.tbis morning, explaining bis strange
conduct, and informing me that ne ~
tends leaving the place at once. ne p
an upright, noble fellow, and ! cannon
blame him; but i would have given
much if this had not occurred. he mas
told me everything
Very much to his surprise, jessie, Wno
had turned crimson at the beginning of
his speech, burst into tears, and sud
denly, left the table; while Emma sat
there. pale and trembling, under,a pow
erful effort to command herself.
"What does this mean?" asked her
cousin anxiously. "Can it be possible
that Jessie"
\ A dreadful solution Of his wife's dis
tress rose to his mind, and almost mad
dened him; but, with forced smile,
Emma exclaimed, 'Don't be making
mountains of mole hills, cousin Herbert;
the whole affair, from beginning to end
is only piece of girlish nonsense, as /
will soon convince you. When I get
through, you can give me good shaking,
if it will be-any relief to you" F
Mr.. Wylie did not exactly administer
the shaking, but he did administer
rather stern reproof, which Emma pro-
fessed to laugh at; then, going in quest
of Jessie, he found her such wretehed
little bundle of tears and trembling that
he was obliged to cake her in his arms
and soothe her with caresses and pro-
testations of the most /1over-like char
acter.
His next performance was to seize
Frank Beechcroft, just as he was packing
his trunk with an air Of the fercest
melancholy, and. drag him, almost by
the hair of his head, over to the rectory,
where he was presented in due form to
the wicked Emma, whose face burned
painfully at the remembrance of that
kiss and then to the bona fde Mrs.
Wylie, who looked so pretty in her con-
fusion that her husband thought it
would have been an easy matter for the.
youth to commit himself as he thought
he had done.
1t took but short time, after such
promising beginning, for Miss Raybold
and Mr.. Beechcroft to feel very we'll
acquainted and matters progressed so
rapidly that Mrs. Wylie was not at all
surprised when her mischievous cousin
informed her that she had given prom
ise to a certain individual to wear her
bridal bonnet to church on the first Sun
day after the ceremony that converted
her into Mrs Beechcroft.,

The Railway Strike in Scotland.

London Standard
The strike of the servants of the
Caledonian Railway company is assum-
ing more serious aspect. At first it
was genarally understood that only
about 300 men had resolved to come out,
but there must now be about 5000 idle.
The strike includes Glasgow, Greenock,
Hamilton, Motherwell and several other
less important places. So far the passen-
ger traffic has not suffered so much as
might have been expected, though some
Of the trains are considerably behind
time.~Fhe goods traffic, however, is in
a very bad way, and on some of the lines
it may be said to be in complete state
of congestion. Much Inconvenience is
thus being caused, and shippers who
have vessels loading in the harbor
awaiting cargo are suffering seriously.
The traffic on the lines is worked chiefly
by men from districts not yet affected by
the strike. Many of these men do duty
most unwillingly, and numbers of them
have returned to the towns from which
they came. A mass meeting of the men
was held in Glasgow yesterday, Mr. Jos.
Hope, general secretary of the Amalga-
mated Society of railway servants of
Scotland, in the chair. There was a
crowded attendance, and among those
present were number of engine drivers
of the North British company who had
been suspended for refusing to work for
the Caledonian company. 1t was re-
solved to continue the struggle vigor-
ously, and to send no more deputations
to the manager at present. -H
An. enthusiastic meeting of railway
servants was held in Edinburgh last
evening. Mr.. Hope, the secretary, of
the Amalgamated Society, who presided,
said the strike, could not possibly con
tinue long, and the servants were certain
to win if they acted unitedly. They did
not wish to be unreasonable; but thev
were determined not to submit TO <anv
tyranny which refused to take tbeir
grievances into consideration. The SER
wants, in asking for shorter hours were
not exceeding what was Just, and tba
pr rinciple of freedom and fair play was
now involved in the struggle being
10 fought Mr.. Hope e/expressed regret that
the e Edinburgh men did not take joint }
a. action with their western neighbors ~
sunday SUNDAY and Monday. The result Of
protracted meeting was that the Rep
agreed to join those on strike. Ascond

WHICH is WHICH.

A very cheerful looking upper room
was pleasantly Uttered with all manner
of pretty things pertaining to a lady's
wardrobe; and two young girls, who
were engaged in valuable discussion of
the various articles, harmonized very
agreably with the beauty around them.
There were cloves of organdies" spread
out on the bed, delicate lilac, and rose,
and blue; "perfect' silks hanging over
chair backs, and simple, bat exquisitely
beautiful bridal dress arranged in state
by itself Then there were mysterious
looking boxes, and parcels, and things
for which it would be difficult to find a
name, making a room look as though
dry goods store had been suddenly
emptied into it.
"There certainly is something very
exhilerating in quantity of new things
all at oncew exclaimed one of the young
girls, as she gazed admiringly upon the
parapharnalia. ut is almost enough, of
itself, to induce one to get married, But,
after all, JESSIE" looking around criti-
cally, while all that you have is very
pretty, and in perfect taste, there is
nothing costly or elegant-I do not quite
understand it,
The fair bride elect blushed, as though
suspected of a misdemeanor, while she
replied quickly, "You know, Emma, that
papa is not rich, and Herbert is quite
poor young clergyman"
eyes, know all that, said the damsel,
decidedly; "but l also know that Uncle
Bridges, who is rich, gave you a check
for thousand dollars, to be spent for
bridal foolery,' as he complimentary
termed it. Now, in looking upon your
purchases, unexceptionable as they are,
1 see nothing like value received for the
sum in question; and ask what has
become of the thousand dollars-or, at
least, of five hundred Of it"
Jessie's pretty face was in such an evil
dent state of confusion, that her cousin
suddenly exclaimed, Il see land ahead, l
do believe Jessie Ingleson, you've given
the missing five hundred to that imagin-
ary little church that Herbert is SO
frantic to have erected in the coal
regions! You needn't deny it. I don't
consider that the French Empress ap-
preparation of her diamond necklace for
a school, or something, was anything
compared to this-for diamond necklaces
were comparatively every day affairs
with her; but five hundred dollars is a
sort of meteor that will scarcely cross
your path once in a century,"
Jessie murmured softly, "'Neither will
offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my
God of that which doth cost me nothing.
Please do not say amy more about it,
Emma; Herbert approves of what I have
done, and that is sufficient for me-
"Of course" returned Emma5 mis-
chieveously, thine handmade only de-
sireth to do what seemeth pleasing in
the eyes of my lord But really, Jessie,
Think 1 must reconsider my hasty
promise to make you an early visit at

vision before me of sitting down at the

view of my favorite chicken pie, all im=

SELECTED MISCELLANY.
Fifty Years Ago.

d F
Twas December evening,
The moon was shining bright,
The bare-boughed elms and naples
Were quivering in its light;
The lonesome country turnpike
Lay sparkling white with snow
1 harnessed Jerry IN the bung,
Just fifty years ago:
he logged along sedately,
The bells made silyery chime,
And to the merry jingle II
Ny throbbing heart kept time.
Sweet Mollie Lee was waiting,
Her shy face all aglow, ~
/ tucked her in and off we sped,
Just fifty years ago.
She was farmers daughter.
And l a farmers son;
Our willing hands our fortune,
For riches we had none.
And on this frosty morning, !
While Jerry's steps Jagged slow,
l told the old, old story DER,
Just fifty years ago.
And now our prancing chestnutS
y Pace through the city street,
With coachman and with fOOtman
In livery complete.
My Mollie sits beside me,
Her nut-brown curls are snow:
But ah ! her heart is warm and true
AS fifty years ago.
But when the wintry landscape,
Lies buried in moonlight's calm,
l dream I see it cleaning
Ger Maple Hollow farm, |
And long once more, plowboy, ;
Where mountain breezes blow,
To drive old Jerry in the pung,
AS fifty years ago.

for grand pyrotechnic display Monday
night, and several hundred dollars worth
of fireworks intended for use were stored
in one of tho outbuildings adjoining long
row Of stables. About 0 o'clock, people
living in the vicinity of the exposition
grounds were startled by several eXplo-
sions, and almost Immediately flames were
seen issuing from the buildings wherein
were stored the fireworks An alarm was
quickly sent out and in a few minutes
the entire fire department was on the
grounds. The buildings being franc,
their efforts were of no avail, and in short
time the structure, together with 900 feet
of stabling were in ashes. In the latter
were many noted racers, drawn there by
the exposition races, which begins on
Tuesday. All but three were rescued.
Those which we're burned were Maud J,

ton, who paid 81, OOO for it only last week.
A boy named Rodgers, of Kalamazoo, who
was sleeping in the stable occupied 10y
Polka Dot, was burned to crisp. The
fire created much excitement, and, hap
pening about the time the churches were
letting out, thousands were drawn - the
scene. The loss 10 the exposition society
will exceed 5000 on which there is au
insurance of SO 900.
