AUNT HEPSY’S HAIR TRUNK.
I.
:u:. rnlic.n
ich r fymi't v. •> op- um
lid m brass nails. Much than
it was broad or high, it boro a funeral
suggestiveness, and bespoke nothing
of the wardiobe it might contain.
Aunt Hepsy called it a hair trunk,
why we do not know, for there was
very little vestage of the capillary
substance visible on any part of it. It
was a historic trunk; she said it de
scended to her from the revolution—
and it certainly looked as though it
had.
Aunt Hepsy had never been much
of a traveler, and her experience, even
after fifty years, in that particular di
rection was limited ; however, on the
day of which we speak, she started on
a journey, she and the hair trunk, and
a bandbox, and a calico bag, and a
rose-bush. A niece who lived with
and bid fair to follow the maidenly
precepts of her aunt, assisted her in
packing, and saw her safely seated in
the antediluvian vehicle which wrs to
convey her to the railway, and it roll
ed away with this solitary passenger.
The vehicle had only proceeded a few
rods from the house when “Driver,
driver, hold on, stop,” was heard from
the inside of the cuach. “What’s the
matter raarm ?” asked John. “I for
got my uni berel; won’t you run back
and tell Jane to give it to you ? It’s
in the right hand corner of the keepin’
room pantry. Tell her to be kerful
and not knock down the penny royal.”
“Blame the umberelar,” qiloth the
king of the whip, as he dismounted,
and hurried toward the house. Hard
ly had he proceeded a dozen steps
when the horses started ; moved by
some unprecedented impulse they
broke into a run, and shouts of “whoa,
whoa, driver, driver,” issued from be
hind the flapping curtains of the
coach Suddenly there was a cessa
tion and a moment later could you
have looked iuto the coach you would
have seen the driver fanning Aunt
Hepsey with the lid of that favorite
band-box.
As she opened her eyes and looked
half consciously into the driver’s face,
her first words were "Is the trunk
sa:enot fora moment realising the
romance of tier position. “I guess so,
maim, but if we keep on this way, I
can t ketch ;hat there train no how ”
Everything being restored to order
again, the driver mounted his seat and
they rolled away once more. Every
thing went Smoothly except when the
wheels struck an occasional stone in
the road, which did not improve Aunt
Heps/’s opinion oi traveling, nor the
condition of the rose-bush.
lliev arrived at the station just in
time to join the eorriuai a >-.. *.-l -■•he
were rushing hither and thither. Aunt
Hepsy became mixed up iu the multi
tude, was whirled, and jostled along.
aL the time calling at the top of her
voice “where’s my trunk, where’s my
trunk ? Have you seen anything of
my trunk ! she asked the engineer as
she Etched up against the side of the
cab ; a terrible shriek of the whistle,
and the hiss of demons startled the
old latiy oft uf her feet,■ and the next
moment she tumbled in at the bag
gage car door much disconcerted. “O
my trunk” she murmured.
“What is (he matter with yer
trank A’ inquired an abl(-bodied ba; -
gage smasher. “Does this part go to
Newark?” she inquired; then with
satisfaction beaming in her eyes and a
smile gradually spreading itself over
her bewildered features, she exclaim
ed: “Laws! there’s my trunk now,”
and quietly seated herself on her prec
ious old revolutionary friend. Be it
said to the everlasting credit oi that
baggage smasher, he escorted her to a
comfoi table seat m another car, and
the train started. “Elizabeth,” shout
ed a man at tho door, as the train
soon halted before another station,
“Elizabeth,” shouted another one at
another door. Aunt Hepsy looked in
quiringly round for a moment or so,
no one got up ; then she remarked to
a gentleman in the next seat, “l guess
Elizabeth ain’t here.”
“Fare, madam, fare,” asked a very
spruce looking young man of Aunt
Hepsy, as the train once more moved
along. “Well, lam very sorry, but I
didn’t bring any ticket with me; if I
had thought there was a chance to
sell any 1 would have certain,” said
the old lady. “Fare, madam,” repeat
ad the conductor. “I was just sayin’
that I hadn’t none with me, would
like 10 commodate you but perhaps
if you're anxious you might drop a
line to Jane. The fair don’t come off
in three weeks yet ” continued Aunt
Heps'*. “I don't cure about the fair,

“Hack ma’am,” “Hack ma’am,”
“Hack ma’am.” “Yes, hacked all to
pieces,” remarked Aunt Hepsy as she
was assailed by half a dozen sharks,
“rose-bush gone and just look at this
band box, with my bran new hat in
it.” “Hack ma’am,” shouted one ira
portunate individual as he grabbed at
the band-box which now looked like a
used up accordeon. In spite of pro
tests he seized the box, and was lead
ing the old lady along tho platform.
■ “Well I never. I told Jane it would
be just so, everything mixed; Mr,
young man where be you goin’?”
“Got a nice hack, ma’am ; take you
anywhere, hotel, private house; take
you anywhere that yon may wish to

“Well, you are accommodatin’. I m
glad I met you; if it had not been for
you I don’t know what I would have
done.”
“Here’s the back, git right in, have
you any baggage ?”
“Yes, yes, I’ve got a trunk; a hair
trunk”
“Then give me your check mad
am.”
“Oh, that’s it, now be careful, do
not drop that trunk for there is a jar
of preserves in it and it might get
broke.”
Away went Ihe driver on his search,
leaving the lady to her cogitations;
every sign in readable distance was
duly perused and her in usings were
only interrupted by a boy who put his
hwadinio tho window and shouted,
“black yer boots.” “The insolent
Glitter,” thought Aunt He F sy, “as
though my boots needed blacking.”
“They must have your trunk
a pretty good shaking down out here,
ma’am ; ain’t much left of it. but the
straps,” remarked the driver as he re
tained with the precious piece of bag
gage.
“They did use it a little careless,”
replied Aunt Hjpsy, “the man that
was taking care of it they say got
killed, stove upsot on him arid roasted
him ; but the trunk I guess wasn’t
scorched. Driver, just run over to

“Why, in Newark of course—he's a

“l don’t care about that what is

“Oh ! his name’s Prosper.
“Prosper what?”
“Prosper Judge, named after our
late respected pastor; his father lives
down to the Corners, and his sister
made so much talk by her coming to
church with a strange young man
with a blue neck tie and—”
“But I don’t see as how- that’s to
the pint. I wanted to kr ovv the num
ber and the street where your nephew
lives.”
“Here it is, right here, 911 a card
that Jaue writ and gave me when I
was startin’ ”
“All right ma’am,” and the
o’d lady knew it, there was svsudden
start that nearly threw her out of her
seat
In due time the carriage halted in
front of a comely brick dwelling, the
door opened and there stood the
nephew
4 Law sakes, Prosper, how do you
do? Oh deai me, what a nice Louse
you've got, nut I’m tired out; why
didn’t you paint your blinds green ?
Look out for that hair trunk.”
All this was spoken while she was
going up the steps, and at the lop she
mat Prospers wife and hero again
she stopped.
“Why, Susan ! how do you do ; if
you knew how glad I was to get here;
just look at that cobweb on your hall
lamp. Jane said—but, me, I’m so
fluttered. I don’t know what all she
did tuiy. I thought I never would'
get hero ; my best bonnet is all mash

At the conclusion of Aifbt Hepsy’s
vis>t to the Judge mansioA, she had
so far recovered irora her fatigue and
trepidation that it was decided she
should visit another nephew in Boston,
the Rev. Partimmon Packer ; further
more, to make the trip as agreeable as
possible, Prosper was to go with her
as far as New York, and then see her
safely on board tho Fall river boat.
The hair trunk meanwhile had been
neatly repaired and was in as good
condition as ever, barring its faded and
ancient look, and Susan had put a few
extra touches on Aunt Hepsy’s bon
net, which gave it a more recent air.
Her old shawl gave way to a brand
new cloak, and there was a general
transformation in her appearance. She
looked ten years younger than when
she arrived in Newark. Still all these
elegaucies of attire could not extin
guish those characteristics cf person
which distinguish her from other in
dividuals. How many times she in
quired of Prosper concerning the safe
ty of that trunk as they hurried along
on the cars, it would be difficult to
enuu evate. At last the}’ stood togeth
er on the wharf close by the steamer ;
Prosper saw her safely on board and
then hurried off toward home. As she
sat looking out of the window of the
ladies’ cabin she discovered her trunk
on thejwharf and alarmed lest it should
be left behind she hurried out and
along the gang plank just iu time to
meet a truck lead of baggage. The
porter did not see her but kept on, the
truck struck the old lady; there was a
squeak and a splash ; a few minutes
after a very wet old lady was carried
into the cabin; she didn’t look so
pretty as she did a few minutes before.
IS be was put in charge of the stewar
dess, and the hair trunk was restored
too. An hour later shi occupied -ne
of the s 'fas in tho cabin arrayed in
other attire and seemingly as compos
ed as ever. Just then an elderly, be
nevident-looking gentleman approach
ed iit-r, 9pd ig'ii quiet way inquired:

“May I ask. ” inquired the gentle
man, “who yum nephew, the pastor,
is ?”
“Certainly,” replied Aunt Hepsy.
“He’s my brother's oldest son, and
lives up to Boston. They say he’s one
of the best preachers thereabouts.
He’s preached there ten years.”
“Yes,yes,” mused the old gent, “and
his name is Rev. P. Pucker.”
“How did you know it?’ asked
A*mt Hepsy, with a start.
“Because he was installed ten years
ago, and I am a deacon in

“You don’t say it. I’ve heard Persy

to pull the cloth over a worn button
on his coat.
‘ Now, deacon, how can I thank you;
did you see anything of my calico bag?

“They have just started.”
‘ You don't mean to say they have

Hepsy nervdnsly. “Steam engines,'
suggested till) deacon, ‘the motive

“Surely dea< on : yes I see ; but I
don t think they are much safer than a
veal Injiu,” and Aunt Ilcpsy went on
with a long-account of her experience
to which the deacon listened with
oviden t pleasure.
“There ma’am,’ said he, rising from
h’s seat and pointing out of the w n
dow, “there is Castle Garden, iv famous
old builing where Jenny Lind once
sung.”
“Yes, and would yon be.iovo it, ob

The trip to Boston was entirely
without incident. Our hero-iuu was
safely landed at the parsonage, the
deacon was seeing her to the door
in spite of the fact that his pastor had
met her at the station.
Originally she had meditated only
a short visit, but.weok after week pass

ly every day might have been seen in
front of the mansion, the deacon s
horse and new chaise. Where was
the deacon ? Wbv he was inside of

HIS CONTINUOUS JOURNEY.
Recently a man with ml mud on bis
boots.and weariness all over him en
tered a car of an incoming train at a
station a dozen miles or so from New
York. When the conductor came
along the weary man drew from his
pocket the last half of an excursion
ticket betwen New York and a station
some half dozen miles beyond where
be entered the train, and on another
bianc.h of the road over which the
train had not passed.
The conductor quietly returned the
ticket and remarked, “Not good,” at
the same time pointing to a stipula
tion on the ticket, which said that in
consideration of the reduced rate the
company would only accept the ticket
for “one continuous journey.”
The weary man looked inquiringly
into the glare of the conductor’s lan
tern, and said •
“Wall?”
“Y r ou stopped over at the last sta
tion,” exclaimed the conductor, “and
so you are not making one con tinuous
journey.’ ”
“Hav do you know I ain’t?’ weari
ly asked the passenger.
“Because tins train hasn’t been on
the other branch at all,” said the con
ductor, showing signs of impatience.
“What has this train to do with my
continuous journey ?” questioned the
man also getting impatient'.
As though propounding a question
that would put a stop to further talk,
the conductor asked:
“Well, bow could you make a con
tinous journey on this train from a
place this train doesn't go at all?”
Adding tnat the rules cf the compa
ny were peremptory, and must bo on.

“I ain’t said nothing about this
train,” replied tne weary man, evident
ly much disgusted. “I footed it all
the way to the junction, after I found
the last train had gone, and got here
just in time to huDg on to this train
as it was starting ; and if that ain’t a
continous journey I’d like to know
what is.”
The hilarity of the other person, in
the car seemed to annoy their weary
fellow passenger, and he explained, as
the conductor passed on, that be would
like to know “If the rules of the com
pany prevented a man from walking
over their road on an excursion ticket.

In Southland, some years ago, when
the venerable Judge Fowler was on
the bench, a man was arrested for car
rying “brass knuckles,’ and the terri.
hie weapons were confiscated. The
statute in force at that time provided
that articles of that kind should beta
ken by the sheriff and placed where
they would “never 1 e found any more.”
The court instructed the sheriff as to
the law, at which the officer demurred,
saying that ho did not know of any
such place. A half tipsy lawyer, whom
everybody supposed to b asleep, sad
der.yl arose to his left, \\ it .l too i<-
mark, “May it please the court, is the
sheriff seems to be at a loss whore to

Once there, they never will be heard
