MARY HARTWELL.
“Come oi.t here, George Burks. I’ut
that glass down— can’t wait a minute.
Business particular— concerns the com
pany.
“Now I’ve got you by the arm, boy.
I want to toll you something. Then if
ton want to go back into that saloon,
yi u may.
“I don’t often meddle in other folks’
business, do I ? Win n a tough old fel
low like me sets out to warn a body,
you may know its because he sees sore
need of it. I’ve had an eye on you
ever since the company promoted yon
to an engine, and I want yon In make
a fair trip of your life. You’re a line,
blight youngster, 1 and m‘t never say
tilings to compliment.
“Just takin drinks for good fellow
ship Yes, I know all‘bout thal.
Been there myself. Sit down on the
edge of the platform here.
“Of all men in the coild, I lake it,
engineeis ought to be the last to touch
the bottle. We have life and property
trusted to our hands uncommon. Ours
is a grand business, 1 don't think folks
looks at it as they ought to. Remem
ber when I was a young fellow like
yon, just set up with an engine, I used
to feel like a strong angel or somethin*
rushiii' . ver the country, maltin' that
iron beast do just as I wanted him to.
The power sort of' made me think fast,
square up and feel much of a man.
‘'l was duii/ well when I married,
and I did well long afterwards. We
had a nice home, the little woman and
tne : our beat Is were set on each other
and she was a little proud of her en
gineer. She used to say so anyhow.
She was sort of mild and tender with
her tongue. Not one of your loud ones.
And pretty, too. But you know what
it is to love a woman, George I3u ks,
I s.,w you walking with a blue-eyed
little thing last Sunday,
"And after a while we had Hie little
girl. How I felt when 1 came helm
and they put her into my arms the first
nine ! ] look'd sort of silly and sort
of glad ! .My wife, she just iangheo
out loud, to see me hand'e that little
thing so oihardly.
"I never liked little children much,
bull took totliatiun powcif.il. Every
body took lo her.
"George, boy, did you ?vor take tine
to go and peep at young ferns in the
spring? You see Vrn all doubled to
gether, like a tenuity fist. That’s what
she was tit first: all fist and squirm :
beauty curled up tight. Then they
unfold and spread out, and come up
bright ard delicate, and finer'n you can
pot into words. Thai’s just the way
she did. Every night I come home, 1
found her grovved add plumpened out
more. Used to toss her up, and she’d
squeal like a squirrel, and come down
on my face in fits of laughter
‘‘Oh, I daresn’t think about Iter cun
ningness 1 But the Very first word
she learned lo say, was ‘Papa !’
‘‘We talked a g. od deal about what
vve should call her, my wife and I. We
went clean through the Bible, and set
down all the fine story names we heard
o But nothin'seemed to suit. I used
to puzzle the whole length of my route
to find out a name fur that little girl.
My wife wanted to call her Eudora
Isabel. But that sounded like fulderol.
Then we had tip IlebecCur, and Maud
and Amanda Ann and what not. Fi
nally, whenever I looked at her, I
seemed to see "Katie." She looked
Katie, I took to callin' her Katie, and
she learned it, so Katie she was.
“1 tell you, George, that was a child
to be noticed ‘ Sbe was rounder and
prettier made ,n a wax figger, her eyes
was bigger and blacker'n any grown
woman's you ever saw, set like stars
under her forehead ! and her hair was
that light kind, that all runs to curls
and glitter.
"Soon's she con’d toddle, she used to
come dancin' to meet me. I've soiled
a many of her white pinafores, buryiii'
my face in them b fore I was washed,
and sort of prayin' soft like under tin.-
>ool of my lieai t, ‘God bless my baby
God bless my little lamb !'
"As slio grew older, I Used to talk
to her about engird—even t' ok her
into ray cab., and showed hoi the ‘tach
ments of the engine, and learned her
signals and such things. Sue luck
such an interest, and was the smartest
little tiling ! Seemed as if she had
always kunwed 'em She loved tli<-
oad. Remember once heating her siy
to a playmate, ‘ There's my papa. He's
an engineer. Don't you wish lie was
your | apit V
“My home was close by the track
Often and often the little gill stood in
our green yard, waving her mite of a
hand to me as we rushed by.
“Well, sir, them was happy years.
It most kills me to lm k over 'em now.
I was oin too well. Had an idea I was
a man made lo prosper, I felt good
to ail the world, and that 'nd b-rn vveli
i( l‘d showed my good fellowship some
other w..y. But men are fools, I was
so easy I couldn't refuse a social glass,
ami I was always fee toasting others.
Many's the tune we've stood, three or
four fools ol us, clinkin' our glasses
and di inkin' to brotherhood—drinkin'
thj very tin ig that m ule us fit for
anything but brothers It pie sed me
most, to have-tliem pledge my little girl.
And (lie more they'd toast her, the
deeper .I'd think. And was drinkin'
death lo her and damnation to me.
“I'll cut it i ff slinit. Didn't mean
to say but a few words to you, but I
got to tliiukin' so. Can't spin it out
much longer, or there'll be no man left
of me.
“Well, one day I started on my home
trip, full of that good fellowship you
was imbibing awhile ago. Made the
engine whizz ! We was awful jolly,
the fire.nan at.d me. Never was drunk
when I got on my engine before, or the
company would have sliij ped me
Wasn't no such time never made on
that read before nor since 1 had just
sense enough to know what I was
about, but not em ugh to handle an
emergency. We fairly roared down on
the trestle that stood at the entrance
of our town.
“I had a tipsy eye out, and, George,
as we wait: filin’ through the subuibs,
I see my little girl on the track ahead,
wavin' a red ll ig and stalnlin' stock
sliil I
“The air scorned full of Katies, I
could have Stopped the engine, if I’d
only had sense c: ongli to know what
'o lake I oij of to reverse hei I But
I was t o if. link. And that grand little
marl stood up~to it, trying to Warn us
in time, and We just swept right ahead
into a pile of ties s mi:; wretch had laid
on the track !—right over my baby !
Oil n y baby !Go away, George.
“There ! And do you want me. to tell
.you how the sight of that mangled lil
ilo mass killed her mother ? And and .
yon want ms to tell you I walk alive
to-day the.murderer of my own child,
who stood up to save me? And do
you want me to tell you the good fel
lowship yon were drinkin' a 'ldle ago
brought all this cn me?
“You'll let this pass by’ makiti' up
your mind to be moderate. Hope you
will. I was a moderate ‘an.
(0, God ! Oh, my baby !)
“I cah knock down any man twice
my 7 size for a good reason, George
Burks, but my heart just melts Lo wa
ter for that little girl.
“Dat Isii Gout.—As a gentleman
from New Yoik was taking a glass of
wine at the “St. Louis," corner of
Freeman and Hopkins streets, Ciuciri
nvtti, about three weeks ago, and ob
8-rved at another table, with sevetul
others, a Germ in who seemed uneasy
and anxious, as if there might have
bean a Franco-Prussian disturbance
between the beer and himself. Present
ly in ran a little girl, her face radiant,
with smiles, exclaiming:
“Oh, father! we’ve got a little baby
at Inline/"
“Dat ish gootf' said the Dutchman
as the anxiety disappeared from his
countenance. ‘ Fid up dor glasses*
Not many minutes elapsed befote in
rushed the little girl again with the
announcement:
“Oh, fathei! we’ve got two little
boys at home 1,,
The Dutchman looked a great deal
astonished, ami at all satisfied at this
family redndancy; blit rising at length
to the magnitude of the occasion, he
said:
„Yell, den, dat ish also goot. Fil
tip dor glasses’"
In a few niinutcts again appeared
the radiant messenger, with the as
st ouiiding proclamation:
“Oh, fathei! we’ve got three litt’e
boys at home!"
This vv is too much even for Teuton
ic impossibilities There was no fur
ther call for glasses.
“Yell, den," says he, “I gees up dere
and stop dec w ll ii.e rassess!'
A Defence >f Pretty Woman.
After all, is (lie world so very ab- I
surd in its love of pretty women? Is i
woman so very ridiculous in her chase i
after beauty? A prtt y woman is doing j
a woman’s vvoik in the wot Id, bet rot j
making speeches, nor making pudding,
but nuking 1 if: sunnier and more
beautiful. Man has fjn sworn the pur
suit of beauty altogether. Does he sei k
it for himself, be is guessed to b frivo- i
Intis, he is guessed to be poetic, there
are whispers that iiis morals are no
better than they should be. In >oei< tv
resolute In be ugly there is impost f.,i I
an Ad nis, but that ol a model oi ;
gu aid-man. But woman dot s for man
kind what man has ceased to do. Her
aim from childbeo I is to be beautiful
Even as a school girl site notes the pro
gress of her charms, tit • deepning color
ni Iter hair, the growing symmetry ol
her arm, die ripening color o' her
cheek. Wo wa clt, with silent interest
the mysterious reveries of the maiden;
she is dreaming of coming beauty, and
panting for the glories of eighteen. In
sensibly she becomes an artist, her
room is a studio, her glass is an a
cademy. The joys of her toilet is the
joy of Raphael over his canvass, of Mi
chael Angelo over his nimble. She is
c eating beauty in the silence and lone
liness of her chamber; she grows likt
any part of creation, the result of pa
tience, of hopes, of a thousand delicate
touchings and retouchings.
Woman is never perfec 1 , never. A
restless night undoes the beauty of die
day ; sunshine pirns the evancsent col
"ring of her checks; frost nips the ten
der outlines of her face into sudden
harshness. Care plows its lines across
her hr > w; motherhood destroys the
elastic lightness of tier form; the bioom
of her eyes fide and vanish as the
years go by. Bat worn in is still true
to her ideal. She invents new concep
tions of womanly grace; she rallies at
forty, and fronts us with the beauty of
womanhood; she in ikes a stand at sx
ly, with the beauty of age- She lads
like Crctar, wrapping her mantle a
- round her“bnried in w.oileji! ’twould a
| saint provoke!’’ D.’iUh listens pitifully
to the longings of a lifetime, and the
wrinkled face smiles with something of
die prettiness of eighteen.
Too Much f>r Dim. -A Gorrespi ndent
at Christiana, Pennsylvania, sends us
the following of an aged negress, very
pious, an inveterate smoker ; who
dropped in to pay a visit to a neighbor
who was equally well kn nvn as a tem
perance man and a hater of tobacco.
On setting down, the old aunty pulled
from her pocket a long pine and com
menced smoking, to the infinite disgust
of her host Ttie man maintained bis
composure several minutes; but the
fumes became too powerful for him,
and rising he said: Aunt Chloe, do you
think you are a good Christian? Yes,
br udder: I speck I is D > you believe
in the Bible? Yes, brulder, Do you
know there is a passage there which
says that nothing unclean shall inherit
the kingdom of heaven ? Yes, I lias
heard of it. Do you believe it ? Yes.
Well, Cliloe, you cannot enter the king
dom of heaven, because there is noth
ing so unclean as the breathof a smoker
What do you say to that? Why
when I goes to heaven, Ispelis to leave
my brt.ff behind me!
