The Exeter Times, 1885-4-16, Page 7GQIING HOME. From the Wonders of Dreamland to the Peacefulness of a Better One. It was on a train coming out of Flor- ida, says the Titrougla Mal- The old. man coughed terribly, and all the pas - sen ers pitied him. "I have been down in Florida trying to get over this hemorrhage,'' he said between fits of coughing, ('and 1, was told by the doctors that I would soon be better ando home cured. lam go- ing home, brit will never ---" Hare he began coughing again and it was seise al minutes before he could go on speaking. "I will never be well again. I came down here on these warm shores,thinking mayb one day I would be young and rong again, but alas! -'I am grievously disappointed. No, ,she is not my wife," he continued, as the passengers looked inquiringly at the pretty young woman by his side. "She is my grand -daughter. My wife, God bless her, is up yonder," pointing to- ward the brazen sky. "Oh, dear! This young woman is all there is of my once large family. and she is already stricken with consump- tion. We came down here together last fall, and she is better; butl am go- ing back. to Lynn to die. while she is ! only temporarily benefitted. Oh, yes! 1 Florida is a good place for eonsunlp- Lives to come to—to die." Then ho } coughed again till his face was livid, and' half the passenger, were coughing fro very sympathy. The young lady drew is white old. head down on her bosom, and dallied with his thin locks, and pressed his flushed cheeks with her soft lingers until he slept. .all were glad to see him at ease, and a hundred willing Hearts went out to her as two hundred willing hands were proffered for assistance in subdued whispers. "He is sleeping so sweetly," shesaid, "and see those smiles playing on his lips. Ali, yes! He is dreaming of home and youth. He often does so when he is so worn that he sleeps. What did he say? Oh, yes! He is a boy again, and in fancy he is roaming through the green fields hand in hand with mydead grandmother. Listens" "Stella! Stella! Ain't the world beautiful to -day!" "Stella was my grandmother," the girl said, "and he has gone back in his happy dreams to the days when he roamed with her on the fine New Eng- land hills. Alt, yes! He is back hi h18 old Massachusetts home, a boy again." The old man moved quickly, and his arms twitched nervously, until hishand wandered above his head and rested on the glorious hair of his granddaughter. " tella, your hair is so cool and so thick and grand like the hair of angels. Oh! you have gone again. Comeback, darling; and let me tell you how I love you!" The sluggish breeze came in the open window and playedamongher rich hair and the thin and frosty locks that clus- tered round his brow. The whistle mournfully called a station as if itwere the wail of a. dying woman, and the tired eyes opened. Where are we?" he asked. "This is Callahan," said the girl, soothingly, "Not out of Florida yet? Why, I thou& we were back at Lynn already, and—Oh! Mary, I had such a pleasant dream! I am glad I saw the old home- stead in a dream, for I am dying, and my poor old eyes will never rest on home again until I come to watch over you with a covey of angels. I saw your grandma, Mary, and I dreamed.1 twin- ed my fingers in her hair, as I did be- foret"ou and your mother were born." The train moved. on, and the old man coughed ever and anon, and finally spoke again: "Mary, I am dying. I do not want to die here in Florida. Oh! how I would like to see the steeples and chimney tops of Lynn --over the tree -tops. But you will take the back there and bury me in the old churchyard, Mary; and now, when we are out of Florida, I am ready to die." The tears trickled down the cheeks of the girl and bedewed his hair; he twined his fingers in her flow? ing locks and was still until the whistle sounded and the brakeman came to the door and said, so faintly scarce any- body' could hear it: "Jessup. Change cars for Macon." "Then we are in Georgia?" the old man cried. "Now let me die," and as the train slowed up the girl's tears flowed faster, for there was a gasp, and the old man had changed cars for heaven, and his train glided over the golden rails and sandal -wood ties so swiftly and noiselessly that before we were again on our way he was safely home. ' r.� Matrimony in Her Majesty's Army. The soldiers are great beaux. The hearts of female Haligonians, high and low, beat faster in the presence of these uniformed gallants. Her Majesty for- bids common soldiers to marry without a permit from their superiors. There are nine laundresses to each company, and they are always soldiers' wives, mothers, or daughters. Fifteen extra wives are allowed to a division. The nnhaltpy martial Romeo is obliged to. put his name on a list and wait his turn tisk leave to marry. He may have act- ed his part to a dozen Juliets before the time comes when his sweetheart can be appointed a•regimental washerwoman., Special privileges in the way of marry- ing are :allowed to old soldiers and to those who have distinguished them- selves by bravery. Many of the :sold- iers marry without permission. The officer's discipline the unlicensed bride e -room for a little while, but the pun- ishment is not sufiicientlysevere to pre- vent the practice. The wife, however, suffers when her soldier -husband is or- dered distantstation of the some to l3ritish Empire, and sheis left to follow him as best she may.-llalifax Letter.
