T. d f--tii From the Schenectady star.
On Conductor Kincarde's train, on
the New York Central last night, a lady
with vast circumferi nee of hoops oc-
cupied whole seat as the cars went
out of the city. Taking up tickets the
conductor evidently suspected some
thing when he came TO this lady, and
politely requested her to rise as he tho't
she was sitting on something which had
been left on the seat. She demurred,
and he insisted. She said she wouldn' I,
and he said she must, and finally she
did, and, not only that, but she step
ped out into the aisle, blushing tremen-
dously and insisting that "she didn't
know it," when, 10 and behold boun-
cling babe of the male persuasion, only
sixteen years old, was discovered curl
ed up on the floor! How the delight
full creature had got there was mystic
ry to her, of course-as muchso as was
the presence, to Joseph, of a chicken
in Joseph's hat. The lady was about
to anathematize the young gentleman
in the most approved manner of injur-
ed virtue, but he took the words out of
her mouth by pleading piteously, ,"Please
now, auntie, pay my fare" Auntie did.

lished letter, signed discharged So |
diers," asking its assistanes to procure
work. 1t says, "Ne have endeavored
ourselves to procure work, but in vain,
but we hope, with your assistance, we
will succeed, before we exhaust our lit
tie hard-earned savings, and meet the
trials of hard winter"
This is subject to which our atten-
ton has been called in this city, and we
presume that everywhere throughout
the North there are numerous instances
of the kind deserving of our sympathy
and our help. We know that in this
city clerkships, even in the military of
fees, are now filled by able-bodied
young men, who could do without them,
at salaries of q thousand and twelve
hundred dollars per annnm, who have
rendered no service TO their country
during the present war and whose claims
it is difficulty to understand, and who
yet are preferred to those who, having
served faithfully in the front till they
have been manned, are now back to their
friends, in need, and willing to work.
In many cases one of the clerkships
could be divided between two of these
returned soldiers, and make each com
Portable and useful, and both justice
and dictates of humanity demand that
they should received this employment.
We hope that those in control will see
to it that this class Of deserving men
are not allowed to suffer, while others,
far from indigence or dependence, arc
retained.

A Touch OF Nature.

a car full ofpassengers passed over
the western railroad in which n simple
but touching scene occurred, worthy
of record. One of the passengers was
woman carrying in her arms child,
who annoyed every one by its petu-
lance and crying. Mile after mile the
passengers bore the affection of its
noise which rather increased than di-
minished, until at last it became furious
and the passengers nearly so. There
were open complaints, and one man
shouted, "Take the child out!'' The
train stopped at station, and an old
gentleman arose and made the simple
statement that the father of the child
had died recently away from home;
that the mother had been on a visit to
her friends, and had died while on the
visit; that her dead body was on board
the train, and that the child was in the
arms of stranger to it. 1t was
enough. There was tear in nearly
every eye, and all were melted into pity
and patience. All selfishness was
lost in thinking of the desolation of the
little wanderer, who would have found
n warm welcome in hands that mo-
ment before, would almost have visited
it with blow,

A Good Reason for not Celebrating.

The question was asked Union man
on our streets: Why we did not have
a celebration of our great victory? The
answer was sensible and conclusive.
" Because" replied the snquired of "the
victory was so overwhelming, so much
greater than we dreamed of, that we
find it utterly impossible to get up jol-
LITIGATION that shall be adequate to the
OCCASION"
The truth is the Union men are as
embarrassed as was the fellow, who,
turning back from the top ofa long hill,
saw his entire load Of potatoes rafting
down the hill from the top to the bot
tom, and looked about for some one to
cypress his feelings for he could not do
justice to the subject.
And 5, it is; the magnitude of our
victory; the deliverance from danger
so terrible to contemplate the majesty
of the thunder tones of the peoples pat
riotism, SO dwarf expression that any
celebration we might get up, would be
but penny whistle toot responsive to
the trumpet's blast.-[Cleveland Her

Life's Autumn.

Like the leaf, life has its fading.
We speak and think oft with sadness,
just as we think of the autumn season.
But there should be no sadness ut the
autumn fading of a life that has done
well its work. five rejoice at the adj
vent of "A new life, if we welcome the
coming of new pilgrim to the uncer-
taint es of this worlds way, why should
there b. so much gloom when all these
uncertainties are past, and life at its
waning wears the glory OF a completed
task? Beautiful as is childhood in its
freshness and innocence, its beauty is
that Of untried life. 1t is the beauty
of promise, of spring, of the bud. A
holier and rarer beauty is the beauty
which the waning life of faith and du.
ty wears.
II is the beauty ofa thing completed;
and rs men come together to congratu-
late each other when some great work
has been achieved, and see in its con-
oluding nothing but gladness, so ought
we to feel when the setting sun fiings
back its beams upon life that has an
swered well life's purpose. When the
bud drops blighted, and the mildcw
blasts the early grain, aud there goes
all hope of the harvest, one may well
be sad; but when the ripened year
sinks amid garniturc of flowers and
leaves, why should we regret or mur-
merg And so a life that is ready and
waiting for tho swell done" of God
whose latest virtues and CHARITIES arc
its noblest, should be given back to
God In uncomplaining revercnc, re-
joicing that earthis capable of so much
goodness, and isPermitted such virtue.

cg-The following bit of " romance
in real life" we take from the Hudson
Gazette.
Died in Hudson, on the 18th of Oc-
tober, Anna Doyle, aged Is years.
There is something very interesting in
the history of the deceased. Her pa
rents lived near Clayton, in this town.
When she was years old her mother
died, after which she resided in the
famaly of Mr.. Fitzpatrick for some time.
Her father then took her to Monroe and
put her in convent, thinking that she
would there be cared for, but in this he
was mistaken, for in a short time the
convent became too full of children,
and Anna was cast out on the mercy
of pitiIess world. A poor French
family took her, and for while kept
her, but very poorly, when a young
man who noticed her often as she pas
ed ragged, lily provided for, took her
home where she was well cared FOR by
his mother and sister. This young
man saw that in those ragged and filthy
clothes there was precious soul and
a fine face to be saved. After Anna
had for some time been missing, her
sisters and friends enquired other father
what he had done with her, but he
would not tell Bat Mrs. r. Baker and
Mrs. Retan, her sisters, who live in this
place, made every effort they could to
find their lost sister. Mrs. Baker went
to Monroe and made enquiries at the
convent, suspccting her father had plac-
ed her here. She was told that An
ma was not there and that they knew
nothing about her. So they gave up all
hope of ever seeing Anna again. In
the meantime Anna inquired of the
Priest about her father sisters and broth
er, but was always told that her relatives
were dead. After some time the fam
ily Anna lived with moved to Hillsdale.
In few years the mother died, her
da. ghter got married and the family
was broken up. Anna being left with
out home, went out to work. She
worked in many places. While living
in the family Of Mr.. Van4Akin, she
told her story as well as she could re
member it Mr.. V repeated it in the
hearing ofWilliam Power, of this place,
who knew the family of Doyls and a
bout Annals disappearance. Mr.. v.
brought Anna to Hudson, when Mrs.
Baker recognized her as her long lost
sister. 1t was happy meeting, for she
had been lost to her sisters and friends
for IL or l3 years. But Anna was not
permitted to stay long with her rela-
tiyes and friends--=only little over a
year. She has passed from earth to the
bliss of heaven, rs we trust.

Some years since, there lived on the

Some years since, there lived on the
west side of Front street, Philadelphia,
n distinguished halter of the Society OF
Friends, but not then, in his youth, per.
fectly strict in the observances of the
social discipline of the sect. His shop
was one of the favoritc gossips for the
neighborhood. Among others, it was
not unfrequently visited by rather
harmless lunatic, who, nevertheless, was
much in the habit of disturbing Friends
meeting on Sunday, by insisting on
preaching there. Once the following
colloquy took place between the wor-
thy halter and the "man beside him-
self" 2 sgfal
"Well, now, Thomas, tell thee these
people that call themselves Quakers,
are not Quakers at all.-They are moth,
ing but Foxites, am the only Quaker
In existence"
"John, John, how canst thou say so?''
"Why, l am for peace, but Pve on
ly to 90 to the head of the gallery next
First Day, and say, ''Peace be among
ye," and they'll be for war directly"
"I'll lay thee beaver hat on that,
John"
"Done, and I'll do it."
And on the next Sunday morning,
sure enough, John marched with ma.
jestic step to the head of the gallery,
between the male and female preacher,
and called out in loud voice, Peace
be among ye!"
Immediately up rose venerable
member OF the sect and said:
"It would be well if some young
Friends would remove that person from
the meeting. He disturbs the solemni
ty Of the occasion"
This was a great triumph to John
and he shouted
"There, I told you they would be
for war directly!"
-Four young men, however, leaving
their seats, advanced A; upon which he
laid himself down upon his back and
defended himself with hands and feet
to the best of his ability. This did not
prevent them from seizing him by the
arms and legs. They bore him, by force
toward the door.-When he reached
the middle Of the aisle, he burst into 9
most obstrepeous fit of laughter.
Now, john" said the elder, again
rising, "how canst thou reconcile il
with thy conscience, thus to disturb Q
solemn and religious meeting?"
cha, ha, ha! no, ho, no replied the
lunatic'; :" was only thinking how
much more honored / am than my mas
ter was. He rode into Jerusalem OF
one ass, and I'm riding out on four"
1t is needless to say that the bearers
vanished. John sat out the meeting
and won the hat.

Hoax ON A MARRYING PARsoN AND
A POPULAR UNDEETAKER.-It was af-
ter 9'oclock when one Of our ministers
who, from his lively and genial dis
position, is fast earning the reputation
of the Marrying Parson--rcturned from
his Wednesday evening meeting, and
was handed a note by his wife, >signed
Chas. Nj. Ray, that requested him to
call at a certain house OH Fifth street,
to perform marriage ceremony. In
closed was the liberal fee of ten dollars.
Not to be behind time, the Parson hur-
ried off to No.-Fifth street. When
the door was opened, he found gay
assemblage of young folks, the gentler
sex preponderating. Announcing the
object Of his visit, he was surprised
that no one seemed to understand it;
and the girls gave him an inkling of
the fact that call from one of his pro-
fession was novelty to that crowd.
He was assured that there was te be
no marriage there, whercupon he beat
hasty retreat.
Thinking the figure 5 in 5th street
might be meant for 3, our parson hur-
ried offin that direction, but although
he was treated more oourteously at the
corresponding number in that street,
he found nobody disposed to be mar
ried. Being satisfied that he had been
hoaxcd, lie walked by No.-Fifth street
and while talking with couple of po-
licemen as to the character ofthc house,
his friend, popular undertaken, pass
ed him in solemn gait, with his cooling
board under his arm, and assistant by
his side. Turning around and cx-
changing his ''good evening"" the min
lister was astonished to see the under
taker stop at the same door where he
had met so strange reception. 81

the man Of death, ''to lay out the
corpse in this house." "Thcre is no
corpse here" said the servant; and he
needed no flu ther assurance than the
burst oflaughter from the giddy heads
within to satisfy him of the fact, and
he too, turned away to look for the oh,
jcct of his mission elsewhere, But the
irrepressihle "Hah! hahs" of our Jolly
parson called him back, and state.
ment of his own experience q. once
convinced the undertaken that the pro
posed marriage and death were alike

party. The serious part of the joke is,
that the parson found his ten-dollar bill

thing behind, the party walked about
ono huudred and twenty miled, and
slept on the snow at night, with corn
for diet. Many persons on the plains
have suffered much by tho severe

party had no difficulty with them.-St
