since, soon after tint
oiKsnteyof tl 'Norwich ihvl Wnm
ter Bailr.md. a stout looking inno
cent, abbut six feet in hi* stoeklnn -,
with thews ami thighs to mnteli,
stood in the depot at Woroestor, az
iiiK with evident admiration at the
“bran new ears''und "snorting” lo
oomotive inti eh had just arrived at
that Station. A. roguish citizen who
stood near him, watched iiis undis
guised wonder attentively, and draw
ing near, entrre I into conversation
with him. He was “down from Ver
mont, arter work, and wanted to get
a ehunee on one o’ these railroads.”
“Dili”said the joker, “why don't
you go and see the suiK-rintendent V”
"Waal, would it' I knew wliero to
find him.”
“Oh, well, eomo along with mo:
I’m going right by bis oflioo.”
And aeeordinglv off went the twain
straight to the store to that demurest
of all hoaxers, Jem li.. who stood
like a patriarchal sfidor waiting for
an unsophisticated human lly that
migltt flounder in his net.
“Ah!” said the wag who acted as
pilot, “there lie is. Here’s u young
man.Mr.il.. who wants n berth on
the road as braketnau. "
.Tent was posted i mined i.e ly.
"Well, I diin t know , w e'v. had u
great many applications for the post;
and, In fact, engaged ti limit to go out
upon this train, but us he was not up
to his engagement, I will talk to you.
Have you been accustomed to rail
reading ?”
“W-a-a-1, no, ! hain’t, but i guess
I could learn it mighty soon ; what’s
the wagesf"
“Thirty-six dollars a month and
your clothes."
"W'-u-a-l. mister, I’tn nnuly, ef you
say wo, to take right hold."
"Very well; then I'll send you out
on this train ; hui J w ish to put you
on your guard with reference to one
matter, and that is there is u I rouble
some set of fellows continually hang
ing around the train, pretending to
belongtothe road. Some of them
may interfere with you if they do,
put them off at once tell them I pm
you on the train, and take no impu
dence from any of them. As to your
duties—when you hear one whistle,
screw on\mir breaks ; if two ulunns
are sounded. screw them down hard;
and when three are given, loosen Hie
breaks for the train to go on. You
return here to-night and t hen I will
see about your boarding place.
Aocoidjugty down they went to the
station, and there the pretended su
perintendent shone I hi employee
the brakes anil mode of using them,
leaving hint with a fre.Ht injunction
to “knockdown anvone w honttempt
ed to iutei'iia with him."
Before many minutes the Vermon
ter had a customer Tin- whistle
sounded and on went t lie l>rnke ..
“What are you doing there with
that brah ' shunted a legit inmt<
Itrakeman. “jump off'there in a hut
ry, if you don’t want your head
broke,”
Jonathan looked at lib Hide Intel
rogator (a small man.iwitii coutenipt,
but disdained to reply.
“3-h-ree ! who-o n.0,” went the
whistle, and the new brake man
screwed away for life, until snap,
went the chain.
This was the cup too mneli, and off
went tlie Imfuriated hruk< man for
assistance.
“What tie you doing t here?" a-ked
the eonduelor. who returned with the
man, ami stepping upon the plat
form, placed 1 1 is; hands ort Jonathan,
with a view of summary ejectment.
A brief struggle ensued, at on
elusion of which the conductor lay
prostrate upon hi s bauk. with the
small brftketimn’s hi a ijanic lb 'tween
his legs.
"Conte on, ye damned In athon’s 1”
Shouted Jonathan, now fairly aeon,
ed; “come on, I’ll lain ye to cut up
your didos around me. I'm hired, I
be; Mr. hired me for this bus
loess, and if 1 don’t learn veto tend
to your own business, it'll be coa yer
stonter’n i be.”
A fresh struggle ensued between
our horn and some half do/e n othei -
employed on the t rain, who had gat it
tmsj around, and Jonathan vva- li
naliy Ovi rpowered, when an explana
tion took place, and the “.-uperiidea
dent’k’’ store was sought, for, but could
not be found, as the incorrigible wag
was not so incautious a.* to make tin
engagement in his own store; and.
although he was Btronglv suspected
of being the author of the practical
joke, l)o proof could lie had ; for, by a
shrewd management of tin- face and
cool assurance, hidden by a different
dress, he succeeded in arguing Jona
than out of the supposition, t.fie latter
having charged him with the joke.
The best purt of the joke was the
denouement. The actual superin
tendent bearing of tin' affair, and of
the Indomitable pluck displayed by
the Vermonter, sent for lum and did
actually engage hint, and it is said
that he now fills a satisfactory’ post
upon one of the great Western rail
ways.
But such jokes being serious with
six-footers. Jem has been compelled
to forego similar limit! •* from that
day to this.
Is rr Wof.th WhiukV—And is it
worth while to take all the sunshine
out of life for the sake of a few mis
erable dollars? Meat and groceries
and coal and clothing are not all of
life. It we restrict ourselves to these,
and shut out music and pictures, and
the Inspire l things that cultivate Hie
(esthetic side of our nature, we shall
be economical at the cost of dwarfing
our moral and intellectual nature.
And after we have done lids for a long
series of years, and go reached middle
age with a fair balance in the bank,
we shall then find ourselves unfitted
to enjoy the pleasures that money
will buy. We shall have kept the
dusty road so long that when we
finally turn aside into the groves and
the brook-side, our eyes will be in no
condition to see the beauties around
us. Is it not better to live while we
do live, to give roeej brightness mid
color to bur daily lives, even if by so
doing we fail to Increase our hoarded
Hdvhigs quite ns mptdiy as we other
wise might? Is economy quite worth
thesa rilii'e of everything that makes
life other than a dull and dismal
drudgery? A wise expenditure of
money for the good things of life is
really" the best economy.
Avery clever way of getting rid of
obstacles is that of the proposed mar
riage of young King Alfonso, with the
daughter of Lion Carlos. It is staid
that in this event Don Carlos will
withdraw his claims to the Spanish
throne.
