A RAILROAD FLIRITATION.

v. M‘W.~w -

‘ K noxaul ’ shunted thc In‘ukcmnn, opening ihc car door as the train paus'cd bcforc a pleasant lit- tlc station on the Harlem Railroad. .

I don’t know as I should have particularly noticed that we stop ed at all, for I had bccu napping it for some miles; but, just as I was cast- ing an enquiring, slccpy look out of the window, and scttling myself for another nicsla, my attcu- tiun was attracted by the entrance of a young lady, a way passcugcr, who, perceiving thc car chI fillcd,pauscd bcforc me in cvidcut cuiburruss- Incnt.

I scarcply wish the rcndcr to infcr from this that there wot-c no vacant. seats; on the contrary, the chair I occupied was sclflshly monopolizod by my shawl and valisc which had cxcludcd many an n iplicuut. and so the moment I obscrvcd thc car door open, I mentally resolved not to budge an inch ; but a glance at the new comer changed my mind.

She was a young lady of cxcccdiug bounty. drcssctl in the rich and tasty style of tho prcscul fashion. Whothcr it was hcr gent.ch aspect, or the soft mclancholy of Ilcr dark improssivc eyes. I cannot say, but whcu shc ventured. almost iimidly, to cnquirc ifthc Itulfficul at my side ‘ was engaged,’ I gnllnntly arose and prull'crcd it to hcr ut uncc. I must acknowledge I felt somewhat llattcrcd by her prcfcrcncc, for though a young man and tolcrnbly good looking, I had thc sense in pcrccivc thct‘c wcrc fur bcttcr me" around. “‘lm. like me, might Innvc shurcd thcir chair with tho handsome lady stranger. I foucicd thcy envied me, too, as the fair girl out plump down, and her dainty form ucsilcd clusc to my sidc.

'1 fcar I huvc disturbcd you,’ said my cum- panion in a low, swcct voicc, that thrilch Inc with its soft cadencc.

‘ Not at all. Miss,’ I rcjninnd with stcrcutypcd

ucrvc, and talked and chatted with stain the moat plcasant manner possible. It is needless to say that in an hour’s time, I had so for advanced in her good graces, as to venture to was her hand. and the swcet, linlf—coqucttiah smile that played around the corners of Ilcr cherry lips, did not seem to disapprove of the liberty I had takcu.

‘ Do you know,’ said she, as’ we sat chatting confidentially together, ‘ that I liked your face the first moment I saw it.’

‘ It was sympathetic on both sides then,’ I whispered, rowing so near that I could feel her hot brcaib fnu my check.

‘ch,’ she murmured, gently withdrawing hcr- sclf from my glowing ctuhroce, for we had passed through the tunnel, and I had taken a nvcr's advantage and suatchcd a hasty kiss,

' You are n naughty man, the uaughtiost man I over saw.’aho said in a low and tremulous tone. ‘ If a should be on the train, what would he soy?’

' over four, ‘ sweet creature ;’ I rejoined car- ucstly, ‘ your cross old father is milcs away, and let us improve the present opportunity.’

‘ Arc you nwurc? sho obaercd, half mischiev- onsly, ‘that thorn in another tunnel beyond, a great dcul darker too than the one we have left I’

.‘ I know it,’ said I, with n tender ginncc at my :im; pnslnvcr. ‘ “'0 are drawing near to it vcry

Al good looking young mcn arc vain, you know—to cr- ccivc that my Iovcly companion cluu more a cc— tlonutcly tn mc than before, indeed. had scarce- ly timc to tcurmynclf from her arms when we (‘ltwrgml uncc more into broad daylight. Shc had lct hcr vail drop nvcr hcr facc, but I could dctcct the crimson flush through the fine not Work of lace. IIcr voicc betrayed much agita- tiun us she whispered:

'I have gouc‘too fur with you, sir; alas, you havc crowd to rcspoct mc.’

‘ My swcctcharmcr,’ I rciuiucd, ‘lct us cvcr bc friends, givc me your uumc and nddrcss I’

‘ My unmc and mltlrcss !’ shc rcspmulcd, ‘ you must ucvcr know; Iulrcudy fch frightcncd to think how far I have pcrmitlcd mysclf to venturc with a strungcr. Forgive and furgct mo.’

‘ A flirt, a coqucttc !’

' No, no ;' she rcturucd hurriedly, pressing m ' hmul. ‘ I am not is flirt. but 1 tlnrc unt,—-—ns muc I us] think of you. I dare not lct thc acquaint- nncc procccd furlltcr. Ilnvc pity upon me! have pity I’

She Iookcd so plcndingly, so cntrcutiugly with ilmsc soft (lurk cycs glcumiug through the silken Incsbcs of law vail, that I could not persuade my. sclf to bc ofl‘cmlod with hcr. At last she rc. Iuctuntly conscntcd to givc her namc, and, hand- iugmc n n-cttily cmhusscd card, I rcad, Kerr DARREL, .‘o l'nivcrsity I’Incc.’

The train had rcacbcd Thirty-sccond street, and I could cnsily scc that my fair cnamoruta grcw cvcry momcut morc rcstlcss and disturbcd. First llcr licud pccrcd out of thc window, then

politcucss. 'I am too happy to bbligc vou.’

Shc buwcd nml smilcd in rcply. and a short pnnsc cnsnml, as is usual on such suddcn ac- quaintanccsbips. In the mcauwhilc. the train had started, and wc rattled swiftly through the fields and woods, now decked in the livcly tints of Spring. Thc conductor camc in. and went through his customary routine of cxnmining thc iickcls. I pcrccircd hcr's was morka for Ncw York. and aftcr sonic hesitation, I said:

‘ You go to the city?’

‘ ch,’ she rcplied with a smilc of winning can- dor; ‘that, I prcsumc, you have ulrcudy found out.’

‘I shall kccp your company, ihcn,’ I nbscrvcd plcnsautly.

‘ Drcadfnl. indeed I ' echoed I.

‘ Ami,’ added my companion with nnivcttc, ‘ it. is so unpleasant to travel unnttcndcd. I usually Imvc my brother Charlcy with me; be. Is a splendid cscnrt.

‘If you will allow mc.’ said I, quitc gallantly, 'I will gladly occupy that position.’

'I am much obliged to you, sir,’ rc lied the young lady, with a grateful glance from ier dark orbs. ' yet I am half frightened to think I am ac- cepting the escort of a stranger. not that I fcar you, sir ; but, alas! I bavc ajcnlous fathcr.‘

‘ A jealous father! ’ I rcpcatod somcwhnt puz- zlcd and surprised.

‘ .-\h, ycs,‘ sighcd the young lady. 'It is my misfortnnc, while having wcuIth, hcnlth and al- most evcrythiug that the heart can wish, to bc under the control of an old stop-father, who treats mo of‘tcntimcs in thc most crncl manner; dobers me from the socicty of your sex. shuts me up in the gloomy confines of my chamber, and treats mc with pitiloss rigor, if I do so much as to spcak or to look at a man.’

‘ What a monstcr I ’ I ejaculated, with a face of mclodramntic sympathy.

‘That is the rcason.’ she continued. looking around her half fearfullv as she spoke, ‘ that is the moon why I am so dilhdcut about entrusting my- sclf to your carc, but I do it on one condition.’ ‘Name it,’ I rcjoincd,charmcd and doligbtcd with the strange confidence the young lady was repoaing in me.
