MY LITTLE WIFE,.
BY DAVID IVINGATI:
My little wife often around the chureh-hlll,
Sweet little, dear little, neat-feoted Jane,
Walked slowly, and lonely, and thoughtfully,
until
The afternoon bell chimed its call o'er the
plain:
And nothing seemed sweeter
To me than to ineether
And tell her what weather 'twas likely to be,
My heart the while glowing,
The selfish wish growing,
That all her alrectious were centered in me.
My lile once ('t's strange, but yet It is true,)
Sweet little, dear little, love-troubled Jane,
So deeply absorbed in her day-dreaming grew,
The bell chimed and ceased, though she heard
not its strain ;
And I walking near her,
(May love ever cheer her
Who thinks all such wandering of sin void and
free,)
Strove hard to persuade her
That he who had made her
Had destined her heart-love for no one but
me.
My little wife—well, perhaps this was wrong—

Nor tired of the preacher that thus could de 7

IVASTED TIME.
Alone in the dark and silent night,
With the heavy thought of a vanishing year
When evil deeds conic back to sight,
And good deeds rise with a welcome cheer;
Alone with the spectres of the past,
That come with the old year's dying chime,
There glooms one shadow dark and vast,
The shedow of Wasted Time.
The chances of happiness cast away,
The opportunities never sought,
Tice good resolves that every day
Have died it the impotence of thought;
The slowadvance an:l the backward step
In the rugged path we have striven to eli b
How they furrow the brow and pale the lip,
When we talk with Wasted Time.
'What are we now? What have we been,
hind we hoarded time with the miser', ;;,gill,
Striving our lionest meed to will,
Through the atunmer's heat and the winter's
coil;
Sprinking from naught that the world:could do;
Fearing naught but the touch of crime;
ihboring, struggling, all seasons through,
And knowing no Wasted Time.
Who shall recall the vanished years?
Who shall hold back this ebbing tide
That leaves us remorse, and shame, and tears
And washes away all things beside?
Who shall give us the strength e'en now
To leave forever this holiday rhyme;
To shake oir this sloth from heat and brow,
And battle with Wasted Time.
The years that pass come not again,
The things that die no life renew ;
But e'en from the rust of. his cankering chain
A golden - truth is glimmering through;
That to him who learns from,errorspast,,

And makes each year outdo the last,

THE QUAKER PASSENGER.
We were five passengers in all; two
ladies on the back scat, a middle-aged
gentleman, and a Quaker on the middle,
and myself on the one in front.
The tw•o ladies might have been moth
er and daughter, aunt and niece, govern
ess and charge, or might have sustained
any other relationship which made it prop
er for two ladies to travel togethei unat
tended.
The middle aged man was sprightly
and talkative He soon struck up an ac
quaintance with the ladies,towards whom,
in his zeal to do, he rather overdid the
agreeable—bowing and smiling and chat
ting over his shoulder in a way painfully
suggestive, at this time of his life, of a
" crick" in the neck. lie was evidently
a gray Lothario.
The Quaker wore the uniform of his
sect, and confined his speech, as many a
parliamentarian wouhl save his credit by
doing, to simple " yeas" and " nays."
Towarr;s evening I was aroused front
nue of these reveries into which a young
man without being either a poet or• a lov
er, will sometimes fall, by the abrupt
query from th'n talkative gentleman :
•• Are you armed, sir ?"
" I am not," I answered, astonished no
doubt visible, at the question.
" I ant sorry to hoar it," he replied ;
for before reaching our stopping-place
it will be several hours in the night, and
we must pass over a portion of the road
on whiCh more than one roulx•ry is report
ed to have been COW witted."
The ladies turned pale, but the stranger
did his best to reassure, thew.
" Nut that I think there is the slight
est danger at present," he resumed ; "only
when one is responsible for the safety of
ladies, you know, such a thing as a pistol
in reach would materially add to one's
confidence."
'• Your principles my friend," address
ing the Quaker, 7 presume, are as much
opposed to carrying as to using carnal
weapons?"
" Yes," was the reponse.
" have the villains- murdered any of
their victims ?" the elder lady nervously
inquired.
Or, have they contented themselves
with—with plundering them ?" added the
nan4er iu a timoruos voice.
" Decidedly the latter," the atuiuble
gentleman hastened to give assurance;
" and as we are none of us prepared to of
fer resistance in case of attack, nothing
worse than robbery can befall us."
Then after blaming his thoughtlessness
in having unneccessarily introduced a dis
agreeable subjcct,the gentleman quite ex
celled himself in efforts to raise the spirits
of the company, and succeeded so woll by
the time night set in, that all had quite
forgotten, or only roue - Inhered their fears
to laugh at them.
Our genial companion fairly talked
Litnsclf hoarse. Perceiving which ; lie
took from his pocket a package of newly
invented " cough candy," and after pas
ing it first to the ladies he helped himself
to the balance and tossed the paper out of
the window. •
He was in the midst of high encomiums
on the new nostrum, more than half the
efficacy of which, he insisted, depended
on its being taken by suction, when a shrill
whistle was heard, an almost immediately
the coach stopped, while two faces hide
ously blackened, presented themselves at
each window.
" Sorry to trouble you," said the man
9n the right, acknowledging with a
bow two-lady screams from the back scat;
" but business is business,' and ours will
soon be over, if things go smo"thly."
" Of course, gentlemen, you will spare
as far as will be consistent with your dis
agreeable duty, the feelings of these la
dies," -appealed the polite passenger, in
the blandest manner.
"Oh certainly they shall be first at
tended to; end shall not be required to
leave their places, or submit to search, un
less their conduct renders it necessary."
"And now, ladies," conrinued the rub
ber, the barrel of his pistol gleaming in
the light of the coach lamp, " be so good
as to pass out your purses, watches. end
such other trinkets as may be acce-iible
without too much trouble."
The ladies came down handsomely, and
were not further molested.
One by one the rest of us were compell
ed to getout the middle aged gentleman's
turn coming first. He submitted with a
winning grace, and was rubbed like a very
Chesterfield.
My own affair, like the sum I lost, was
scarcely worth mentioning. The Quaker . :-
turn came next. He quietly handed over
his pocket-book and watch, and a,ked if
lie had any other valuables, said " Nay "
• A. Quaker's word ii good, even ata. - n : !
thieves ; so, after a ‘• good night," the
robber thrust his pistol into his pecLet
and with his two companions, ONO of
whom had held the reins of the leaders,
was about to take his departure.
"Stop!" exclaimed the Quaker, in a
tone more of command than request.
"Stop! what for!" returned the other
iu evident surprise.
"Fur at least two good reasons," was
the reply, emphasized with a cauple of
Derringers cocked and presented.
"Help!" shouted the robber.
"Stop!" the Quaker again exclaimed
—"and if any one of thy companions ad
vances a step to thy relief the spirit will
surely move me-to blow thy brains out."
The robber at the opposite window,
and the one at the leaders' heads thought
it a good time to leave.
"Now get in, friend," said the Quaker,
still covering his man, "and take the mid
dle seat, but first deliver up thy pistol."
The other hesitated.
-'Thee had better not delay; I feel the
spirit 'begin to move my right forefinger."
The robber did as he was directed, and
the Quaker took his seat by his side, giv
ing the new comer the middle of the seat.
The driver who was frightened halrout of
his scat, now set forward at a rapid rate.
The lively gentleman soon recovered his
vivacity. lie was especially facetious on
the Quaker's prowness.
"You're a rum Quaker, are you. Why
you don't quake worth a cent."
"I am not a 'Shaking Quaker,' if that
is what thee means."
"Of the 'Hickery' or rather 'Old Hick
ory' stripe, I should say," retorted the
lively man ; but the Quaker relapsing
into his usual monosylables, the conversa
tion flagged.
Thee sped, and sooner than we expect
ed, the coach stopped where we were to
have supper and change of horses. We
had deferred a re-distribution of our ef
fects till we should reach this place, as
the dim light of the coach-lamp would
have rendered the process somewhat diffi
cult Wore.
It was now necessary, however, that it.
should b , 3.attended to at once, as our jovi
al companion had announced his intention
of leaving at this point. fie proposed a
postponement till after supper, which he
offcred to no and order.
"Nay," urged the Qulker, with an a
proach to abruptness, and laying his hand
un the other's arm, "business before pleas
ure,' and fur business there is no time like
the present:"
"Will thee lie good enough to search
the prisoner ?" he said to me, still keep
ing his hand, in a friendly way, on the
passenger's arm.
I did so, but nut ouc of the stolen arti
cles could be found.
"He must have got rid of them in the
coach," the gay gentleman suggested, and
immediately offered to go and search.
"Stop!" . thundered the Quaker, his
grasp tightening.
The man turned pale and struggled
to release his artu. In an instant one of
the Derringers Iris leveled at his heart.
"Stir a hand or a loot and you are a
dead man."
The Quaker must have been awfully ex
cited o c ompletely to forget both the lan
guage and the principle of his persuasion.
Placing the other pistol in my hand,
with directions to fire on the first of the
two men that made asuspicious movement,
•
he went to work on Lothario, from whose
pockets, in less time than I take to tell if,
he produced every item of the missing
property, to the utter amazement of the
two ladies, who bad begun, in no measur
ed terms to remonstrate against the shame
ful treatment the gentleman was receiving.

Quaker at all, but shrewd detective,

Friend—•who didn't look near so middle

The robbery Lad been adroitly planned.
The leader of the gang had taken passage
in the stage, and after learning, as he
supposed, our defenseless condition, had
given the siunal to his companious • by
throwing out the scrap of paper already

ture of' the first robber, it was attempted

Mr:Stanton said it p:ined him to see

He said it was a great error, and related

dideverything in hi: power to make him
tight what he wanted to make the closing
battle of the war. Accordingly, when
Hooker got under way and news came
that at Chancellorville he would make his
fight, Mr. Lincoln was in the greatest
state of mental excitement. From the
time that Hooker began to march until
the smoke of battle had cleared from the
fatal field of Chancellorville, he scarcely
knew what it was to sleep. It willbe re
membered the fight lasted three days.
During the first two days it looked as if
Hooker was about to aecomplisht what so
many failed to do, but early on the third
day the usual half honi dispatches began
tt make matters look worse. That whole
day Mr. Lincoln was miserable. He ate
nothing and would see no one but Mr.
Stanton. As it grew dark the despatches
ceased coming altogether. The President
would walk from the White House to the
War Department and anxiously inquire
for Hooker. The night was dark and
stormy—about as mean a night as was
ever experienced in Washington. About
7 o'clock the President closed his visits to
the War Department.
An hour afterward a despatch of an in
definite character was received, and Mr.
Stanton hurried with it to tbe White
House. He tbund Hr. Lincoln walking
the room, and, as he entered, the agbuiz
lug appearance of the man so terrified him
that it was with difficulty that he could
speak. Mr. Lincoln walked to him like a
wiid wan, and, seizing the despatch from
his hand, read it, and simply remarked :
"Stanton there's hope yet !" At Mr.-
Stanton's solicitation he accompanied hint

. French Compressed .fir 1; rake
Recently, on the Railway, the operation
of a compressed air brake—in use for two
or three years in Europe, and tested ton
several Erie Railway Engines for several
months past—was exhibited to a select
company of railway and newspaper men.
This device, invented by a Frenchman,
Augusta de Bcrgue, is pronounced by
competent engineers very successful,
though riot intended entirely to do away
with the use of friction brakes. It is a
very simple apparatus, attached to the en
gine, and giving the engineer primarily
the control of the train. When the steam
is cut off the air may be admitted through

adit valves in front of the ermine to the
exhaust pipes, and thence to the steam
chests, where it forms a sort of cushion
of resistance, the momentum of the train
compressing the air constantly until the
whole force is deadened and the cars fi
nally brought to a standstill. The com
pression is so even and gradual that all
sudden shocks and jerks are avoided, and
the stoppage is effected in about the same
time as that reqUired by the friction
brakes, while the wear and tear upon
wheels and tracks is . wholly obviated. For
ordinary stoppages it has, been found
quite sufficient and in cases of emergen
cy it may be. reinforced by the hand brakes
and a train going at .the rate of 30 miles
an hour be brought to a sudden stand
without the dangerous strain upon the en
gine which attends a_ sudden reversal.
(inc of its leading advantages is the con-
trol it gives the engineer over the train,

A Dead Man Signs His Own Will.
An interesting will case, which has been
pending in the courts in Franklin county,
Mo., for years past, rivals in its nature
anything of the sort possibly ever heard
of in the history of the present age. The
circumstances, as gathered from one of
the attorneys engaged for' the - defense
(outside of the court room.) are briefly as
follows: Some years ago there lived in
the town of Washington an old bachelor,
who pcssessed a considerable amount of
property, and had no relatives save one,
who, it is said, was needy. The individ
ual (bachelor) was taken quite ill, and
was advised to make his will which he
did, bequeathing all of his estate to the
children of a friend. The news became
generally known in the town of the man
ner in which the testator had disposed of
his property, leaving out any considera
tion to his kindred friend. While the
wan still lingered on his bed of sickness,
it-was made up among some of the friends
of the relative, that three of them should
visit the sick man and advise him to make
a second will, with provisions for the re
lief nf the kinsman. Consent being
given, the parties, who, it is said, were
all on a " tight," and who had no personal
interest in the matter save the good feel
ing they entertained for the neglected
friend, appointed one of their number to
write. The table was drawee up close to
the bedside of the sick man who, as well
as he could, dictated the nature of his be
e,uest. Before the conclusion and sign
ing of the will the man died; one of the
party remarked to the scribe " that i t was
useless to go or., as the matt was dead as
h—l." however, after its conelusion,the
dead man %v.v., lifted up iu a sitting _pos
ture and held, the pen was placed between
his liii:ccrs and made to trace his name,
titer which the AuP,tiou was asked. "Do
yon acknowledge this to 1)::: your signature
and l.Ht will'!" etc. The dead man, by
the ai I cf tho:-e that held him up, nodded

THE funeral train that is to convey the
remains of the late George Peabody from
Portland to Peabody, is now being pre
pared in Boston. It will consist of three
of the finest ears on the road, and a bag
gage ear. In one the seats have been re-
moved, and a raised dais ten feet in length
and two feet square..erected in the centre,
covered with black velvet, bordered with
silver braid, and festooned with massive
silver fringe, studded with silver rosettes
and tassels. On this the casket is to rest,
securely fastened. The car is lined with
alternate stripes of black and white alpaca
pendent from the centre of the monitor
roof, and looped back to the sides above
the windows. At each and the "Cross of
St. George" and the "Star Spangled Ban
ner" are hung and looped back in the
same manner, cov.red with black crape,
so that the colors are dimly seen through
it while the air will be redolent with the
perfume of choice flowers. A:handsome
carpet, in which black and green are ap
propriately blended, covers the floor. T
other two cars are to be festooned with
mourning, and to be hung on the outside
with black and white.
