The Wrong Satchel
ATIUIN bound for St, Louis liail just

gentleman enteieil tlic smoking car, and
laid liia hand upon thu hlmulder ol'liia trav
eling fuinpiinioii a tall, liaudsoino man of
tliiily, who sat inuMiigly blowing rings of
moku into the air.
"Iercy," said tlio new coiner, "if you
want to see at once the, sweetest and saddest
iglit you ever beheld, go into thu last car
but one on the train. There's an emigrant
German woman, with lour little children,
ud dining the alieiuoon llio youugchl,
baby, lias died. Tito mother anil the oili

"I can understand," inlciiiptcd tlio biiio
ter, " tlio sadness of hui.Ii it scene, but
where is tint sweetness you spoko of?"
" I am coming to that. The whole party
Jiavo bevn taken in cliaige by a young lady.
Such a beauty I Bhu's dried the mother's
tears, and wiped the children's noses. She's
a divinity I She only needs a few feathers
on her shoulder-blades to make a ftdl-llegded
angel of her. If I was not a married until.
I'd never leave her till I'd made Mrs. An
gelica Townsend out of her."
"That's a speech which 1 shall faithfully
report to Mrs. Angoa Townsend." said the
aVv 1 51nt(i'll, Ji.., .f.nna.-nv
gentleman addressed its Marcy, rising. "I
; shall go back and fe ist, my eyes on this
J beautiful Sister of Charily; and," lie lid
ded, taking s tiavcling natchcl and shawl
from the rack, "as ve slop at tlio next
station, which is due in ten minutes, I may
as well take my trap llimugh villi me and
join you on the platl'mm.''
Thus sayii'g, liichaid Marcy threw his
shawl over his shoulder, and sauntered leis
urely through Hie long train rushing
blindly and calmly to his fate, r'or, as he
entered the Inst car but one hi; became a
witness and an actor in a scene that inllu
eni ed his whole future life.
The pnor, gi iel'-strii ken (iciiuan, of
whom his companion, Doctor Tuwnsind,
had spoken, wit Ii the dead infant in her
anus, sat silently weeping over the litllu
dead face.
The three sturdy children, grouped in
childish sorrow about, their lilllu dead
brother, was indeed a touching spec
ial lc. I5ut, standing beside them, was the
divinity of Doctor Tow tisend's admiral ion,
and she who was most certainly to "share
the cuds" of the unhappy Richard.
She was a tall, slender girl of eighteen,
with inagnilicent hair and eyes. As he en
tered the car, she was speaking, her lovely
face was Hushed, anil the small, rosy mouth,
disclosing a beautiful si t of teeth, turned
bewitchingly towaids the tall stianger at
tl c door.
" Ladies and gentlemen," spoke the
sweet voice, "this poor woman, friendless
and penniless, speaking no Knglish, with
four lilllu children, was expecting to lind
work in St. Louis to support them. If
everything had gone well wilh her it would
have been haul to; her ; but with her little
dead baby and her sorrow ful heart she is
certainly a deserving object of charily ;
and I piopnse that such as feel willing, con
tribute tl.eir inito tow, ml a little put se for
l.er immediate wauls and the burial of her
I our b i by. And," she added, wilh a be
witching Miiile, 'and if any giiit'eiin
will lend me a hat, I will go round and take
up a collection."
In tin instant the gallant liichaid pulled
bis travelling cap liiiiii his blonde curls,
oll'ercd it to the Angel of Mercy, who ac
cept ed it, with a bewitching smile, this
time all his own, and commenced gathering
the readily foitbcomitig dollars her gener
ous, graceful appeal brought from the
purses of all iu thu car.
Iticharil watched the slender figure in
gray gathering the money ;anil, looking at
the plaid cap in the white, jeweled lingers
he bethought him of his own donation and
s epping to the seat the beauty had just oc
cupied he laid its satchel and shawl upon
a family of its kind, belonging to the angel
' K1'1'' nl"l toU from his pocket a ten dol
lar bill, which he placed in the little hand
that returned him his cap. Further dam
age the poor fellow leeched, v hen a second
sin. In and wai -inly-worded thanks for his lib
er il contribution wcio dealt him from the
beautiful mouth.
Dick was in the midst of an elaborate re
ply, when the cars stopped, lie lingeied
yd another moment, seized his satchel and
shawl, w ith his eyes still on the face of his
charmer, and then, even as the cars were
again iu million, he bethought himself of the
doctor, and liuiriedly left the car and joined
hi- friend on thu platform.
' Well," ejaculalid that woilhy, I began
to believe you'd concluded to go and bury
the dead ial.y, and make the protecting
beauty Mrs. Angelica M.ircy. Isn't she a
stunner?"
'Townsend." returned Ids friend, "don't
use slang in speaking of the noble uiealuie."
lie looked after the train just disappearing
at thu distance. "Iw ish to Heaven," he
continued, "I'd remained aboard. How
stupid 1 was to lmive it. I might havo
learned her iiaiuu and residence. And
now "
" Now, in all probability." broke iu the
doctor, "you'll never meet her iu this vale
of tears. lul you'll know her iu Heaven, if
you behave yourself well enough togt t there
by her wings ; she'll have thu biggest of any
of them, seeing they've commenced to
sprout on earth."
And thus rallying his thoroughly captivated
fiiiind, thu two made, I heir way to the house
of an aeipiaiutance, with whom they were
to remain that night, and go on the next
day to their destination St. Louis.
After the first salutation, our burn went
to his room, to remove some of the evi
dences of his long ride from New York. He
had removed his coat vest and collar; he
had splashed and soaped and washed, till
his dump ciulsclung close to his shapely
head, when he iiinde a startling discovery.
Flushed and breathless he burst into the
next room, upon his friend.
" Townsend," cried he, "what upon
caith do you sup) o-c? I've got the wrong
bag. I've eliaiigul I aggagcwilh the Angel
of Mercy. Look at that slip er. See that
thimble, (lonli iiipl.ito lhal glove."
' Il's i ndent you'e got the lady's satch
el. And what was theie iu youis'.'-'
"Don't. Ming up thai dreadful idea,"
said Dick. ' t'igais and a hair brush, a
1 pack of cauls and a comb, pockct-IIask and
a tooth brush everything disreputable. If
, lam judgeil by lltat bag, I am a lost man."
j- " And this 1 look for a clean shut," and
I Dick held up it ft Mini and lluti d nick, such
as do duly for mote exlcnsive iiiglil-dresses
wilh ladies win ti liavi ling. I'd like to see
Angelica when she open my satchel."
And Dick fell to musing, with the slipper
perched on two lingers, and the frilled
while sack rprcad out tonicity upon, his
knees.

In nr. upper apartment of a handsome
mansion in St. Louis, mi the evening of the
day our heroine liit made the leader's
acipiaiiilanec, bcaul ii'ul li.llc Aldeu, the
petted and only daughter of the house,
set contemplating I he vaiious nitidis l.er
conlideulial maid was disposing upon the
table articles taken from no less a recepta
cle than Dick Marcy's (raveling bag.
The cauls and cigar ease lay side by side
and a highly secnlid party they were.
" What's iu the little silver llask, Itosa?"
said thu fair Mistress.
" lirandy, ma'am," replied the maid.
"lie can't bu very dissipated to travel
with such a liltle bottle. That's in case of
sickness, I suppose," returned IJelle.
"It is my belief," said Itisa, who was a
shrewd girl, "that thu gentleman was a
niigbly nice one, else you'll not so readily
exeusu the cauls and the bottle."
"For shame, IJosa. All gentleman play
euchre traveling, and even clergyman take
a little biaudy iu caso of sickness,'' ans
woed Ilelle. "And this man was a gentle
man, and a liberal one, loo, for he gau the
poor emigrant woman $10. What's that,
Komi?"
For, at that moment, IJosa held between
her lingers a letter.
Whether it was wrong to read a si ranger's
letter vexed llclle for a moment, as her eyes
glanced at the superscript ion an 1 h in I wri
ting. Why, of all things !"' exclaimed the de
lighted gill, sei.iug lliu letter. ' Why,
IJosa this is Jenny Matey 's writing, and
aildiesscd to Uieliaid Matey her only
darling brother who was in Ihuopu when
we two graduated at Madam Hitler's iu
Hrooklyn."
Ili-lle read rapidly till she had leached thu
middle of thu letter, when slut burst into a
merry laugh.
"Hear this, IJosa," she said, and she
read fiom the Ii tier :
"Above all things, Dick, dear, don't fail
while iu St Louis , to see my best friend
and school mate, Hellu Aldeu. I know you
will fall iu love with her, for, besides being
thu best girl in thu world, she's a beauty
and an heiiuss, and father's choice above
all oil, eis, for his sou's wife. Ho used to
talk it over at home, and hope Hello would
not marry bel'oie you eaiuu homo from

"Then this gentleman is, of course, Miss
Jenny's brolhei," .said Hosa, "and what

" I don't intend to tell her of it till I go
to New York this bill," said lielle, " Per

lint in this supposition Hello was wrong.
Thu month passed, nnil she saw no mu:o
of the goldeii-headcd liichaid.
And she carefully scpiualed tlio yellow
lock In tlio little keepsake from the dark
tiess of Jenny's and put it back into its
place alone, while another locket held the
bit of Jenny's. And, somehow', Hellu look
ed very, very often at thu weu golden curl
and she never did so but the rest of the
handsome head sprang up beside tlio lock ;
and she would sit and contemplate the pic

In her bosom for Jenny's brother.
In the fall, Belle and her father wont to
New York, and the first day after her ar
rival found her sitting with her old friend
who, uftor the first effusive meeting was
past, sat down to empty her soul.
"I'm so glad you are bore this mouth,"
Jenny said, " I'm to be married in October,
aud I have always wanted to have you for a
2M-, IWTX
bridesmaid, and Dick is to l.e Harry's best
mail."
IScllc blushed.
"Hut Dick has fallen hopelessly, madly
in love !"
Hclle turned pale.
"Yes, I was sodieadfully provoked when
he passed through St. Louis and never went
near you. Hut ho went wild over some
lady he met on that fatal tiip.
"He will talk to me by hours of his An

has been positively rude, and nsked mo to

And your picture don't look anymore like

"Hut tell me." said Belle, "is your

"Kngagcd ! Why. dear heart, he don't
know her name, llo just found some of
herold clothes somewhere. lie's got her
old slippers under a glass case : he's got her

would wean him from it ; but not a bit. He
looks at my new things as calmly as an
oyster, and only said il's not kind of me
to repeat it though,'' broke oil' Jomy.
" What was it l,e said?" imptired Belle
laughing, now heartily. "Don't fear for
lny feelings."
Why," ho said, "I'll stand up wilh
your friend, Belle, and see you safely mai

I'm done with love on my ow tiaeeount.
positively awful.
And so Belle thought as she looked at
her old slipper and glovo lying beneath a
globe on cither side tlio faithful IJiehatd's
mantle.
"And," said Belle, since he desires only
to meet me on the morning of the wedding,
so it shall be. I will be iiitiod'teed only as
wo are leaving thu house, and he can do ss
ho pleases about continuing the acquain
tance afterward."
Belle was radiant with happiness when
she icltiiueil to her father, and delighted
his fond heart by the change, for Hellu had
been very quiet of laic.
Jenny and Hello shopped and talked and
visited logelher for thu next few days, and
when the eventful moili ng arrived, and
amid a bevy of beautiful girls, Hellu shone
like a queen, the bride was eclipsed, and
delight fully acknowlitlgu il.
" O, Hello !'' she said ; " I long to havo
old stoical Dick see you, Hark ! there's
his step, (,'ottio into ihu nuxt room now,
aud bu introduced. Don't wait until the
carriages come it's an hour yet."
And Belle, with a beating heart, swept
thiough thu door and stood even as Dick
first saw her, only, iu place of I he graytrav
eling dtess, a inagnilicent white satin fell iu
rich folds about her, and upon her lovely
white throat lay the tuniuois locket that
held Dick's golden curl. Upon the beauti
ful head, crowned by its chestnut hair, a
corona! of j.cails added to the grace and
beauty of an imago that shrined iu Dick's
heart, was already an angel.
Belle did not look up, but she felt the
presence, as Hiehard Matey came up and
was introduced to lilllu Jenny's old school
mate. Then, as he held out his hand she
raised her eyes, and laid her tiny palm In
his, and said :
"I think wo had better rectify that mis
take about the tiaeling-biigs.Mr. Maiey !"
"Good Heaven, Juuny !" said Dick M, tr
ey 1" " Why didn't you tell mo that your
friend Hello was my angel 'Angel of
Mercy?"
" Because, I didn't know till last night
and then Hello made me promise not to tell.
And besides you didn't wnn'l to meet the
fiecklcd school girl till it was positively
necessary," ret tu ned Jenny, mischievously.
It would bo hard to say w hich of tlio four
that made Jenny's biidal party was the
happiest that day.
Dick did not go to rails that winter. Ho
found that St. Louis contained more at
tractions than any foreign city.
Hut next fall will see Dick and Hello on
their wedding tour, and ho vows ho will
have the two old romantic traveling bags
brushed up for the occasion. Doctor Town
send, who is to go along, says he knew the
minute he saw that girl she would one day
be Angelica Marcy, folt it in the air."

ABOUT a year ago a man living near
Havana had a cow run over on a puh
lie crossing by a train belonging to IVoria
ifc Jacksonville Uaihon'. He tried to tualo
the company pay for his anitn il, but was in
formed that if his cow strayed on tlio truck
at a public, crossing, it was her own lookout
and the road was not liable. Day beforo
yesterday the same man appeared at tho
outceoi the l.eneral Superintendent, ia
Jekm, in a high slate of excitement.
" Where.s tho Supei inteiidciit ?" cried ho
in a voice like a mad bull. " I want to sea

road happened to be the only official pres
ent, ninl lie, alter explaining that the Su
perintendent was out, said that if ho (tlio
attorney,) could do anything for him it
should lie done. Whereupon the lr.it u in
dividual delivered himself as follows:
"About a year ago I lost a cow, got on n
public crossing, up conies a train, runs into
her, kills her. company wouldn't pay no

that the Superintendent of the road (smi.

he was marching up the street multeriinr to
