And then he remarked : "It's simple. I a war. And I reckon I'll work it out." So he tackled it sharp for an hour or more. And his hands he ran through bin hair. As h Jumped right up and fearfully swore, And his eyes had a maniac's glare. That he'd "be dashed if the dash, dashed fool That Invented this aie;nal was here. He'd smash his dash, dash, dashed skull. And chaw tiff an end of his ear." But after another hot hour had flown The bead drops tiown Van to roll.

Into her Mfe a brightness, aweet and awlft. Shone with a glad surprise; Proudly, to meet the longed-for, royal gift, She lifted happy eyes. She saw the light of such a gloriona morn As neVer dawned before; Her heart, to welcome im the strange new dawn, Flung open wide its door. Tho blessed light, bcr wakened spirit throngh. Thrills of great rapture sent; For she had walked in shadowed ways, and knew Full well what darkness meant. And, as of old a statne thrilled with song At rising of the sun. She felt that in her heart, voiceless so long, Life's music had begun. She Heard rare melodies around her roll. Tender and sweet, as when The stars of the morning sang; and from her soul Up rose the glad Amen. One little day she walked In perfect llgftt, And wore It like a crown ; One little day she sang her aonga then night Smldcnand swift came down Canio don n and closed about ber like ft pall. And shnt out all the day Shut out the liitht, the warmth, the. aJoom, and nil That made life glad and gay. And so of old, at setting of tho sun, On the cold lips of stone Joy turned to grief, so, when her day was done, f he made her bitter moan. The gloom and darkuess.all her leing throngh, l'ang of dumb anguish sent; A.nd darkness was the darker since she knew. At :aot what sunshine meant. OIASED BY AN EXGIXE. A CONDUCTOR'S STOR Lifipincott's Magazine. I was ruling on a nUrlit tmin of tbe Pennsylvania Central, from New York to Washington, on a mission as news- ! taper correspondent. We had passed altimorc, and within an hour's time would Ihj at our phuro of destination. The conductor had iiiii.-hed collecting the fares, ami. seeing a vacant seat by my side, hatl dropped into it, as if for a rest at the end of a tiresome day's work, lie made an entry in his note book, closed it, placed it in his breast pocket, buttoned Ills coat, folded his nrms,thcn turned tome wi;h a friend ly remark, as if now he felt at liberty to lay aside all ollic'al dignity and be sociable. 1 was glad to while away the time, as the train was rushing along in a darkness that concealed all objects of interest without ; uinl so I encouraged tin; conversation. "You must have mot with n;iie in lerwstfnr ii !)e;i-ioiice..-', mm perl.. vi'li .-iittic givj t tU-iig-ii--, in t!i ' co'tiw of oitr lite." jiu J, li.e "wiit.'.iit-tor'i 't'...lv beard iM.owltuf" lh:U he illicit have f-eeti a long service. "Well, perhaps tliu most exciting lime in my experience was the night I was "chased by an engine anight which this one reminds me of," said he, looking out into ihc darkness. "Chased by an cngincP said I, get ting interested. ' ''IIow did that hap pen? "Well, said the conductor, settling down in the cushion and bracing his knees against the back of the seat in front, "many years ago 1 was running the night cxprc.s3 on Long Island, front IJrooklyn to Greenport, a dis tance of ninety miles, thccntiic length of the road. The Long Island road, was then a ouc-horse a Hair having on ly a single-track, with switches at the different stations to allow trains to meet and pass. On the evening to which 1 now refer, I started from Jirookl vn at ten o'clock with the old Constitution, long since broken up, but then the u"jck engine of the road, with a baggage or freight car and three passenger cars. The night was just as dark as a pocket, or, if any thing, perhaps a little darker," he ad ded, as if he had accurately tested the internal secret of that useful, portion of the dress. "Tt must have been been very dark," said I. "We were the -only Tegular train up the road that night with the excep tion of the Greenport express to .Brooklyn, which was to s art at ten o'clock, and meet n at Lakeland sta tion, in the middle of the Island, switching off tlieie to allow us to pas. - Well, we were perhaps, six or eight miles on onr way when I stepped out on t:ie back platform of the rear car to see if it was growing any lighters We were then ";oiiig over a part of the road which was as straight as an arrow for a distance of four or five miles. As I was looking LviCK over tlwis stretch, I saw behind us, at the distance of three miles or so, what I knew to be the head light of an en gine, as it was too bright for anything else ; for of course I did not suppose the government had been putting up a lighthouse along the road." "Probably not," said I. "You may be sure I was a little sur prised," -. said . tho conductor ; "for there wasn't an extra train once a week upon that road, and 1 knew there was uor.e going out from Brooklyn that night anyhow. I waited for a few minutes, until I saw that it was really an engine eoming, and, what was more, was gaining rapidly on us, although we were going at our usual rate of speed. When I was satisfied of this fact I hurried forward and said to the en gineer, 'Jake, there is a train close be hind us.'" "Jake dropped his oil-can and his lower jaw at tho same moment, and looked to see whether I was crazy or joking. " "'Well, let the fireman attend to matters here and como back and see, taid I. "Wc hurried to the rear, and in a moment Jake saw, as well as myself, if there was any joke in the matter we were the victims of one. and a rather serious one, too ; for the train in the rear had gained a full mile on us while I had been forward. The red cinders were pouring out of the smokestack as Srom a blast furnace ; the headlight threw a glare along the road, burnishing the iron rails to our very wheels. Close as he was upon us, the engineer of the advancing train had not given us the slightest signal to warn us of his approach, and made no response to our repeated whistles of alarm, lie was violating all rule; and, if he had determined to secretly run us down, he would act just as he was doing. Jake, at first seemed struck dumb not so much because he then thought of danger as at the cool impudence of the engineer behind. He looked as if he would like to throttle him. His tongue after a while got into working order, and he broke out, 4 What docs that crazy fool mean?' "'The engineer must be crazy or drunk, said I. 'If he keeps on in that way ten minutes longer he will surely be into us; and I signalled the fire man to put on more steam. 'What business the train has upon the road at all to-night is what puzzles me. "'I wonder if it isn't an engine the old man is sending down to Jamaica to the shops for repairs? said Jake. 'I saw the Ben Franklin standing on the sidetrack with steam up just as we started, "rom the way she overhauls us there can't be much of a train be hind her.' "I did not know but that Jake might be right, for .1 had seen the Franklin standing in the depot when we left. That cngino waa just as fast as our own, and if it was without a train attached, as Jake supposed, might easily gain on u, as it seemed to be doing. 'At any rate wc shall sec when wo pass Jamaica station, whether Jake's theory is correct,' I thought, aud said to him. "By this time the fireman, acting as engineer, had given our engine all the steam she would take, and wc were slashing along at a lively rate, 1 tell you," said llie conductor. "The good people along the road who were out of their beds must have thought that a railroad Gilpin was riding another race according to the new style. I was angry enough to have scuta bul ict at the crazy engineer following xtm, and I determined that my first busi ness the next day should be to com plain to the superintendent of his fool Lrdincss. I thought that possibly, nelng for the moment his own master and no longer under the. immediate" orders of a conductor, he was indulg !dg in a kind of railroad spree, and for a lark was driving us to the top of our speed, expecting to end the race and his day 's Work at the same time at Ja maica. "Well, we tore tii rough that sleep ing village without stopping long for refreshments I can assure you, and then Jake and I looked to see our com ical friend in the rear pull up at the station and tike lodging for the night. But we were mistaken in our guess. Not a whistle was given by our pur suer as a signal that he intended to slop, not a signal of slacking was shown; but on the contrary, he was gaining upon us even when we were doing our very le(. Sometimes, a curve in the road would shnt him a moment from our view, but he would round in an instant, anil every new '.iwn brought him 'more closely upon .. Jiimah-fl l ad Ik;:mi left fr behind, ! :u.d We Veto oi't Oi: the vid Hetiip. , end plain. The old f'oif-Lituiiou j w.'i.-i ou tier lutisv'c. Our traiii vo-i actually swaying and rocking with speed like a yacht on the waves. The telegraph poles, upon which the light from our windows would glint in rhe dense darkness, were flying behind us nt every second. The sound of our wheels as thev struck the ends of the rails was a continuous hum. But, do the best that it might, our emr'nie, with its heavy train, was no match for the light-weighted one behind that was gaining upon us, and was not the eighth of a mile oil. The glare of-.its lantern shone brightly in our faces; I thought Jake's face "looked a little pale, and perhaps mine did too. Now that our puruer did not halt at Ja maica, we were entirely off ou r reck onings, and wc could make no guess as to the cause of our chase, vtor when it would end. The prospect seemed that we might be driven to the end of the road if we were not overtaken and smashed before it could be reach e J. "'That's the Franklin' u re.' broke out Jake once more. 'Nc other engine on the road could overhaul us sis" we are going now. What can that fool of a Simpson mean by driving her at such a rate? lie must be drunk. If the. bos doesn't break him to-morrow he won't get his deserts, lie will be into us in two minutes. "'You are right, Jake.' said I. 'Go forward and see if you can not get us a little more headway. Empty a few of those petroleum cans on the wood and pitch it in and sec what can be done.' , "While Jake was forward on his er rand I thought over the ,situatioiL Here I was with a hundred or two passengers under my care, all ignorant of the danger which I knew they were in. If we should be overtaken and crushed in the rear the disaster would be a serious one, and would probably cause; the death or injury at least of some of the passengers. If we were not smashed in this way there was an other and perhaps still greater danger before us. The train of which I have spoken, which left Greenport when we left Brooklyn, was on i?3 -way to meet us on the same track. It should switch off at Lakeland in the. middle of the island, and allow us to pass an hour after we started, or at 11 o'clock. It was now half past ten, and we were close to Lakeland already, and would pass there long before the arrival of the Greenport train "beyond without warning of our approach, and a col lision in front as well as the rear would bo the consequence. "We reached aud tie w through tiic Lakeland depot nearly half an hour ahead of time. Of course the Green port train was not there yet, but was coming down the road. Our speed was now a little ahead of any ever be fore made upon the Long Island road. The telegraph poles fairly danced be hind us, and the bushes on cither side of the track seemed a continuous wall of fire as they were lighted up by the flame which was pouring out of" our smoke-stack. But dangerous as it was for us to keep on, it was just as dan gerous t slacken 'oced, and so on we went." Tho conductor rolled his quid from one cheek to the other, raised the win dow by his side and expectorated into the outer darkness, and became silent for several moments as if burdened by tho recollection of his former perils. After waiting a reasonable length of time for him to resume his story, I said: "When the collision occurred, vas it with tho train in front or in the rear, or with both?" "Oh, the collision!" said the conduc tor. "Well, now you come to the rid iculous part of the story. The colli sion did not take placo at all," he said in an apologetic tone, as if there ought to have been a serious accident after such preparation. "While I was stand ing ou the platform thinking whether I had better warn the passengers to hold themselves ready for a shock, Jake came from forward dragging af ter him two petroleum cans, each of which would hold a quarter of a bar rel of oil. " 'Now, then,' said Jake to me, "ir you will oil one side of the track I will try the other.' " "I saw at once what his plan was. Wc each brought the mouth of an oil can as near to the polished surface of the rail as possible and commenced pouring ou it the koroscne. In less than a minute a half mile of iron rails on both sides was nicely oiled and a.s slippery as the tongue of a Hebrew dealer in second-hand clothes." "You have raised my expectations of a catastrophe so high that you have been obliged to grease the track so as to let them down again easily," said I, for I felt a little nettled at the unex pected turn the story had taken, and was inclined to believe that the con ductor was drawing largely upon his imagination for tho facts. "Why, don't you know that an en gine can no more mako headway on a greased track-than a torn cat climb a step i roof covered with ice;" said the conductor with a pitying glance atone so profoundly ignorant of railroad matters as myself. 1 slapped Jack on the back, and said, 'Old fellow, your cHiteness has brought us all out of a bad scrape.' "In a few seconds the lantern of the train behind us was getting dim in the distance. Wc slacked speed and back ed down to sec what was the matter wifch Simpsbn, as Jack said. There stood the old Ben Franklin, puffing and snorting and pawing like a m:.d bull, tho driving-wheels . buzzing around ou the greased track like all possessed, but not gaining an inch. Wo sanded the track and bore down on the old machine. Jake was the first aboard, spoiling for a good chance at the engineer, Simpson. But no sign of an engineer, fireman or any ether living being was to be found. Tho engine had only a tender attached and although there was a full.head of steam the fires were getting low. We made short work in pushing back to Lakeland. Wc reached the station and got fairly upon the switch when the Urtcuport train, which we should meet there, came in, and were waiting as if nothing had happened, anil as if wc hadn't been fifteen miles out on the road to meet it a few minutes before. "The telegraph operator at Lake land handed me a dispatch which read as follows t, "'To Conductor C : The Ben Franklin has broken loose and is com ing np the road. Turn switcli at Lake land aihJ. run her oil' the track. " 'Bartox, Superintendent. "T.rtiokl vi!, in ; Oo . u.' i Ywu sec we did :oi have much j tiiti't lor tiuuiiig swiui.ei- at Lake- html," he continued, "so we did better t and saved the old Ben winch was not responsible after all from a sma.-h up.1 Countless sufferers find the balm of relief, and the fountain of their health and strength, in Ayeu's Sak safauilla.
