From Another World.

aud yet , I saw so much , as I tip shed by your window , that I could , were I tin artist , paint every detail of tho sceneincluding the awful frig ht ancl horror on your face as thu whistle and thunder of my hurrying train were comingm-esent—wisl !

You wero staring at your telegraph instrument ; your lips wero half open ; your face was pale ti death ; I could see tho cold sweat on your forehead ; you had half risen from yonr chair . It was ono glimpse—as though into youi S () U 1 and I was by and gone . I did nofc understand then .

How could I ? How could I know that half tho anguish Avas for mo , the rest for tho other two hundred liven doomed to go with mine ? Your message was suddenly stopped ; your reason said tho lino waa broken ; your instinct , or somo ono of the other powers that outrank

reason , told you that the bridge was down . You believed there woro not live minutes left 1 efc ween mo and my answer to the riddle ! Wo went thunder ng don u tho long grade , straight for tbo river , and I never guessed at danger . I never folt loss

fear in all my lite . Down , down , with thc perpendicular walla of that cut of forty feet in depth through fcho solid g . anifce magnifying and condensing the sound of our flight until ono might have wondered if there wero any possibilities of silence beyond and below us . Then a man

stood on the track , swinging a lantern frantically , and signalling me to stop . I reversed , and put on tho air brakes so suddenly that my passengers rolled and bumped about the cars like balls in a box . But , when I stopped , tho man and the lanteia were gone . Wo could find

nothing of him in tho cut , and thc low plain beyond , bordering the fierce river , was empty and desolate . Oscar Folton had waiacd mc aud gone his mysterious way unfcbanked ! And the pilot of my engine reached into the

vacant darkness , beyond where the tract ended , and tho seething waters had no trace of bridge left over them . Seriously , I almost solved the problem I would so love to know !

III . —FROM A N EWSPAPER OP EARLY MARCH 1889 . DIED . —Yesterday morning , at his home in Oregon , of

consumption , Oscar Felton , formerly well known in railroad circles in this cifcy . He had many fiiends , and , so fvv as known , no enemies . His last words , however , were a regret that he could not live long enough to " get even with " a certain Giles Branfcford , a name none of bis family had over heard him mention before .

IV . —WALTER M \ UTIN FINISHES THE STORY . —DECEMBER 1889 .

Yesterday afternoon , at four o ' clock , I handed Giles Brantford the old slip I cut L'orn the olcl and half wornout newspaper that morning . His hand w ;; s already on the lever , ancl a moment later he was gone . Gono , oh , my

God ! Bub tho look he gavo mc , his :-isb look , waa rarely eloquent—almost diwuo . Such a look , I can easily imagine , steals into tho glorified faces of those who ? e earthly smile has t . ; ken tho form that will nofc change until fc ine is done .

They took him—the fleshly houso thafc had been thc casket of his noble soul—safc from fcho ruins of his train , ut Jive o ' clock ! He rode to his death—a martyr t J his trust . He saved his train-load of passengers . Ho had his choice between thorn and himself .

Ihe ruin had spared his fine face , ancl the sublime dignity upon it beggars words to describe . I cannot do ifc . It is beyond ruy power . But I think I read its message

aright . I think he went to knowledge—with an equal knowledge . I think I know what manner of being saved him in Juno , aud I think ho knew , for :-i hour . —Voice oj Masonry .

Brotherly Love.

BROTHERLY LOVE .

WE often boast of our brotherl y love , and un'founl y early endeavour to impress the great importance of this fundamental tenet upon tho initiate . Yet how few of us , comparatively , fully understand the fr"' scope of its meaning , or even put into every-day practice the little wo

ao understand ? Judged by the ' r practice , I fen- there are many who never had in reality any very violent attack of this valuable doctrine . It is quite easy to mako profession , but quite a different th : ng to carry thafc

pritession into practice . A . brotherly lovo that will not enable you to stretch forth your hand to aid and support a falling brother ; that will nofc enable you to go to au erring one , even though ho may know that ho is doing wrong and inwardly detest his action , ami whisper words

ot reformatory advice and admonition in his oar ; that will not enable you to speak a good word for a brother and vindicate his character wlun wrongfully maligned aud traduced by the foul aud slim' - tongue of slander ; that will not enable you " to write his vio ^ s in water and his

virtues m enduring brass ; " that will not enable us to cheerfully visit the sick-room aud moisten tho parched lips and bathe the fevered brow of a brother , even though lio may happen to be a straager within our gates ; that will not enable us to carry our hands to out- pockets and take

therefrom a dollar instead of a nickel when applied to for a donation to befriend and relieve the pressing necessities of some needy , worthy , and heart-brokon widow or barefooted orphan ; thafc will nofc enable us , in tbe discharge of our various duties , to do unto others aa wo would they

should do unto us , is not tho brotherly love that Masons teach , or that any of its votaries should cultivate , because ifc will not , neither here nor hereafter at fche grand tribunal of unbiassed judgment , yield a paying dividend . But if the spirit of brotherly love fchr . fc pervades your soul is of the

character thafc prompts and enables you to do these things , you havo within you tho principle taught by Masonry , and when put into actual practice it will yield a paying dividend here , and in the clay of final accounts ifc will shine and sparkle as glittering diamonds in your crown . I know

thafc there aro times aud occasions when ifc will require a great deal of self-crucifixion and self-abnegation to enable us to fully carry into active practice our profession in this regard , but once accomplished our reward will be all tho more abundant . No grander recompense can

anywhere be found than that arising from a consciousness of having rightly done our duty . If Masons everywhere would fully and honestly carry into every day life their profession in this one particular , what a power for good they would bo ! What a vast amount of heart-burnings ,

bickerings , fault-findings and discord would bo avoided How the burden of many a careworn Craftsman might be lightened throngh a knowledge of the facfc that the profession cf his brethren was a reality , and not idlo mockery ! A brotherly love that will carry us to the

bedside of a dying brother , and arms us with sufficient devotion to enable us to bare our flesh to the scapel of the surgeon , and cheerfully permit its transfer to tbe body of such dying brother , that he may if possible live , is in my bumble judgment the acme of fraternal love . It is tho

exemplification of the love thafc Masonry teaches , and , fch < nk Leaven , recent exhibitions disclose thc fact that there aro Masons who , when occasion requires , are ready and willing to practice . Such love will do to live by , aud in the dark and trying hour when fche clammy moisture

gathers about tho brow , tho cheeks grow pallid , tho eyes grow dim , the chin quivers , tho extremities grow cold , and warm , loving fiiends gather close around fco catch tho last intelligent utterances of expiring breath , ifc will not foiviko us ; aud in tho great day of accounts , when fcho

sun shall refuse to shine aud become black aa sackcloth of hair , aud the moon become as blood , and thc stars of heaven fall unto thc earth , aud tho heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together , and every mountain and island is moved out of their place , " before thejudgo of

the quick and the dead , when tried by tho unerring squaro of Jehovah ' s eternal justice , ifc will stand oufc in bold relief over and against ouv frivolities and imperfections iu letters of gold so large , beautiful and brilliant thafc the wayfaring man , though a fool , may read , " Inasmuch aa ye have done

ifc unto ono of tho least of these , my brethreu , ye have done it unto me . " Brethren , if perchance auy of you have not already mado an investment , do so afc the first opportunity , because I am authorised to guarantee that the same will pay ; and remember that you cannot escape your

responsibility in tho matter by exclaiming , Cain-like , " Am I my brother ' s keeper ? " Having voluntarily assumed fcho obligation , you cannot , if you would , and would not , I hope , if yon could , irbsolvo yourselves therefrom . Wc do

not all see and act alike , and as no man can tell what ho would or not do under a given state of circumstances in advance of being confronted therewith , let ns not ba too ready and willing to condemn in others what we might worst under the same circumstances in ourselves . The
