A BrakewaN'S OrixioN or CHumcHss. On the road once more, with Lebanon fading away in the distance, the fat passen- ger drumming idly on the wiadow pane, the cross passenger sound asleep, and the tall, thin passenger reading © General Grant's Tour around the World," and wondering why "Green's August Flower" shpuld be printed above the doors of " A Buddhist Temple at Benares." To me comes the brakeman, and seating himself on the arm of the seat, says :-- "I went to church yesterday." " Yes," I said, with that intepested Inflec- tion that asks for more, " and what church did yon attend 7' «Which do you guess 1" he asked. "Some union missioa house," I hazarded. "Naw," he said. «I don't like t® run on these branch roads very much. I den't 2 ®o to church, and when I do I want 1 the main line, where your run is 4uinr und yougo on schedule time, and don't have to wait on connections. I don't like to run on a branch. Good enough, but 1 don't like it." " Episcopal?" I guessed, # Limited express," he said, "all palace cars, and $2 extra for a seat; fast time, and only stop at. the big stations. Nice line, but too exhaustive for a bmmkeman, All { trainmen in uniform, conductor's punch snd ed, and no train boyg al- lantern silver pl {lowed. The passengers are allowed to talk back at the condiictor, and it makes them too free and easy. No, 1 couldn't stand the palace cars. Rich road, though. Don't often bear of a receiver being appointed for that line. Some mighty nice people travel on it, too." " Uriversalist 1" 1 stiggested. " Broad guage," said the brakemah, -t does too much complimentary business, Every- body travels on a pass. Conductor doesn't get a fare once in fifty miles. Stops at all flag stations, and won't run into anything but a union depot. No smoking car on the train. Train orders are vague, thongh, and the trainmen don't get aleng well with the passengers. No, I don't go to the Univers. alist, though I know some awfully good men who run on that road." " Presbyterian ?" I asked. {* Narrow guage, eh?" said the brakeman, " pretty track, straight as a rule; tunnel right through a mountain rather than go around it; spirit-level grade; passengers have to show their tickets before they get on the train, Mighty strict road, but the cars are a little narrow ; have to sit one in a seat and no room in the aisle to dance. Then there's no stop-over tickets allowed ; got to go right through to the station you're ticketed for or you can't get on at all. When the car's full, no extra coaches; cars built at the shops to hold just so many and nobody else allowed on. But you don't often hear of an accident on that road. It's run right up to the rules." « Maybe you joined the freethinkers," I said. "Scrub toad," said the brakeman, dirt road-bed and no ballast ; no time card and no train despatcher. All trains run wild, and every engineer titked his own time just as he pleases. Smoke if you want to; kind of go-as-yotl-please road. Too many side roads and every switch open all the time, with the switchman sound asleep and the target lap dead out. Get on ds you please aud get oft when you want to. Don't have to show your tickets, and the conductor isn't expected to do anything but amuse the passengers. No, sir, I was offered a° pass, but I didn't like the line. I don't like to travel on a line that has no terminus, Do you know, sir, I asked a division superinten- dent where the road run to; aiid he said be hoped to die if he knew. I asked him if the general superidtendent could tell me, aud he Baid he didn't believe they had a general superintendent, and if they had he didn't kndw ay more abotit the ruad than the passengers. I asked a conductor who he got his orders from; and he sald he diduw't take orders from any living man or dead ghost.

" Popular road," said the brakeman, " an old road, too; one of the oldest roads in the country. Good road-bed and comfort- able cars. Well-managed road, too; directors : don't interfere = with division superintendents and train orders. Road's mighty popular, but it's pretty, independent, too.

The Hip pocket. A GOOD REASON WHY MR. WITHERS TOOK THE CHAIR HOME WITH HIM. What is known among tailors as the ¢ hip pocket' is exclusively a characteristic of the American species of man. Mr. Withers is not a western man, and is wholly unacquainted with whiskey ; but his recent experience of the incompatibility of hip pockets and glass bottles was very pain_ ful and embarrassing. fe bad returned to his Orange county home from a brief visit to New York, and had brought with him as a present for Miss Wilson--to whom he was betrothed--=a bottle of that remarkable cement which is sold by sidewalk merchants and which is by thew represented as being much stronget than wrought iron. It bad occurred to him that this cement would be a very nice thing to have in his future house, since with it all sorts of broken china and glass could be mended, and every one knows that children will break a great deal of china. Ou the evening of his arrival home he put the cement bottle in his hip pocket and called on Miss Wilson, intending to offer it to her as soon as he entered the house. Mr. Withers was ardently attached to the young lady, and when he saw her before him he not unnaturally forgot all about such merely earthly matters as cement. The old people welcomed him politely, and, after a few moments of conversation, withdrew with a discretion which it 1s to be wished that al] parents would emulate. Being ofa trugal mind and knowing that the mercifiil young man should be merciful to his intended father-in-law in point of kerosene bills, Mr, Withers promptly turned down the lamp and proceeded to make himself at home. The bottle was a stout one and would perhaps have withstood dny ordinary pros- sure, but as Miss Wilson weighed fally 140 pounds, and as the back of the small rock- ing-chair was of hard wood it is not étrange that the bottle yielded. Mr. Withets wis so much fiiiterested in the weather and other subjects such as usually absorb the attention of yonng men in his position; that he did not nutice the breaking of the glass, Bud it was nt utitil an hoe later that a false alarm of fire in the front hall induced Miss Wilson to flee to the sofa, siggerted to Mr. Withers the advisability of turning up the lamp. The cement had done its work, And Mr. Withers did not get up to attend to the light, but requested the young lady to dis- charge this duty for him. She did so, and then noticed his pained and pfeocctpied ex- pression. To her anxious inquiries he ad- mitted that he felt a little faint and would tke a glass of water. Miss Wilton went for the watcr, reproaching herself for being #0 heavy ind dccusitig herself with selfishness and. want of cousideration. In her absence wrench himself loose, but the cement refus- ad to yield. When Miss Wilson returned the yoting man made superliiman efforts to | { WHOLE No. 12 a of the case. £ She was a practical perso, dod she promptly proposed to get a kettle of het water and dissolve the cement, but desisted when he explained to her that his system would oot bear the application of water at the boiling point. She then timidly sug- gested that if she were to call 'pa, perhaps pa might lend you a pair ;' but Mr. Withers said no; not bear thn mort "cation such a situation by any fatt It was finally agrved that he should vit untils late hour acd then thke the chair home with him. This was accordingly done, and kad. Hot the unfortunate young man been arregted by a local constable, who only discharged him whet a severe test ved that his piisession of the chai: was ly lavoluntary, his misfortune might ne bave become generaily kcown. Wi disasters stch as this are lable fo hapgien to the wearers of hip pockets it be- col wodfil whether they atenot alto- gether too hazardous for go! Reon Sact, good authorities meintain that the Sip! pocket is positively detrimental, nad that an earnest and united effort should be made to secure its extirpation. -- Ventilation. A gentleman, while attending church one evening, found that his tect were icy cold, #0 that be had to raise them of the foor; |calling the attention of the sexton to the fact, the latter said with some perplekity: "Yes, we have a good many complaints of cold feet from others ; but I don't under- stand the reason why we can't keep the church warm---we surely have enough of fires." So saying, he pointed to a register in the floor directly behind the gentleman, in the adjoining pew. Looking around the latter could sce that there was a hot fire in the furnace beneath, and yet no heat came up. When a handkerchief was laid over the register, is scarcely stirred. The visitor asked the sexton : "Have you no means of ventilation " No, sir." "Are there no windows open 1" "None whatever." " How, then, can you expect the air to come in here if it can't get out somewhere 7" There was no response--the man was nenplussed. ** Did you ever try to blow into a bottle?" continued the enquirer. # No, sir." " Do you think if you did that you could force any more air into the bottle by blowing than was in it beforey" He couldn't say. Naver had thought of it. « Well)" continued the gentleman, «you would soon find if you tried that it was im- possible, and neither can you force air into this church through a register if you don't open a window or sume other orifice." * But," the sexton demurred, "opening a window wouldelet in the cold air, wouldn't it?" "You just try it" was the response, "raise one of the windows on the leeward side of the chuch, and see what will happen," It was done, and instantly the danker- chief which. lying on the register rose half way to the ceiling with the force of the of the ascending current, The sexton stood and stared in astonishment.--Sanitary En- gineer. ------ Battling with a Bull. Not long age, a colored man in the em- ply of Mr. George Hubschmidt, in Bergen County, N.J, went eat into & ficld to drive abull into the barnyard. The bull was rather vicious, but it had never attacked the men. This time, however, the animal made a plunge for the colored man, knocked him to the ground, held him there with his fore feet, and attempted to gore him with bis sharp horns. The negro struggled and fought as best he could, and succeeded in dodging the blows several times. But finally the horn penetrated the man's cheek about ad inch from the mouth. The brute then gave a savage lunge and tore the flesh around the negro's chin, from a point about two inches from the left end of his mouth cleat around to the tight ear. This made a terrible Wound, and the great arteries in the neck were narrowly missed. In spite of this wotind the man continued to fight fok his life. He succeeded in reaching a ston, with which he bamaiered the bull in the eye until the anindal, which was all this time holding his victim pinioned to the ground; was forced to let go. The bull then ran to the opposite side of the fleld, tossing his head and roaring with pain, the eye being almost entirely destroyed.
