How An Oil City Messenger BOY he.
came An Object of Envy.

Oil City Dispatch to the Philadelphia Times 18th
As the Allegheny valley railroad train bound
nortnward stopped at the station on Monday
evening q half-grown girl, accompanied by q
man descended to the platform. The man looked
around anxiously as if in search of another
train The girl also looked around anxiously,
but she didn't seem to care about another train.
She was pretty, but there was a restless express
sion in her eye which indicated an aching void
that trains could never fill
telegraph messenger boy, struck with her
beauty, gaZed at her with a freedom that at
tracted her wandering attention. Just as the
man who accompanied her stepped into the sta
ton to inquire if the Buffalo. New York and
Philadelphia train was on time the girl flew at
the admiring messenger boy, folded him in her
arms and Rugged him raptuously.
ION. you dear, darling. sweet little thing!"
exclaimed the GIRL in voice tremulous with
unrestrained emotion. Again she showered
kisses upon his cheeks, which We're blushing as
only those of a Observation-Disclosures messenger
boy can blush. Again she frantically pressed
him to her bosom and broke out into passionate
words, uttered IN equally passionate tones
kiss me again! Oh do kiss me! Don't turn
from me-"
The boy evidently didn't know what to make
OF it. He would have enjoyed it more if a crowd
had not assembled to witness the proceedings,
but he was too bashful to hug before a crowd
He tore himself from her embrace and rushed
down the platform. The girl fairly flew after
him. like Atalanta in the NEUROLOGICAL race. She
was gaining on him, and in one minute more
would have been hugging him at the end OF the
platform, when the man emerged from the sta
ton door.
Hello" said he. as ne looked at the spot
where he had left the girl. Where is-?"
But the direction which the crowd of loungers
had tahen made it unnecessary for him to finish
the question. He looked down the platform
and in 4 kind but firm voice shouted. ''Nellie."
Nellie started as if she had been shot. The
fugitive messenger boy. who was still running
as never messenger boy ran before, had no
further attractions tor her. Timid and subdued
In manner. as though fearful Of reproof, she re-
joined her companion. Just then the Titus
vile train came up and they got aboard

asylum. OF course she crazy. The idea of

An Eccentric Character.

A Boston merchant, who lived and died on
Summer street was a curious instance of one
who was an invalid frodA echildhpod, always ex-
tremely hypochondriac, who never Imagined
himself III when he was not, nor exaggerated his
actual illness, nor feared, unduly, sickness or
pain or death itself. But it was the business OF
his life to take care of his health; and he de-
voted himself to this work with wonderful
assiduity. He rode just so Far each day when
the weather was fair, and at sue an hour. He
had a great variety of clothing. which he regu-
lated with precision by the thermometer, some
times changing his dress many times in a day,
and selected for his over clothes, when he rode
out, the very garments which the mercury indi
Gated. He had q weathercock put upon his
stable, within fair view from his bedroom and
sitting room, and that, and his thermometer, and
all possible and impossible signs of tho weather
he was watching constantly, and found in these
occupations q very agreeable way of employing
an his day and all his days. How far his long
life is to be attributed to this excessive care, it
is impossible to tell but.he outliyed every broth

sisters husband, and his own wife, and died in
