A TERRIBLE RIDE.

r HAD spent a night in stage, day
i in a saddle, night in sleeping car,
half day doing business, half day in
bed, and was, after supper, enjoying a
cigar and a newspaper, in the reading
room of the Redwood House, Fayette,
Indiana. The newspaper was uninterest-
ing, or else was rather sleepy - and 1
guess it was little of both-so that 1
soon neglected it, to watch the fantastic
curling of the smoke from my fine-fla-
vored cigar / didn't feel much like
talking, and still less like reading but
did feel as if would like exceedingly
well to hear good story.
had barely come to this conclusion,
and commenced wishing for some one
of my acquaintances to amuse me till
the time was up for the train which was
to take me to Indianapolis, when rec
ognized, in the person who sat next to
me, a fellow-traveler in the sleeping-car
of the night before.
He, too, had laid aside his paper, and
was apparently, like me, watching the
smoke of his cigar, and wishing for alb
sent friends to keep him company.
He was very greeable-looking little
man, with a clear, gray eye, light hair,
sandy whiskers, and smiling mouth
Indeed, he had so much the appearance
of the man that would like to hear tell
story, that 1 thought Dame Fortune
had smiled upon me, when he recogniz-
ed me with a genial, "How dye do,
stranger 2"
returned his salutation, and asked
him some commonplace questions about
how he had enjoyed the ride we had to-
gether.
He said something in reply about the
running being too fast for the poor
track, and from this the conversation
ran upon fast travelling in general, for
some time. At last j remarked, that

ance, too-T. III. Severance-and for the
last four years some unprihcipled wretch
of the same surname has had his wash

know what you are going to say,
but that amt the point. The other

of his return. Oh yes; but he freezes

I wouldn't aminded it so much, but
the cold-blooded appropriation always
keeps posted as to when change my
Chinaman, and the next week follows
with his wash too. Why, I've been
clear round to all the wash-h houses in
the city six times already-this fellow

my brand new shirts and set of po-

to mercy. I've explained the whole
thing to the jury, and they all agree he
ought to be hanged before sunrise to-
morrow, if the Sheriff can fix things on
time" and there was universal roar of
Indignation from sympathetic specta-
tors as the Judge ordered a new trial,
and put the foreman under heavy bonds
to keep the peace.
