stone and dragged him down.
Yon could not' have been with Roy
Peitoii very long without finding out
Just. What the trouble was. He was
always' genial and friendly. It was no
legit of temper you may be sure.
Sometimes his friends thought his
temper was too easy, and in his care-
less gaiety their warnings and remon-
`• strances made no impression on him,
and were forgotten as they were ut-
tered. You see that was Roy's trouble
—he forgot,
f'Going fishing, Roy?" hie father
said to him one morning. "Well, be
sure ii,nd shut the pasture gate as you
o through. -You left it open the last
Arne, you remember."
:'All right, sir," he called back, with
the frank smile that made his mother
think him the handsomest boy in the
world; and presently his merry whistle
was making the woods and valley ring.
-Re came home that evening with a
basket of fish, and cried enthusiastical-
ly"Oh, I've had the jolliest day) I ne v-
et did have so much fun!"
"I am glad you enjoyed it," said his
father, grimly. "My day has not been
quite so pleasant. I have worn myself
out trying•_to, -remedy the results of
,your carelessness. You left the pas
ture gate open this morning, and all
the cattle got out. Dick and I had to
,quit work and spend the entire day
getting them back."
"Oh, I'm really sorry!" exclaimed
Roy with a dismayed look. "I fully
'intended to shut the gate, but I must
have forgotten it."
"Roy, did you fasten the door of the
:'corn crib?" asked his father one even-
. -_ling, when he had come in from his
work.
' "Yes, sir—that is, I think I did," was
the ready answer.
"You had better go out and see,"
urged Mr Delton, but Roy replied in
his careless confident fashion:
"Oh, I'm pretty sure I closed it.
However, I'll go out and see before
bedtime."
w:> ` But the next morning, there was
the crib wide open, and there was one
of the best horses in the agonies of
death because it had helped itself to
the corn, and had eaten too much.
"I d,in't,see why father should be so
r t ngry with me," Roy said to his moth-
j'He ought to know. that I didn't
o r on purpose. I simply forgot." -
Mr Delton came in at that moment
and heard the last words. .He was
very angry, and it must be acknow-
ledged that he had sufficient reason.
"That is always your excuse,"he said.
"You forget. Does that remedy the
evil or keep you from repeating it?
You are always doing some mischief
by your carelessness, and then you
say 'I forgot,' as though that settled
the whole matter. I can't help think-
ing that such conduct is the result of
pure selfishness and utter disregard
of others."
Roy stared at his father with widen-
ing eyes. Never before in his life had
such things been said to him, and he
was deeply mortified, and considered
himself agrieyed and humiliated. For
two or three days afterwards he went
around with a cloud on his face, and at
last he told his mother:
"I suppose father thinks I am not fit
to stay on the farm, where my mis-
takes do so much mischief. The best
thing I can do is to acccept Captain
Sinclair's offer and go into the tele-
graph office.
And though the subjectwas discuss
ed with great earnestness for two o
three weeks Roy finally bad his way
- and went. His father was. very gray
through it all, and just as Roy wa
startipg he took the boy aside and
said, more seriously than he had spok-
en in hie life:
"Your mistakes have hurt me a
great deal, in time and work as well as
in pocket. They have caused me a
great deal of anxiety and, annoyance.
Never mind about that now. I shall
never mention it again. But there are
vocations in which mistakes cost more
than money. They cost human life.
The railroad business is one of them."
fulness should be fraught with such
- consequences! If he had trained him -
r self to remember before forgetfulness
became a crime!
e ! He had been sitting there how long
s he knew not, when the shrieking of
whistles, and the rumbling of car
wheels aroused him.
Were more trains passing to rush in-
to that awful scene up the road? He
arose, weak as an old mau, end totter-
ed out upon the platform. And there
backing slowly into the station, came
the excursion train with the special
foollowing it. Not a car; splintered,
not a wheel was broken. The excur-
sionist looked (curiously from the win-
dow, and a golden haired baby leaned
outland threw a kiss at him with her

J
Roy went away, but that little
speech went with him. He thought
of it all the way to town, and it was
with him many a day afterwards, as
he sat in the telegraph .office at the
station learning to manipulate the key.
For once in his Life he remembered a
warning, and it gave him a sense of
his own responsibility that he found
very irksome. And yet strange to
1 say, he felt quite triumphant because
he made no mistakes now. •
"Father was very impatient and
never done me justice," he said to him-
self. "I suppose he sees by this time
that I am not so bad a fellow after
all."
He was so bright and so full of ener-
I gy that learning was like play and he
soon had the business mastered, and,
as he wrote to his mother, , was 'only
waiting for an opening.' In a short
time the opening came. A station
agent was wanted for a little town up
the road, and Captain Sinclair recom-
mended Roy for the position.
"He is very young,he said to the
superintendent, "but he is a bright
fellow, and understands his business.
I think you may trust him."
And so Roy found himself in charge
of an c.fflce where he shipped and re-
ceived freight, sold tickets, and was
express agent, telegraph operator and
everything. That is what he wrote
his mother.
The letter that came back was very
kind and encouraging, bet through it
all ran an undertone of anxiety. The
position was a great honor for a boy
like him, but so much depended on be-
ing careful. and now he must not for-
get.
"They must think I am a child,"
Roy muttered impatiently.
The dignity of the position had made
hirn more confident of himself and
more restless under advice. He was
not the first young man that became
arrogant over his own success. Such
arrogance sometimes needs a severe
lesson, Roy's lesson was coming.
An excursihn train went down the
road one morning to a town forty
miles below, where there was to be
a great picnic. - -Half of the towns-
people at Roy's station joined, all
in holiday attire, and with a tum-
ult of happy talk and laughter. While
the young station agent stood on the
platform and looked up at the coach
window regretfully—for he was young
and he loved fun and holidays—some
one leaned out and slapped him on the
shoulder.
"Roy Delton, as I'm living!" cried a
familiar voice, and Roy recognised one
of his old time chums at school, who
had ^gone out west with his family.
years ago.
Almost before they had clasped
hands the train began moving, but the
friend shouted back:
"Say, Roy! I'll stop off when we
corse back this evening, and spend to-
morrow with you!"
And then the train rounded the curve
and was out of sight.
All that day Roy thought of nothing
else but the pleasure of meeting his
old friend, and the many things he
would have to say to him when he
carne back. Old Percy King! What
times they had had together!
He grew impatient as the time ap-
proached for the train to return, and
was so preoccupied that he scarcely
comprehended a message that came
clicking over the wires:
"Side track 48, excursion train, and
wait for northbound special."
He answered with the usual 'O.K.',
and hurried out to meet the train and
Percy King.
Such handshaking and rejoicing as
there was. While they walked about
with their arms over one anothers
shoulders. the train moved out and
Roy went on talking of what he had
done. He talking about his father
then and he said:
"I used to think father was hard on
me, but I was rather careless, I sup-
pose. However I am well over that
now.
t/
Then he remembered.
Percy was amafed to see him fall
back into a chair. Almost instantly,
however, Roy sprang to the key and
called up the next town in feverish
haste.
"Forty-eight passed here by mis-
take. Detain special," was the mes-
sage he rattled off. The next moment
came the answer, sounding like a
thunderbolt in the quiet office:
"Special passed here fifteen minutes
ago.
Without a word the young telegraph-
er turned and went into the inner
office and locked himself in. He would
not listen to a ,human voice or look
into a human face. He had dropped
into the first chair, and he sat there,
pale to the lips, and chilled as though
he were turning into stone. His friend
was outside knocking on the door and
imploring to let him in, but he did not
hear him. He beard instead, over and
over again:
There are vocations in which mis-
takes cost more than money. They
cost human life. The railroad busi-
ness is one of them."
A horrible picture was before him—a
picture of toppling engines and crush-
ed cars full of mangled human bodies,
He could hear the shrieks and groans
as plainly as he could hear his own
name ringing around the world in ac-
cents of execration. He could see his
own ruined life, and his father's bow-
ed head, and mother dying broken
hearted.
And, he had only repeated the
offence, that had Spoiled his youth. He
had intended to do right, but he for-
got. Strange that a moment's forget-
_
mplen nand.
One of the trainmen was explaining
hastily, but the young station agent
was dazed, and hardly understood.
He heard something about a "hot box"
which had stopped the special, and so
the excursion train had time to work
the air brakes, though there was not
a distance of six feet to spare between
the noses of the two engines.
"Somebody has made an awful
blunder; it will be all day with him
when it comes out who he is," the man
added significantly.
The next day a young roan, with his
face so haggard that he looked ten
years older than his age, walked into
the office of the superintendent.
"My name is Roy Delten," he said.
"I am agent at Groveton. I made a
mistake yesterday that might have
cost two or three scoreoflives. I have
come to resign my place, and'you may
do what you please by way of pun-
ishment."
And then his overwrought nerves
gave way, and he fell at the superin-
tendent's feet.
An illness of several weeks followed,
and two or three weeks passed before
Roy knew he was in the company's hos-
pital, with his mother always near.
During the days of convalescence he
did a great deal of thinking, and once
he said somewhat sadly:
"I never realized it before, mother, ,
but now I know its no excuse to say 'I
.forgot.' People have no right to for-
get, whether it's a case of shutting
gates or of stopping trains. And the
worst of it is that the little things
grow into big things with human life
involved in them, and the fellow who
forgets finds himself ruined."
Perhaps it was a good thing after
all, that the superintendent happened
to be visiting the hospital that he was
standing near the door of the ward
and heard the little speech. At any
rate he came in, and said very kindly
for him:
"Young man you may report at my
office as soon as you are able. Your
lesson has been a severe one, but I
think you have learned it. At any
rate, I'll try you again."
LINCOLN'S HESITANCY TO f:,ARRY
APprehenslvoThat the Pathway Was Not
One of Flowers and senllsht.
Letters from Lincoln to his closest
friend, Joshua Fry Speed, subsequent to
the latter's marriage, betray an anxious
and impatient desire to learn if marriage
is a pathway of roses and sunlight, and
not of darkness and pain, the two had
morbidly feared it to bo. John Gilmer
Speed presents those hitherto unpublished
lettere bearing upon "Llnooln'e Hesitancy
to Marry," in the October Ladies' Home
Journal. In one Lincoln says:
"It oannot be told how It thrills me
with joy to hear you say you are 'far hap-
pier than you ever oxpeoted to be.' That
muoh I know Is enough. I know you too
well to suppose your expectations wore
not, at least sometimes, extravagant, and
if the reality exceeds them all, I say,
enongh, dear Lord. I am not going beyond
the truth when I tell you that the short
spade it took mo to read your last letter
gave mo more pleasure than the sum total
of all I have enjoyed sinoe tho fatal first
of January, 1841. Slnoo then, it seems to
me, I should have been entirely happy but
for the never -absent idea that there is one
(referring to Miss Mary Todd) who le still
unhappy, whom I have contributed to
make so. That still kills my soul. I can-
not but reproach myself for even wishing
to be happy while she is otherwise. She
accompanied a large party In the railroad
oars to Jacksonville last Monday', and on
Per return spoke so that I heard of it, of
having enjoyed the trip exceedingly. God
be praised for that. One thing I can full
you which I know yon will be glad to hear,
and that is that I have seen Mary and
scrutinized her feelings as well as I could,
and am fully convinced she is far happier
now than she has been for the last fifteen
months past."
Eight months after Speed had married
Mr. Lincoln wrote him:
"Bat I want to ask a olose question:
'Are yon now to feeling as well as judg-
ment glad that yon are married as you are?'
From anybody but me this would bo an
impudent question not to bo tolerated;
bat I know yon will pardon it in me.
Please anwser it quickly, as I am impa-
tient to know."
Mr. Lincoln's object in asking this
"close question" is manifest. Mr. Speed
made the anawor quickly and satlsfaotor-
ily,and on the fourth of November (1842),
one month exactly after the question had
been submitted, Mr. Lincoln was married.

PASTURING Hous.
While there hi no doubt but that the
practice of pasturing hogs is becoming
IBM popular every day, still there i8
room for a great deal more to be done
in this way,
When we speak of pasturing hogs,
we do not refer to the old-fashioned
method pursued by some farmers of
turning a number of hogs loose on the
roadside, or in a lane, as the case may
be, to fight for a living with the inevit-
able roadside cow, or possibly with
two or three colts, and half a dozen
head of young cattle, or else in a pas-
ture fleld that has been eaten bare and
dried up by the sun till it becomes a
genuine case of "Root, hog, or die";
we'refer to the intelligent use of clov-
ers and certain grasses as a large pro-
portion of the summer feed for a herd
of pigs that are looked upon not sim-
ply as scavengers, but as one of the
most valuable and remunerative pos-
sessions a farmer can have.
Our own experience in this direction
has been almost entirely confined to
brood sows, and young stock pigs that
were being raised for breeding pur-
poses, and we are free to say that the
result of that experience has been such
that we would no more attempt to
raise hogs on any scale without a suffi-
ciency of good clover pasture than we
would to raise sheep successfully with-
out a proper amount of suitable pas-
ture land—Bristles, in Farming for
November.

LIONS AND BICYCLE.
—tea
It was an odd and startling adven-
ture that befell the Rev R. P. Ashe, a
missionary in Africa, while touring on
a bicycle.
He had got far in advance of his
porters and was spinning along at a
pretty good speed, with his eye on the
path, when suddenly he heard a noise
as of animals galloping beside him.
True enough, on glancing to the right
he discovered three magnificent lions
keeping him company.
They were twenty or thirty yards to
one side, and kept along with him per-
haps a hundred yards. Then they
stopped, looked at him for a moment
—a strange being he must have looked
'n their eyes—and bounded away at
right angles, still stopping now and
then to look hack, till they disappeared
in the long grass.
