A GENUINE WOMAN.
ght Twas kept awake |

That night l was kept awake by child
crying. went in the cabin and leaned
my head on the table watching a sallow
faced, sickly, despSiring man in thread
bare attire dandling the crier, which cried
the more the more It was tossed. Soon
the curtain that divided of the ladies
cabin was put aside and lady stepped
outih a loose wrapper and said kindly,
"Letsme take your baby, sir" She sat
down with it and the fount heaven be-
stoWs soon hushed the cry to low, soft
sob and then 10 rest. l recognized the
lady a. one OF WheelIngs most wealthy
and beloved young matronR, and watched
her at distance without raising my bead.
The poor man told The worn old story OF
emigratiug with his young wife from
Maryland TO Missouri, malarial sickness,
birth and death, failure Of crop, and
now on his weary way to get back to the
old home, sadder if not wiser man.
She listened with manifest feeling long
hours while the little one slept. At
length childs cry came from the ladies
cabin. He rose to take the baby, saying,
"Yonr child is crying for you" "Never
mind" said she, ''it will not hurt her, for
she has mother" The sweet smile with
which che said il repaid ME for loss Of
sleep. There was new lease Of lie, too,
in the face Of that care worn man when
day later he thanked humbIy his friend
and babe her farewell at Wheeling. She
walked in the spirit Of him who said,
Suffer little children to come unto me-"
| thought TO have written you more
good jokes, but when thought OF one
upon anybody else than myself 1 was
afraid | would tread on some ones corns,
and i. is too late In the day to raise any
unpleasantneSs in place that SEEING as
much like home as Wheeling. There is,
however, ono too good to be lost. A once
extensive manufacturer, who has been
years away from there, met me one even
Ing going down to the wharf with carpet
bag in hand, In 1876, a month or 30 after
the long telegraph wire had been strelched
across the river, and asked me where was
going. To Pittsburgh, l replied. | ar.
rived there at seven in the morning, made
very little purchases, aud took the new
and fast passenger steamer Telegraph"
down and arrived home in twenty.four
hours from the time We left. At the foot
Of Monroe street I met the same man
again. He said, "Why, I thought you
went to Pittsburgh" Al did no." L re.
piled. "How did you get back so quick2'
Game by Telegraph" He looked up at
the wire and said earnestly, "How do
them blamed things ride anyhow 2" I
thought it good joke, At first, but found
he wasin dead earnest. 1t was not worse
than the fact than one Of the lawyers then
living there, in good practice, for more
than a year refused to believe that the
messages left the office, and declared III at
those received were all guess work. Have
you not observed that science, as we'll as
religion, loses more from want of faith
Than from over credulity. J.S.W..
