Night passengers will appreciate the follow
log admil able sketch of the Interior OF q car

of wheels we see the glimmer of a glowing
light. Brighter and broader it opens, like the
cyclopean nnwinking eye it is, the head light
OF the train. Then the steady jar, then the
mingled clank as ofa thousand shaken chains,
and the cars are here. "All aboard, and ''all
right" follow each other in rapid succession,
and we are breathing the close and heavy ali
of crowded dormitory, The car lamps have
gone out disgusted, the little wakefnineSs of
the sleepers has subsided and the dim snoring
outline of cloaks and shawls, and frightened
looking heads, 1ecked here and there, like a
troubled sea, with white compose the land
scape while over ALL like pendulums, swing
plethoric carpet bags slowly to and fro, and
little satchels brisk as mantle clocks, and bon
nets made of nothing, dance up and down
like blossoms in a rainfall timed TO the mo-
ton OF the train. But the dim gray turns 10
an old eyed white, and the breathing bundles
begin to stir; out OF an egg shaped package is
hatched a woman, with locks dishevelled, like
Venus from the sea. A throe or two, and a
rough form emerges from cloak and shawl
and shakes itself awake. A shap lass mass
turns out a man bearded Ikea pard. "A pain
of boots, thrust out like bowsprit, go out of
sight as the owner comes In view. One is
soothing an irritated hat with gentle touches
Of his elbow; another pulling at his wilted col

hasty touches of the hand, and crumpled
sleeves persuaded into shape. One lady had
learned her lesson from Grimalkin. and makes
her toilet precisely like cat. The cold, Gle ar
light'ot early morning is always trying to hu-
man beauty; there are no tints to be borrow
ed, no softening shades to be worn; a plain,
cold stare that looks one out of c0untenance,
But, In railroad train, the disorder is al
ways APPALLING. If a face ever looks faded it is
then; if the hair has any gray in it it is sure
to show; wrinkles are read, like a sign-board,
afar off. Ii there be dlseontent in the heart
