I strolled last night In musing mood,
itetiectlng on my lonely state 1
Till, wearied out at last, I paused
And leaned upon a garden gato.
Tho old moon's mellow radiance hung
In golden mists among tho trees,
Kalnt odors, borno from distant Mowers,
Ebbed Idly on tho evening breeze.
As thus I stood, absorbed in thought,
I pressed against the gate tog hard.
It opened with a sudden Jerk,
I found myself within tho yard
A form enmo gliding dow n the walk ;
Sort arms embraced me, as, perplsxed,
I stood one blissful moment, w hllo
A f ncct volco soothed my or, tho nex!
It rose Into n shriek, then sobbed t
"O sir, how could you keep so stltl I
When all the time 1 'know' jou knew
I thought jou were my cousin Will."
These stars aro moons.or rather months;
Just no havo lllttod since that night,
And two of these lnve calmly shone
t'ron our wedikd llfo. It quite
Surprises tne to think ot It.
And she Is queenly, tall and fair,
Willi lustrous eyes, and such a wealth
Of-well wc call It auburn hair.
'"0 late 1" I've Just como from the club;
My wife sits silent, but n light,
Unseen before, lurks In her eye.
Once more I muse on that calm night
When first she met me at the gate,,
And wonder, while her eyes flame still,
It ever I, In days to come.
Shall wish It had been cousin Will.

A RAILWAY JOURNEY.
A close cab laden with luegajrp drove up
to Linton Station in time for the 7:30 a. ni
train fur the North. While the porters stir
mtiiuleil tlie boxes, tho occupants of thecal)
passed straight through on to tho platform,
looking rather nervously about them. They
were two a very pretty girl in a most fasci
attrg traveling costtitno of blue serge and
fur, and an elderly woman, who, from her
tppcarance, might have been her nurse.
"Sit here, and don't movp, Miss Edith
while I take, your ticket ; now, mind yon
Ion t stir; ' and she deposited her on a
bench.
"Are you the young lady as has ordered a
through carriage reserved 1" asked n guard,
with official abruptness.
"Yes."
"Then cotno.along of me, Miss."
"No, no ; I must wait," and Edith, ho
was (jttito unused to traveling, grasped her
bag and did not move. The guard looked
astonished, but only shrugged his shoulders
and walked on. Presently he came back.
"You'll be late, Miss," be said, not en
couragingly. "Train'U be olf in another
minute." Edith looked at him in despair.
Should she leave her post ? Would Jenkin
never come back ? A loud aggressive bell
began to ring. Edith started up f she seized
all the things Jenkins hnd put under her
charge rugs, carpet-bag, umbrella-case.
loose shnwl, and prosioii basket and wa
ryttig to stagger away under the load Hurried
seized half the packages, and hurried her to
tho train. The guard unlocked the special
carriage, and put her in.
"No hurry, ma'am," ho said, "for minutes,
till."
"I don't at all like it, now it has come to
the point, Jenkins," said Edith, leaning out
if tlie window.
"Nor I, miss; and how your mamma could
et you go all alono liko this passes me. But
have spoken to the guard aud written to
llio station master, nnd you've a good bit to
eat, and uot a blessed soul to get Into the
carriage from end to end ; so don't bp afraid
my dear, and I make no doubt that your
dear undo will meet you at tho other
end."
"I have no doubt that one of ii!y nudes
will I hope Uncle Joint, as I havo never
cen Uncle George."
A gentleman suddenly camo running on
to the pialform ; the train was just about to
start. "Here, porter, takti my portmanteau;
rjuick smoking carriage."
"All full, sirl quick, sir, pleaso I"
"It's Mr, George!" cried Jenkins, sudden
ly. Edith started forward. "Oh I"
Tho gentleman caught sight of Jenkins.
"Here, guard, guard I put mo In here I"
"Can't bir-pecial."
"Quick ; let mo in ! it's my niece,"
Tho train began to move,
"Confound you, bo quick 1"
Tito door was opened jilst in time, and
Edith, as much excited an Mr. George,
seized him with both hnnd-i by tho coat
itlcerea and pulled him with all her might
Into the carriage. They wero olf.
"I am so glad to see you, Uticle'George,''
aid Edith, timidly t "for though i am gen
erally bold enough, I was rather 'afraid of
this long journey.'i ' '
''I will take cate of you," said tho uncle.
"I am very glad to make your acquaintance,
my dear." Iho "ray dear" sounded a littlo
strained, as though it wero not a common
expression on Undo George's lips,and Edith
looked up at him.
"Now wo mut make ourselves comforta
ble," said Uncle Giorge, and ho proceeded
to set to work, lie put the rugs und bask
ets Into the nets, he pushed the carpet-bag
and portmanteau under tho scat, took off his
hat, put on a very becoming Turkish fez,
extracted newspapers from bis pocket, spread
a shawl over lllth a knees, and then wrig
gled himself comfortably into corner
eat.
"How well old Jenkins wearB I" ho said.
"She looks like a yiuii jr. dairy maid."
"Oh I" sald'Edith, a littlo shocked at his
Irreverence.
I remember how she used to feed mo
with dried fruit and macaroons out of the
stca room."
"Really I surely sho Is not old enough for
that?"
"Oh, ah! I forget her age.but the fact was,
I wasn't of course a liny,"
"Of course not. W hy, I think mamma
said Hint you and Jenkins wero born tho
same day or was sho the eldest ?"
"Oh, I was the eldest "
"No, you were tint ; I remember she was
thre weeks older than you, and It was be-
catisn bIio was your foster-sister that she al
ways was so fond of you. Indeed, mamma
snid that sho wanted to leavo her toco to
you and Am t Maria when your eldest chil
dren were horn, even out to India."
"My eldest children ! what do you mean?
Oh I by tho by, yes ; they aro dead."
"Dead ! my cousin Georgo dead?"
i es, yrs, my dear."
Poor little Addie! Was it true tbat
Georgo never got over her loss 1"
"Don't!" said Undo George, abruptly;
and he held up n newspaper upside down.
Edith touched his arm very gently.
"I am so snrry, Uncle George," she said
sweetly. "If I had known that you had
lost them both, I would not have said any
thing ; please forgivo me. And poor Aunt
Maria, too ! I beg your pardon."
Uncle Georgo threw down his paper and
looked smilingly at her.
"Does your mamm'a ever speak of me?"
"Constantly, perpetually ;" said Edith,
her voice still a littlo choked.
"And what does she say of me ?"
"She says that you aro tho dearest, kind
est, wnrmest-hearted.most sweet-dispositton-
ed old gentleman existing ; Bhe says you
have been a gallant olltcer and a loyal, true
hearted soldier," Edith's eyes kindled.
"And I have heard how you distinguished
yourself in Indin, and I I am very glad to
seo you, Uncle George,"
"Yes, yes, lie is all that," said ho with en
thusiasm.
"What ? who?" nsked Edith confused.
"My father I I I mean my son."
"l'oor Georgo ! ho was a most distinguish
ed wildier also. I wish I had known him.
No, Uticle'George, I won't speak so, I do
not wi-.li to pun you."
"1 like to hear all you tell mo about him,
mv dear."
"1 have only heard how good a soldier he
was, and that lie was so handsome and so
good.''
"And had he faulls and defects ?"
Edith looked surprised.
"I used to hear that he was conceited."
"No no," said Uncle George, hast'ly ; "he
never was that. He was proud, I grant
perhaps too proud but never conceited." v
"I'oi.r Guirijp I" sighed Edith.; "I had so
looked fnrnanl to knowing him."
"Hud you really?"
"Yes, I never had a companion of my own
age. J )o tell me, shall I like my cousins at
Ilatton ?" '
"I think so, some of them ; do you mean
Uncle Julio's daughters or his stepchil
dren V
"Both."
"I think you will like Mary, tolerate Su
san, abhor Agatha, admiro Jane, and
adoro Alice "
"Alice is tiio adorable one, is she ?" said
Edith, laughing, "and is she tho one they
say is so pretty ?"
"Uu no; poor Alice is deformed, and can
never leave tho sofa ; but she has tho sweet
ness of an angel, and the courage of a mar
tyr; sho is not in-tho least pretty."
"Oh, what a trial! always on thesofa!"
"What a sweet little thing this is!"
thought Uncle George,but ho said nothing.
"now comes it mat you know none of
your cousins r said lie suddenly.
"Why do you want me to tell you what
yiutknowso much better than I do, Uncle
George?" .
"Yes, yes, of course; but naturally I want
to know your side of the story. Have you
never been at Hatton?"
"Never; and I thought it so very kind of
you to induce Undo John to persuade mam
ma to let me-go."
"Yes, I thought, you know, that a few
companions of your "own ago would do you
good. How old are you?"
Did you not get mamma's letter la
which she told you that I was to be eighteen
to-morrow?"
"No; it must have been late. I never
heard of it."
"How very utifortunato! 'Then no one
will know I am coining. Sho asked you to
tell Undo John about tho train and
things."
"Ah, ah! that letter. Oh, of course, that is
all right. I don t I I sometimes don't
read letters through."
Edith laughed.
"I will tell you one version of my story.
Mamma being papa's widow, and papa hav
ing been the eldest' son, had to leave Hatton
nhena baby was born and turned out to bo
a stupid little girl; and sho went abroad be
cttise sho was bo delicate, aud becamo a
Itotnan Catholic."
"Holloa!"
"Wl-at is it, Undo George?"
"You aro not one, I hope?"
Edith looked rather indignant. "It is
very odd of you to Bay that," sho said,
"when you know ns'wcll as I do all that you
lid about il; indeed I shall never forget
your kiudness.
"I am very glad, my dear chilJ, and I
hope that in future you will he guided by
my advice.
"I hope I shall Be a great desl of you,
Undo George, for I know how fond I shall
he of you, for my mother loves you dear'
ly."
"It is very kind of her."
"And do you know, since we came to
live in England, I have never paid a single
visit, or been fur ono week away from home?
Oil, it is such fun going to Hatton! Do my
cousins ridel '
"Yes, a great deal; aro you fond of it?"
"I lovo it; there is nothing In the world to
me like a good gallop. Ab, It was the great
est trial of ray life when Queen Mab was
sold!"
"When was that ?"
"Mamma made me glvo up riding, or rath
cr I gave It up myself, because- it, made her
bo nervous,"
"What else do you care for? Uancing?"
'Oh, I love it; but I have never been to
ball in my life."
"There are to be two at Hatton next week
and you must promise me the lint valse at
"Do you valsc-?"
"Ob, yes. You feo t nm not such an old
ifogy as you expected."
"No; nobody would believe you to bo fifty
eight, but for one thing."
"What is that?"
But Edith blushed and would not answer.
"You need not mind, child, I never was
at all sensitive; and, alas! now my memory
Is not whnt it was."
"That's it," said Edith eagerly; "only I
did n.t like to say It. Here wo arc at tho
station,"
It was now 10 o'clock; Undo George
bought the Twin und Daily Stat, nnd they
both began to read. About 12 o'clock the
pangs of hunger began to assail Edith, and
sho exclaimed i
"Undo George, it is only 12 o'clock aud I
must cat to live. Will you havo beef or
chicken sandwiches, or cold partridge, or
what?"
They made a very goo I lunch, and undo
and niece grew hourly better acquainted.
"I believe wo ought to look out of tho
widow," said he, presently, "My father
said that tho country nbotit here was quite
beautiful."
"That must have been before tho.days of
railways," said Kith gravely. "Those.coach-
Ing days must havo been quite delightful."
J'They were. Holloa 1"
'What is tho matter?" said Edith, star-
tleil.
j'Nothiug-nothing-sit still?" .
put she followed tho direction of his eyes.
Tho train (a very long one) was going round
a sharp curve, they were in onetof the last
carriages, and to her horror nnd terror, she
saw, about a hundred yards in front ofth'e
train, a whole herd of cows on and off the
line two or three frantically galloping.
All heads were Btretched out of tho win
dows, clamoring tongues and even cries re
sounded Irom the other carriages, but neith
er Edith nor George uttered a sound, only
she put back her hand and caught his; he
seized it very tightly in the suspense, kuow
ing well that a terrible accident might bo
impending. It was hardly a second, but it
seemed a lifetime. The frantic cattle rush
ed off the line in a body, atl but one unfor
tunate beast. Tho guards put on the very
heaviest brakes, but the impetus was so
great that the slackening wa hardly per-
'ceptible. It may havo hoen fortunnto that it
was so, for instead of upsetting the train,
tho cow was tos-ed off tho line utterly de
stroyed, nnd tho engine rushed on iu safe
ty. George nnd Edith sat down opposite to
each other; both were very pale.
"Thank God !'' said Edith, and she cov
ered her fac with one hand. George did not
peak, but be took oh his cap nnd looked
out of the window for one minute.
'NoiV I shall givo you some sherry," he
said, suddenly. "You are the pluckiest lit
tle brick I ever camo across. Any other girl
would have screamed."
"I never scream," said Edith, indignant
ly; "and I don't want any sherrj."
"J am your uncle, and I say you are to
havo some drink it up."
"That depends very much upon circum
stances. It would bo a great grief to mo to
givo up my profession."
"It Is very odd, but I certainly thought
that mamma told mo yon had given up your
profession."
"Sho was mistaken," said Uncle George,
s'lortly.
"I havo often longed to go to India," cried
Elith.
"Have you ?" said George, very eagerly,
"Oh, yes, beyond anything; life there
givej everybody a chance. I mean, heroic
men nnd great characters aro formed In In
dia, and men have great responsibilities and
declopment for quite a tlKTcrent class of
most desirable qualities: there."
"That Is quite true; and you are just the
sort of woman to help a man to do any
thing." "I am so glad you think so, Uncle
George," sho said, laughing and blushing.
At 7 o'clock they reached a very large
station where tho train had half an hour tn
wait. They got up a cup of tr-a, nnd then
botlt being rather cold, they began to walk
vigorously up and down to tho very end of
the termitiusT " w '
"Take vour seats I" shouted tho porter.
..nJ . -s, t,- .
"laKo your seats l" and tiicytesimiea their
flask.
"There, good child, to do as you are
told."
At tho next station a perfect crowd of
passengers were waiting for the up train. A
great fete was going on in the next town for
tho visit of some royal personage, and tho
train was filled to overflowing. Presently
tho civil guard came up to the special car
rtage, and said, most deprecatingly, that
there was one gentleman who couldn't find
place nny where; and as he was only going
to the next station,-would they admit him
just for the twenty minutes? Undo George
consented very discontentedly, and very
grudgingly moved his long legs to admit of
the entry of a very Btout old gentleman,wlio
sat heavily down, and received into his am
plo lap a perfect pile of packages and bask
ets, and a brace of hares, and a rabbit tied
by tbe legs, which he had dexterously bus
pended by a string around his neck,
"Not worth while, indeed, my dear mad
am," he said, as Edith began to make room
for his things. "Only twenty minutes no

Tho heavily-weighted train moved otl.

suddenly. "Tnlk instead."
She shut up her book.
"To tell you' tho trulh, Uucle George,"
she said, "wo are getting" so near that I
am beginning to feel ridiculously nervous,"
Ho looked at his watch, and suddenly
started.
"So late," he said, "we shall bo therein

"Oh I"
"And tho fact is," ho began restlessly fidg
eting ; "the fact is a a I havo got a
confession to make to you,"
"To me ! Oh, Uncle George !"

Edith looked startled beyond measure.
'The fact is Edith", I am not my father."

"No, no; only, what waj a fellow to say

Kinensiro I'ttncrals. '
The following address .to tho public was
mndo by tho ministers of Nashville, Tenu.
The good senso of the arguments will strike
everv one :
We deem it our duty as Christian mtnlc-
tera to utter a word of sober counsel to tho
peoplo whoin we serve, ou a subject, the del
icate nature of which, we trust1, 'we fully ap
preciate, viz., extravagant expenditures in
connection with tho burial oi ourdcad. Our
motivo for speaking Is two-fold. Xirst, from
our position, we are more fully cognizant of
the existing evil than other are likely to be
come secondly, we nave been appealed to
by a number of tho wliest and most prudent
men among us to give our Influence to tbe
correction of abuses in this direction. Cus
toms prevail which entail upon families in
moderate circumstances debts which harrasa
them for years and lead, in many cases, to
intolerable burdens. Tho facts nro so well
known that wo do not feel It incumbent up
on its to enter into uctaiieu statement oi
them. Tho circumstances of funeral occa
sions are such that the nearest relatives a
deprived of all power to judge wltb calm
ness, or control expenditures with prudence.
Often they satisfy themselves with giving
the matter into the lm nils of others, with the
single request that bucIi a burlat Is to be
given as custom demands. It needs, there-'
fore, that custom bo wisely regulated.
After a thoughtful consideration of the re
forms needed nnd practicable, wo advise, in
the selection of burial-cases and parapher
nalia, simplicity and utility bo tho criteria
suggesting that display on such occasions be
longs to paganism rather than Christianity.,
Tlie reform of most Immediate value
which we would suggest Is, that tho duty ol
attendance on tho part of tho public at fu
nerals should bt- universally considered as
ended when tlie religious service is conclti-
Jed nt the church or tho rvidcnceoi the de
ceased ; that tha progress to tho cemetery
and the interment should bo private; that
the family provide no carriages except for
their owu use. Wealthy Christian men
will readily "practice this self-denial when
we assure them that the keen and pressing
wants of widpws and orphans all about us
plead for this alleviation. "Public sentiment
controls in these delicate matters, and they
give form and force to this sentiment.
Allow us to bring to your attention one
other desirable change. It often occurs,
tb it the fond desire of friends to obtain the
latest possible sight of their dead prevents
the permanent fastening of the coffin-lid un
til after tbe close of the religious service,
when a space is given for those who may
wish to approach the corpse for a last look.
For two reasons we recommend the abolition
of this practice. First : Medical science
opens to us numberless dangers as attendant
upon the presence of exposed dead bodies In
crowded rooms. Secondly : Our own hearts
indicate to us that tbo proferabl6 time for
this last look is befure the assembling of tho
peoplo which wait upon the. funeral service.
Wo would affectionately suggest, therefore,
that in all cases tho coffin be hermetically
closed before the service, and tbat tbe body
be not detained for what often becomes not
only a tryiug but dangerous tax upon the
already overstrained nerves of sorrowing
families.
The I'ull-llark Outdone by the Eel-Skin, the
Latest Agnny.
Tho "eel-skin" dres-i is now tho great rage
both in Eon'don and Paris In the wildest
days of tlie tie-back Jor pin-back m'ania there
nocr was seen sucu a iiguiucss in tne mat
ter of skirt as now prevails. Whatever the
paucity of folds in the pin-back iu its front
part, in tho enormous exuberanco of tho
pannier or bustle the balance was struck.
Miss Connor, n bridesmaid, summoned
Dr. Lynch, a wedding guest, before a Dub
lin police court on March 24 on a charge of
having damaged herj'silk gown. At the
wedding ho had attempted to kiss her and
in the struggles her dress was torn. He al
so accidently spilled some tea on it. The
dress was worth 1, and he promised to re
place it, but did not. She said sho com
plained of his conduct to her aunt, who on
ly laughed, and said, "she would get used to
it." For tho defence it was pleaded that
the wedding guest only took the recognized
liberties with a bridesmaid ; but the magis
trate contended tbat not being the best man
the defendant was not privileged. The
counsel evincing a disposition to be dispti
tatous, the mcgistrate dismissed the case
abruptly with tho remark, "Go away ont or
that."
an old fogy liko me," he said, blandly ; "for
of course with half an eye I can see the ten
tier situation."
A deep growl from Uncle George. He
gave a, little start and went on to him-
eelf-
"Swect young couple! just wedded eh?"
Edith felt half choked with laughter, but
sho managed to say convulsively :
"Will you givo me my book, Uncle
Georgo ?"
The old gentleman started, cocked hia head
liko a blackbird, does when he perceives a
very fat worm, and muttered :
"Impossible I"
Edith and George were wrapped In their
respective novels. Tho old getitlemau fidg
cted, pighed.and arranged his features into
most sanctimonious expression. There
was a dead silence till ho reached his station,
where he descended. Tho departure bell
wa9 ringing, when his head suddenly reap
peared at the window, the hares and rabbit
streaming wildly from tho back of his neck.
"My children," ho said, "take my advice,
go back to your friends. This." A little
