Western Virginia, neither of them had ever
been fifty miles away from home. They had
heard of locomotives, steamboats, and hotels,
but had never experienced the comforts OF
any Of the aforementioned institutions
Jeemes and Lie had determined on this,
the most important event in their lives, to
visit the city and see the world, particularly
that part of it known as Parkersburg. NO
wonder that they were amazed and delighted
when the locomotive, steaming and snortlng'
with q train. of beautiful crimson ears fol-
lowing it, came in sight

Here the captain interposed and explain

to leave his traps and follow the captain

from the contemplation Of the splendor a.

tian darkness, and then we, heard scream,
almost equal to that of the engine, from
Lize, as she threw her arms around the neck
of Jeems.
i knew it! I knew itn exclaimed the
sleeping iudividuaf; 'we're all lost, every
mothers son of US. We can just prepare now
to make the acquaintance of the gentleman
in black, who tends the big6re down below.

merged once more into the light.
That's just what I'd Ike 10 know ? said
Jeems, when he saw that Lie and himself

sWsll, reckon we'll stop at Parkersburg.'

Lie drew a piece of white paper from her

friend, who read:

weddin' that's what you askedfor, hai'nt it =?
said the somewhat surprised Jeems.
sHaw! haw! haw haw! was the diseerd-
ant sound that arose from the seat of the
sleepy looking man.
A bland smile passed over the face of the
captain as he explained his meaning to our
yerdant friend. He had no ticket, but will
lingly paid his fare, and the trains sped
towards its destination. But wonders did
not cease here. Presently, pert newsboy
entered the car, and, stepping up to Jeems
he asked:

Lie blushed.

In due time the train stopped at the big
depot, in this city. Amidst confusion Of
strange noise, and babel Of discoreant
voices, our friends landed on the platform.
