' 'I do not think it a selfish act if I occupy this whole seat myself, as I am to travel all this long day," said I to a lady nearest mo, one? sultry morn? ing, as I took the out-of-the-way end seat in the cars at Bat?alo for Albany. "Certainly not," way the reply, asl put my shawl, hooks, papers, fan, bouquet, &c., in the onau'iid, and nes? tled myself down on *Wie other. I soon wearied of conversation and reading, and had sunk into a fitful ?. slumber, when a gentle tap on my shoulder, anda "Please, miss!" made me wake with a sudden start. The car was filled to overflowing, and a newly-arrived party had entered, ami a pale little woman, with a fretful iby in her arms, stood asking per ission to sit beside nie,. With more of pity than of pleasure, I shared my ?*?at with her, yet I spoke, hut few ords, and sulkily forebore taking the estless little creature to ease her poor, wearied arms; but I merely smoothed its yellow hair and its pale, baby cheeks, and said Mary was a good and sweet name. For my own comfort, I had opened ? the window, that I might more dis BEtenetlv catch those picturesque views, that flitted by so rapidly that they seemed like glowing pictures, without one imperfection to mar, when my at? tention was drawn to my companion, who was incessantly coughing. "I do wish you would let down that window," said she. "The ebal smoke makes my cough so much worse." I am ashamed to confess it now, but I felt the angry blood burn in my cheek, ?md a flashing of the eyes, as I replied: "I am quite sick, and wearied, and troubled, and hungry, and thirsty, and crowded, and here you come as an intruder and keep me from the mite of cool, fresh air that I am trying to get. Do you think you are doing as you would be. done by?" said I, tartly; and without waiting for a reply, I rose and was letting down the window with an angry crash, as a naughty child would slam a door shut, when she laid her poor wasted little hand on my arm, and said: "Oh, don't do it then!" and burst into tears, and leaned her head down on her baby, and cried bitterly. The woman in my heart was touch 'ed; but putting on the injured air of a martyr, I compressed my lips, and took up a paper, pretending to read Pretty soon my eyes grew dimmed.. * I could not see without crushing thc tears often, and I resolved to ask par? don for my unkindness; but minute after minute glided away, and we soon reached her place of destination, and she rose to leave. I rose, too, and tim words were on my lips, when a gen? tleman came to assist her out. She turned her gentle, tearful eyes upon me with a sad expression, and bowed so sweetly that my hand was almost upraised foi' the. forgiveness the words were just dropping from my hps-but she was gone, lt was too late; and I, a woman, with a woman's heart, was left with that stinging- little barb sticking in it, and. che gwent words and wasted little hand that could remove it, were gone from nu? forever. I sank back in my scat and > wept bi tterly. ? Thc gentleman returned from assist? ing her, and as the,car was full, he took up the place she had vacated. I inquired who tho lady was, and he replied : "Her home is in Wisconsin, and she has returned to the home of her childhood, to die. The. whole family of brothers and sisters died of con? sumption, and she, the last omi left, is going too." Oh! I turned away sick at heart and tried to shut out from remembrance that pallid, appealing face, as ? re? solved, and re-resolved, never again in this poor life of mine to speak an un? kind word.-Ohio Fanner. A man who practiced somewhat at the bar of a suloon, asked a lady why she was so fond of peeping into a looking-glass. "Sir," said she, "the glasses that I look into help me to improve my appearance, while those you loch into injure .yours," . Bifotfif' ?STD TKB^LOED'^ .PRATER. . JuniuscBrutus Booth (the fatherof J. Wilkes' Booth) rand several friends had been invited to dine with an old man .in Baltimore, of <hstinguished kind? ness, urbanity and piety. The host, though dibapprovhigof theatregoing, had heard so much of Booth's re? markable powors, that curiosity to see the man, in thi3 instance,, overcame his prejudice. After the dinner was over, some one requested Booth, as a particular favor, and one which all present would appreciate, to read the Lord's prayer. Booth rose slowly and reverently from his chair. It was wonderful to watch the play of emotion that con? vulsed his countenance. Hc*bccanie deadly pale, and Iii;* eyes, turned tremblingly upward, were .wet with tears. As- yet, he hadV TO4V" spoken. The silence could be felt. "?t be came painful, until at last the spell was broken, .as if ?by an electric shock, as a rich toned voice from the white lips syllabled forth. "Our Father who art in Heaven," with a pathos aud solem? nity that thrilled all hearts. He I finished-the silence continued. Not i a voice was heard, or a muscle moved, in his rapt audience, until from a re? mote corner of the room a subdued sob was heard, and thc old mun, their host, stepped forward with streaming eyes and seized Booth by the hand. "Sir," said he, in broken accents, "you have afforded me a pleasure for which my whole future lifo will feel grateful. I am an old man, mid every (lay from boyhood to the present time, I thought tftat I hud repeated the Loni's Brayer, hut I have never heard it before-never." Von ure right," said Booth. "To road that prayer as it should be read, has caused me the severest study and labor foi ! thirty years, and I am far from being satisfied with my rendering of that wonderful production. Hardly ont person in ten thousand comprehends how much beauty, tenderness ami grandeur can be. condensed into a space so small and words so simple. The prayer itself sufficiently illus trates the truth of thc Bible, am" stamps upon it the seal of Divinity.' Ho great was the effect produce?] that conversation was sustained but : short time longer in subdued mono syllables, and almost entirely ceased and soon after, nt an early hour, tin company broke up and retired to t imi: several homes, with sad and full hearts lu view of thc importance of the approach ing Convention, it is of vital consequcne to us thal wc should be represent, d by men not only of patriotism and experience, bu of legal acquirements.
