THE H ••• itON EXPOSITOR. - 3 A Dangerous Descent. sse Excursion Party—Shooting the La- chine Rapids in a Storm. A party of Americans from the White Mountains making the tour of the St. Taawrence ,experieneed a, lively, if not enpleasa,nt, sensation on Thursday evening, 17th ult., while descending the famous Lachine Rapids. As the vessel approached the most dauserous rwage on the river the forward' deck ins thronged with tourists, eagerly awaiting the appearance of the famed rapids. The scene was beautiful, the majestic steamer with the various decks crowded with passengers, arrayed in tood para - bright hued attire, rapidly descending from the with the swift current, the beautiful ses, and I waters dotted with miniature islets, the utes more many beautiful villas along the shore one hand, bundle. It flickered an illistant and then went out. I felt and found the straw damp. Just then a dull, faint, rumbling sound came down the wind, and I knew she was corning. The traiu would soon be there.

To be sure, when we are transferred to passenger cars the work is nice enough, but the dangers we have to go through (for generally we have to go through on freight cars first) entitle us to something better on. a passenger car, and we ain't sorry when we get or- ders to take the head end.cf such a reg- ular train. There are very few brakemen who can't tell some never -to -be forgotten in- cident connected with their life oia the rail. To explain; let me tell you a story of my own experience.

The e were no electric telegraphs, no post office money orders, no steel pens—in cOnnaon use— no envelopes, no perambula ors. There were no cheap newspaper a no shilling magazines, no postcards, o perforated stamps and counterfoil, ad no para -1 ffine candles. There was liot an hotel in England where a lady ould dine in a public room. There we onlytwo1 decent French restaurant a in London. There was no photograph , no benzo - line, no chloroform, no lycerine, no collodion, and no gun ce, ton. There were no mauve and no magenta dyes. There were no preserved neats, *soups or vegetables.

There man in the middle of a freight train. It p was running along on slow time that were no keyless nor rystal-cased night, and we were two or three miles watches--; no Albert or Bteguet watch- - from the station.

There Were no Bal- iumping as if a wheel had broken, and briggan nor Balmoral ho. iery. There 1 knew something was wrong. The were only a few velo ipedes, and whistle blew for brakes, and in a nsighty there were no revolvers., There waS short time we had. the train stopped. no gutta-percha, and but Very few ci- " With the rest af the men I went gars. back to see what was the matter, think - two prongs ; re unknown; ere not bag that I might get a chance at the stove, for I was nearly frozen. Going back about three hundred feet, we found that one of the rails had got loose and was out of place; but, as we had been going slow, we had run over the spot safely. Our conductor looked up, and seeing me, said hurriedly: "'Jim, get back and signal the pas- senger tram. She will be along in a short time now; and take this,' he said, handing me a red-light lantern; we'll go on. You—can come along on the other train.' "With that all hands got on board, and soon there was nothing but myself and the lantern left. 1 A cold gust brought me to myself with a quick turn, and then I remembered what I had to do. Holding the lantern up, I saw the light flickering, and shaking found it almost empty. "Then I began to feel the responsi- bility of my position. A lamp without oil in it, the train due in ten minutes, with the e,hances of it being thrown off. the track, and no telling how many peo- ple killed or wounded. .In a case of this kind, sir, every brakeman will do his hest to save humanlife, although he. sometimes loses his own in the attempt, and all he gets for it is having his name mentioned in the paper as being a brave fellow. "Quicker than I tell it, I made up my mind that the train must bc signalled, lamp or no lamp. But how to do it was , the queation. If I ran ahead without a light, the engineer might think I want- ed to,. stop the train for robbery—for such things have often been done, you know—aud would not only dash right on faster than ever, but, maybe try to scald me as the locomotive passed by. “I tell you I felt like praying just then, but brakemen are not selected for their religious feelings, sol didn't pray mueh, but looked around and saw a light shining in a windowsome distance off. I laid down ray lantern carefully on the track, made a be line for the house, and soon my knock brought a woman to the door, who looked more frightened than I was at my excited ap: pearance. It was useless to ask for sperm oil—the only sort We use—I cried. ant— " 'For God's sake give me. some straw.' "She seemed to realize the position, and quickly brought a lnindle. Feeling in my pocket I found three matches, and, grabbing the straw, I made my way back to the track. "Laying the straw between the rails,' I struck a match and shoved it into the barber sparked, "Was it yourdiamond. pin, JoeP'. and. this was oaught up and. ecb,oed nong the crowd which had gathere44 until the story grew that a diarnenc. pin worth $2,000 had been lost.

He was arefully watched by his wife and one or two ladies from the neigh- borhood. One afternoon the attending physicia . said he could not live through the day,,and the sorrowing wife, with a view to having everything in readiness for the end held consultation with her friends la,s to the arrangements for the funeral r The conversation was held at the be ide of the dying man, and in a short t e all the , details were ar- ranged xcept the naines of those who thould e asked to be pall bearers. Three + four young .gentlemen had ben s lected' when the wife said, in a, sobbin tone suitable to the occasion, "How Would Mr. So-b,nd-so do ?" "Oh, ; he wou do nicely," echoed the chorus of friends. "He's suCh a nice young man." There was a ,sudden movement under tie Coverines df the bed, and the dying hnsband slowly raised himself o11 one elb w, rubbed his eyes, and said. in a weak voice: "No, he won't do. I ain't go ng to have that fellow for one of my pall bearers." The ladies were astonis ed at this revival of the sick man, b t the wife laid him back gently on the, pillows, and said soothingly: Never hiiiid, dear, don't worry. This is a matter that need not trouble you. It is a ad duty which we will have to perforna after you are gone." "No it isn't,", Said the huslmi,nd crossly. "That fellow 'an't going to be one of my pall bearers. I don't like him, and I never did ; ai d if you are doing to have him I'll get well, see if I don't." Again he fell bac in bed and became uncon- scious, Ibut in a few hours there came a o'hango1 for the better. To -day he walks fhe streets as hale and hearty as any man. The Groc.6r's Joke. A grocer who had a little time to study human nature' wrote a note to several parties selected for the occasion, to the effect that he had lost his ac- count books, and Must depend upon their honor to call ad give in the bal- ance aeainst them. One of them re- plied that he presunied he owed three or four dollars, when the books showed that he owed twenty-eight dollars ; an- other thought there inight be a possible balance against Min, though he had beeis very,careful to pay cash down, and yet his account was fourteen dol- lars and over. Out bf twelve or four- teen customers, the, grocer, found one who replied that he bwed three . dollars and eighty cents, being fifty cents too much. 1 He then wrote. to each that he had found his books, and sent state- ment of account, and as they dropped into the store, one at a time, each laughed, shook hands, and remarked, "I knew it was one of your jokes, of course, and so I thought I'd give you a chance to play it clear through." s The Middy and the Lady. A well merited repartee was dealt by a smart midshipman to the daughter of a K. C. B., at 'a ball given by the latter to the,ns,val officers on the North Pa- cific station. The, middy was bold enough to ask the young lady to accept him for her partneri "Oh, dear, no," said the supercilious beauty. "Ma never allows me to dance with mid- shipmen I" Somebedy let her know the middy was a lord, and she repent- ed, and by -and -bye reminded him he was engaged to her for the net dance. The youngster, however, was not so easily to be mollified, and, remembering the lady had native blood in her veins, smilingly replied, "Oh, dear, no. Ma never allows me to dance with squaws." —Chambers' Journal. Proving the Likness. There lived in Brussels a 'celebrated painter named Wiertz, w ose eccentri- cities were such as to give him the name of the crazy artist. That there was method in his madne, s, the follow- ing anecdote shows: Aft r having. fin- ished a portrait of the ol aristocratic Countess de Arnos, who p etended to be only thirty, when nearly ixty, she re- fused to accept the painting, saying it did not look anything likEIlj herself, and that her most intimate frie ds would not recognize a single feature her on that piece of canvass. Wiertz piled kindlY at the remark, and, as a tie knight of old, gallantly reconduotedI the lady t� b.er carriage, Next morn g there was a grand disturbance in Ithe Rue de Madeline, A big crowd Was gathered before a -window, and the llowing wag whispered from ear to dir : "Is the Countess de Arnos really iIi gaol for her debts ?" Wiertz had exe ised a little vengeance towards his no1e but unfair customer. As soon as she had refuse the portrait, he set to work and painte a few iron bars on the fpicture, with these words: "In gaol fof debt." He exhibited the painting ii a jeweller' avindow in the principal stfeet in Brus- sels, and the effect was ijistantaneous. A few hours later the ountess Wak hack at Wiertz's studio, souring invee- tives on, him at high press re—" to have exhibited her likeness nndr such scan- dalous "—&c. "Most no1e lady," waa the artist's reply, "you sald the paint- ing did not look and that your most in- timate friends would not have rec4 nized a single one of youi features itt the picture. I wanted to est the truth of your statement, that , s all." The portrait was taken away, t e city laugh- ed, the artist charged dou le price, ani gave the amount to the poor of the city. A Practical j 'ke. Joe Skinner was once !the greatedt joker in Oil City, and one, of his tricks came near bringing on a iot one day.

Training the hand and eye to do the work well, leads individuals to form correct habits in other respects, and a good workman is in most cases a good citizen. No one need hope to rise above his present situation who suffers small things to pass by unimproved, or who neglects, metaphorically spealdng, to pick up a cent because it is not a dollar. Some of the wisest law makers, the best statesmen, the most merciful judges, the most ingenious workmen rose from the great mass. A rival to a certain lawyer sought to humiliate him publicly by saying, "Yon blacked ray father's boots once." 'Yes," said the 1.awyer, unabashed, "and 1. did it well." And by his habit of doing even little thlugs well, he rose to ereater. It is proper attention to health that enables us to attend to business.
