IJV JOB lUNKOMia. “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 headed by a pretended clergyman who gets up protracted and zealous meetings, and while lie is taking the congregation up ward on the wings of his eloquence the rank and tile make a descent, steal all the horses, and ar® off’ before their presence is known. The South Carolina Legislature has passed an act exempting from taxation (and that implies a good deal in South Carolina) all capital invested in the manu facture of cotton and woolen goods, iron, lime, paper nud agricultural implements. Such investments are declared exempt from all except school taxes for ten years. Smith can’t see why his wife should ob ject to liis staying at tlie club so late, sim ply because he said when lie came home the other night, “My dear, it’s the coldest year for many nights; at fifteen degrees past- ton the clock stood sixteen minutes below freeze.” [From the Nevada Enterprise.] 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. "hiuntou (Fit.) Vindicator.
