stairs to find Jo,
waiting for me, with her babe on her
breast.
"You've been deceiving me," said
Jo. "I suspected it, but I wasn't sure.
A scientific club couldn't smell like a
bar room."
"Which means I do," said I, wav
ing in the middle of the room like a
signal flag at a station, and seeing two
Joes.
"And look like one," said Joe ; and
she went and locked herself and the
baby up in the spare bed room to
gether. "Ned," said she, do yotl think a
thing so much like a bottled-up and
strapped-down deamon ns steam is, is
fit to be put into the hands of a drun
ken man? And some day, mark my
words, the time. will come when not
only Thursday night, but all the days
of the week will be the same. I've
often heard you wonder what the fecl
inirs of an engineer who has about the
same as murdered a train full of peo
ple, must be, and you will know if
you don t stop wnere j ou are. a
steady hand and a clear head have
been your blessings all these year;.
Don't throw them awaj-, Ned. If you
don't care for my love, don't ruin
yourself."
My little Jo ! She spoke from her
heart, and I bent over and kissed her.
One club night, as I was dressed to
go, Jo. stood before me.
"Ned." said she. "I never naa a
fault tr find with vou before. You've

"It will grow,", said sc.
Then she put her-arm around my
neck.
"Don't be afraid, child." 1'lir.cvcr

And I meant itf .but at., twelve
o'clock that.nighM felt that l.li-vi
forgotten my' promise and my resolu
tion. I couldn't go home to Jo. I made
up my .mind to slet'p on the club gof.v,
and leave the place for good next day.
Already I felt my train reel as I never
had before. In an hoar I was in a
land of stupor.
It was morning. A waiter 'stood
ready to brush my coat. I saw .Lrt in
upon his face. My head seer led ready
to burst; my hand trembled I Hooked

was not fit to answer. I ought to have
asked some sober man. As it was, I
only cought upiny hat and rushed
away. L was just in time.
1 he ban Francisco guttered in the
orning sun. The cars were" filling
rapidly. From my post I could hear
the talking bidding each other good
bye, promising to write and come
again. Among tnem was an old gen
tleman I knew by sight one of the
shareholders; he was bidding two
timid gilr3 adieu.
"Good-bye Kitty good-bye JjUC,"
I heard him say; "don't be nervous.
The San Francisco is the safest engine
on the line, and Guelden the most
careful engineer. I wouldn't beafraid
to trust every mortal I love in the
batch to their keeping. Nothing could
happen wrong with the two together.
1 said, "I'll get tnrougu it some
how, and Jo shall never talk to me
again." After all it was easy enough.
I reeled as I spoke. 1 heard the sig
nal. 'We were off.
Five hours from L. toD.; five hours
back. On the last I should be myself
again, I knew. I saw a red nutter
and never guessed what it was until
we were past the down train at a
wrong place. Two minutes more and
we should have had a colhssion.
Somebody told me. I laughed. I
heard him say, respectfully,
"Of couse, Mr. Guelden, you know
what you are about."
Then I was alone, and 1 wandered
whether I should go slower or faster.
I did something, and the care rushed
on at a fearful rate.
The same man who had spoken to
me before was standing by me. 1 heard
some questions.
llow many miles an hour were we
making? I did not know.
Battle, rattle, rattle. I was trying
now to slacken the speed of the San
Francisco. I could not remember
what I should do. Was it this or that?
Faster only faster. I was playing
with the engine like a child.
Suddenly there was an awful roar
a crash; I was Hung somewhere. It
was into the water. By a miracle I
was only sobered not hurt. I gained
the shore. I stood upon the ground
between the track and the river's
edge, and there gayd at my own
work.
The engine was in fragments, the
cars in splinters; dead, djdng and
wounded were strewn around men,
women and children, old age and ten
der youth. There were growns and
shrieks of despair. The maimed cried
out in pain; the uninjured bewailed
their dead ; and a voice, unheard by
any other was in my ear whispering,
"Murderer."
The news had gone back to A., and
people came thronging down to find
their lost ones. Searching for an old
man's daughter, I came to a place un
der the trees, and five bodies were
lying there in all their rigid horror
an old woman, a young one, a baby
and two little children. It was fancy
it was pure fancy, born of my an
guish they looked like oh! great
Heaven! they were "my old mother,
my wife, my children ! 'all cold and
dead.
How did they come on the train?
What chance had brought this about ?
I ga?ed on the good old face of her
who had given me birth, on the lovely
feature of my wife, on the innocent
children. I called them by name;
there was no answer, ihere never
could be never would be. And as I
comprehended this, onward up the
track thundred another train. Its red
eye glared on me; I flung myself be
fore it ; 1 ielt It crush me to atoms :
"His head is very hot," said some
body.
I opened my eyes and saw my wife,
"now uo youieeii" sue said; "a
Little better?
I was rejoiced and so astonished by
the sight of her, that I could not speak
at first, bhe repeated the question
"I must be crushed to p'eces," srud
I, for the train wenHrver me ; but :
feel no pain."
"There he goes about the train 1
again," remarked my Avife. "Why
Ned!"
I tried to move ; there was nothing
the matter with me; I sat up. I was
in my own room, opposite the crib in
which two children were a-sleep, one
had a tiny bald baby head. My wife
and children were safe! Was I de
lirious or could it be ?
"Joe," cried I, "tell me what has
happened."
"It's nine o'clock," said Joe. "You
came home in such a dreadful state
from the club that I couldn't wake
you. You were not fit to manage
steam and risk people's lives. The
San Francisco is half way to A., I
suppose, and you have been frighten
ing me to death with your dreadful
talk."
' And Jo began to cry.
It wa a dream only an awfal
dream. But I had lived through it all
as though it were reality.
"Is there a Bible in the house, Jo ?"
said I.
"Are we heathens?" said Jo.
"Give it to me this moment, Jo."
She brought it, and I pnt my hand
on it and took an oath (too solemn to
be repeated here) that what had hap
pened should never occurigain. It
never has. And if the San Francisco
ever. comes to grief, the verdict will
not be as it ought to be so often the
engineer teas drunk.

tion of our Lei-daiure in this impor
tant' matter.
' It is theiet'T'O v.'i il fur us to look at
this subject f urly.
In t'io-fir-t 1 '. i " we need a good

will secure to each district a comfort
able school house and competent
teacher. ' "
Now we think it is comparatively
an easy ta.sk to give us a State and
County Superintendent, ' to provide
means to defray the expenses of buil
ding school-houses and paying teach
ers, but how to place a competent
teacher in every school is a difficulty
we fear will not be so easily accom
plished. We think no intelligent observing
man will deny that very much of the
money now paid for teaching is al
most as good as thrown away. Visit
our schools and astonishment will
seize us that the children learn any
thing at all in many of them.
True a State Superintendent may do
much in enlightening the people as to
the great waste of money annually
made in paying incompetent teachers
but he cannot place better ones in their
stead unless some plan is devised for
procuring them from other States or
educating them at home.
Now the State has conceded the im
portance of preparing teachers at home
and to aid this noble enterprise has
founded a Normal School at Peru.
The people there had enclosed a
large building and being unable to
p rope rly fi n is h i t an d f u rn i sh i t , o ffbre d
it to" the State for a Normal School
building.
This was a generous offer and a no
ble gift for a community and we can
say heartily well done for the citizens
of Peru; but the bare brick walls of a
three story building 80x40 without
floors and with leaky roof was a very
poor place to teach school in.
The State appropriated $.",000 for
completing tho building. This was
expended about as follows, $100 for
repairs on roof; floors, $800; casings,
stairs, base-boards and doors, $'J)0;
lathing and plastering, $1000. (The
chapel, with four other rooms, are all
that are finished ; the rest of the
rooms are only first-coated on the lath,
while the halls have no plaster on
them except the upper one over head.)
Plasterincr. desks, stoves and appara
tus, $000 ; making the 3000 expended
as judiciously as any set of men could
expend the same money on the build
ing, and yet it is in a sad condition.
The roof leaks very badly, and will
only be repaired by being replaced by
a new one ; and a cupalo sliould be
built for a bell, and to give the build
ing a respectable appearance, it will
cost nearly $ao) to finish the inside
of the building, and at at least b00
more to scat and furnish it properly.
A Library and apparatus are indis
pensable. The grounds must be fenced and
out-houses built.
All these things, together with
teacher's salaries, will need at the very
least calculation, $10,000.
Then after that is done, the school
can be made free to all teachers if
provision is made for the salary of
those engaged in teaching.
Three teachers must be employed
to make the sch'ool a success, but these
can teach a hundred students in ad
dition to those who enter the Normal
department.
Therefore, to make the school a suc
cess and give free in-truction to
teachers, we need' $10,000 from some
source to put the building and ground
in a good condition, and furnish a li
brary and apparatus; and in addition
to this, we need a yearly income from
some source to prevido for the current
expen?e9 of the school.

Greeley Reply to Sen. lor
ton Specie Payment.
New York, Decern her i. The TYi
bunc, to-morrow, will contain Horaco
Greeley's reply to Senator Morton.
He favors immediate resumption, and
believes that there will be no run on
the treasury if specie payment were
begun to-morrow or on tin? first of
January, on our $70,0),000, or if wa
don't resume immediately, he would
use fifty millions to buy up and cancel
bonds, and thus appreciate the Na
tional credit The one thing needful
for resumption is to provide somo
form of National obligation which
holders of greenbacks will prefer to
coin, and this can be obtained by ma
king bonds which shall bo perfectly
secure. He closes by saying that the
bonds are not to be converted into
greenbacks; and I rejoice in believing
that you are at length satisfied that
the greenbacks, if paid soon or at all,
must be converted into bonds. I ursro
that course, therefore, which will
make such conversion practicable. I
want every greenback made; equal to
coin,- not in 1S71, but very early in
isco, and I recommend th plan that
leads directly to this result. I seek a
eon sol, in which our greenbacks may
be funded at pleasure, on terms favor
able to our tax-payers. I seek an early
reduction of the interest on our live
twenties, as fast as the Government's
option shall have matured, to five and,
if possible, to four per cent., and I
have steadfastly advocated early re
demption, and execrated every form
of repudiation from the start. But for
the infamously dishonest proposition
that the five-twenties iniprht be justly
paid In greenbacks, and the powerful
names whereby that villainy was up
held, we might have resumed and
commenced funding our five-twenties
at a much lower rate of interest long
ago. This country is to-day many
millions poorer, and much further
from solvency by reason of that
wretched device of Copperhead rascal
ity, the greenback thetrry, and of the
countenance lent to it, by men whose
patriotism and sense of obligation to
tho nation's creditors should liavo
kept them out of this slo-mrh, if their
integrity did not suffice. When this
continuance shall have been wholly
withdrawn . and apologized for, we .
shall be very near to resumption.
The New York correspondent of tho
Philadelphia Ledger takes the follow- .
ing method to say that General Grant
has offered Mr Greely a Cabinet posi
tion :
"It is no violation of confidence t
state that when General Grant was in
the city last week, the editor of n
prominent morning paper (not theS't;
nor the Times) was given to under
stand that a Cabinet portfolio, was at
his service, under the new administra
tion, provided the said party would
like to be Secretary of the Interior.
As yet it is not ascertained whether
the offer has been accepted, but tho
chances are that it will be. The ed
itor alluded to wa3 formerly a member
ofCongicss."

"You ought not to take interest for
this money, for the Jews were forbid

to take usury from their own people,
but they were allowed to take usury
from the heathen."
