\ NEWLY MARRIED COUPLE.
A Laushable Account of Their Trials
and Vicissitules.

"A 60uNACuAbuA JuSG AVOuI u w coC-
crn trip gives laughable account of
who boarded the train at a way station.
He says as the train drew up to the
station the whole car was aroused by
the unusual din and noisy farewclls,
sswish you much joy'' and repeated
ktssings Of a jovial crowd of young
folks. The newly married couple, ar
rayed In wedding costumes and evil
IDENTIFY fresh from the hual service,
took seats in the centre of the car, and
were ut once the attraction. In very
few moments both the bride and the
groom gave evidence that there were
some moro overpowering agencies than
love at work in their systems. The
groom turned over q scat in front and
elevated his pedals; he puts his arm
modestly upon the back of the seat,
while the air from the window hoatcd
tho white veil and the flavor of the
orange blossoms over his face. But
something was ON his mind, and he
momentarily grew more restless and
twisted and squirmed in all manner of
why's. The bride, too, seemed to have
the Same symptoms. She tried the
easiest attitudes, now with her head
lovingly upon the manly shoulders,
then suddenly arOusing and looking
uneasily from tho window as If in ex-
pectancy of disaster, or that she would
"meet" the frown of an angry father.
Suddenly, when all eyes were at
tracted to the couple, tho groom, evil
dently receiving a now and deeper
twinge, with misery depicted in every
feature of his face, lifted his right leg,
and began Juggling at a new boot which
some wicked shoemaker had inveigled
him into buying as a perfect tit. After
pulls and tugs, which made his veins
stand out on his face, and the arteries
of his neck throb like a small engine,
he succeeded in releasing his foot, and
q sense Of happiness stole across his
rnanly face. Tho bride surveyed the
smile, but 1t seemed only to increase
her misery. She wiggled, she famed,
and finally, In desperation, she attack
ed tho buttons of her nov shoes with as
much vigor as her lord did his new
boots, and ono Ivy ono they dropped
upon the floor.
Both sets of feet were placed in prox-
unity upon tho overturned scat and
tho BRIDES shawl hid them from the
vulgar gaze. The bonnet was unlim-
bered from lis pedestal and tho BLUSH
ing bride dropped easily upon the
of her husband and securely
slept as the train Whfstlcd aud stopped
and started. The passengers, relieved
of anxiety, had settled down to cat
maps and newspapers and peanuts,
when q long whistle was followed by
the brakeman putting his head in at
tho door and yelling "Cresson."
'Great Jerusalem, Julia wake up!
hore we are" shouted the bridegroom;
sand there's them informal boots!"
He jumped: at them, and tugged,
md sweatetl and swore, but those feet
had actually grown about an inch, and
It was no go. The station was reached,
when only ono foot was stuck half way
in the leg. Tho fair Julia had encased
her pedals slip-shod, and as "time and
.fdo'' and railroad trains await for no
man," they gathered their traps, and
vent out just as they were, "without
>ne plea" to meet a crowd Of friends
to meet tho newly welded
1air. We arc expecting every day to
near of tho death of that shoemaker,
md to see tho jury bring in a verdict
If justifiable homicide.
