BY AN OFFICER OF TIE L 5. A.

During the late Mexican war a lad OF
! sixteen, a daring young Nir2inian, leaped
fence and climbed Il parapct some hun
dred yards ahead Of his company, and
WAS taken prisoner; bat not before he
had killed three Mcxicans. and mortally
wounded Il Colonel. His mother, Il poor
widow, but, though poor, II lady, (and
why not p heard OF his fate, and as he
WAS an only son, her heart yearned for his
release. She wcpt at the thought, but
while the tears were streaming down her
checks, suddenly she recollectGd that she
was Il Masons widow Hope lighted up
her bosom at the thought-she dried her
tears and exclaimed:
q will 90 and test the ta!smanic
power of the order my husband loved and
revercd SO much"
She sold some articles of furniture, and
with the money reached the city of Wash
ingtun on foot
In her dusty attire she entered the de-
partment of the Secretary of War, and
with some difficulty obtained an Interview.
AS she entered the apartment in which he
was seated, and he saw how dusty she
appeared, "Well ma'am," WAS the salu-
tation he gave her !; but when she removed
her veil, and saw the visige of the lady
in her face; he hAi raised himself IN his
chair and pointed her to ii seat. She told
him Of her sons capture and wished to GO
to him

Mexico. Your SON will be released by

woe rolled down her cl.cck, - can you not
help me to Il passport.
''Of COURSE he replied, g that will
be granted to you at the Secretary OF the
States office, bot you are poor, how do
you expect to pay the expenses of such a
journey? 1t is a visionary scheme. Good
morning ma'am."
Sir" said the lady, "will you be SO
kind as to recommend me to the officer III
command of the regiment that will sail
from Baltimore in few days.
''ImpossbIe, ma'am, impossible" he
replied Then turning to the page, he
said who did you say was waiting tor
an audience! Tell them ! am at leisure,

more question to ask you before | leave

"Ihen, SIR she said, permit me to

could write a few lines to the Secretary of

her with a note to the Secretary, recon-

her most kindly, and gave her Il letter TO

to her husband its surroundings, and he
went out to look for it, but without sue

but however that might be, the first hu-

Mrs. PARTINGToN ON THE CARs.-On
the morning of the late accident on the
Cheshire road, lady of venerable aspect
appeared on the platform at Bellows
Falls, with the inevitable band-box and
bundle. She paced up and down the
platform in very happy frame of mind
beguiling herself in humming cradle
song, and to all appearance was at peace
with herself and the crest of mankind"
In due season Conductor Stone appeared
aud shouted "all aboard " The old lady
not needing his admonition. he inquired
her proposed destination. "Going to
Fitchburgh, SIR" was her reply. Well
Madam you had better get into those cars,
If you want to 60 to Fitohburgh,' said
the conductor 'What dosen't this
whole consarn go ?" "Not to-day Madam
you had better get into this car" Well
Mister jist carry this bundle; never
rid rod on the railroad in my life"
The old lady was escorted on board and
the train departed Not great while
afterwards the passenger train overlook

slowly up to it was about to give it aid
when down came another freight traiu
under full headway, in the rear. The
snow flew so that the Aag-mau was unob-

long into the rear end of the passenger
train. Several were instantly killed.
and others were groanilg from fright and
injury. The passengers almost instantly
rushed out of the cars and all was confu-
SION. The conductor, missing the old
lady, went in search of her; and on enter
ing the Car found her sitting alone-tLe
sole occupant with very placid express
sion upon her counteuance, notwithstand-
ing she had made complete somersault
over the seat in trout, and her band box
and bundle had gone unceremoniously
down the passage way. "Are you hurt ?
inquired the conductor Hurt why !"
