Sc le sent for Mr. Nugent, and asked his par Ion for all he had said and thought abou lim. I heard every word that passed be ween them, and it was * strange oonver lation. Your father said this to him, among ither things : " Mr. Nugont, I am sure that you de rauded me out of my wealth; fbr imme liately after I gave up all my property foi he debts of the concern, and we had dis lived partnership, you engaged very ex ensively in business again and bough arge houses.

He took your father's hand anc vhispered to him that if he had wrongec lim, be would restore everything to hii on.

" Sir: I have been informed by a gentleman of wealth and respeotability, I mean Mr. Nugent, that some evenings ago you went home at the time that the express train was expected, and that it had to wait about fifteen minutes for yon to return.— We oannot allow such neglect on ouf road. The matter is too clearly proved to allow any excusc. Yon need not auswer this note, but will vacate your station to-morrow, as another, and I trust, a prompter young man has been employed to take your place." John could hardly believe his own oyes. He knew that he got back in time from his ■iok mother. Why should Mr. Nugent try to injure him 7 True, he had met Mr. Nugent on horseback the night he was running home to see his mother, bat the train was not yet due; and he got back in time too. Besides, it was on that very same night, but afterwards, that he had saved the life of Mr. Nugent's daughter. It was very hard to lose his place on a false charge, and especially through a man whose only daughter he had saved from a sudden death. Song for the Skedaddle Bangers; TTUKFORD HOUSE.

"No, my child, ho neglected his train one night, and came very near destroying a train of cars and many lives. I met him running home at night just as fast as he could, when he had ought to have been at his station. It was the same night the horses ran away with you, and I suppose it could not have been more than an hour before that accident happened. I informed the railroad president of the affair, and he was very properly dismissed." " 0 my dear father! you don't know rt-* t-,— * me yrronn «UD*« Y* "eglecting his train.

And what do you think he did, after tho train went away, and he started home again to see his mother. It was he who saved my life. He turned the horses aside from running into the lake, and he didn't want nr.e to tell you." " Can it he possible that I have done that young man such an injury ?" replied Mr. Nugent. He began to weep bitterly. I will make it right with him," replied Gertrude's father. And he did. His heart was totfehftd for the first timo since he had been a ehild. I will tell you what he said to John three days afterwards, and it Will form a good conclusion to my little history: " I have wronged you, John, as I did yotir father. Here is the deed for the house in which I live. It is yours, and your mother shall live with you. The house is your father's. I never owned it justly. Here is a check for fifty thousand dollars. I give it to you, as a present for your kindness in risking your life to Sate my daughter. If on shall have my thanks as long as you live. John, your kindness has made me a better man.

Gen. Nelson (same to one of the guards one evening, just after the countersign had been given out, and held something like the following conversation: . . . a . Guard—;Halt 1 Who ooraes there ?
