Lost Freight.

We were permitted, the other
Eday, to look at lot of unclaimed
freight, the accumulation of a num-
Der Of years, at one of our railroad
depots, 1t filled a large room, and
was a curious medley indeed. A
minute catalogue of it would make
volume, There were numerous
chests and boxes, whose secrets
were confined by lock and key or
securely nailed up; wagons and
sleighs, mostly of an antique pat.
tern; patent churns and patents of
various other descriptions; house
hold furniture 1--WE saw one bureau
that looked as though it might be
a hundred years old); agricultural
implements of all kinds; kitchen
articles for "setting out' some
newly married couple, perhaps, and
fruit trees past setting out; baby
cradles and cradles for cradling
grain; several bales of cotton that
had hopelessly wandered away
from their owner, or (what is more
likely) whose owner had wandered
away from them dried apples, dried
all away to nothing; barrels that
contained most excellent cider, no
doubt, when they started on their
travels, but which are barrels of
vinegar now, being soured by en-
barrassments and delay
What a history could be written
upon that accumulation Of un-
claimed freight were it only known.
How many fruitless inquiries on
the part of those who sent it. And
what Of those who failed to receive
it? This old-fashioned wooden
cradle, for instance, rude of work
manship, made Of boards and of a
dull red color. The worn rockers,
and the numerous scars upon its
sides show that it was a long time
in commission before being sent
to idle away its time among un-
claimed freight. 1t, perhaps, rocked
to slumber two or three genera
tions Of babies, and we might sup
pose that it was sent by some fond
grandfather who had himself habi-
tated within its narrow limits, to
house a newly arrived grandohld. |
But the grandchild has got too
big for its cradle by this time.
Grandfather may have gone to that
rest where cradles are superduous,
and the old family relic is likely to
become kindling wood at last,
Near the cradle is a burial case,
a step from the cradle to the grave.
More curious than all the rest,
there among the rubbish is a grave
stone, with name, age and date Of
decease and epitaph complete, The
gentleman for whom it was intended
claim it of course. No
one else did, and the date denotes
that it has been among the lost
freight for six or seven years. AS
we look at it, piled away among
wagon gearings, fruit trees, boxes,
and patent threshing machines, we
felt a kind Of pity for the unfortu-
nate individual who had been thus
deprived Of his gravestone He
can hardly y rest comfortably, know
ing that his grave is unmarked and
that his tombstone is holding an
unhonorcd position among rubbish
designated as unclaimed freight

TESTIMONIAL. On a recent ocac-
cason we had to procure coffin for a
neightor. Most Of the friends Of the de-
ceased thought it was necessary to get a
metallic coffin, but We preferred one Of Ell
LINGEN BRoTHERs' Alright Wood coliins, as
we thought it would do just as well, aud
would not cost half as much 1t was left
to us tos procure coffin from ELLNGEs
BRos., which we did We can say without
hattering that this coffin IL all il is rep.
resented to be, and we think more of it
than before We believe it ono of the best
inventions ever made for either the poor or
the rich, II the GRIM monster death should
enter family, we recommend them to get
one of these cofius You will find them
very reasonable in price. Our bill
amounted only to s22, and it was very
nice coffin.
