It was a cnW, raw Pecpmlicr nilit;

In traveling wo often meet with per
sons of difJereut natipnaHtcs and langua
ges. We also meet with incidents of
various character some Sorrowful, and
others joyful and instructive. O.io of
the lulter character I witnessed recently,
while traveling on the cars. The train
was going we.it. and the time wns even

ensued : S iid the conductor :

She answered, "I tun going lo
heaven."

S:ie then sai 1, "Mister, docs this rail

travel on il?"
He answered, "I think net. Yi'hy

"Why, sir, before my ma died f!ie

Again she nsked : "Did she go i.n
thai railroad? and arc you going to see
her now?"
By this time every person in the
cosch were upon their feet, and most
of them were wjepin. An attempt lo
deiciibe what I witnessed is almost
futile. S Hue said, "Oud bless tho little
giil!" Hearing siime person say that
she was an at eel, the little girl earnestly
ii-plied: "Yes, my ma used to say I
would be an angel some time."
Addressing herself nice more to tho
c iinltietnr, s!:e tt'kcd him: "Do y u
live Jesus? I do, and if you love him.
he ill let jnu riJe to heaven on this
railroad. 1 am going there, and I ai-d)
j on would go with me. 1 know Jesus
will let me into heaven wticu I get there,
and ho will I t you in too, and every
body that will ride on bis railroad jes,
all of these people. Wouldn't you like
to see heaven, aud Josus, nnd your lilllo
daughter?"
Tbeso words, so innpcctitly and em
phatically uttered, brought a great gush
of tears from all eyes, but most pro
fusely from the eves of tho conduct r.
S ime who were traveling on the
heavenly railroad shouted oloud for

S'm now asked iho conductor.
Mister, may I lie here lill we get to

He arserrr "Yes. dear, jes."
S:io ihvn asked. ' Will you wuko me
up then so tii.il I ni if see try ma, and
your little girl, and Jesus? for I dj so
much want to see them nil.
The answer c.ima in broken accents,
but in wetris vrry tenderly sp-ken,
' Yc, dear angel, yes. O n! bless you?"
"Amen 1" was sobbed by moro than a
sei; re cf voices.
Tun ing lu-r eyes again upon the
conductor, she interrogated hi.n again :
"What shall I tell y-ur lilllo daughter
licnlseo her? Shall I sny her
that I saw iicr pa on Josas' railroad?
Shall 1?"
Tills brought fresh teats from all
present, nnd Ihe conductor kneeled by
l ee side, and, embracing ber, wept the
reply he could not a tier. At this
j niet.ire Ihe brakeman called out.
"II s." Tho conductor otose ntid
requested him to attend to his (the
conductor's) duty at the station, for ho
wns engaged. That was a precious
place. 1 thank Uiid'lhut I was a wit

nt this p dot I was obliged to leao the
train.

Rev. Mr. Dosir : I wish to relieve
my Heart by writing to you, and saying
that that angel-visit on the cars was a
blcsing to me. although I did not realize
it in its fullness until some hours after.
Hut, blessed bo the Kedcemer, I know I
am His and He is mine. I no longer
wonder why Christian's are happy. 0
my jy, my joy 1 Tho instrument of
my salvation has gone tn God. I bad
purposed adopting her in tho place of
my little daughter, who is now in
heaven. With ibis Intention I took ber
to (J b, and on my return trip I toek
her back to S -n, whero tho left the
cars. . In consultation with my wifo in
regard to adopting her, she replied,
' Yes, certsinlv, and inntedintely, too,
for there is a divine provideece in this.
Oh," said she, "I never could refuse to
take under my charge the instrument of
my husband's salvation." I made in
quiry for the child at S n, nnd
learned that in threo days after her
return she had died apparently without
any disease, nnd her happy soul had
gunc to dwell with her ma, my little
oitt, and the angels in heaven. I was
s irry lo hear nf brr death ; hut my
sorrow is turned to joy when I think my

THE CAUSE AMD EFFECT OF SNORING.
A writer in the Scientific Monthly
tells how Iho habit nf snoring is oc
quired, and, better, how it rany be
cured :
And, first, tho entire: The air reaches
the lungs throuvh two ehannls, the nose
and t!ie mouth. The two currents
meet in the throat below the soft palate,
tin end of which hangs loese and
swings backward and forward, produc
ing the ste riog. Il the air reaches the
liters, ns il should, through the nose, no
nniso will bn made. If it reaches tho
same thr uil;I) the mouth, tho palate
nil! make in. ore uuisc, dincc it is not
the natural cbant els, then il is that the
sound sVrper baiiisher test from the
piiluw of his companion by bis hideous
IK1:SI.
The renedy for snoring is to keep the
mouth closed; and for tho purpose Dr.
Wyeth, Iho liter of Ihe article rcfercd
to, bad invei.ted an article so cheap
that aiyotie can make it, and no snorir
should be without it. It consists of a
sii gle cap, (i ting the head snuly, and
a piece of soft material fitting the chin.
Thc-e are Cnnnecled by elastic webbirg.
which is crmccted by the head-cap
near the ears. This rontiivr.nce pre
vents the jaw from drooping down, and
therehy tenders snoring impassible.
Tnc great trouble a ill be to get people
to adopt this invention, since upright
and honest of men and women wili
rarely, if ever, confess that Ibcy snore,
and will be very indignant if accused of
il. Asa further iiducement to the
introduction of this contrivance of Dr
Wycth. it may be tidded thnt breathing
through Ihe meulh is vrry detrimental
to lbs health, and that many diseases of
the throat and lungs are contracted or
aggravated thereby.

WHOSE PIPS? -
When the Hishon of Peterboroo k
was installed in his country parsonsje,
he used to go about a goed deal among
his parishioners; and on one occasion
came across a boy minding a sow and
her litter, when the following conversa
tion took place :
Vicar SVetl, my little mao, and
whose pigs are those?
By hoi, that olj row's, to be
Sire.
Vicar No, no, I don't meau last
who is the master of them?
Boy Wliai, that little black chan
there wie the curly tail ho licks the lot
on 'cm.
Vicar (amused) No, no, you don't
uncerstand me j I mean who is tbe
owner of them ? Whom do they belone
to?
Hoy lie-lone to? Whoi. to
tny
father, o' course.
Vicar Well, and who is your father!
E.i?
Boy Well, look 'ere; if ynti just
moind the pigs, oi'll run an' ax mother.
