Tbe mteorip- 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.

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.
