But howsomever, Betsy lowed she better be on the safe side, so she | kept up a mighty fixin all the week. When Saturday eame she had everything as fine as a bride's cake. ‘ceptin the dinner etsy lowed she wouldn't put that on till she made sure if they was a comin. She had been working mighty hard all the morning, her and the nig- gers, a reddin up the house and dressin up their sleeves. Butwhenlevener clock come an no quality, Betsy give “em out, an they all took of their Sunday close an went to gitting every day dinner.

The weather was considerably cold, and the | hour being very late, the lamps in the car were very nearly burned out, and only a dull red flame made the gloom in the cars more visible Thec ars started immediately after he got on board, and he went grouping about for a seat. The passengers were lying every which way, some occupying one seat and some two. Here was a lady, her head reclining upon the shoul- ders of her husband, their heads dropping to- | together | in a single-barrelled repose. Here a young | seat. and the cushions of two or three other ssats furnished an admirable shake down for others. Pat groped his way around amon, them to find him a place to rest himself in, an as he felt about. the stirred-up ones vented their owls and curses most dreadful to hear. Pat finally concluded that there was no seat for him. but sgportMen 5 a dark mass in the cen- tre of the car, leisurely seated himself thereon, and in a few moments was in the land of Nod, adding to the general regate snore in that car by vome private nasal music of hisown. In ashort time afterward the brakeman observing | that the fire was most out, filled up the stove with wood, and soon a general warmth began stealing through the car, and through the tis- sue of Pat's pantaloons. In a few minutes thereafter Pat awakened froma frightful dream in which he imagined that he was being boiled in Tophet, and that some one ordered him to be well done. He felt an unaccountable heat in the largest part of his person, and moved him- self to another spot, with the intention os con- He slid adopted for a seat by mistake, for some time, and finally as the cars stopped at astation, with a piercing yell he sprang from his roost, and with his coat tails and the seat of his trowsers on fire, he streaked out from the car and shot himself large end foremost into a snow bank. | He rubbed himself thoroughly for some time | and as the cars started again, he came aboard. | Upon being asked what the matter was, he ex- claimed: ‘+The matter, is it? Hvly Moses, and the whole back part o’ me burned to powd- her. Be jabers, yezcan can cut cooked steaks off any part of me, an’ the most av thim well done‘’' The crowd laughed, and finally Pat up this glorious counthry as the other twin of his swate Erin. A Prcutiar Lawsvit.—A young man has brought a suit at Louisville against a young lady | under most uliar circumstances. it appears that she resides in the vicinity of Louisville, and has long been considered the belle of the circle in | which she lived. Her suitors were numerous, and many offers of marriage were refused. A short time since she met with one to whose earnest and sincere devotion she yielded so far as to name the day of marriage.
