TOIL AND PARADISE. 
No more beautiful lesson has been tangnt by a 
modern poet than in these stanzas by W iuttiee. 
Adam and Eve exiled from the Harden, bad sat 
down disconsolate on the outer side of the wall of 
Paradise, and there an angel f*tind them bewailing 
their rate. Thereupon the radiant presence spoke: 
*• Arise," he said, “ why look behind 
When hope is all before. 
And patient hand and willing mind, 
Your lose may yet restore Y 
“ I Jeaye with yon a epell whose powers 
Can make the desert glad, 
An i call around you fruit und flowers 
As fair as Eden had. 
“ I clothe your hands with power to lift 
The corse from off yonr soil, 
Your very doom shall seem a gift, 
Your loss a gain, through toil. 
“ Go. cheerful as your humming bees. 
To labor as to play." 
While gleaming over Eden's trees 
The angel passed away. 
The pilgrims of the world went forth 
Obedient to the word. 
And found, where'er they tilled the earth, 
A garden of the Lord. 
Once more, oh white-winged Angel, stand 
Where man still pines and grieves, 
And lead, through Toil, to Edcn-land, 
New Adams and new Eves!

WHAT AN ENGINEER TOLD. 
1 am an engineer. Ever since the C. road was 
laid, I’ve traveled over it every day, or nearly 
every day of nov life. 
For a good while I’ve had the same engine in 
charge—the San Francisco—the prettiest engine 
on'the road, and as well managed, if I say it, as 
the best 
mon as 6team is, is fit to put into the hands of a “ Joe,” cried I, “tell me what has happened, 
drunkenman? And some day, mark my words, j “It’s 9 o'clock," said Joe. “ } ou came home

feelings of an engineer who has about the same 
as murdered a train full of people must be, and you 
will know if you don’t stop where you are. A 
steady hand and a clear head have been your 
blessings all these years. Don’t throw them 
away, Ned. If you don't care for my love, don’t 
ruiu yourself.” 
My IHtle Joe! She spoke Irom her heart, and 
I bent over and kissed her. 
One club night, us I was dressed to go, Joe 
stood before me. 
“ Ned,” said she, “ I never had a fault to find 
with you before. You’ve been kind, and good, 
and loving, always; but I shall be sorry we 
ever met if you go ou in this way. Don’t ask 
me what I mean ? Yon know.” 
“ Joe,” 6aid 1, “ it's only one club night.” 
“ It will grow,” said she. 
Then she put her arms around my neck. 
“Don’t he afraid, child. I’ll never pain you 
go again.” 
And I meant it; but at 12 o’clock that night I 
felt that I had forgotten my promise and my 
resolution. 
1 couldn’t go home to Joe. I made up my 
mind to sleep on the club sofa and leave the 
place for good next day. A ready 1 felt my brain 
reel as 1 never had before. In an hour I was in 
a land of stupor. 
It was morning. A waiter stood ready to 
brush my coat. I saw a grin upon his face. My 
head seemed ready to burst; my hand trembled! 
I looked at my watch ; I eawthftt I bad only five 
minutes left to reach the depot! 
J He’s words came to my mind. tVas I fit to 
take ‘charge ol' au engine? I was not fit to an¬ 
swer. 1 ought to have asked some sober man. 
As it was, 1 only caught up my hat and rushed 
away. I was just iu time. 
The Ban Francisco glittered in the morning 
bud. The cars were filling rapidly. From my

ACCIDENTS OF SPEECH. 
Pat has long labored under the imputation of 
making more “ accidents ” with the tongue than 
any of his fellow mortals, hut it can he very 
readily shown that the “ bull ” is not necessa¬ 
rily indigenous to Irish soil. 
A Frenchman named Gallon, who died in 
Puriis not many years ago, whs remarkable for a 
bovine tendency. There is a letter ol his in ex¬ 
istence as follows“ My dear friend: I left my 
knife at your lodgings yesterday. Pray send it to 
me if you find it. Yours, Gallon. P. B. Never 
mind sending the knife; 1 have found it.” 
There is a note to his wife, which he sent home 
with a basket of provisions, the postscript, to 
which read:—“You will find my letter at the 
bottom of the basket. If you should fail to do 
so, let me know- as soon as possible.” 
Itjls said of this same eharucter that on one 
occasion he took a lighted taper to find his way 
the sun, and a baby; and I always had a dollar 
or two put by for a ruiny day. 1 was an odd 
kind of a man. Being shut up with the engine, 
watching with all your eyes and heart and soul, 
inside and out, don't make a man talkative. 
My wife’s name was Josephene, and 1 called 
her Joe. Some people called me unsociable, and 
couldn’t understand how a man could feel friend¬ 
ly without saying ten words au hour. Bo, 
though I had a few old friends—dear ones, too— 
IJdidjnot have so many acquaintances as most 
people, and did not care to have. The house 
which held my wife and baby was the dearest g . j We werC 0 fy

Among them was an old gentleman l knew by 
eight—one of the shareholders: be was bidding 
two timid girls adieu. 
“Good-by Kitty—good-by Lue,” 1 heard him 
say, “don’t be nervous. The San Francisco is 
the safest engine on the line, and Guelden the 
most careful engineer. I wouldn’t be afraid to 
trust every mortal I love in a hatch to their 
keeping. Nothing could happen wrong with the 
two together.” 
I said, “I’ll get through it somehow, and Joe 
shall never talk to me again.” After all, it was 
easy enough. I reeled as I spoke. 1 heard the 
place ou earth to me, except the old house which 
held my mother up in A. 
I never belonged toaclnfo, or mixed myself up 
with strangers in aSBJ such way, and never should 
if^it had not been for’Granby. You sec, Granby 
was one of the shareholders, a handsome, showy 
fellow. I liked to talk with him, apd we were 
friends. He often rode from Z. to A., and back 
again, and once he said: 
“You ought to belong to the Scientific Club, 
Gucldon.” 
“Never heard of it,” said I. 
“ 1 am a member,” said he. “ We meet once 
a fortnight, and have a jolly good time. We 
want thinking men like you. We have some 
among us now. I’ll propose you, if you like.” 
I'was fond of such things, and J bad ideas that 
I fancied might be worth something. But then, 
an engineer dou’t have nights and days to him¬ 
self, and the club would have one evening in a 
fortnight from Joe. 1 said : 
“ i’ll ask her. If she likes it, yes.” 
“ Ask whom V” said he. 
“ Joe,” said I. 
“ If every man had asked his wife, every man’s 
wife would have said, ‘ can’t spare you, my dear,’ 
aud we should have had no club at all,” said 
Granby, 
Butl made no answer. At home I told Joe. 
She said: — “ Then if Granby belongs to it they 
mustibe superior men.” 
“ No doubt,” said I. 
“It isn’t everybody who could he made a
