Our Youthful Days. BY PROF. W. K. BURR, M. A., PH. D.
Onward, boys! be up and doing, Every time we know twill pay ; Catch the moments as they're flying,
Youthful days soon pass away.
Never stop like drones and idlers, In your youth be now in haste, Age will c me and bring its sorrows, Then beware the time you waste.
In your early life what pleasures Cheer you onward day by day ; Just the time to lay up treasures— Youthful days soon fly away.
Look around and see lives wasted, Here and there on every hand ;
From their fate learn golden lessons ; ‘Take a bold and noble stand.
Do not be an idle dreamer—
Let your hearts with courage thrill ; On to distant heights advancing,
Up tife’s long and rugged hill.
Write your names on scrolls of virtue, Let your dees be just and true ; Never pause in all your journey, But be careful what you do.
Doers reach the highest summit With bright lanrels on their brow ; They were thosé who fought to conquer, Seizing first the golden ‘* now.”
Let me urge as one that loves you, Be in earnest while you may ;
Time so precious now is passing, Youthful day $ scon pass away.
Lurk around in various ways, | Lack of care and cautious training In their early youthful days.
| -One cause why 80 many failures
' QO, how many wishes daily,
They their lives might live again ; | If you'd not be of their number, .Work like heroes, ne'er complain.
Idlers, beggars throng the city, Poor outcasts, and wretches too 3
From whose presence turn in pity, Learn a lesson, dare and do,
Every step climb towards the summit, Shun the many paths of sin ;
Now’s the time in youthful beauty, In the narrow way begin.
Tread the way of wisdom gently, And your work just do it well ; Then the good you will accomplish, Other days and years will tell.
Let it ring down through the ages, That you did net live in vain ; That you worked like heroes nobly, For the victor’s crown to gain.
To this end, Dean Boys, I tell you, PRINCIPLE will make the man ;
Gold and silver they will perish— Get them justly if you can.
Wisdom, goodnem, wealth and power, Fill life's cup of joy each dey ; But remember now in boyhood,
Youthful days soon pass away: LS TEE
A Telegrapher's Adventure.
A SHOCKING EXPERIENCE.
/
John Warner sat by his telegraphic table, a trifle pale perhaps, but seemingly cool and in no way disturbed by the extraordi- nary situation. The stranger, who wore a a wide-brimmed hat and was dressed in the rough costume of a frontiersman, leaned over the counter, his right elbow resting on it, which enabled him to hold the heavy six-shooter without a tremble. The six- shooter ** covered” Warner. The follow- ing was the conversation that ensued :
‘*What time does the night express pass ¢””
‘*She’s due in about half an hour, but she is over an hour late.”
**An hour late, eh ?”
‘*Yes, besides she doesn’t stop here. You'll have to go to Bloomville if you want to take the express.”
‘** But if you telegraphed to Bloomville for her to stop here she'd stop here wouldn’t she?”
** No, she wouldn’t.” |
** Hasn't she ever stopped here?”
**Once or twice.”
‘*What made her?”
‘* Orders from the train despatcher.”
‘** Where does he hve ?”
‘** Centre City.”
‘* Well, then, the messages from Centre City to Bloomville must pass through this office, mustn’t they ?”
** Of course.”
‘Allright. Then you could send a mes- sage from here that the Bloomville folks wouldn’t know but what it come from Cen- tre City, couldn’t you ”
**T could, but I wouldn’t.”
‘““Oh, wouldn’t you? Not if I asked you? Well, young man, I’ll be plain with you. Ifyoudon’t send just what I tell you to, I'l] send a couple of bullets through you. We've torn up the track, just round the bend, so the train’]l stop anyhow, and there will be an eternal smash. Now we dont want to bother anybody. We just wanta certain package that’s in the ex- press car. We know it’s on this train.’ We expect to have to kill the expressmen, for there will likely be an extra man to, guard that package. It’s valuable, it is. | If you don’t stop that train you perhaps | kill fifty people and get shot yourself. If
ou do, the folks in the sleeping car will never know anything out of the way, and we will have the cash without any bother, ; Savey?” {
‘*] understand. Let me think a mos ment.”
““ Well, hurry up. There’s no time to lose.”
‘*Ts the track torn up now or are you going to do it if I don’t stop the train?”
‘* The track’s torn up now.”
“All richt. Ul stop the express.”
* Now, look here, young fellow. If want you to understand this. if you try any fooling you won't catch us aud you'll get \ghot yourself. Nobody can cone here, for
my friends are around this shanty and won't let anybody near here.”
** Nobody comes here, anyhow, at night. Or in the daytime, either, for that matter.”
‘* All right. I want you to clearly under- stan just the fix you're in. We all have fast horses, and even if you brought a regi- ment on that train they coulda’t catch us and you would have afew bullets in you before I got on my horse.”
**T understand.”
‘All right again. Then go ahead.”
The operator put his hand on the key, but sat there thinking and did not press it.
‘‘Now, see here; you hurry up there. I don’t want any monkey business.”
The operator turned sv sharply round on him that the other instinctively raised his revolver a little.
“Will you oblige me by keeping your cussed mouth shut? I'll start when | get ready, and don’t you forget it. Dm run- ning this machine and don’t you forget that. If you don’t like it shoot and be hanged to you, and then do your own tele- graphing.”
**That’s the way to talk,” cried the des- perado with admiration. ‘*That’s business. Darned if ever I heard a man talk like that with a gun pulled on him. You go right ahead and if you do this thing square we'll whack on the swag. It’s rather tiresome standing here, so I'l! just take this chair in- side. 1 won't interfere.
‘‘All right,” said the operator, ‘* make yourself at home.”
Then he turned to the table and began telegraphing.
“*Kiick-a-lick, klick-a-lick, klick-a-lick, klick-a-lick,”” went the instrument rapidly.
** What's that?’ saidthe desperado, fdr- getting his vow of non-intertarence of a moment before. ‘* It seems to be all the same thing.”
“It is. I am calling the office at Bloom- ville.”
**Klick-a-lick, klick-a-lick—chuck.”
‘There, I've got em. Now, don’t inter- rupt me. I'll tell you whatis said when I’m through.”
The outlaw leaned forward with a puz- zled expression, and doubtless wished he knew as much about telegraphing as he did about shooting.
‘*Is Stevens there ?” ment at Bloomfield. wants him.”
There was a pause, and then the instru- ment at the lonely way station answered.
Warner rapidly rattled out, the following message :
‘This shanty is in the possession of a villan who has a pistol pointed at me while I work. I expect it is the Zama County

toward the ceiling and fell in a heap on the floor.
‘*Throw up your hands, you villan,” — Warner, pointing his own pistol at

The whole gang were induced to return to Bloomville with tke sheriff shortly after.
Temperance at Alexandria, Lot 49.
On Monday evening, 27th inst., the writer had the pleasure of attending a tem- perance concert at Alexandria, in Rev. Mr. Baker's church, under the auspices of the Sabbath-School in connection with said church. The pastor occupied the chair. The church was filled to overflowing, many persons not being able to gain admittance.
The temperance sentiment in this beauti- ful farming district is grand, as was shown on the part of the minister, the superinten- dent of the Sabbath-School, the teachers and the whule body of the people. The writer came to the conclusion that, with such a warm temperance sentiment on the part of the people, the traffic in intoxicat- ing liquor in this neighborhood must cease. The temperance sentiment in this place is moving onward and upward to final prohi- bition, under the Scott Act as a good edu- cator, and with the other communities over this Province with the same sentiment and end in view the final triumph must come. If every pastor and superintendent in our churches and Sabbath-Schools throughout the Island would do as Mr. Baker and Mr. Judson have done in Alexandria, with the assistance of our Superintendent of Educa- tion in enforcing the use of the Text Book on temperance in the day schovls, the end of the saluon business would soon come.
The following programme was successful- ly carried out, with Mr. J. W. Judson as leader of the choir and Mr. G. H. Moore, of Pownal, organist:—
PROGRAMME.
Opening piece by choir, ‘‘A Welcome to All.”
Responsive reading, Prov. 4th chap.
Prayer by Rev. Mr. Baker.
Music by choir, ‘t Sound the Battle Cry.”

Music by choir, ‘“‘One sweetly solemn
gang that is round the place. They are going to rob the express. I’m suppesed to! be telegraphing orders for it to stop here. | Now, can’t you make up a special there and | get the sheriff and a strong posse to come | down and gather in the gang ?”
‘‘Tlido it. There’s a freight engine here now, and I’}i put the boys in some box cars.”
**No, don’t do that. Make up a train of passengers. Puta Pullman on behind if
you have it and make it look as like an ex- press train as you can. Then sénd her!
the No. 9 there till they get back.”
**Good idea. Now what are you gving todo? They'll shoot you.”
‘*Can you make a connection with the town arc light and get them to put their full current on? I'll connect it in some way with the fellow here and he'll never know what struck him.”
** We haven't time for that. have to go down to the dynamo office and | get them to turn off all the city lights and | then make connections. It would take too long and it would burn out every swith board on the circuit. But I can give you all the cell currents we have here, and that will paralyze any rough from Zama and per- haps kill him. Anyhow, you can get his gun before he recovered. When you're ready just call the office. Ground your cur- rent and I'll send it along on the big wire,”
‘*Seems to take a lot of telegraphing to stop a train,” said the desperado, un- easily.
‘It does. You see the train is behind time, and they don’t want to stop her. I told thei there was a special that would pass her here. They waut to know all the particulars. Now I'll have to move about a bit. I must cut off the wire to Centre City. IfI don’t, they may tele- graph to the despatcher’s office about that special, and then it would be all up with us.”
‘‘ That’s right; go ahead.”
“Well, don’t let that revolver go off.”
‘Tt never goes off till I tell it to, and then it’s sure death. As long as you act square it won’t go off.”
The telegrapher went to a drawer and took out a piece of wire and to one end attached a pair of scissors. The other end he connected with the big wire from Bloomville. He fussed around the switch- board, and then took a pail of water and said: ‘* Look out for your feet. I must damp down the floor, so that there will be no dust to interfere with the instru- ments.”
We would!
** Water won't hurt anythiag outside of;
me,” said the man; ‘I'd hate to try it in- side, though.”
Having wet the floor the operator sat down to his table again. ‘** Klicky-lick ” went the instrument. Next instant there was a blinding flash of greenish light in the room. The man started to his feet.
‘‘ Thunder,” he cried, ‘** what’s that 7
‘*' You struck it the first time. Thunder somewheres.”
‘“I’m afraid it will interfere with us. But I can fix it. Hand me that screw-driver, quick.”
The screw-driver was handed, but all the time the pistol covered him. The visitor was not a man to be taken off his guard. Warner worked with the screw-drver a
