An Anxious Traveller.

A well known Brooklyn politician, noted for
his waggcry stopped the conductor of an Al
bany bound train which he was journeying last
winter, and innocently asked if the next sta
ton was Poughkeepsio :
"No," said the conductor ~...
On his next flre-collectiBg round the con-
ductor was again asked if the train was near
ing Poughkeepsie, to which he again replied
negatively. Again and again the same ques-
ton was asked by the anxious passenger, until
at last the man of checks replied, with somo
Irritation in bis tone:
No, sir; we are not yet near your stop
ping place. Pray trust to me, and | will let
you know when we shall get there"
The passengers thereupon relapsod into
silence, and the official, engrossed with other
duties, forgot his case until the train bad left
Poughkeepsie, about a mile to tie rear, when
rgcollecting himself, he hastily backed the cars
to the station, and rushing up to the trouble
some passenger, cried out
"This is Poughkeepsie. Hurry up and get
off, We are behind time"
"Oh, thank you deliberately drawlcd the
quandam questioper, but I'm going through.
Ny daughter cautioned me particularly TO take
a pill at Pougbkeepsie. That's all"
The pill was taken-and 50 was the joke
by the passengers.
