Rnmanee on a Railroad Train.

The traveller who has been so very fortu-
nate as to sit beside an unknown beauty III
a railway carriage, and had his converse
tiona powers brought into play by her splr-
i ef socialbility, can comprehend the bliss
of a good looking bachelor, whose Car adven-
ture we are about to relate. This worthy
gentleman was a passenger on the Central
Railroad on Monday last, aud happened to
be in the car that was pretty well stocked
with humanity. He had managed to retain
seat from the commencement OF the jour-
ney antil the train reached u stopping place
where a fresh supply OF passengers entered
it, when he gallently surrendered 1t to an
old lady, and made up his mind to stand
while.
Now it happened that young and stylish
looking lady noticed the act, and SO pleased
was she to see an old woman treated polite
ly, that she at once removed her carpet bag
from the end of the seat she occupied, and
invited the gentleman to take ITS place Moth
ing 10th, our hero accepted the nodestlnVlta-
ton. and was soon engaged in friendly
conversation with the uelle Of the tram.
They chatted in lively style until the shades
of night were failing fast" when the lady s
utterance grew slower, then indlstinct and
then altogether ceased for she was asleep.
Not being disposed to follow her example
| the gentleman amused himself by watching
| his fellow passengers, and was reminded OF
his companions presence by her head touch
| ing his shoulder. Morpheus had her com
peteIy i'll his folds and by series OF grace
| full mods she ANONYMOUSLY sought the sup
| port Of her railroad acquaintance. The bach
elor was delighted at the first, gentle touch,
/ but his pleasure, when, III the abandonment
of sleep, her form nestled down until Its
whole weight bore down entirely upon INN,
! battles description The better to support
his lovely burden, he placed his arm around
her waist, and then gave himself to the de-
lirium OF the moment
After passing the next station, gentle
man entered the car containing the persons
above referred to and commenced examining
the faces of each occupant, as though he was
in search Of some friend. In the darkness OF
the hour, he passed the sleeper and her
supporter without noticing them, and it was
only when he turned to retrace his steps that
the scene attracted his attention. In mo
ment the shade of anxiety on his features
was succeeded by q frown, and he stepped
quickly to the side Of the fair sleeper
AS his hand deScelueu Hc6Nlly upon '4"l
} shoulder, she started, opened her eyes,
aprang to her feet, ''bluShiug celestial rosy
red" Before the bachelor could speak, the
new conner politely informed him that ne
; could take care of his own wife, if he hao
no objections, and straightway led the lady
to another seat The explanation that en-.
sued unfoded the fact that the lady hac
been absent on a visit for some time, ano
} was then returning to the faithful husband
whose impotence led him to meet her hal
way. Eager to meet her, he had entered the
car only to find her in the arms OF a stran
ger! Of course the stranger told how i
happened; but the frown did not pass away
from the brow of the husband until atte
they had left the car. Ladies should be care
full how they fall asleep on the wrong yes
: pattern.
