“Camphire ! Onmphiro ! I know lah all
faint lluail away 1”
Tho pretty nieces of Aunt Criwiy Jnrola-
Jnnn malted around in tlie (greatest state of
excitement, until a huge bottle of the pow
erful diaphoretic hud been found and held
to her nostrils in so forcible n manner as
to almost takeaway her breath.
“Goodness gracunis, (.tils!” she rontin
nod, with vehement exclamation; with her
face drawn into the most comical, though
painful contortions, and her old eyes rain
ing down tears, “do you want tu strangle
body ?”
“No, Aunty, but—"
“You baint got no sense, TTowsomcver
I 'wposoyou moan well enough arter all.”
The pow old soul drew from the capa
cious black silk work pocket she always
carried suspended from her belt on the
outside of her dress an immense red ban
danna handkerchief mid blow her nose as
if she was boot upon its utter demolish
ment.
“What is the matter with you, Aunty ?”
rtttd Kate Cline, the eldest of the nieces,
while her sister Agnes stood wondering
how any human organ could give vent to
such tremendous blasts, and stand the
pressure.
"Matter, child ? Didn’t you hear what
Hiram (her brother) just carried iu and
told roe V"
“I heard uncle say something about a
wedding. That was all.”
“All ! llow you do talk. All ? Hut
come to consider, you don’t know the par
ties.”
“I certainly have not that pleasure,
Aunty, being u stranger in Alderdell.”
"Pleasure ?” and the now red nose of
the old lady went up with a sniff at the
idea. “Pleasure, indeed ! Well, it might
he to some folks; lint I never heard any
thing so preposterous in all my life. Just
to think of old Hally Haekott’s goin’ til be
married ?”and as if overcome by the inqvn
she lay hack in her stuffed Boston rocker,
mid used her immense fan of turkey feath
ers with powerful effect.
Aunt Christina (Crissy, for short ) .Terol
(iiniin was one of the antiquated ladies
sometimes to be found, respected for her
virtues and laughed atfor her peculiarities.
Bhe was n little, nearly dried-to-a-inumruy
spinster, who fancied every city to be a
Bodom—ft very hot-bed of wickedness
slid whom nothing could have tempted tt> j
have entered a “show” of any kind—who
stuck to the country and primitive fash
ions, had a little money, which she care
fully husbanded (she would have blushed
scarlet at the word) lived with her mar
ried brother, Hiram made herself gener
ally useful and officious, and could gossip
faster, and drink more mid hotter tea than !
;any one in the neighborhood. In fact, it
tqipenred as if she had done tin l hitter un
til her skin became thoroughly tanned and
of a deep saffron hue.
Though she had never been known to ■
faint but once in her life (and that was
when she had her single offer of marriage, :
which being Iron} a “scalawag," title whs
too wise to Accept) yet she declared a hun
dred times a day she was going to do so,
and kept “cnmfire” ever ready, and in suf
flcient quantities to have supplied a coun
try drug-store.
Usually, however, she soon recovered;
but this one lasted for some time, and she
oxpatiuted at length upon it and ventilated
her ideas of tlio “eternal fitness” (she had
once heard a “high-down” dominie use
the expression, thought it superb, and
when endeavoring to impress her auditors
repeated it again mid again) in a manner
that somewhat alarmed her young nieces
for her sanity.
“That Sally Saekett,” she resumed, "is
as old as the hills, and gray as my ent
what little hair she has got left. She
hasn't scarcely any teeth, can't hoar or see
very well, ana just tu think of her goiu’ to
marry a young man 1”
"A young man, Aunty?” and both of
the girls held up their hands in horror at
such a proceeding.
"Sartinly. Josh Spencer—one young
enough to be her son any day in the
week.”
“And lie going to marry such an old wo
man ? Impossible 1”
“So I would have thought. But Booms
to be a fact, and I guess it is for her mon
ey."
“Then she is rich ?”
“Rich ns mud and twice as homely.
Lor', what am the world coming to ? I
do think I shall faint. Hand me the cam
fire.”
Leaving her to recover at her leisure,
the girls rushed out to where they saw
their cousins, Fred and Jini, intent upon
being more fully posted as to the nows and
the circumstances attending to it. Soon
they were busily engaged in expressing
their opinion, and plotting treason against
such proceedings matrimonial.
“It’s a burning shame and a disgrace,”
exclaim and Kate, her eyes Hashing with in
dignation. “O, how 1 wish I was a man!”
“I don’t,” replied Fred, looking at the
flushed T ee, and then blushing himself,
so as to be pair. ful. “Tint what do you
want to be a man for, Kilty ?” he contin
ued, hurriedly, and to cover his confusion.
“I don’t mean all the while,” slio an
swered, either innocently or craftily, “on
ly for a time. Then w ouldn’t Ido some
thing to break up such a horrid match.” •
“And I’d help you,” replied her sister,
with the greatest enthusiasm.
“Go ahead, girls. Ton plan, and we’ll
execute,” put in Jim. “See if we don't.”
Though sweet Kitty lClise, ns her
would-be lovers called her, was the very
incarnation of nnsehief, and found no dif
fleblty in giving vent to her indignation,
she did in advising w lint was to be done.
“They shouldn’t lie married," slic declared
Again aDd Again, though how to prevent
such a calamity was as far from being de
termined upon us ever. >
Meanwhile the young bean was court
ing flic antiquated maid, and all who kmw
them among the younger portion of the
congregation grow ing more and more out
raged, and all the elders expressing their
opinion that nothing good could come out
of it.
Aunt Crissy hail called upon her life
long associate, and advised Slid rebuked.
She told her timt the young chap could
hnv lnit one possible motive, and that
was money; said that she (Bully Backett)
ought to be ashamed of herself to even
think of snelt a thing at her time ol life;
was roundly abused and insulted in return,
haviug hut it insinuated that she would
jump et the chance, and returned home
mud as n nest of dist urlied yellow jackets.
Hut the day appointed for the ill-assort
ed wedding drew near, and it appeared as
if all the excitement hud subsided, os if
nothing was to be done hi prevent it. Cer
tainly (in this instance, at, least) there was
no fool like an l old fool, and the maiden
of five and forty simpered, dressed, and
put on more nonsensical airs than a coun
try school house full of bread and butter
misses in their first long dresses with u
man master.
“Berved her right,” was the universal
verdict, in anticipation of everything bod
that might come to her in the future, and
if the truth had been confessed, the major
ity wre strangely hopeful it would be ns
they wished, so perverse and malicious is
frail liuini n ty.
Hut. of course nil wero anxious to he in
vited to the wedding. They wouldn’t
have been disappointed in that regard “for
anything in the world,” and Aunt Crissy
was particularly excited upon the subject.
Very much to her satisfaction, therefore,
it was, when the bride elect came to con
sult her upon the subject of the woddilfg
“fixings.” Ho for the time the hatchet
was buried between them, and their con
versations became long and confidential,
ns well ns unheard by any one as they
firmly believed. Hut Burns was right, for
“Tli host laid schemes o infer an’ men
(lung aft s-gley,
An’ lea’e us nought tint grief and pain
Ter promised joy."
Quick eves and ears were watching
them, and Kate and her sister laughed in
their sleeves, and stole away when the
confab bud ended to relate and confer with
the boys.
Often these arbitrations lasted until 11
! late hour, and the coming bride saw, with
■ gratified feelings and fluttering heart,
i that her husband in ee was waiting to
attend her home, which was quite a dis
i lance by the road, though it could lie re
duced very much by taking a “cut-off”
through the fields, and crossing the
i church-yard. And this she did quite lute
one night and alone, having waited in
vain for her lover, ami having refused the
proffered attendance of the boys.
Like the. great majority of Women who
have so long traveled the pathway of life
without, a strong arm to lean upon, she
was very timid aul nervous—mortally
afraid of “spooks.” When she entered
the graveyard, therefore, she could almost
, hear her heart beat, and was ready to
; collapse with terror. Never had the night
j appeared ho dark or the grave-stones so
, white. Never had she heard so many sus-
I pieious noises. The elock upon the church
spire tolled most dismally out the hour of
midnight, and she stood still and gasped
for breath. It was the very time when
! graves were opened, and spirits wandered !
As if turned into stone, hlic leaned against,
a tree for a few moments, mid then, ns
strange voices came to her ears, she sank
down into the long gross anil listened.
After a time she became convinced that
if the sounds came from spiritual lips they
were wonderfully like tlmsu of mortals,
and though shaking in every limb, and
with the few remaining lmirs upon her
head standing erect, she braced herself
and determined not to lose a single word,
. as her ow n mono had been motioned.
"Wllut in the name of heaven do you
want, to marrv that old fool for f” asked ti
voice to which she was n stranger.
"Because I--” and he hesitated.
She knew that voice, ulus ! too well. It
was his to whom she had pledged her vir
gin heart and hand.
“Don't snv love her, my hoy, for it’s all
gammon. Bah! one might, as well marry
liarimm’s mummy as that withered, dried
up old maid. You can talk that to the
rest, hut it won’t do for me. So own up. ”
"Well, Tom, you know she has plenty
of money, and t am poor."
“Anil you are going for it ? I know all
the time that was the secret, though I
don’t see how yon can take the one along
with tljo other." It would turn my stomach
to have her come near me, let alone
having to kiss her, and these antediluvian
spinsters want more hugging and cares
sing and mussing over, and all that sort of
thing, than even young an l buxom girls.
The fact is. they have lived so long with
out it, they can’t get enough when t ley
have, a chalice the old she apes.”
The terror of Solly Sockctt faded he"ore
her intense anger. It wu* with great diffi
culty that she could restrain herself from
rushing out and “wooling” the speaker.
To talk so of a respectable woman, indeed !
But she must hear more, nml there would
he time to punish the young scape-gallows
iu the future. Ho she held her breath,
and the conversation continued.
“1 know. Tom. tlmt she is homely as sin
and old as the hills, tint, us 1 said, she has
plenty of money. As for loving her one
might, just as well talk of loving one’s
great grandmother.”
This from the one she worshiped ! Boor
Sail} ’s sufferings became terrible, and had
it not been for her wrath she would have
fainted.
“And when you get tho money, my
boy ?”
“I’ll show her how to spend it. Won’t
1 have fast horses and spin along.”
“Suppose she wouldn’t let you it"
“Then I’ll lead her such a devil's dance
that she’ll he glad to kick the bucket and
lot me enjoy the tin in pence, along with
some young and pretty girl that on.) could
take to his heart with rupture.”
“Do you think she has any idea of this ?”
“Not the least. The confounded old
fool thinks I worship her, and she dotes
on me, even while it makes mo gag every
time I have to embrace the old bundle of
bones.”
This was too much, and the listener
fancied she was about to turn into a ghost
in reality. But there was no danger of
such a consummation while her temper
remained at white heat,
"Wlmt if she should get nu inkling of it ?“ j
“Oil could smooth it over—say it was
all a lie,”
“But if she should overhear us r"
"Then tho game would be played out.
Little danger of that, however. She is
too afraid of ghosts to come here. Site is
lying awake, I have no doubt, in her virgin
couch, thinking of me, niul shaking to the
end of her toes every time a mouse
scratches iu the wall.”
"Well, I wish you luck. But I must be
going; I have got to continue toy journey
to-morrow.”
“Then you won’t be here to the wed
ding ?”
“Can’t possibly. But I’ll come and see
yon some day when you have got hold of ;
the money. Good Lord! how can yon
ever stand such an ancient catamaran for a
wife ?”
It had been the intention of tho listener
to spring upon her insulters, but they
disappeared far too quickly for that, and '
she dragged herself home, drank a quart
;of boneset teu to keep from taking cold,
rolled herself in flannel sheets, got into
her feather lied, and “nursed her wrath to
[ keep it warm. ”
On the following day sho wandered
I ulioiit like a candidate for the lunatic
asylum, and, ns it was attributed to the
coming ceremony, had to bear unceasing
jokes. Aunt Crissy (whom sho hud sent
for) declared she acted like “all possessed,”
and vowed no man should ever give her
“such fidgets.” Tlien tho two withdrew
to the sanctity of the chamber of Hally,
and when they Deputed late in the after
noon a careful observer would have de
clared a terrible thunder storm was brew
ing- one to which that of the Macbeth can
witches would have been nn April shower.
Sully drank tea strong < nough to have
“borne up nn iron wedge,” awl looked nt
the old Dutch clock in the corner unceas
ingly until the sound of a foot Was heard
upon tiie doorstep. Then she cleared
decks and got ready for action.
* ‘Good evening, my dear,” said her
(snpposeil to be) adorer, ns he came in
and stepping lightly toward her endeav
ored to gain possession of her hand.
“Git out you bmte!” was tho unex
pected response.
He looked at her ns if ho fancied wlmt
little sense she was the owner of had sud
denly departed.
“impostor! Thief! Liar! I know
yon.”
“Miss Sally!”
“Don’t ]\)isß Bally me. I heard all
your nefarious talk about me iu the grave
yard last evening.”
“In tlio graveyard !”
“Yes, every word. I urn nn old fool,
am 1 ? Inm an antiquated spinster, am
IV lam dried up like Barnnm’s mummy,
ami? lama bundle of bones, am I?
O you miserable little nasty whipper-snap
per I” and she had to pause for a relay of
breath.
“I -I—don’t comprehend—have not the
slightest idea of what yflu arc talking
about,” he stammered, entirely taken
hack.
“I’ll teach you how you talk about an
innocent girl like me. Want to many me
for ray money, do you V Going to have
fust horses, and make them spin, are
yon V”
“Sally!” •
“Going to lead mo a devil’s dance, and
kill mo off, and take some young anil silly
thing to your heart, are you V
"Wlmt in the name of heaven aro you
talking about ?”
"Makes you shudder to even think of
embracing me, does it?”
“Miss Bally.”
“Can make me believe it is all a lie, if I
knew of it, can you V”
“Miss Backett, will you tell mo what you
arc driving at ?”
“Driving" was nn unfortunate word,
and slie instantly fastened upon it and
repeated about the horses until his convic
tions of insnnity became mil. “He
couldn’t get, n word in edgeways" (to u e
her iron expression, when relating the
interview with him to Aunt Crissy), and
she punished him with her tongue in such
a manner ns would have astonished even
those familiar with her choicest efforts in
that line.
All ho could do for some time was to
stand and take it. He hud not even the
most remote conception of her meaning,
and when she once more mentioned the
graveyard and his friend Tom, he plucked
up courage to interrupt her, with:
“What do yon mean about the grave—”
“’Bpose you intend to deny being there
| last night with that rascal Tom ? Ol how
| IM like to break every bone in his body,”
were the words slio cut him short with.
“I certainly was not. there Inst night.”
“Mean to tell me I lie do you ?” and the
fire flashed from her old eyes.
“No; but you must bo mistaken, Miss
j Saekett. ”
i “Humph 1 Miss Saekett ? How wonder
| fully polite yon have gi'own ? And that
Tom, too, calling me u catamaran ! Tlio
sneaking dog.”
i “If you would only explain I—”
“Smooth it all over, as you said yon
i would. You supposed me lying in my
‘virgin couch and shaking to the end of
my toes,’ did you.”
“1 think you must be mad.”
“Mad V 1 never wus so mad before in nil
my life. But how dare you stand there
and try to face me out when 1 was there
and heard every word?”
; "Where?”
“0 ! ho-.v mighty innocent. In the; r v -
! yard, you and that miserable Tom.”
“I tell you I was not in the graveyard or
anywhere near it last night—haven’t been
in months. Somebody must have imposed
upon you.”
“O !of course. Just ns if I didn’t know
your voice. Just as if I didn’t hear you
call mo an old fool and- ”
“I begin to believe—”
“I am one, hey? Better any it to my
face nnd be done with it.”
“I fear you will force me to—”
“Believe it. Oh!don’t mince matters
now. You didn't bust night. ”
“Yes, I believe it !” lie replied, seeing
that all hope of reconciliation was past,
“and more than that, you are either
drunk or—”
"Me drunk! Me, the darter of Deacon
Job Saekett, who never drank anything
stronger than tea in the whole course of
my life 1 Me drunk ! Good heavens !"
The pent-up fury suddenly burst out.
! She could no longer restrain herself, but
; flew at him, tooth and nail, and though
her strength was feeble against liis, lie was
glad to escape. But ho did not do so
without leaving behind a handful of hair,
and having his teeth furrowed as if lie had
collided with a tiger-cat, and having his
eyes nearly scratched out, and being glad
to retire to private life and visit his friends
in the country for some weeks.
He said the old maid was mad, and so
she was, as he found to liis cost, but not in
the sense be would Lave had understood.
His side of the story was very different,
ami she firmly believed to her dying day
t hat the episode in the graveyard was real.
Did Kate and her sister and the boys
believe the same V It is very much to be
doubted, from the levity they exhibited
when Aunt Crissy related it to them. But
that good old lady was half inclined to
look upon it as a solemn warning from
ghosts, in which sho implicitly believed.
Down in Texas horse thieves go in gangs

McGiimis’g Lively Hog.
Mr. McGinnis, of McGinnis's Station,
at the mouth of Six Mile Canon, has a hog
which is a curiosity in more wnys than
one. Tlio hog, though quite young, stands
about three feet and a half high, and is
as slender as a race horse. It not only
Ims astonishingly long and slender legs,
but rejoices in tho possession of a snout
about half as long os its body. It is pe
culiarly marked, being black ns a coal
from its fore legs to tho end of its nose,
while the remainder of its body is snow
white. It is a great pet, and is never so
happy as when in the house playing
with the children. By running with tho
children nnd dogs it lias learned to do
many things that a hog is seldom seen
to do, as to jump fences and the like.
The owner says he has not a fence on his
ranch that the hog can not jump. The
hog takes great interest in strangers, and
likes to get acquainted with them and
have them play with and notice him,
A funny thing yesterday happened to a
couple of our citizens —James Kelly, the
soda man, nnd Tommy Quinlan, lute of
the saloon firm of Quinlan A' Daley—who
wero down the canon nnd stopped for a
short time at McGinnis’s place. They
saw but little of the hog till they were
driving away, and knew nothing of his
playful habits. Great was their surprise,
therefore, to see the great long-legged
animal coming after them in a keen
gallop, bnt when the creature came
up with them and at a single hound land
ed himself in the rear of the soda wagon
our friends thought tho boast possessed
of a devil, and concluded that their time
luul come. As the hog landed in the
wagon Quinlan lauded out, tumbling into
n big mud hole, but Mr. Kelly did not
dure let go the reins and so was left alone
with the enemy. HifWned a rapid fire
on the animal with soila bottles, and the
playful porker, eonsiderings this rather
rough treatment bounded out of tlio ve
liiolo us gracefully as n greyhound and
galloped to the ranch, where a crowd of
men stood langhing at the pranks of pig
gy. Tommy Quinlan says he “wants no
more hog in Iris'll.”

“I Want to Find My Papa.”—Yi ster
dny a lady was walking along the street,
when she met u little girl between two and
three years old, evidenty lost, nnd crying
bitterly. Taking her by the hand, the
lady asked her where she was going. “I am
going down town to find mypiijm." was the
reply, between sobs, of the child. “Wlmt
is your papa’s name ? asked the lady.
“His name is papa,” replied tlio inno
cent little thing. “But wlmt is his other
name ?” queried the lady; “Wlmt does your
mamma call him ?” “Bhe culls him papa,”
persisted thebnby. The lady then took the
little one by the hand nnd led her along,
saving, “Yon had better come with me; I
guess you came this way.” “Yes, but I
don’t want to go buck; I want to find my
papa,” replied the little girl, crying afresh
as if her heart would break. “Wlmt do
you want of your papa ?” asked the indy.
“I want k> kiss him,” Just then a sister of
tho child came along looking for her and
led her away. From subsequent inquiries
it appeared" that the little one’s pupa,
whom she was so earnestly in search of,
lmd recently died. In her lonesomeness
and love for him sho tired of waiting for
him to come home, and had gone to find
him nnd greet him with the accustomed
kiss.— Powjitkerpsiti, (N. F.) Emjle.
SnocKTNt! Death <tf Chtt.obrn. On
Monthly night, near Kindny’s Turnout, in
Albomnrie county, Vo., two colon'll chil
dren were frozen to death nml the third so
luully frozen tlmt it is not expected to live.
D seems that the mother nnd father of the
children had separated in a quarrel and
left the three little ones in their cabin to
take care of themselves. A nephew of the
wife took care of the children two or three
days, hut finding it more than he could do
started them on Monday evening about
dark to go to their mother, who was living
about three miles away. He carried them
insight of the mother’s house.and starting
them towards it alone turned back. The
next morning the three were found near
where he hail left them frozen dead, and
the third almost iu living condition. An
inquest will investigate the matter, and
tlio parents will probably be arrested.
