Romance ON the Rail.

A pretty little bit Of romance developed
itself in one of the State street cars on
Friday. Among the passengers was pale,
quiet little woman, plainly dressed and very
pretty withal. Presently one-legged SOL
dier labored into the car on his cruches,.-
The seats were crowded, and the soldier
had to stand. The young woman got up.
pulled the blue sleeve and pointed TO the
seat she had just vacated. For the first
time as he turned, she had full view of his
face, and neither of them paid any more
attention to the empty seat. They stared
at one another minute, and then, in spite
of the awkward motion of the car, embraced
and kissed each other with hysterical fervor.
At first the passengers were somewhat as
tonished at so public demonstration +,
but all Of them soon joined in congratula'
ting the delighted couple upon learning
that the two persons thus suddenly brought
together were man aud wife, long separa
ted by the vicissitudes of the war. The
soldier had been desperately wounded IL
Tennesses and taken prisoner. He was sup
posed to have been killed, and before h'
was restored to freedom and able to write
his wife, or widow, as she. supposed herself
removed to Chicago, and SO his letters nev
er reached her. The poor fellow as sool
as he cou.d travel, set out for home, with
desponding heart, to learn why his letter
had never been answered. He reached
Chicago on Friday, on his way thither
when the generous impulse of kind littl
woman to maimed soldier, brought he
back loving husband, and threw him int
the open arms of wife who had lon
mournea him as among that innumerabl
host who have laid down their lives for th
salvation of their country. II Chicago RI

The Editorial Treadmill.

The Home Journal thus describes the
editors burdens:
1T is one of the hardships of our profes.
sion that its working wheels-brains and
heart-are not allowed to lag for sickness,
or stop for calamity or sorrow. The Judge
may adjourn his court. the school and the
workshops may close shutters, the mourn
sr may veil his features. and turn friead
and stranger from the door; but the jour
nalists must forget before to morrow the sor-
rows Of to-day must write gaily and fresh
ly az a newsmonger, on the triie of the
hour, whatever burded has been laid upon
that same hour by Providence or his brains
as a man. 1t sometimes tries and mocks
as the world that reads what is thus written
would never dream of.
The public look upon an editor s labor'
as the Indian did upon the man that was
cutting hay. He finally gave in his opinion
that it was ''easy to see white man NOW. .
