MARX TwAIN's ADVENTURE WITH CAR
PEDDLARs.-And then there were the peddlars.
1 bought out the popcorn boy to get rid of him,
because was trying to compose poem for a
Young lady's album, and 1 did not want to be
disturbed. But he came right back with a
stock of peanuts. took few and hurried
him away, and he returned with some ice cream
candy / don't like ice cream candy and pea
nuts together, but I invested at once, because
an inspired rhyme had been borne to me, and
I wanted to get it down before it slipped my
mind. Then the scoundrcl came back to me
with tobacco and scgars, and afterwards with
oranges, imitation ivory baby whistles, fig paste
and apples; then he went away and was gone
for some time, and was encouraged to hope
the train had run over him. He was only
keeping his most malignant outrage to the last
He was getting his literature ready.
And from that time forward the degraded
youth did nothing but march from one car to
the other, and afflict the passengers with spec
linen copies of the vilest blood-and- thunder ro-
mances on EARTH "The Perjurer's DOOM"
and "The Desperado's Revenge" were some of
his mildest works, and on their backs were pic
lures of stabbing affrays and duels, and people
showing other people over precipices, and
wretched wood cuts of women being rescued
from terrible perils of all kind-and they are
always women who are SO criminally homely that
any right minded man would take placid sat-
isfaction in seeing them suffer sudden and vio-
lent death. But the peddlar boy peddled these
atrocious books right along for hours together,
and / gave up my poem at last, and devoted all
my energies to driving him away, and trying to
say things that would make him unhappy.

Leaving for paving freight. 81

Leaving for paying freight. tons
This shows an actual capacity for the mar
row-gauged freight engines of nearly three
fourths that of an engine of more than %
times its weight.
But we have supposed, in this case, that cars
on both gauges are always filled, which, unfor-
tunatey, is far from being the case. Statistics
show that on the standard gauges more than
four tons of dead or non-paying weight are an
nually carried over these roads to each ton of
paying freight In other words, the average
amount of freight carried in each car is but
one-fourth Of its capacity. Allowing that this
discrepancy may extend to the three-feet gauge
also, which, from the smaller size Of cars, can
scarcely be expected, and this is the result:
Three Feet Gauge.
Cars weigh tons and have capacity Of 5 tons
Then in load as above of...........".....9S2 tons
There will be weight of cars.............294 tons
Leaving weight of paying freight. t.......146 tons
Four-Esght and Half Gauge.
In load as above tons
Weight of ...6OO tons
Weight of freight. tons
or only four tons more than on the narrow
This then is the practical result of the mar
row-gauge theory, and from this follow natur-
ally all the principles of economy in construc-
tion and operation, cheap freights, large divi-
dends, its adaptability to other than mountain
Gus countries, the feasibility of doubling the
number of miles of our railway systems at no
more than former outlay, the easy development
of sparsely settled but valuable districts, and
all the long train of advantages which will
accrue to the stockholders of such paying roads
as we'll as to the people along their routes.

CONSOLATION.

And this Is oil The end Of life,
OF human care and love-
a narrow chamber rooted with clay,
And daisied turf above;
simple stone, a legend short,
name, date, an age
The old sad story writ once moro
On Natures open page.
This Is not all Tho grave but holds
The worn n.out pilgrim vest
Tho friend we love hath reached the home
Ut endless peace and rest.
That city has no necd of sun
TO gild its radiant air;
1t stan Is with glory wrapped around"
Jerusalem the fair.
Yet this is all lonely home
Whence light and love are fled,
And every room is filed with sad,
Dumb relies Of the dead
vacant hearth, an empty house,
Where names we call in vain
Are echoed weirdly 10 our ears,
Like sobbing breaths Of pain.
This is not all A work divine
Awaits our willing hands,
While, close beside us, helping all,
The dear Redecmcr stands.
Take up the t>il, endure the cross,
So shall the precious past
BE linked. through pleasant, peaceful hours,
To endless JOY at last.
Thou knowcst not all! Poor wounded one,
II is 80 hard to see,
Through clouds and msts and tcars Of earth
Gods perfect ways with thee.
Only ut last the mists shall clcnr
The binding tears shall full,
And, seeing rs ourselves arc seen, i,
We'll bless the Lord for all
s. s. Times.
