Crossing town the other day In haste to
catch a train the horse-car was three times
blocked by great vans which stood upon
the track. I looked about on my ~fellow-pas-
sengers. Some had flushed. and angry faces,
some could not sit still, but tapped tho
floor with their feet, and uttered exclama-
tions. and looked az their watches. One or
two stepped out with their bags and walked
hastily onward. But a dear Old lady in tho
corner of the car was a oattern of sweet
ness and amiability, and I heard her observe
to her neighbor. we will probably lose our
train, but mt this time of the day there are
trains every half hour, and it's never well
to be put out by little accidents OF this
sort" She had the right philosophy.
