Startling Truths.

Inc 81. Louis express, on the Nsv
York Central road, was crowded ~.
evening recently, when at IN. :.
the way stations, an elderly gentlo
man, accompanied by young lad
entered the cars and finally secpr.d
a seat. AS the conductor approscbos
the pair, the young lady arose, AND
in pleading voice said:
'Please, Sir, don't let him carr
me TO the asylum. am not crgrs
l am little tiret, but not mad 6b,
no indeed. Won't you please hsr.
papa take me back home?''
The conductor accustomed thouob
he was to all phases of humsuifrI
looked with establishment at t5l
pair as did the other passengers IN
their vicinity. A few words from
the father, however, sulliced, and
the conductor passed on while tbs
young lady turned her face to tIs
window. The writer happened IN
be seated just behind the old sen.
tleman and coul not forego Ina
desire to sreak to him. With a ss5
face and a trembling voice ths
father said:
"Mv daughter has been attendls,
the seminary in q distant town ana
was succeeding remarkably. Her
natural qualities, together with =
great ambition, placed her in tbs
front ranks of the school, but sbs
studied too closely, was not careful
of her health, and her poor brain
has been turned. I am taking he,
to a private asylum where we hO,s
she Will soon be better"
at the next station the old man
and his daughter left the cars, bri

Because men, in tusiness and the
