[ may 20. now hi: fooldd i«i:k Bungay, the real estate agent at Pencader, suspected that Mrs. Bun gay didn’t care as much for him as she ought to. So o.*e day he went up to the city, after leaving word that lie w ould he gone two or three days, W hile there be arranged with a friend to send a telegram to his wife, at a Certain hour, announcing that he had beeh run over on tins railioadl and killed. r Then Bungay come home, and, sfipping into the house unperceived, he secreted hiinseif in the closet in the sitting-rodm, to await the arrivals of the telegram and to see how Mrs. Bungay took it. After a while it came, and he saw the servant girl give it to his wife. She opened it and read it gave oae little start. Ti en Bungay saw a smile grad ually overspread her features. She rang for the girl, and when the serv ant came, Mrs. Bungay said,— “Mary, Mr-Bungay’s been killed.; I’ve just got the news,' I reckon I’ll have to put on black for him'-though I hate to give up ray new bonnet fori mourning. You just go round to the milliner's, ask her to , fetcli me up latest stvls of widow's bonnets, and tie a piece of black crape on the door, and then bring the undertaker here.” While Mrs. Bungay was 'waiting,; she smiled continually, and once or. twice she danced around the room,, and stood in front of the looking glass, and Bungay heard her murmur to herself,— ‘I am t such a harl looking woman either. I wonder what James will think of] me ?” “James!” thought Bungay, as Ids' widow took her seat, and sang softly, as if she felt particularly happy. “Who in thunder’s James ? She cer tainly cannot mean that infamous old undeitaker, Tooml s ? Ilis name is ; James, and he’s a widower; but it’s! preposterous to think that she cares; for him, or is going to prowl after any man for a husband as quick as t^is.” .J ! While he brooded in ‘horror over tl e thought!, i Mr. Toombs arrived. 'I lie widow said,— •Mr. Toombs. Bungav is *!ead ; run over by a locomotive and chopped all 1 “Very sorry to bear it, madam ; I ! sympathize with you in your affiic ■ turn.” “Thank you ; it is,pretty sad* but I don’t worry much. Bungay was a poor sort of man to get along with, | and now that lie’s dead. I’m going to stand it without crying my eyes out. , We will have to bury him. I suppose, though?” “That is the usual thing to do in such eases.” “Well, I want you to attend to it for me. I reckon the coroner will have to sit on him first. But when the}’ get through, if you’ll collect the pieces and shake him into some kind of a bag and pack him into a coffin, I'll be obliged.” “Certainly, Mis. Bungay. When do you want the funeral io occur?” “Oh, most any day ; perha'ps the sooner the better. It'll save expense, too, by taking less ice. I don't want to spend much money on it, Mr. Toombs. Big him up some kind of a cheap coffin, and mark name .on it with a brush, and bury him with as little fuss as possible. I’ll come along with a couple of friends; 'land we’ll walk. No carriages. Times are too hard.” “I will attend to it.” “And, Mr. Toombs, there is an other matter. Mr. Bungay’s life was insured for about twenty thousand dollars, ami I want to get it as soon as possible, and then I shall think of marrying again.” . “Indeed, madam !” j'; “Yes; and cau you think of jany : laxly who will suit me?” “I dun no. I might. Twenty . thousand, you say he left?” 1 “Twenty thousand; yes. Now, Mr. Toombs, you will think me bold. ! but I only tell the honest truth when i I say I prefer a widower, and a man j who is about middle age, and in some ] business connected with ceraeter.e “How would an undertaker suit you?” 1 “I think \ery well, if I could find one. I often remarked to Bungay that I wished he was'an under taker.” “Well. Mrs. Bungay, it’s a little cind of sudden ; I haven’t thought nuch alamt it, and old Bungay’s | hardly got fairly settled in the world >f hereafter ,* but business is busi leua, and if you must have an un to love you, and look aftei insurance money, it sp ine that 1 am just about lertaker ha; life [pears to tin t kink o? a man. me.” Will you take] bosom tJames, fold me to your nm" James was Hit about to fold her.' wheu Bungay, wjite with rage, burst j and fiercely ex-' close! from the claimed.— j “Unhand her, iillain!

I It was on the eastern division of the Erie Railroad, late in the sum mer of fog had rnakft tli morning 84'J. The heavy wet the rails just enough to etn so slippery that it was only by the liberal us*e or sun 1 that we enabled our great “Ten Wheel'’ locomotive to pull its train up the grades, and as a consequence, with the best we could do, we had lost a good deal of time climbing the Gosh en and the Oxford grades, but they were passed and we were now on a down gifade. with the steam shut off. and trying to regain our lost time by running at as high a rate of speed as was deemed safe under the circum stances.; At times an opening ill the den 5 e banks of fog that were sluggishly drifting1 across the rood would permit of a clear view ahead for a consider able distance, only to be quickly ob scured by the watery vapor asj it again closed over the track. Our engineer was a brave, cool, clear-headed man. who, while on' du ty, gave all his thoughts and atten tion to ’’is work, with a full realiza tion of the fact that the lives and property of others were in his keep ing. The impossibility, most of the time, of clearly seeing the track for any considerable distance was a source of intense anxiety to him.; With his gaze fixed on the track ahead, he held the cord leading ; to the whistle, in one ha'll d, ready, at every instant, to Sound the alarm ;for applying the brakes, while with "the other 1:Q firmly grasped the reversing lever, ready to throw the machinery into the! backward motion in a mo meat, it* necessary. With a deliber ate, movement. indicating uncertain ty, lie sounded the call for applying the brakes; he had caught an indis tinct view of something ahead, on the track ; in another moment the whis tle again sounded the alarm, this time in that peculiar, startling man ner that cannot be described but) is j instantliv recognized by the ex peri | enced ear of the train-man as a sure indication of imminent peril ; he had discovered that the object, at first in ;distinctly seen, was a, little child i standing in the middle of the tia k. Auothey moment and the reversing lever had been thrown hack ind ; [Steam applied, stopping the forward jturningjof the driving wileels for a ;'second and theit whirling them in a backward direction. The child was too young to have the least percep tion of danger, and the screaming of i the whistle with which the engined sought to scare it from the track fail led to alarm it. Vain were the effort j to stop. The locomotive was pi}sh i ed forward by the weight and mo mei.tum of the train as if by some in j lerual power, Seeking ti e life of tin ( an suspecting little ore. Oh! filial U 1 the driy ing wheel i co> Id be made H+r cling to the track instead of slipping enable the lujeoino gigantic power in stop ! In vain tlie engineer the sand box around, and so Live to use its |»ing the train jerked the valve of wide open ; th» store of sand had been exhausted in climbing the grades and there seemed hot to be a grain left; with only a few quarts of sand he might still hope to save that innocent life. Suddenly the wlwels take hold of the rails with a terrible power that seems as if it would tear them from their plaee, giving a shock of resistance that makes the long train- hesitate and tremble as the cars grate and crowd forward up on each other, and the gallant • iron steed. Alas, it is only for a moment; a little sand had been dislodged from some corner bv the violent s laking of the locomotive; and run down up on the rails. Now the scene becomes one of terror ; the br'akeman, too, have discovered the child, and arc straining at their brakes with qesper ate but useless energy, while the backward whirling driving wheels throw out great streams of crackling, his’ing sparks as they slip round up on their iron track. As the locomo tive passed the child’s home near the track,- its 'mother, startled by i the great commotion, came to the dooi. eadly per to avert. and,.seeing her darling’s il, that she was powerless closed her eyes in speechless agony. that she might shut out t!ie awful scene. At this terrible moment, the engi neer had left his post, and, running swiftly along on the side of the loco motive, stepped quick down upon the lower bars of the pilot (cow-catcher.) and while in a crouching position, and holding firmly with one hand to the iron, bar forming the pilot’s cen tre, he reached forward with the oth er, and, catching the. child by the arm, raised it from the track and j bore it along in safety, A minute j later he had stepped from the still j moving locomotive aud carried the I child back to its mother, who, Seeing I that it was unhurt, clasped it to l.er ! bosom and fainted as the terrible ag ! ony left her mind. [Springfield, (Mass.) Daily Union.] IKm Answer. They tell it on one of our citizens who was ambling toward his place of business, .that he was approached by a lady, acquaintance of the family, who said : Mr.-, I hear: you are sqffcring from rheumatism, is it so?” (“Rumor’tis m’m” said our citizen of lfew words, as He proceeded • on his way.
