The Passenger for Palestine.

The following good story on q New
York Central Railroad conductor is told
by an exchange:
A stranger recently took train west
Oh the New York Central at Albany.
When the train arrived at West Albany
he hailed the conductor, and in a slut
tering voice inquired SIS th--this Pal
Pala-Palatine ?" NO" re plied the
gentlemanly conductor, "Tll inform
you when we arrive there" At Schen-
ectady the stranger made the same in
quiry and received a like answer. At
Amsterdam and Fonda he repeated his
inquiry, much to the discomfort of mind
of the conductor, who thought the man
ought to remember that he would be
informed of the fact when the train did
arrive at that station which the stranger
was so anxious to reach At last the
train again stopped, and the conductor,
desiring to accommodate the suffering
passenger took the pains to find him
and inform him that" this is Pala-
tine, sir; to which the stranger, slut.

sir. The Observation-Disclosures to-to-told

the trip and had observed the stranger

Said nv beautiful cousin, Lisette,
As we sat by the window alone,
But say, can you paint Coquette ?"

"Nay' nay 4" said the laughing Lisette.
"Now, none of your joking, but try.
And paint me thorough Coquette."
"Well, cousin" at once began,
In the ear of the eager Lisette,
"I'll paint you as we'll as | can,
That wonderful thing, Coquette."

And isn't deficient in grace,
Or else she were not Coquette."
And then, she is daintily made.

BY people experts in the trade,
OF forming proper Coquette."
"She s the winningest ways with the beaux.
e. Go on" said the winning Lisette),
But there isn't man of them knows
The mind of the tickle Coquette
"She knows how to weep and to sigh.
"a sigh from the tender Lisette),
But her weeping is all in my eye
Not that of the cunning Coquettel
I'm short, she's creature of art"

With merely the ghost of n heart
Enough for a thorough Coquette.
And yet could easily prove

Card Playing.

The Albany correspondent OF the
New York Sun. i'm a recent letter, says
The present universal game OF draw
poker was seldom heard of at Albany OF
Washington 25 or 30 years ago. Drag
was the fashionable play in those days.
1t was Henry Clay's great game, and
two of our old State Attorney Generals
George p. Barker and John Van
Buren-had great passion for It,
George p Barker was one OF the most
accomplished orators that Western New
York ever produced, and he played as
well as he spoke. John Van Burens
favorite expression, when he went pet,
ter, was Come in now, ana III

played the present Judge Peckham, OF
the Court of Appeals, game OF orag
for the nomination for the Attorney
Generalship in lS45, and beat him. On
the same night he laid out Edwin
Croswell, the famous editor of the Ar
gus.
The old Mansion House was famous
gathering place in its day for politicians
and canal contractors. John Vernam,
of Livingston, Gen. Clark, of Sandy Hill,
Gen. Durham, of Albany, Stephen
Clark, of Albany, John Rosecrans, OF
the Fish Aouse, Silas Wright, W. j.
McAlpine, Fred. Follett, of Genesee,
Parmelle, of Orleans, c. II. Hamilton,
Smith Burnham, Jacob Kinds, OF Mag
ara and a host more Of jovial fellows,
used to hold high revels at the old hos
telrv from 1910 to 1852. Night after
night they met to amuse themselves
with "the papers" and drink GIN cock
tails. Every one Of these men were
prominent in his locality, and as well
known throughout The State as old
Eouck or Billy Seward. BY the way,
speaking of Seward, did you ever
hear that joke that occurred between
him and the stage-driver over game OF
seven-up? That was the Governors
great game, and on this occasion he
achieved a great victory. He was on
his way by stage from Albany to Cherry
Valley, and occupied a seat on the box
with the driver, Dan Farley, the most
celebrated seven-up player in that sec
ton of the country. Somehow or other
the Governor and Dan got into CONVEX
sation about card-playing, which led his
Excellency to challenge Dan to game.
Dan, who was never without a pack,
prounced the papers, and while an
other passenger took the reins, he
and the Governor set to playing on
top of the stage. Dan lost every game,
and as he was putting away the cards he
said
Look here, my friend, what might
be your name p
The Governor hesitated, but finally
made himself known as Gov. Seward.
Dan cast look of derision at his con-
queror, and exclaimed:
Look a hear, you little cuss, you
can't fool me in this way. Thurlow
Weed is Governor of the State Of New
York, and you amt Thurlow Weed by
a id sight"
The Governor thought the JOKE was
such good one that he used to tell it
with great gusto.

Hand it to a young lady and request
her to tell you in which column or col

the figures at the top of the columns in
which her age is found, and you have
the great secret. Thus, suppose her age

to marry me as soon as ever we can be
published
"She for conscience sake! who do
you mean, for the widow has three girls
who have put on long dresses and taken
to doing up their hair"
"Why, mother, It's the widow her
self, though if I'd thought of it I'd
asked Miranda some questions but
tits too late now; the bargain is made,
and when once I have the widow and
her seven children here, nobody can
complain of my not having family. l
think l have been led to great useful
ness"
"To great foolishness, you'd better
say. How am to live with all hose
children running wild around here
and Solomon will be flirting with those
grown-up girls. Dear me; if your
father had only lived, and there'd been
some head here, you wouldn't have
tried me So"
"No, mother; l promise you about
the flirting. I'm going to do better
than that.''
The promise sounded little mystic
rious to Ephraim and his mother, but
the explanation came soon enough, for
Solomon was missing one day, as was
also the widow Slaters daughter, Mi
randa; and when they returned Solo
mon presented his wife to the family,
saying that shed given his word to
his mother that he wouldn't fiirt, and
he was bound to keep it, if it killed
him."
The last we heard about the widow
she was "tired about what relation
Solomon's children will be to Ephraim
and his wife. And though Ephraim
has been chosen deacon, yet with such
mixed up state of things at home, she
is of opinion that her trials have only
just begun.
