A Petulant Passenger.

“Kind sir,” pleaded a fashionable lady to a palace-car conductor, “won’t yon please, please, please allow me to take my pet poodle in the car ?” “No, ma’am, can’t do it, ma’am. The company permits only one car pet in the coach, and that is on the floor now.” “Oh, you dear little angel I” sobbed the lady, as she kissed the poodle’s nose, “the wicked man will make you ride in the baggage-car, Pet!” and, filled with anguish, she entered the coach, sadly, sorrowfully and alone.— The Hoosier. People are commonly so employed in pointing out faults in those before them as to forget that some behind may at the same time be discanting on their own.— Dillwyn.
