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, what I— ” “Well, then, what del you speak about it for? interrupted the olel lady. “What I want is your rail road ticket; where are you going ?” asked the conductor. “Oh, laws, why and. you sav so ; howsomever I’m go ng to Newark, and 1 wish you’d be go >d enough to stop at my, nephew’s bo imp ; it’s one with brown blinds and j a silver door bell instead of a ktyocker, Li Mif.'il* 1 got an v ticket.” ; -:A m -r. ’ Just uf chat juncture■ l-t-mr* ea> a sudden confusion ; tlW’cur rear e. pi tinged and stopped short. Aunt Hepsy turned a double summersault over the beats in front, of her, and landed against the wood box; the rose-bush demolished, that beautiful " • uid-box twisted into unrecognizable •h>, the conductor in fclio course of getting had sat down on it was unhurt, and with un m, she turned to the it, beside her, and tis this?” “Don’t “Do %y ?” asked the *.fc the door d?” and aged ’ *t ELBERTON, GEORGIA.

H. “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 g°” “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 that insurance office and a. k the man what he will charge to insure my life. I cannot take the responsibility of taking care of myst.ii ttiucu long er,” “Can't tlo it inarm ; no time nmy.

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 e I. and I had to give the rose bush to . bov to carry and I never saw it 'uf ter that; law ! what a pretty collar you have got on, and where did you get that beautiful pin with the rubies in it?” 4 Why, Aunty, ain't yon most tired out?” ‘•Tired, child; that’s no word for it I thought I never would get here. The engineer b’oke looso and run smash into another, and a man with a big sign on bis hat came to me and ; cys lie, ‘old woman, bo you ranch hurt? and says i, ‘I ain’t hurt and I ain't no old woman either, -and sir, s !:e, ‘it's a wonder; (<e Hwwi t> 'Tee “X four Lrobided,' “dual Ui think of th: . bun dred old women being -Killed, says J ; ‘is my trunk safe?’ Bays he, ‘I guess so ma'am’— Oh, 4aw me, I m so tir ed.” „ ~ ‘ Here’s your trunk, Aunty, said Prosper, as bo brought a bundle of laths into the hull. “Is that my trunk," gasped the old lady. “Bakes, Prosper, how under the canopy can I ever getaway from New urk. All, ruined ! And l sot so much store by it. To think that old grand ma Charity's trunk should come to such an end! If that man that was takin’ care of it was only alive, I’d like to see him just to tell him what 1 think of him- But we must unpack it, Prosper." And they did unpack it ; but a sad sight indeed was it. There was the jar pf quince preserves iashed aJ 1 ovcr Au*t Hepsy’s best ESTABLISJTBD 1850. cap, which lay deeply imbedded in a pumpkin pie: over it was generously spread all her stjnff, by way of spice ; a bottle of hair dya had soaked its way through tiu purple and line linen into E'n/jT on life bottom of wnicT'Viß* y ’ V.lve eomfortoi Prosper bed 01 p maid, ran La lass or wirier: evident thfjt Accumulated misfortunes had overcome Aunt Hepsy, for Pros per was only through with his work in time to save her from eittin down in the coal hod. She had fainted. 111. 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: “AU* you snfforiu from tne euects of your fail, ma'am V A a nfc Hepsy stammered and hesitat ed a little, and then pulling out one of her new hem-stitched, Replied, -not particularly; a little sore m spots hew somever ; 1 suppose it always happens to people who travel. It’s temptin’ Providence, as I heard my nephew say once in a sermon, to try to carry sweet meats and rose-bushes on a railroad train.” “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 Deacon Squeakleather, if you pleat a ” “You don’t say it. I’ve heard Persy speak cf you agin and agiu. Wny, dgacon, If el as though I had known you for years.” “I n-La helped you out of the wa ter,” continued the deacon, as he tried 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? Now come to think, I haven’t seen any thing of that big since, and the trunk —my Imir trunk—l do wish 1 knew what hud become of that. What dues make this boat shake so?” f it’s the engines,” replied tliedoac< n. “They have just started.” ‘ You don't mean to say they have Irijins üboaid, do you 1 inquired Aunt Hepsy nervdnsly. “Steam engines,' suggested till) deacon, ‘the motive prnver of civilisation ” “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 served Aunt Hepsy, “there was Pros per, put on his best clothes, came all the way down .from the Comers to har bur Ring, utaid a week, and would you boh -vo it when hit came home he was so particular, ho said there *v..hu t •; ,; i: Vi lV tovVM COUlll SlHg bite ...c.Hind 1:0 -nad Inn impwiteuohhf'* tdl the toad r of our choir, that, sue could not. hold a candle to her, and he actually laughed at lmr when she said she’d jest like to try her on old Wind ham once.

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 ed away ; still she remained, and near 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 course, seeing after church matters Nothing of the sort. He was sitting on the- sofa by the side of Aunt Hepsy as chigp as a chirping bird.

There it is, just look there,” she said holding out her hand, upon one finger of which was a bright ring. “When,” inquired the pastor. “Next week,” replied the old lady, “and I’ve sent for Jane and Prosper, and all the folks to come up, and” — just then there was a ring at the door bell, the door opened, and a stoat'fel low brought in a stylish new trunk , marked in big letters on the end, “Hepsy Tublins Blimkin Squeakleath er.”—Watertown (N. Y.) Reunion 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. forced. “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. pT T T THEM IN OHA.NCEBT. 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 place the knuckles so that they wi.l never be found any more, I move that the court instruct him to place them at the foot of the choncciy docket.
