A STOEY TOE, THE TIMES.
'All lull, sir ! But I guess you'll manage
ta stand for the nest fifty miles !"
Mr. Smith, the spruce youn:j conductor
0:i the Ceutr.il R-iiI.iy cars, ushered in a
uW'pit,sliabbiIy attired old man, who lean
e.Ucarily on his staff, and carried a heavy
vaii-e in one hand.
The long dimly lighted car ni fall; eve
ry scat was occupied ; band boxes and car-pL-t-liags
were held in their owner's laps,and
tli-'te was n jt a single chance for the new
turner to be accommodated.
A couple of score of faces lifted them
selves to glance at the old man's face, as he
moved slowly and painfully down the nar
row i-lc It was painluliy evident that he
lial as much a- he could do to support him
self, aud besides, he looked like omj that
was just recovering from a severe illness
his check was thin and pale, and his eyes
lui-krd the fire which ought to sparkle be
u.u'.ii those Iartre and strongly mailed
brows.
There were tunny well, active looking,
hi alil.y looking young mcu in the car, but
Unicoi the numlier felt di :posed to renounce
Li v.fr, eoiiifortable scat to the shabby old
tiavilcr, and after a stare of undisguised
nntt-iiiir, each and all dropped their eyes
an l thoii.'ht no more of the suffering old
a n: lx for'1 them.
In this enlightened century, it is a noto
rious lact that the aged meet with slights,
aa 1 iuvivi'iiic. to say noiiiingof positive
imliiidiKs. which would have put the bar-l-sroiis
iia'i iiis of old to sli:iin

's" -a. in, the old gentleman sank into
va.ai,t t-at, with a well satisfied espies
t't coiintonatiee : but I'itz James ex-rc-M.i
Lis unbounded contempt for his
. 'or. by drawing his ample ra.clan

-lie of the (5ar. Xha stranger looked
him with rjuiet scorn,
i oa ue-d not trouble yourself to slip
" ii , i (iie B,i,J,,W) y0Ung man," said he in
v";i '- of irony.
I'nz James was thoroughly disgusted; he
f,!i:J uotcnJure such vulgar association.
' 0 rne quickly, and striding over his
''M'iJiioo, made his way iota iho smoking
car.
M;- inohester's sacrifice had been wit
1 --.-.J ,y aj la ,j)e carriage, and a. dozen
s a; were uifored her by a dozen polite and
i .i oj, young gentlemen, but she decliued
. "' a motion of the head, and stood
'iin; against the side of the vehicle.
The train flew onward the old gentleman
. anwhiie disposing himself for a couifort
iWe nap, which he was shortly enjoying.
Siue time before midnight the lights of
-ion gleamed through the darkness: an
hvr luomeut, the tiaiu thandeicd into the
'H-Jt.
Our old gentleman arose, shook himself,
grasped his valise, and came over to the
side of Miss Winchester.
"Madame," he said, "you have made an
old and feeble man's journey tolerable; will
you not tell hint your name and plaoe of
abode?"
She t lulled, wiaved all thanks, and gave
him her card. lie bowed and left her just
as I'itz James appeared to escort her from
(the cars; but getting through the crowd
was uo easy matter, for the fuss and bustle
were unusual, and Isabel noticed that sever
al uniformed companies filled the space in
front of the depot.
Cries of "Hurrah for General Sutherton! "
"Three cheers for the hero of Mexico !"rent
the air ; banners were trailed out on the
fresh night breeze ; flambeaux flashed,
drums beat, and a long line of carriages
filled up the street.
Fitz James inquired the occasion of all
this tumult, and learned that it was a pub
lic welcome extended by the cilizcuscf JJos
ton to General Sutherton, a gentleman and
veteran oifiner, who had distinguished him
self in the Mexican war.
''lie came on this train," said a bystand
er, "Is it possible, sir, that you did not dis
cover him? a sickly looking old man, dress
ed in thread bare grey and carrying a large
black valiese he has just recovereJ from a
severe attack of rheumatic fever, which has
troubled hi ji ever sincee his last campaign.
Those vile Mexican night vapors,and sleep
ing on the cold ground, undermined his
constitution, but he is a fine old fellow yet."
Miss Winchester thought lie must be;
.she had heard much of his gailant daring,
but Fit z James was the picture of sileut
mortification.
Miss Winchester and her cousin stopped
at the American House, and early the next
morning, before the lady had finished dress
it g, a servant brought a note bearing her
address.
Isabel tore it open, and there fell out two
cards of invitation to a ball to be held at
the Itevcre that evening, in honor of Gen.
Suthertotu
One card bore the name of Fitz James,
the other was directed to herself. She had
no acquaintance in Bjston, consequently
the invitation must have been sent at the
instance of (Jeneral Sutherton himself.
Fitz James surprised aud humiliated at
this mark of distinction, for tie could real
ize that the invitation had been extended to
him solely to tsave his cousins feelings.
Hut, notwithstanding this, he wished to ac
cept it, if only he could have an opportunity
til' excusing his yesterday's impoliteness to
the great aian.
The journey to Nahant was deferred one
day; and early that evening the cousins
were at the ltevere, where a biillant coterie
had already assembled.
General Sutherton, reclining in an arm
chair at the head of the great drawing room,
received his friends as they passed by, one
eiving place to another: but when Isabel
was presented, he detained her hand to say:
"i'leasesit down ou this ottoman at my
side; 1 have a relative here to whom I wish
to present you."
It was nut long crc a singularly ; hand
some young man came' up to the General,
smiling a friendly welcome, and the veteran,
turning to Isabel, said :
"Miss Winchester, allow me to present to
jou my son, Alfred Sutherton, who is very
grateful for the kindness which you last eve
ning bestowed upon his father."
The youug man bowed, and his father
continued :
''Whenever I see a young person volun
tarily render respect to the ged, lam con
strained to admire him or her, as a rule of
the good old politeness which reigned over
show and hcartlessness when I was a lad.
It is all hollow ceremony. now, my dear : and.
il the oi d nnn cannot stand without assist
ance, he is thrown down and trodden upon.
Uut there is a march, or my ears deceive
me: Alfred do you need a further hint, or
must your rheumatic old lather set you au
exempt ; ot courtesy ?"
The young man started and colored for ho
had teen gaziug so intently on the rare
beauty of M iss Winchester, that he had for
gotten time and place.
"It Miss Winchester will permit me," he
said, offering his arm ; and iu a moment af
ter they were lost in a throng of promctia
dcrs.
Mr. Sutherton sejtucd bent on showing
his gratitude to the lady for the kindness
she had rendered his father, for he had
scarcely quitted her side during the even
ing, aud at the etidot the week he followed
her to Nahant, where he continued for two
utoutbs, the vttenois of Fitz James, and the
enemy of all the young fops who aspired to
the hand and fortune of the beautiful Miss
Winchester.
Fitz James Eustace had long been his
cousin's suitor, and it was, with ill concealed
chagrin that he now saw himself thrown in
the shade by the son of that "wretched
specimen," who ought to have found a
place out ot all decent people's company.;
Karly in the New 1'ear there was a mar
riage ceremony performed in the old South
Church, and Alfred Sutherton was the
groom and Isabel Winchester the bride. An
elegant house on Beacon Street, received
the young couple, for Alfred is engaged in
business at Boston, and every year the hale
old General comes down from hjs house at
N to visit his children.
So you sec that politeness gained a bus-;
baud for one woman, and it will bring hap
piness to all if they will but practice it ; for
true politeness springs from the heart, and
is the cfTervesccn.se of a kindly Christian ;
spirit, anxious to promote the w;ll-bting of
all with whom it comes in contact. 1
THE TWO.
For the last time once-beloved, ere we are for
ever parted.
Let u: speak of things too sacred for a stran
ger's lips to tell ;
For the last time, calm and tearless, quiet-eyed
and stead j-hearted,
1 must wrap my strength about me, and say
tranquilly farewell.
You will look in vain for quivering lips, or lids
with tear drops swelling,
J can say it very calmly, for my struggle has
gone by ;
And the storm and strife and passion, all the
fierce and strange robellion.
And my soul is still aud quiet as the streets of
Pompeii.
I have called you once beloved, tor as such I ever
name you,
Though tue song asserts, nndoubtingly, that
was not love which west;
I, a lie, have found it falsehood worse than false-
hood, let it thame you
I have loved yon but affection never was so
vainly spent.
I would tremble at no suffering, would shrink
from oo affliction.
To ublearn the hit:er wisdom which your will
has made me kuow :
llnd I earned a Savior's privilege by bearing
CrociSlion,
1 bad wrought out your redemption from my
anguUu long ago.
Not as once I come to meet you not as once we
talk together.
Ere between our hearts had fallen the black
shade of this eclipse J
Xot as then I sit before you in our love's clear
summer weather, -On
your knee my forehead resting with your
hand against my 'i)S.
I have wandered, since we parted, to the cottage
by the river,
"Where we lived content and happy as the swal
lows in the eaves,
Gut the old tree by the doorway met me with a
mournful shiver '
Dropping down upon my forehead heavy tear
drops from its leaves.
Long I trod the grass grown pathway saw the
dew-drops fla.-h and quiver
Watched the shadows as I watched thcili in that
short and happy year
Heard the shut p click of the gate-lntch, which in
days gone by forerer,
Made tny listening heart beat faster with the
thought that you were near.
O, the house was very silent, and the rooms were
very lonely,
Shadows crouched in every corner crowding
out the pleatant sun ;
When with yearning cry I called yon, one deri
sive eho on'y
Mocked me with hungry quickness, mockeu the
r ; e'en as you have done. -, , .
Through ray window tangled vine-stems brokenly
the faint light slanted,
And the air was full of whisperings of vague
and re?iless ghosts ;
Cy sod thoughts and mocking memories my fa
vorite room was haunted,
And dead hopes, like walking corpses, gathered
there iu ghastly hosts.
Oh, vain love! oh. fruitless anguish '. oh, beloved,
mine uo longer!
There was none to cheor me, in that hour of
sorest need ;
While the long resisted anguish, growing wider,
fiercer, stronger ,
Overwhelmed my soul in its dark torments, like
a crushed aud broken reed.
Thus has passed my dream of wifehood, thus my
crown of life has crumbled,
Thus have drooped and died its roses, 'till the
thorns alone were left ;
Like a young bird in its singing, by an arrow
pierced and bumbled.
Fails into its nest-at nightfall, bleeding. dying
and bereft.
I had hoped that when the pale-lipped, silent
angel caine to claim me,
You would bold me on your bosom while I drew
my latest breath ;
I had hoped that eould I, dying, hear your dear
lips softly name me,
I should never know the meaning of the bit
terness ot death !
It is over we are parted, and to meet no more
horeafter ;
Isiui dead to you forever though no grass grows
o'er my breast;
But you never can forget her, iu your sorrow or
your laughter.
Who for one hort, sunny summer, was your
. deaiest and your best.
So farewell it had been better, had the joy-bells
of oht bridnl
Kinging out their gladsome music, tolled, In
stead, my funerall knell ;
Then my soul would lay in writhing, crushed be
neath a fal'en idol.
Saying Farewell ! ones beloved and forever
inoro Fauewull!

There is a blithesome maiden that lives
next door to me : her eyes as black as mid
night, and handsome as can be; her checks
are full of dimples,and red as any rose ; and
then, this love of mine, too, has got a llo
man no.se! I asked her if she'd have me,
(that was the other night,) and this was her
reply, friends: "Why, Jimmy, you are
tight !" Says I, "I know I have, love, a
board a little wine, but that is not the ques
tion will you, or not, be mine?" And
then she put her face, frieuds, -as near mine
as she could, and with the sweetest smile,
friends, said simply that she woold escort
me to the door it I was ready to depart.
And thus it was the girl next door decliued
my hand and heart, - - ;- '
"Mr. Timothy," said a young lady who
had been showing off her wit at the ex
panse o a dangler, "you remind me of . a
barometer, that is filled with nothing in the
upper Ftory." "Divine Almira," meekly
replied the adorer, "in thanking jou for
that compliment let me remind you that
you oceupy the upper story entirely. :
To the poor owe nothing."
Susail's Sister in the West.
Iwassittin' in my office, says the editor
of the El Paso Journal, speculatin' in my
own mind whether on the whole it wouldn't
be best for me to give myself away for the
benefit of my family, when there came a
knock at the door.
There, says T, some one anxioas to sub
scribe for the El Paso Journal, sa I uttered
in a loud tone of voice, "come in."
She was dressed in a pair of store boots
and an iron gray set of spectacles, and she
walked up to me with majesty in' her mein.
I knew who it was the minute I set my eyes
on her.
It was a woman.
I gracefully arose and said, "How are yon
maam, was you wantin to subscribe to the
El Paso Journal?" at the same time dipin
my pen in the ink andopenin my subscrip
tion book. This always giu 'em. It looks
like bizness.
It didn't git her. -
She fixed her glassy eyes on me and said :
"Young man, are yew au advocate for the
holy caws of woman's rights?"
"No, maam," said I, "I am a Presby
terian." "Air you," said she, "prepared to em
bark with usover the sea of equal suffrage?"
"Maam," said I, "I haint any objection
to takin a quiet sail with you, provided the
boat ain't leaky and you'll do the rowin'."
A smile perused her features for a mo
ment, and then she said, "I am willing to
suffer for the caws."
"Yes," said I, in a polite and softeniu'
manner, "It'll only cost two dollars, and
we'll seud it to your address for an entire
year."
"Ilev you a wife?" she asked.
' I her;" said I wonderin' what she was
coniin' at. "So that yon see I couldn't
marry you ef I wanted to ever so much." I
threw this in as a soother.
"Air you wl!!in' that she should share
with you the trials aiid burdens of life?"
"I ain't noways perticular," said I, "and
I'll let her shoulder the whole of 'em cf the
has a hankerin' that way."
"Wood you consent that she should go to
the poles?" Kridshc.
"She can go where she pleases," said I,
"she ginnerly duz."
"Yew air a hole souled man," said she
and throwiu' her arms around my neck laft
wildly.
"Git out," said I, "what are you up to?
I aiu't oIhj of -tbeiu men. Stop.-"-. -
After much labor I succeeded in unloos
ening her hold and set her down in a chair.
I judged from tier conduct that she stood in
need of a few moral observations.
'Yoo air an impulsive femail," said I.
"Yoor nature is at once spontaneous aud
out brcakin'. You need a pair of tuartin
gails. Consider what would be your state
efa man's wife was to catch yoo a Luggiu'
of himiin this style."
She wiped her face with her dress. She
had on a dross. I forgot to mention this
fact in speaking of her spectacles.
"I am a worker in the caws of Woman's
llights."
"Yes," said I, "yoo air. Yoo ought to
be ashamed of yourself. I should judge yoo
was one of them lobby women that the Chi
cago Tribune . correspondent tells of. But
you can't come your nefarious arts over me.
I'm sealed against 'em."
"I should be pleased," she said, "to go
arm in arm with you to the poles."
"Xo you don't." said I, in alarm ; "not
ef I have anything to say in the matter. I
won't go with yoo not a single darned
pole." .
"Young man," said she, "hast thou any
children?"
"I hev," said I, "seven of 'em. Can
yoo show as good a record ?"
. "Wood yoo," said she, "hev your girls
grow up, aud bo married to base, sordid men
who would take away their political rites
and allow "em no franchise?"
"Darn the franchises," says I, in a rage,
"they arc the things that women put on be
hind to give 'em the Grecian bend. If my
daughters ever go to wearin' 'em " ' ;
"Xo, no.V said she they are panniers."
"Well," said I, "panniers or franchiics,
or whatever you call 'em, I am opposed to
'cm. They are ontiatural and humpty.
They degrade the hnnian form into the
likcucss of a camel, and bring lovely woman
down on all fours like a cat." .
"Then," said she, "come with uie, and
we will emancipate woman from.the slavery
of dress." - - 1 . ;,
"No," said I, with severity, "I ltev no
wish to take the clothes from any woman.
Winnr.cn without close wood be a sad spec
tadle, particularly in winter, when thebow
lin' blasts prevail. Who are you, any way?"
I asked uiy visitor.
"I aat a pilgrim," she said, "I belong to
the "Agitator,' a noospapcr devoted to the
caws of female suffrage in Chicago." . .
"Well," said I candy, "the wininien in
Chicago need somcthiu of this sort,' where
them. that air.ruairied never no on goio' to
bed at n i to but that on wakin' up in the
morciu' they may be divorced, and them
that ain't married spend their time in bet
tin how many times they can be married
and divorced in a month. The wiminen of
Chicago need agitation powerfully. Heep
astirrm' of 'em up, if you please. The
more you agitate, the better for"emr"J'
. With these words I arose, and tellin her
to sit still until uiy return, I stole softly
down stairt. What will be the effect of
leavin' a female agitator sittin' in wy seat
the whole of this time I no not, but ef she
waits until I go back Ler patience will be of

Some years ago the worthy citizens of the
town of F in the State df Maine, voted
in their natural wisdom to purebftse a fire
engine. Thereupon an order was transmit
ed to Boston for one of. Hunnemac's crack
tubs, and a company was formed to take
charge ot it upon iu reception. Uut the
most difficult matter in relation to the affair
was to select a proper foreman.. ' However,
after mature deliberation, their choice was
fixed upon 'Squire iV a wdrthy ex -representative
and trader of the town, who had
seen the murchutes in operation on one or
two occasions during a trasient visit to Bos
ton. ' In due course of time the chairman of
the Board of Selectmen received a bill of
lading of the engine, aud a few daj s after,
rumor announced to the company that the
sloop Susan Jane was coming up the river
with the tub on board.
The b'hoys dropped their hoes, scythes,
and pitchforks, and started for the landing.
As soon as the sloop touched the wharf,
they took possession of the tub, and snaked
her unto the wharf. After various conjec
tures upon the mode of opcratiou of the frit
ter, they attached the suction hose iri Order'
"to see her squirt."
At this moment the chairman of the Board
of Selectmen approached, and in a tone of
authority told the boys that machine cost
too much money to be played with, and
that "they'd better onship that leather pipe
before the foreman came, or he would raise
Ned with 'em."
By this time the worthy foreman (who
upon the first intimation of the arrival of
the engine, had gone home and donned his
ruffled shirt and representative suit) arrived
to assume the active duties of his office.
"Fall in, boys," he exclaimed, "man the
tope, two and two. I'm foreman, and I'll
go ahead. Now then forward march I"
Aud off they started up the hill, down
Ragged Lane, over the bridge, up to the
Sleepy Hollow, around Dogtown Corner,
across Ten Shares, and through every high
way and byway of the town, until their
weary legs and-the setting sun admonished
them that it was time to tie up.
That was a great day for the town and the
foreman; and for an hour after tea he sat
and expiated to his wife upon the responsi
bilities of his station. At length he retired
and was soon locked in the arms of Mor
pheus, vhiie his worthy spouse lay wide
awake, wondering when her valiant lord
would have an opportunity to distinguish
himself. - . 1 - -
Her reflections, however, were soon dis
turbed by a bright light glaring into her
chamber windows. Could it be possible.
There was there must bo a (ire some
where 1
"Husband ! husband !" she said, "there
is a fire !'
' "Wake her up !" shouted the new fore
man, half waking.
"There's a fire, I tell you," said she.
"Poh, let it burn!"
"There's a fire, and I'm going to get up
and see where it is."
"Pshaw, you fool! you will catch your
death of cold!"
"But I tell you there is a fire scooting up
like biases?"
"They're only burning brush at Sleepy
Hollow.
"No it's the other way."
"Well, I 'spose it is Captain True's brick
kiln."
"Why, good Lord, it is Deacon Uutmau's
house up to Four Corners ! It's all of a
light blaze!" . : .
"Well, gt into bed, you fool, and let it
burn ! Thank the Lord our m ic engine ii
no uJiere neat it ' . ..
A most remarkable case of conformity to
hotel rules at some personal inconvenience,
is rclatod by the Cleveland Plaindealcr: A
guest at one of our hotels the other even

tenderly embracing the chambermaid. The
landlord robnked him some what angrily and
wanted to know the reasou of sush conduct.
"Simply obeying the rules of the house,"
said the guest, pointing to a card tacked to
the room door. "Don't" it read, any neg
lect of servants should be reported at the
office 'i. I don't want, to be reported at the
office for ncelcct of servants.'do I ?"

for bread. : The Doctor approached the

And then turning to a young woman, he in
