Ills Continuous Journey.
New York Sun.
Last evening a man with red mud on
his boots and weariness all over him
entered 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 vest poc
ket the last half of an excursion ticket
between New York and a station some
half dozen miles beyond where he en
tered the train, and on another branch
of the road over which the train had
not passed. The conductor quietly re
turned the ticket and remarked, “ Not
good,” at the same time pointing to a
stipulation 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, “ Waal ?”
“ You stopped over at the last sta
tion,” explained the conductor, “ and
so you are not making ‘ one continuous
journey.’ ”
“ llow do you know I ain’t ?” weari
ly asked the passenger.
“ Because this 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, how
could you make a continuous journey
on this train from a place this train
doesn’t go at all ?” Adding that the
rules of the company were peremptory,
and must be enlorced.
“ I ain’t said nothing about this
train,” replied the 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 hang on to this train as it was
starting ; and if that ain’t a continuous
journey I’d like to know what is.”
The hilarity of the other persons in
the car seemed to annoy their weary
fellow passenger, and he explained, as
the conductor passed on, that he would
like to know “ if the rules of the com
pany prevented a man from walking
over their d —d old road on an excur
sion ticket.”
Nevs Letter : A few da3’S ago a
tramp who was sparring his devious
way along, near Reno, conceived a bril
liant idea for raising the wind. lie
knew that the Wells Fargo stage would
pass along that road in about half an
hour, so he took off his coat, tore his
shirt and pockets, rolled himself in the
dust, and finally tied himself, with
much difficulty, to a tree. His inten
tion was to tell the stage passengers
that he had been foully dealt with by
highwaymen, and have a subscription
to repair his losses taken up on the
spot. The stage, however, took a short
cut by anew road that day, and didn't
go by at all. After waiting until dusk,
the tramp tried to take off his bonds,
but, before he got the first knot loose,
a grizzly came down out of the moun
tain and picknicked off the greater
part of his left leg.
Anderson Intelligencer, 17 th : Avery
sad accident occurred on last Friday
morning at the gin house of Mr. B. F.
Hammond, about four miles east of this
place, resulting in the death of a little
son about nine years old of Mr. Lewis
Smith, who had carried a load of cot
ton to the gin, taking his little boy with
him. It was the child’s first visit to a
gin house, and, as might have been ex
pected, the most attractive feature
about the place to him was the horses
and machinery underneath the gin.
He had been there about half an hour
when he got upon the shaft under the
cog-wheel, and while riding around was
caught by the neck between an arm of
the cog-wheel and a gallows which sup
ported the band-wheel. The space
through which his neck was forced was
about two inches. He lived until next
morning, when he died, medical aid
failing to prolong his life.
A family of Turks, consisting of a
father, mother, three sons, and a daugh
ter, have settled in Knoxville, having
fled from the Forte's dominion because
oppressed by Turkish tyranny. One
of the sons is a physician, one a tailor,
and one a shoemaker. The father de
sired, he said, to see his children pro
tected and enjoying the free air of lib
erty. They asked no alms of any one.
The physician desired to be employed
by residents of the Tennessee town, or
by the government.

A VISION OF TIIE LONG AGO.
For The Hartwell Sun.
t’he bright visions of tho past still
haunt my dreams, though the sunshine
of hope that once beamed upon my
pathway is extinguished, and the bright
anticipations of future happiness with
Her l lore have faded : yet the delight
fid vision • that once enveloped me in
a dr.'amy heaven visit me again, and
l wan ler through dreamland joyous
and happy. Like an angel of light
she meets me when Morpheus embraces
and soothes ray weary spirit with his
gentle influence. I have battled hard
to overcome the emotions of my heart,
and have thought that I had succeeded,
but, alas! when lain aroused from one
of those happy dreams, my heart strug
gles hard with its fetters and longs to
twine its deepest, tendercst affectiou.s
around one that cannot, will not re
spond to its wooings—without one rny
of hope to cheer it on, it bows at a
shrine that will not accept its devotion.
The only reward it ever receives is the
affection she gives when sleep shuts
out the sad realities of the day, for stilt
she hires me in my and renvoi. I do not
entertain the faintest hope that she will
ever be mine in this world ; but per
haps 1 eyond the weary confines of
earth where sad disappointments cease
and we fully realize our brightest hopes,
then perchance 1 may call her mine.
Perhaps she will recognize the humble
spirit, who gave to her its best and
brightest thoughts; the spirit that paid
at her shrine its most devout homage.
Perhaps when wo quit the shores of
time she will permit mo to spread my
pinions to the celestial breezes that
play around the azure vault of Heaven
and escort her lovely spirit to its na
tive paradise amid tho cerulean fields
of chaos. [We would remind our cor
respondent that it will be necessary for
him to cut a couple of pigeon wings
before lie can do that.— Eds.] Then
when it reaches the pearly portals that
are ever opened to admit the redeemed
of earth to their eternal home of hap
piness, may 1 be permitted to stand
upon one of the glittering domes of the
New Jerusalem and watch her as she
wings her way through the golden
streets and sapphire plains that lead to
tiie Great White Throne of ilimbefore
whom there is none else, and may I
listen, too, to the melting strains of
i divine melody that shall float from her
harp as she sounds a pean of praise to
God and the Lamb. There I could sit
through the endless ages of eternity
and feast my eyes upon her angelic
beauty. There I -could unwearied stay
and drink in the sweet strains of music
as it pushed from her soul in songs.
As she rivalled the angelic hosts in love
and adoration to the immortal King of
Heaven iny soul would expand with de
votion to her who lias ruled it so long,
and were it permitted to utter one note
of praise I fear it would be to her and
not to Him that made it. May Heaven
forgive my idolatry. Too long have I
worshipped the creature instead of tho
Creator. I have yielded to the emo
tions of my heart till even rny soul is
lost in admiration of its Queen. It
lias been my chief delight to worship,
to idolize the lovely being who inspired
my heart with love in the long ago.

LaGrunye Reporter: One night when
the Congressional Convention was in
session in Newnan, some of “the hoys”
got a brass hand and serenaded their
“distinguished fellow-citizens’’ who
made up the hulk of the delegates pres
ent. Among the others serenaded, was
(.'apt. llenry Persons, who responded in
a speech which would not have done dis
credit to Mark Twain. He put his head
out of the window, and, as we are in
formed, spoke in substance as follows:
“ Fellow-citizens, I thank you cordially
for this serenade. lam proud to be
serenaded by a brass hand. If there is
anything in the world I would like to
play on it is a brass band, and I have
felt so from my youth. I am from the
pine woods of Talbot county, where we
never have any brass band, and we
never hear any, unless we go away from
home to hear it. Caesar had his Brutus,
and Charles I. his Cromwell; but pine
knot district of Talbot county has never
had its brass band. If you were to go
down there and serenade me and my
neighbors at home, with a brass baud,
we’d think the gyascutus had come, and
we’d take to the woods. I have but two
ambitious in this life. One is to be a
congressman, and the other is to be a
brass band. And when I go to Wash
ington, I am going to buy a large-size,
double-back-action brass band, and I
want every one of you to come and see
me and you shall play on it. Fellow
citizens, I bid you good night.”
