The Conductor Ahead.

A Cincinnati car conductor tells the
following story:
cone day last week." said he, "there
came on board of the cars from one of
the up-country stations, a very pretty,
genteel young lady, on her way to this
city. She was alone so I waited upon
her to q good seat, and made her as
comfortable as possible. It was few
minutes before the starting hour, and
she was so agreeable and SO talkative,
that fingered, and we had pleasant
chat
Afterwards, when collecting the tick
cts, she detained me again an instant
and gave me some fine peaches, which
she said came from her friends orchard
in the country ; and, really, I began to
think that had not had so charming a
passenger for many day.
Well, we arrived at the depot; and
then I attended her to the carriage,
handedher up her carpet-bag and after
all, what do you think she said ?"
All thought, of course, that the young
lady would say very politely, "Thank
you, sir'-smile like a CLEAN of sun
shine-the carriage roll off-and John
Van Dusen, the gentlemanly conductor,
would bow an adieu, and with sigh
turn away and forget the matter.
"No," said the conductor, "she did
no such thing; but, just as her foot
was on the step, she turned, and with a
sort of look I can't describe, observed
"You must consider this, sir, merely
car acquaintance. You must not ex-
pect to be recognized if we meet any
where else |"
John drew long breath.
"What did you say?"
"Why, I thought this rather uncivil,
to say the least SO I replied very
quickly: t...
Certainly not, madame. I was just
going to remark that you,must not feel
sighted if unnoticed by me anywhere,
except on the cars for really, we con,
ductors have to be careful about our
acquaintance -
''And the lady?"
"She looked quite silly, and she
drove off" replied John.

A DanburY Funeral.

The day Mr.. Ruby across the way was
to be buried, Mrs. Moriaty told her
daughter Clarinda that she guessed she
would attend, as she wasn't feeling very
well, and a ride would do her good
She knew there would be several COW
cred carriages furnished at the expense
of the family, and she was equally con-
fident i could be so managed that she
would occupy portion of one of them.
She was among the first at the house,
and occupied prominent position. As
the other friends arrived she took oc-
casion to recall "reminiscences of the
late Ruby that brought tears to their
eyes, and when the services were over,
as the first coach drove up for its load,
the distress of Mrs. Moriaty at the
death of Mr.. Ruby was so marked as
to excite the liveliest sympathy. Then
the second coach came up. Mrs. Mo-
riaty had got down to the gate by this
time, and as the door of the second
coach was opened, and call made for
the occupants, it seemed extremely
doubtful if she could hold up another
instant. She leaned against the post,
and stared into the coach, and over its
rich upholstering, and said the late Ru-
by seemed more like a son to her than a
neighbor. Whereupon the usher
looked appropriately sad, and called up
the third and last coach. This had yell
low cushions and pink straps, and Mrs.
Moriaty didn't hesitate to protest that
in the death of Mr.. Ruby the commu-
nifty had met loss it was not possible
to recover from, and that she would fol
low him to his last resting g-place if she
had to do it on her knees, and would
feel grateful for the opportunity. Then
the third and last coach filled and drove
off to take its place in the line, and
Mrs. Moriaty dried her tears, choked
back the sorrow of her heart with one
mighty gulp, and strobe into her own
house, shutting the front door without
the aid of the knob. She told Clarinda
that it was the scaliest affair she ever
went to, and had it not been for the
body there would have been no funeral
at all.

A Marked Difference.

Meet fellow when the thermometer
is up among the nineties, and you see
him mopping the sweat from his face,
digging the dust from his eyes, his pa
per collar wilted, his linen coat streaked
with sweat, and he exclaims "H Hot
Why I never saw such weather" He
tells you how the rubber in his suspen-
ders has melted and run together; how
he could wiring pints of water from his
clothing; how he has lost five pounds
of flesh in ten days; how the sun has
crisped his boots and ruined his eye
sight, and he starts off with the remark
"Never saw anything like it. Now
meet lady, and what do you see?
Clean white dress, dainty collar, jaunty
tie, hair nicely combed, eyes bright and
smiling, no dust-everything as tidy
and orderly as if the weather was Octo-
ber.
She doesn't hurry a bit, stops now
and then right in the sun, cuts the air
with her parasol as if she had no use
for it, and always manages just to es-
cape the furious cloud of dust coming
up or down the street. There are no
inquiries about the state of the ther-
mometer, no longing looks at soda wa
ter signs and ice wagons, and no ap-
plications of the handkerchief. She
does not hurry, does not dash for the
shade of six-foot awning, and hang
to the spot, waiting for cloud to pass
over the sun, and when she takes car
it seems to matter little whether all the
windows are up, or whether they are
down. How on earth do they manage

The Old Canoe.

Where the rocks are gray and the shore is
steep,
And the waters below look dark and deep;
Where the rugged pine, in its lonely pride,
Leans gloomily over the murky tide o.
Where the reeds and rushes are long and
rank,
And the weeds grow thick on the winding
bank;
Where the shadow is heavy the whole day
through,
There lies at its moorings the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like a sea-bird's wings that the storm has
Topped;
And crossed on the railing, one DER one,
Like the folded hands when the work is done;
While busily back and forth between So
The spider stretches his silvery screen,
And the solemn owl, with his dull too-too"
Settles down on the side of the old canoe.
The stern half sunk in the Shiny wave,
Rots slowly away in its living grave,
And the green moss creeps DER its dull decay,
Hiding its mouldering dust away,
Like the hand that plants DER the tomb a
flower,
Or the ivy that mantles the falling tower;
While many a blossom of loveliest hue
Springs up DER the stern of the old canoe.
The currentless waters are dead and still
But the light wind plays with the boat at will.
And lakily out and in again
1t floats the length of the rusty chain, H.
Like the weary march of the hands of time,
That meet and part at the noontide chime,
And the shore is kissed at each turning anew,
BY the dripping bow of the old canoe.
Oh, many time, with careless hand,
I have pushed it away from the pebbly strand,
And padded it down where the stream runs
quick,
Where the whirls are wild and the eddies are
thick,
And laughed as 1 leaned DER the rocking side,
And looked below in the broken tide,
To see that the faces and boats were two,
That were mirrored back from the old canoe
But now, as lean DER the crumbled side,
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The face that see there is graver grown,
And the laugh that I hear has a soberer tone,
And the hands that lent to the light skiff
wings
Have grown familiar with sterner things
Bu love to think Of the hours that sped
AS 1 rocked where the whiFls their white spray
she'd
Ere the blossom waved, or the green grass
grew, ..... ...... ....
Der the mouldering stern of the old canoe.

Fighting Lions.

Mr.. Huron Beckwith, formerly resi-
dent of East Brighton, N. Y, now a
resident of Santa Barbara County, Cali
fornia, having given his time and atten-
ton to the care of sheep and wool grow
ing, has necessarily selected an isolated
mountain range and valley ranch, that,
as a matter of course, could not be
sufficiently settled with inhabitants to
drive still further away the wild ami
mails. One of his encounters with some
of these is thus described by the
Rochester Express
"Mr. Beckwith arose very early one
morning in May last, to water his sheep
from wells, when he heard his dog bark
ing furiously; and knowing he must
have some wild animal at bay, went to
camp near by, took loaded rife and
went in pursuit, and found the dog had
treed California lion. The dog left as
soon as he saw help, and went up the
hillside as though he had found more
game. Mr.. Beckwith fired, shooting
the lion through the head. He then
followed the dog, and found him in
fierce battle, on the ground, with anoth-
er lion, still larger than the first. They
fought desperately, at one time rolling
down the hill together, distance of
over twenty feet. Mr.. B., having no
more ammunition, expected his favorite
dog would be killed, while he made all
possible haste to another camp, mile
away, which was the lodging of his
youngest son, Immediately took his
rife, mounted horse, and made haste
to the scene of action. He found that
the dog had treed the lion about forty
rods from where his father left them,
and followed the lion into the tree as
far as it was possible for him to go,
with the blood and froth running from
his mouth. Mr. G. BecBwith then took
aim and brought the lion to the ground,
with ball through his shoulder. The
dog sprang upon the dying beast, and
they were obliged to call him away, as
he was badly torn about the breast, as
also was the lion. Mr.. B. and son then
took their trophies to the house, and,
while relating the adventure, the dog
told his story plainly by looks and ac-
tions. After being patted, praised and
fed, he went to his kennel and scarcely
came out through the day, and did not
recover from the encounter for three or
four days"

Death by Stage Coach.

In these days of railways and steam
boats, stage coach accident worthy a
telegraphic report is a novelty. Yet
one comes from New Hampshire which,
in its fatality, must be placed beside
the ordinary disasters of the more mod
ern and dangerous mode of travel. Six
horses attached to O stage coach at the
White Mountains ran away, and in the
wreck which followed, two persons were
killed, two others fatally wounded, and
nine more or less injured.
Possibly moral may be drawn from
this. Horses will run away as well as
steam boilers explode, railroad bridges
break down, and vessels go to the bot
tom. Suppose we depended as largely
upon stage coaches as upon the other
modes of conveyance, and that as many
people Travelled as now-which by the
way, would be impossible-what reason
have we to expect that fatal disasters
would be less frequent u? Perhaps, in
deed, we are continually complaining of
things which is really better than it
could have been in the old-fashioned
ways .hoGhSC uIlNcIS are uO leSS CART
less than engineers or conductors. It
may fairly be said that life would be
equally as safe in the hands of the same
man, whether he controlled coach or
train. We have been told that there
is one conductor on a Massachusetts
road-one of the first ever constructed
who has served in that capacity since
the first train ran upon the road. For
twenty years before that he drove a
coach between Boston and Portsmouth !;
yet in all that time he has never sacri-
feed cent of property or lost life by
carelessness. Such instances are of
course rare ; if they were not, disasters
such as that recorded, or as the railroads
and steamboats, almost daily furnish,
would be almost unknown. ..r#

At the appointed time the wedding
came off in the best style of the city,
and the company enjoyed the occasion
with the greatest zest. The hours flew
like humming birds. As the clock
struck twelve the Professor picked up
his hat and started to his boarding
house. His principal attendant, sur
missing his intention, followed to the
front door and informed him that mat
rimonial etiquette required him to stay
and board and lodge at the house of his
father-in-law until he and his wife
wished to live by themselves; that he
would be furnished with room ada
cent to Sarah's room, in order that, if
she happened to get thirsty, he might
be near to get her a drink of fresh
water.
In the morning the bride and groom
were greeted with the smiles of the fam
ily, together with those of some early
callers, and inquiries were made if they
had slept well. Both responded that
they had never slept sounder in their
lives, he adding, with his childlike sim
plicity, that he was happy to say Sarah
did not call for water during the whole
night. The last remark was quite a
riddle tc her, and she looked curious,
but said nothing, no one venturing to
ask him to rise and explain. He did
not know it was a joke played upon
him until the attendant told it as such
to the company. .... .-..
Finally the happy couple went to
housekeeping, and never were man and
wife more heartily congratulated or more
highly esteemed than they were. They
were the favorites in the city. Never
was wife more lovely or husband more
kind and devoted, but he didn't know
any thing about providing for the larder,
only as Sarah taught him. One little
incident may suffice to illustrate. She
told him one day to get some rice. He
went Immediately to the store and told
the clerk he wanted to get some rice
"How much ?" inquired the clerk. "Oh,
not much, said the Professor, 81 reckon
three or four bushels will do for the
present" The clerk was very sorry to
say they had not so much on hand, but
that they would soon have more. The
clerk persuaded him to try to make out
for a few days with some fifteen or
twenty pounds. Sarah and the clerk
were not the only ones who laughed
over the incident. He never called for
the three or four bushels afterward.
If the Professor and his wife are still
living they must be well stricken in
years, and if they see this brief sketch
of their early lives, and find any errors
in it, they will pardon the writer.

Singular Effects Of Sucking Claret
Through Straw.

A singular case of lockjaw came
under the notice of several reliable
physicians few days ago. A gentle
man well known in business circles, and
rather heavy weight, suffered intense
ly from the heat. After experimenting
with number of cooling beverages,
he settled on claret punches as the best
STEADY drink" for hot weather, and
absorbed several of them daily through
straw in the same position as he did
a cigar in the corner of his mouth, with
the end resting against his cheek. At
the expiration of few days, the in
tensely cold liquor had singular effect,
end formed an abscess in his cheek.
Not knowing at first what it was, he
continued to dispose of his regular
number of punches, and was soon taken
with the lockjaw. DIR. Hodgen and one
or two other physicians attended him,
and with difficulty saved his life. They
were for some time at loss to account
for the singular affiiction, but on hear
ing the story all agreed that the claret
punches were responsible for the evil.
The sufferer, although not entirely re-
covered, is out of danger. He will
carefully avoid in future all crooked
and dangerous drinks, which he now
considers delusion and snare, and
will either take his straight or with
sugar. .-St. Louis Democrat. a.tl

The Fall Skirt.

The puffed skirt is Parisian sugges-
ton for fall dresses, says fashion
journal. This is merely an amply long
basque and single skirt but the
skirt is so elaborate that an over-skirt
would be superfuous. A long walking
skirt of cambria is made, and plainly
covered with silk from the knee down.
On this is sewed the silk skirt, held in
lengthwise puffs from the waist down,
gradually widening toward the bottom,
and forming below hollow box-pleat-
ing that gives the effect of a founce
around the skirt. The puffs are sepa-
rated by ruches, and bow conceals
the end of each ruche. The basque is
deeply pointed in front and behind,
and is quite short on the hips. 1t is
trimmed by ruffle of hollow pleats,
graduated narrower on the sides, and
quite deep in back and front. This
skirt is new, but it is the outgrowth of
the fashion now prevalent of long puffs
in the three front breadths. Over
skirts on many imported dresses are
open in front and Tapped from side to
side just below the belt. There is a
deep point on each side, and the back is
caught up by sash almost to the
belt.
