A Glad Meeting.

A favored few who happened to be at the Union Depot on a certain day last week, were witnesses of a charming little 9cene that will lie long borne in pleasant remembrance. The usual miscellaneous crowd was assembled waiting for the tram from the East, aha among the pebple was a group of girls,, ope of whom ni so restless, and eager, and pretty in her watchfulness fliM she could not have sSM more plainly in words that she did by her acisssar fivwtf <n& rumbled into the depot, and apfctmnt. : looking elderly gentleman and lady, evidently husband mid wife; rfetumlng from a foreign tow, appeared among the passengers. As they stepped from the car the hy-standers were Conscious of a rush, and a flutter of muslin, and parasol, and hat, and handkerchief, and all that goes to makeup the toilet of the mundane angel, aocotupanjed by the prettiest little Scream imaginable, half: jcry, half laugh, and the girl, almost a woman, threw herself into the old lady's anna and sobbed, “ Mother!mother! mother!” as if her heart were breaking; and yet not a soul there but’ knew tlie fullness of her joy, and sympathized with it.' It was simply a pretty and natural thing, naturally and prettily done 1 —the one touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. —Cleveland Herald. —Air laden with coal dust is highly explosive. -~.r: - ■
