We believe that the bes t authorities recommend that night watchman tn big bulldings should be frequently changed, because when a man as made a certain round every night for years, or even months, and has never found a fire or a ef, he becomes quite bli? to eltuer of these should he chance to meet them later on. S23 ‘how this blindness would tellin the case of a driver of an express train. He has, perbaps, to makea journey of a hundred miles, and stop, . three times, but has to pass thirty, forty Or more signals, If the tratiis is weli rez- ulated he may travel th's road for months to- gether without ever finding one of these signals of “danger,” but were he to get in a condition of danger-biindness and not look out for these Signals the resuit would probably be that there would be a terrible accijent. He must on assuming that every signal is at danger, hough never in his experience has it been found to be so. He must also exercise patient and eae « — in inspecting al test neg engine; trust no one, but see that all ts right for himself. {t 13 really a matter for marvel that men are to be found to do this Work, and it becomes even more so when we read what Mr. Reynolds has to tell of the early years of training which every driver has togothrough. After an apalling story of hard work, irregular hours, and no little dan- ger, he goes ontosay: “It we were to sum ‘up the conditions on which a man can com- mand the regulator of an engine it would read thus—iniles to run, 200,000; coals to break up and put into the fire-vox In their Tope Place, 3,000 tons; day work, 3 years; nigel work, + years; Sunday work, 25 days per year; innue merable hair-breadth esc: eyes coLstantly on the roll, the mouth snut and the eara open, an iron constitution, a whistle on the lt 3, a warm heart, and an intelligent head, with the motto ‘Wait.’” As with the engine-driver, 80 with all the rest of a ratlway staff—they must always aseume that things are wrong they are proved to be right.

She fs greatly re- spected by all who know her, and is undoubdt- edly 8 most estimable person, of whom her father might be honestly proud. It is, however, a partot Mr. Beale’s eccentricity to assume that when & young man comes to spend the eventag ‘with & young lady the two usualiy occupy only a single chair. This theory; which is doubtless ‘founded on the unsudstantial basis of tho ‘lleged comic columns of Chicago journals, ts, of course, utterly untenable by any man of sound judgment, but the eccentric Mr. Beale firmly ‘believes it. He cherishes, moreover, views of the strictest nature ag to the way in which a young lady should conduct herself, and he has often informed Miss Beale that a community of chatrs is one of the most wicked Of the ideas of modern socialism, and that no young lady should permit any man tosit within ten feet of her chair. His daughter has In. varlably replied, “Yes, Pa, I think you are quit Th bt.” but the eccentric man has never put full confidence in her sincerity. In order to test 1t Mr. Beale has on several Occasions abruptly entered the back parlor on Sutday evening when he knew that young Mr. Barlow, the local druggist’s assis:ant, was oc- gopying the room in company with afiss Baale. On each occasion he found the young people :Tanding and gazing intently on a cromo watch cecorates the wall just above tne grate. Two chairs, distant from one another about Atteen f et. were visible, but there was nothing to Show that elther of them had been occupied. a he thus fatled to discover any evi- at his daughter had departed trom his instructions, Mr. Beale was far trom being con- vinced that all was right, and accordingly he designed his now celebrated patent adjustable chair, @ mechanical invention intended to re- strain young people from any tendency to overtax the strength of any onechatr. ‘The patent adjustable chair does not present aby hovel peculiarities, to the eye, but it 1s 80 constructed that when an excess of weight is Placed upon it, the seat sinks to the floor, and &@ whistle, worked by compressed air, gives forth a weird and piercing shriek. It can be adjusted so as to sink with almost any desired Weight, and a judicious father can regulate is according to the weight of bis daughter and of her various visitors. For example, Miss Beale Weighed, as has been said, one hundred and thirty-three pounds, and ii one hundi and fifty-five. If, therefore, Mr. Beale adjusted his patent chair so that it would sink under a weight of two hundred pounds, it 1s evident that the weight of the young lady or the young man alone could not cause the whistle to sound, but that thetr com- bined weight could not be placed upon the a Pected it would be necessary to fix the sinking point of the chair at 300 pounds. ‘The merit ot the invention 13 obvious. and Mr. Beale felt, when he placed his patent adjustable chair in the back parlor on Sunday evening, just before Mr. Barlow's arrival, that he was now certain to learn whether his daughter was in the habit of implicitly obeying his counsels, About nine o’clock the ingenious father, who Was in the dining-room waiting earnestly for the whistle, heard the peculiar and unmls- takable sound cf that treacherous device, and instantly rushed into the back parlor. He found Mr. Barlow lying across the collapsed chair, and Miss Beale standing at an irreproach- able distance from him, anxiously inquiring it he was hurt. He said he had accidentally caught bis foot in the hearth-rug and had fallen over the chair. This explanation could not be rejected, for 1t was quite possible that the chair might have been collapsed by such an accident. The dieappointed father withdrew, taking his chair with him, and admitting to himself that be daughter was not to be caught with any or- nary trap. But in spite of this fatlure the adjustable chair has recently been brought pocanmennly, before the public. When the Presbyterian synod met last month in the meeting-house at- tended by Mr. Beale, and there was a scarcity of chairs on the platform, he sent the sexton to his house with instructions to bring all the chairs he could find. The adjustable ehair was among them, and Mr. Beaie, forgetting its pe- cullarities, made haste to personally offer it to the Moderator. The chair, as a subsequent ex- amination proved, had been adjusted to seat Well three hundred pounds, and it so happened ‘that the Moderator weighed just three hundred andone. When, therefore, after delivering an impressive speech, the reverend gentleman sat down, the assembly was horrified to see him ink rapidly to the floor, while the shriek of the whistle was supposed to be a cry of pain wrung from the unhappy man. The subsequent trial and expulsion of Mr. Beale for sacrilegiously Playing a dangerous practical joke on the Mod- erator, with the design of bringing Presbyte- nar ism into contempt in the eyes of the world, hes mace the peculiarities of the chair familiar t) almost every one.

This, remarks our. observer, probably points to the fact that in the history of the race the need of making known pains and wants was the more urgent, and so was the one to be the first satisfied. Coming now tothe parti- cular feelings which have to do with others, it Js noteworthy that the earliest feeling to mani- fest itself 1s that of antagonism or anger. At least, remarks the father, this was 8 in the case of Clifford's sister, who, when Didden at the outset of life to do her duty in accepting the nutriment provided by nature, showed all the signs of lonate wrath. The ‘first traceable germ of sympathy—the fellow- feeling which binds men together—appeared in Cliffora’s case in the eighth week in the shape of responsive cooing sounds when coaxed and comforted by the usual vocal appliances.
