Ashamed of Her Mother

In travelling, chance words and in
cidents sometimes open to us whole
volumes of tragedy. For instance,
take the following fragments noted
some years ago by a passenger on a
railway train in the West. A little
blonde woman very much over dress
ed, was languidly nibbling cake and
slipping champagne at her lunch in
the palace car, when her husband en-
tered.
Daisy" he said, "your mother is
getting on the train"
"Oh, good gracious, where?" she
exclaimed, angrily.
He pointed to a tall, ungainly wo-
man in shabby clothes, going into
second-class car.
"Had not better bring her into
this car ?" he said "There are some
rough fellows in that one"
"Does she know that we are on the
train 2"
mo"
"Then never mind. / can't intro
duce mamma to the Scallers," glanc-
ing at some of her companions.
The train rushed on, and thewoman
who had married out of poverty into
fashionable set, while she laughed
and TESTED with her new friends, wore
an uneasy face that showed her terror
lest her mother should disgrace her.
Her husband said presently:
"Your mother will want lunch,
Daisy. Suppose I"
ooh, let her alone! She always
takes a brown paper parcel with
chunks of bread and bologna sausage.
She likes that sort of thing"
An hour or two later a jarring crash
resOunded through the Pullman cars.
Women shrieked, and men rushed to
the door as soon as the train stopped.
A brakeman met them.
"Keep your seats, gentlemen. Bro
ken rail only"
anybody hurt ?"
-Four or five people. One old
lady's dyin'. | heard her calm for
her daughter that's on the train
'Maggy! Maggyn just now, Take
keer, ma'am ~ as little woman
rushed past him.
The old lady lay on a clay bank.
Some men were holding her tenderly
enough. A physician who happened
TO be on the train was kneeling beside
her. Her daughter threw herself
down and dragged her head upon hel
breast. The woman's lips opened
and her eyes stared as if searching fol
some one. But she did not call fol
, 'Maggy' any more.
"DO something !" cried her daugh.
ter wildly. "Make her speak to me
Mother! mother it is Maggy! Mag.

Lincoln and Army Dosortora

Lincoln and Army Deserters.
Horatio King writes thus to the
magazine of American history of Lin
coin and army deserters:
While writing Of President Lincoln l
will relate another singular incident
not generally known; I think, and
which comes to me on tndoubted au-
thority. At the beginning Of the war,
oftener probably than later in the
fearful struggle, sometimes on going
into battle q soldier who had "never
smelt gunpowder" would falter, shrink
away and maybe throw down his
arms, utterly unable from cowardice
to proceed, thus rendering himself
liable to the penalty Of death.
When these cases came before Presi-
dent Lincoln, and the necessity of
making an example of such culprits
was appointed out to him, he invaria-
bly, plead off. BY the way of convinc.
ing him not only of the imperative
necessity Of strictly enforcing the law
as q restraining influence against COW
ardly instincts, but also of it's reason
ableness and justice, it was urged that
the soldier. seeing before him two dan
gers-on the one hand sure death if he
acted the coward, and on the other q
reasonable chance ofescape 1.-The press
ed forward in battle-he would iiattir-
ally choose the lesser of the two, and
thus save his honor at least, if not his
Lite. But it was all to no purpose-Mr.
Lincoln solemnly declaring that he
never could consent to sign the death
warrant of q soldier for failing to 20
where his legs refused to carry him;
and he never did. He consigned to
pigeon-holes, without his signature,
scores if not hundreds of these cases,
where they now lie buried at the war
department.

Leviathall Locomotives.

From the Albany Argus.
The Schenectady locomotive works
has sent out two Of the largest loco
motive engines that have been built at
Schenectady. The engines are for the
Colorado Midland Railroad, and are
numbered and 2, and will run be-
tween Colorado Springs and Leadville,
where the grade is 21O feet to the
mile, and where powerful engines are
a necessity. The boilers are made of
OF Otis steel, nine-sixteenths of an
inch thick, and their diameter
is sixty inches, with an extended
front end. There are 234 tubes
in the boiler, each thirteen feet
long and two and one-quarter inches
in diameter. The width of the fire
box is forty-two and seven,eighths inch.
es, the depth in front is tifty-seven
and one-quarter and back fifty-four
and one-quarter inches. The cylinders
are 2Ox24 inches. There are tour
driving wheels on each side fifty one
inches in diameter, and a four-wheel
spring bolster trick III front: The
tank capacity of these immense en-
gines is 8, 500 gallons, which is about
625 gallons more than an ordinary
New York Central passenger engine
holds. They are equipped with the
St. Louis steam brake on the tender.
The weight of the engine is sixty-two
tons without the tender, fifty-six tons
OF which set upon the eight driving
wheels.

How He Lost His Passionate.

11O" No 1|USC 11lS xaSCOrSC0s
DR.. Magoon's death recalls char
acteristic story Of the man, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, explaining how
he came to leave his first ministerial
charge, which was Richmond (Va.)
church. It was before the war, about
1845, when abolition sentiment was
growing. Mr.. Magoon, who was born
in New Hampshire, shared the north
ern sentiment respecting slavery. One
Easter Sunday morning, as he ascend
ed his pulpit, he was struck by the
contrast presented by the slaves
crowded in the gallery and their mas
ters and mistresses gathered in the
body of the church. The ladies were
out in their new spring toilets, radiant
with flowers and bright-colored rib
bons. The preacher surveyed the scene
for a moment, and then, addressing
tho congregation, said: Ladies, you
look very beautiful in your flowers
and feathers; but if you would spend
half the money wasted on finery to
educate those poor colored people up
yonder, it would be better for your
souls" At that time it was an oflense
against the law in Virginia to teach q
colored person to read, and it can
easily be imagined thatsuch q speech
put an end to M. Magoon's ministry
there.

A Preferred Creditor.

"And yon call this making me pre-

The Diet of Cons,lmptives.

The diet of consumptive patients
should be ample, and should contain
a larger portion OF the respiratory
constituents of food than is required
in health. The appetite OF consump-
tive patients is very capricious, and
daily grows more so if it be not
sharpened by exercise. When the
food taken is not applied to the pur-
poses of nutrition, it is better left un.
tasted; for otherwise it lies undigested
in the alimentary canal, and sets up
serious train of dyspeptic SYMPTOMS,
nausea and diarrhea. Kind friends
often, with the most provoking good
nature, thrust upon the consumptive
relays OF the most improper food, be-
cause the necessity for nourishment is
so obvious. But the fact is that when
the lungs are acting, indifferently d.
gestion can not 60 on actively, since,
as Arbuthnot we'll observed, respira.
ton is "the second digestion" Hence
the quantity of food taken by con.
sumptive persons should be small at
each meal; but the meals may, if the
sensations of the patient require it, be
more frequent than in health. OF
animal food, mutton is the best. Fat
ty and oily foods, which constitute
the respiratory class, should FREEDOM.
mate. and fresh butter with bread
may be taken almost a6libitum, so
long as it agrees with the stomach.
Cream, too, is excellent, and the luxu-
ry OF curds and cream are very suita.
bic. Milk, whenever it suits, is advis.
able as q constant drink food, and
good cows milk, new, answers every
purpose. There are. as far as l can
gather from numerous cases in which
] have seen them tried, no such speci-
fic virtues in asses milk and goats
milk as some have supposed. Tea
may be taken in moderation with per-
feet safety. Fresh vegetable diets
should not be omitted; and fruits,
especially roasted apples, are always
admissible, except in instances where
they excite irregular action OF the
bowels. The Iceland moss has had a
great reputation, as have jellies OF
different kinds, but these often are
slow in digestion, and they have no
specific value.

room to play house, room to mount
