Going one day to lake the cars for
Burlington Lowa, I found them nearly
full, but sauntering through one of
the pleasantest, I perceived two unoc
cupied seats, each being by the side of
a fashionably dressed young lady.—
One of these looked somewhat pale
and languid, but the other was a bril
liant, sparkling brunette, so that it
did not take me long to decide which
I should honor with my distinguished
attentions. Making a courtly bow,
(I pride myself upon my elegant de
portment) I asked in the most insinuat
ing manner, for permission to seat
myself beside her.
“ Certainly, sir,” she replied, with
a smile of bewildering sweetness ; so
with the usual grimace of deprecating
assurance, I prepared to make her ac
quaintance immediately.
“ Would you prefer the window
raised ?” I inquired in my blandest
tones, receiving iu return another
smile that just about completed the
havoc she had already made of my
young affections. This, of course, led
to an original treatise upon the weath
er, past, present and future, and just
as the conversation was getting to be
more personal and interesting. Jack
Marcy opened the door in front of us.
That fellow is a regular Marplot; he
always says just the thing you do not
want him to, and appears at the very
time of all others that you would
prefer him to be a thousand miles off.
I always feel cold chills creeping over
me when I see his face, for I know
that something most horrible, most
diabolical, will imitiediately follow;
and my fears were fully verified, t
had been troubled for several weeks
with an eruption on my face that in
jured my beauty and wounded my
self-love sadly, and I did not enjoy
any allusion to it.
Hello, Stacy!” he roared, and he
had a voice like all the bulls of Bash-
an. “ What’s the matter with your
face ? Small-pox, he ?” inquired, in
a whisper that could have been heard
all over the car. “ I heard you were
having it pretty badly in Chicago.
The charming brunette gave a faint
little shriek and a wild leap, and the
rtunphieu containing many uatunaniaw. with pj ace beside me that a moment before

of genuine ardor ami enthusiasm in
regard to this pale, gentle-looking girl.
How canid I ever have passed her by
fortbat showy brunette, when I always
preferred blondes, anyway ?
Then a happy thought occurred to
me. Will Dallas, a friend of mine,
boarded in Aurora, and was well ac
quainted thefre, so I would happeu into
his office, somrdays, and find out who
this young lady was. It is needless to
relate that I happened into that office
very soon afterward, and enquired if
he knew a delicate-looking lady in the
town where he lived, who taught music
iu Chicago.
“ O, it must be Miss Ford you mean;
she has faded very much of late, al
though still pretty and interesting.*
“■ With beautiful teeth and dim
ples ?”
“ Tho very same.” And when I
related tl»e circumstance above describ
ed, he was thoroughly convinced that
Miss Ford and my little music teacher
were one and the same. The follow
ing week I bad occasion to travel the
road again, and I managed to go the
same-day that I went before. I as
sumed a careless air as I marched
through the cars, but my eyes were
wide open to obtain a sight of my fair
beauty, and it was not long before
discovered her. But alas! seated by
her side and chatting merrily, was the
handsome brunette. It was too late
to retreat, so with a face flaming red,
I passed by, hoping that they wonld
not recognize me. Catch them not
doing it. Their bright eyes danced
wickedly.at the first glimpse of ray face,
aud I heard a suppressed giggle as I
rushed out of the car. Feeling like a
culprit, I took refuge in the smoker’s
sanctuary, and indulged in a pensive
cigar. I remained in obscurity until
we had passed Aurora.
The next time I saw Dallas, I told
him of my unfortunate experience,
which seemed to amuse him much
more than it did me.
That brunette,” he said, “ must be
bliss Arnold, she is a merry girl, and
an intimate friend of Miss Ford’s.—
Quite pretty, but rather a doll face.”
“ O, yes,” I rejoined, heartily,
evidently an empty-headed girl.”
Tlie next morning I met my friend
again, and much to my surprise, he
stopped me short'with the announce
ment ; “ That dark young lady hap
pens to he Miss Kirby, and let me tell
you that her head is no more empty
than yours is, Frederick Stacy.”
“O, indeed !” I ejaculated “ Lies
Mbs Paid, tte’aiuie 'tttektt?* she
enquired in return.
“ He supposed so, from my descrip
tion of you.” 1 ■;
“ I should like to have heard your
description, then,” she said. “ Why,
Miss Ford is ten years older than I am,
much better looking, when she is not
all tired out.* t i . . if,, t .tq

by the presence of youthful beauty,
was now lonely and vacant.
“ Stop, please stop,” I said, as soon
as I could collect my bewildered senses;
but it was to a deaf ear that I appeal
ed. The frightend girl ran on to the
extreme end of the car, and stood be
side the dooi, until the speed at which
we were going should be relaxed suffi
ciently to enable her to take refuge in
the next car. ~ ,i , r
“ You great, blundering booby 1
said to Mary. “You everlasting”—
but happening then to glance toward
the pale young lady, who had before
this been completely engrossed by the
book she was reading, I saw that she
was absolutely convulsed by one of
those paroxysms of laughter which
is quite impossible ever to restrain or
control. But how pretty she' looked 1
her cheeks wore now flushed, and such
teeth, aud bewitching dimples 1 I won
dered how I could have thought her
uninteresting. Her mirth was so con
tagious that I began to laugh too, and
Marey soon joined with his gruff ha w-
haw. I did not dare, however, make
any effort toward farther acquaintance,
nor indeed did I have time, for she got
off the caw at Aurora, and as she pass
ed out, gave me such a saucy, fare

vinced that it is always wisest to keep
one’s criticisms to one’s self, I walked
It was several weeks before I travel
ed the same road again, but then I
had much better luck, for I saw Miss
Ford sitting all by herself. I touched
my hat to the young lady, and receiv
ing a very polite bow in return, al
though her eyes danced with the same
quizzical expression as before, I seated
myself immediately behind her. Then
I racked my brain for something to
say, but my mind was a complete
blank. All at once the fruit boy ap
peared*, aud I could have hugged him
on the spot. Buying a dozen apples,
I leaned forward, and in the most
enticing tones, begged that she would
accept some of them. Nothing short
of a petrifaction could haye resisted me
at the moment, and certainly not an
appreciative soul like hers. So with
a charmingsmile, she- graciously ac
cepted a few. Then the floods of so
cial eloquence broke loose, and we
were soon talking gaily. ‘
“ Well you think it very impertin
ent in me,* I asked, " if I confess that
I have learned all about you ?”
« Oh, no; I shall feel highly flattw
ed thatyoii'tookthe trouble to find
out,” te* replied demurely. “But

self—'
“ You are very cruel—**
“ Not at all; but it is dreadfully im
prudent to tell such things to a strang
er,” she said, with the demure look
that was as captivating even as her
laughter, and by the time we reached
Aurora I had lost my heart irrevoca
bly, and was consequently dying with
curiosity to discover the real name of
my charmer.
‘ That isn’t Mks Ford,” I exclaim
ed, as I burst into his office one morn
ing, rushing almost into his arms.
“ Hang Miss Ford I Stacy, don’t
kuock me down t"
Well, then, tell me who it is—you
know of course.”
I am afraid you will feel badly if
I tell you. It will probably dampen
your ardor, when you know that the
object of your adoratieu is only a poor
little sewing girl.”
“ It cannot be, Dalibs ; you are still
mistaken in the person. She bad all
the air and manner of a lady, accustom
ed to the very best society.”
“ Pshaw! Stacy ; a quick-witted girl
can catch that manner so much easier
thau we blundering male fellows can..
Then she is petted a great deal by all
the young ladies, and treated quite as

I had aristocratic notions, it must
be acknowledged, having imbibed
them in early infancy, from my mo
ther, and my ardor was, os Dallas had
intimated, somewhat dampened ; but
when I saw the young girl again, look
ing so bright, ami sweet, and pretty,
I could not resist once more claiming
her acquaintance.
“ Have you found out my real
name now?” she enquired mischievoua-
iy-
“ Yes, indeed, I have.”
“ What is it ?”
“ Miss Emma Allen,* I replied
confidently.
A queer look passed over her lace,
half annoyance, half amusment.
“ And, of course, you know also
that I sew for a living.”
“ So Dallas told me.” , *
“ I hope you do not think any the
less of me for that,” she said, with a
deprecating look that moved me
strangely.

“ What are you going to do?”

“ Won’t I ? Does she go to Chica

Not heeding her caution^ however,
the ensuing Friday I went ou bound*
the train, provided with the linen,.as
I had. threatened, and ‘found. Miss
Irwin, in her.accustomed seat, looking
prettier than ever before. It was a
face that improved so much upon ac
quaintance. She smiled a cordial
welcome, and I sat down beside her.
“ Miss Allen,” I said, after a while,
inwardly trembling at my own impu
dence,. “ will you do me a favor?”
Certainly * she replied, “ if 1 can
do it.”
“ I have some handkerchiefs in my-
pocket, that I shall always value very
highly if your engagements will allow
you to hem them for me. Then I
shall have something to remember you

The color rushed to her cltceks„ and.
she was fibout to make an angry re
monstrance ; then recollecting her
self in time, she’ said with the
utmost gravity, “ I "ill do them, of
course, that is,if the terms please you.”
“ (X that is of nn consequence,” I
replied, hurriedly.
“ But I consider it of very great
consequence. It meane bread and
butter, and, (extending a lovely little
foot for my inspection) and dresses,
and side curls—I charge two. dollars a
handkerchief.”
“ Very well,” I said, trying to speak
seriously, but in spile of all my efforts
I had to laugh,, and the young lady,
also, although she tried os hard as I
did to prevent her gravity.
Finally she said:
“.It ia of no use trying to carry on
the joke any further, Mr. Stay. You
have found me out, but I will hem
the handkerchiefs and ?mark them

methods by which people attempt to
shield themselves from the danger of

our readers. Fear is a great magnifier
of danger, and people seldom think
that there is more danger, as an Eng

railroad than during the heaviest thun
der storm. Most of the dangers from
lightning can be avoided by paying at
tention to well known rules of sarctyl

instead of preventing it as ascending

that lying ’ Upon several •niattres&ri

been killed while endeavoring to shield
themselves in this manner. 1 • !t will be
