At @ Railroad Station.

What is more painful to witness than the parting of friends, who do not know how to say good-b at a railway sta. tion. It is generally women who pro. long this luke warm leave.taking to which I refer, but occasionally yer dant youth or an uneasy old man enacts the party of the bereft one. The last saw were women, however. After an afectionate kiss one came into the car saying: ''Give my love to all the folks i; (whom she had just left) tell Georgie to write to me-" Taking seat, tug, tug, and pound, pound. "Oh dear, what does all this window ?" and then with @ loud voice, face close to the glass, and intense mouthing of the words to make herself understood, she says "Almiry, I can't get the window up." Alm1ry says 'never mind," and then they smile at each other. Five minutes elapse, during which our passenger arranges her belongings to her mind, and then says to her patient friend on the plat form. who is bound to stand there un. til the cars leave if it takes all dsy ''Tell Jim shsn't forget what he said last night-you know" They both nod and look wise and smile. Above all things they smile. ''It seems to me I have forgotten something, but I don't know what it is." A long interval, dur. ing which Almiry fits the toe of her shoe into crack in the platform and occa. sionally looks despairingly Town the long train of cars. and wonders if it will ever start. Then thought strikes her, and she comes close to the window, s'Say. Lizzie, did you see Mary Phette- place look as we came out of church You know what she said to Jim that dayp I guess she thought it was so. This remark creates a momentary ex- citement, but they both get discouraged again as another five minutes goes by. Their visit is over but they do not know how to end it. Another long minute, more ghastly smiles, and both breathe sigh of relief as the warning bell strikes. Just as the train begins to move. "Oh, my good gracious" and our passenger starts for the door, where we hear her shouting, "Almiry, left my best dress hanging in the closet under the stairs, you send it by ex- press P Then back she comes to her seat, red in the face, and all in a flut. ter.

A Generous Hearted Man.

A correspondent of the Boston Gazette relates the following interesting story about the venerable Peter Cooper {:
 " Nearly every day he drives down to his office and stays there for few hours. As he comes out to his coupe he is surrounded by bevy of seedy- looking men. Each in turn steps up to him with Good day, MT. Cooper and an expectant look in his eye, and just as regularly the benevolent old gen. tlemsn puts his hand in his pocket and gives him piece of money and Good day to you.' Why do you let these people annoy you, MT. Cooper p asked an impatient young man the other day. They don't annoy me at all, said the philanthropist. They are old friends of mine, poor fellows. Many of them have seen better days. They don't want much-Just enough for dinner or 8 lunch. When am ready to le ave the office put few dollars in change in my pocket, and give it to them when they speak to me. They expect 1t, you know, and wouldn't like to disappoint them.'"

A Matter of Debt.

There are people in the world who really feel that they ought to pay their debts, and who are sometimes troubled by their inability to do so. It always seemed to us, however, that clearer in- sight into human affairs should teach us that when we owe man some money and cannot pay it the heaviest end of the sorrow naturally falls on him, not on us.
 We have the article bought and have en- loyed it, but he, poor fellow, is doubly minus, for he is minus what he sold and also his pay for it. Our grief to his is the grief of a regret in comparison with the grief of lean pocketbook, and in these enlightened days when science proves conclusively that conscience is merely a matter of education, or possi. biy only prejudice, most men become devotees of science and allow religion to look out for itself. Sheridan had a han py way of looking at a debt. When some one who was more impertinent than courteous asked him how he man. aged to buy so many expensive things he naively replied: "Why, I order them at the shop, and the shopkeeper puts something down in 8 book, I belle ye and once in while speaks to me about 1t, and that's all know"

A MOving.Day Thief.

The ordinary terrors of "moving- day" are a quite sufficient infection, one would suppose, but New York fam flies while changing tenements often suffer the loss of goods by actual plum derers almost under their very eyes. The sneak-thieves know their game, and will sometimes personate the owner him. self with success. Says the Herald:
 A Mrs. NJ recently moved, her working force consisting of herself, her daughter and new servant girl. Mrs. NJ and her daughter superintended the removal of the furniture, the ser- want being sent to the new house just to receive the furniture as it came in.
 While the servant was assisting at an unloading an elegant gentleman entered the house.
 "Ah, my wife's (Mrs. N--'s) furni- ture. Correct" he exclaims.
 Making some remarks on the various pieces of furniture, and ordering the servant to arrange the furniture thus and thus, the servant obeying the ele- gant gentleman's orders, of course, and the truckman imagining, naturally, that everything was as it ought to be.
 Among the articles unloaded was 8 superb French clock. "Ah this needs repairing ! I will take it round the GOT. ner at once and get it attended to before my wife comes. She will be surprised and pleased to see it repaired" And off the considerate husband and elegant gen. tleman started with the clock.
 Needless to say Mrs. N was sur. prised, though she was not pleased. Her husband had been dead for years, and the French clock has not yet re. ceived the necessary repairs.

A Fearless Judge.

once heard this aIecdote of Judge Parsons, the great Massachusetts advo cate and lawyer. 1t is said that bein , about to try mercantile case, he or. dered jury to be summoned, and among the names was that of Colonel Thos. H. Perkins, the leading merchant of Bos- ton in that day, and personal friend oi Judge Parsons. When the officer made his return, he laid down a fifty dollar bill before the judge.
 "What is that ?" said Parsons. |. "Oolonel Perkins says he is very busy indeed, to-day, and prefers to pay his fine"
 "Take that back to Colonel Perkins, 7" said the judge, 'tand tell him to come here at once; and if he refuses, bring him by force." ...
 When Colonel Perkins appeared, the judge looked sternly at him, and said l: "What do you mean, sir, by sending money when you were summoned to sit on this juryP'
 Colonel Perkins replied: "I meant no disrespect to the court, your honor; but I was extremely busy fitting out ship for the East Indies, and I thought If I paid my fine might be excused"
 "Fitting out ship for the East In !. dies, sir 1" shouted the judge "and how happens it that you are able to fit out @ ship for the East Indies 2''
 "Your honor, I do not understand you."
 "I repeat, then, my question: How is it that you are able to fit out ship for the East Indies 2 If you do not know, I will tell you. It is because the laws of your country are properly ad- ministered. If they were not, you would have no ships. Take your seat, sir, with the jury"
