IFrotu . the N. Y. Nations/ thgasine.] - . "We shall bares moist night of it, sir," Aid the coachman "of the Emerald to a young man who shared the coach-box with him; "will you be kind enough to hat% the reins while I slip on any coat?"—"and a stormy night, too," be ad ded, when that operation was performed.— "Their was a flash! We shall AOOll be in the thick of it." "With all my heart,",said Arthur Sutherland; "I don't mind) little damp. Rut cannot you give the poor woman a place iuside? There are no inside passengers, I think." The words were kindly spoken, and the'"poor woman" looked thanks to the young man, who, for his part, seemed rather to enjoy the pelting rain, which succeeding a hot July day; was lay ing the dust of the -broad turnpike road, and stirring up a refreshing scent from the meadows and hedges which lined it. Our story is of the by-gone days; when rail roads, as traveling roads, were only beginning to be talked of, and were the standing joke of travellers, reviewers, and theoretical philoso phers. "Beautiful! grand!" exclaimed the young man, suddenly, before the driver bad time to re ply to his question; as a vivid flash - of forked lightning, followed by a loud peal of thunder mused the high-biad horses to plunge in thei; traces, and proved the coachman'e antiaipstiops to be correct and in course of speedy fulfillment. The same flesh and peal which startled the hor ses and excited the admiration of the young traveller, drew from the poor woman just behind a faint cry of alarm; and on turning his head, Arthur Saw that she was pale and trembling, and that the infant she earned was convulsively clasped to her bosom He saw, too"st the, slight summer cloak she wore, and the addition al shairl which she had drawn over her bonnet and swum' around her Palsy, were an insufficient protection fraiii the rain, which was now coming down in right earnest. "Surely you will let her get inside," he said compassionately; "poor thing! he and her child will be wet through in another five minutes." "We shall change horses directly," replied the coachmen; "and then I will see whai I can do; but our governors are very particular. If they .wers• to know of my doing such a thing, I should get a dressing, But on such a night as this is likely to be—" • The coach drew up to the inn door, even as the coachman was sp.a.king; and while the four 'panting, steaming home; were exchanged for a , team fresh from the stable, the young woman and bet infant were, much to their cam/14n, transferred from the outside to the inside pf the coach. The storm increased in its fury as the evening grew on. l'he lightning was fearfully brilliant and almost incessant, the thunder was terrific, and the rain poured down in torrents. The three or Awur outer parrengers;-twrappirts themselves up in comfortable waterproof coats- and cloaks, and pulling their hats over their eyes, silently Wondered when it would be over, only now and then expressing a fear, which secured not with out foundation, that the horses weed not stand it ulna longer, and that the off-leader, especial ly, would-bolt "before one could say Jack Rob inson." " But there was no such catastrophe; and an other sfte was accomplished. The thunder surto WO partially abated; but the rain still poured down heevily as the coachman threw "the ribbons" to the horsekeeper, and a pwaiter from the inn ventured, out upon the now muddy road to announce that the coach would remain there half an hour, and that a supper was on the table if the pa ssengers would please to alight. Glad to change his position, and, not unmind ful of the demands of a pailful and sharp ap petite, Arthur Sutherland had accepted the invi tation, and was entering the supper room, when a loud and angry altercation at the inn-door or , rested his attention and his steps. "Is she an inside passenger, I ask? that's all I want to know;" the voice was domineering and fierce. "No, sir; she is not;"--this was the coachman --"but she has et an infant, and is going' ell the way to Birmingham, and isn't over and above well clothed for do journey, night trav elling and all; and as there was'nt any one in side, and the storm came on, I thought there wasn't any harm—" The coachman was interrupted in his apology and explanation by a coarse oath, and a deeboi. tion that if he didn't mind what he *is about, th 4 ilimirald should noon have another driver, with an insinuation that there was some under standing between him and the woman about an extra fee, but that he (the angry speaker) would be' one too many for him (the accommodating easehman)this time. "There isn't anything df the sort," replied the coachman bluntly; "and here's a gentleman," pdinting to Arthur,. who hideout° forward a few "that can tell you so. He knows when an I put the woman inside." The young young gintleman, thus appealed to,: brief ly explained that at his earnest solicitation the poor woman was accommodated with as inside Oim when the storm came on. uShe would have been drenched to the akin by this time," he ad ded, "if she had retained her former seat on the top of the coach." "That doesn't signify," retorted the other, who was evidently one of the coach proprietors, upon whom the Emerald had lighted somewhat unex pectedly, and upon whose overbearing and defi ant address the outward costume of a gentleman at misfittingly, while his temper was probably ro hened by the light load of the Emerald that • t; "It doesn't signify; if the woman goes in , she must pay inside fare, that's all; and re turning to the coach door, be in a few words plac ed the alternative before the traveler.* *As **NNW way sessosably doubt whether say per. arre is such itinissuitasosa tumid red so brutally, the writer u s t o iv giat b vas 111. sk• tiosah-hip dna night, and iiintninW hi* Woe me behoisc dmiselhet %ad bre sires * aibd m ake' et lie Imilate $l. 50 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.

"I did not think of its being such a night when the coach started," the wawa said in a soft gen tle voice; "and in h zA l known it, I had noth ing warmer to put en; but I dare say 1• shall do very well," she added, resignedly; "at least, if it wasn't for the poor baby." And, wrapping this object 'Of her solicitude as warmly as she Otruld in her shawl, she was stepping from the coach, when the young man span interfered "It is'agreat shame," be raid, indignantly; "and I shouldn't have expeeted—" "I should like to know what business you have to interfere, sir," said the proprietor, hotly; "you bad hotter pay th e i ns ide fire for her yourself, if you this* so much about it." , "Very well, I will then,"-fterned the young man. "Please to keep v oi~t my good wo man, and I'll make it all right." -I couldn't think of it, sir," said she; but be fore she could (mine a remonstrance in suitable wools, the proprietor and her young champion had both disappeared; and while she was hesita sing what to do next, thecoacktrintnit in forward and infarausd her that slaiviittriteep her in side place the rest of the way. This settled thu matter. "Come, Mr. Sutherland," shouted a 'voice from ' the supper-room; 'you are going to help 11A, aro 't your - Here's some good stowage; but you must make haste about it; it will' soon be "Time's up, gentlemen." ':Thank you," replied Arthur," "but I am not going to take supper this evening." The extra fare had dipped deeply into a ruse not very well lined. If the "Ivor woman had known the penance to which her young champion doomed himself as the price his generosity, and how, in the drenching rain, which lasted all there minder of the journey, he was fain to content Isimlieff with munching and mumbling a dry bis cuitj just to amuse his internal economy with the hope of something better to follow, she would not, I think, have passed the night so comfortably as, in her ignorance, she did. But however thin might be, in'due time, or within half an hour of it, the Emerald drove up to the office of the "Hen and Chickens," where, in the early morning, pleasant-looking, manly young mechanic was, among others, waiting the arrival. A gleam of satisfaction passed over his countenance as, ho scrutinized the roof of the coach. "I am glad she. didn't come through such a night US this has been," he said to a fellow-work. man by his side, •She is delie-sto and timid, and wasn't well provided with cloaking, either; and the poor baby—" "Here Alex—," the voioo of his wife from the open coaob window stopped short the young man's colloquy; and he hastened to open the door. "Rim you, Edith! you here, I thought poi wouldn't have oome in such a weather, and I didn't think to look for you inside, anyhow." "o; I wanted to get hire so badly,' said the young traveller, putting her infant into its fa. ther';. arms; whereupon it began to kick sad crow "a good 'an," an he said afterwards; "and beside," she added, "it didn't seem like rain when we left London, or perhaps I might not have come." t "Well, lam glad you were able to get an in aide plaoe." "! shouldn't though," said Midi, "if it had not been for a young geutleman-- - ----" *ski she looked round to thank het friendsafresh, just in time to sae his, turn -the. cormor.OLNew street. "There.! l.atu vexed," she said; slid on her way home, like a dutiful wife ' she gave 'her husband a true and VIII a , c•nunt of her ineidenti_of travel from rho 13u11 and Month in London to l'he Mt* iu liirtoingham. '. A few wk. Als afterwards, one Sunday Morning, , us Arttur"Sutherlarid, with his mister; was walk : . iug toward ellurell, he passed a respectable young couple,in uue of whom he recognized the "poor ' wniunn," - his ~ travelling companion. it was plain that he, lot, was remembered, for in an other minute the mat hini turned and was at Arthalr'a elbow. "Excuse my" freedom, sir," he said; "but I wish to thank you for your kinduess to my Edith—my wife', I mean—that terrible night she. can* ((own from LOndon.r "Don't speak a word about it,' replied tihe youth; "I am glad that ll was able to give alit , tle assistance; hut it isert worth mentioning.' t hope your wife, didn't get any harm; for'sbe had some of the storm as it liras.' "Not the lent in the' World, sir, latit the might have got a good deal if she had come all the 'way outside of the. coach. She had been to London to see her friends, and hadn't more than enough left to. pay heft 'fare down. I think you was money out of pocket, sir, ! ' the man added, after a little hesitation; "and if you wouldn't be of fended at my offering to Pay back again---" "Not a word about it, ikiy good fellow; I could not think of it—" "Then. air, I must thsfik yo* for it, and hope to he able to return dip kindness some other wiry;" and the man rejoilited his young wife. "That's young Suthepand," he said. "llis father's a regular screw„" they say; but this one has got a good name, ttli far as he can do any thing. If the old gentleman had been on the coach that night instead of the young oa you might have been wet t gh fifty times before 1 4 he would have said awo for you, Edith. 7 "What new friend hate yon picked np now, Arthur?" asked his si when the thmt eonfer ern,* was ended; "tad tibia, is that about the coaoh? I guess now why you had to borrow of me the day after your jotu•ney; tomake up your book as you said!" "Well, never mind noir; Jassy; I'll tell you all abont it another day," Aid Arthur. -**a•s a * * • Years passed sway, aid Arthur Sutherland, I now a man in his own right, was again a travel ler from London to Birutinghani, but by a differ ent mode of conveyance.; It was on a dark after noon in winter that bel entered a second-class carriage at Huston Sqn*, and, wrapping around him a railway blanket, ind exchanging his hat for a far cap which he look from his pocket, he leaned back in a oasnftirtable corner, and, half closing his eyes, waited patiently th e: signal of starting. Arthur was in that hind of dreamy mood in which little note is Ulu* of surrounding object.. He bad that wane day banded in England, after a long and stormy voy a ge, and an absence from home of two or three years. Physically, he was well inclined to sleep through the five hours of monotonous dullness which were, for that time at AlAy rate, in wind up his jouncying experience; but, mentally, he was never more wakeful.— It might be sufficient to account for this, that images of home rose up before him, one after an other, as he drew near to it, and mingled rather distractingly with the reminiscences of his trav els in other hemispheres, and his calculations of profit and. lose which might accrue from it; for his had been a commercial enterprise. Bat there were other thoughts and images, which jos tled all the rest into a corner, and then combin ed with them to tantalize his body with the vain hope of needed and refre.hing oblivion in sleep. A partnership in his father's business was an im mediate prospect, and a home of his own, and a wife. Such a wife, too, as his would be: and so long as he had waited, and so hard as he bad atriven to overcome one obstacle after another which had arisen to postpone the union; if not absolutely to forbid it, bat which had been over woe at Last! Ni wonder that Arthur Sather had was in s'ilreassy mood, yet sleepless. So drool limited *who tist had seareely noticed, before the train started, two other tra vellers, who' were sharing with him the compart ment he had entered; and when he did perceive that he was not alone, the dun light from the oil lamp in the carriage roof told hint little more than that the person opposite to him was a'man of respectable exterior and middle age, and that by his side ems a stout something in a bear-skin coat, with bresth net free front a.strong suspi cion of ardent spirits, which made close contact anything but pleasant, and moreover with a voice rough, grating, and loud. Our friend had trav elled too fat and long to be very fastidious; but, nevertbelesa coming to a speedy conclusion that it would be more agreeable to himself to indulge in his Men particular reveries than-to bold com munion with his fellow-travellers, he settled him self more firmly in his corner, and started off his imagination ;afresh into the cloud-land of the hap py future. Niles anti_ miles the train sped along the iron read, and many stations were pissed. Mean while the dreamy traveller beesiie gradually aware that a east entatitna apputentiy of some interest to his companions, was passing between them; and, as his ears were not altogether closed against earthly sounds, he caught up in sensibly scene scraps of intelligence relating to events whkh, though common-place enough at that particilar time, bad to him a tope of novel ty. Re hichni for instance, of princely fortunes which bad item run up in an inconceivably short splice of tine in the railway share market; of the mad excitement which had attended the blowing up of the big bubble; of the tricks and schemes of knowing.tones in buying in and selfing out, in starting Whew.). schemes and making profitable merehandisii of human/oily; of the bursting of - the bubble at lest, and the ruin of hundreds, who, in mAking haste to be rich, had lost the substance thr the shadow, and pierced themselves through wi,th many sorrows; and of the distrust which recent disclosures had spread through ev ery counnekcial circle. "I don't like it--I" never did like thiarsort of wholesale gambling," said the gentleman in the opposite cover, «and they are scarcely to be pit ied who hive gut their fingers well bitten by putting them into the trap. Their families, to be sure, will have to suffer—that's the worst of it." "Ah, 11, Mr. Smith," retorted t h. , man with the loud v ice and bear-skin coat, who sat by Ar thur's side "I ain't say hut what there has been a good tie of knavery at' the bottous of it all; hut if peo tic will be cheated, let 'em, I say.— lint I shouldn't have thought of hearing you run down railroads, however." "I don't run down railroads," said the gentle man, in a quiet tone; "and I can only say that I ant thankful I have had so much to do with their ,practical working, z you know, as to leave me neither time nor inclination to play at pitch and teas upon them." "I say," said the Wearer of the bear-skin coat, in a confidential tone. nudging Arthur's side, to attract his attention, when the train way stop pling at a station at which their f tl iv t ra v,•;l,.r had for a minute or two alizl i tel—to, know that gent!" "No, sir," replied Arthur Sutheriand, resumed bear,- drawing a long Eunuch, “a lucky fellow Why, you mast have heard of, Smith—Alexan&r Smith—the great railroad man?" "Ne—Lisavan't," amid Artlasan.s4 { t ee t m ..,.,; abroad a good while, and here not b e e n a a n y i n England." "0, that accounts for it. You will hear about him th e n. Well, thit's he. Ten or a dozen years ago he was nothing but a Birmingham tuo , chamic; but some lucky hit he made about rail roads gave him a lift, and now they say he's worth no end of money. You should just go and look at his factory—that's all." "O'. said Arthur Sutherland; and at the same moment Mr. Alexander _Smith re:entered the. carriage"- "After all, Mr. Smith." said the bear-skinned traveler, resuming the conversation, "there is some excitement, though, in this gambling, as ~, you. call i4.

There was something in the tone the conver sation had. taken which arrested the young tray eller's attention. The street mentioned was that in whiekhis father's business was carried on; and he felt se curiosity to know which of his neigh bors wasimoken 4 as Mr. What's-his-name.— Meanwh e the conversation went on. ' "Perhaps you have got let in there, Mr. Smith?' "No, sir, not a penny." "0, Ineied you might," said bear-skin; "you said you were sorry." "Well sir, I suppose it is possible to be sorry, ra too, for these shocks that are given to commer cial confidence; it seems to be coming to that now that everybody will be suspected, and as much misehieffeill be done that way as has already been done in another. Besides, I am awry for Mr. Sutherland and his family—" Ina Moment Arthur wax effectually recalled f r om toU land of dreams; and before Mr. Smith could i• *h the sentence be had began, he was interrup by the voice of the hitherto silent traveler , "Excluie me, sir; but did you say that Mr. Sutherland—" Arthur stopped short there.

"But•not of — a that is, you do not mean th a t thee is a—, that there is anything wrong in Mr. Sutherland's affairs?"' "It is too well known by this time to be doubt ed.

The ! common report is that Mr. Sutherland has ruined I himself by railway transactions, and that he is involved to the amount I have stated." • "But not Mr. Bverard Sutherland?" said Ar thur, with increacing agitation, which all his ef fort: not subdue. "Son; other person of the same name, perhaps; not Mr. Emma Suth erland, of street? There mast be a mis take." Bat no: the reply he received precluded all l possibility of mistake; and thankful now for the' dull light of the railway lamp, the young l man, stunned and bewildered by the sudden and unex pected intelligence of his father's ruin, sank back again into his corner, his pleasant day-dreams all dispersed, and in their stead a confused and tangled web of gloomy foreboding... Shortly af terwards, the rough-coated man left the train, and Arthur became aware that he was undergo ing the anutinizing gaze of his only rem auung companina. Before he could Bergen h.imsalf from ------ this disagre e mbi s eum i nat i on, the silence was broken.

"I am Arthur Sutherland, certainly," replied the young man; "but you here the advantage of me, air. I have never before had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Smith, I believe." "Once before, sir, under different circumstan ces rather; but - •that is of no coneequenee now,— I have to apologize, very siacerely I assure you, for the pain I have unintentionallygiven. I was not at all aware who was my traveling companion when I spoke of—" "It is of no consequence, sir," said Arthur; "if what you say is true, I must have known it to night; and :view hears sooner or later makes nu differenee;" and he again relapsed into a Meow from which his fellow-traveler did not attempt to rouse him, until the shrill scream of the engine gave note that the end of the journey was reach ed. Then Mr. Sahli spoke again. "One word with you, Mr Sutherland," be said, respectfully; "I am afraid you will find meads iu a sad state; it seems strange to me that you knew nothing of this before; but, at all events, I have been thinking I may be of some little use to.you; and if so, here is my card, come and see me.~ •, Arthur wee ically took the offered card, and mut dan acknowledgment of thanks for the profe kindness; in a few minutes a car was conveying him and his luggage from the railway station to his father's house. • "Tell me, Jessy," were almost the first words he uttered, as his sister in tears of-mingled sor row and Ault:teas, welcomed his arrival, "is what 1 have heard this night true?" "Dear Arthur, you have heard nothing too sor rowful to be true. We are ruined!" "And our father—what of him, iessy?" She shook her bead mournfully.
