When I? ran a little boy twelve Yearn old,! I fell in love with my first sweetheart. She waa a pretty fair little jcreatare. with lone-, yel low hair aod lived only a few doors awarfrom ns. At first I used to watch her. playing with her doll, id ber lit tie irontj garden, witnont daring to speak to her. Her parents were new neighbors, and mine were not acquainted with them; but al ter awhile.! began to make childish overtures :to acquaintance in the shape of smiles and I in re rings at her gate, 4d at last in a speechless ofTex of candy through the pailings. Tbe candy was accepted and we were friends heuce forth. Often I used to take my little cart and go to her gate and whistle there. Then sbe would bring out her doll, dressed In hat and shawl. and put it fn the wagon, and take hold of the cross-handle, of which I held one side and away we would go down the road, generally stop ping at the graveyard, which was grern and pretty 'and had neither terrors nor sad associations to ns. There we Swonld play until we heard the clock strike six. It was always after school that we started oh these excursions, and then we wpuld pack the doll into the wagoft and go home again. We always talked a great deal on tbe ! wav. and I suppose a listener ould have been much amused at onr chat. We however thought it very sensible. I was fond of telling her my school trouble and h hated my teacher. Mr. Birch, worse than I did. Oner nherr he had ruled me on both palms so that they were sore, I remember she kissed them and vowed to ga next day and steal the ruler j and break it. She did creep to tpfl; wimiow inr mac pur pose, but here she grew frightened, It was before school hours; but rIic could not be sure that Mr. Birch was;' not hiding in some corner ready to pounce out upou her, and she ran away. ! Sbe had; her troubles too; one as ncedjework'. Sbe hated to take tinv stitches and she always tangled her thread. I nsed to com fort ber by promising that when I "a a e as a ma.n sue snonid te my wue and never sew one one stitch ; but there she! always shook her little head. !' ' " I shall hare to make your shirts, yoo ; know,9 sbe would say, " and I mast try to learn ; but I bate to learn now 9 Yes, we; Were i betrothed to each other. in lour baby fashion. We bad even exchanged bead rings. 3 I We were going to build a house in the woodf and live there together always, as soon as I was grown. When I shut my eyes and lean I back fn mv chair for my afternoon I nan I can' sometimes see a picture I of my little sweetheart that seems to bring her straight before me. Iler sweet, big bine eyes, ber rose-bud mouth, her pretty, round bite shoulders, her pale, yellow hair falling . over them there she sits,-in ber blue gingham dress, holding ber doll in ber arms and talking to; me. ' Tbe shadows of the swallows! flutter over her as the wind swings tne branches to and fro, and my heart is full of the in noceut baby love it felt for ber. If there ibe angels, I think they ove as my little sweetheart and I oved eath other. How many i days, how many months passed over us thus T Not many, it was! spring wnen i nm saw her in the j garden. It was au- nmn when we went for the last time to. tli h old grave-yard. I bad no idea that it was the last time then, Neither had she. We were as merry as usual, and I grew gleeful over a visit I was to pay to my uncle? in London. I should De gone a week, I said ; and that was Saturday. The next Saturday we she made me kiss her doll too. H I i As I went into my . hoase I saw her standing at her gate, , looking at ne wistfully. I smiled at her. She lifted the doll in the air and waved its band towards me. i At early dawn next morning I was off upon my joarney. j ) r That week seemed like a year, it waisofall of adventure, of sight seeing ana amusement, i came back a traveled man in my; own opinion. i j 1 After I had my dinner my first thought was ot my little sweet heart. I gathered np the fine new tre-sures that bad been i bought me In the city and harried to the door. . , ) i j - ".To see Lilly, I said. ' t She looked at me oddly, I thought. ; i ! i : "Paul," she said, "you will be a good boy and mind mamma, I kudw. You will not go to to Lilly a house to-day f i I Why not mamma V I asked. Because there is a reason why you should not,9 she said. ; " I will tell.'you to-morrow.w . , . '" But Lilly will want me, I said ; "aod sbe will cry. And I; want to s. now tier my nine top and my red soldiers, and the village and the Noah's ark," and I began to cry myself. ! - aVIy mother knelt beside mo and put her arms about my waist.: f'You loved little Lilly; very much, my boy," she said. We love each other very ranch, niahimA," I said ; " and when I am big, Lilly is to be my wife,. and I'm to be her husband.9 - My mother kissed me. ' . ( . f Poor little fellow." she said. "Sometimes I think it is a pity there should be snch a thing as at- fectibn in a world like this.9 ! " Why, mamma V I asked.; , ,Sh did not answer. After a- while she made me promise that I would not co to Lilly's house and bade me run and play some where. I She knew I would not break my wofd, and I did not; but she had not; told me not to go to the grave yard, and I had a faint hope that Lilly would come there and (meet me. if I went to oar accustomed place. So, making a circuit, I gained it by another road,' and, climbing a lence, harried to the great willow and sat. waiting for my little sweetheart. It seemed to ine that she was sure to come ; but an hoar passed and still I did not hear ber little feet tripping over the gravel path, and I walked towards tbe gate to look down the road. On the way I parsed a little pit that had been evidentlv newly dag. for a spade lay beaide it. i And as I paused, with childish curiosity, to peep in, the church bell began to ring slowly and heavily not as they rang for ser vice, i : What could it mean f .; And there came the clergyman in his surplice and the old clerk. I knew bim, and I had begun a shrill question when he put his hand uoa my bead and said : V Don t talk now, my lad.i Just sit down and listen with reverence. It U no time for that.9 ; And I obeyed, perching myself ou a stone and staring at tne peo ple coming through the gate wo men all in black, who seemed to be ;cryiug and who, as they step ped aside, gave me a glimpse of foilr men who carried something 1 a . a a a a- covered wuu a oiacK iringea ciom. It was all so solemn that I. began to feel frightened, though I did not know why. I had heard of death, but in so vague a way that I I had no fixed ideas concerning itj and I had never seen a f uneral ; but sud deuly it occurred to me that; I had been told that leople were buried in tbe church yard. TLey were going to bury sotno one. I supposed it was the lady iu th black veil who sobbod o. A great terror seized me. I stint my eyes and sat shaking a with an ague on the tombstone, and thcu I beard the clergyman. begin to pray. SUrely good Dr. Wolverton was too kind to bury anyone, i grew more courageous and dared to look at the group again. And now I saw they had laid aside tho black cloth, and there waa a little box set on a sort of table a very pretty , box, with silver nails in it. Baddenly the black-veiled lady uttered a cry: -:i "Oh, Lilly! my Lilly 1 my little -' Lilly is dead F I looked and listened.

The Result of forty fite Years Experience The Abandoning of ine isroaa-uavge Track all orer the Civilized World. , ' .At the recent meeting of the Cheap Transportation Association, Mr. J. K; Hornish, President of the Forty-first Parallel Railroad, de livered. an interesting, address on narrow caujre railroads. Ha . said that capital , was (demanding in creased rates for transportation and the public a reduction, 'and,' as the case stands, commerce must have a reduction and -capital an advance in rates, f The , struggle had., been going on for two years. It was a paradoxical struggle, ' for both con testants were actually on the same side, and-both wo old suffer should either gain . a victory. The enure troubles,, be thought, grew out ot tne nature-of our railroads. Railroads of the staudard gauge (4 feet 8 iuches) were not adapted to the conditions of the commerce of the country, and hence were failures as means of cheap transportation and sate investment. . The remedy lay in narrow-gauge railroads (3 ieec ) is y ineir use commerce could seenre low rates, and capital safety and remuneration eaual to the best lermauent investments in the world. Mr. Uornisu continued : We are estimating, for a first class road and first-class equip ments and appointments, with an average tonnage oi z,duu tons per mue, or an average on tbe whole liue of l,000.milea orJ200,000 tons per nnuum.. .From these data we obtain onr train miles and our ton mileage. . . s r After forty-five years !bf experi ence and development, the lowest average net cost per ten mile on our four hrst-class trunk roads, viz.: the New York Central, the Erie, tbe Pennsylvania Central, and the Baltimore and Ohio, is eight mills per ton mile, and the lowest average gross tarin is twelve mn is per - ton, that is eight mills for expenses and four mills for interest-and dividend on investment. First-class single track reads exceed this- average ; from nine to twelve mills being the net cost, ;and from 14 to 16 mills the average gross tariff. At the average of twelve mills gross tariff and eight mills net cost cue prouts win iainy cover tne in terest on the cost of a double track ed road, with first-class equipments and appointments, and at the aver age of eight mills the entire invest ment Decomes . worthless, it is therefore evident that if our stand ard roads were given to the public for nothing they could not make the tariff rates required. If tbe rates on balk freight were made at less than, tbe average cost, the rate on all other freight would have to be advanced beyond an equiptable pro rata. in tne case ot a narrow-gauge railroad the average tariff ot eight mills gves an interest ou the cost of adouble-track road, and also a large contingent fnnd, 'and tbe capital is not impaired nntill tbe average comes below six mills. At the rate of eight mills the standard road becomes bankrupt, while tbe narrow-gauge earns 10 per cent, on the cost of a double-track, besides $2,500,000 for a contingent or sink ing fund. On roads where the average train load is 200 tons, the average train mile must cost 91, and this is equal to five mills per ton mile. Should the average train load be less than 200 tons the average cost must be proportionately less than five mills, and it the cost can be made" leas than five mills, then by so much less the road will have the margin to cover fluctuations in trade and contingencies for which there can be no calculatiou made. Tbe speaker instanced several standard roads, showing that their running expenses in many instances were equal to their gross receipts, and tbat in a few only did they pay dividends on their capital stock. He held tbat a narrow-gauge road would paybaudsomely on an amount of business tbat would enable a staudard road merely to exist. Iu all history ot railroading broad gauge railroads had broken down from their own magnitude. 'There were seven feet, six feet, and five and a half feet roads, and the ex perience of forty-five years had proved them failures. Even the standard railroads 4 feet 8 inches are failures in six cases out of eight. In Russia the question had been met squarely, and the Russian railroads were being cut down from a five feet to a three and a half feet gauge, and the result was satisfac tory in every sense. A main point in the argument-was tbat the nar row gauge system would reduce the original investment in a railroad at least forty per cenL, and its operat ing expenses as much more.- i In conclusion the speaker said : After the most thorough investi gation tne three feet gauge has been adopted in the United States. rfiA laro-PRt Rtrenirth . . ,,Arial.- -mnlA magnitude i;.ioju 1 . o . . , n in the cars for all nndividable bulks and weights, and the best average utility of fire surface . and steam power in tbe locomotives. In prac tice also these roads are proved to yield a speed equal to all reason able conditions of commerce, and in safety far exceed the standard roads. , .
