This wa» a last regular train which was to pais jar the road until next Monday. ly in the evening 1 left the main charge of my fireman and went -it to an eating house to see if I oould spend the time more pleasantly !»n on my engine. The hour* dragged jfemselres away slowly. I was playing game of dominoes with the station Snot whon in came Roberts, the Presifnt, in a state of great excitement. 4" Harry,' said he to me, 'I want you

I understood it, I saw

From to O—- there were t^r curves on th® road but there w®r® V@r»l heavy grades. I was perfooUy Jiequaimed with everv rod of it so that knew oxaotly what I had to encounter, and when 9A\v how the engine mored 1 felt vary little fear for the resuit.

on are losing

voice from the coach. I look and there stood Roberts with his watch in his hand. 1 knew very well that we would have to increase our speed by some means if we carried out our plans of reaching by midnight, and looked anxiously around to see what I could do to accomplish that purpose. She was blowing off steam fiercely at 110 pounds so I turned down the valve to 200, for I knew we should need it all to make some of the heavy grades which lay between us and "It was three miles to the next station. With the exception of a few curves the track was as good as the last. As we darted around what commonly seemed to be a rather long curve, at the station, 1ut which was, at our high speed, short enough, I looked at my watch, and we had done it in two minutes and a half. 'Gaining,1 I shouted back to Roberts, who was yet standing on- the platform of the coach. "•Look out for the heavv grades,' he replied, and went inside the car. "Tne next six miles rose gradually from a level at the first, to ten and a half feet grade at the last, which lay between us and the next station. My fireman kept her full and now she began to get not. The furnace door was red ana the steam raised continually, so that she kept her speed and passed the station like a streak of light in five minutes. "Now came nine miles like the last over whioh she kept paoe with her time, and passed the station in seven and a half minutes. "Here, for ten miles, we had a twenty-foot grade to encounter but the worst of it all was at this place we would be obliged to stop for wood. I was just going to speak to Roberts about it when I looked around and saw him filling the tender frum the coach with wood which had been placed there before starting, while he was gone after me. "I believe we would have made this ten miles with the same speed as befoae, but through the carelessness of the fireman the fountain valve on the left-hand side of the engine got opened, and the water rose in the boiler so fast as to run the steam down to one hundred pounds before I discovered where the difficulty was. "At first Roberts didn't appear to notice the decrease of speed, and kept at work at tne wood as if for dear life. But presently he looked up, and. seeing that the speed had decreased, he shouted: 'Harry, we are stopping!' and then, coming over to where I was, he said: 'Why, here we have been ten minon the last ten miles, and I believe we will comc to a dead stand if something is not done. The speed is continually slacking. What is the matter?' "I explained the cause. He was apparently satisfied with my explanation, and, after having tied down the safety valve, he olimbea back over the tender, exhorting m® to 'put her through, for God's sake, or we are all beggars together 1" "Just then we passed the next station having taken nine minutes for eight miles. We were now more than half over the road, but we had lost nearly ten minutes' time, and had left only twenty-seven minutes to do thirtyfour miles in. 1 had shut the water off from both my pumps a little distanoe back, when 1 discovered what was th® matter, and she was now making steam finely down a slight grade. From less than one hundred with whioh we started over that ten-mile stretoh, she had two hundred pounds before we finished it and, as the gauge Indicated no higher than that, and tne valve was tied down, I could not tell how muoh over two huddred pounds she carried, but she certainly carried none less the rest ®f the Journey. And well might she carry such an enormeus head of steam, for, after passing over that ten miles in eight minutes, there lay ten mil as of five feet up grade and fourteen miles of twenty-feet-U-the-mile depression between us and and it was now thirteen minutes to twelve o'clock. "Now the engine was hot in earnest. The furnace door, smoke arch and chimney all were red while she seemed to fly onward as if the very Evil One himself operated her machinery.

Six minutes carried us over that ten miles and we darted by the last station that had lain between us and C_—. Row we had fourteen miles to go, and my time showed fifty-three minutes past eleven o'clock.

If I live,* said I to myself, I will make it,' And we plnngtiu down that twenty-foot grade with all steam ««n. Persons who saw th« train on th-u wild run said that it writs so s-nn'after they heard the first s»und of her itporoaoh. when the Strang object, which looked as if it was a fiame of tire, darted by. and then the sound of its traveling died away in the distance, that they could hardly convince' themselves they had really seen anything. It seemed more like the creature of a wild dream than a sober reality. "And now let me tell you that no engine ever beat the time we made on those fourteen miles. Those great wheels, seven feet in diameter, spun around so swift that you couldn't begin to count the revolution*. The engine barely seemed to touch the track as she ttew along and although the traok waa as true ai it was possible for it tp be she swayed fearfully, and sometimes mad® such prodigious jolts that it required considerable skill for one to keep his feet. No engine oould hold together if crowded to a greater speed.

Well, just as I came to a standstill In the depot at the big clock boomed out twelv®, and the steamboat wai getting her steam on. Roberts got on board in time, and nothing to spare. But he saved the money, ft# found it hid away in some old boxes, as Aidrich had directed him*"—^ T. Qrupkin. 'Tl ——11

Tact.

Business requires a large amount

tact, to be prosecuted pleasantly oi profitably to catch the radiant points of character in another and turn them to good account for ourselves. It may not be natural with all, but can te cultivated the same as any other tmit of character, and the more we do so the

Tad seizes intuitively the weaker points of our associates and gives the ability to work upon and control them. It smoothes the rough places, pours oil upon the troubled waters of temper bridges many a chasm and guards again many a wreck. It is as essential capital more so it would appear than the strict plummet and rule of honesty, (to the shame of mankind be it written), and often stands done i» the gap between failure and success.

nst as

Many a man has started from literally nothing and achieved renown and fortune simply by a discretionary us® of tact—by the knowledge of what the market required, the art of managing customers and seductively forcing sales ei the rig^t moment at high prices. Capital has seen, its shelves remain groaning with goods while forethought and- tact of display and inducements, has cleared others and filled and emptied them agaih. Given the progressive with tact and capital without it, and the former is certain to win the day.

Tact is blessed with keenly scrutinizing eyes, as with the smoothest of tongues. It instantly comprehends what is for the beat, and has fitting words hi give it expression to touch the chords of feeling to flatter delicately, if need be to ever be polite and call into action the self love and the self interest that is at the bottom of all our actions, no matter how much we disclaim the idea.

Man is an instrument of manv strings, many keys and many notes. The touch of to-day will not answer for the morrow, aud the song tliat to-day awakens smiles will before the going down of another sun summon tears. Our moods are as changeable as the wind. A thousand motives keep us from stability. Others have influence over us, and happy is he who has the tact to perceive and regulate himself by the swaying or souls.

The right word in the right place often goes much farther than hours of argu ment would do a single .one, more power than sentence after sentence, for we weary and grow sick of mere verbiage. Such things jar the ear and cause discord among the strings- the harmony of unison is lost the one who perhaps is striving for one good alone is voted a bore, ana we turn the cold shoulder upon him to our undoing. There is ta' in silence as well as in speaking. The same rule does not hold good with all. One will bear urging, and another grows restless under, ana disgusted with it one man is willing to De taught and another inclined to the opinion that he •knows about all that can be learned, and would not listen to instruction would turn a deaf ear to even the most 'shining ministers of light.' Here tact steps in and easily strikes the balance keeps in check or gives free rein to the tongue teaches or pretends to be taught, making everything subservient to the "axe to be ground."

Tact rarely or never stumbles ubon a

just

to go, and never trespasses beyond, xc never mentions relatives who are under the ban talks of unpleasant episodes of character or business gives no hint that such things are known, and if mentioned by accident innocently doubts and ignores. It never talks of funerals at dinners or discourses of death at weddings it never speaks of ghosts just before retiring, or jests upon grave subjects. It makes the best of everything and deludes man into the belief that he is much better than he believed himself to be. It is a pleasant pastime to the ear, even though failing, tQ find a lodgment in the heart.

One without tact is forever running against feminine pins and masculine elbowu to use an old and homely expressive adage, is forever "putting his root" into something that will create trouble. Ho blunders into the sensitive subject of woman's age, and things regarding men thai causes shrugs and wjowls, and the more he attempts to extricate himself the deeper he flounders into the mire. He creates enemies without intention, and is brought up "with a round turn" when least expecting it. In attempting to pick arose Ue is sure to get stung by a thorntand in prescribing for sickness administers poison.

Tact is required in all the associations of life—at home as well as abroad. Upon it depends very much the p«*ce of the hearthstone. livery woman has a sufficiency of trial to bear, and her burden should be made as light as possible, and ah® too needs tact. It has been well written that "many a woman, endowed with noble attributes, and rich in sterling virtues, has passed through little beloved, life ... little appreciated, and eddom sought after, because she was lamentably deficient in this one conciliating, harmonizing quality of tactbecause ahe always rendered those with whom she associated discontented with themselves, and that engendered discontent with her.** l^ict —the way of getting along smoothly with others and making and keeping friends—is invaluable in this

Aneedete «f Artemua Ward*

There are yet living in Pottsvill®, Pa., several gentlemen who never hear the name of Artemus Ward without a smiling recollection of a pleasant night spent with that droll genius. In the winter of one of the earlier years of the war, Artemus Ward was advertised to doliver his famous lecture on the Mormons in the Town Hall at Pottsvill«. Much curiosity was excited by the announcement of his coming, and there waa every reason to expect that the hall would be crowded on the evening of the lecture. But one of the fiercest snow-storms that ever visited the town raged without intermission all day, and the night was wildly stormy when the lecturer was driven to the hall. He found awaiting him there only five men who had defied ths storm. Advancing to the front of the stage, and beckoning with his finger as if to a single individual, Artemus said, in an ordinary conversational tone.

Gome up closer." Not knowing precisely what to do, the audience of five compromised with their embarrassment by aoing nothing. Artemus changed his tone to that used by one who wishes to ooax, and saia: "Please come up closer and be sociable I want to speak to you about a little matter have thought of." Having succeeded in getting his audience to move up nearer the stage, the humorist said: "I move that we do not have any lecture here this evening, and I propose instead that we adjourn to the restaurant beneath and have a good time." He then put the motion, voted on it himself, declared it carried, and, to give no opportunity for an appoal from the chair, at once led the way to the restaurant. There he introduced himself to his intended auditors, and spent several hours in their oompany, richly compensating them for aisap-

ointment in the matter of the leoture the wit and humor of the stories and. anecdotes without number that he told. And that is how Artemus Ward lectured in Pottsville.

Matrimonial Red Tape.

Marriage is always a solemn matter, but iu Europe, for non-residents, it is almost impossible. Miss McGraw. and Professor Willard Fiske were recently married at Berlin with endless formalities—one day by civil marriage and the next with* religious ceremony. Minister White mentioned at the wedding breakfast that there had been "interviews with ministers to secure dispensations from publication of the banns interviews with various other official personages to relieve our friends now so nappily united from long and tedious formalities and finally yesterday a marriage before the civil authorities, done, I am bound to sav with a completeness, a thoroughness, a provision for every possible oontingency, an amount of reading and signing of paper, whioh filled us all with astonishment and admiration. And now we have had the religious ceremony, which our friend Auerbach declares an exceedingly beautiful one, and our friends may fairly bo put upon the list of much-married people/'— Christian Uniun.
