'(lf a'l things, a ilight journey is the
most tedious,' said Clarence lint field, ns
lie lot himself fall heavily into I fie stiff and
uneoffcf jrfanle seat' ot the railway car,
wiih it« laded velvet cushions, and its
back exactly the wrong angle for aught
approaching Ihe luxury of it nap. 'I any

with a motion of my head toward the

'Well, laughed I. 'they don't appear

around like a wall.' • 1
. 'Divinity of their humbug!' shortly in
terrupted Ilatfield. 'As if these i Hod res -
ed dowdies, wills their babio* u:id band
boxes, could possibly belong to the same
world with Beatrice llalel'— . —l—
this 1 mado HO answer. It D|d not
seem to me exactly appropriate to lug
the sacred name ot Beatrice iiale inlo a
discussion in a place like this. Yet what
could I do, except to feel inv cheeks flush
and the roots of my hair tingle ? t For 1
was unmistakably itilove with Dee llale;
and 80 was Clarence lialfleld.
If I were to waste quarts of Tnk and
ream# of paper in trying to describe her
manifold charms and'excellencies to tho
reader, it wouldn't do airy good. Such
things have been tried before and failed,
i Let him imagine the fairest brunette the
sun ever shone on and he may come
somewhere near the mark. Stiflee it to
say that she was as beautiful as a dream,
and that Hatfield and I were bo'li slaves
at Iter feet.
Which of us did she like best? Ah!
that wus the question. It was something
like the children's old game ot see saw.
'Up I go; down you come.' Sometimes
1 fancied that I had the glnet ot' a chance
—sometimes [ was couviuced that Hat»
field was altogether the. preferred, and
that I had better emigrate to Australia at
once.
'Hello!'cried Hatfield, breaking un
ceremoniously in upon the thread of my
musings, 'there goes tho whistle. We
shall be off directly. Thank goodness
for that!'
And ho pa' np his feet on thd opposite
sent, and prepared for as comfortable a
four hours ride as possible.
Clarence Hatfield and 1. bo it under*
stood, were employees in the extensive;
business of Messrs. Jenkins, Jumperton
& Co., auctioneers, aild had been down
tho country 'putting «p' a sale of 6wainp
lots, cnt into streets nud squares, accord
ing to the most approved metropolitan
method* of doing such things.
It had been a dismal business. No*
ve.r.br is not an inspiring month at the
best, and a three day's log had conspired
against the success of 'Mount Morra
Park.' as Jenkins, Jumperton & Co. had
christened the now speculation. Yet we
hud doue reasonably well, and were now
thankful enough to get baok to New
York. * - •
As the traln gjive its starting Inngethe
door flew open, and in came a tall old
lady, in a prodigious black bonuct, a fur
cloak, surrounded by a perfect chevaux
de frise of squirrel cages, leather bags,
brown paper parcels ami sandwich boxes.
She was followed closely by a younger
lady, dressed iu black, andclosoly veiled,
anif paused hesitatingly iu front of our
seat.
'Yeung man,' said she, in a voice as
gruff as that ol a man 'is this scat engage
ed?
'Yes,' said Hatfield, it is/
'For your feet?' \
'No matter what for,' superciliously
replied the head clerk ol Jenkins, Jum
perton & Co. 'Please to pass on, old
lady. Yon'il Slid seals euough beyond.'
But this was stretching the truth.
There was iio seats beyond, as the old
lady could easily perceive, unless she
Vshoae to sit directly opposite a rod coal
fire, or upon olie of those corner arrange
ments close to the door, which are equiv
olent to no seat at all.
The old lady hesitated and changed
her heavy carpet bag from one wearied
arm lathe other. I thought ot my own
'good Auut Polly at home, aud rose at
once. aJ *yj s . ' ' f
'Pray take this seat, madam,' said I,
'and let me put year parcels up iu the
rack for you.'
'Cliftou, what iMifw are! cried
Hatfield, in an impatient toto voce.—
'Why couldn't you have sat still and
minded vour ©witbusiness?' —
, 'ltism/owu business.' I answered
brusquely, 'to see that every lady is made
as comfortable as it is in the nature of
things to be. Now the squirrel cage, I
madam—it'll go very comfortably under {

the neat, I think.' , «
Hatfield ntiered a contemptuous grunt, | r
but ho iicyer offered to trust his loot ofl 1
(lie opposite cushions, although the t
gpunger woman stood iti Ilia aisle, bh- s
eoniftirtobly swaying backward and for- j
ward wilH the motion of the train, until
a woman beyond, noliug tbc state of at
lairs, drew a sleeping child into her lap,
and beckoned the other to toko the place I
thus vacated.
By this time tnv eld lady had establish
ed herself to her ontire satisfaction, and (
opened her sandwich box. (
'Much obliged to you, young man,' |
said she. 'lt's easy to see that you've a |
mother of your own at home, and that i
you are hi the habit of doing reverence '
to Iter gray hairs. As for this person,'— 1
with a nod of lier poko-bonnot in the 1
direction of Mr. Hatfield—'if heV got a '
mother, I can't say muc| ol her bringing
him up. Perhaps he inay be old hhr»
self one day, aint stand in need of a little
politeness and cousideratiou from the
young. • • * !!!$• .j .
•When lam anxious for your good
opinktu, madam, I'll let you know/ re>
turned Mr. Hatfield rather flippantly.
The old lady could only express
by a vehement sniff. And even I was ir
little annoyed at his manner.
'Hatfield,' said I, in a low tone, 'you
might behave like a gentleman.'
'So I will he retorted with a shrug,
'wkenj find myself in company that calls
tor sncn measures.'
I said no more, but leaning up against
the side of the door, prepared to make
myself as comfortable as possible, until
the train should slop a* Slumlord, its
tirst way station, and some descending
passongers might make room for me.
Reader, did you ever stand ifi an
express train in lull motion? Did you
ever feel yourself swayed backward
and forward, bumping one of your
phrenological development against one
sido of the car, and bringing the
base of jour spinal column ngalust
the top of the seat at the opposite swerve
ot liio train? Did you ever grasp blindly
at nothing for support! Did you eVer
execute an involuntary pavs sent, by
waV of keeping yonr balance, and then
grind your teeth to see the two pretty
youug ladies beyond laughing at your
anlics? if so you will know how to
pity me during the hour and a half
between B- and Stamford.
Ilatfield went to sleep and snorod;
the old lady in the gigantic bounet ate
sandwiches and drank from a wicker
flask of excellently smelling sherry; the
younger lady sal as noiseless as a black
veiled statute; fretful babies whimpered; ,
old gentlemen uttered strange sounds
in their sleep; the lights flared like sickly
moons over head, and the shriek of the
traiu as it flew through village, sounded
like the yell of a fierytbroaled demon.
'Stamford!' bawled the conductor,
At last 1 succeeded iu dropping iny
weary and stiffened limbs into a seat,
where slumber overtook me in just a
minute and a quarter; for I bad beeu ,
asleep once or twice, even in my forms
er disadvantageous attitude and I
could scarcely believe the evidence of
ray own senses when we finally thundered
into the echoing vastncss of the Utand
Central Depot in New York.
Hatfield, alive to tho necessity of
catching a cat before the whole world of
travelers should ctowd into it, stumbling
over tho old lady's ankles with small
ceremony.
Ohl take care. You'vo knocked the
squirrel cage over I'
.'Gonlonud tho squirrel cage!' shout
ed Hatfield, gnashing his teeth, as the
aucient dame placed herself directly in
the aisle to set the furry pet up again,
thereby completely blocking up his
egress. ,• •• '>*
♦Serves you right, Hatfield,' said I, as
I stooped to assist. j
Just then the young companion ot our
lady advanced, tinging back her veil. '
'Grandma,' said she, Hhe carriage is j
waiting; I'll send Thomas lor the parcels, j
Mr. Clifton I ain very much obliged to (
you tor your politeness to my grand- ,
mother, who is unused to traveling. |
As to Mr. Hatfield—the less said about i
bis courtesy the better. And Beatrice j
Hole's black eges flashed disdainfully on '
Clarence's cowed visage. '
'Miss Hale,' lie stammered, ( if I'd had 1
the least idea who you were—'
'You would have regulated your con
duct accordingly,' impatiently interrupt- '
ed Miss Hale. 'Thanks-I prefer to see 1
people in their true light. Mr. Clifton,' !
turning graciously to me, 'you'll call ''
and see bow grandma stands borjouruey ]
to-morrow, won't you? Oh! thank you— j
the carriage is close by.' ]
And to this day i believe that is the i
way i won my wife; for Clarence Hat- I
field was a brilliant, showy sort of a '
i lelluw who tar ouuhoue tue iu general i
society,and I, think Bee liad been disposed
rather to fancy him uutl) that night.
But she waa disenchanted-now for good
and ill. And Grandma Halo comes to
see us every Christmas with a hamper of
good things from Hale Farm.

Wo learn that Mr. Telfair Griffin was
ploughing in his father'* fh»ld, near
Stanhope, in Jfasb cotiqfcy, a few days
ago, when the point of tlie plow caught
iu the neck til a jug, ana, upon stooping
to tlrt-ow it Out of the way, lie discovered
i.liat it was filled with upwards of five
hundred dollars in gold -uul silver. De
lighted at his good fortune, tho young
man broke the glad tidings to bin rather,
who, with an eye to business, quickly as
sured the noii that h«vh«.ug a minor,could
not retain so valuable a treasure, and
demanded that it should be banded over'
to himself.
The younger Griffin did not take very
kindly to bis father's suggestion, and
i after a sobjr second thought, wisely
of the battle, made off with Hie the jug,
and, in exultant buried it again,
But the best laia schemes of mice and men gang
- • aftagely *' *' " »
Aud,lae as nought bat grief and pain for prom
ised joy."
Several year 3 age, within the memory
of an eld lady who is fliill living, an old
man by the name of Morgan, lived in
the, house which stood in the field , near
where the treasure was found. It was
gent-rally known.that he. had a miseily
fondness lor accumulating coin, and this
old lady remembers that he eame to her,
upon one occasion, to borrow a jug, re
marking to her at' the time that, he had
bidden some money in the cracks of his
house once before, and (l.e house caught
on lire and burnt down, melting all his
mouey, and tliat he did not intend that
such should be the cane again.
She loaned him the jug*, 4 and saw him,
shortly afterwards leaving his House,
taking the jug with him, and, upon be
ing aoked what be was going to do with
it, remarked that he was going to cary it
to the house of one of bis neighoors.
which was not fur distant. He had not
been gone but a short time WWrre he
returned without his jug. A few days
after this the old man was seized with
a congestive chill and died without ever
having told where he had hidden the
money. After his death bis land was
sold, snd one Ridks became Hie purchas
er. Not long ago Griffin entered upon
the land under a bond from Ricks to
matfe title upon payment of the purchase
money.
Ricks, we understand, claims the
money upon the ground that not being
a part and parcel of the-land, it was not
included in his grant to Grifin, and fur.
therrnore that Griffin has hot paid the
purchase money. .
As between Griffin, t!ie finder, and
tbe heirs of Morgan, we think that there
can be little doubt about the right of
the heirs to recover tbe treasure pro
vided they can establish conclusively .the
right of thoir ancestor. The claim of
Ricks amounts to nothing at all, and as
between the finder and his father the
former cetaiuly has the advantage in
fact, if not in Jaw. We have never
known a similar question to be before
presented in the judicial history of our
State. ' •*"' • '*- * "•

There died in Cincinnati, a .few days
ago, a man who richly deserves the hen*
or of martrydom. His name Peter Rapp.
H« drove a street car, was young—only
tweiity-six —and the sole Support of an
aged and infirm father and mother. The
parents were unable to do any He
provided them with shelter, clothing,
food and fuel. His wages were so small
that after payiug the bills Ot the house
hold he had nothing left lor himself. He
could not buy either an overcoat or
undergarments to protect him from
rough weather. In order to go out with
his car at 6| every morniug, he was
obliged to wtik tour and a-half miles.
The .rules of the company forbidding the
employes to ride without paying fare,
when not on duty, forced him to walk
back every night. TOis, iu ad&tion to
his fifteen hours of hard work, he had a
daily walk of nine miles. For two
moqthi he never spent a single cent of
his earnings. All went home to his
mother. Continued toil, exposure, and
privation broke down his health. He
was attacked by quick consumption, and
died literally thathis father *nd mother
might live.
A boy, who«e honesty is mire to be
recoommended than his ingenuity, onoe
carried some biltter to a merchant iq a
country village in exchange for goods.
The butter tumog a very beautiful ap
pearance, and the merchant being de»
sirous of procuring such for his own use,
invited -riiSi l)oy to btinj| bin all
Ms mbther had to spare. "I think,"
said the boy, "she can't spare any more,
for she wouldn't have spared tins, only
a rat Ml into the cream, and she did not
like to use it herself."
