INTERESTING BRIDAL TRIP

40, A. NJ, unCer the management OF that
gcntlemanly, amiable, popular, and eff
cient conductor, Captain Scott, p few days
since stopped at one of the way stations,
to take on a couple newly married. Both
were young, and both were verdant, be-
ing raised in the wilds of Western Vir-
ginia, neither of them had been fifty miles
away from home. They had heard Of
railways, locomotives, steamboats,, and
hotels, but had never experienced the
comforts, of any of the aiore mentioned
institutions. Jeemes and Lie had deter
mined on this, the most important event
in their lives, to visit the city and see the
world, particularly that part of it known
as ParIersburg. No wonder that they
we've amazed and delighted when the To-
comotive, steaming and snorting, with
the train of beautiful crimson cars follow
ing it came in sight.
These your trunks said the baggage
master.
We'll, I sorter calkiate them's 'em,
said Jeems.
The trunks, Ca spotted hair trunk and a
very old fashioned valise) were soon in
the baggage car, followed by Lie and
Jeems.
'Ill be darncd Of railroads aint fine
thing" said Jeems, seating himself on
the luggage and carefully holding up the
tails of his light bodied blue, ornamented
with resplendent metal bottoms, out Of
the st,-"Lize, sit here by me-"
"Come out of that" said the baggage
man, "you are in the wrong car"
"The HI am! Dye 'spose don't
know what I'm bout? These is my
traps, and calkilatc to stay where they
ar. Keep quiet Lie; they say we've got
to fight our way through the world any
how, and if that chap with the cap on
wants anything, why, Pm his man.
Don't want any of yer foolin' round me!''
Here the Cnptain interposed and ex-
planned matters, in so much that Jeems
consented to leave his traps and follow
the Captain. What was his delight when
he surveyed the magnifcence of the first
class passenger car. into which he was
ushered. His imagination had never, in
its widest flights, pictured anything
so gorgeous, He was aroused from the
contemplation of the splendor around
him, by the shrek Of the iron horse.
"Jee- whillikens! what in the thunder's
that?" exclaimed Jeems.
"That's the horse squealing when they
punch him in the ribs with pitchtork to
make him go along" said sleepy indi-
vidual. just behind him.
"Look here, stranger" said Jeems, 81
low you think I'm a darned fool; maybe
i am, but there's some things | know,
and one of 'em is, you'll get your mouth
broke, if you don't keep it shut. don't
say much, just at this moment they
found themselves in Egypt darkness, and
then was heard q scream, almost equal to
that of the engine from Lie, as she threw
her arms around the neck of Jecms.
al know it! know it," exclaimed the
sleepy looking individual; "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
big fire below"
80 Lord, Jeems, what will become of
us? / felt skeery about gettin on the out
landish thing at fust."
"Kcep quiet, Lie! hollorin' won't do
any good now. EFF you know any prayer,
now's your time to say it for both of MS. !"
whats the matter here?" said the as
tonished conductor, coming up as the
train emerged once more into light.
".That's just what I'd like to know"
said Jeems, when he saw that Lie and
himself were still alive.
We've just passed through Eaton's
tunnel" replied our polite Captain
"How far are you going?'
"Wall, reckon we'll stop at ParkerS-
burg"
"Show your tickets, if you please
"Sertinly; Lie, you got some with
you? let this gent look at EN-"
Lie drew piece of white paper from
her reticule, and, with smile, handed it
to our friend, the Captain, who read;
THE PLEASURE OF YOUR COMPANY Is
REsPEEoTFULY SOLICITED

"What's this?" said the Captain.
