a
An expires train on the Pacific railroad from
Jefferson, a few days since, stopped at one OF
the way stations to take on couple newly
married. Both were young and verdant; hav-
ing been raised in the west, and neither Of them
ever been fifty miles from home. They had
heard Of railroads, locomotives, steamboats, and
hotels, but had never experienced the comforts
Of the aforementioned Institutions. Jeems
and Lie had determined on this, the most i'm
portant event in their lives, to visit the city
and see the world, particularly that portion Of
it known as st. Louis. No wonder they were
amazed and delighted when the locomotive
steaming and snorting, with the train Of beauti-
9ul cars, hove in sight.
"These your trunks7" inquired the baggage
master.
"Weli sorter calkilats them's 'em," said
Jeems.
The trunks, spotted hair trunk and old
fashioned valse, were soon in the baggage car,
followed by Lie and Jeems.
"I'll be darned eff railroads amt fine thing"
said Jeems, seating himself on his luggage, and
carefully holding up the tails of his tight bodied
blue, adorned with resplendent metal buttons,
out Of the dust "Lize, set here by me-"
"Come out Of that!n said the baggage man,
'you are in the wrong car" .,
"Phe h--i I ami Dye snoaA 7 don't know
what I'm about These is my traps, and cal
kilate to stay where they ar. Keep quiet, Lie;
they say we've got to fight our way through
the world anyhow, and il that chap with'the cap
on wants anything, why pm his man. Don't
want any of your foolin' round me!'' a
Here the conductor interposed and explained
matters, inasmuch that Jeems co asented to
leave his traps, and follow him. What was his
delight when he surveyed the magnifcence of
the first class passenger car in which he was
ushered. His imagination had never, in its
widest flights, pictured anything half so gorge
Gus. He was aroused from the contemplation
Of the splcndor around him by the shrek of the
iron-horse.
"Jewhillikens! what in thuuder's that?" he
exclaimed. sl asa. e..a.H
s'That's the horse squealing when they punch
him inthe ribs with pitch fork, to make him
80 along" said sleepy individual just behind
him. .'
'Look here, stranger" said Jeemes, low
you think pm q burned fool, may be am; but
there's some things know, and one of them
is, you'll get your mouth broke, ef ye don't
keep it shet. l don't say much" just at
ihay
darkness, and then was heard scream, almost
equal to that of the engine, from Lie, as she
threw her arms around the neck OF Jeems.
"Iknew it." exclaimed the sleepy-looking
individual; "were all lost, every mothers son Of
US. We caujust prepare now to make the ac-
quaintance Of the gentleman in black, who
tends the big fire down below"
"Oh, Lord! Jeems, what will become ofus!
felt skesry about gittin' on the outlandish
thing, at fust"
Keep quiet, Lie, holerin' won't do any
good now. Ef you know any prayer, now's
your time to say it for both ofus."
whats the matter here?" said the astound-
cd conductor, coming up as the train emerged
once more into light. .n
"That's just what I'd like to know" said
Jeenes, when he saw that Lie and himself
were still alive.
"We've just passed through Eaton's tunnel"
replied our polite conductor. "How far are
you going"
"Wal, reckon we'll stop at St. Louis"
"Show your tickets, If you please"
"Lize, you've got some with you. Let this
gent look at 'em."
Lize drew piece Of white paper from her
reticuie, and with a smile handed it to the CO., :
ductor, who read;
