A Ieomautiep Iucidenty

A month or s1x-WeekS ago, says the
Sprimfefds Flinois) llolrauzs of May tasth, a
young LADY, charming, accomplished and
in every way attractiFes3 arrived in this
city on the noon train FROM quincy, She
was on her way, to bloomington to visit
some frieBds. 7 She repaired to the Chenery
House, there to wait tor the evening train
going Nerthu But she had selected an an
fortunate day for her1trip. Itlwas Satur+
Say. No train goes p9rth, that evening.
OF the fact, until the obliging host, in re-
ply to an INQUIRY as to when the, train left,
shsf was i"&naz ed -.protsStsa that she
must be in BIoomington on Sunday
that she could not y waste "a day
ia Sprinfeld But there was no hone
in the case; and With any thing, but quiet
disappointment and waited for the Sunday
night express. On Friday evening pre-
Hious, young merchant of Quincy, who
was on his way home from the East, missed
a Re6nneetioh some where IN Ohio. The re-
suit was that he did not reach home on
Saturday night as he. had expected but
arrived In this eiey Sunday morning. The
Sunday morning train lays over at Spring
field until Monday morning. DThe fner-
chahtwas Id hurry tolget home, but there
was n0thingi to do but to wait until the
next day. He took a room at the iChenery
House, Swallowed his breakfast in a, very,
bad hdfaer,, strolled out In town, returned
to the hotel and sauntered into the paflors.
The young lady above alluded to was
there, looking pretty in spite Of her sulki7g
ness. The two recognized each other as
being from the same city, though they

She longed to = be IN Quincy, and
started home loseYefaI DAYS earlier than
she had ifitended.a Coming to Spring
field on the afternoon train, she took
the nine, O'Clock train west. Meantime the
young merchant had found some, business
to draw him to Bloomington and started for
that place. AS the train ran into the sta
tion at Berlin, the down train was Standing
on, the side, track. ,(The night trains then
stopped at Berlin.) With her face pressed
against the car window, the young lady
watched the other train; with his window
raised he was smoking q cigar. The cars

face, to face, Both started both looked
strangely ill at ease. The trip to Bloom
ington on business was forgotten. The
young man changed cars, and started for
Quincy in the same seat with her. He
found difficulty in explaining this, and she
awkwardly replied to his question: az
