I This virtue was very common some timo; •go, before the country waa invaded and in peril. Everybody waa a patriot then when it oost nothing. As men are apt to be very oharitable when no beggar u in sight so they love to make a show of patriotism when it is not wanted. Pshaw I what is the mere lovt of virtue, religion, humanity that never deals in acts ? What is the love of country worth which does nothing under Heaven but complain of the Government that is trying at any rate—nobody denies that—which is doing its best, and some think it is doing pretty well, to defend it against a most audacious and truculent foe. This is loving ones oountry with a vengeanoe 1 And how ia the man exhibiting his patriotism who is taking all tbat will listen to bim by the sleeve and crying out "let's make peace—let's make haste and come to terms with the rebels somehow— we can't subdue tbem—the nation will els« be split into fragments."

When we reached the points I dropped off and opened the switches, thus shunting the engine on to the up line, upon which we proposed to indulge ourselves in some two or throe minutes' gallop, and then retarn. Now in meting thus, you must understand that we did nothing whatever involving any danger from ordinary sources, ana were in all human probability perfectly safe from mishap. The next train was an up express, not due at Coulston sill 8 20, but which did not stop at Allonby. Nothing could possibly follow us from behind for we were on the up line of rails, and as we should be back again before eight o'clock, there was of oourse no danger to be apprehended from the ooming train.

The next instant he clasped me tight by the wrist, and whispered in nw ear, "The red lamps! It's all over. God save my poor father." Again, though, be spoke out strong and clear, "Hold tight ty me, Charley, and when say the word, jump for yoar life." We stood a moment poising ourselves upon the oscillating engine, then he shonted "Now!" and sprang. I was nervous, my foot slipped, and I felf along the foot plate of the engine. In an instant there was a horrible grinding crash, a dazzling flash of light before my eyes, a, hug* heave upward and onward, then blackness of darkness and insensibility. Six weeks afterward I was sufficiently recovered from fever—brought on by my injuries and the excitement of that night—• to hear the sequel of the story. Beyond.* broken leg and rib I ad escaped unhurt. Violent iuflamation, accompanied by delirium, had, however, greatly retarded,. my convalescence. Hibberd and Mark were both dead- The former was greatly cut about, but the latter exhibited no visible injury beyond a comparatively trifling wound in the head, serious, it is true, but not sufficient to have caused his death. He died from internal hemorrhage, and none but myself knew that the scalp wound had been the work ol the lad's own father. Concerning the accident to the night express on the —— lino at Allonby station in 184—, I dare saj you remember the newspaper accounts; to night I have tried to give you a true ami faithful history of the causes which prod* eed that disaster, and of which a noceasari ly vague and incorrect yeraion passed cur rent with the public.

SMITH, IMPORTER OF With such qualities it was only natural that he should rise in life; and he did so. Before I was sixteen years of age he held a lucrative and responsible position m the locomotive department on one of the great north country lines, and had he lived I think he might have made himself a name in the world. I was his only son, and he gave me a good education, deeply tinged with a mechanical coloring, in the hope that I khould improve On his success. In this hope, if he were alive, he would not, perhaps, be altogether disappointed; but although I have no reason to complain of want or present prosperity and social position, it is none the less true that the spare hours and holidays of my school life were spent chiefly among work-*hops, mechanics, and engine-drivers. In those yottng days I had a passion for the locomotive, and my boyish ambition was to become a master of all the mysteries and duties connected therewith. Thus I was forever loaflng about the engine house and getting an occasional trip with good natured drivers more ready to please an inquiring youngster than careful to obey the Company's regulations. In this way I early gained a tolerably complete insight into the management of the locomotive, and being a shrewd, self-confident lad, soon acquired a profound belief in my oapacity for discharging all the duties of a driver. I had besides, an insepcrable companion named Mark Hibberd, whose father followed the calling I thought I sboild so much adorn, and who delighted equally with me in pottering about among tne engines snd men, or riding short distances whenever the opportunity occurred. The elder Hibberd was an extremely daring and clever driver, a first-rate workman; but unfortunately, like too many of our very best artiaans, K- 'en to occasional fits of drunkenness. is peculiarity bad got him into trouble once or twice before the timo of which i am apesking, but as on each occasion hie escapades had been productive of no actual harm, and he was in other respects a verj valuable man, he was retained but cautioned. Mark was quite as great a proficient as myself in knowledge of the craft, and the dearest wish of both was to have om abilities properly reooguiced among th« workmen who were our companions. In all our little enterprises and adventurec Mark, however, waa the leader; he inheri ted his father's skill and courage, and sooi acquired, even among the .men, a gooc reputation for stesdy pluck and ahrewd ncss. Such were young Hibberd and my self at about the age of fifteen; but in or der that you may clearly understand thi whole of my story, it will be necessary fo me now to explain the situation and peon liarities of our atation and the neighboring line. Coulaton is a large town on the—— Railway, standing midway between Allon by, which ia ten miles below, and Castle ton, which is ten miles above it. Attached to the atation are the locomo tivfc works already mentioned, and a ven large engine-house. In the latter, thi number of engines wss generally consider able, and this waa our favorite haunt where we lurked at all honrs, hoping fo the chance of a run with some complaisant comrade down to Allonby, whence we trus ted to tho chapter of accidents and ?8banki mare," for a return journey. The engim house stood at a distance of about 20( yards below Ooulston station, with yhicl it was connected by a siding joining thi main line, in a manner with which ever; one is familiar.

Our programme, however, was deranged in a way we little expeoted. Prudent if bold, we did not allow the delights of oar gallop to detain us too long, and it wanted some minutes to eight when we passed the crossing on our way back to the enginehouse; we had slackened speed on approaching the points, and were traveling slowly and quietly, when Mark shouted to me, "Put down the break, Cearley, here's the big 'Swallow' coming out at a lick, •nd do mistake!" In a moment we had stepped and reversed the 'Firefly,' and began to move slowly ahead down the up line again, greatly wondering what it all might mean, but not in the least alarmed for our safety, since we had only to allow the 'Swallow' gradually to overtake us, and when she saw us (whioh, as we had no lamps, was not so easy) both engines might return together. Meanwhile the giant behind us came on at such a rapidly increasing speed that we were unwillingly obliged to travel faster as well. We shouted and tried to attract attention from her driver, but in vain, and we presently began to think that something must be wrong. At length Mark whispered, "Charley, you may take my word for it that's the Governor, and he's mad drnak- Like enough he's got on the first engine that came to hand, and don't know at this moment if he is on the up or down line or what he is doing—he's the very devil after he's been drinking." Here was a pleasant situation. It was just on the stroke of eight o'clock: in another ten minutes at ferthest the up express would pass A lion by on its way to Coubton: before us therefore was the oertainty of collision, and behind us an engine already running at a great rate, which increased with every minute, and driven by a man mad drunk—what was to be done? It was a case in which moments are precious, and decision must be the work of a second of time. Feb. 14, 1880.—tf. MRS.

You will agree with me that these are noble sentiments. Sentiments that should be carried in every heart and talked of 'round every hearthstone—that we as Americans, Union-lovinir, tyrant-destroying Americans, should stand side by side,shoulder to shoulder in this struggle, unravel the Uordian knot of Secession, and put down the daring men who talk of peace and in so doing revile and sneer at our beautiiul and unyielding government.

STURMEB, "Let as ran for Allonby," said Mark at once, with his hand upon the regulator. '•Keep the whistle open all the way, and trust id Providence they'll hear it and have time and sense to shot us on to the •down' before the express runs through." I was for less vigorous measures. Something assured me that Mark was right, and that the oogine behind us was driven by Hibberd in a state of intoxication; but I fancied that however drunk he might be, he would yet not be so utterly insane as to persist in rushing against certain destruction, provided we could make him understand his danger; so I proposed that we should slacken and let him overtake us, then climb upon the 'Swallow,' and by persuasion or force induoe him to return. All this and much more passed between us in far fewer seconds than t take minutes to tell it you; in fact, the whole affair was a succession of such rapid action following upon decisions so swift that I find it impossible to give you the faintest idea of the startling suddenness with which the circumstances crowded on each other. For k moment Mark—thinking, doubtless, more of his father than himself—approved of my suggestion, and we slackened speed. By this time both engines were running at • perfectly frightful velocity, and the Swallow almost instantly overhauled us. No aooqer did her buffers touch ours than Mark flung himself upon his father's engine. I watched him clamber along the boiler fill I lost the outline of his figure in the darkness. A minute of unspeakable suspense followed, during whioh the Swallow held on her rapid speed. I now did all I oould to impede her progress. I shut off steam and aorewed my breakB down till they were one sheet of flame, but still the finder engine drove me forward. At length, after what seemed a whole hour to me, I heard above the din of the open whistle a succession of yells, mingled with hoarse curses. I closed the handle a moment to listen, and soon felt oertain that s fearful struggle was going on between Hibberd nnd his son. I caught at the Swallow, pulled myself on to her, and olimbed a* faat as I could toward the footplate. Half way along the boiler I met Mark returning, reckless. "On to your engine," be soreamed, "and run for AUonby!" This was eoongh for mc; it waa no time to ask or answer questions, and another second or two saw us both upon the Frefiy'—breaks up, whistle open, and all steam on. We drew quickly away ftotai our companion; but the few minutes of delay had frightfully dmuaisbed our ohanoes of safety It was so dark that I oould not oloarly see Mark's fcoe, but I knew from the distorted appearance of his ebthee there had bean a tussle, and I said simply, "Well, Mark?" While spaaking, I opened the fire-door, and as the red gleam burst out I started ia renewed hsrror, for his whole face, neck, and hands were oovered with blood.

There are no seneatioDS, (excepting Barnum's,) no great developments, no startling events to chronicle, but all news is "flat, stale and unpipfitable." I wish I could makf tip a "great big story" to frighten you and your readers, but you must look to a certain sheet in the vicinity of New York City for that talent 1 wish I oould narrate something that would interest and please, but—pshaw, what's the use wishing? I am only spending time and paper for oothing. You see, Mr. Editor, by the dating of this that it ia from Irviogton. This lrvington, by the way, is a funny little city. Where it i«, or what it is, or how bounded, remains a secret between the good people and your humble servant. It is very much like a placc 1 once read of in a popular novel,commencing this wise—"two churches, a butcher shop, and a few frame buildings painted white," with the addition of a ducen or more secessionists Murder will out—that's the difference between our lrvington and the funny little place in the book. A word or two for those secessionists. Some of theiu do not profess to know really what the word means—the case with many oi'our Northern *#mpaAi*er», I think. Others are evidently set on by the more enlightened. Some have an idea that it is aristocratio, and others yet that it is patriotic. Now, Mr. Editor, I am not going to scold you about other people's shortcomings (as you have plenty of your own no doubt), neither am I going to write a 4th of July | speech, but 1 would just like to overhaul I our prCife*»ed Union men io lrvington. and scold them for their sham patriotism. It makes my blood boil to see them sit down aud meekly fold their hands and say. "Oh, there's nothing I can do—there is no use quarreling with neighbors when our personal interests are not intruded upon, just tor jt difference of opinion " Bah! such men are M bad as the worst—they savor too much of the "white feather" to be tolerated. A certain Daily, edited not twenty miles from Newark, bad, a few days ago, a very able and floe article entitled HJounterfeit Patriotism." It is somewhat lengthy, but with your permission I will make a few extracts. I wish I could send it verbatim, but it would stretch this out beyond all patience, especially an editor's. The writer begins as follows—"The greatest demand the present crisis auk us upon the people is for patriotism; not the profession, the world is siok of that, and not the sentiment merely. There has been much talk of latt years of something christened philanthropy, which seems to be a kind of transcendentalism, for it certainly transcends the power of most persons to peroeive its beneficent effects- For the present, however, and as long as the war lasts, we shall be 1 content to witoass the exhibition oIf that China, Glass, Earthenware, LOOKING GLASSES, Ac.

Astounding Discovery in France.— It baa been a great mystery to English bankers, and to the Directors of the Bank of England, how the bullion of the Bank of France could be so greatly increased within the last three years, while that institution has been constantly sending gold to England, to Germany and to America. Not long since the Bank of France drew some fifteen millions francs in silver from the Bank of England, whioh it paid for in gold bars with the French Mint stamp on them.—-At its lout report it showed a balance of one hundred and seventeen millions francs in gold, while the amount one year ago was under eighty millions—near- nearly one-third increase. It is whispered that this abundance of gold is the result of a scientific discovery, which the Emperor Napoleon has secured the monopoly of. Oold is at the present moment manufactured at Paris in a secret manner. The principal articles used are lead and arsenic; and, though it is not known how extensively the precious metal is produced, yet several hundred weight of the material are taken to a certain place on the first of each month. Every thing is conducted with the utmost secresy. None of the wffkimn are allowed to leave, and nothing definite can be known; but the fact that gold is Iiroduced is beyond peradventure.

The neai*st down station of any site was Liohester, about forty miles distant. It huppened one dark bat clear November evening that Mark Hibberd and I were lounging about oar favorite engine-house, chattinn to one and another of the. drivers who were busy oiling and cleaning their respective locomotives. Old Hibberd's 'Firefly' was there with steam up, an order having come during the afternoon that Mark's father was to be in readiness to take a 'special' down to Lichester at eight o'clocfc precisely. Hibberd himself was not there, though it was then half past seven, and Mark said casually, in answer to • question from old Bob Jacobs, bis fl reman, that he hoped his father was not "on the lush;" bat ho had been down to the Railway Arms again that afternoon for the first time during three months. We were standing on the foot-plate as we talked, and steam having been up soma time and the water in the boiler somewhat low, 1 said to Jacobs, "Bob, you'll have to run her down to the oroesing and back a time or two to fill up the boiler," it being necessary, I must tell you, to put an engine in motion before the pumps which feed her with water oan work. "Bight you are, Maa'r Charley," said Bob; "bat do you and Maa'r Mark take her down to the points and back agio while I light my lamps and fill my oil can." | Here was one of the little chanoea we delighted in. J[t wanted exactly twenty minutes to eight when Mark turned on i steam, and we glided alowly out of the en- I gine house, leaving old Jaeobe trimming the "Firefly's" lamps. We had rtin beckward oVer the hundred yards of rails between the crosaiog and the house when Mark's evil genius prompted hitt to exclaim : " I say, Charley, let's run over the points and down the line for half-a-mifo or so; I we can be back easy bjr eight o'oloek" ftOBEKT L.

The soll diers are not expected to know everybody, and whenever a commissioned officer is adi vised that there is a Secessionist on the 1 grounds he forthwith issues an order to have him ejected. The person so ejeoted may be a Union man or not—the soldiers do not know; and frequently Waggish fellows have their friends qjeeted just for the fun of the thing. It is by no means an uncommon thing to see an ultra Union man going out of tho camp at the point of the bayonet, looking very silly, while his friends are bursting their sides with laughter.t.
