ENRAGRD PARENTs-A RAILROAD
TRAIN REsCUEs THE LOVERS.

Upon the arrival one day last week
OF Northern train on the Alabama
and Chattanooga Railroad at the
pretty Georgia station of Brandon
its passengers had their interest ex-
cited BY the appearance of an un-
wonted eommotion amongst the peo-
pie gathered on the platform and
around the depot. Loungers, villagers,
and trainmen, were all chattering to-
gethcr over some topic Of common
intelligence in style indicating the
liveliest feelings in regard to some
nnnsual matter, and the travellers in
quired the meaning Of it all. TheT
were they told that just before the
arrival OF their train young man and
a yonng woman, mounted upon foam
ing tIoroughbreds, had come gallop
ing up to the station at top-speed t
catch the cars there, followed by th'
fair ones father in full cry; and upoI
finding the train had not yet arrived
had swept wildly by on the road t,
the next station with their pursue
still hotly on track. It was plain tha
the young people were eloping, ant
unless they could reach the next sta
ton by the time the cars, did, and b
aboard and off before the elder ride
could come up with them, they wouI
surely be captured and taken back :

The Honeymoon.
BY HATTIE HATEFUL.

They say the first experiences of
married life are the sweetest, but 1
don't believe it.
The first year of married life is the
most trying, and the hardest OF all the
years between the cradle and the
grave.
To begin with, the days of conrt-
ship prepare the way for disappoint-
ments after marriage, from the simple
fact that both the bride aud the bride
groom elect have endeayored to hide
from each osher any and all little im.
perfections of character of which they
know themselves possessed, and after
marriage they throw of their former
restraint, and where each has thought
the other perfection, they have to dis
cover many defects, of which, before
marriage, they were entirely igno
rant.
The young wife, having been re
peatedly told by her lover that he1
every wish shall be gratlfied if sh'
will consent to become his happ,
wife, believes his VOWS and protesta
tions will hold good after marriage, al
| well as during the honeymoon.
Well is ir for her that she is un
aware of the mental reservation &c
companying all such promises, for sh'
is supremely happy while she beliere
Che man she, loves means to make he
domestic queen, and himself he
most loyal aud devoted subject.
They are totally ignorant of tn
fact that the very earliest assumption
OF such queenly rights and privilege
will be met with what the yonnl
! husband considers a proper display Q
| nlaniy strength of will and legitimat
authority. -
He means TO begin as be can hoi'
our. and she thinks it possible 10 liy

the fairy life Of loves happiness which
he has promised shall he hers if she
will but wed him.
Then there is the dissimilarity of
disposition aud habits to harmonic,
and it ia difficult to bring all this
about without some clashing Of tenn
per, if not Of words.
Then the lesson of mutual for
bearance must be learned, Tor how
ever perfect one may seem tor a sea-
son, upon intimate relation with the
best of mortals they will be found to
be subject to like peculiarities, and
the faults of human nature average
about the same the world over.
And with new cares, duties, and
responsibilities, neary all of which are
new and strange, the young couple do
very we'll indeed II they manage to
get along comfortably together during
the first year of married life, while
they are learning to assimilate their
two lives to flow on together into one
channel.
Therefore, young husbands and
wives who have found that honeymoon
year to be one of trial and vexations
be not discouraged, but look upon
each coming day as one nearer The
perfection OF your dream Of welded
happiness, meanwhile endeavoring con
stantly to exercise mutual forbearanc'
one toward the other, learning TO b
unselfish toward each other, in al
kindness forgetting self, and striving
to make each others lives all that tn,
fondest- dreams love pictured weddet
life to be. ss
1t is also folly. for either husband
or wife to expect perfection in th'
1 other, since none are perfect.
| And if the bride should find he
| husband to be q perfect individual
without fault or sin in him, what ha
she to offer in exchange for such pei
feetion and faultleseaess
| has she, therefore, any right to ex
pect her husband to be better thai
herself; or to be dissatisfied, becaus

DEFEATED.
BY MARY GRACE HALPINE.

Two persons stood beside the dying
bed of Gilbert Rothsay; one a man
somewhat past the prime Of life, the
other a girl in the first bloom of open
ing womanhood.
The eyes of the dying man roved
restless!y from one to the other.

But at such a, time as this all such

the speaker.
"Allie, come water, Allie"
The young girl left the room.
For few moments the old man lay
gasping upon the pillow F; he then said !:

Not muscle of Robert Rothsay's

disappointment that were busy at hi
heart.
"You may count on me, my dear I'm

After placing the cool goblet to hi
lips, she gave him sedative, and sool

her nights of slecpless wills, the hea'

tently upon her, but not in admiration
of her exceeding beauty; far differen

chase ON turnpike road running side
by side with the track. Instantly
every window in the cars was crowded
with heads, the platform swarmed
with wavers of hats and handker-
chiefs, and the whole travelling compa-
ny entered intensely into the spirit of
the exciteing scene, like any ancient
audience at knights and ladies at a
tournament. As they came up with
the pursuer and passed him, says the
Meridian Gazette, it was noticed that
he rode a large, very fine horse, much
more powerful and less jaded than
were the animals bearing the fugitives,
and its every leap under whip and
spur made the distance between them
less. Youth and maiden piled whips
also without stint, and kept a good
lead, but upon overtaking them In
turn the train passengers could see
By tie straightened necks and pant
ing sides that the good steeds could
not bear the pace much longer. The
| girls disheveled tresses streaIned back
| in the breeze like banner of golden
threads; the hatless youth encouraged
her and the horses with cheering
shouts, and the passengers cheereds
both in the heartiest possible way.
The locomotive was ganged to keep
alongside at first but presently the
! overtaxed animals of the lovers plain

figure of the pursuing sire grew
ominously. nearer. Then the excite
ment OF the travellers reached fever
heat; men shouted and swung hats,
| women screamed, and the engine
whistled-and all to no avail, for the
horses could do no more. A moment
it seemed that parental vengeance
must win the day and then, by a
happy inspiration, the passengers
roared for the train to stop and take
he fainting lovers, aboard. Down
with the brake 1t was In an instant |;
the cars were brought TO the quickest

to be.heard ordering surrender. Then

Mr.. Potter of New York tbouobt If all We

Mr.. Potter of New York thought it all very
well to have Senate with two Senators from
each State when there were thirteen States. but
it was all very i'll if Congress was to monopo-
lize as is the tendency, all theipowersbf the gov
eminent. The majority of the people of the
country were to-day in eight States, and were
represented by only sixteen members in a body
of seyenty-four members. The result was that
the legislation of the country was controlled by
the Republicans of small minority of the peo-
pie. The condition of things could not con-
tinue. Either they must go back to the SOW
ereignty OF the States or to popular represen-
tation in the Senate.
A vote was taken and the resolution adopted
yeas 1853, nays 8.
The House proceeded to the consideration of
the steamboat bill. There was a good deal of
scussion over the provision in regard to pilot
age.
Mr.. Kerr of Indiana offered a substitute for
the steamboat law of 1851 limiting liabilities of
shippers. Ordered to be printed.
The Speaker appointed Messrs. Ketchum,
Rusk and Holman a Committee of Conference
bill.
Without disposing of the steamboat bill the
House adjourned.
