"What DO you meanW said Eunlce.
"Ob, | see you have never heard the story, sc
I will tell you. Two years ago spent fe"
weeks with my friends the Wilmots, near the
city of A.. In the family were two young
ladies who found it necessary to do great deal
of shopping, and not little visiting in the city
and of course patronized the railroad connecting
their little village with the Green Street Depot,
to no trifling extent.
msNow YOU shall see what handsome and
! .,entlemaniy conductor we have on this route,
said Bell Wilmot to me, as | took luxurious
cnsbion in q crowded car for first 'mlscellane-
"sHe is my beau ideal of q CONDUCTOR added
Kate. let the car be ever so crowded. he is sure
to find place for ladies, and never objects to
our hand-boxes and carpet bags, as many i'll
uatured fellows, dressed in little briet authorl'
ty are apt to do; and if purses are short, al

rhapsody was interrupted by the starting OF the
| train.
"We were whirled on to A. in about
twenty minutes, yet had opportunity to notice
that the labeled official ,cas indisputably very
considerate and attentive, at all events to ON
marty He opened the window which was
swollen by damp weather, at look from Kate
and ordered Dutchman, smoking meekly upon
the platform into the baggage car, at a symptom
Of falntness from Bell. could not but acknowl.
edge that Fanny Fern should add to her list Of
models model conductor taking this one fol
her original.
"Arrived at our destination, l was again en-
tertained with my friends praises of the various
merchants and milliners they were accustomed
to patronize. .r w..uo-,. .ho,
are so conscientious, and never try to palm Oh
an inferior article upon O customer. AT Mrs.
Lasalle's YOU will find superb assortment OF
gloves and embroideries. The proprietress is a
reduced French Countess, and one of the most
la like persons you ever saw, ratified Bell VIII
mot.
{. 'And if you wish to buy shoes, be sure and
call at Marvin's; they are so accommodating
they ne yer make wry faces, if you happen to
break tring, or lose clasp, or any other such
triaing &C, :ident,' added Kate.
ssT6is was enough, yet if needed more to
convince me of the superior excellence OF these
aristocratic sbop-keepers, that afternoons ooser,
yation would have furnished 1t. NO sooner dld
the rich broca, les and grapes and ribbons OF the
fair Misses Will not tlutter inside the door, than
every attendant, from proprietor TO errano ooy'
proceeded to don their most oDsequious slniies
and agreeable deloortment. 1t was not strange,
Eunice. The yo,ang ladies' carried heavy purses,
and were easily persuaded to tighten them.
"The afternoon passed pleasantly aud fatiguing-
" enough, in chatting and shopping, in shaking
hands with old acquaiptances, and trying to bow
gracefully to new intro, luctions, and on our re
turn. amid many expressions of satisfaction as
our purchases were unrolled and exhibited be-
fore Mrs Wilmot and Aunt Lucy, the girls
forced me to confess that the A---merchants
and the A. and o. conductor far
surpassed any other in the known world.
"And so it was, always daily for the first fort
night of my stay At one time we called on q
celebrated dentist for some tritiing tooth opera
t;on He was an acquaintance OF Bells, and she
presented him to me as a friend. he was very
handsome and his voice and smile captivating to
one who could appreciate music and sunshine.
Eunice. was amazingly pleased with that man,
I who am SO fsstidious, tancied hun the I'M
,,orsonot;on of skill and benevolence-the head
aand the beart-the means and the end-glorious
sn,nb;nst;on for those who set themselves up as
tha worlds h callers and teachers. He impressed
me as one of the few to whom science may safe
" commit her priceless treasures, sure that they
would be used for the blessing of humanity.
All. Eunice had only seen the silken side J"
"Pray 90 on" said Eunice.
