An Expensive Ride.

The uncertainties of life and railroad
travel were well illustrated at Oakland
on Thursday morning, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, the principal actor
being well known merchant of New
York city, who was about to return to
his home. He had purchased through
tickets, the day before, and, moreover,
had assumed the protection on the our
ney of the wife and two children of
friend in this city, who we're to start
from this side of the bay and meet him
at the Market Street Station, Oak
land. He was promptly on hand at the
hour Of the trains arrival, but suppos-
ing it would stop for some little time,
and being engaged in an animated dis
cussion with friend, he paid little at
tention TO its movements. Suddenly his
friend, more observant, cried out:
"Iour train is goingl' and, looking has
tily around, there II was, sure enough,
moving out of the station at considera-
bic speed, and he some twenty rods
away. Though it was evident
" hopeless TO pursue, he broke
for the receding cars without exchang-
ing the ordinary civilities of parting
with MS companion, Dut though the
"time" he made is confidently supposed
to have eclipsed any former record, he
fell behind rapidly and had TO abandon
the chase. In frantic haste he tore
around and found the station master,
and demanded the price at which en-
gines were customarily detailed to as

an occurrence to cause very much excite
ment; but Annie, with wild fear choking
at her heart rushed madly to the little
beach. The men did net recognize the
careworn face, with its long beard and sill
yer hair, bat she did, and with long wild
cry she threw herself upon the cold form.
Yes, it was Matthew Pengelly; dead upon
the very spot where he had lain exhausted
after saving David Batley's life; the rear
of the storm had been his only welcome to
the home he left 80 happy; the cold clasp
Of thu booming waves the only embrac for
him on this side of eternity. There is but
little more to tell of this true, but simple,
history; nothing was ever heard Of the
Trawler or her crew; she had foundered in
the storm, and gone to the bottom with all
on board save him who had foated home
to be buried among his own kin. Annie
mourned him afresh with grief that
would not be comforted, and David Bailey
went away with a ssricken heart to sea
once more. There came time, however,
when his patience won the treasure he
coveted, and ere he laid his fathers head
in the grave the old man blessed Annie
Pengelly as daughter, and prayed that
the love and duty she had shown in this
world might be rewarded in that which is
to come.

The Monster Lie.

diabolical. The "Graphic" accepts the re-
