"Into each lh aome rain must fall : f ouio days rauat b dark and dreary," I wonder if ever atime will come, When my heart frill 'ceaae to be weary ! I wonder if ever a time will come, When this longing and re.stlesd yearning, That lurks far down ia the depths of my heart, Will give place to joy's returning ! I wonder if ever a time will come. When the swallows that homeward flee : Will return again, from the sunny land, And bring joy aud love to me ! I wonder if ever a time will comet, When my love who is far far away. Will come back to me, and love me again, As he did on that bright day. WheD he whispered sweet, "It won't be long, Till I'll take ray love away : Some days, you know, will be dark and drear, strive against them as we may, "But I love you,dear, and we will wait, Till the clouds have rolled quite a side : Then in spite of the rain, that must always fall. You'll be my dear sweet bride." So I'am sure I can wait ior his return Through all the weary space : And even though the rains wil! fall, I'll see again his face ! THE BRAKEMAN AND THE CHUECH FOLKS- On the road once more, with .Le banon fading away in the distance, the fat passenger drumming idly on the window pane, the cross passenger should sleep, and the tall, thin pas senger reading "General Grant's Tour A around the World," and won dering why "Blatr.s Kcvstone Sta tionary" should be painted above the doors of "A Buddhish Temple at Beares." To uie comes tne brake man, seating himself on the arm of the scat, and says : "I went to church yesterday." "Yes ?' I said, with that air that asks for more "And what church did you at tend ?" 'Which do you guess ?" he asked. , "Some union mission church?" I hazarded. "No." he said, "I don't like to run on these branch roads very much. I don't often go to church, and when I lo, I want to run the main linerwhere 3'our run is regular and you go on schedule time, and don't have to wait on connections. I don't like to run on a branch. Good enough, but don't like it." I "Episcopal ?" I guessed. "Limited express." he said, "all palace cars, and, two dollars extra for a seat, fast time, and only stop at the big stations. Nice line, but too ex haustive for a brakeman. All train men in uniform, conductor's punch and lantern silver plated, and no train boys allowed. Then the pas sengers are allowed to talk back to the conductor, and it makes them too free and easy. No, I couldn't stand the place cars, Rich road, though. Don't often hear of a receiver being appointed for that line. Some mighty nice people travel on it, too." "Unrversalist ?" I suggested, "Broad gage,'' said the brakeman : "does too much complimentary busi ness Everybody travels on a pass. Conductor doesn't get a fare once in fifty miles. Stop at all the flag sta tions, and won't run into anything but a union depot. No smoking car op the train. Traia orders are rather vague, though, and the trainmen don't get along with the passengers. No I don't go to the Universalists.though I know some awful good men thac run on that road " "Presbyterians V I asked. "Narrow gage, eh T said the brake man, "pretty track, straight as a rule; tunnel right through the mountains rather n than go around it; direct-level grade and passengers have to show their tickets before they get on the train. Mighty strict road, but the cars arc a little narrow, have to sit one on a seat and no room in the aisle to dance. Then there is no stop over tickets allowed; got to go straight through to the station you arc ticketed for, or you can't go ot all. When the caF is full, no extra coaches; cars are built at the shops to hold just so man', and nobody elce allowed on. But you don't often hear of an accident on that road. It's run right un to the rules." "Maybe you joined the Free Think er ?' I said. "Scrub road," said the bieakman. "dirt road and no ballast, no time card ttnd no train dispatcher. All trains run wild, and every engineer makes his own time just as he pleases.-.. Smoke if you want to; kind of a go-as-you-please road. Too many side tracks, and every switch wide open all the time, with the switchman sound asleep and the target-iamp dead out. Get on when you please and off when j'ou want to. Don't have to show your tickets, and the conductor isn't expected to do any thing but amuse the passengers. No. sir, I was otfered a pass, Dut I don't like the line. 'I don't like to travel on a road that has no terminus. Do you know, sir, I asked a division superintendent where that roak runs to, and he said he hoped to die if he knew. I asked him if the general superintendent could tell me, and he said he didn't believe they had a gen eral superintendent, and if they had, he didn't know anything more about the road than the passengers. I asked him who he reported to, and he said 'nobody. I asked a conductor who he got orders from, and he 'didn't tai.e orders from any living man or dead ghost.' And when I asked the engineer who he got his orders from, he said he'd like to see anybody give him orders he'd run that train to suit himself, or he'd run her in the ditch.' Now, sir, I am a railroad man, and I don't care to run on a road that has ! no time, or makes no connections, runs nowhere and has no superinten dent. It may bo all right, but I've railroaded too long to understand it. "Maybe you went to the Congrega tional church V I said. "Popular road," said the brakeman, "an old road, too; one of the very oldest in this country. Good road bed and comfortable cars. Well managed road, too; directors don't interfere with division superinten dents and train orders. Road's mighty popular, but it is pretty in dependent, too. Yes, didn't one of the division superintendent down East discontinue one of the oldest stations on the line two or three years ago ? But it's a mighty pleasant lino to travel on. Always has such a splendid class of passengers." "Did you try the Methodist?" I asked. "Now you are shouting." he said with enthusiasm. "Nice road eh? Fast time and plenty of passengers. Engines carry a power of steam, and don't you forget it; steam guage shows a hundred and enough all the time. Lively road; when the con ductor shouts 'all a board,' you can hear him to the next station. Every train-light-shines like a head light. Stopover checks are given on all through tickets, passengers can drop off as he likes, do the station two or three times and hop on the next revival train that comes thunder ing along. Good, whole-souled, com panionable conductors; ain't a road in the country where the passengers feel more at home. No passes: every passenger pays full traffic rates for his ticket. Wesleyan air-brakes on aU trains, too; pretty safe road, but I didn't ride over it yesterday." "Perhaps you tried the" Baptists?". I guessed once more. "Ah, Ah?" said the brakeman,, "she's a daisy, ain't she? Riyer road, beautiful curve?; sweeps around any thing to keep close to the river, but it's aU steel rail and rock ballast, sing le track all the way and not a side track from the round house to the terminus. It takes a heap of water to run it through; double tanks at every station, and there isn't an engine in the shops that can . pull a pound or run a mile with less than two guages. But it runs through a lovely country ; these river roads, al ways do; river on one side and hills on the other, and it's a steady climb up the grade all the way till' the run ends where the fountain head of the river begins. Yes. sir. I'll take the river road every time for a lively trip, sure connections and good time, -and no prairie dust blowing in at the win dows. And yesterday, when the con ductor came round for the tickets with a r.-tle basket' punch, I didn't ask him to pass me; but I paid my fare like a little man; twenty five cents for an hour's run and a little concert by the passengers assembled. I tell you. Pilgrim, you take the rier road and when you want " But just here the loud wh'stle from the engine announced a station, and the brakeman hurried to the door shouting : "Zionsviile ! The train makes no stops botween her and Indianapolis !" FBOM GEORGIA- iSpecial Cor. Harnett Courier.
