Holding Up the Wrong Train. "" It was in the State of ]f iieoiri. Tfce train was ftawinf tbro«Kh • loaely Mctkm of country, when, «c it tamed a Amrp cor?e. four men, auked. tsd heavily armed, stepped o«t fron behiod ail— f of trees and commanded $h«i engineer ta stop or they wovld'ihooi. The traia came to a stand still and two of the awM entered the front ear with eoebed fe* rolrers. the other two rem«iaiag. ttgmHL j the engineer, who, instead of bariag aay appearance of being;.. frighteaed, was a'ctnally indal^ing in a heatty it of langhter. In a few minutes tha am who had entered the train emerged froai tho rear ear and approached their eoafedar* ates wearing a look of the doefeft diigiat upon their faces. • Blamed fraud this is,' said oat. • What's the matter f Han't ye« got m boodle?' 'Nary a red.' 1 But the train's full of passengers V •Oh! there's plenty of 'em but they hain't got any money.' 'That's blamed strange. Who are they?' 'It's an editor's excursion, pirJ. Go ahead, engineer.' He Was Too Quick, He was sitting brooding in the parlor, : waiting for news from the upper regions. At length the nurse appeared, with the baby in her Brm». •A beautiful by, QoA bless him !* she •aid,' an* jußt the very tmag« of bis——' ' Yen, yes,' he exclaimed, impatiently; ' I know the old story—the Tery image of ' his father ; has my nose and *—' • The image of his mother, I was going to say,' broke in the nurse. ' The. hivijas forbid !' she added, ferTently—' Turbid that ha nhould ever dHnk enough to hare a nose like yoors!' ::' And he wished he hadn't spoken ao soon. Here anfl There. 'We shall know each other there,' sang m the richly dr*ssed woman in her luxurious church pew, and a few minutes later, when the usher attempted to admit into her pew a plainly dressed woman wearing last season's bonnet, the singer gave him such a crushing, thunderguatic look that he shriveled up like the uuimmy of Barneses, and conducted the'stranger to a seat in the 'Amen corner.' We shall probably know each other there, but many persons will decline to know each other here until the ariival of the millennium. * Eyery man has a perfect right to his opinions, provided they agree with ours.
