The Story of a Missing Trunk.

Between thirty and forty years ago, fami-
ly Of wealth left Boston for Europe, by way of
New York; and just before leaving the latter
city for England, they concluded to send back
to Boston a trunk filled with articles to them
Of great value, not wishing to take the risk of
taking the same with them TO Europe. The
trunk was sent by the mate of vessel from
New York to Boston, and he delivered it faith
fully to the gentleman to whom it was directed
who was then, and for about thirty-fve years
after director in one of our old banks; and
for its safe keeping, he deposited in the bank
in which he was a director with his name upon
the trunk
The family of Mr.. n. remained in Europe
for number of years. and on their return
they probably remembered that the trunk was
sent to Boston, and that their faithful coach
man to whose care they probably supposed
they hal sent it, or who they supposed had
probably obtained possession of the same on its
arrival in Boston, had, soon after the family
left for Europe absconded TO New York with
their coach and horses, sold the same for his
own benefit and then left for parts unknown.
Therefore, the supposition Of the family was
that he had taken the trunk also. In conse-
onence of recent judicial decision that banks
and bankers were accountable to the owners of
such property for its safe keeping, and also Of
a recent letter from the Comptrollerof the Cur
rency upon the mpropriety Of assuming such
responsibility justice to their stockholders,
an overhauling Of property so placed has re-
Gently been bad in State Street.
The above mentioned trunk then came to
light. Mr.. n, with a number Of his family
had passed away the widow Of the owner being
still in the land Of the living. She was called
upon. and much to her astonishment, surprise
aud qualification, the long-missing and highly
valuable treasure had come to light. In the
trunk was found number of miniatures OF the
family and friends If Mrs. ~, painted upon
worry. quite number Of gold coins of fifty
vcarsaoo numerous gold necklaces of the olden
rimc. and in short it was nearly filed with val
liable gold ornaments, heir looms of the family
including also very valuable and curious
timepiece or clock set in beautiful ivory case,
ali in the most perfect order, for on winding
mp this precious time-keeper and the proper
time arriving for announcing the hour. an a
partment IT, the same opeed. the hour was
struck. and a curious and interesting little man
and woman appeared and either sang or whist
led popular air of fifty years ago. They then
disappeared, the apartment closed, and the
clock licked on until the proper time for the
same performance to be repeated again.

MISCELLANY.
A Cheerful Old Age.

Bishop Morris, senior bishop Of the Metho-
dist Church, sends to the New Orleans Advo-
cate. from his home in Springfield, Ohio the
following interesting autobiographical sketch :
was born in Kanawha County, Virginia,
April 90. 1894; joined the Methodist Church
in August, 1913, and received the full spirit OF
adoption on Christmas following. ! was Ii
censed to preach April, 1914, and employed on
a circuit by presiding elder in 1915. and re-
ceived as travelling preacher on trial by the
Ohio Conference of 1916.

time to think and review the past on small
scale. Great changes have occurred IN my Gay,
both in church and state. When | began to
itinerate we had no graded pixies; canals and
railroads were not then thought Of; our speed
then was four miles an hour. The contrast
between the old system of horse and saddle
bags and the present with railroad and satchel
is wonderful. tue speed is increased from four
miles to twenty-five per hour, which is a great
saving of time. The world moves.
The sites Of our large and fourisl ing towns

log cabins are superseded by respectable dwell.
