One evening last week ar old friend,
who is in the habit of making frequent
visits to a certain place, started towards
the place alluded to in order that he
might carry his "best grip to Church
that night. But another being sooner
than he-and not being discouraged at
this-he started for his SECOND best"
AS railroads are good places on which to
travel, he was not long in reaching the
home of his second best" He and the
fair Unionite were soon on their way to q
protrected meeting, the one of which we
have already spoken. After the services
were over they happily returned to the
buggy, awaiting most pleasant ride.
She sat there in complacent manner an
ticipatipg what good time they would
have and joyfully gazing on her bewil'
dered lover. Just as the young man
climbed into the buggy and was preparing
to leave, be heard strange sound under
the seat which he could not account for.
He hears another sound. Was it a mis-
oreant who had designedly placed himself
there for the purpose of frightening them ?
Could it be such? Numerous were the
thoughts that agitated their minds, but in
the twinkling of an eye the great annoyer
appeared, which relieved the couple Of
their uneasiness. 1t was simply an old
hen, which had been placed there and Sc
curely tied by the mischievous brothers of
the young lady. The young man did not
explain the cause Of this sensation to the
bystanders, who were eagerly looking on
and enjoying the fun, but showing the
intruder back into the place from which
it came be hastily departed. All who wit
messed it say that it was very ludicrous
affair, yet our friend won the chicken,
though be had to drive his mule almost
to death. PA1s.
