A Smart Station Agent.

Some years ago, shortly after the intro
duction Of the Illinois Central road through
that portion Of Illinois known as Egypt,
an honest countryman, who had liyed some
forty years or thereabour in blissful igno,
rance of everything pertaining to the
"kers," was appointed station-agent al
C, one Of those little out-of- f-the-way
places where, as Dickens says, "no one
could by any possibility want to get off OF
on" On receiving his instructions he
wa, told, among other things, that, a:
C--was merely flag station" trains
would stop only when some one wished tC
get off or on; and that if he wanted to stor
any train he must flag" it.
Shortly after his appointment, accor-
dinghy, as the email" came laundering on
he placed the magic red flag in position
the signal to stop.
AS the car drew up to the station the
conductor jumped off on the platform with
his accustomed "All aboard 7" at the same
time asking if there were "any passengers
to get on?
"Wa'al, not as l knows Of" was the
puzzled agents reply.
"Then what did you stop the train for .
shouted the irate conductor
II didn't know but some one might wan
to get off! said the obliging "agent" in &
conscious tone Of in ured innocence.

A Washington correspondent ofthe New

upon the rumors touching the trial of J eff.

"But the opinion is gaining ground thai

arch conspirator for treason, under con.

To which the Richmond Dispatch ironi
cally replies "The poor un.orhisticatcd
gentlemen who framed that instrument had
narrowly escaped hanging, and they had
some commiseration, some bowels of com.
passion, for rebels They were not dispos,

penalties like those which they had escap.

The Admission of Southern Mem


Delegations representing Southern States
then at war with the Federal Government
were admitted into the Baltimore Repub-
lican Convention that nominated Lincoln
aud Joh nson for President and Vice Pres
dent of the United States. Thad. Stevens
was delegate from Pennsylvania, and op-
posed their admission upon the ground
that they had ceased to be States but the
convention, by large majority, overruled
hun, and received the delegates. At that
time the Southern Confederacy was in ac-
tive existence The United States exer,
csed no jurisdiction over a large portion
of its territory. But even this body, which
now dominates in the Rump Congress, re
cognized in the strongest manner the eX-
istencc of the Southern States, by allowing
their representatives to assist In the mons
ination of President and Vice President
of the United States. They even went
further, and took their Nice-President
from one of those States
Now, when the war is over; when the
Southern Confederacy is among the things
that we're when there is no resistance in
any part of the South to the laws of the
Federal Government; when all acquiescO
in its administration those States that had
representatives in times of commotiOn are
refused admission into Congress. upon the
miserable plea that they have ceased to
be States. Was there ever such subter-
fuge--such contemplate trifiing with the
common sense of the country? President
johnson is furiously as,aiIed because he
is striving to have the same States repre-
sented in Congress- that we're recognized
by the convention of the party that placed
him where he is-in the Presidential chair

On Tuesday night number Of guests
assembled on Sixteenth street to witness a
marriage ceremony. The wedding feast
was spread-the priest came with his cross
and prayer>book-the groomsmen assem-
bled in their white kids and paper shirt
colars-the bridesmaids were present with
their satin founces and gobular waterfalls
tho bride, blushing like Aurora, Eas ar
rayed in snowy robes, orange wreaths and
glittering jewels-the wedding ring was
ready, and every thing was prepared to
launch the young couple upon the IIy
meneal stream, amid rejoicings, flowers,
kisses, tears, tremors and congratulations
Only one thing was needed to make the
thing complete, and that vas the presence
of he bridegroom. Without him the
wedding would be like the play of Hamlet
with Hamlet left out. In fact, he was az
indispensable character, and without his
presence the whole affair must fall through
or prove failure. But. important as was
his presence. the appointed bridegroom
came no. Hours passed The prie.r
became disgusted, anu left The Uncle of
the bride grew red in the face, the grooms-
men looked sour, the bridesmaids languisk-
ed, aud the bride grew nervous and pals.
Still the laggard fingered. Midnight sp,
preached. The hoarse clarion Of the
ancient shanghai in the yard announced
the approach Of the 1--WE sma' hours" aud
still no bridegroom appeared. The supper
got cold, the uncle was in towering pas
sion, the bridesmaids wept, the groomsmen
went to bed
co nmittse vas sent to look after the
recusant lover, and after visiting the mar
bic drugstore and not finding him there,
they went to his room. and found him fast
asleep. He was aroused from his slum>
bers aud hurried off to the brides house
When he arrived there the guests were
gone. lie gave as an excuse that, feeling
unwell, he had taken 4 dose Of morphine,
AMI had oversight himself, but was now
willing to face the music and go through
the trying ordeal. BY this time the native
pride of the fair bride became aroused.
and the sleepy gentleman was informed
that the wedding was Indefinitely post
poned. The bridegroom returned to his
pestle and mortar. and the young lady re-
mains at home a fair ungathered flower.
1t was near approach to a wedding, but
