              NIAGARA COUNTY NEWS. VOL. 2. YOUNGSTOWN, NIAGARA CO.. N. Y.. JUNE 80. 1882. NO. 18. A Novel Way of Obtaining a Wife. An elderly gentleman of the town of Wilson, being tiesiroue of obtaining a wife, offere<l a young man of Porter a watch if lit) would succeed in obtaining for him u female bosom-companion who would prove both loving and true. The Y. M., who in of a business turn, at oiico went to wurk. The affections of a susceptiblu lady on the sunny side of eixty wero worked apon, and a bargain ntruok. The O. O. (old gent) wrote a loving epistle which in due course of cvunte was answered by the O. L. ou cream-tinted paper, with a crust ut the lower loft-hand corner and two crows at the upper right-hand end (said crows to rep rusent two turtle doves.) This brought forth briny tears from the O. 0., and hu was heard softly singing to himself : "Oh, fly to my arms Kusun, darling ! Oh ! haste, nor a moment delay ; For I long to enfold you Susan, dutfliug, Oh! haste ere the lfrrt streak o' day." Bho polished her cheeks with rod lead, and went—near a brooklet's gontlo murmuring they mot--the gontlo birds were caroling their evening songs, the bumble boe wagged his business apiiendage, the lovely-hued applo tree worm wove his not, the chanticleer in a neighboring farm yard winked his ofr eye, *n<l all nature seemed in a calm and |>va>:eful attitude of watching and waiting. The youthful lovers gazed fondly into each other's soulful orbs, as ho softly murmured : "lsyerpar williu'!" Her answer came, slow anil lover-like, as if It were a far-away whispering of the Juno zephyrs, in tones that thrilled to liis innermost core and made hir scalp-lock riso and full like the gentle undulations of a California earthquake, as sho said"You may bet your sweet lifo he's willin'." When the low, plaintive notes of the castaway bullfrog are hushed in winter's slumber, they twain shall be made one flesh - and all the earth will rejoice that two living hoartu are made happy.—Biia Jonks. Engine No. 1. " Did you over ride in tho ' cab ' of a locomotivef"A reporter, you know, novor allows a chaucoto slip wherein information is to be fairly gaiuod. When burly-framod aud lurgo-hourtod Buck ftmith, engineer of No. 1, offered mo a ride iu his " cub," you may depend-to use a slang phrase-" 1 was there." Hunt Ii was a i>opulur fellow. But his cxtremo quietness of disposition was remarked by every one, and there was an over-present, unmistukublo expression of sadness in his handsome eyes, withal his glance was keeu as an eagle's when on tho run uud " looking out ahead." Hβ was running the St. Louis night express that backs into Washington before heading westwurd. I was going as fur as the capital. I clambered, slily and uneoen, into the " cab," and was instantly alert for everything, though careful to keep myself out of the way. Promptly at 7:30 tho gong souudod. There was a hissing of stuam, a continuous, doleful clanging of tho bell, pulfl puff I and out of the glare of C—station we glided iuto darkness pitchy aud wet with falling snow. Urim, stern, rigft us a statue, stood Buck. I fell to wondering whether an engineer's arm never grew tired, whou I know that his trusty hand did not dare once to bo removed from that small lover in a route of hundreds of milos, whilo scores of human beings slept tranquilly in tho cars behind  and few indeed had thought to offer a prayer for tho brave, resolute man on whoso nerve their very lives depended. To my surprise, with tho incrouso of speed, there seemed to be loss noise in the " cub." Aud it was just us I began to reiduie this, that tho incident occurred which 1 now rolute to you. We hud passed Winans. I knew there was no road to signal for; but Buck suddoidy exclaimed:"Blow, Harry 1" Tho Uremun pulled the conl, and out on tho night shrieked a peculiar whistle, unliko any I had over heard. At tho samo time, Harry, the young flroinan, glanced at mo utrangoly, and shook his head. I looked instinctively toward Buck Smith, and what I saw made my reporters heart jump. There was n mystery in tho cab of engine No. 1. Tho firm hand was still tight on tho lever, the stern, sad eyos still fixed unswervingly ahead; but 1 saw on ono cheek a single, shining, rolling tear. He was bonding forward slightly. His rough shirt was opou ut the front, where, sui»i>endod by a leathern string, were two rings—one a plain gold baud, tho other set with a beautiful, gleaming diamond. These rings wero pressed kissingly to his lips. " Buck's a-prayin' I" said the tiroman, close to my ear. Then Buck said, as ho carefully hid away the rings: "Hear that toot, Nat!" '• Yo*." " Ouoss what it's forr, ■Howshould Ii" "For my little girl." "Why, I didn't know you had a child, Buck." •' Well, the whole world doesn't know it —that's a fact Coal up, Harry; hero's tho grade." The iron door was wrenched open, like the fiery, seething mouth of a monster dragon, while the fireman pliod his shovel. All ha J trauopired in le«s than ten seconds. As the : glare lighted brvadjy ou the dark night. I saw, on tho bauk by tho track-side -saw, to we sped like the wind -a female figure, who > waved a lauteru briskly to aud fro. "God bless hor, Nat-thafs my Dolly!" Then, presently: "Idou'tknow but I may as well tell you about it-though I don't tel i everybody, mind you. I've ouly bail ray home uere a few yuen) — us«xl to live near Point o'lloeks. As pretty a cottage it was, for a pretty wlfo, an any man uewl wUUJfor. You havu't known mo long, or you'd Lave , beard that 1 marriod a girl who oxpocted ?o i inherit handsomely. But I like you, Nut No matter how tho nmt.-li came übout. B'uu ; was a very delicate anil very beautiful priaj I for a rough man like 1 uiu. 1 won her away ! from a chap who was better off, bottor-looki ing, than I. His name wa» Carrol Courad '• 1 was never a jealous man; I did not even re- J quetit my wife to give Uμ his acquaintance. ! Hu 1 thought nothing of it when suinotiiuos, when I returned f*>m a trip, »he >voitl<l say: " ' Buck, dear, Carrol has been here to see me.' " But one night, Nat, there ciune a blow to me that well nigh drove me mad Walt a minute. Blow for the Hwlay, Harry." Thrice, four times, shrieked the prompt whistle, and presently tho train came to a halt. Not for long. There was a bang on tho little gong over my head that startled mo. Again we steamed onward. No more stoppings until we reached Washington now; no more interruptions, except tho signal blows for curves and roads. 1 was almost breath lctuly still, watching Buck, who, it seemed to mo, had not moved u muscle or turned an eye from his " lookout" sieuco he kissed the talismuiiic rings. " 1 found tho cottage darkened," he resumed, abruptly, after wo had rumbled across the viaduct. "There wus no light to wel .Minif me, like there hail always been, and— and, Nat, my wife wus gone. 1 found ou the pallor table u note that (Inst set my blood on Urn, then turned my heart to stone. It was something like ihU: " Buck, dear, forgive me ! My life has boon so lonesome siuce nmnyiiig you, and tho temptation so groat, that 1 have consented to go with Carrol. lam not all wicked; I couldn't help u | forgive mo., " I thought it all over as in a dream, Nat. Poor little thing ! she didn't see much of me for lovo-niaking, that's u fact. Then Borne sort of demon caused me to write on the back of tho note a horrible curse upon the pair, aud I pinned it to tho table-top with my penknife."Turning round, 1 found little Dolly stand- Ing In tho doorway crying. Hhe had beou looking everywhere in vain for mamma. At loait this treasure wan left to me. Ah, Nut, it was this precious charge that saved mo from going Htraght to tho dogs." " I closed the cottage, resigned from my eugino, and brought Dolly o« hero to live. I'd saved a little sum. "A your wont by. Thou camo another eventful night—a nighl as sad to mo aa ever human peing know. The wind bowlod a gale; the snow was deep and piling font Dolly came running to me, crying, loudly: " 'Vapa—oh. papa there's Homebody laying on the track. It'll a woman. I can't pull her on"; and the Bt. Louie oxprow it* coming.," Nat, I reached tho track, I think, at two big loaps. In another moment 1 had grasped up a femalu, who wai hulf-burlod in the snow; and juit in time, for this same engine —No. I—wentwhlaaliiß pant. When 1 had laid her on tho lounge, I—Nat, It was my lit tlo, lostwifol What a coming back ! Oh, how different eho looked! I saw death In her dellcato face aud form—always delicate, aa I said before. Sho opened her eyes aud called out iu a voice that seems to dwell in my ears now: "'Buck—on, Buck, dear! -Is it you at lant?' " Then, an I stood dumb and trembling, she told mo her pitiful story. Carrol Conrad hud couio to her with a lottor from her father, who was in New York, Baying tliat ho was dying and wanted her by his side. Little Dully at a friend's bouse, three mile* back in tho country. No timo could be loet. Bhe went with Conrud. Not until they were beyond Philadelphia did sho lourn, from hit own lips, the tlastardiy ruse. "Tho letter was a forgery. The hasty note of explanation she had left for mo was adroitly exchanged for tho ono I found -another base forgery. She was now blasted in my sight, he told her. Soon her uaino would bo baudiud in slanderous gossip. Had she not better go with him, and let hie devotion repay for the trick f .She spurned the wretch, aud called on the train conductor to protoct her, continuing her way to New York. •' Here she fouiid her father truly dead. He had ruptured an artery in excitement over a speculation failure that cost him every dollar of his fortune. Bho was then without kindred, without money, and her few early friemU scattered and lost. Hhe munaged to mako her way back; but no one could tell her where I was. Hho fouud Conrad's forgory, with my bitter curse on tho back of it. It must havo driven her insane. " Ood meant that I should know these truths boforo she died. In her wandering search for me, she had come almost to my very door unknowingly. Uight there sho had resolved to die—to die by throwing herself unde» the Kt. Louis night express. Coosumption did iU work soon, added to that night's exposure. I laid her in her gravei Nat, and my heart with her. " That was flvo years ago. 1 went back on the road and got engine No. 1. Dolly u a big girl now. And every timo I run this track with a lantern—rain, snow or starlight, Nat —waiting to hear mo blow, aud to two that there's nobody on the' rails. And Bhe dip* tho lautem, for a loss, you know. " Engineers, like sailors, have Heme little superstition; and sometimes, when I pat* the si<ot where I snatched my unhappy wife from a horrible death, I feel a shudddr go through me, an if I'd actually struck somebody with tho catcher." Not another word from Buck during the remainder of the ride. At tho Washington depot we parted with a hearty good-bye. A few years later, quito by accident, while I j at 0 Station on reportorial buhfDew, I ' hoaril that k<""' <'•'' Buck was dead. His daughter, Dolly, bad inarriod, and wis living Miu,;ly among tho green hills of Anacoetia, DC. Good and Bad Table Manners. Some people e«t instinctively with great elegance ; some never achieve elegance iu these minor matters, but all should strive for it. There is no more repulsive object ttiii.ii u person wbo eats noisily, trr0*"1?,. inuleguutly. Dr. Johnson U remembered for Ids brutal way of eating ulmout as much as for his great learning and geuiun. With him it waa Hellish preoccupation. Fish and fruit are eaten with silver knives and forks ; or if uilver fish kiu'ves ure not provided, u pioco of broad can lie held iu tho loft bund. Kish corrodes a steel knife Nevor tilt u soup-plate for the last drop, or ostentatiously sera|>e your plate clean. A part of table mauueiii should b»> the conversation. By mutual coiuwiit, every one should bring ouly the bust that Is In him to the table. There should be tho greatent care taken In the family circle to talk of ouly agreeable topics at meals. The mutual forbeaianco which prompts tho neat dress, tho resjiectful bearing, the delicate babit of eating, the attention to table etiquette, should also make the mind put on its best drous, and the effort of any ono at a meal should bo to uiaki< himself or herself as ugreeable as possible. No oue should show any hasto in being helped, any displeasure ut being left until tho last. It is always pro|»or at an informal meld to ask for a second cut, to say that rare or undone beef is more to your Uiste thau tho more cooked portions. But <mo never asks twice for soup or Hhli ; ono is rarely helped twice ut desert. Thew» dishes, also salad, are eup|*osed to admit of but one helping. The Man of Bullets. At I sat on tho hotel steps at Dalton, Oa. talking with a drummer from Cincinnati, the landlord camo out and asked us if we wanted to see a man who was carrying six bullets about with him. Of course wo did, and we wero walked down to the other end of tho veranda and introduced to Col. Beach, lwas going to approach him slowly und gracefully, but the drummer rushed right at him with: "8o you are earning »lx bulletu about with you, eh!" "You, sir." " Do they l>oin you muchl" " Oh no." "Lands alive! but I don't soo how you lived through it. How many bottles were you InJ" " Eighteen." "Did you got all these bullets at ouoo!" " Yes, all at once." " By Ooorgel Well, I never heard the liken of it! Colonel, I don't want U> be impudent, but but " "You want to know where they are iocaledf"Exactly—exactly." "I'm carrying 'em In this pocket to-day," was tho quiet reply as he fiahod duwu aud brought up six old bullets picked up off the battle llel.l. It was a job put up on me, but the druinmor got in ahead, and he was so mad about It that he wouldn't eat any supper Ks. A Story About Zach Chandler. One day In lHft-t Senator Zach Chandler was a pasnongor on the truin from Oswego to linking, and, strangely enough, no one hi tho cur had any idea of his identity. Two men had the seat behind him, und from talk ing of war they drifted into poWM and, naturally enough, Chandler's name becumo mixed up. Both men were red hot against him, aud directly one of them observed: "It's a wonder to mo that someone doesn't kill tho old blood letter." "Oh, he'll got his dose yet, and don't you forget it," replied the other. The senator turned slowly around, took a good look at both, aud then Midi "•Ucntleinen, please speuk a little low—l uiu Senator Chundlor myself." Ho thought he had thorn fron-n solid, but ho was mistaken. He had scarcely turned his head when one of them leaned forward and replied; " That's all right, pard, if you can boat tho conductor with it; but don't try Ut stuff us ! Wo met the old chap back in Owosso not an hour ago, waiting to go east, and it cost mo $52 uud a silver watch to call his hand! If you've a new racket trot it out— wt» are no give-a-ways." Tricks of Tramps. KivM ni'-n arrived at Mullan Tunnel, Montana, a few days ago. They naid they were destitute and anxious to work. Tho superintendent, after some talk with tho parties, agreed totpay them so much per day end bo responsible for their board and lodging. He gave each man an axe, with instructions to go into the timber and chop wood. The men took their axes and dinners and set out to the allotted task. Five <b»ys they oatuo and wont, looking each evening like men who had douo an honest day's work and faithfully earned their wages and rations, which they eagerly devoured. Tho sixth day arrived, but tho five liowors of wood were missing. Failing to flud  tho superintendent went into tho timber to see how much wood had boen chopped. His disappointment can be imagino.i when u.jt eren a chip is visible, where it was -nj.(.-.-•-1 cords of wood were piled. But in a cony nook, where the sun threw its brightest rays and the incline was tho gentlebt, five bo«k of the softest aud tenderost pine fitigcrs were found, and scattered around here aud there were biU of the dinner the toilers uever uofclected to bring with thorn to their sunny retreat.—White mull dresaes made up over ro«e and pale blue trilesia, and trimmed with a profusion of Moresque lace.

Bonestoole openod his ice-cream parlor on Friday evening last. The young ladies showed their appreciation of the event by their many smiles and longing glances in that direction, while tbo young man wears a disconsolate expression as he takes an inventory of cash, and finds only IT centß and a pants button— said button containing too many holes to be pounded into a three-cent piece. He dodges around the oorner when be soes bis best girl coming, and softly murmurs to himself: "This life is but an empty dream I" Both dictionaries and schoolars fail to an swer the question, which the opera with the title constantly raises, what is a mascotto! But the visitors of Monte Carlo tell us it is a fetiob—a luck-bringer. All gamblers are superstitious, and draw their inspirations from the oddest circumstances. A mascotto may be a son or a sixpence with a hole in it, a button, a lock of hair, anything which the punter has associated with a lucky turn. Alms to a beggar—mascotto; seeing a hunchback or a white horse—mascotto. Threo years ago a little hunchback at Monaco derived large returns from standing near tbo table and rubbing his hump at the request of the players. He had a tariff. Once, Ave francs; a long rubbing, ten francs; for standing half an bom behind a certain player and not rubbing for others, twenty francs. At the end of the season, returning to Paris on the train, he was seen to throw away bis hump. Mascotto is the opposite of jattatura or tl-e evil eye.
