After awhile we came to a stopping place. The curly haired fellow put his shawl over the back of the seat to keep his place for him, and went out. Quick as thought I piled the boxes into Mrs. Poo dle's lap, stepped over her, and took the seat the young man just vacated. Mrs. Graves looked up at me in evideai surprise. She removed her veil now, and I was astonished to see how pretty she was. I had expected she was elderly, and this lady could not be more than twenty five, I thought. I was thirty. I had long before decided that she was a widow— probably that was what her dress was trimmed in black for. I honored her now with a good look. Her hair was a rich golden brown, and gathered in a net behind, which strayed a few careless ringlets ; none of your de tettable water Ms, composed of black yarn, and dirty horse hair. She had a clear complexion, with a dash of crimson in the cheeks, brown eyes, and a mouth that —well I was an old bachelor then, and did not believe in women ; but I did think I wouldn't mind touching those red lips with my own, just to see how it would seem ; for in all my life, I had never kiss ed any woman but my mother—if I except aunt Peggy, who had the catarrh and took snuft. Before many moments elapsed, the early haired young man returned, and looked daggers and butcher knives at me. " This is my scat, sir," said he, with an air of authority. I beg your pardon, sir," said I. "This lady is under my charge, and I claim-the right to sit with her." " Under your charge Pt said he, with a look of surprise. "Then why the deuce didn't you sit with her before '1" " I—l—thought she would be more comfortable with the seat to herself," said I. "I am sorry to disturb you, sir, but you can take the seat I have just left." And I pointed with my thumb over my shoulder, to the seat occupied by Mrs. Poodle. I= Thank you for the suggestion," said the young man, " but I prefer the smok ing car." Which proved him to be a, very sensible fellow after all. Well, it wasn't half so bad as it might have been to sit beside my traveling com panion. She did not smell so much of musk, and she had no bundles,es, nor bandboxes. The wind came V i tt the crack of the window, and I fixed a shawl to keep it out, and somehow I touched her hand. What a thrill went through me' It was like taking a shock from a galvanic battery, only rather pleasanter. Pretty soon we fell to talking. Ido not remember what we commenced about, but I recollect distinctly that 1 was surprised to find how sensible she was. It was a little curious to me where a woman ever managed to pick up so many ideas ; and it was still more curious how she knew just what to say and where to say it. To cut a long matter short, we had au exceedingly pl easant _ day of it ; and when night came, Mrs. Graves went otf to sleep with her head on my coat, and a shawl piled up against the side of the car. But by and by I fell to thinking that the road was so rough and the ears jolted so, that ,', she would not rest well, and then I won- I dered how I could fix her better. The lights had burned very dim—evi dently kerosene was scarce—and the pas sengers were all asleep, and snoring as people never snore anywhere except in a railway car, and—well, you see I pitied her poor head, bobbing around so with everyjolt, and I just drew it down to my shoulder and put my arm around her to keep her in place. I hope no one will be ily for fret us LANCASTER, PA., FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1869. Nast. 4tioaliantauo. ME=l =I unkind enough to blame me for so doing : it was all the result of my naturally kind heart, you know. You ask me how I felt ? Why, as if I had swallowed a couple of rainbows wash ed down with cologne and otto of roses. Probably I was not quite in my right mind with the novelty of the sensation, and that was what made me kiss her ; and after the first kiss, somehow there didn't seem to be any stopping place. But then I had never had practice, and I wanted to perfect myself; you know. I did not sleep any that night, it seemed as if I ought not to sleep ; somebody might have picked my pockets, or there might have been a collision, or something might have happened, and so I had to kiss Mrs. Graves now and then to keep me awake. Next morning she awakened as fresh and rosy as a pink just blossomed. She asked me if I had rested well, and I told her yes, delightfully. How pretty and refreshed she looked. Not gray and stupid and red eyed as everybody else did, but just as bright as if she had slept in her own bed at home. ltitris I don't believe that any of us begin to • lizt low m hof cot r gooikipcilmis itiac ' ' iis Wm of sitip and iinter, and a fine comb, but a fists days and nights travel on a railway will wake us up to an understanding of it : for if any one has beauty enough to make them lis , k decent after a night's rest in a railway car, then they never need be afraid that time will destroy their beauty; for what a night under the circumstances inentionfil i•an't do, time can't do either. By and by we came to a refreshment stopping place, and there we all washed our flutes and got something to eat. And such a cup of collie as I had! I t was nectar! ,shr sweetened it for me, which is the only reason I know of for its supe riority. Ali! well, that was a delightful journey, but I must not be too lengthy in describing A little while before we would leach Chicago, Mrs. Craves turned to Inc and said: "Mr. sanford, I cannot expm , s the gratitude I feel toward you for your kind ness. T am afraid I have given you a o•reat deal of trouble—" "Trouble!" interrupted I. "Whatever 1 have done has been a pleasure.'' "You are very gallant to say so; but know what a nuisance :you consider all women, and—'' "Not such women as you," said 1, cursing the luck that had revealed my predilection to her, and making a vow that when 1 saw Toni .rasher, I would blow him up for telling her. "Thank you." And she laughed in a way perfectly . bewitching. "You are very good; and now that our journey is almost at an end, perhaps you had better give me my checks. Charles will be at the depot to meet me, and he will relieve you from the trouble of seeing after my luggage. Dear old ti►liow! how delighted I shall be to see him. Only think! I have been absent from him four long months!'' Charles! My heart seemed bursting the moment she spoke that name with such longing accents of fondness. Charles! how I despised that cognomen! heard of a man once named Charles; who was hung. Mentally I wished this Charles could speedily meet the fate of his namesake. And I had supposed she was a widow. iasher said she was going to join her family. Well, who should her tinnily be but her husband and children? Good heavensl , and there was no deny ,in it ; I had fallen in love with her. I might as well own it first as well as last. I ought to have known that if she had been a widow she would not have worn that rose on her hat; but then women arc up to all sorts of dodrs about dress. And here I had been hugging her, and kissing her—and she another mans wife! And I was angry enough with this abominable Charles to wring his neck; and so full of pain and despair that I could have swal lowed a teacupful of laudanum with pleasure. Evidently she thought I did not hear her request, for directly she repeated it, and I gave her the little bits of brass with a deep sigh which I could not smother. "You do not look well, Mr. Sanford," said she, kindly. "I fear the journey has not been pleasant to you." "I am perfectly well, thank you.” • growled and took out a newspaper and pretended to read the rest of the way. I caught her looking at me out of the confer of her eye in a half amused sort of way, but I flatter myself I had managed to conceal from her the state of my feel ings. "Chicago," bawled the conductor. I assisted my fair companion to alight, and hardly had her feet touched the plat form before a tall, fair man, with reddish whiskers, had her in his arms, and they were kissing each other as if they were used to it. "Dear Charles," said she, pressing , closely to his side, I ant so 0-lad to see you. This is Mr. Sanford ° , who has ; been very kind to Inc all the way, Mr. ; Jasi.er's friend. I bowed, and felt myself very much a , : trop. "(ood morning!" said I stiffly, and wits walking away. She touched my arm, and I turned around and faced her. Her cheeks were very red, and her eyes were , bright as diamonds, and the dear little ' crimson mouth I had kissed so many times, was puckered up into its most per suasive smile as she said; "Please call at No. 47 5 street, and see us, won't you?" him who shall hare borne the battle, and Won , and his orithan, to do all n'hich may and cherish a just and a lasting peace leigiye., amyl with 4411 I went to a hotel, ordered a room, and (lung myself on the bed, as much cut up generally as any hero of aline novel whose heart is broken; and I ought to have been seeing after my business. after a while I arose, and put on a clean collar and washed the cinders out of my eyes. IMt a little better, but could not be contented to sit down and think; I wanted excitement of some kind. I thought I would go to the theatre.

" Probably your husband is safe enough,'' said I, feeling as if sonic one had struck me suddenly blind. My husband ? 1 hope he is," said site, in an amused tone, •• hut I do not know who he is yet." " Not know ?" cried 1, eagerly. "Is it possible ? My dear Mrs. Graves, tell me the truth ! Who is this Charles ?" " lie is my brother. It was his wife with him."' "My darling 1" I exclaimed getting, her into my arms and stopping all further explanations in a way which is familiar to all lovers, I suppose. "And now tell me if I may not hope ?" She did not tell me, butt took her silence for consent. "My little darli.r, I love you! And please tell me your 'first name, dear. I cannot very well call you by your last one now. Mrs. Graves is so formal." "My name is not Graves," said she, archly. •• Oh'. then it was Gains ?" Neither. I suppose Mr. Jasper's in troduction was too much hurried for him to be very particular. " Then what is your name r' •• Gray !" •• And the Christian name ?" •• Fanny !" A light broke over me. " Fanny (ray ? Good gracious ! you don't pretend to say--'' " Yes I do," said she nestling a little closer to me. "Dear old Fred. don't he overwhelmed by it, and please don't think I planned it to win back the love of long ago." "Fanny, tell me, if I should say to you just what I said to you so many years ago in the lake pasture—" "`with your knees two inches deep iu mud," interrupted she, laughingly. "Don't tease me, dearest. If I should say over what I then said, what would you say ?" " I loved you then, Fred, in my girlish way • but I was a bit of a coquette, and I dui like to torment you. You were such a jealous boy Fred." " Well am Ito have your love now ?" She put her soft hand against my cheek. " I suppose so. It has always been yours. Many a time my heart has ached for your love and tenderness ?" " Did Jasper plan this joureny ?" asked, after a silence very delightful to us both. / „.7 . 1 thankevl her and signified that I would do so; but I had no more idea of it than I had of calling at No. 47 - street in the nu sm. ble Charles, and on the other side of him a young lady, who was pretty, I suppose, but I did not notice her much then. T had no eyes for any body or anything, save Mrs. Graves. The music was applauded vociferously, hut I do not know to this day whether it was Yankee Doodle or Old Hundred. opera (*pc over her should re, out the daintiest little pink hood that you ever saw on her head. It looked like a wreath of foam with the sun shining on it. Suddenly there was a cry of tire! There generally is, if ever you've noticed, when a building gets full of people who are en joying themselves. It is not often that there really is any tire; but every body thinks there is, and in the rush for safety any quantity of bones are broken, and tl • bone-setters get lots of jobs. It has lo been my opinion that the people who raise the cry of fire at such places are hired by the surgeons, so that they may get a few extra jobs. At that ominous cry, every person in the room sprang up, and the scene which ensued baffles description. The strong bore down the weak—women and children were trodden under foot, and no mercy shown to any one. Each one was bent on saving his own life. I fought my way through the crowd till I reached her side. Pale and terrified, she clung to the arm of Charles; and he had his arm, I noticed, around the waist of the other woman. I took Mrs. (raves' hand and drew her toward me. She gave a little glad cry at the sight of me. Then I put my arm around her and my face close down to hers. "Will you trust yourself with me? I asked. "Oh ! yes," she said eagerly. "It is all Charles can do to take care of Minnie." I. carried her out of a side door in a wide corridor opeliing upon a back piazza, and where no one had thought of seeking egress. By this time I knew there was no fire, and I had been sure of, this from the first; but the crush of the crowd, fran tic, half-crazed as they were, was frightful, and it was indeed a relief to get out of it. The lady was terrified, and clung to me in a way perfectly delightful; and I put both arms around her, entirely it getting she had a Charles.

When I went back to New York, Mrs. Sanford accompanied me ; and Tom Dasher was as jubilant over us as a cat over a mouse just ca 'ht. • - .4.44 - 40144py .to witat!e ove est occurrence of all my Tile. And it may he proper for me to say, that, during the whole thirteen years of our separation, Fanny Gray and I had never met ; so you will understand why it was that I did not recognize her. While the congregation were collect ed at church, on a certain occasion, an old, dark-featured, skin-and-bone indi vidual was seen wending his way up the aisle, and took his seat near the pulpit. The officiating minister was one of that class who detested written sermons, and as for prayers, he thought they ought to be natural outpourings of the held. After singing was concluded, they were, as usual, called to prayer. The genius we have introduced did not kneel, but leaned his head devotionally upon his pew. The minister began by saying: •Ta,ther of all, in every age, by saint and savage adored— '"Pope!" said a low but clear voice near old hard-features. The minister, after casting an indignant glance in the irection of the voice, con tinued: "Whose throne sitteth on the adaman tine hills of Paradise—'' "Milton!" again interrupted the voice. The minister's lips quivered for a moment, but recovering himself, he be gan: "We thank Thee, most gracious Father, that we are permitted once more to assem- Me in Thy name, while others, equally meritorious, but less favored, have been carried beyond that bourne from which no traveler returns—" ‘•Shakmpeare!" again interrupted the voice. This was too much. "Put that impu dent rascal out," shouted the minister. "Original," ejaculated the voice, in the ' most calm but provoking manlier. The man or boy who gots through the streets whooping and haw-hawing is cer tainly a fit representative of nonsense. And when that man or boy goes to any place of public interest, he is sure to be not only a nonsense, but a public nuisance. When he goes to church, he crowds him self into the hindmost seat, and keeps eat ing peanuts or chewing tobacco, and com mits sundry other acts of decorum. If he goes to a place of amusement, he whistles, clacks, stamps, hoots, bellows, bawls, laughs and screams, worse than any other idiot would, with only half the pretensions to common sense. When you see such a man, spot him. He is either a pickpocket or a fool; a sot or a vagabond; a villain or a maniac. When you see such a boy, put him down as a candidate for promotion, or rather degradation (for we believe the scale descends) to any sordid vocation, which is sordi enough to meet the wants of his depraved tastes. The proudest man we have met for many a day is an old friend who has lately been made a grandfather. Somehow there is a beautiful sympathy between age and youth. When the tug of life is past, and the years begin to bear one down towards the narrow valley, child hood seems to come back with its sweet simplicity and its artless affectioo. Ex tremes meet. The child and the old man are playmates. The second generation appears in time to bless the declining years of the grandfather, and bring him under the genial influences which befit, that period of life. Beautiful arrange ment of Providence! —There is wisdom as well as wit hi some ofJosh Billings sayings, the follow ing for instance: The art ov becoming ov importance in the eyes of others iz not to overrate ourself, but tew cause them tew do it. Flattery iz like Kolone water, tew be smelt ov, not swallowed. Living on hope is like living on wind, a good way to get fUll, but a poor way to get phatt. )Benny people spend their time trieing tew find the hole whare sin got into this world—if two men brake through the ice into a mill pond, they had better hunt for some good hole tew get out, rather than get into a long argument about the hole they cum to fall in. —Josh Billings says: " There is two things in this life for which we are never prepared, and that is twins."
