was sitting on a train about to
leave Richmond, Va, for Petersburg,
when a bridal party came on and onss
of the bridesmaids occupied the va
cant seat by my side. Thscoach was
crowded, and her special escort could
not find a seat, but contented himself
by standing in the aisle by her side,
conyersing about the events Of the
day. 1t became dark, and Iclosed the
book / had been reading and leaned
my mead on the window, and closed
my eyes simply to rest them. Nothing
was further from my thoughts than
to be an ea~vesdropper, as In the event
| proved to be, for in the darkening
twilight the absorbed couple, suppos-
ing me asleep, settled into cloves low
tome" each word of which struck up-
on my ear as bell, for in his earnest
ness he leaned on the back of the seat
in front of us, his face as you can pict-
ure for yourself, forming with the
lady's ear and mine On equilateral
triangle. In free America and on a
public conveyance, / did not think it
necessary to remind them of my pres
ence. Presently he bent closer and
whispered: "You must know by this
time what my attentions to you mean.
May / hope that / may claim you as
mineg" After a little pause she said:
II am very sorry, but ] am afraid our
paths through life will to diverge.n
He expostulated, of course; then,
heaving a deep sigh, walked away.
The twilight d~eepened, and I still
rested my eyes. After a while the dis
consulate lover returned and renewed
his suit, saying: II have spent fifteen
wretched minutes. Can youGgive me
no hopegv Her voice in the cleaning
sounded like music to him, Tilave no
doubt, as she answered: II have been
thinking over what / told you. No.
one knows what will be in the future.
and perhaps our paths may converge
Just then the whistle blew for my
station, and, gathering up my pos
sessions, I was preparing to depart,
when he exclaimed joyfully: do you
get off here?'r Allow me to.help you
with these" And with shining eyes he
took my sachel and parcels and help
ed me of, even controlling himself so
far as to bow respectfully as left. On
looking back | could see the lady in
my seat by the window, andthehappy
lover sitting by her side. The whistl5
blew, the train started, and-the cur
tain fell.

The England of To-Day.

Moncure d. Conway gave an hour
and a half Of keen enjoyment to q
large audience at the University Club
Theatre by relating some of his views
and opinions of "The England of To
Day." The lecture covered a great
variety of topics. These are some OF
the things that the lecturer said:
England politically is a sort Of
torso. Its m~onarchica head has gone,
and its aristocratic arms have gone.
If the Queen had monarchcial pC~sr,
Gladstone would not be Prime Minis
ter. England has inoculated the
world with the notion that the one
man power is necessary, and two leg
islative chambers necessary, while it
has itself reduced the monarchy to
q figure-head and one chamber to a
sham. Englishmen have bought of
monarchy with a costly bauble and
their bargain on the whole is not q
bad one. The English Government is
threatened at several Vulnerable
points. The English revolution oc-
Cured a century too soon to burn out
thegilded lumber which fills rooms
needed for other purposes. The dam
ger to England is from the Anticipated
constitution of the popular house.
The advance of democracy has COM
PEELED the House to turn from it's orig
NAL task and do work for which it
was never contrived.
''These Commoners originally repre-
scented the local needs of the country.
Now they may be called to decide on
a question of war in one breath and
on an omnibus franchise in the next.
No form of local self-government has
been developed. The House Of Com
mons in the present democratic age is
something like a splendidly differed
Brooklyn ferryboat carrying a pre-
cious freight across the Atlantic. The
whole constitution OF Great Britain
may be altered by a majority OF one.
And the only shield which the millions
comprising the British Empire have
against this majority of one is the bat
tered shield resting on the discredited
arm and failing arm of the House of
Lords. The majority OF the voters in
England are ignorant men. English
democracy is very different from our
democracy. 1t IS a great mass which
moves as it must on lines developed
ages ago.
'eaThere are too many people in
England. The struggle for existence
is dangerously severe. The old
religious restraints have weakened
with many and have turned into O.
kind OF primitive Christian radicalism
more threatening to the State than
intidelity. Scientific spe~cticism is
mainly conservative. The evolution
lists believethat the social order which
came by slow evolution must go by
slow evosa.ion, hut the ignorant un-
believer has merely abandoned the
Church and the creed while retaining
the methods and spirit in which he
has been trained for many centuries.
He is q revivalist, who has substitute
ed this world for the next. Helooks
for the revolutionary trump blown by
Bradlaugh instead OF the Angel Ga,

I'll BE BACHELOR WHEN I'M OLD.

Said our bright-eyed boy with hair OF gold,
an be q bachelor when I'm old,
And alwars stay with mamma and you,
As sure as sure, as true as true
But he fell n prey to Cupid's dart.
For tiny Bess stole his tiny heart.
Next day he announced with solemn air,
He loved dear Bessie, he did, so there
Bessie was pretty, Bessie was good
He'd marry Bessie-yes, he would
Reminded Of what he has said before,
He pondered a moment the problem DER,
Then softly said, in his bashful way,
Il hadn't seen Bessie, yesterday"
oh, boy OF mine, tits vain to plan
"IIl be Il bachelor when a man.
Some fairy creature with golden hair,
And sweet blue eyes like your mothers
there,
With ripping laugh like the song of bird,
Or voice the sweetest we ever heard,
Makes us forget the words long spoken,
Half unconscious their spell is broken,
And then, like you, we simply say,
II hadn't seen Bessie, yesterday"

soUIRES AT JOHNsTOwN.
The watchman at Haws' Cement MIL
Knocks Him Out.

Mr. John Bowden, the night watchmau
at Haws' cement mill. is positive that on the
night Of December 4th last he had some not
very pleasant personal dealings with the
man Frank Squires who was arrested at
Harrisburg on Wednesday for the murder Of
Emory Thayer at North Danvilie, n. Y,
several months since. SquiTes, it will be
remembered, WAS in the Harrisburg Hos
pital suffering from what appeared to be
pistol wound back of the ear, which be said
he Tad received during an encounter with
gang OF colored men IN Johnstown on Christ
mas day. One day he walked out CT the in
stitution without saying good bye, and sub.
sequently bis alleged connections with the
Thayer murder was brought out, and a lucky
constable succeeded in running him down
Mr. Bowden's story is that on the Decem-
Der night referred to he found tramp lying
asleep in one of the kiIns at the brick works.
He had hard time waking the fellow, aud
when at last the watchman did get him to
his feet he rolled his eyes strangely and
drew back as If to strike the man who had
so rudeIy disturbed his slumbers. Mr..
Bowden had in his hand :stout walking
stick, and the tramp had no sooner made
down for another nap, which for time ap-
peared as If it might continue forever. A
blow on the head with the cane had knocked
| him insensible, and blood flowed freely
from the wound Mr. Bowden then sent for
/ Offcer Kelly, Of Cambria, and on his arrival
wagon was procured and the injured man
taken to the Cambria lookup, being still
unconscious. Mr.. Bowden asked the officer
! what should be done. Officer Kelly said he
would see the District Attorney about thai
10 the morning. 1t seems, however, that
| the man came around all right during the
| night, and that he was given bis liberty the
next day, on condition that he would gel
out of the town at once.
Mr.. Bowsen says that when the man fel
under his blow at the brickYard, FIVE letter:
dropped out of his pocket, one of which had
a heavy mourning embroidery. Mr.. Bow
den examined one of the letters and saw
the name of Squires. Officer Kelly told hin
several of them we're postmarked Norti
1 Danville. n. Y.
The man is described by Watchman Bow
den as young, weighing about 175 pounds
and well dressed, and as answering very
well to the description given in the news
papers of the suspected murderer. Th,
watchman would not be surprised did |
turn out that the wound behind the man
ear was not pistol wound, but the WOUND
made by his club, In which cold probabI,
settled and kept it sore.
Whether or not Squires had been identi
fed at Danvile as the man wanted has no
been learned. Johnstoton Tribune, 18th.
