My Wedding Tour, I wi« oijly 17 when Charlie married me, and I wrote myself for the first time Mr3. Charles \ ail, ifr., and saw the ini­ tials of the same blazoned on the end of my new Saratoga trunk, when we start­ ed on our wedding journey. My wed­ ding journey ! I can spoak of it calmly now, but tlie time was when it harrowed up my inmost soul. To this day, Char­ lie becomes wroth when it is mentioned, and says it is my " confounded imagi­ nation;" but he knows, and I know well, that that is only one of those conven­ ient little loopholes through which big masculinity can crawl on emergency ; and, tlie facts remaining unchanged and indisputable, I shall defy Charlie and state them to the world. Imagine, then, reader OP listener, whoever you may be, that the last silken train has swept itself out of Trinity Chapel, and the last note of the inevitable " Wedding March" shud­ dered itself out of the big groaning or­ gan, and that Charlie and I are mar­ ried. Also, that the kissing and crying over is achieved, and the voices of my husband's sisters and my maiden aunts, hailing down blessings on our heads, are happily l<jst in distance--that the qply sound we hear is the rattle and jqbar of an express train thundering east­ ward, and • I am looking out into th« golden noonday, watching the fields •and roads and villages and woodlands race past us, and sweep back into a stream like running wpter. There we sat, two blissful young fools--but it isn't of our bliss, or our foolishness either, that I am going to tell you-- only of the single adventure of our wed­ ding tour. (Jliarlie hadn't tdld me where we were to go, and I rather liked being left in ignorance, knowing no more than that we wiere being 8 wept away to some little PatadiBc of pur own--it might be an irftfpd dt' thtv Hesperides, or Miagdsin, or feden itself. We I patient. "Ton can't sit here all day, I you know. Where do you want to go ?' | "I--I--don't know," I stammered, i "I was told to sit still, and I---I must I w%it till the person comes back." 1 The man stared back at me now with ! interest. " Where's your ticket ? " said j he, extending a dirty hand, i "I haven't got it," I answered in a j meek and conciliating tone. "My-- ! Char--at least, the gentleman who is i with me has got them both." » "The gentleman! Pretty fellow he must be ! Told you to sit still did he ?" I made no reply to this unwarrantable lack of reape t in referring to my njisent lord, "but drew myseit up and looked severely out of the* window. " Well, you can't go back to New York," observed my tormentor, sum­ marily. " The best thing for you to do is to get out and look for your gentle­ man, miss." Saying which, he jerked my bag down from the rack, turned the opposite seat, which Charlie had in­ verted, back into its place, and, by a species of moral suasion, caused me te • pick up my shawls, parasols, etc., and follow him in abject submission to the door. " Now, where did the gentleman go?" he demanded, aa he handed me out on the platfrom. "He went to fat DM some lunch," I replied, almost ready, at this crisis, to disgrace my bridehood and cry. "And told you to sit still, did he? Well, you stand right here and keep a lookout for him. There's the Boston train over there, goes in fifteen minutes, and he can't get into it without your see­ ing him, if he ain't inside already; and my advice is, stiok fast to him if you find him, for he mast need looking after." With which remarkable words the set down my bag, and winked at a by­ stander. " What's the row ?" inquired the per­ son thus invited to participate in the enjoyment of my woes. Then they whispered--about me, I suppose--and everybody turned and stared at me. Poor uttle bride! There I stood, holding fast my parasol, with a shawl on one arm, my own small aachel on the other, ard Charlie's bigger one at my feet, feeling like a very " lone, Jorn crit­ ter" indeed. There stood three men in a knot, contemplating me, and any quantity of the same species coming and going, who all looked at me as they passed, and then turned round and stared again--and there was no Charlie visible in all the range of surrounding country. Diro thoughts began to be born within me, and to turn me cold and damp with ex'reme terror; the nightmare of my infancy--" being lost"--came back upon me and crushed my 17 years and the new dignity of Mrs. Charles Vail, Jr., with a fell swoop. What was to be­ come of me ? Supposing there had been an accident, and Charlie knocked down and awfully mangled, or that he Crusoe's We stopped , „ at a good many stations by the way,- ! had just vanished away, as one occa- that looked anything but Paradaisical; j sionally hears of respectable gentlemen but I saw everything through a glass, j having done, and never would appear udsily, as I sat there demure and mute, by Charlie's side. The shadows were growing short, hnd it was just noon, when we stopped at some " ville " or other, wtioae Ming, low, straggling buildings, crowding close upon the track, and the broad, dusty village street, branching off at right angles, are photographed upon my memory. Not for anything intrinsically remark­ able ; there were only a good many teams and farm-wagons, and open car- ruiges, and light carryalls standing about, with the lazy horses rubbing their noses against old wonn-eaten posts, under the tow of drooping green trees, and plenty of people on the platform, crowding together for greetings and 1-bys ; it was a commonplace, every- »y picture enough, and not even a pretty one, except in fragments. There was a general exodus from the car, and a rush dinnerward, as we supposed, toward the swinging sign* of some " House " or other down the lazy Uttle country street; and Charlie, looking at his watch, said it was 12 o'clock-- didn't I want some lunch t * Of eomass l didn't, but of course ha said I must have «ft, and immediately started up. He wouldn't be five minutes, he said, and I mustn't move till he came back. I was to guard our two seats, and let no pne come nigh them, and, above all, I was to sit still, and not be led astray by any possible warnings to change oars. " We're going through," Charlie remarked, "so just keep the seats, and tfrm*t pdynny attention." I nodded obedience, and Mr. Vail marched out of the car, leaving me to peer after him in tlie Crowd and catch the last glimpse of Bps str#w hat vanishing down .>• street. 1 watched the crowd, when Charlie was oat of sight, and mused and won­ dered over the faces, and built up all sorts of dreamy speculations upon them, as one does in a crowd when they have nothing better to think of. Presently the door banged open, and the voice of some unseen functionary shouted, " Change cars for Bos--ton !" '^'Everybody began to scramble their bags aud bundles and canes together, and there was a rush Among the few who remained my fellow-passengers. I watched them go without emotion, and merely settled myself more comfortably for the solitary journey through which Charlie had indicated--wondering a lit­ tle where its terminus might be, out in no wise disturbed or anxious thereat. I stared out at the people for five minutes longer--at least so said the fat-faced clock in the " ladies' room" opposite my window, though I made it. fifty at least by mental calculation--and then the door swung open again. This time a head projected itself into the par, roared "All outevidently at me--and van­ ished again. "I won't get out," I re­ plied, defying the empty air. " Charlie told me to sit still, and I'm going to. Oh, Charlie ! whv in the world don't you come back?,f But no Charlie came fc» anstre* nfo and I began to stare out in the crowd with rather more anxious eyes, and to grow a little hot and uneasy, and to thinlr, with certain unpleasant thrills running down my back, what would be­ come of me if the train should start, and Charlie shouldn't come back at allI At •.his awful point in my meditations, the locomotive gave vent to an unearthly screech, which I took for a premonitory symptom of departure, and I was so ter­ rified that I started up from my seat, just as the little door swung back for the third time, to admit of a last warn­ ing, like that of Friar Bacon's brazen head. This time the face reajspeaved-on a big shaggy suit of dothes' so&ie six feet high, and was a grim, not to say irate, visage. -- "the son gruffly; "I told you so rwi fore 1" "I'm to.sit still," I replied meekly. "I'm going through." j thought .this was the right thing to sax,, bei Charlie had said it; J»*tlSt tLifltaJt the right effect. "Change cars then--there's the Bos­ ton train over there. This runs back to New York;" '*> I simply stared at the person, in a dogged way that he seemed to take very ill. "Comer' he.exclaimed,,waxjjg im- # t' * v# ... i ? **«" * again, or be heard of at all; supposing I were just to stand there waiting, the ^ trains shrieking away in the distance, at some " ville " or j a^d night coming on, and all these strange men staring and whispering? Pretty soon I should begin to cry, for I couldn't stand it much longer ; and here I began to feel for my pocket-handker­ chief, and that reminded me of my pocket-book as a slight resource. I dived to the utmost corner of my pocket before I remembered that I had confided it to Charlie, with wifely duty, at the very outset of our wedding trip. At this alarming discovery a oold moisture broke out upon my entire frame. A night passed under the lee of the depot, crouched among my little possessions, now loomed before me--un­ less I could deposit the same posses­ sions, or pawn my diamond ring and my gold bracelets for a night's lodging and a ticket back to New York. I suppose the horror depicted on my countenance was a sufficient challenge for inquiry. I don't know to what extent it must have reached, but somebody appeared to find it moving, for a benevolent voice presently saluted my ears. 44 Are you waiting for anybody, Miss? I turned around with a gasp of alarm, which subsided a little, however, when I met an elderly face, spectacled and be­ nign in the extreme. " Excuse me, Miss," said the old gen­ tleman in a sympathizing tone, " are you waiting for any one ?" « " I--I--yes, sir--Fm waiting for--" 1 came to a dead stop. For Charlie, should I t*ay? "My husband" was a step beyond utterance just now. _ I only turned scarlet, choked and twisted the handle of my bag in silence. " Is there anything I can do for you ?" " I--don't know where to go !" I burst out, quite involuntarily. "They told me to change cars, and I didn't ex­ pect to, and I don't know what to do." t My new friend looked bewildered, and came a step nearer, as he inquired, in a solemenly lowered voice: "Are you alone!" ' " No, no," I said very quickly,*under my breath. " Who is with you ?" said he, with a kind of confidential compassion that a little confused me. I did not under­ stand it ««My--a--a gentleman," I faltered out. " He went out to get me some­ thing, and he told me to sit still and not move; and a man came and made me change cars--and I don't know what cars we were to take--and--I--I don't see him anywhere." Here I choked, and fell to biting my lips and winking my two eyes hard to wink the tears down. "A gentleman !" repeated my friend, solemnly. By this time two more men had drawn near to listen. "Yoflr father ?" "No." "Brother, then?" very mysteriously. "N-no." I began to get very red and uncom­ fortable, and to wish that they wouldn't stare so. "Where are you going, my dear?" aeked the first Samaritan, after a solemn pause of some minutes. " I don't know," I answered, faintly. " He didn't tell me ; he just said, when he went to get me some lunch, that I wasn't to move if the man said to change ears, for we were going through; and I told the man so, but he made me change." " That train's a going back to New Y >rk," said one of the last arrivals, grinning. " Going through to Boston, " Went to get some lunch, did he say? Well, now, can't you tell me what sort of a looking person he was, and then perhaps we can find him? Was he young or old ? " " Young," I murmured, still behind a barrier of cambric. " W-with a yellow mustache, and g-grey clothes and a straw hat." "Pretty bad business!" one of the men muttered aside to another. "Sharp fellow ! " responded a second. And then there were some antistrophesof " What's the matter ? " " It's a shame !" " Left her, did he? " from a small crowd that had by this time started up around me. " Well, now, just come in here and sit down," said my old gentleman, paternal­ ly gathering up my bag ; " and compose yourself, my dear, and we'll see what can be done. Don't cry! it'll only flurry you, and won't do any good, you know. There, that's right!" For I wiped my eyes with the remnant of a sob, pulled my veil down, and was turn­ ing to follow him, when, behold! as I sw?pt the landscape o'er with one last look of desperation, there appeared Charlie--grey clothes, and straw hat and yellow mustache, and all, coming from the dim distance, with a brown paper parcel under each arm. " There he is !" I shrieked, dropping bag and parasol in my ecstasy, and rush­ ing down the platform with extended arms. "There he is? Oh, call him, somebody--tell him I'm here! Make him look this way!" "Where? which? where is he ?" cried half a dozen men quite excitedly. "Him in the straw hat, with the bundles ? Halloa sir ! Halloa! Stop him !" and three small boys aud one man started in pursuit. Poor Charlie! There he oauie, hurry­ ing along in our direction, rather swiftly it is true, but quite at his ease, and with a smiling face, when my four champions f jave chase. And just as they had up-ifted their voices, iihd just as Charlie'® eyes, sweeping the surrounding scene, appeared to light upon them--just then did the locomotive behind which we had been sitting fifteen minutes before, and which had been backing and snorting, and advancing aud backing again, after the manner of trains, chose its time to set up a siiriek and a violent ringing of the bell, and to go puffing off on its way back to New York. And Charlie first started wildly, and then turned around and chased the locomotive, and the three small boys and the man chased him, rending the air with shouts of "Stop him 1" But Charlie couldn't keep up with the train very long, and the impotency of his efforts seemed to break upon him suddenly;'after fie had run himself very hot and dump, and shed all the hot buns from his brown paper parcel for twenty yards along the track, He turned and faced his pursuers ljke a man at bay, and figuratively speaking they all fell upon him. "Stop there! where are you going? " Come back after your lady, you scamp!" " Ain't you ashamed of yourself ?" shouted the small boy in ectasy. Wanted to run away did you? Didn't do it that time, old feller!" "What the d -do you want?" said Charlie fiercely--only he used the whole word instead of the initial. " Where's Sarah ? Where's my wife ?" " There she is!" roared a dozen voices, with appropriate action of as many un­ washed hands. " Ain't got rid of her so easy yet!" I will draw a deoorous veil over the embrace that followed, and the profanities with which Charlie punctuated it, and the compliments exchanged by the populace, who evinced the wildest joy at what was supposed to be the discomfiture of vil­ lainy. I merely will observe that the whistle of the Boston train cut short our little scene, and that I was hauled up on the last ear amid the cheers of the by­ standers, greatly multiplied since Char­ lie's appearance on the soene, and speeded on my way by a parting roar from one benevolent personage to " keep a tight eye on my young man, for he wara't to be trusted as far as you oould Bee him!"

Mark Twain's Antique Humor. - There has been recently paraphrased and calmly appropriated by Miirk Twain an-anecdote of a Scotchman who enters an eating honso on Holborn hill and calls for a penny loaf. Then he says lie has changed his mind, and that lie wiil have a penny- worth of beer instead. This process he repeats twelve time*, and he is then going on this way, rejoicing and full of beer, when the cookshop keepei demands payment for his beer. " I giYe yon a penny loaf for oach mug of beer," answers the canny Scot. "But you have not paid for tlie loaves,"' continues the inceu-et Bonifice. "But I had them not, "replies the Scot. This story is to be found in an old cheap book pub­ lished iate in the seventeenth century, and it is very probable a survival 61 some medi:eval joke current among the sehool-men, since its humor hinges on a false premise in logic.

A pleasant looking lady, who had just ar­ rived on the evening express from dis­ tant parts, was making eager inquiries concerning one of the inmates--an old lady who had been in the home for five years.

"Her daughter?" ejaculated everybody I present, and Mrs. G exclaimed j that her children were all supposed to j be dead. : A long explanation followed.

The drawback of home life, its contained possibilities of insipidity, sameness, and consequent weariness, is never present to such a man. He no more tires of his wife than of his own happier moods. He is no more bored with home than sleep. He is no more plagued with his children than with his own lighter thoughts. All the monotony and weariness of life he encounters outside. It is the pleasure- loving man, the merry companion, who requires constant excitement, that finds home life unendurable. He soon grows weary of it, and considers everything so very tam^that it is impossible for him not only to be happy, but to feel that he is less unhappy there than elsewhere. We do not mean that the domestic man, in the wife's sense, will be always at home. The man always at home has not half the chance of the man whose duty is outside of it,for he must sometime be in the way. The point for the wife is, that he should like home when he is there; and that liking, we contend, be­ longs, first of all, to the active and not to the lounger, or even the easy-minded man. The husband who when at home enjoys mental repose, is the bast partner in life a woman can chooaa, Oatragc by a Policeman. Sam Johnsing was up again yester­ day.

A London paper publishes sonae in­ teresting statistics showing the length of time iood of different kinds takes to pass through the process of digestion. The results may be more or less correct­ ly obtained by any one with careful watching, but they were, it is stated, ob­ tained in the first instance by a series of experiments on a Canadian named Alexis St. Martin, who was under the care of Dr. Beaumont for a permanent opening in his stomach, the result of a gunshot wound. Through this opening the process of digestion was made visi­ ble, and Dr. Beaumont noted the results. Rice and tripe are the quickest digested, only requiring one hour; a light boiled egg two hours, whereas a hard boiled one requires three hours and a half; roast beef three hours, boiled beef four hours and a half. In mutton the case is reversed, boiled mutton only requires thrfee hours, and roast mutton three hours and a quarter; veal four hours and a half; lamb two and a half; salmon four hours. Pork is the most difficult of all meats to digest, taking five hours and a quarter. From this it can be seen what variety of food is most suitable in vari­ ous conditions of the body.

An American who started to ride from Colima to Manzanillo, in Mexico, was stopped on the highway by a well-armed bandit. "Pardon, senor," exclaimed the lat­ ter, " but I perceive that you have my ooat on. Will you have the kindness to remove it ? " The American produced a six-shooter, and, cocking it, replied : " Senor, I am of the opinion that you are mistaken about that coat." "On closer observation I perceive that I am," the bandit answered, and disappeared in the wood. --, Boms Certlflcates.

A CONSPICUOUS increase of suicides among the officers of the Austrian army has led to an investigation, and it is found that pecuniary embarrassment is the cause in 90 per cent, of the cases. The cost of living has greatly increased in Austria, as it has everywhere else in Europe, within a few years, and at the same time the manner of life among the army tiificera has become more extrava­ gant. To offset these larger demands upon their incomes there lias been no proportionate increase in their pay, Which was always notoriously small. « Hough oa Rats." Ack DntgciMts for it.
