A ToucH OF NATuRE.---Not many days ago the
writer was railway passenger on one OF the
Ohio lines, when the train stopped at country
station, and three young women were added to
the population of the car in which he sat. They
were evidently on excursion, which to them
possessed very great importance, and consequently
they were attired in their finest and most dashing
apparel. One of them wore dress cut low in the
neck-opera style. 1t did not start from the very
'edge of decorum '-as some wag said about the
dresses of the ladies at Saratogabut it left fairly
exposed nicely-turned shoulder and very grace,
ful neck
1t was very warm in the car, and a thin shawl
was allowed to drop from the fair ones shoulders,
and soon she became the observed of number
of young men who sat opposite her. For some
time she did not recognise their admiration, but
when she did, suddenly she seemed to recollect
that her shoulders were bare, blush mantled to
her cheeks, her eyes were cast on the floor,
and instinctively she drew her shawl closely
around her neck. Poor girl! she had probably
never before been away from home with bare
shoulders. Her eyes wandered no more about the
cars; it was very warm with even thin shawl
close around her neck but she resolutely kept 1t
tightly pinned resolved that she would not be the
subject of rude glances, bold staring or ndelicate
remarks.
When the cars had stopped, and the conductor
handed the country girls out upon the station
platform, an old gentleman who sat near us said
quietly:
ssThat was a touch ofnature mighty suggestive"
Nobody disputed him. Assuredly we did not.
We III venture that those bare shoulders were a
source of nervous restlessness to that modest girl
until her visit was over, and she got back again
to her fathers house.
