HAVING AN Eye TO THE MAIN CHANCE.
We were good deal amused the other day at
circumstance which occurred in one of The cars
Of the New York and Eiie Railroad II was
witnessed by friend whom no good thing ever
escapes, and who thus describes ii:
On seat two or three ''removes' from me.
sat a smart Yankee looking woman, with dash.
ing new silk gown, and new bonnet SET iaunliIv
upon her head; and beside her, looking out Of
the window, and every now and then thrusiing
out his head, sat man, with a somewhat foreign
air and manner
The woman watched him with every appear-
ance Of interest," aud at last said 10 him
''Do you see that handbil there, telling you
not TO put your arms and head out of the car
wlndows!"
The man made no reply, save to fix upon the
speaker pair OF pale, water blue eyes; and pres
emily out went his head again, and hall his body.
from the car window.
"Do you understand English" asked the wo-
man.
"Yaw!" was the reply.
"Then why don't you keep your head out Of
the Window"
There was no reply Of any kind to this appeal.
AT length he put out his head third time,
Just az the cars were passing a long wooden
bridge. The lady started back, and once more
"Do you understand EngIish'"
"Yaw- yaw"
"Thon why don't you keep your head out OF
the Window Want 10 be killed."
No response And fourth time he narrowly
escaped "collusion" with some passing object.
The woman could 'stand il" TO longer
"Why don't you keep your head out of The
windowi"N The next thing you know, your head
will be smashed into a jelly, and your brains
will be all over my new silk dress--lhat is, If
you've got any--and | don't much believe you
have.n
We had all mistaken the object Of the wo-
mans solictude, which at 6rst seemed 10 he n

ger; but when the true motive "leaked out +"
