An Adventure in a RaIlwaY Carriage.

After had taken my seat one morning. al
Paddington in an empty carriage, | was 'ined.
Just as the train was moving otf, by strange
looking young man, with remarkably flowing
hair. He was, OF course, little hurried, but he
seemed besides 10 be so disturbed and wild, thai
| was quite slarined for fear of his not being
right in his mind, nor did his subsequent con-
duct at all reassure me. Our train was an ex
press, and he inquired eagerly, at once, which
was the first station whereat we were advertised
to stop. consulted my Byddshdw, and l fur
nished him with the required information. 1t
was Reading. The young man 10 'ked at his
watch. MADAM" said he, 81 have but haitian
hour between me and, it may be, ruin. Excuse,
therefore, my abruptness. You have, Ipsrceve,
pair of scissors in your workbag. Oblige me,
if YOU please, by cutting off all my hair" Sir
said |, "it is impossible" Madam" he urged,
and look of severe determination crossed his
features, II am desperate man. Beware how
YOU refuse me what ask Cut my hair off,
short close to the ropts-immediately and here
is newspaper to hold the ambrosial curls."
thought he was mad, of course, and believed
that it would be dangerous to thwart him, cut
off all his hair to the last lock- Now, Madam,
said he, unlocking small portmanteau, "you
will further oblige me by looking out of the win
dow, as am about to change my clothes" Ol
course looked out of the window for a very
considerable time, and when he observed, Mad
am, need no longer put you to any inconve
nience," did not recognize the young man in
the least.
Instead of his former gay costume, he was at
tired in black. and wore grey wig and silver
spectacles; he looked like a respectable divine
of the Church OF England, OF about 64 years o
age; to complete that character he held a vol
ume of sermons in his hand, which, they ap
peared so to absorb him-might have been his
own. ~ do not wish to threaten yon, young
Ilady.n he resumed, "and think, besides, that
can trust your kind face. Will you promise me
not To reveal this metamorphUsis until your jour
news end?" 81 will" said |, most certainly
AT Reading the guard and a person in plair
clothes looked into our carriage. "You have
the ticket my love-" said the young man bland
". and looking at me as though he were my ia
tLer. "Never mind, SIR We don't want them,
said the official. as he withdrew his companion
~ shall now leave you, Madam" observed my
fellow traveller, as soon as the coast was clear
"by your kind and courageous conduct you have
saved my life, and perhaps even your own" lr
another minute he was gone and The train wa.
in motion. Not till the next morning did learI
from the Times newspaper that the gentleman
ON whom had operated as hair cutter had com
mtted forgery to an enormous amount III Lon
don few hours before met him, and had heeT
tracked into an express train from Patdington

A short time since, highwsyman under
took to rob Major Jones. He met Jones in
piece of woods in Jersey. He asked Jones for
his pocket book. Jones refused to yield. High.
wayman then took Jones by the neck, and un-
dertook to choke him down. Jones made fight,
and kept it up for about half an hour At the
expiration Of that time Jones caved, and the
highweyman commenced rifiing his pockets.
The contents amounted to eighteen cents.

have little treasure,
More beautiful to me
Than aught of gold or silver,
Or brightest gems l see
'Tis rot costly jewel
In casket rich aud fine
Nor yet thing of value,
To other hearts than mine.
And still deem 1t priceless,
More precious fur than gold;
More beautiful and lovely, -
Than earthly gems all told.
'Tis not in iron Golfers
My treasures safe keep,
And though prize it highly,
l often DER it weep.
In closely folded paper
And laid away with care
Lies little sunny ringlet,
curl of golden hair.
With beauty once 1t shaden
A fair and lovely brow
And though long years have wasted
Methnks see it now.
How oft my fingers pressed it.
And twin'd it Ger and o'er,
All wet with tears of anguish
Such tears can flow no more
For the angels came and called him
To live with them above,
While my heart was all oeraowing
With mothers earliest love.
Then, o. how sad and lonely
Was everything to me-
His playthiugs all were gathered,
For those could not see;
We put away his cradle,
With his little cushioned chair;
And my heart, like them, was vacant,
For hope had withered there.
In the dark cold grave we laid him.
Where the weeping willows bow;
And of hlm this precious relic
Is all that's left me now
Is it strange that should love it,
And guard it well with carei
This little glossy rrnglet,
This curl of golden hair?

made him sit down. The General asked wbeth

fused admission to the house to his (the Gene
ral's) son. and the Lieutenant replied in the at
frlnative. The General then asked whether ht
dhe Lieutenan0 shared in the opinion OF his pa
rents in the matter, to which the Lieutenant re-
ped that his opinion had nothing to do witt
with the affair, but that as he was interrogatet
ON the subject he was bound to declare thai
his views ON the subjects, perfectly coincl
ded with those of his family. 'lf that is the
case.n said the General, you are an infamous
wretch, and you shall fight me to the death,
and then he retired The Lieutenant laid th'
affair before Council oI Honor of his regiment
who for three days made vain efforts to bring
about an amcable arrangement. General d'
Plehwe admitted the correctness otthe facts al
vanced by the Lieutenant, but refused to come
to any understanding with the Council OF Hon
