Yon remember the railroad depot cent ra.ly uituated, with its enFtom j nn". western cntrarjocs exactly alike ?.s ! uviicli so aa the two ends ol a car. After we bad dined, the depot master ir.forsicd rv.e tLt we had seventeen nj'muted to "pare 'irtore of the eastern train. Sht i, wid give 100 0:1 oppor- j tisruty to J the e-ity, and pluri'HiS ! cnancc lor a smoke, prt viccn a c.ej;ytuati j could be tempt-d into ruch n piece of s wastdul and v.-ori -Vy r.riivsement. I paan- 1 tcrtd forth, and titter absence cf exactly ihirteen miuates, bavmg enjoyed a did;:Lt- j ful arid sjtliii'i f troll I was leisure! v re- wateu m nanii, wiien to my , sudden aMonishtuent, I beheld the train I slowly- gliding out t the other end ot tho ; depot, and increasing its tpecd at every J ujA' of its gigantic locomotive. ; ileie itideed was i "calf that admitted j of neither eorrespi-ndjiice nor delay ; there 1 v, us iio t'uue for "taking it into consider- J ntion." S'J, without conferrirg with flesh i odd blood, 1 put oil" like a sky-rocket with ! a double f-jfce. For n moment I thht j I hud U all mv own wav : I thoarht' I i 1 w? -uainirg mound, allhou"h I knew J.j rts losiog wiuvl 1 was encouraged in tl.t- i,ue by fuodry hipful fellows. wl:o krpi crying out I passed, "ir it gsit cial" "i'lacky bo Hit e.in't lei', () j no I'' and other well-meaning and henign- unt exhortation. Though they intended, pvrbap, helping me over the course, I txuiid iht IhtJ more they shouted the less inclined 1 t'a to run, and the mare deci dtdiy did 1 i.e locomotive make terribii headway juttinst me. To five up the cb? ; to submit to the chagrin of being left ; to lose my party nnd my passage ; to Lueet with disappointment, and not to meet with friends; till tins was bad enough ; but the thought cf encountering, dl the way back to Hie depot, that line of interested individuals who, with their cheering exclamations, had so feeling'' encouraged me on my outward journey, j was the bitterest pill in this unexpected dose. Hut it must be done; so, tapering off gradually, I gave up lhe contest and turned back to meet my fate, and if I could lind him the depot-master, whose blur. dermir statements were tho cause of all L my trouble. Without search, that indi vidual advanced to greet me wuh the .. . - r . oh mo reeofnilicn ot a laet Iliftl io. one could well deny. "Well, you got left, did ji'U ?' 1 replied ordy with resentment of a "silencing eye." Jf 1 looked ns I ttied to look, my photograph taken at that in stant would hardly be chosen to grace an album gallery of "eminent divines." Sev eral bysiar.derSjSeeking information, asked, with a show of confidential interest in my case, on what wise the tiling had happen ed ? and others, wishing to "point a mor al," advised me to be cn hand a little earlier next time. With returning breath, relief aud words came together, and 1 equarely charged the railroad oflieial with all the blame. I spoke of his incorapo tence in no measured terms, recalling how that after I had placed my party in the car he had assured me that there were full seventeen minutes to spare before the train.went out ; "while here," said I, with triumphant exhibition of my watch, "the seventeen minutea are even now barely up, and yet the train is gone and out of sight." After no little hot shot cast baek and forth, with the usual variations and fin d perorations cf "you did" nd "you didn't," "you're another," etc. I ns-ed hini wheth er I would be risking another chanca of being left if I depended upon bun to give me the exact hour of the departure of the next train. "Eastern!" exclaimed he. "Yes, Eastern." I replied, with a decided ly upward and sarcastic inflection. Said he, "why, the train you have been chasing I Tri'b soch good look wn-nt r.n E.t.'lern I train, but ilia Western Express." With j touch and intcresiin,; cordiH'n r.ml cx i itcn,en', I pfummcie 1 out, '-Thfn where ni Joppa tha Enrtern ?rt-jn "Why, there it replied ln, "jvi1-! eel tinj; unrler way at the olher cntl ti-e depot ; loo; if, or you'll lose that."" If ever I nmlc Dex ter lime, I rmiu'c it then. I pa?.ed rinht through the depot like Ihe wind I . ft-it ns if I wnv:iil leps.
