AN ACCOMMODATING Young MANA little in
cident, says the Hartford Courant, occurred
lately in one of the cars of the Hartford and
New Haven Railroad, which gave gratifying
proof of the Difference paid by young men to the
wishes of the ladies, and their readiness to sup
ply a want as soon as it becomes known. The
car in question nearly filled, as cars are apt
to be in this day of travel. Its floor near the
door was covered with tobacco juice-as, alas |!
floors apt to be in this day when the use of
the vile weed so much prevails. AT one of the
way stations well-dressed lady entered the car,
looking with unconcealed disgust at the pools of
yellow and Shiny juice on the floor, then raised
her dress slightly and picked her way across.
The only vacant sitting in the car was on seat
occupied in part by young man, who at once
made room for the lady by his side. AS soon as
she was seated, with look of relief, mingled
with one of solicitude, the lady asked her seat
mate: "Do you chew tobacco? 2" "No,
ma 'am,' was the reply, " but ! can get you
chaw, if you like" The look of disgust again
crept over the lady's face, while those sitting by
smiled audibly. fa.-,
