AN ENGINEER'S STORY. (From Brakes Traveller's Magazine.)
I.
The hour was ton, the night was dark,
The fast express was late,
And if there is in railroad life
One thing I forcely hato,
"Tie Gnishing a man up like
An owl train or a freight.
II.
The dear old engine shot uitpad,
Though big da lvad she draw
Regardless quite of clend and night,
Shus shook herself and flew;
Aud, spite of grides and curves and cuts,
I drove the darling through.
iIf.
I thought I know the tricks and ways
Of every one-horse read
Thas crossed the truck, and small rospect
To any such I showed But whistled for the
crossings, while
Our speed was scarcely slowed.
Just as we flow around a curvo,
And darted through a cut,
I saw a sight that made me start
As if I felt a shot:
A freight train lay before ne, like
A wagon in a rut.
Across the track its length, was stretched,
Ant not a wheel was stirred," While down the graca my big machino
Went Bying like a bird:
I pulled the rope, ani worked the valves,
But could not speak a word.
I did my best, but toward the fright
We sponded like a flash,
With not a hope but that we might
Go through it with a dash, And I could only stand and stare And wait the coming crash.
VIL
A level head, a lightning brain, Oh, who can tell their worth Above all values wealth can give, Or rank, or place, or birth;
And such a head at such a tiro Outweighs the solid marth.
VIII,
It wasn't mine-some other man's:
A brakeman on the fruiglit,
Who saw us aiming at his train
And cowring for it straight;
And when he got his work in, you
May but ho didn't wait.
LX.
As quick as though that follow jussped
And pulled a coupling pin,
And thus he cut the train in two
Just whore the rails begin,
And signalled to his engineer
To go alstad like sin.
X.
The engine puffs and pants; the train
Starts slowly like a snail,
And through a little space I see
Our lius of shining ruil:
But when we sped across the space,
My very beari
turned pale.
XT
The buffer of the rearmust car
We re away with case ; But that was nothing:
v; down I dropped,
And prayed upon my kunes That I might not know again"
So very tight a squeeze.
XIL
A little matter Had you stood
Where I was standing then,' You might have said that it would tests,
The powers of tongue or pen To well describe that brakeinan's deed:
