Concluded.
The three days that I spent with Lew were pleasantly passed. In the fore- noon of the third day, Lew’s comrade, who was going with him, arrived in Greencastle, and insisted on taking the evening train.
Accordingly every thing was ranged ; and about seven o'clock we rre- paired to the depot to await the arrival of the nine o’clock westward bound train. Throwing aside our overcoats and hats, we seated ourselves for our last conversation.
Much sooner than we the whistle of the approaching train sound- ed in our ears. [accompanied them into the car, andas the train began to move away I pressed their hands, wished them a prosperous life and stepped from the car, glancing, as I went out, at the serene fuces of the passengers, little suspecting the horrible death that awaited many of them that night. I stood on the platform until the noise of the train died in the distance, and then went, with a heavy heart, to the hotel and retired to rest.
Whea [ arose on the following morn- ing I discovered, with much chagrin, that Lew had taken my overcoat In- stead of hisown. As iar as the value of the coats was concerned, | had lost nothing ; but several of my letters from Lenora and some other papers were in the pocket of mine, and thece I did not wish to lose.
I took the eight o’clock train for Clifton. My attention was so much at tricted by the scenery that was pre sented to my view as the flying train sped on its way, that [ soon forgot all about the exchanued overcoats.
All the day and the night the train went swiftly on its way, stopping oc- casionally to reccive or deposit passen- gers or to obtain a fresh supply of ‘water.
As the train stopped at the station a few miles from Clifton, just at the dawn ofday, I was horrified to hear that the train taken by Lew and his comrade had been thrown from the track and several of the passengers killed. I dreaded to hear the particulars of the disaster.
When I arrived at Clifton, the town was all excitement over the wrecked train. Full particulars had been re- eeived, and I was surprised to find my own name among the killed. Iimme diately remembered the exchanged overcoats, There now remained no doubt as to my dear friend being among the dead.
My parents were saved from great agony by my arrival home before they had learned that my name was on the list.
After spending two days at home I once more took passage in the stage- coach for Benton. There were several other passengers, and the time passed pleasantly away during the first day and the forenoon of the second. But! then an unexpected difficulty retarded! our journey. One of the wheels of the coach broke and had to be repaired be-| fore we could proceed. This occupied | the remainder of that day and all the next; so that the evening I should have been with Lenora found me several miles away.
Immediately after the accident, a messenger was despatched to Benton with the mail on horseback. I was absent with two or three others getting - timber with which to repair the broken wheel when he started and knew not that he was going until he was several miles on his way. Hence I did not send a line to Lenora explaining my failure to arrive. However,1 consoled

conscion-ness again. While this was! transpiring, I sat by her with her}
hands in mine and pressed frequent
kisses on her sweet youog lipsas her father |
unravelled the cause of the ange ene
circumstances which bad just taken piace. | it was late in the forenoon of that day |
when they learned of the messenger 8 ar-| rival with the mail. Lenora immediately |
went to the office in hopes of receiving a
letter from me, explaining my non-arrival ;
which they had concluded was on ac- count of the stage-coach’s failure to come. She received a letter and a package, which she supposed to be from me, and joyfully returned home. Sitting down on the sota, she laid the package down and opened the letter. He first glance
at the contents sent a pang to her heart. It was from a gentleman in a distant
town, stating that John Lawrence had been killed in the recent railroad disaster
and that his papers and money had been sent to her. Her first wild spell of grief was over when I arrived, and she was relieving her broken heart by almost si- lent suffering.
By the time her father had finished these explanations, Lenora had _ so fur revived as to be able to sit up and listen to my story of the the exchanged overcoats, and that it was my friend, Lew Rowland, who was killed in the wreck.
We opeved the package and found, be- sides my letters, over $200 in bank notes [ wrote tooneof Lew’s brothers io regard to the money; but before his reply ar- rived a letter from—Lew. He was not dead, as reported, but had only received a slight injury, from which he had re- covered, and was ready to resume his journey. He had loaned his overcoat to an invalid young man, who was killed when the disaster occurred. As he had the overcoat on that contained my let- ters and papers, it naturally resulted in the result which was made.
With Lew’s assistance the money was restored tothe proper parties.
A few weeks afterwards Lenora and [ were married. In the following spring we moved out here on the farm, where we have lived and loved ever since.

and all would yet be well.
On the morning of the fourth day we resumed our journey, and went very briskly all day. As twilight began to change into darkness, and here and there a star appeared in the azure sky, and the moon was slowly rising over the eastern mountains, the old stage edach drew up and stopped in front of alarge brick building in Benton, and the passengers alighted and dispersed.
I walked along the street to the resi- dence of Lenora’s father. 1 knocked at the door and was admitted to the parlor. There quite an-unexvected scene met my vision. Lostetd of Lenvra and Ler parents meeting we with extended #inds, they did not appear conscious of my c° freuce. Lenora sat on the sota, evidently » ‘ned atthe contents of a letter which she held in her hand. A package of pupers lay beside her on the sofa. Near her sat her father and mother. [stood for a mo-

POROUS PEASFERS. ve ee PUA The Greatest Medical Discevery since
the Creation of Man, or since the Commenceinent of the Christian Era.
There never has been a time when the heal- ng of so many different diseases has been eaused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
Dr. MELVIN’s CApstcuM POROUS PLASTERS are acknowledged by all whe have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plisiers are slow of action, and rejuire to be worn continually to effect a cure; jo with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the eifect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, cenvinced of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELvrn’s CApsiCcUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and al! such eases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain eure. ask your druggist for Dr. MBLVIN’s Capsicum Porous PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and
