'THE PARLOR CAR FARCE.

[Continued from last Isaac.]

comfortable in her chair. What I have done I can't imagine, but it must be something monstrous since it has made life with me appear so impossible that you are ready to fling away your own hap pines6—for 1 know you did love me—and destroy mine. I will begin with the veryworst thing I can think of: Was it because I danced too much with Fanny Watcrvliet?

Miss G., indiginantly—How can }cu insult me by supposing that I could be jealous of such a perfect little goose as that. No, Allen, whatever I think of you, I still respect yop too much for that.

Mr. R.—I'm glad to hear that there are yet depths to which you think me incapable of descending, and that Miss Watervliet is one of them. I will now take a little higher ground. Perhaps you think 1 flirted with Mrs. Dawes. I thought, myself that the thing might begin to have that appearance, but I give you my word of honor that as soon as the idea occured to me, I dropped her— rather rudely, too. The trouble wa6, don't you know, that I felt 60 perfectly safe with a married friend of yours. I couldn't be hanging about you all the time, and I was afraid I might vex you if I went with the other girls, and I didn't know what to do.

Miss G.-I think you behaved rather silly, giggling so much with her. But— Mr. R.—I own it. I know I was silly. But-

Miss G.—It wasn't that: it wasn't that. Mr. R.1—Was it my forgetting to bring you those thing6 from your mother?

Miss G,—N*oLt Mr. R.—Was !t because I hadn't given up smoking yet?

Miss G.—You know I never asked you to give up smoking. It was entirely your own proposition.

Mr. R.—That's true. That's what made me so easr about it. I knew I could leave it off any time. Well I will not disturb you any loneer. He throws his overcoat across his arm and takes up his traveling, bag. I have failed to guess your latal—conundrum and I have no longer any excuse for remaining. I am going into the smoking car. Shall I send the porter to you (or anything?

Miss G.—No, thanks. She puts up her handkerchief to her face. Mr. K.—Lucy, do you send me away

Miss G., behind her handkerchief— You were going ourself. Mr. R., over his shoulder—Shall I come back?

Miss G.—I have no right to drive vou from the car. Mr. R., coming back and sitting down in the chair nearest her—Lucy, dearest, tell me what's the matter.

Miss G.—O, Allen, your not knowing makes it all the more hopeless and killing. It shows me that we must part that you would go on breaking my heart and grinding me into the dust as long as we lived. She sobs. It shows me, that you never understood me, and you never will I know you're good and kind, and all, ^that, but that only makes your not understanding me so much the worse. I do it quite as much for your sake as my own, Allen.

Mr. R.—I'd much rather you wouldn't put yourself out on my account. Miss G., without regarding him—If you could moitify me before a -whole room full of people as you did last night, what could I expect after marriage but continual insult?

Mr. R., in amazement—How did I mortifv you? I thought that I treated you with all the tenderness and affe^ion that a decent regard for the feelings of others would allow. I was ashamed to find that I couldn't keep away from you

Miss G.—Oh, you were attentive enough, Allen nobody denies that. Attentive enough in non-essentials. Oh, yes!

Mr. R.—Well, what vital matters did I fail in? I'm sure I can't remember. MissG-—I dare say! I dare say they don't appear vital to you, Allen* Nothing does. And if I bad have told you I should have been met with ridicule, I suppose- But I know better than to tell I respect myself to* much.

Mr. R.— But now you mustn't respect votirself quite so much, dearest. And I promise not to laugh at the mo6t serious thing. I'm in no humor for it. If it were a matter of life and death, even, I can assure you that it wouldn't bring a smile to my countenance. No, indeed! If you expect me to laugh, now, you must say something particularly funny.

Miss G.—I was not going to say anything funny, as you call it, and I will sy nothing at all if you talk in that way. sf{ sis Mr. R.—Well, I won't then. But do ifyou know what I suspect, Lucy? I ,v .wouldn't mention it to everybody, but I •. will to you~in strict confidence. I susjf'j(ilpect that you are rather ashamed of your •ijip grievance, if you hive anj\ I suspect it's ir.srtfc nothing at all.

Miss G., very sternly at first, with a rising hysterical inflection—Nothing, Allen! Do you call it nothing to have .'Mrs. Dawes come out with all that about your accident on your way up the river, .and ask me if it didn't frighten me terribly to hear of it, even after it was all over », and I had to say you hadn't told me a word of it? Why, Lucy—angrily mimpicking Mrs. Dawes—you must teach him fcf Abetter than that. I make Mr.'Dawes & tell me everything. Little simpleton! and then to have them all laugh—O dear, 'A its too much!

Mr. R.—Why, ray dear Lucy—

3y" j? Mist G.. interrupting him—I saw *]ust how it was going to be, and I'm thankful thankful that it happened I saw- that you didn't carc enough forme to take 4 me into your whole life that you tfc1^V,8pised &nd distrusted me, and that it would get worse and worse to the end of our days that we

S, should grow furthei and further apart, %mx§ and

hould be left moping at home,

Mj while you ran about making confidents of other women whom you considered

1 worthy of your confidence. It all flashed Qpon me in an instant^and I resolved to break with you then and there and I did ust as soon as ever I could go tc my room for your things, and I'm glad ni O hu, hu. hu, hu, hu!—so glad I

J5c« Mr grimly—Your joy is obvious. May I ask—

Miss G-O, it wasn't the first you had given me how JtitUe jou

proof really

ca&d for me, but I was determined it should be the last. I dare-say you've forgotten them! I dare say you don't remember telling Mamie Morris that you didn't like crocheted cigar-cases, when you'd just told me that you did, and Idt me be such a fool a* to commence one for you, but I'm thankful to say that went into the fire—O yes, instantly. And I dare say you've forgotten that you didn't tell me your brother's engagement was to be kept, and let me come out with it that night at the Rudges', and then looked perfectly aghast so that everybody thought I had been babbling! Time and again. Allen, you have made me suffer agonies, yes, agon ies, but your power to do BO is at an end. I am free and happy at last. She weeps bitterly.

Mr. R., quietly.—Yes, I had forgotten those crimes, and I suppose many si nilar atrocities. I was wrong about those things. I ought to have told you A'hy I said that to Miss Morris I was afraid she was going to work me one. As to that accident 1 told Mrs. Dawes, it wasn't worth mentioning. Our boat simply walked over a sloop in the night, and nobody was hurt. I shouldn't have thought twice about it if she hadn't happened to brag of their passing close to an iceberg on their way*home from Europe, then 1 trotted out my pretty near disaster as a match for hers— confound her! I wish the iceberg had sunk them! Only it wouldn't have sunk her—she'6 so light she'd have gone bobbing about all over the Atlantic ocean like a cork she's got a perfect life preserver in tliat mind of hers. (Miss Galbraith gave a little laugn, and then a little moan.) But since you are happy, I will not repine, Miss Ctalbraith. 1 don't pretend to be very happy myself, but then I don't deserve it. Since you are ready to let an absolutely unconscious offense on my pait cancel all the past since you let my devoted love weigh as nothing against the momentary pique that a malicious little rattlfepate—she was vexed at my leaving her—could make you feel, and choose to gratify a wicked resentmtnt at the cost of any suffering to me, why, I can be glad and happy, too. With rising anger, Yes, Miss Galbraith. All is over between us. You can go! I renounce you!

Miss G., springing fiercely to her feet Go indeed! Renounce me! Be so good as to remember that you haven't got me to renounce!

Mr. R.—Well it's all the same thing. I'd renounce you if I had. Good evening, Miss Galbraith. I will send back your presents as soon as I get to town* it won't be neccessary to acknowledge them. I hope we may never meet again. He goes out of the door towards the front ot the car, but returns directly and glances uneasily at Miss Galbraith, who remains with her handkerchief placed to her eves. Ah—a—that is—I shall be obliged "to intrude upon you again The fact i6—

Miss G., anxiously—Why the cars havestopped! Are we at Schenectady? Mr. —Well no, not exactly not exactly at Schenectady—

Miss G., Then what station is this? Have they carried me by? Observing his embarrassment—Allen, what is the matter? Whathas happened? Tell me in 6tantlv! Are we off the track? Have we run Into a train? Have we broken through a bridge? Shall we be burnt alive? Tell me, Allen, tell me—I can bear it—arc wc telescoped? She rings her hands in terror.

Mr: R., unsympatheticalty. Nothing of the kind has happened. This car has simply come uncoupled, and the rest of the train has gone on ahead and left us standing on the track, nowhere in particular. He leans back in his chair, and wheels it around from her.

Miss G., mortified, yet anxio,us Well? Mr. R.- NVell, until they miss us. and run back to pick us up, I shalj be obliged to ask your indulgence. I will try not to disturb you. I would go out and stand on the platform, but it's raining.

Miss G., listening to the rainfall on the roof---Why so it is! Timidly. Did you notice when the car stopped?

Mr. K. -No. He rises and goes out to the, rear door, conies back, and sits down again.

Miss rises and goes to the large miror to wipe away her tears. She glan ces at Richards who doe not move She sits down in a seat nearer him than the chair she has lett. After some faint murmurs and hesitations, she asks: Will you please tell me why you went out .just now?

Mr. R. with indfference—Yes, I went to see if the rear signal was out. Miss G., after some hesitation—Why?

Mr. R.— Because if it wasn't out, 6ome train might run into us from that direction.

Miss G., tremulously—Oh! and was it? Mr. R. dryly—Yes.

Miss G. returns to her place with a wounded air, and tor a moment neither speaks. Finally she asks very meekly— And there is no danger from the front?

Mr, R., coldly—No. Miss G., after some little noises and movements meant to catch Richard attention—Of course never meant to imply that you were intentionally careless or fergetful. "*1

Mr R—still very coldly—Thank you. Miss G—I always did justice to your good heartedness, Allen you're perfectly lovely that way and I know that you would be sorry if you knew you had wounded my feelings, however accident!y. She droops her head so a« to catch a sidelong glimpse of his face, and sighs, while she nervously pinches the top of her parasol, resting the points on the floor. Richards makes no answer. That about the cigar-case might have been a mistake I saw that myself, and as Vou explain it, why it was certainly very kind and very creditable to—to thoughtfulness. It was thoughtful!

your

R—I am grateful tor your

gpod

opinion. v.' wvV Miss G.---But you don't think it was exactly-it was quite-nice not to tell me that your brother's engagement was to be kept, when you know, Allen, I can't bear to blunder in such things? Tenderly—Do vou? You can't say it was?

M. R.—I never 6aid it was. Miss G., plaintively—No, Allen. That's what I alwavs admired in your character. You always owned up. Don't you think it easier tor men to own up than it is for women?

Mr. R.—I don't know. I never knew any woman to do it. Miss G.—O, yes, Allen! You know I often own up.

Mr. R.—No, I don't. Miss G.—O, how can you bear to. say so? When I'm rash, or anything of that

kind,-'you know how I acknowledge it Mr. R.—Do you acknowledge it now?

Miss G.—Why, how can I. when I haven't been rash? What have I been rash about?

Mr. R.--About that cigar case, for example. Miss G.—Oh! That! That was a' great while ago! I thought you meant something quite recent. A sound as of the approaching train is heard in the distance. She gives a start, and then leaves her chai? again for one a little nearer his. I thought perhaps ycu meant about --last night.

Mr. R.—Well? Miss G., very judiciously—I don't think it was rash, exactly. No. not rash. It might not have been kind not to—to—trust you more, when I knew that you didn't mean anything but—No, I took the only course I could. Nobody could have done differently under the circumstances. But if 1 caused you an}* pain, I'm very 6orry indeed. O ves, very sorry indeed, But I was not precipitate, and I know I did right-* At least I tried to act for the best. Dont* you believe I did?

Mr R.—Why, Ifyou have* no doubt upon the subject, my opinion is of no consequence,

Miss G.—Yes. But what do you think? Ifyou think differently, and can make me see it differently, oughtn't you to do so?- S

Mr. I don't see hy. As ou ray, all is over between us. Miss G.—Yes. (After a pause.) I should suppose you would care enough for y^urselt to wish me to look at the matter from a right point of view.

Mr. R.--I don't. Misfe becoming more and more uneasy as the noise of the approaching train grows louder—I think you h?ve baen very qui.k with me at times, quite as quick as I could be with you last night. The noise is mora distinctly heard. I'm sure that if I could once see it as you do, no one would he more willing to atone for their rashness. Of course I know that everything io over.

Mr. R!---As to that I. have your word and, in view of that fact, perhaps this analysis of motive, of character, however interesti on general ground,, is a little—

Mits G., with sudden violence—Say it. and take your revenge! I have put myself at yoUr feet, dnd you do right to trample on me! O, this is what women may expect when they trust to mens generosity! Well, It is over now, and I am thankful, thankfal! Cruel, suspicious, vindictive, you're all alike, and I'm no longer subject to your heartless caprices, and I don't care what happens after this, I shall always—O! you're sure it's from the front, Allen? Are you sure the rear signal is out?

Mr relenting—Ye6 but if it will ease your mind I'll go back and look again. He rise9 and start6 toward the rear door.

Miss quickly—O, no don't go! I can't bear to be left alone! 1 he sound ot the approaching train continually increases in volume. O, isnt it coming verv, very, very fast?

Mr R—No, no! Don't be frightened. Miss running toward the reas door —Oh, I must get ciut! It will kill me, I know it will. Come with me! Do, dd! He runs after her and her voice is heard ,at the rear end of the car. O, the outside door is locked, and we are trapped, trapped! O, quick! Let's try the door at the other end. They re-enter the parlor, and thfe roar of the train announces that it is upon them. No, no! It's too late! it's too late! I am a wicked, wicked £jit*l, and this is all tckpunish me. O, it's coming, its at full speed! He remains bewildered, confronting her. She utters a wild cry, and as the train strikes the car with a violent concussion, 6he flings herself into his arms. There, there! Fprgiye me,

Allen! Let us die together, my own, own love! She hangs fainting on his breast. Voices are heard without, and after, a little delay the porter comes in with a lantern.

Porter. -Rather more cf a jaw than wc meant to give you sah! We had to run down pretty quick after we missed vou, and the rain "made the track a little slippery. Lady much fri^htentd?

Miss G., disengaging herself—O not at all Not in the least. We thought it was a train coming worn behind and going to run into us--so we—1--

Porter. Not quite so bad as that. We'll be into Schenectady in a few minutes, miss. I'll come for your, things He goes out the other door.

Miss in fearful whisper—Allen! What will he ever think of us? I'm sure he 6aw us.

Mr R--I don't know what he'll think now. He did think you were frightened but you told him you were not. However, it isn't impoitant what he thinks. Probably he thinks I am your long lost brother. It has a kind of familiar look.

Miss G—Ridiculous! Mr R- Why, he never supposed that I was a jilted lover ot yours?

Mr R—Come, Lucy—taking her nan —you wished to die whh me a moment ago. Jon't you think you can make oae more effort to live with me? I wont taice advantage of word6 spoken in mortal peril, but I suppose you were in earnest when you called me your own, own. Her head droops he holds her in his arms a moment, then*she starts away from him as if something had suddenly occurred to her.

Miss G.—Allen, where are you going? Mr. R.—Going? Upon my soul I haven't the least idea.

Miss G.—Where were you going? Mr. R.—I was going to Albany. Mis» G.—Well don't—Aunt Mary is expecting me here at Schenectady, I telegraphed her, and I want you to stop here too, and we'll refer the whole matter to her, She's 6uch a wi9e old head. I'm not sure—

Mr. R.—What? Miss G., demurely—That I'm good enough for you.

Mr. R., starting, in burlesque ot her movement, as if a thought had struck hvm—Lucy how came you »n this train when you left Syracuse on the morning exprecs?

Miss G, taintly—I jailed over train in Vtica. She sinks into a chair and averts her face.

Mr. R.« may I a*k why? Miss G., more faintly still—I don't like to tell. I—'

Mr. R., coming and standing front of her with his hands in hi9 pocketsLook me in the eye Lucy! She drops her veil over her face, and looks up at him. Did jou expect me on this train?

Miss G.—I was afraid it would never get along it was so late. Mr. R.—Don't tergiversate.

Miss G.-"Don't what?

MF. R.- -Fib. Miss G. —Not for worlds. I Mr. R.—How did vou know I was in this train?

Mus G.---Must I? I thought I 6aw you through the car window and then I made sure it was you when I went to ptn veil—I saw you in the mirror.

Mr. R. at'ter a little silence—Miss Gilbraith, do you want to know what you are?

Miss G., softly—Yes, Allen. Mr. R.—You're a humbug! Miss G.--Springing from her seat ana confronting him—So aieyou. You pretended to be asleep.

Mr. R. —I—I—I was taken by surprise. I had to take time to think., •, Mis* G.-So did I.

Mr. R.—And so you thought it would be a good plan to get your polonaise caught in the window?

Miss G., hiding her face on his shoulder —No. no, Allen. That I will never admit. No woman would!

Mr. R.—O, I dare say! At'ter a pause— Well, I am a poor, week, helpless man, and I have been cruelly deceived. How could you, Lucy, how could you? I can never get over this! He drops his head npon her shoulder.

Miss G., starting away again and looking about the car—Allen, I have an idea! Do you suppose Pullman could b^ induced to sell this car£ ...

Mr. R.—Why?

fflf

Miss. G.—Why, because 1 think it is perfectly lovely, and I s'lould like to live in it always. It could befitted up for a summer house, don't you know and we could have it in the garden and you could smoke in it.

Mr. R.—Admirable! It would look like a traveling photographic saloon. No, Lucy, we won't buy it we will simply keep it as a precious souvenor, a sacred memory, a beautiful dream,, and let it go on fulfilling it6 destiny all the same.

Porter, entering and gathering up Miss Galbraith's things---Be at Schenectady in half a minute, mis6. .,)Voa't have much time.

Miss Gs, rising and adjusting her dress, and then looking about the car, while she passes her hand through her lover's arm —O, I do hate to leave it. Farewell, you dear, kind, good, love lovely car may you never have another accident! She kisses her hand to the cai, upon which they Dotti look back as they leave it.

Mr. R., kissing his hand in like man-ner—Good-by, sweet chariot may you never carry any but bridal couples!

Miss G.~Or engaged orfes! Mr R—Or husbands going home to their wives!

Miss G—Or wives hastening to their husbands'! MrR—Or young ladies who have waited one train over, so as to be with the young men they best ha'e!

Miss G—Or young men who are so indifferent that they pretend to te asleep when the ladies come in! They pause, and look back again. And must I leave thee Paradisf? They both kiss their hands to the car again, and their faces being very close together, they impulsively kiss each othsr. Then Miss Galbraith throws back her head, and solemnly confronts him. Only! think, Allen, if this car hadn't broken its engagement we might never hare mended ou/s ._.

S RESUMPTION.

ffW'i

Reflections on the Subject Suggested by the Strike.

fijs- 4^ 'f.

The Historical Argument-Some True Uoctrmc.

The one named Doubleday would never have been heard of againj but for the sympathy of a similai class of people, who have been washed to the sunace by a a similar tidal wave. In England no one ever condescended to answer him.

The other name is not quite so obscure Sir Archibald Alison being known by his wordy History of Europe which seems to 6uit a cla-s of people who are too weakly to digest a little knowledge until it has been well diluted. He !s also known as the contributor to Blackwood's Magazine, of a "long series of tedious articles on Tony politics

The quotation from him, ''will on inspection refute itself?'-

He advances the arguriitnt, that nearly four fold increase in the burden of taxation within eighteen years, is an evidence of prosperity and, that an excess of expenditure over income of £45.000,000 ($225,000,000 in gold) per annum is a proof that this period of eighteen years, was ',the most glo'rious which Great Britain had ever known."

A. drunkard might use the same argument, he might say, "I had a most glori ous time during the spree, but what a fool I was to stop, for then commenced one or the awfulest headaches."

Instead of profiting by the mistakes 01 Great Biitain. America has followed her example. Instead of going steadily to* work to replace the capital destroyed by the war, she has gone on to destroy more, or rather to lock it up fast in railroads and mines that can not possibly return it for many years. She like Great Britain has looked upon her paper evidences ot debt as if they were so much actual money, and4now like Great Britian she is suffering.

Justice would seem to demand that as the capitalists have had the chief control of this "drunk" they should be the chief sufferers, and not as some have done, try to throw the whole burden on the workers, who have been almost helpless in the matter.

It would be well to remember that although there is no civil law to prevent capital from driving the hardest bargain possible with labgr, yet there is a moral law which declares that might is not right, anymore in the sphere of political economy than in that of mere physical strength, and if this law is disobeyed, punishment cannot be escaped. The be6t advice then would seem to be to keep cool and compromise the difficulty, and above all beware of the Doubleday Alison clas-, who propose another "spree" as a cure for the last one.

SUCCESS

—IB TIDfr—

Test of Merit*

VBOBTWB.

The great success of Yegetine lo curing such diseases as Scrofula, inherited in the blood, together with the Increasing demand of the medicine, is conclusive evidence of its actual merit. No medicine was ever placed before the public with so much positive proof of its real value as the VEGETIXE, which has cured manv cases of Scrofola of five, ten and twenty years'standing, where the patient has had many physicians, tried many of the known remedies and, after trying the VEOBTINE, the common remark is,

It acta differently, works differently, from any medicine 1 have ever taken." VEOETIKE will cleanse Scrofula from the system. Try it.

Unprecedented Merit. BOSTOS, Jan. 1st, 1876. H. It. STEVEXS, Esq.—Dear Sir: For many years I have been attiicted with a humor in the blood which finally developed into Scald Head, and only those who are similarly attiicted can realize the disagreeable suffering one is compelled to endure with this complaint. For a long time my head was in a dreadful condition. I used various kinds of remedies and medicines, some of which was especially prepared for me. I got no better,—indeed, constantly grew worae. the surface of my head being entirely covered with sores of the most aggravated nature. This was my condition when 1 commenced taking the VEaETiNE, which 1 am pleased to inform you and the public (if you choose to make it public), has made a complete and satisfactory cure oc my disease and I shall always deem it a great pleasure to mention the unprecedented merit of VEOETIXE. 1 remain, very thankfully,

All Diseases of the Blood... If VEOETIXE will relieve pain, cleanse, purify and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health after trying different physicians, many remedies, suffering tor years, is it not conclusive proof, if you area sufferer, yon can be cured Why is this medicine performing such great cures? It works in the blood, Tn the circulating: fluid. It can truly be called the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER. The great source of diseaA originates in the blood aiul no me£ icine that does not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon public attention.

Seventy-one Years of Age. EAST MAKSOPIELD, Aug. '£1,1870. MB. STEVENS,—Dear Sir: I niu sveiuy-oue years of age have suffered many years with Kidney Complaint, weakness in my back and stomach. 1 was induced by friends to try your VEOETIXE, and I think it is the best medicine for weakness of the kidneys I ever used. I have tried many remedies for this complaint, and never found so much relief as from the VROKTIXE. It strengthens and invigorates the whole system. Many of my acquaintances have taken it, and I believe it to bo good for all the complaints for which it is recommended.

Youn truly, JOS1AH 11. SHERMAN.

Reliable Evidence*

MR. II. It. STEVEXS.—Dear Sir: 1 will most cheerfully add iny testimony to the great number you have already received in favor of your great and good medicine, VMETIXE, for I do not think enough can be said tn its praise, for I was troubled over 30 years with that dreadful disease, Catarrh, and had such bad coughing spells that it would seem as though I never could breath any more, and VEOETIXE has cured me, and I do feel to thank God all the time that there is so good a medicine as VEOETIXE, and I also think it ono of the best medicines for coughs and weak, sinking feelings at the stomach, and advise everybody to take the VEOETIXE, for 1 can assure them it is one of the best medicines that ever was.
