BY JESSIE GORDON.

Only seed-but it chanced to fall
In little cleft of city wall,
And taking root, grew bravely up,
Till a tiny blossom crowned its top.
Only 1ower-but it CHANGED that day
That burdened heart passed by that way;
And the message that through the flower was sent
Brought the weary soul a sweet content.
For it spake of the lilies SO ndrously clad;
And the heart that was tired grew strangely glad
AT the thought of a tender care over all,
That noted even sparrow's fall.
Only thought-but the work it wrought
Could never by tongue or pen be taught;
For it ran through life, like a thread of gold;
And the life bore fruit-a hundredfold.
Only word-but twas spoken in love,
With whispered prayer to the Lord above;
And the angels in heaven rejoiced once more;
For new-b born soul "entered in by the door,

How TIE WAGNER PALACE CARS WERE IN
TRODUCED. Long before Wagner ever dreamed
Of being /; State senator he as station agent at
Palalne Bridge. While thnS employed he had
the happy thought Of building these ears. in-
tucing three others to on him, he formed IL
company and altered an Old ear over to IA
"slecper." Each of his partners paid in one
half of his subscription to the capital stock,
and a. Wagner was not a rich lnan at that
time, it took about all he was worth.
Well, after the ear was built the next thing
was to get permission to run it Oh the Commo-
dore's roads. Mr.. Wagner went to New York.
He first called on William H. Vanderbilt. who
at that time did not have much TO say about
the management of the roads as he has had for
the last four or five years. He listened to
Wagner's description of his new car, and was
taken with the idea; but he told him it was no
use for him to see the Commodore. as he was
satisfied the Old man would have nothing to do
with it. He told him, however, to 90 ahead
and tit up his car, put It on the road and wait
until the old gentleman saw it, assuring him
that he would soon hear from him when he did.
Wagner acted on the hint, the car was put
on, and made several trips before the Commo-
,lore espied it. When he did, ne gave it Il crit
ica examination, and then asked whose it was,
and how it came there. He was told that it be-
longed to Mr.. W agner. and was being run as
an experiment. Wagner was sent for immcdi-
atcly. When he came he found the old Com
modore in a towering passion, what business
have you to put ear on my road without per-
missiOn|' was his first salutatiOn. Wagner
explained the arrangement he had made with
William H., but this did not seem to molify the
Commodore. ''1ake YOUR ear of the road I'M
mediately," he said I'm show YOU that am
boss of this road"
This was u hard blow for Wagner, as he had
invested all he had in this experiment, and he
turned away with Il heavy heart. As he was
leaving the Commodore spoke, saying. "How
many ears have YOU got like thisl' Wagner
explained that lie had two or three more on
the works; that it was n Joint stock company
and that they would be ruined il they could
not make m arrangement to run their ears on
the road. well" said the Commodore, "you
can tell the other parties that | will take their
stock off their hands for what they have paid
on it. The sooner you attend TO this the better
it will be for YOU"
Wagner saw the point, and in a short time
he had bought all the rest of the stock and
taken it to the Commodore. Lets see,' said
he; chow much did You say the capital stock
of your company is:" Wagner told him.
well, | guess wc'll multiply it by four; you
can keep one-fourth and I'll take the balance,
and We'll build some more of them cars right
away
And that was the beginning of WAgnerSS
prosperity. To-day he is II rich man. The Old
Commodore saw what Il necessity these cars
were destined to become, and took his own
way to get control Of them. For every dollar
Wagner has made ont of them, tue C"mmo-
dore made three.

There was a little pause, when the young

Edward, was he standing right in front

'Yes, pet" was the reply.
There was another pause, when the young
lady asked again:
edward, don't most of the fashionable
