Diakons' finest; I ran across what firs* struck mo aa a very singular genisa on my road from Springfield to Boston'. This was a otoot, tiiaok-whlokerod man, who pat immediately in front of me, end who indulged, from time to time, in the most strange and nnaooountable ma ncoavrea. Every now and then he vrould get'up and hurry away to the narrow passage which leads to the door in the drawing-room cars, and Tvhon hie.thought himself aeoore from observation, would fall to laughing in the most violent manner, and continue the healthful exercise until he was ab red in the fnoo as a lobster. As we noared Boston, these demonstrations increased iu violence, save that the stranger no longer ran sway to laugh, but kept his seat and ohnckled to him? self, with his chin deep down iu his shirt collar. But the ohanges that these portmanteaus underwent 1 He moved them here, there, everywhere; he put them bobind him, in front of him, on eaoh side of him. He was evidently getting ready to leave; but, as we were yet twenty-five miles from Boston, the idea of such early prepa? rations was ridiculous. If we bad en? tered the city, then the mystery wonld have remained unsolved; bat the stranger aft last .became ao excited that he could keep hie secret no longer. Someone most help him; and as I was the nearest, fboseleoted me. Sudden? ly 'f dr?ihg, as if I had asked a ques? tion, no ?rddt rocking btmtelf to and fro in his ohnir the meantime, and slapping his lege and breathing bard: "Been gone three yearsl" "Ahl" ?*fg| Wen la Europe. Folks don't eipecfc.mo fpr els months yet baft I gel ibroogh and alerted. I tele ? g*?p&ed them aft tho last station; f tteWe got il by thia time." As he eaid this, he rubbed bio b?nde, and changed hie portmanteau on hie left - to tho right, and tho ooe on the right to the left again. "Got a wife?" said I. VXee. and three chil? dren," he returned, and h? got op and folded his overcoat anew, and hang it over the baek of the eeat. "You are pretty nervous over tile mitter, ain't you?" I said, watching his fidgety movements. 41 Well, I Should think co," he replied; *'I haven't slept soundly for a week. And, do yon know," ho treat on, glancing aronnd aft tho posse ngers, and speaking in a low tone, MI am oertain this train will rah off the track and brssk my neck before I get to Boston? Well, tho faot is, I have had too much good look for one man, lately. The thing can't last, 'tain'ft natural that it should, yon know. I've watehed it. Fir*tit rains, then it shines, then it raioB again. It rains so bard you think it's never go- ' itig to stop; theo. it shines so bright you think it's always goiog to shine; and just as yon are settled in either belief, you are knocked over by a change, to enow that you know no? thing about it," "Well, aooordiog to t\itfphilosophy," said I, "you will continue to -have sun-shinc, beause yon . are expecting a otorm." f'lt's cari? ous-,'> be retarned; ''but the only thing whioh'makes rhO think that I will get through safe is, because I think I wonV "Well, that Is wri oaa," said I. ''Yes," he replied, "I'm I a maohioiBt?made- a discovery?no? body believed in it;, spent all my money trying to bring it out?mort? gaged my home?all went. Every? body laughed at me?everybody but my wife?spunky little woman?said she wonld work her fingers off before I should give it up. Went to England ?no better there; oame witbin.un ace of, jumping off London bridge... Wont into a shop to earn money enough to oome homo with; there I met the man I wonted. To- moke a. long story short, I've brought .630,001) homo with me, and here I- am." "Good for yool" I exclaimed. "Yes," said he, "X^O,000; and the best of it is, sho don't know anything about it. , I've fooled her. so muoh, that I joEt concluded I would say nothing about it. When I got my money, though, you better bcliove I struck a bee-lino for home." "Arid now you will muke her happy," said I. "Hap? py!" he replied, "why, you don't know any thing about it. ?be worked like B dog while I have been gone, trying to support herself und her children de? cent ly. They paid her thirteen cents apiece for making course shirts; and that's the way shu'd live licit' the time. She'll come down there to the depot to meet mo iu it giu^hani dress, uud a shawl 100 years old, and sho'ii think sho is dressed up. O, she won't have no clothes after this?O, no, I guess not!" and with thoso words, which im? plied that bin wife's wardrobe would soon rival Queen Victoria's,thestrangor toredown the passage-way, and getting in bis old corner, where ho thought himself out of sight, went through the strangest pnntomime?laughing, put? ting his month in the drollest shapes, and then swinging himself back and forth in the limited epaco, us if he was "walking down Broadway," a full-) rigged metropolitan belle. And so on till we rolled into the depot, and I placed myself on the other car, oppo? site tho strangor, who, with a portman? teau in each hand, had descended, and was standing on the lowest step, ready ! to jump to the platform. I looked i from his faoe to the faces of tho peo pie before ns, bnt saw no signs of re? cognition. Suddenly he cried, "There | they are!" and laughed outright, bnt iu a hysterical sort of a way, as be looked over the orowd. I followed his eyes, add saw, some distance back, as if orowded out and shouldered away by the Well-dressed and elbowing throng, a little woman in a faded dress and a 1 well-worn hat, with a faoa almost pain-1 ful in He intense bnt hopeful expres? sions, glancing rapidly from window to Window, as the ooaches glided by. She had not seen the stranger; bnt a mo? ment after, she caught his eye, and in another instant he had jumped to the platform with his two portmanteaus; and making a hole in the crowd, posh? ing out here and there, and rnnning | ope of his bundles plump into the well-developed stomach of a venerable old gentleman in spectaoles, he rushed toward the place where she was stand? ing. I think I never saw a face as? sume so many different expressions in so short a time as did that of tho little woman while her husband was on his way to her. She didn't look pretty. On the contrary, she looked very plain; but some way I felt a big lump rise in my throat as I watched her. Sho was trying to laugh; but, God bless her, how completely she failed iu the attempt] Her mouth got into the position, but it never, moved nftei that, eavo to draw down tho eorucis and quiver, while the blinked her oyes so that I suspect sho only caught occa? sional glimpses of the broad-shoul? dered fellow who elbowed his way so rapidly toward her. And then, as he drew near, and dropped those ever? lasting portmanteaus, she [just turned completely ronnd, with her back to? ward him, and oovered her face with her hands. And thus she was when the strong man gathered her np in bis arms as if she had been a baby, acd held her sobbing to his breast. There were enough gaping at them, Heaven knows; and I turned my eyes away a moment, and'then I saw two' boys in thread-bare roundabouts standing near, wiping their eyes and noses on their UftUo- coat-sleeves, and bursting ont anew at every fresh demonstration on the part of tho mother. When I looked at the stranger again, he had his hat drawn down over his eyes; bot his wife was looking up at him, and it seemed as if the pant-up tears of those weary months of trailing were stream? ing through her eye-lids.?The Capital. jt-'?
