CausHED AGAIN.-On an ineom
ing- Vandalia train was) at fatmily
of five-a fat, good natured man,
his wife, a pretty but nervous lady.
:1nd gracious knows 'twas eiougha
to make her nervous, the trouhle
she had with their three children.
'he eldest, a boy of six, mashed
his hand by pulling the window
d1own on it. A little later, at a
sudden jerk of the train, he turned
a sommnersaulIt, brising and gash
ing his head. Then the half year
oJld baby upset the aichohol l'amp
from the windowsill, which fright
"ned the mother nearly into hys
t erics, which was a signal for 'all
A he children to set up in chorus.
Blut (luring the next five iutes,
wheni the half-destracted woman
was trying to stop the music, that
fatt man from the seat back of' her
looked without an effort-he was
really charming in his complacen
cy. When quiet reigneil again the
wife said with1J a sigh :
'I do know I have more trouble
than any woman on earth.'
'O, no,my dlear; don't say that,
anisweredl benediet, n4t moving his
eyes from his paper.
'I do say it!' she re;>lied more
could befall a woman that I have
not suffered.'
'O, no, my dear; uiot so hadl as
that. Fo-- instance: You are not
at Widow,' he atnswerel isweetly.
Nhe held her breath twvo seconds
and then retorted:
'I saidl 'entlamity.'sir.'

SAS.-Mr. William Bryant, says
the Rome, (Ga.), Bulletin one of
the solid farmers of North Georgia,
and- with all one of the dlev6resti
men you ever saw, was in a high
glee, and one of the party asked
him what made him so jolly. Ifo
said: 'You know my girls got
married near ten months ago and
went to Arkansas. Well I have
been so uneasy about them I d idn't
know what to do. They didcn't
write and I diden't know where
they were, what they were (oing,
r how they were getting along.
I know now.' Saying this, he
pulled from his pocket a postal Card
and Iread about as follows:
'DEiAR FATHER--WC are all well
Rnd getting along pretty nicely.
Sister Sallie and me have a fime
pair of twins-all four of them
girls.'
--He was a country young fel
low, a little awkward and bashful,
btut of sterling worth of character.
She was a Cincinnati belle awl had
sense enough to appreciate his
worth, despite his awkwardness,
bashfulness, and was his financee.
