I look back in 0 sort of wonder at thole time when 1 was n tele- graph and out of 4youngand oar int iotel7ton ll 1 employ•Mont. Not tht I wasn't head and shoulders with the cleverest of the lot—but 140 I 1111Na said, I was out of eulploynluntand —"down on my look." There hadn't been so cold a winter as the ono of which I speak, within the recollection of the oldest inhabitant. The wind out like a sword, the cold penetrated the very mar- row of one's bones ; the sun oast a sort of yellow glare that looked bright enough to make a follow feel that he ought to bo warm, while this deceptive brightness by its real gharacter chilled ono to the hcarb, 73y night the stars Ming in steely glitter in a wide ex. pause as soft as velvet and as cold as—as—. I give it up, old fellow, there's no expression at command that ern convey to you just how cold it scented to me to bo. Perhaps it was because I was down on my hick just then, and wore n top -goat of rattler light weight for the season, bemuse my feet wore clad in thinly -soled shoos and my hands gloveless. Be that as it may, I think I have sufficiently impressed upon your mind the fact that it was not at all sultry on that particular New Year's day, that saw lie alight tram a west- bound train in a far western state. I had l itis frau the office that same cod credentials t ]s t had reinoved the to make place for a poor relation—old front others—to be sure, lent the position I sought to occupy seemed al- ready well supplied at each and every point where I had trade an application. The cast was filled to the brim withood operators —I would go west, I decided and seek my fortune in the old Dick Whittington style. In every considerable town along the route, therefore, I had halted and sought employment. 10 none had I, as yet, footed n place ; and discouraged, cold, hungry and forlorn, I entered n second-ebass tavern in the little Town of Fordham—some twenty miles west of my last night's stopping place. I had a very little money left now—one bill and n few silver coins being the extent of my means—and I felt that, unless some- thing soon same to change my luck, I should start Out and walk until benumbed through the snow that lay like a winding sheet across the wide prairie land. It's an easy death; and I did not think the Heavenly Father, who soothed so far away and indif- ferent to the silent cry of His most wretched of children, would in justice, punish =for the suicidal act. It was quite dark when I reached the im1. The stale glittered like diamonds in the cloudless expanse and noises sounded clear and shrill in the cold air: The street lamps flickered in dull, yellowish gleams here and there along the stool street of the little town, and the ono big lamp that tried to force its feeble rays through dusty panes of glass over the door of the cheap hostelry matte the darkness outside seem even the more gloomy. I entered. Hoo there was warmth and light, at least, and that pleasant bustling confusion consequent upon the preparing of the evening meal, while savory smells of delectable compounds came with delightful persistence to my famishing senses. I ate supper with the rest—Heaven only knew if it was or was not to bony batmen! —paid for a night's lodging, and found I had not enough money left to allow ins to go on to another town should my sonreh hero prove a failure, Pretty black outlook,: eh? At my inquiry I was directed to the only telegraph olii:e in thepinee, and my teeth chattering the more now that Iliad in some degree become robust accustomed to the warmth of the tavern atmosphere and felt the contrast of the out -door air all the more keenly, I walked briskly along the street. to- wards the littleg:wudily painted depot lying upon the northern boundary of the town. I need nob linger over my disappoint- ment. Theo was nothing there for me ; and, although the operator in charge was eivil and really kind and polite, I saw that Inc thought he had a good thing and secant to keep it, and I, for all of him, might whistle down the wind. How I envied him his cosy nook by tog great, red -hob, cannon stove, I leave you, old boy, to conjecture. With a fire like that, good money pincod regularly in my pocket—I fear my Mem of Heaven about those days would have tallied with juke such a description. Half au hour later I was back at the tavern. The cold had increased, if such a thing were possible, while I had lingered within the telegra th office at the depot, but that, again, might have seemed to have been so by contrast. Taking a candle, my host piloted lie to the roost allotted the on the second floor back, aod, fivo minutes later, chilled in the very fibers of my material be- iirg I crept in between sheets so white, so cold that I shuddered to look at them Long I lay there awaiting the warmth that cane in no great hurry to my shaking hulk, and when at last I began to faintly acknowledge to myself that breathing under the bed-olothing Was, after all, a pretty good sort of heating " apparatus," I hoard something of which I have never since thought without a most uncanny sensation overpowering me. Distinctly, clearly, delicately, several tiny little ltnooks sounded on the head -board of the bed on Which I lay. By this timo the whole house was a -bed and there was that intense stillness of a bitter (told night—a stillness that could almost be felt brooding over all things. My quick ear caught too sounds, and, lilco all well-trained oxperione- ed operators, I began to amuse myself by making lettere of the tiny ticks. I remember smiling to lnyself—for as yet the noises meant nothing to me but the cracking of the wood of the boil on whi011 I lay shaking and shivering, though begin- ning at last to recognize a sense of lagging warmth about to overtake me—I remember no smilingto myself, I say, when I managed los oltoutA,T,A, L,which know w meant nothing at all. All was still after this, and 1 was just al- lowing the senile to fade and my features to take upon themselves their wonted look of soberness, when 1 heard again the ticking upon the head -board of my bed. Lazily listened and spoiled away at what seemed amusingly like tho sounds to which my trained oars wore moat accustomed, A, 1, A, L --there it was again --•but this time it Was followed by abhor sounds unheard be - fora.

As I ran 1 boat my hands and shivered and shook like an ague patient. A gibbous 11100!1 Wall riding now across the blue -black sea of Heaven and a ghostly light illumined the earth. Ino short time I was admitted into the brightly -lighted little office, and, sinking upon a chair kindly set out for me, I gasped : I beg—your pardon—for this midnight —invasion • but I was obliged to send—a message—at onto—to Georgetown 1" "To Georgetown?" politely repeated my brother operator—though, to tell you the truth, my boy, no one would have called us Latin brothers at that particular time 1 "Sand it yourself?" he asked, trying to a o strapg tyawn at its birth. Y 1 rr gasped. He please . I If—if—youp t gave me a word or two of instruction, and turning to rho instrument I, laid frigid 1101,10 upon it. In a short time I had tick- ed out the mysterious message, and turning to see how my new friend was taking what hemight well deem a rather unusual mode of proceeding, I found him with closed eyes sound asleep in his ahair in a nosy corner between stove and partition wall, I let him sloop. In a few seconds—at least so it seemed to me—a reply came from Georgetown, the purport of it being that an engine had boon sett down ahead of the train just made ftp there to see if the re- port 1 had wired were true. The next quarter of an hour was anything but an agreeable one to mo I can assureyou, even although during that period I found myself lhanrolri More than I had been able to thaw for several days past•. I told myself, candidly, that I was all egregious ass to have ever believed that the pure fancies of my evidently softening brain were aught to be relied upon ; that did I delay the train.dispatcher by such a bug -a -boo story for naught I should, and rightly, too, be considered a proper subject for a lunatic asy1(11111 that there probably never had been, nor ever would be a " Saul Natal ; " and that take it all in all I was worse than a senseless fool—a brainless idiot1 And here to interrupt my not by any 11100118 pleasurable musings lay new friend awoke with a start and came towards me. I vacated his place before the instrument and took the chair he had ,just left. 1t was a "Polly -wants -a -cornet'" played by two -- and those two strapping young fellows just then in altogether different frames of mind. " Cold night," said tho youthful Lacono, loaning back in his chair. " It is," 1 answered hits truthfully ; add- ing, " may I ask you a question or two, sir?" " Certainly. Ask what questions you please." Is—is "—and my voice trembled—" is there along birdge between here and George- town ?" " No." The mercury of my already crumbling eon. mit went down at once out of sight. " No, my friend, you've been misinform - el" (I should think I had 1).
