LET me tell you there are little conspiracies all over the world against the people who think only of themselves, and are not considerate of others. I was once sitting beside a friend in the cars, when a large man entered with five members of his family. Before we saw him we heard him calling out, "Double up, gentlemen, double up, don't you see there's a family coming?" Eight or ten seats in the car were occupied by one man each. Not a person moved. Finally one man re-echoed in a waggish tone, "Why don't you double up, gentlemen, don't you see there's a family coming?" Our large friend was obliged to put his wife in one seat, his daughters in others, while he sat down by a colored woman near the door, and took his boy in his arms. If the gentleman had remembered, with a shade of regret, that it is some trouble to leave the seats in which people are comfortably arranged, and had said, "Will some of you gentlemen be so kind as to sit together to accommodate these ladies?" the matter would have been easily arranged, for most people are inclined to treat with kindness those who show themselves thoughtful for the comfort of others.—Congregationalist.
