THE AID SOCIETY.
The Ladies' Aid Society of the M.
E. Church met last night and was
largely attended. The good people
of this church are alive to its inter
ests and do not lag in proper works.
The Las Vegas Brass Band furnished
music for the occasion, which added
largely to the cn'ertaiument of the
evening. The house was full of la
dies and gentleman who when the
saucer was passed around contributed
the liberal sum ot $25. This wc con
sider a very successful enterprise in
poiutboth of enjoyment and finance.

WIDE AWAKE OS A SLEEPER
Charles Dudley Warner coutributs to
the last number of Good Company a
sketch of his ride in the Pullman
sleeper on his way from Connect icut
to CiiicHV-'o. When he awoke from
his first night's rest on the sleeper it
whs early inorniug in Eastern New
York and the train had stopped in
front of a furm house.
The occupants of the house and sta
bles gave no signs of awakening
Perhaps they heard in their morning
doze t he accustomed whirr i.nd halt
of the Pacific Express at that hour,
but didn't give a thought to the
freight of immortal souls at their door
that car load of beauty and wealth,
mid perhaps, genious, certainly of am
bition, which would never pass that
way again. Then he wonders who iu
the house would be astir first, the
hired man arousing the maids by the
clatter of his bigboojs on the stairs,
or the kitchen maid, stealiug down
and flinging open the back door open
ing upon the orchard to suutlthe clo
ver; "or would the old fanner come
gruutig out of his chamber on the
lower floor, throw a weather eye to
the cast from the front porch, and
then stump about to rouse the slug
gish household? Perhaps the young
lady, home on her vacation from Vas-
sar, was at this moment peeping
through the blinds of the second-story
window, taking the scent of the
honeysuckle, the blossoms of which
see could reach by leaning a little
over the sill. It is out of juBt such re
treats the raving beauties come. Per
haps her brother who is not to be
called if he sleeps till noon has
brought a comrade home with him
fiom Union, and the co-adncation of
the sexes will go on after all in the
Mohawk farm-house.
Perhaps the young lady was listen
ing in semi-consciousness on her
snowy pillow to the bewildering and
inspiring ov rtureofa hundred birdh
in Who clump of maples on the slope
below her window. The air was full
of this concert in the sileuce that en
sued on the pause of the train, and it
was this jubilant bird-singing that
caused me to raise the curtain. Oi
course I had no premonition of this
charming family, whose acquaintance
I should never make. A low stone
wall ran along the road 6idc, support
ing the terrace, and draped iu vines
fresh with dew. It was an em
blem to me ot the solidity and gract
of this retiring family.
I was beginning to build up this
idea, aud regretting that some of the
most attractive places to us in this
world are to us only water station-,
places of departure, when the creak .
the couplings aud the jerk of the cr
announced the jar and the swing of
our continued travel, aud the young
womau from Vasai became like miy
other Bwect girl graduate, whoso ag
gregate existence in the world fills us
with a gentle pain at the brevity of
time and the want of opportunity. .
I kuow of no other place like tee
lower berth of a sleeping car for med
itation, dozing and happiness in the
early morning, To look at the flying
landscape from your pillow is not the
same thing as looking at it when you
sit upright. You tto not seen to he
hastening forwanl yourself, but the
world is coming to meet you, and
cominj in a hurry. You feel that
you are being jerked onward, hut you
see the clouds, the masses of trees, the
farm houses and the fences rushing
the other way in a kind of commotion
that is urgent. The livelinesi aud the
stir f preparation that I had noticed
in the upper sky while wc tarried
with the birds and the Vassar girl,
now all took one direction. The
trees were as mobile as the clouds.
The strip of sky add earth visible was
extended in depth to me but narrow
ed, flattened if I may say so, and be
came panoramic iu character like a
strip of canvas rapidly drawn along.
Aud every moment as it fWl by the
shadows were growing fainter and
the light in the east was vulgarizing
the scene, till the illusion of a new
ly created earth was quite gone aud I
recognized the earth as I knew it, ev
ery foot of it, as such a town, or such a
street and road. The world was as
tir. Man had come upon the scene.
Hovr much manhood and independ
ence was there in these farm houses
and villages we were encountering,
with every revolution of the wheels?
All nightlong I had been dimly
concious of the thundering pounding
of freight train, aud as I lay here iu
t Iu grey of the morning, my window
was darkened every now and then by
the lumbering bulk of this u-oviiiü
trafie, Hashes of red and green, and
blue, i ml v. Irte, with big lettering
latticed cattle. cars, lumbe
platforms, coal banks, and oil tanks. As
we went west the signs of gross traffic in
creased. Long trains were always com
ing a'ul going i.n these quadruple tracks.
At thj large statiuns, on parallel sidings,
saiod rows and rows of loaded and empty
freight cars, waiting for their opportuni
ty. At llocliestcr, where lines diverge
the passenger coaches and drawing-room
c rs, a village of them, suggesting the
vast rivers of travel that stream away
over the West, the unceasing tide of
passengers that night and day all the
year round penetrate the empire by a
hundred routes on errand.s of business
and pleasure. These coaches are for De
troit, these for Chicago, these for St.
Louis and the Southwest, these for San
Francisco. Such an opportunity of go
ing everywhere in a luxury of accommo
dation unknown in the elsewhere in the
world, is bewildering to an Eastern man
accustomed to small trains and scant pro
vision of palace cars. The traveler also
begins to study the uniformed army of
railroad employes, station agents, con
ductors and train men. The noisy brake
man in his shirt-sleeves has disappeared.
The solitary '-conductor," the former
curt autecrat of the train, is no longer so
conspicuous. There are swarms of "con
ductors," every palace and sleeping coach
has one, and there are porters and ser
vants'for the traveler's need. Is it a mis
taken observation that all these "con
ductors" and train men look alike, that
they are nearly all large and sleek, well
fed and good-natured, with no intention
of bullying the unfortunate traveler who
is permitted to pass their way ?
At the Suspension Bridge there are
more cars assembled, a sort of confluence
of cars crowded together like the meeting
of the waters in the deep chasm of the
raging river. And no sooner have we
come into Canada, than the long trains of
another traffic claim attention. As we
slowly traverse the swinging bridge, there
is a moment of hushed interest; the
young lady who has never been West be
fore is in a fever of anxiety lest she miss
the gorge while locking at the falls above;
but with the majority of the passengers
it is merely a moment of consciousness of
possible peril, for some of them do not
even look out or raise the blinds though
this is the only position from which the
alls can bo viewed without a drain on
he pocket. It is a great injustice to the
h'lekmen and he o her people who own
:his curiosity thai, this bridge is not
hourded up.
"Palo beams the moou to-uight."
A DOG'S DOINGS,
lie was a pure Newfoundland, with a
nice broad head and beautiful light
brown eyes, and such a sweet expres
sion at the corner of his mouth you
would be sure to think he was smil
ing. A more affectionate heart never
beat than that beneath the shaggy
breast of our dog Custer.
Wc trained him to hold the halter
iu his month aud lead the horses away
and he was very proud of that honor,
and would wag his big bushy tail in a
satisfied way, and hold his head high
iu order to look as dignified as he
possibly could, I suppose.
His tricks and accomplishments
were manv. He could carry two
eggs iu his huge mouth at once and
never break one. He could turn a
knob as well as any one, aud on en
tering a room would always turn
around and put his paw ou the door
and close it. If this failed ho would
jump upon the door, taking care not to
scratch with his nails.
Wc would rap a few pennies in a pa
per and send him with it in his mouth
to a store tobuy caudy, of which lie
was very fond. He would never give
it to any oue but the clerk with whom
he was acquainted, and would bring
the caudy home untouched, but after
delivering it to us would stand expecting)-
by, wagging his tail and wait
ing for the sweet morsel he knew he
waisurc to get.
We could send hiin to a remote part
of the house for any article, and he
would be sure (w understand and bring
it to us if he could find it, and he gen
erally found what he searched for. I
would ay
"Custer, bring my over-shoes from
.the hall."
He would get up and yawn, prehaps
and look in in y face with a dog-smile,
as though he said, roproachingly,
"You lazy girl, why did you disturb
my pleasant dream?"
Then he would turn the knob of
the hall door and in a moment return
tome with boi h rub' ors in the cav
ernous depth of his great red mouth.
I would say,
"Bring me ni thimble ft is up
stairs on the window."
He would turn his grand glossy
head first on one side then on the oth
er, and look at mo in a puzzled way,
as though t ying t Hi it upon his
memory, then turn slowly away todo
his errand. Sometimes on the way
he would fceein to forget and come
back to me looking very much asham
ed, dropping his wide curley ear and
peeping at me from the top of his
eyes. Then I would repeat my de
mand aud he would run friski'y away
agaiu aud come back with the thim
ble hidden in his mouth. Often he
would tantalize mo playfully and re
fuse to give it to me, shakiughis head
in a mischievous way and keeping
just out of iny reach as I ran toward
hira.
One day a friend came to visit us,
bringing her little poodle. He was a
mere pigmy compared to our noble
Newfoundland. One blow from his
great paw would have utterly annihi
lated the little fellow. In playing
around as lie lay on his rug the little
poodle bit him with big snarp teeth,
upon his huge upper lip. Dear old
Custer did ut retaliate, but as the
impudeut dog persisted in annoying
him and biting him the tears rolled
down his dusky face and a few sobs
welled up from hie broad breast, in
dications of pain, but he was too gen
tlemanly to touch oie so small; when
lie would have needed only to open
his mouth once aud close it, and the
poodle would have been among the
things taht were.
