The car door opened, there
was q rattle and a rustic upon
the platfrom outside and she
came stumbling in. At the
came instant there came in
with her a ruddy checked, blue
eyed boy, whose years were
counted above ten. She car
ried in her arms a bundle
closely and carefully wrapped,
at one end of which a tiny
face appered, . diminutive
copy Of her own.
She was not more than thir-
~, she was fair, and appeared
as strange and tinlid as The
antelope we saw from the car
windows gliding over the
plains. But no one spoke to
her, no one presumed to claim
acquaintance with this travel
solid, weary-looking young
woman, and as she sat upon
the next seat to my own gaz-
ing wearily out upon the wide
bleak monotony Of the plains,
I observed several times du-
ring the day that her large
blue eyes filled with tears,
and that the little boy in
Scotch cap, knee breeches and
black hose, busted himself
IN vain attempts to comfort
his ssmother." All this I OBJ
served from behind my book,
which book proved a medium
q communication between my
fellow passenger and myself.

beautiful sinile.

aThk beautiful simile Is from Lone
fellows Hiawatha:
Never stoops the soaring vultura
On his quarry in the desert,
On the sick or wounded bison,
But another vulture watching
From his high serial lookout,
Sees tho downward plunge and follows;
And third pursues the second,
Coming from the invisible ether,
First espsek, and then q vulture,
Till the sir is dark with pinions.
So disasters come not singly;
But y II they watched and waited,
Scanning one another's motions,
when the first descends, the others
Follow, follow, gathering flock wise,
Round their victim, sick and wounded,
First shadow, then a sorrow,
Till the air is dark with anguish.

THE "LoCK-OUT."-The Pittsburgh
Post of yesterday, says:
There does not seem to be any lndlca-
tions of anything like a general resump-
ton of the iron trade for some time ut
least. Mr.. James |. Bennett has given rs
authority for the statement that at pres
ent the lockout is substantially unchanged,
except that the iron market was shade
dullcr than it was few weeks since.
From another manufacturers it was learn
cd that at n recent private meeting of tn"
mill owners the position of those mills
which are still running at the So rate was
discussed, and offers made to the latter of
any quantity of muck iron, if they would
stand By the other manufacturers. From
these indications it would seem that the
manufacturers do not intend to rcccdc
from their position, and that the lockout
will rontinu" all winter. This is blue
outlook for those who have been calcu-
lating on speedy end OF the strike.
