FI‘HE FREIGHT TRAIN OF LIFE.
Men are like a trainof cars
That rumble on the track
With many curves and many jars.
And many drawing back.
Some are the engines that must pull
Upon the heavy grade,
And some are empty, some are full-
Each for its uses made.
Some seem to slide along the way,
With never a squeak or jolt,
And some go creaking as if they
Were sore in every bolt.
And some are billed to go through straight.
And one is here and there
To be left on some switch and wait
In gloomy days or;falr. ~
Men are as cars that rumble past.
Each has its place and; use;.
The engine at the head and last
The pitiful caboose.

Being thus rudely Assailed, this per-
son swore roundly. “I perceive,” he
said to the Youth, who was named
Percival, “that you are one 'vvhose‘Call-
1T CHANGED that a Youth of Parts,
ing is that of an Husbandman. I am
enabled to predict this with the more
Assurance as you have neglected to re-
move from your hair the Seed, fallen
from the last wainload of Bay that you
Pitched. Is it not ungrateful in you to
Close the Eyes wherewith Heaven has
blessed you as you walk abroad? Con-
sider, I beg, whether the Corns of your'
Fellow Beings are not worthy of your
Respect and whether you do not merit
Chastisement at my Hands.”
This address the Citizen delivered
with every mark of the liveliest Dis-
pleasure, but he appeared incapable of
prosecuting his implied threat of Vio-
lence, as he was compelled to stand up-
on one Foot,while henursed in his hands
the Other upon which Percival had
stepped.
“Sir,” said Percival, “I pray you to be-
lieve it was with no malicious Purpose
that I trod upon your Toe, and it grieves
me out of measure that I should have
caused you Pain. Being newly come
from an lnconsiderableHamlet, I was in
truth amazed at the tallness of the
structures which adorn this Thorough—
fare and looked rather at their nine-
teenth stories than upon my path, not
considering those whom I might inad-
vertently Encounter.”
“I am persuaded that you intended no
Incivility,” said the Citizen, abatlng as
he spoke the Resentment expressed in
his countenance. “And now thatI look
more closely at you I seem: to recog-
nize the features of one for whom I en-
terta‘ined a. feeling of Great Regard.
Can it be that you are the son of my
worthy old Friend and Benefactor?”
“I am indeed the son of Josiah Bean-
hill, of Daleville,” the ingenious youth
replied. .
At this disclosure the Citizen, who
said that he'was called Samuel Stacked-
hand, professed that he was transported
with Pleasure and informed Percival
that during his sojourn in the Town it
would afiord him uncommon gratifica-
tion to be of service. “I am,” he said,
“a man of Substance and my Wealth oc-
casions me much Uneasiness. I have
long so‘ught some deserving person up-
on whom I could bestow my riches, rc-
serving only a. modest competence.
which with Frugality, might sustain
the Necessities of my declining Years.
I am assured that you are Temperate,
Prudent, Grateful and Confiding, for
these virtues my old Friend Beanhll'
.mn‘wsean «r- e <~uo
possessed most notably.
with you at the first.”
“Nay, dear sir,” said Percival. “ ’Twas
pure accident, as I have said.”
“I meant,” explained Master Stacked-
hand, “that your Demcanor impressed
me. I had no reference to the Impact.
I thought I discerned in you the quali-
ties I desired in my Hair. I am now
convinced, my dear Percival, that my
Observation was correct.”
Saying which the Beneficent Stranger
Clapped Percival upon the back in an
afiectionate Manner and received with
a smiling countenance the fervid Ex-
pressions of Gratitude to which the
Youth ‘g‘ave Uttcrance. As they pro-
ceeded Master Stackedhand spOke with
Gravity concerning the Seductions of
the Town, and warmly denounced the
laxity of its Civic Officers, who, he said,
permitted the Promptings cf Ambition
and Cupidity to stifle within "their
Breasts the consciousness of their Sa-
cred Oblig‘a'tions to the Community. Be

“I observe,” sn‘id Stacked hand, smiling
with Approval, “that you are a Youth

is, it must be confessed, Superfluous. I
beg‘that you will, at my Expense, allow
our Friend to refill your Glass.”
“It is my Custom,” said Percival, “but
I am assured that my Father’s Friend
would not counsel me to Excess, and in
truth the Beverage has an agreeable
Twang.” .
“And now,” said Master Stackcdhand,
laughing merrily, “I greatly desire that
you should afford me proofs that you
credit my Protestations of Esteem.
’Tis indeed from no doubt that I Enter-
tain of your Reliance upon my Integ-
rity, but as a matter of Form and Cere-
mon y, which I have always purpose-d to
impose upon the person I should select
as my Heir. I'have here, as you Per.-
ceive, a. large sum of Money, and I pro-
pose that you shall intrust me with
what sums you may have in your Pos-
session and suffer me to leave you for a
short space of Time. On my Return I
shall know how to Reward your Faith
in my Honor.”
“I am vastly obliged to you for your
Generous Intention,” returned Percival,
“but for the present Time we must De-
fer the Test to which you were about to
subject me. This is not because of any
doubt I have that you would Return,
but because I am nnhappily Devoid of
Means. Your kindness to me encour-
ages me to prefer a request which in
ordinary Diflidencc would have forbid-
den. If you will advance me Ten Cents
from the Roll you have Displayed to
pay my Car Fare to my Lodging you
may rely upon my Gratitude.”
At this Master Stackedhand fell un-
accountably into a Great Passion and
addressed the Amazed Youth in such op-
probrious Terms and with Gestures so
Furious that he removed himself from
the Inn lest he should receive a Mis-
chief.
'th no sooner did Percival regainthe

of his Disposition (which had been

Samuel Stackedhand) asserted itself.

TOO MUCH wmsxv.~
. An Ex'orbltant Demand For Flu-e-
\ water at a Soldiers’ Home.
,ALBANY, J an. 24.—State Comptroller
William J. Morgan has been giving spe-
cial attention of late to the very large
amount of liquors consumed in the hos-
|
‘ pital at the ‘Soldicrs‘, home at Bath. It
appears that from three to six times as
much liquor was being consumed in the
hospital at Bath as in the hospitals con-
nected with other soldiers’ and sailors’
homes throughout the Country. Former-
ly three barrels a month were called for,
and during five months of the past year
tvvo barrels were allowed. The average
soldiers’ homeshas been: Bath, .65 gal-
lon; Dayton, .18 gallon; Milwaukee, .25
gallon, and Hampton, .10 gallon.
It will be seen froth this that the
amount consumed at' Bath is over six
times as much as at the home at Dayton,
the largest soldier's’ home in the country.

A Mysterious Skeleton.
UXBRIDGE,.Mass., Jan. 24.—Many
theories are being advanced to account
for the presence of the mysterious skele-
ton found on the Scott farm. Anthony
Mondevillc of \Voonsocket, R. I., visited
the town, thinking the remains might be
those of his son Henry, who escaped
from the Spencer town farm last July
while insane and has not been seen since.
Maudevillc was unable to identify the
clothing, but the general proportions of
the skeleton are those of his son. Resi—
dents of Uxbridge connect the find with
the disappearance of Daniel Deady, an
ccCcntric character who lived in the
woods and was last seen near the spot in
question about a year ago. Still others

which were found near thesame spOt

Stole a Sack of Gold.
CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—Clyde “Tallace
was held to the'federal grand jury in
$7,500 bonds on the charge of stealing a
sack of gold from the United States sub-
treasury in Chicago, in which he was :1
clerk. Government ofliccrs who told of an
alleged confession made by Wallace de-
clared he had asserted he received an ex-
cess of $5,000 in gold' when he made re-
quisition on the vault clerk for $100,000
to be counted and that while this was
evidently an error on the part of the vault
clerk it had placed him in the way of
temptation, and he had secreted the extra
sack. \Vhe’n he had taken out a few gold-
pieces from time to time and could not
replace them, it is said he put the partly
tilled sagk in his pockets and spent the
money in‘ gambling and on the races.
Jamaica Rejects Chamberlain’s Plan.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Jan. 23.—Ja-

trade scheme to divert the bulk of the
colony’s trade from America to England,
which calls for a subscription of £40,000
annually, Jamaica paying one-half. The
consensus of public opinion replying to
the governor’s plebiscitic circular indi-
cates a preference to depend on Ameri-
can trade, because the merchants are
confident they canconvince the Ameri-
can opponents of reciprocity that Jamai-
can interests do not conflict with theirs,
while the colony’s future is involved in
American trade relations.

Says the Westporter-Herald: There
is another change in trolley service
between Bridgeport and Norwalk. But
when you think of it, changes in the
service of this line occur often. The
latest. thing the Norwalk people made
their patrons do was to stand beside a
painted pole if they wished the car to
stop'for them. Now the Traction Com-
pany is going to run its cars across
the State street. bridge and meet. the
one from Norwalk at. the corner of
Riverside avenue and State street.
It is supposed this is done to save
time as it seems hard work for the
Norwalk car to arrive in time for the
Bridgeport. car. -
Patrons from the east. side of
indge must. now either walk to the
west. side and Lake the Norwalk car
or pay an additional fare of five cents.
The companies may think this late
arrangement. is all right but. the major-
ity of the patrons say its all wrong.
