Tb weather bad -jrovvn much worse instead of Leuer, aud not only did ihe wind b!iW as boisterously as i; ha l done . all dy. but it gusts oow drove before thpm a beavy rain wbich would have wetted one ihrnugh in a very few mifuies. ; As a rule disengased cab-i crawlin? slowly past tny houe wt re a rjuaiiceti aud iuw I had united full a quarter of an hour without seeing one, and I knew that the margin beyond the number of minute absolutely necessary for gelling to the iation was crowing dangerously narrow. There.was a howl there v a deluge! I could never walk to the.btatiou in this. Ah! ihere was one. In. answer to the man'd hail I d.tshed through my linie garden, and in a few seconds was inside a four wheeler. Great Southern, sir? yes sir," snid the man a he. stood at the door, the rain pouring from hisoilkio in stream. "An unccmuioo nasty night, sir." , So it was, and so I rancy the poor fel low found it, for, when he opened the door for me to alight at tbe station, a complete ring of water formed, where he htood. We were in pretty good time after. all. and I got my ticket and was seated comfortably in the carriage for some minutes before the moment cf starting. There were very few passen gers in any of the carnages., and in the one' by 'which I traveled, and which was marked for the TJ wnley branch, ih-ir were but two or three, and I was the on ly occupant of. my compartment. Tbe last bll had rung, the whistle had. soun ded, the premonitory scream from th'e engine bad been, given, antl then of course, haa followed the firi tug, when I heard a voice khout. '"This way, sir. this way." . A guard lore along the platform, fol lowed by a belated passenger; my door was unlocked, "the 6tranger jumped pint ing in. the door was slammed loo, a tlnllinc cbinged hands rapidly, and we swept from . the ?tatioc. ; "By Jove, exclaimed the new comr. wiping his" forehead as he epoke,'bv Jove, that was a clo?e thing." Very," I assentedt'and the last train too "The last, train, certainly." said rav companion. believe there is no way whatever of getting to Djwnly if ,you miss thia traitL"' 'There is none' I replied, which is very inconvenient," .- : : ' Oh exressivly so." returned he. "Have you any objection !'' "Of ciurse, as he .said ibis, lie exhibi ted his cigar case and finding I, hid no orjectiou. he pressed a cicnr upnn nie. which'I inay,reiiiatk was one of the ve,ry best I ever ' enioked. arid then, without, further -spach', he "reclined wiihhia i.-yes cloved as tho'ugli in dep tliouiht. ' He was- a tall good-looking man, with fine beard and mustache! very .rdae'e and full. But T could no help thinking ihat his hend wa a Siiile 'too much like a head fr m a hair dressers window; and his attire was a trifle. too like a picture from a fashion book!. Somehow, every thing about him was too new and glossy to please 'me 'entirely, and his jewelry was also too profuse, but it could not be denied that his cigar was a capitol one. I sank into a revery as deep as bis own : indeed, I rather suspect ! had begun to doze, when I was roused by the slopping of the' tram. My compan ion roused himself too. I was oh the side nearer to the platform, and looked out. - . . ,, w. "A rough nigbt still, isn't, it V he tl is,; :. indeed," I replied. Just put your head oyt, and try. how the wind is blowing.' -K . ; " "No, thanJc you.' he replied," with a smile," I will take your, word for it." 'I liughed in reply, and was nbmit to close it window!' when the iruard too":ed in. -' The cfiical passed on, but returned. i in a lew s?cona, ana starea .snmewnat curiously, ! fancied, into the carnage. The scream and Xhe tug came again and on .we' wept. '" . , . : ,' "That fellow had a good stare at you, said my companion. Y ' .' Well, I fancied he loolced chiefly; you," I raid ; !,kbut the fact' was, I havsj no doubt, he smelt a eomewbat'' power-' full odor of tobacco, and he wished Us to see that he'did.' ' , .;. ."I houldn,l .wondef;"faid the stronger throwing himself back., with ;the languid air 'of one who lakes no interest J' a ponvf rsation. ' r . "V" ; ;v ' "Dj w e;pp again before we, ariive at Diwnley branch?" ' N..4,I replied. ' : "Very good ihn." he rontnued ; let us make ourselves comfortable."..,. A'id. by way of doing this, he unlocked a black valiee ' he had with him, and drew out a couple of boiiles of champigne which proved as good in qutlity as his cigars. He next produced contrivances for glasses, 'which' shut " up into a mere ring.' With these appliances,' very mer rily journevfd over ih twelve ' miles which remained of the main line, when Diwnly "Junction." was now shouted: and, an soon as'we Came to a stand, )ur carnage wa detached from the train. - . ....... ...... "All" tickets,, ready. - it you please, 1 said the collector, appearing at the door. As we handed our pieces of pasteboard to the inaii, the same giard who had twice before looked in. peered ' over his shoulder, to the annoyance of my com pmon. who mu'tred something strongly condemnaiory of his impudence. ' In another moment lhe" mam line train was thundering over the viaduct, and da.-hing, with its roaring and its spark, into utter darlne?, while - our modest litile engine came fussing out of some tiding.' and was hooked on to its smaller charge.- ' : : ' u: ! ' "Now we are off for'-'Dwnley," ex claimed my new friend."! : Bji he was wrong. A deHy of some minu'es yet took place, which really seemed quite unnecessary : for their was not a ioul on the 'platform.--along which the gusis of rain and wind swept fierce ly save and except the 'siatiou mas'er! wno. well wrapped up, twice walked slowly . past our carriage, and looked sideways at u, with a very keen express ion or so I fancied. 'My fellow traveller did not see this, as he was fixedly staring into vacancy from the oiher side of the carriage; At. Iat we putTVd on lo ihe branch. We had got into pretty good sped as we passed the second platform, which on the Downley branch, exists for. the conve-uieme of up passengers, when to my amazement,' the door was pulled open, aud a young man jumped in. "Cmie. my lad,? I remonstrated, "this is a dangerous gam; 'and surely we have been long enough at the station for you 10 get in leisurely." Yes,"' he said with a grin.. ; On looking at him, I thought he was one of the most dissipated, impudent looking young fellows I had ever seen. "Yes you've been at the xtation' long enough," he added.: "Then he stopped, without any per ceptible reason, to grin again, and : to wink at me. I tried to freeze him by a scornful look, but it had not the least ef fect upon him. . : , "Now," he continued, "do either cf yon gents know me ?" "I do not." was . my reply. My cofHpnnian turned his - face from ihe window for a 'moment J and bestow ing a lofty glanc of contempt upon ihe speaker, resumed his caze. The new comer was in no way abashed at ihe cool manner in which his advances were re civnd. but resumed! : . : .'I want to have a little talk with one of you but I don't know which. Hare either of your ever heard of Tawell. the Quaker, who was. waited for when he wot, out of the tram,, all : through the elecirio telegraph, which was a new thing in his lime?"' ' ; I etartfd.-ai the ppeaker,. while my fel low -traveller bestowed a; momentary glance upon him as before. ' "Oh, come." continued the young fel low, assuming a stiil more knowing ex pression. ' this won't do. The branch is only seven miles long, and one of you is wiij-tinar time awfully. : Which of you 15 likely. to he waited for ai Downley ?" - I could .only continue my blank stare at the boy (he was liule beltei); my fel low. traveller-, just movtd, but. I look '.no notice of him.

Oh. that's enough," he . went on, : turn ing lo my companion ; ."1 can see which isjhe pany. You're in for it: mister." "But bui why should how could any body know?" began ihe gentleman, and his voice was now hifsky and quivering- "That doesn't matter, that , I see," re torted the youth, "the only question is, are you afraid of &i policeman just now, or are .you not ?" -. ;;. : . .- ,' ' . ; Well, there are circumstances at pres ent .

But his 11m- came . He brought most unfounded charges against me, which, were certain officers in England, here I could easily rebut In their absence I may be ruined.

I raechnnicglly clapped .my hands upon my waisicoat pockets, as if to quite cert ain on the matter, aud regretfully said, "No I have not."

We did so ' and though a cood deal shaken no harm-was done.' and nre saw the angry lights at the rear of the car riasps duappear with quickened upeed round a curve. "Well I'm off." exclimd the clerk; "good luck to you, captain and hs van ished in the darkuess. ."Now where on earth are we lo go ?" said my friend. ''I only thought of com ing to .

It went on to describe the appearance of Mr John Macedy in such language as left very little doubt as to who was my companion on the preceding evening. j ' Den. Wade. ' l Soon after taking his seat in the Sen ate, a fire-eating Southerner, in debate, grossly . asssailed a Free State Senator. As no allusion, was made to hiujsf If or his State! Wade sat htiW, but when the Senate adjourned, he said openly if ever a Southern Senator made such an attack on him or Ohio, while ha sat on that fl or, he would brand him- as a liar. This coming lo the ears of the Sautnern .nan. a Senator took secaion to poimeiily $penk, a few days afterward, cf Ohio and her people as nero thieves. In stantly Mr. Wade prang. to his feet and pronounced ihe Senator . a liar. .Th Southern Senators were astounded and gathered arot'nd their chtmpion. while the Northern ni'n grouped about Wade. A feeler was put out from ihe Southern .ide looking to retraction, but Mr. vYade retortrd in his peculiar style, and de manded an apology for the insult offered himself andhe people he represented. The matter thus closed and a fiht was looked upon a? certain. Th1 next day a geralemon called-on the, Senator from Ohio., and. asked the . usual question touching his acknowled'ment of the code. " "I am here." he responded, "in a double capacity. : I represent the State of -Ohio, and, I ; represent B-m. Wade. As a Senator; I am opposed to dueling. As Bn, Wade. I recognize ihncode.'" ' 'My friend feels aggrieved," said the gentleman, "at : what you slid' in the Senate yesterday, and will ask for an apology or satisfaction.?' . : - ."I AV53 somewhat embarrasaed," con tinued Senator.
