To mo comes the brakemart and
seatinj' himself on tho arm of the
seat, sa-6 : "I went to' church
yesterday."
Yes,' I said with that interest
ed inflection that asks for mure.
' And what church did you at
tend.5 ' Which da you guess V he ask
ed. Some Union Mission Church V
I hazarded.
4 Now ' he said. ' I don't like to
run on those branch roads very
much, 1 do:'t often go to church,
aud when I do, I want to run on
the main lin&, where your rnn is
regular, and yon go on schedule
time, and don't have to wait on
connections. 1 don't like to inn
on a branch. Good enough, bv I
don't like it.'
' Episcopal V I guessed.
' Limited Express,' lie said, all
palace cars and 3 extra for seat ;
fast time and only stop at big sta
tions. Nice line, but too exhaus
tiva for a brakeman. All tra:n
men in uniform, conductor's punch
and lantern silver-plated, and no
train boys allowed. Then the pas
sensrers are allowed to talk back at
the conductor, and it makes them
too free and easy. No, I couldn't
stand the palace cars. Itich road
though. J)on't often hear of a re
ceiver's being appointed for that
line. Some mighty i.ici people
travel on it too.'
' Universalist V 1 suggested.
IJroad guagc,' said the brake
man, ' does too much compliment
ary business. Everybody travels
on a pass. Conductor doesn't got
get a fare once in fifty miles.
Stops at all flag stations, and won't
run into any but a Union depot.
Train orders are vague, though,
and the train men don't get alon
with the passungor. No, I don't
go to the Universalist. though 1
some HM'fuiiy good men who
run on that road.'
' Presbyteriau ?' I asked.
' Narrow guage, eh ?' said the
brtkeuian, ' pretty track, straight
as a rule ; tunnel right through a
mountain rather than go round 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 nar-
row ; have to sit one in a seat and
no room in the iele to dance. Then
there ia no stop-over tickets allow
ed, got to go straight through to tlie
station you're ticketed for, or you
can't get on at all. When the
car's lull, no extra coaches ; cars
built at the shops to hold so many
and nobody eiae allowed on. But
you don't olten hear of an accident
on that road. It's run right up to
the rules.'
'Maybe you joined the Free-
Thinkers V I 6aid.
4 Scrub roid, said the brakeman,
4 dirt road-bed aud no bllaBt ; no
time ci.rd and no train dispatcher.
All trains run wild and every en
gineer makes his own tune last as
he pleases,. Smoke if yon want to;
kiud of goasvvou-please road.
Too many side tracks, and every
switch wide open all the time, with
the switchman sound asleep, and
the target lamp dead ont. - Get on
as yoit please, and tjet off when yoii
want to. Don't have 4o 6how your
tickets ; and the conductor isn't ex
pected to do anything but amuse
the passengers. No,, sir ; 1 was of-
bad a General Snperindent, and if
they had lie didn't know anything
iiiore about the road than the pas-:
sengcrs. I askd him who he re
ported to, and lie said 4 nobody.' I
asked the conductor who he got
his orders from, and he said he
didn't fate orders from any living
man or de&d ghost. And when I
asked the engineer who he got his
orders from, he 6aid he'd like to see
anjbody give him orders, he'd run
that train to suit hiimelf or he'd
run it ioto a ditch. Now yon see
sir, I'm a railroad man, and I don't
care to run op a railroad that has
no time, makes nor connections,
runs nowhera, and has no Superin
tendent. It may be all right, but
I've railroaded too long to under
stand it.'
4 Did you try the Methodist V I
said.
4 Now, yon're shouting,' ho said,
with 6ome enthusiasm. 4 Aice
road, eh ? Fast time and plenty of
passengers. Engines carry a pow
er of gteam and don't yon forget it ;
steam guage shows a hundred and j
er.ough all the time. Lively road ;
wheiP tho conductor shouts 4 All
aboard,' you can hear him to ths
ncx.t station. Every train .lamp
shines like a head light. Stop-over
checkd given on all through, tickets;
passenger can dropoli' the train as
often ae he likes, do iho station two
or three days and hop on the next
revival traiu that comes thundering
along. Good, whole-souled, com
panionable conductors; ain't a road
in the country where tlie passengers
feel more at tioine. No passes, ev
ery passenger pays full tariff rates
for his ticket. Wesley an air
brake on all trains, too; pietty 6afe
road, but I didn't rido on it yester
day.' 4 Maybe yon went to the Congre
gational church ?' I said.
4 Popular road,' said the brake--
man, 4 an old road too, ono of tlie
very oldest in the country. Good
rond-bed and comfortable cars.
iVell managed road too ; directors
don't interfere with division super--iiitendcnts
and train orders. Road's
mighty popular, but it's pretty in
dependent, too. be, Uiun t one
of the division euperinteudets dis-
continue one of tiie oldest stations
on this line two or three years ago?
But it's a mighty pleasant road to
travel on. Al .vays has such a pleas
ant class of passengers.'
4 Perhaps yon tried the Baptist V
I guess'd once more.

The other day a tramp went np
to the. door of a Little Rock church
just as the minister was reading
his text, the "Prodigal Son." The
footsore follower of misfortune
threw his bundle on tho ground,
and, remarking to several ot the
boys that he was going to hear the
conclusion of that story, sat ou the
door step. When the congregation
was dismissed the trauip arose, but
instead ol going away, waited for
the minister.
4'Sa3 mister," lie sa;d as the cler
ical gentleman came out ; "you got
off some first-class hits. 1 have
been to many an election that
wasn't half so entertaining. Your
speech is the only one I ever heard
that fits my case. It wrap3 itself
around mo like an old coat. Tell
mo more about that rip-roarin' fel

'The story is simple and instruc

Legislature' this notice must be
published hi a, newspaper of the

every executor or administrator

We call attention to this matter in

Not only do executors and ad

they neglect to publish the notice
to creditors, as required by law, but
they also render themselves pecun

ministrator is su,ed on a claim,
even .when many years have elaps

n.a have the benefit of the statute
of limitation- unless he is able to
prove that ho has published this
notice as tho law requires. This
very point was decided at tho last
term of our Supremo Court. In
reading the last volume of our State
Supremo Court Reports (just is
sued)wc find the case of C ox vis.
Cox., from. Randolph county, where
the Court expressly says, 'For an
executor or administrator to make
out his defence ol the statute of

mother's face as she ran into the
dining room to hide her tears. I
heard her say : 'May the Lord take

my money in fast living, and now

Important to Executors, &o.
The laws of North Carolina re

Judge of Probate, that ho will
faithfully and honestly discharge
the duties of his trust,' (See Battle's
Revisal, chap. 45, sec. 15,) and
among these duties that every exe

Tiie law of marriagj is written
on oth-.T tablets than thosj of the
State. As the mental and inorai
nature becomes elevated the true
idea of marriage is unfolded. T1ij
natural passions that, without this
bond, tend only to degradation abd
vice, are by it, refined and ch ist
ened ; lovo is cemented, duties are
shared, jo3's are enhanced, and sor
rows lightone 1. It is only where
simplicity and purity of heart dwell
that tlie truest blessings of marriage
can bo enjoyed Tho passion that
luoks only to self gratification, tho
fancy which is caught by a charm

mistaken tor love, the lnorcenaiy
spirif whoso chief object in 111 ir
riage is to procure a home, or to
acquire influence and position in
s-)ciet3', or to enpy hitherto un
known luxuries, all these are for
eign to the very essence of true
marriatre. and descc'ate its name.
Those who enter into this relation
from such motives, fail to appreci
ate its significance, will fail t fulfil
its duties, and can never hop-j to
enjoy its felicities. Marriage must
be founded on mutual love, if it is
to be more than a soundless con
tract, and that love must ho found
ed on mutual respect, esteem and
trust, if it is to survive the storms
aud trials of life.
There is among some at the pres

life, on account ot its expensiYeness,
Persuading themselves, that a cer

lights of home and tho sweets of
domestic love, they may be called
upon to sacrifice some of their am
bitious or self-indulgent craving.
