Miss McGinnis Wounded.

A funny man of the Mohawk Valley
Register says: "By asking a man who
seemed to know her, we learned that
her name was Miss McGinnis, and that
she resided in Rome She was of petite
statue, and about as handsome as she
could be and keep her name. With
pocket knife, whose polished blade glist-
ened in the sunlight, as it came through
the car windows, she was seen removing
the shells from q supply of chestnuts.
It was Wednesday morning, and the
train had scarcely reached Fort Plain,
when the stiffness that peryaded the car
was broken, and from the palm of her
left hand there rushed a slightly stream
of gore. Her exclamation, of course,
aroused the inmates of the car, some
of whom hurried to her assistance,
while others began carrying out the
baggage. The ladies of the car sur
rounded the bleeding maiden, and each
prescribed a way to cease the flowing
blood. The windows were raised, much
to the discontinue of a cadaverous
fellow sitting near the door, dressed in
linen pants, her parian forehead was
mopped with ice.water, while old Mrs,
Tousley, of Herkimer, famed her with
the cover of hat-box, and inquired If
she did not feel faint You must
feel faint, said Mrs. Tousley. IT can't
be otherwise, said fellow holding a
cup of ice-water, and stopped it over
everybody. After being repeatedly
told that she must feel faint, and that
it could not be otherwise she tainted.
Renewed commotion ensued. A hand
kerchief saturated with gin from the
flask of a temperance lecturer, who hap
pened to be on board, was applied her
to well-shaped nose, her wrists we're
rubbed with the liquid, her temples were
bathed with the same, passengers from
other coaches came pouring into the car
and around the PROSTATE girl, all anx-
ious to know what was the matter, and
had a prize-package boy been lying
there struggling for life the sympathy
of the crowd would not have been great
er. After Miss McGinnis became oon-
scious and the handkerchief was re-
moved from the injured palm it was
found that the wound was as large as
that usually made by being stabbed
with pin. 3"
An Illinois schoolgirl was whipped
until she tainted away because she said
"chaw instead of "chew." The
teacher wasn't so particular about his
grammar when he went up the road
with about 30 men chasing him,

Poor Austin =
Charlie resumed "My father, for
whom, as an old friend, Mcssrs. Smith
son sent, to assist them in breaking the
news to his parents, can scarcely bear
to speak Of the scenes he witnessed.
Mrs. CrawIey is very i'll, Lotto. The
truth was concealed from her as long
rs possible. 1t was not until late last
night she learnt that it was to hear the
tale Of her sons guilt that Mr. C-awley
was summoned to the city and it ap
pears that no one had suspected how,
while Austin was believed to be quietly
sleeping, he had packed portmanteau
and stolen out of the house in the dead
of night, to embark for America.
And so Lottie's Joy in her betrothed's
innocence was tempered by tho knowl-
edge that if his parents had been hap
PLY spared such deep sorrow, others
were enduring it.
She spent her Christmas Eve Mt Clay
ham, but not in the dove-colored silk.
She VS. clad soberly in the dark
merino, and heard, with dropping head
and troubled conscience, Mrs. Morrison
tell her how fully she and her husband
approved their sons choice, and how
her couduct as a daugter and sister had

IN THE EVENING.

All day the wind had howled along the lCas,
All day the wind had swept across the plain,
All day on rUstiinR grass and waving trees
Had fallen "thc useful trouble of the rain"
All day beneath the low-huUR, dTCary sky,
The dripping earth had covered sulleny
Az last the wind had Robed itself to rest
Al last to weary calmnes5 sank the storm,
A crimson line cleaned sudien in the west,
Where golden heCks rose Wavering into form
hushed revival hCraldCd the night,
And with the evening time awoke the light.
The rosy color flushed along gray waves
Tho rosy color tiuEcd the mountains brow;
And where the old church watched the village grlvCs
Wooed to passing blush the yew trees frown.
Bird beast and flower relenting nature know,
And one pale star rose shmmerng in the blEc.
so to life long crushei in heavy grief,
50, TO path long dsrkcued by despair,
The slow, sad hours bring touches Of relief,
Whispers Of hope, aud strength of trustfu prayer.
"Tarry his leisure, :" God of love and might,
And with the evening time there will be light.
