BAGGAGE TRAIN.

From the School Monthly. THE KE AWARD OF COURTESY. ,; 1 ' A TRCB ACCOUNT. A few years since, on a radisint spring afternoon, two men, who from their conversation appeared to be foreigners, stopped before the gate of one of the large workshops in Philadelphia for the manufacture of locomotives. . Entering a small office, the elder of the two men inquired of the superintendent inaltendance, if he would per--. mlt them to inspect the works. "Yon can pass in and look about, if you please," said the superintendent, vexed, apparently, at being interrupted in the perusal of his newspaper. He then scanned the two strangers more closely. They were respectably but plainly clad, and evidently made no pretension to official dignity of any kind. " Is there any one who can show us over the establishment, and explain matters to us? " asked Mr. Wolf, the elder of the strangers "You must pick your own way, gentlemen," replied the superintendent; "we are nil too busy to attend every party that comes along. I'll thank you not to iuterrupt the workmen by asking question. s" It was not so much the matter ns the manner of this reply that was offensive to Mr. Wolf and his companion. It was spoken with a certain official assumption of superiority, mingled with contempt for the visitors, indicating a haughty and selfish temper on the part of the speaker. " I think we'll not trouble you," said Mr. Wolf, bowing; and, taking his companion's arm, they passed out. "If there's anything I heartily dislike,, it is incivility." said Mr. Wolf, when they were in the street. " I do not blame that man for not wishing to show us over his establishment; he is no doubt annoyed and interrupted bp many heedJess visitors; but he might have dismissed us with couriesey. He might have sent us away better content with a gracious refusal than with an ungracious consent." "Perhaps," said the stranger, "we should have better luck here;" and they stopped before another workshop of a similar kind. They were received by a brisk little man, the head clerk, apparently, who, in reply to their request to be 'shown over (he establishment, answered, "0, yes! come with me, gentlemen. This way ! " So sying, he hurried them along an area strewed with iron bars, broken and rusty wheels of iron, fragments of old boilers and cylinders, into the principal workshop. Here, without stopping to explatn any one thinif, he led the strangers alonar with the evident intention of getting rid of them as soon as possible. When they paused at a place where workmen were riveting the external casing of a boiler, the clerk looked at his watch, tapped his right foot against an iron tube, and showed other signs of impatience; whereupon Mr. Wolf remarked, "We will not detain you longer, sir," and then, with his friend took leave. "That man is all an improvement on the other," said Mr. Wolf; " but all the civility he has is on the surface; it does not come from the heart. We must look further." The strangers walked on for nearly half an hour in silence, when one of them pointed to a humble sign, with a picture of a locomotive engine and a train of cars underneath. It overtoped a small building not more than ten feet in height, communicating with a yard and workshop. " Look," said the observer; " here is a machinist whose name is not on our list." Probably it was thought too small a concern for our purpose," said his companion. "Nevertheless, let us try it," said Mr. Wolf. They entered, and found at the desk a middleaged man, whose somewhat griromy aspect and the apron around his waist, showed that he divided his time between the workshop and the counting-noom. "We want to look over your works, if you have no objections," said Mr. Wolf. "It will give me great pleasure to show you all there is to be seen," said the machinest, with a pleased alacrity, ringing a bell, . and telling the boy who entered, to take charge of the office. .' He then led the way, and explained to the strangers the whole process of constructing a locomotive engine ; he showed them how the various parts of the machinery were manufactured, and patiently answered all their questions. He told them of an improved mode of tubing boilers, by which the power of producing steam was increased, and showed with what care he provided

for security from bursting. Two hours passed rapidly away. The strangers were delighted with the intelligence displayed by the mechanic, and with his frank, attentive, and unsuspicious manners. " Here is a man who Joves his profession so well, that he takes pleasure in explaining its mysteries to all who can understand them," thought Mr. Wolf. " I am afraid we have given you a good deal of trouble," said the other stranger. " Indeed, gentlemen, I have enjoyed your visit," said the mechanic, "and shall be pleased to see you again." "Perhaps you may, "said Mr. Wolf, and the strangers departed. . Five months afterward, as the mechanic, whose means were quite limited, sat in his office meditating how hard it was to get business by the side of such large establishments ns were his competitors, the two strangers entered. He gave them a hearty welcome, handed chairs, and all sat down. "We come," said Mr. Wolf, "with a proposition to you from the Emperor of Russia to visit Petersburg-," "From the Emperor? impossible ! " " Here are our credentials." But, gentkmen," said the now agitated mechanic, "what does this mean? How have I earned such an honor ? " "Simply by your straightforward courtesy and frankness, combined with professional intelligence," said Mr. Wolf. " Because we were strangers, you did not think it necessary to treat us with distrust or coldness. You saw we were interested in acquainting ourselves with your works, and you did not ask us, before extending to us your civilities, what letters of introduction we brought. You measured us by the spirit we showed, and not by the dignities we could have exhibited." . The mechanic visited St. Petersburgh, and, soon afterward, removed his whole establishment there. He had imperial orders for as many locomotive engines as he could consti uct. He rose rapidly to opulence. He has lately returned to his own country, and is still receiving large re-" turns from his Russian workshops. And all this prosperity grew out of his unselfish civility to two strangers, one of whom was the secret agent of the Emperor of Russia. Goinq to " Spread Herself." As a newly married couple, evidently from the country, were promenading Montgomery street, last evening, their curiosity was suddenly aroused by the appearance of some mysterious looking articles dangling in a large show window. They eyed them with the deepest concern, first on one side and then on the other, until atjast the husband having completely exhausted his imaginative powers, drawled out . .. "Well, Sal, consarned my pictur ef them aint

G

the cussedest lookin' things I ever hearn tell of.'

Then twistinsr himself about, and giving the con tents of the window another look, he added : "What on airth kin they be ! " "What do you guess the darned things are ? "Why, Jake, don't you know, krineline and hoops! " Du tell ! " ejaculated Jake softly. , " Them'i 'era, is they I " and he again ran his eyes about the strange apparel. " I think they are so sweet," ventured Sal when at the same moment, a lady dressed in the very height and breadth of the lashin, brushed along. : Jake had seen enough. His mind was made up Sal must have a 'krineline.' Without saying word he started to enter the store, but was stop ped at the door by her, with all sorts of entreat ies not to carry the joke any farther. But Jake was determined. He had taken a fancy to the goods, and could not rest until his better half was supplied with them. She drew back, but it was of no avail. He gathered her arm tightly in his own, and making a long stride into tne estaDiisii ment, exclaimed "Come along, old gal, you're my wife now and if you shan't spread yourself!" San Francisco Globe. ' - A ROMANTIC STORY. Some twenty years ago, a young man whom shall call 'Jamie,' was pastor of a large congre galion of the established church of Scotland. At school and at college he was distinguished for his love of learning, and as a minister was unrivaled for his eloquence and mental attainments. He had been settled about a year, and was upon the eve of being married to a fine young woman whom he had loved from childhood, when the her itors and several English gentlemen, who were then on a visit to the North, attended kirk to hear the famous preacher. He more than verified his fame; he enraptured his audience. His theme was the story of Ins church. Its many years ot dis astrous wars, its martyrs, its heroes, its undying hopes, even when despair seemed to shroud it in endless night; Us unwearied toils and its hnal tn umph were each in turn presented to the minds of the hearers, with a power and feeling that de fy description. He stood the genius of eloquence personified. But there was one among ins hear ers who was not bewildered by his glowing pic ture. The gentle hearted Belle, his betrothed, when the congregation dispersed, followed him to the manse. He received her in his study, but while conducting her to the chair, she sank to the floor, and burst into tears. "0 Jamie ! " she exclaim ed, as he raised her tenderly in his arms, and seated her on a sofa, "ye hae broken my puir heart! "How so my belle; explain. "Ye were drunk, raving drunk, Jamie, and I wonder the elders did nae take ye out o' the pulpit ! Ye whined and ranted, and sometimes, God forgive me for saying so, I thought L saw the .Evil One standing beside you, laughing and clapping you on the shoulder. My puir brain reeled I was mad and knew it I'm mad now and canna live out this day I feel my blood freeze O, God, be merciful to me a sinner, and have, O, save my Jamie! Her head reclined upon his bosom, she gazed upon him for a moment, and expired in his arms. He had preached his last sermon. No entreaties of a congregation who loved him of flattering offers of future preferment tendered by the gentry, could induce him to resume his labors as minister. " . ' Five or six years passed, when the writer of this, who was his school-fellow, met him in London, he was then one of the principal teachers in a large educational establishment, and was highly esteemed for his morfll excellence of character, as well as his learning and skill as a successful teacher. He was dressed in deep mourning, shunned society; when the labors of the day closed, he either wandered alone through the streets, or retired to his lodgings. The scene of Belle's death was ever present to his memory. Her pure soul, he said, saw him as he was, a poor, vein, self-conceited sinner. For the purpose of concentrating his thoughts and infusing life into his sermons, he was in the habit of taking a glass of whisky before entering the pulpit. The morning before he preached the fatal sermon he knew there would be strangers to hear him, and he took nearly two glasses. . What he said, or how he conducted himself, no effort could recall the death of Belle alone had merged into itself the doings of that fearful day. The compliments which he received sounded in his ears like satire and mockery, and the very name of liquor impressed him with horror. , He left home and came to London, where he obtained a situation as teacher; but everything appeared so black to him that he expressed fear that he should, in some unguarded moment, destroy himself. His friend, who was a sailor, suggested some active employment, that would call into play his physical faculties, and thus give his mind a spell, and ended by offering to procure him a place before the mast in .a ship. " I like your suggestion," he said, " but do not like the sea." "Then turn soldier and seek employment in India, where there always is plenty of fighting." "I will," he said, springing from his chair, "when my engages ment expires I will purchase an ensign's commission. 1 wonder the thought never suggested itself to me, for my ancestors, as far back as I can trace them, were soldiers. Better, far better, die on the field of battle, than fall by one's own hand." We separated. A few weeks since, in running my eye along the list of those who had distinguished themselves at the battle of Inkermann, 1 saw the name of Lieut. Col. . A letter from liny friend has since informed me that he had served in India under Lord Gough, and was promoted for his gallant conduct in three campaigns. He was present at the Alma, Balaklava, and Inkermann, and at last accounts was in good health, engaged in the siege of Sebastopol. He was still single; " his heart was dead to love ! " Boston Atlas. A School Excuse. "Jem," said the master, "you were not in school yesterday." "No,, sir, here's 'scuce mother sent." at the same time holding out a slip of paper, on which was written the following Egyption hieroglyphics: "yept alum to go a later my.
