At a station a little girl came
abord tho train, carrying a small
buodle under her arm. After tak
ing a sent, she commenced uu eager
scrutiny u( faces, but all were
strange to her. She appeared
weary and placing her bundle for
a pillow, she ptepured to secuio a
little sleep. Scon the conductor
came through the car collecting
tickets and tnres. Observing him,
she ask if she might lie there.
Tho gentelmanly conductor repli
ed that she might, and then kind
ly asked for her ticket. She in
formed him that site had none,
when.the following conversuriou
ensued.
Said theconductor, ‘‘Where are
you going?”
Sho answered “I am going to
heaven.”
.He ashed again, ‘‘Who pays
your fare?”
She then said, “Mister does this
road go to heaven, aud does Jesus
travel on it?”
He answered “He does not.
Why did you think so? 1 '
“Why sir before my ma died
she used to sing tome about the
heavenly railroad, and you looked
so nice and kind I thought that
this was the road. My ma used
to sing of Jesus on the heavenly
railroad, and that He paid the lair
for everybody, and that thu train
stopped at every station to take
people on board; but my ma dnn't
to me any more. Mo body sing to
me now, and I thought that 1
would go to ma. Mister do sing
to your little girle about the rail
road that goes to heaven?”
,He replied weeping. “Mo my
little dear, I have no little girl
now. I had one once, but she
died some time ago, and went to
heaven.”
Again he ask "Did she go over
this railroad, and are you going
to see her now?”
By this time ail in the carriage
were on their feet, and most of
them were weeping. An attempt
to desoribe what I witnessed is al
most futile. Some said, I'Ood
bless the little girl?"
Hearing some person use the
word angel. “Yes my ma said
I would bo an angel some time.”
Addressing herself once more
yes.
She then asked ‘will nuke
me up then, so 1 may see my ma,
your little gi. I an . .lieu ? 1 do so
much want to net Ffiom alt ”
The auswei came in broken ac
cents, hut in words very tenderly
spoken, “Yes, dear angel, yes.
Ood bless youl”
“Amen," was Bobbed by more
than a soore of voices. Turning
her eyes again upon the conduc
tor, she interrogated him again.
“What shall 1 tell your little
girl when Isee her? Shall I say to
her that I saw her pa on Jesus’
vailio td? Shall I?”
This brought a fresh flood ol
tears 'from nil present, and the
conductor kneeled by her side,
nnd embracing her, wioped the
reply which he cuulu not utter
At thiS'junciuro the brakesman
called out, “H si" the con
ductor arose (the conductor's) duty
at tho station, for he was engaged.
That waB a precious place. I
thank Ood that I was a witness to
this scean, but 1 was sorry that at
this point I was obliged to leave
the train. We learn from tills
incident., that ont of the mouth lit
even babes Qod hath oidained
strength, and that we ought to bo
willing to represent tho cause ol
our blessed Jesus even in a rail
road coach.
Three Grooms Claiming One
Bride.
The ICnnx -Merritt marriage
mystery in New York 8t«te, where
Merritt declares he isn't the man
who married Mary Knox, and the
girl insists that lie is, mid neither
tho minister nor the court can side
with either party, is wholly eclip
sed in mystery by an affair that
occurred near Jackson, Michigan,
years ngo, is vouched for by legal
iceovds and living witnesses. A
queer bachelor named Dodswortb,
aged BO, married a girl o! 20, liv
ing happy with her for ten years.
When he died he left his $30,000
to the widow, with the Btrange
provision that tho money should
go to the Slate for pit old woman’s
home, if his wife didn’t marry
again within thirteen months.
Furthermore he stipulated that tire
“marriage ceremony shall lie per-
formi d in the big barn on my farm.
It shall take place at 10 o’clock in
the eveuing, on tiro main floor,
without light of any description,
with all tho doors Blmt, aud a free
invitation shall be extended to all.
The clergyman shall stand in the
stables and tiro bride and groom

Wouldn’t you like to see heav
en, and Jesus, and your little
girl?"
These words, so innocently and
pathetically uttered, brought a
great rash of tears trom all eyes,
but nipst profusely from the eyes
of the conductor. Sonto who wore
traveling on the heavenly road
shouted aloud for joy.
8be now asked the conductor,
“Mister, may I Us here till wo
gat to heaven?”
just about a year from her hus
band's death, she gavo public in
vitations to her wedding, nobody
could telliWhetner the favorite was
a certain widower, a bsohelur or
one or two young men. The min
ister, too, entered into the spirit
of tho affair, and. to 'mystify the
people still more the biido eutered
the barn itlmio at one door and thu
groom at another. There were at
least two hnudred present, the cer-
emouy proceeded in darkness, nnd
at its close the crowd broke for the
bride ami carried her home iu tri
umph inr a chair. But hare began
tho trouble ;■ the widower, the
- bachelor andr tv»o young men swore front from shoulder fos
Imud, and was married to her;
the crowd could not decide; the
minister didn't know, and the wid
ow was puzzled, for all claimed to
hnvo been engaged to her, and,
though tho widower was her oitoice
he might have been jolted one side.
—Indeed, he acknowledged that
some one tried to choke him in the
dark. The four men fought, but
that didn't settle it. The guests
ducked two of them in the brook,
but still no light. Finally tbe
widower compromised with the
others by giving them $2,000 eaoh,
and reigned as her lord.—The al-
fair has never been explained. One
of tile young men married in Jack-
son, and still declares that he mar
ried to Widow Dodsworth in the
big barn. Tho other lives in Clin
ton county, and protests that ho is
her lawful husband, “so bolp him
God.” The bachelor is dead, but
maintained to the end, “I married
Iter, by gum, and, by gum, I
ought to have her.”
Trying Bias Glass os a Kemcdjr.
The blue glass mania, says a
correspondent trout Mew York to
the Boston Post. hIiowb itself in all
putts ot the city, and m'oBt notice
ably iu the form of panes of the
prescribed color inserted in
windows. Yet the extent of the
testing of the theory is not to he
seen trom the streets, for the blue
light is usually let in from the
windows southword, and conse
quently in hulf the instances from
the rear of the houses. Plates of
of blue, framed so as to bo sus
pended in windows, are also nsed
to a surprising extent. Seldom
has a rage for a supposed cure-all
so generally taken held on the
public, and with how little under
standing is evidenced in tho fre
quent use of glass not colored in
the manufacture, hut simply coat
ed with some kind of blue stain.
Most of the large retail fanoy goods
stores liavo established depart
ments to supply the sudden de
mand for bine glass, the stock be
ing composed of plates of various
sizes, framed and unframed. The
traffic in these goods is brisk, aud
the purchasers are almost exclu
sively women. Prices are about
treble those of gloss of any other
color and similar quality. Imme
diately on ttio outbreak of the ma
nia the wholesalers in glass order
ed large quantities of the blue
ware, the best of which is import
ed, and they are now making
enormous profits on their ■ invest'
ments.
A Paris Ball Dreia.
Luoy Hooper in one of her let
ters to the Philadelphia Telegraph
says:
“Ball dresses ore growing tight
er, not only as to their waists,
hut their skirts. Where does the
present fashion intend to step?
I recently taw a young Frenoh
lady at a party, in a gored Prin-
ccsBe dress of pale Balttton-color
silk, fitting as closely aud with
little fulness in the shirt as poss
