The group of his listeners, who had been hilariously telling some funny experiences a few moments before, quieted down. ‘•1 was runnin' old 142,” he continued, “aud Bill Sikes—you all tnow Bill —was tirin'. We was takin’ the flyer west, and had orders to run clear through, ’less we wore signaled. I think the roadmaster was aboard, and we all knew that if we should pull up without a rattlin’ good reason he’d be after us. “We was runnin’ almost full head, I guess, for I know the breeze just hummed when I jogged the cab winder a little. The old engine rocked just like as if it was on the briny deep, only faster. Well, we was goin’ likety split up through the northern part of that town that used to stand by the bend. Bill was shovelin’ coal like a good one, and I gave the whistle a toot now and then to let folks know we was coinin’. “As I was sayin’ boys, we was just, scootin’, goin’ round the curve, too. Just then I cast my eyes as far up the track as I could see, and right then I saw something that brought my heart right up in my mouth. I shook all over. Bill saw the thing as soon as I did. and Bill’s eyes bulged aud his hair stood right up. “There was something on the track. I could just see a little while sun bunnit and a calieker dress and a little red ribbon peepin’ out from a bunch of as pretty golden curls as I ever see.” The old man stopped. He swallowed mysteriously a number of times and drew his horny palm across his eyes. The group of listeners only ■”*»M*aved forward a little aud held their "breath. “I couldn’t stop, boys. It was no use. The flyer was heavy, ami we was goin’ nearly sixty an hour. When I got strength enough to push in that throttle and slap on the air we’d struck. We stopped. Bill and me jumped out and shuddered as we did.” The group of listeners turned away sick at heart. Tue old engineer went on: “I picked up a wig of golden hair, and Bill two or three pieces of straw and an old sun bonnet. Just then a gang of ragged imps stuck their heads from behind an old barn and howled: •Did you ever, ever, ever git left?'” The group who had listeued in horror to the old engineer's sad story looked tired and faded away. Court Your Wife. Oh middle-aged man. I've a word with you, As j ou sit in your office this morn; Has the worry of life, with its folly and strife. Pierced jour heart like a festering thorn? Does t lie touch of your gold feel too clammy and cold. Are you weary of flattery's scorn? Alas, for the days when the passions of youth Burn low tn the desolate heart! When the laughter and tears of our innocent years Never more from the sympathies start. And the hideous mien of indulgence is seen 'Neuth the flattering mantle of art! Perhaps you've tried friendship, and onto have found Deception and selfishness rife; Perhaps you have poured to the needy- youi hoard, Tobe prick'd by ingratitude's knife: And perhaps you have been through the whole round of si n— Did you ever try courting your wife? No? Then take my advice and I think you will find 'Tfs a pleasure as charming as new.

And when you go home to-night buy a bouquet Os tne flowers site used to admire. Put them into her hand when before her you stand. With a lover-like kiss of desdre. And oh I Watch her eyes when they ope with surprise. And flame up from a smoldering fire! Then all the long evening be tender and kind. Hover near her with eager delight: Call her “Darling” and “Sweet,” the old titles repeat Till her lace is with happiness bright— Try it, world-wearied man, 'tis au excellent phin. Go a-courting your dear wife to-night! —George Horton, The Girl in the Moon. It may not be generally known, but there is the head of a girl in the moon. It is a profile aud can be easily discerned when the moon is full. When the moon is in the eastern sky she is looking north and the head inclines upward. At the top of the yellow orb von will see her hair and a sort of a haughty bang which conceals most of her forehead; a little below you will see her eye; then comes her nose (this is rather indistinct); then you will see the chin, underneath which a very shapely neck curves back, indicating that she is well-fed.

AN ACTIVE VOLCAN3. The Eruption Now in Progress in the B Sandwich Islands. The latest news and photographs from the volcano, supplemented with reliable stories of eye witnesses, testify that Hawaii’s natural wonder is probably at present the greatest volcanic phenomenon in the entire world, savs [. the Honolulu Bulletin. Much has been written and many views and paintings 3 have been made of the volcano, but I nothing heretofore comes near equal- . ing the present increasing state of frightful and continued activity. Halemaumau is surrounded by a depressed circumference of about two - and a half miles of intermittent activity. It is within this radius that many late visitors have thought they discovered new r lakes when in fact they were deceived by appearances. Blow holes are constantly forming around Halemaumau —at one time thirteen were counted by J. J. Williams of Honolulu—which discharge an intermittent stream of molten lava. This discharge is caught upon the thin shell of lava formed over the surface of a hell of tire, and consequently only partially cooling, forms a temporary tableland of lava, which is given a lake-like pulsation by the terrible heat beneath. But as soou as the center of activity shifts the table-land sinks into the crust, and the supposed new lake melts away. But it is not here that the real center of volcanic activity ex- | ists, nor does the historic Halemaumau j exhibit the same slate of red-hot displacement that is exhibited in Dana lake, the real center of disturbance. As all know, this lake is situated somewhat to the west of Halemaumau. and has for a long time been gradually becoming a more noticeable feature of the volcano,and while, as around Halemaumau, the cooling floor is in a constant state of change ami increasing activity, Dana lake is at all times in a furious storm of molten ebullition beyond word description. A dim outline, however, has been given of this great nauiral phenomenon by a series of most wonderful pictures now being developed at an art gallery in Honolulu. A series of live exposures. made as rapidly as the plates could be exchanged, show’ some of the wonderful ami unparalleled changes which are momentarily going on. In this lake 100 fiery mountains, ranging | from fifteen to forty feet in height, are in constant play and change. The lake is surrounded by a levee formed by the constant play of the fire fountains, which deposit the lava in shreds ami masses. This levee is a wall of black, glistening lava, which, nt night, as fresh lava falls upon it, flashes into a fiery embankment, marking the entire circumference of the lake. The usual scene of volcanic action has been the gradual breaking up and reforming of centers of activity, while now’ the entire depression of two amt a half miles in circumference mentioned, containing both Halemaumau and Dana lake as centers of greatest actn ity, is jn a constant and increasing state of frightful ami unexampled commotion. The trail across the original floor of the crater is, however, in no danger, and tourists are enabled to get one of the best views possible ot the volcano. There is great danger on the tloor of the lower depression, ami some of the incidents related by Mr. Williams, who has furnished the data for this short sketch.are full of thrilling adventure. Many tourists have visited the volcano siooe the present slate of worn! tful activity began, and from all accounts and by a judicious interpretation of historic analogies of former | times it is believed that the center of ( disturbance will be largely increased i and continued for many months, | Many tourists from America and else- | where will doubtless take advantage ■ of the present season for seeing a sight which may never again occur in the present decade, and w hich will probably not occur until the cud of thj next. T .ie Climate of Japan. Really it rains far too frequently in this otherwise charming Japan, and I one can indeed scarcely expect any permanent dr)' weather except in autumn. Every wind seems to bring rain-clouds up from the encircling Pacific to break upon the evergreen peaks of Nippon; while in winter, so great is the iulluence of the neighboring Arctic circle, with its cold currents of air and water, that Christmas in Kiu-Shiu—which lies in the same latitude with the months of the Nile— I sees the thermometer sometimes below zero. Except for certain delicious periods of the year one cannot honestly praise the climate of Japan; but it has certainly divine caprices; and when the sunshine does unexpected!}’ come, during the chilly ami moist months, the light is very splendid and of a 1 peculiar silvery tone, ami the summer j days are golden. For tiiis the teaplant, :e.id young bamboo-shoots, ami i the other subtropical vegetation wait patiently underneath the snows; indeed, all the sun-loving plants of the land have lurked, like the inhabitants, to “wait till the clouds roll by.” Some of the most beautiful know how to defy the worst weather with a curious hardihood. You will see the camellias blossoming with the ice thick about their roots, and the early plum-blooms covered with a fall of snow which is not more white and delicate than the petals with which it thus mingles.— Scribner.

The girl he was going to see was tin- I questionably pretty, but he knew that her mother did not like him. So, one evening after the engagement, in the gloom of the gathering shades, he saw the old lady in the parlor. It was a bold stroke, but unexpectedly to her h e kissed her. After her first pretended Hutter of excitement of course he apologized and said she looked so exactly like her pretty daughter in face and fignre that his mistake was natural. In the goodness of her heart she not only pardoned him but is now his next best friend in that house. This shows that mothers-in-law, if properly approached are only human after all.—Philadelphia Tinies.
