Several weeks ago lady riding in
one of the cars of the Pennsylvania
railroad between this city and Harris
burg had the misfortune to lose a very
valuable bracelet. While putting up
the window of the car it came unclasped
and fell out. The loss was reported to
the conductor, who took the name and
address of the lady, and in four days
afterward she had the satisfaction of
having the bracelet returned to her.
How was it done? BY very simple
process. On arriving in this city the
conductor telegraphed the loss to the
various station masters near where it
occurred; the station master of each
section placed the facts in possession of
the track-walkers, and the track
walkers were given orders to keep their
eyes open on their routes for the brace
let. These men 60 over the tracks
every day, their business being to see
that no Instructions are on the road.
In this way one Of these walkers dis.
covered the piece of jewelry. 1t was
returned to the station master with the
report of the track walker; then it went
to the conductor with report, and in
due time found its way to headquarters,
where the various reports were placed
on file and finally returned to the
owner. whose receipt therefor closed up
The account. -HstseargA Dispatch

A story For Ysung Ladies VINO rravel.

We once remember-and il is bache-
Tor who holds this pen sitting in q
car-seat Just in the rear of the one oc-
cupied by two young ladies. who may
have been anywhere from nineteen to
twenty-five years Of age. They were
wcll-dres. ed and pretty. and they may
have either lived in a cultivated pro-
vino al town or in the country. But
their conversation was fluent and va
r.ous. and well nj h inces ant 1t ran
on and on in audible tones, and COW
cred wide range of experiences. Ii
was interesting; we could not deny
that. 1t was, Of course, proper and
decorous; but If it was meant for each
solely il was sent briskly to us. We
cou not but hear it. and it en- iyened
in u certain way what might otherwise
have been dull journey.
10 repeat it would not necessarily be
edify.ng here; but when the train
reached its destination in the Grand
Central depot. New York. the present
writer knew more about those young
ladies than he would actually find out
from moving in their circle of immc-
date actua ntances for q year. He
knew defn tely their ages; he had some
of their iiriations expos, d for his de-
lcctation: he knew what colored 8 lks
and what hair-dressing they preferred;
he could disco er their tastes and tenn
pers; and he was told their residences
and destination, and their names. Aud
the time quired TO impart all this was
not much more than an hour and a
half. The exp, rit nee occurred at least
ten years ago, but it is not quite oblit-
Grated ye,.-1he H-ur.

Ridiculing the Unfortunate.

shall never forget an incident of my
childhood, by which was taught to be
careful not to wound the feelings of the
unfortunate. A number of us school
children were playing by the roadside
one Saturday afternoon, when the stage
coach drove up 10 the neighboring
tavern and the passengers alighted. As
usual. we gathered around to observe
them. Among them was an elderly
gentleman with a cane, who got out
with much difficulty, and when on the
ground he walked with the most curious
c0ntortions. His feet turned one way,
his knees another, and his whole body
looked rs though the different menu
bers were independent of each other,
and every one was making motions to
suit itself.
I unthinkingly shouted: "Look ut
old Rattle Bones" while the poor man
turned his head, with an expression of
pain which can never forget. Just
then, to my surprise and extreme hor-
ror, my father came around the corner,
and Immediately stepping up to the
stranger, shook hands warmly, and as
sisted him to walk to our house, which
was but short distance.
could enjoy no more play that after
noon, and when tea-time came would
gladly have hidden myself; but knew
it would be in vain, and so trembling Fly
went into the sitting-room. To my
great relief, the stranger did not recog-
nize me, but remarked pleasantly to
my father. as he introduced me:
"Such fine boy Is surely worth the
saving"
How the words cut me to the quick!
My father had often told me the story
of friend who plunged into the river
to save me, as was drowning when an
infant, and who, in consequence OF o
cold then taken. had been made q
cripple by infiammatory rheumatism;
and this was the man had made q
butt of ridicule, and . laughing stock
for my companions!
/ tell you, boys and girls, / would
give great deal to have the memory
Of that event taken away. If ever yoti
are tempted as i was, remember that
while no good comes of sport whereby
the feelings of others are wounded, you
may be laying up for yourselves pain
full recollections which will not leave
you for . lifetime. Christian.

The New Pension Office.

The Government is erecting on Judic-
iary Square in Washington large
structure for the exclusive use of the
Pension Office, for which Congress has
already appropriated $4,000 1t is
four hundred feet long and two hum
dred feet wide, the height being three
stories, with a vast central sky-Gght
rising full story above the roof of the
third story and lighting the court. The
roof of the inclosed court is supported
by two rows of enormous columns.
This court, with its triple colonnade on
all sides, promises to be the best archi-
tectural feature of the editice, which
from the exterior suggests a temporary
exhibition building, by the cheapness OF
its material and decorations. The en-
tire structure is of brick, and the cor
nices and frieze are of terra Gotta. Be-
tween the first and second stories yell
low band, or frieze, three feet in height,
is carried entirely round the building,
and on this are represented scenes from
military and naval fe-infantry, artil-
lery and cavalry on the march, wounded
men, sailors in boats, etc. This much
at least can be said in praise of the hg-
ures, that they are not the stereotyped
soldiers and sailors of the picture books,
but seem to have been designed by some
one who has seen actual warfare. They
are too small, however, to be effective.
The building is not yet far advanced,
but one or two things are clear: it will
have the beauty of usefulness, which is
lacking in SO many of our public struc-
lures, and it will be a wide departure
from the classical ideas that long domi-
mated our Government architects. For
the purpose Of providing a large num- M
Der of well-lighted and Well-Yentllated
office rooms. the plan seems an excel
lent one. The architect is General
Meigs, formerly Quartermaster. General
of the army.-E. z. S4aatlsg, IA tie Cen

A DREAM OF HOME.

FAKE me to the dear old farm. when the clover
is in bloom;
let me wet my feet in the dew-bathed grass,
and breath its sweet perfumes;
Give me a seat meath the old ruof-tree,
draught from the homestead well,
d romp in the meadow or up on the hill, where
the echoes used to dwell;
And in one nour of calm delight, I'll live again
the years
when the bitterest grief was swept away in a
flood of transient tears.
soc again the vine-clad porch, the rose-bUsh
by the gate,
Where the brightest CLEANS of sunset seemed
to love to linger late;
The gray barn in the distance, the sprne-
house near at hand,
The crystal spring, and the limpid stream with
rustic bridges spanned;
ing grain,
lane;
And hear the reaper's voices, and the scythe-
blades ringing sweep,
The whistle of the meadow-lark, the bleattng
of the sheep;
The tuneleSs dronIng of the bees that ROD the
THE buzzing of the summer fly, and all the
farm-yards din;
DSScOrdant sounds to others ears, DuG now
More welcome than the dulcet notes of sweet
est harmony.
sc was a dream No more for me those sights
and sounds so dear:
MY home has been a strangers for this many
and many year.
THE house is gone, and on the spot where
memory sees it stand
Looms up lowered mansion for ch1lQ OF
fortune planned
And art has changed the orchard, the meadow
and the field
To grounds" that but the rarest fruits and
choicest flowers may yield.
Twould not know the spot again, but hard by
is the grove
Where rest the Wondering forms of those
whose memory love;
And in the grove and by their side, beneath
the locuSt's shade,
-gome day, ere many years perhaps, my BODY
will be laid.
Gath Brittle, in Demorest's Monthly.
