A Carpet.bag hr Telegraph.

The Troy Northern Budget is the
responsible narrator of this aimee
dote: On Friday a German, some
what intoxicated, boarded the Hud-
son river train at Undertook for
the purpose of coming to this city.
He threw his satchel down in the
corner of the car, took a seat, and
was soon in the arms of Morpheus.
On awaking he alleged that he had
left his baggage at Undertook, and
asked the boy employed on the train
what he should do to recover it. The
latter, who had seen the German
place his satchel in the corner, re-
piled, You give methirty cents and
I'll telegraph to KinderhoCk to have
the depot-master forward it by teie-
graph to Greenbush. 1t will reach
there before we do The German
paid the thirty cents, gave minute
description of the missing property,
and the boy departed, taking the
satchel into another car. On reach
ing Greenbush the boy returned
with the bag, and placing it in the
Germans hands, said, There's the
first satchel I ever see come by tele-
graph 'Ah,' replied the German,
'dotdelegraffis vun great dings; here,
dake another quorter, mein poy.'
And the boy did"

and weeping. The effect was elect
rical. Never before had such a thing
been heard of, and yet few seemed
to think it out of place. Most of them
were too much moved to think of
anything but the story they had
heard. That same boy might have
told them his simple story in the
street, and they would have passed
him idly by but now it went home
to their hearts. 1t seemed almost a
test sent by God to try their faith in
the doctrine they had that day heard.
Only Mr.. NotwOrth seemed angry;
but though every eye had been
turned upon him, yet he dared not
speak.
Ere long the minister came down,
and placed his hand upon the boys
head and then, in clear, impress
i've tone, he said -
"Inasmuch as We have done it
unto the least of one of these, have
We done it unto me- My friends,
let us all take counsel together after
we are dismissed"
He then pronounced the benedic-
ton; but only David NOtwOrth left
the house. What was done in that
meeting can be judged of by the re-
suits. That very night doctor came
to the Widows cot, and with him
came a nurse who was to remain.
On the next day large sum OF mo-
ney, and many articles of comfort,
We're sent in. Ere long Paul was TIA
ken into the family of a wealthy
mechanis as an adopted son and
ere the SHOWS of another winter were
gone the widowed mother was well
| again, and was gladly taken into
| the same family with her son, where
she passed the happiest hours of her
life.
1t is simple story, but where will
YOU find Drawer boy than Paul La
we're ? Think you he was brave when
| he faced those two strong men for
his mothers protection? So he was.
! But that required not a mOiety of
the stern, calm heroism, which sent
him, pale, feeble boy, into that
sacred temple, there to face the null
titude, and, in defiance of all prece-
dent, to pour out the story of his
mothers sufferings. But his soul
was strong with filial love, and he
conquered. People honored him for
this strange independence, and he
grew up a noble, steady, virtuous
youth and man, respected by all
who knew him. Yet the smile and
the loving embrace of his mother,
with her fearful blessing upon him,
were by far the the dearest return
he met for his work.
OF Mr.. Notworth we will only say
he died unwept and unmOurned,
and a spendthrift son squandered
his property.

THE HIGHWAY cow.
by EUGUNE ]. HAYES.


The hue of her hide was a duslzy brown,
Her body was lean and her neck was slim;
one horn turned up and the other down,
She was of keen vision and long of limb
And ribs like the hoops of homemade pail
Many mark did her old body bear,
She had been target for all things known,
On many a scar the dusxy hair
Would grow no more where it once had
grown:
Many passionate, parting shot
Had left upon her lasting spot.
Many and many weli-aimed stone,
Many a briclxbat of goodly size
And many cudgel, swiftly thrown,
Had brought the tears to her bovine eyes,
or had bounded of her bony back
With a noise like the sound of rifle crack.
Many a day had she passed in the pound,
For help herself to her neighbours corn;
Many cOwardly cur and hound
Had been transfXed on her crumpled horn;
Many a tea pot and old tin pail
Had the farmer boys tied to her time-worn
tail.
Old Deacon Gray was a pious man,
Though sometimes tempted TO be proIane,
When many weary mile he ran
To drive her out of his growing gram
Sharp were the pranIs she used to play
To get her I'LL and get away.
She knew when the Deacon went to town,
She wisely watched him as he went by ;
He never passed her withoqta froWn
And an evil CLEAN in each angry eyes
He would crack his whip in an angry way
And drive in his" ooe-horse shay
Even at his homestead she loved to call,
Lifting his bars with her crumpied horn /;
Nimbly scaling his garden wall,
Helping herself to his standing corn
Eating his cabbageS, one by one,
Hurrying home when her work was done.
Often the Deacon homeward came,
the homie Ar
His hopeful heart in a tranquil frame,
His soul as calm as the evening air,
His head as smooth as a well-wOrn pillow,
TO find in his garden that highway COW.
His human passions were quick to rise,
And striding forth with savage cry
with fury blazing from both eyes,
As lightnings flash in summer sky
Redder and redder his face would grow,
And after the creature he would CO.
over the garden, round and round,
Breaking his pair and apple trees;
Tramping his melons into the ground,
OVerturning his hives of bees;
Leaving him angry and badly stung,
Wishing the old cows neck was wrung.
The moses grew on the garden wall,
The years went by with their work and
The boys Of the village grew strong and tall,
And the gray-haired farmers passed away,
one by one, as the red leaves fall,
But the highway cow outlived them all.
All earthly creatures must have their day,
And some must have their months and
years;
somein dying will long delay.
There is a climax to all careers,
And the highway COW at last was slain
In running race with railway train.
All into pieces at once she went,
Just like the savings bank when they fail
Out of the world she was swiftly sent,
Little was left but her old stump tail.
The farmers corn-fields and gardens now
Are haunted no more by the highway COW
