LTTCY TAVISH'S JOtmNEY. At List tlu! ftiiuily unitotl on the (|Ues- tioii of IjUC.v's tiiking ajoumey. liven Iter-A.UI16 IJfbb.y Bavis, who opposetl her in ovci'.v thing on orthotlox priuei- plea, athnitted that perhaps she would nevoi' see a better time to ilo a useless thing, ami she might as well go and be done wiHi it. J«o one kuew how tlte suggestion had been started in Lucy's lielialf; like an invention, jirobablj' tlio nec'ce.sity fin'it ,g.ivc its birtli, and it vn.=;ein sovei'.tl minds, fo he perfocteil among those who eotild carry out thc plan. Valiil rea.sons were assigned for iliis jotirne.v—she was eighteen years Illd, and with the expecttition of devot¬ ing the rutnte to the happy profession 111'a village school-teacher had linislied lhe ueocessai'.y education—she had nev- i-r been out of her native place, uor seen a railroad, steamboat, or canal. It would he an advantage certainly to add the experiences of travel lo her ciinca- tion, aud elevate her plane above that of hev associates and seholais. " Jhit where can she go '?" Mra. Tav- j.sh, her mother, inquired, describing the circle ofthe globe with pudgy hands acfiu.iinted with the makiug of butter- balls. " Our relations have all died ont," added -^unt Debby, " old M65cs Davis, second cousin to yon .and me, Sarah, • went offsuddenly a year ago and his farm was sold. There' uo mistake about mj' missing the quinces I used to get every fall from his plaee. He was the l.ist of the DaviSes, .yon know, ex¬ oept myself aud yourself, Sarah." JSIr. Tavish cogitated ; his rougii white eyebrows went up and down as if iu search ofsome friend to iptarter his Lucv upon. She must have an ob¬ jeet, and a hospitable destination. As he could ueither leave his farm nor af¬ ford the money it would cost to accoui- pany her, it would uot be proper other¬ wise for her lo rush blindly over some railroad, and jiut up at some tavern or gimcr.ick hotel, and order what she pleased, p.iying her bill like a mau. .She W.IS smart enough to do it, he ar¬ gued, but was too pretty, aud her " sar- .sy" way might come upou her at the wrong momeiic, aud fetch her troulile. Lucy sat demure in the famil.y con¬ clave, bul fell secretly proud of the im¬ portance her eighteen years had so un¬ expectedly a.«sumed, and pleased with the prospect of ti variation upon her dull life. .She turued over in lier miud thc pages of the Geography, whose, wood-cuts represented remarkable ob- .jects in ualuie : Kiagara, the Natural i iSridge in Virginia—not capable of re- conslrittlion—the Eoeky Mountains, and Uunker Hill. A journey according loheriile;m meant a pursuit of these famous objects, for the pnrpose of con¬ veying Iuformation afterward to those of one's friends athirst for kuowledge, and only able to receive it at second¬ hand, and of holding them in one's memory as the jireeious treasures of a past not to be rejieated. Somehow this idea of a journey did not attract her, it lacked luiiuan interest—a Stountain oould only be a large hill, and Falls mere water running swifter than a brook. PiLssing over these she saw with her mind's eye the pictures of cities, Kew York, Chicago, St. Louis; the latter stirred some vague association, striving to follow its clew she lost the thread of the couversatiou, but was call¬ ed lo it by thc loud tones of lier father, who was replying to some remark of his wife'.s. " Yes," he s.aid, " you know what I think of relations, and what I have done for youi's and miue. Blood is a .great deal Ihicker than water.; it is as thick its mud. AVe llounder about, our eyes aud mouth so full of it that none <if lis can tell what's right and what's wrong wilh us till we are parted or ¦letid." I . " Father, where's my Uncle John ?" ini|itired Lucy. " Jie inoved to St. Louis in ISiS," he answered.' Debby looked out of the window at the mention of Uncle John's name, aud Mrs. Tavish gave a louil sigll. ; ' . . " Mi-s. Tavish," said Mr. Tavi.sh, an¬ grily, " what is the matter with you V" " Why not let rae go there?" asked Ltic.y. : - " jiee.ausel think he is dead," her father replied, h.angiug his head. " He is just a.s much alive as I am," said Dcbliy. " Why slionldn't he be?" cried Mra. Tavish. "He is just your age." " Lemuel Green,-who weut out West three j'ears .igo, told me he .stiw a sign liver astnre in St. Louis with '.ToiiN T.vvisii & Cn., Leather Dealers,' on it, and asked me if it wa-s that brother of .Setli's who disappeared so strangely some years sinee. I said I guessed not; that Tavish was a common name In that part of the country ; bnt I am sure f it was our John, it is just like him to be well oll'and happy somewhere else." I Seth Tavish gave a grim smile. " I reckon the ' Co.' has the worth of it," he said. " Luey, you do not remember your uncle, I am sure." " She does," interrupted Dehhy; "she was four years old wheu he went away wilh that wife of his." " Sho, Debby, you forget yourself ?" iMied Jlrs..Tavish. " Wish I could," mutteied Dehby. "I recollect," said Lucj', obtaining au opportunity for speaking, " a tall man who used to dangle his legs from lite window-seat, where Aunt Debby kept her work-basket, aud her saying, ' Kun away, Luey, Uncle John doea not want you here.' I suppose he was my uncle." Jlr. Tavish roared, and slapped his knee. Good for you,-Debby! Well, we'll send hcr to Uncle John, and flnd out by her great ears whether he wants lier now. Lucy, Puss, remember the old saying about the pitcher's goiu" to llie well one time too many." ° " No ono knows better thau Aunt Debby, replied Lucy, " the size of my oars; sho hiis pulled them often enough.'' This discussion ended, a new one y opened, from which Mr. Tavish, after alllrmiug that he would only allow the price of a ton of hay for'"Lucy's outfit, withdrew. The diBcussion on Lucy's side, regarded what outfit she »itM<fta«e,- on thatof Mrs. Tavish and-iiviiit'Det)- by, what she could do tviihimt'iti the outfit. •'I should go respectably," said Luoy. " You will come home In rags, what¬ ever you may start, with," saiii Aunt Debby. " That Is to be expected," added Mrs. Tavish, " It's all the same," retortod Lucy, "provided the glass slipper comes round to me again—^when I am sitting In my old ashes." , _! ., ¦" Glass slipper!" cried Aunt Debby; ."that comes from your novel-reading. You are uot fit to be trusted to go alone from hereto the barn." "Jlother, I must have a stone-colored traveling dress." "And a bag," suggested Mrs. Tavish. " Fiddle-stick! what kind ofa bag "" asked Aunt Debby. " A morocco traveling bag, with a steel chain." " Don't yon mean to take a trunk, Lucy?" " Certaiuly ; but the bag, I mean, or satchel, or portmanteau, or valise is au artieie to be carried in tho hand, con¬ taining sandwiches, a towel, cake, a dressing-comb, my journal, a bottle of salts, phamphlet novels, a sponge, and what-nots." Auut Debby was silenced on that point: the sponge was thrown up. " Borrow LucindaTirown's bag," said Mrs. Tavish. ".She's sure to have one, if it is only to go from house to house to carry her duds in." " I nevei' borrow, mother. I also ahould have a silk dress, in case I should find Uncle .Tohn fashionable; I am told that any thing except silk ia inadmissible at dinner and evening parties." " Heavens aud earth ! Your Unele John maj- be dead and hurried, and the worms givin.g parties in his skeleton!" cried Aunt Dcbbj-, forgetting her hite opinion as to his e.'cisteuce. "Y'ou shall have mj' fawn-colored silk," s-aid Mrs. Tavish; " Miss Lewis can make it over for j-ou. I am quite willing for j-iiu to tippear like other folk.s. Do, Debby, hush ; recollect Lu¬ cj' isaj'Oung girl." . Lucj" held up three Ougers, and enu¬ merated distinetl.v—the traveling-dress, the traveling bag, and the silk dress, which must be black. She would turn down lier thumb, shesaid, fora few ex- tr.i!i. "The" whole haj' ou the brook mea¬ dow wouldn't p.aj' for what j'ou want," said Aunt Deblij'. " Woll, theu," said JfrSj^ Tavish reso- lutelj-, " I'll sell roy cheese the first of tho week, up at the store; that will do it; ahe isn't going to take but one jour¬ nej', Dehbj', and she shall go as Setli Tavish's daughter ought to go." " Oood soul!'.' exclaimed Lucj', dra- maticallj', " Heaven has given thee a lieart iirthe right place, though it hath bestowed upon thee a robust form. Let me kiss thee!" As she embraced, her mother, she made a wrj' face at Aunt Debbj', who uow appeared to be lost in thought. ¦ " Now, I hope it is all settled," said Mrs. Tavish. I'll go into the kitchen; it won't do to let your father's dinner getbeliindliand,journej-oruojournej'." " Stop!" ealleil Aunt Debby, in a sol- emu voice—" it shall not be said that I did not do my part. Lue.v, I will give yon mj- watch and chain !'' Lucystaretl amazed, ibr this watch and chain she had looked upon as Aunt Debbj-'s Baal, from childliooil; and Jlrs. Tavish exehtingcd an intelligent sympalhetie .glance witli her sister. " I never wear it," .she coutinued, " aud never shall. You are welcome to the gift. Y'ou will need tho wateh on J-our journej', and afterward, when J'OU keep school." Luej' felt so severe a pang of shame at this generosity that she did not know how to give thauks. She contrived to mutter a few words, at which Aunt Debby rather grandly v.-aved her hand and left the room. " I am astonished, Lucj-," said Jlrs. Tavish, " that she should part with that watch. Your Uncle John, I maj' as well tell yon, g.ive it to hcr. They were onco engageil." "AVhat broke it off'?" "He behaved badlj'. He w.as wild and extravagant. Y'our father had a bitter quarrel with him, p.artlj' on Deb- bj''s account. At last the farm was di¬ vided , .Tohn took all the ready yiouey,- and left for parts unknown, witli his wife." "Aunt Debbj' ever in love! Gr.v cions!" " Lue.v, J-ou .tie a foolish child. Love is not confined to the imagination of girls and boj-s. It is a sober lasting fact. The poetry books omit a great deal in their deseriptious because they are meant for the like of you—young, pretty, ignorant. Debby was, and is, ci'ueliy*disappointed ; in fact, she had a brain-fever whieii turned her hair. She is barely forty, you goose, now, aud you think her an old woman. Lucy, yon never saw me out of jiatience with her. AVill J-ou let what I have said jirevail with .YOU, and make j'ou more giacious aud affectionate with lier?" "Never was so ashamed iu mj' life. How much did she love him? Now I am curious about m.y uncle. I declare I'll tako out tho watch bcforfe hia face and tell him the time of daj'." " There, Lucj', j'ou need not get into any tantrum on the subject. I gue.ss j'our father has concluded ho was not over-reasonable with Johu. I surmise that Seth wants to make up, for he is a tender-hearted man." Jfr. Tavisli's reason told hira that th'e bettor way would be to write to " John Tavish and Co," before sending Lucy on whatmightprovea wild-goosechase; but pride, and possibly—clod-turner tbat he was—a sentiment, prevented his doing so. He chose thc experiment of sending a mutual tie as an embassa¬ dor betweon himself and his brother. Several da.ys afterward, dressed in his best, Jlr. Tavisli rode away from his door without giving his family any rea¬ son, and returned after an absence of .1 few honra. He produced what he cal¬ led an " a.ssoci.ited tielrpt" for Lucy, whicii he had purclia.sed at DropviUe— a railroad station twelve miles distant, where he had been for the purpose of conferring witli the station-master. " Now, Lucj'," he said, " this combi¬ nation thing will put you right through. Y'ou won't have to put your hand in j-iinr purse for a ceut, unless to buy something to eat with. In three days and three nights you will bo there.— I've ciphered itall out. The Railroad Company is bound totake eare of you, or it lies like tliuiuler. Are j'ou about ready?" " No, father; the dresses I am to have are notyet bought, and my mind is not quite prepared." " AVhat has j'ourni iud to do with it?" " AVould you have her leave her wits home, father? ".s.aid Jlrs.Tavish. " I'll tell yon what .she means. Slic is wait¬ ing for me to sell my cheese." ".Oh, ho!" "To piece out j'our generous provi- dinga." "Oh, ho Iho!" " Yes, she is going on the strength of ray cheese." " AVell, Sallj', your cheese is apt to be strong enough to take an.v body along. Plague take j-ou! How inucii more do yon want for furbelows ? " It is needless to siiy that Lucy's wish¬ es were finally carried out. The morn¬ ing arrived wlien she turned the key in her trunk, and stood before her mother dressed in a stone-colored suit, a stone- colored hat, trimmed with ivy-leaves, and holding a pretty leather bag, stufT- ed full of small stores. " Good-bj'mother! E.yes, look j'our last; arms, take your last embrace!" Jlrs. Tavish made no eflort to wipe aw.ay the tears which slid oft'her round, shining cheeks. She hugged Luey, begged her not to wet her feet, and told her that she must be sure to read a chap¬ ter every night in the little Testament which had beeu clapped Into her trunk at the last moment. Lucy heroically suppressed every symtom of exultation and anticipation, kissed her mother, and patted hcr shonldera, and turned to Annt Debbj', who was tearless, and wore a critical exjiression. " Good-by, Aunt Debby; I shall vyrite." " Be sure to tell ns all the fashions; and ifyou come across any curiosities bring tliem home." " Come now, Lucj'," called her father frbm outside ; " Bill's beginning to thrash." Bhesprangforward, and into thewagon beside iiim ; and as they left the viUage, striking the highway which led up a long hill, and from them its summit showed the round of the purple autumn sky hovering over a hnndred corn-fieWs, filled with sere stalks, dotted with elms and maples, whose leaves were amber, crimson, and green, and russet ¦woods running like promontories into the val¬ leys, and hills, veiled in blue velvety mist, she felt "as if she was riding up to 'Paradise; that vagary on the road be¬ fore us which turns out to be nothing at all she felt to perfection. Her ftsf ings were sustained by Bill's unvary¬ ing Jog and her father's silence, which atlast he broke. ._ , " If there should be any difiaculty, Luoy. after .you get there, in flnding your Uncle John, you must go to a pri¬ vate boarding-house. I xnade inquiries of aman who has been tbere, and he gave me this direction; put it in your pooket-book. I trust, however, you "'fillir* "" disaoulty; om^Information' abratoohn is to be relied on." " How long shall I stay in case I do ?" "Till you have got an idoa of the western country. I wish you would notice the soil, what sort of trees flour¬ ish best, "and what effect the water has on your syatem. AA''ho knows but that I may sell out here, and move Sally and Debby there!" " What shall I say to Uncle John ? " "Tell him you've come to make him a short visit." Nothing more Was said till they came to the DropviUe Station. Jlr. Tavish then grew anxious and doubtful, but Lucy's spirits rose to a grand level witli the sight of the railroad paraphernalia. " I am not sure," he said, " that I haven't done the wrong thing to let j'ou go. Be mighty careful df the folks j'ou meet along vour way. I hopelhaven't made a mistake. AVhat possessed me to let you go when you are all the treas¬ ure I have ? Darn that John Tavish i heneverwasanythingbutapesttome." "It is all right, father. I can take care of myself from here to Jericho. I shouldn't be worth naming as a New Englaud girl if I couldn't. Y'^ou have arranged everj-thing just as I iilvc." " Expect I did calculate on your grit. Now J'OU are going. Here, give me a kiss. Don't do anvihingto be ashamed of to high nor low." And Lucy was oft". A tear bedimmed her eye as she caught sight of hur father and Bill at a turn of the road, the form¬ er holding down his head thoughtfully, and the latter thraaliing his loug tail viciously; but, as thej' distvppeared, the novelty and excitement of her jiosition filled her mind afresh. In the flrst isolation, and dread of the approachofstrangers.sliekeptlierstone- colored veil over her face, and assumed a haughty mien if auj- of tlte passen¬ gers made amovementiii herdireetiim; but the feeling soon wore oil". On the second day the veil streamed from the back of her hat, her gloves were ofi', her hair had became a little regardless of the ej'es of strangers, and her dress was crumpled; her whole air partook of that peculiar demoralization which travel eirects with those who givethem- aelves up to it. Sho liad even accejiteil a piece of aponge-cake and a Harper's Weekly from a dapper iniddle-.aged gen¬ tleman, who was subservient to a brown linen surtout, and wlio remarked that the cake might be free from speckg^ut that he didn't think so, and who point¬ ed to the fact of tho remarkable similar¬ ity between the portraits of-»iialefaetors and those of the good and great men.^— "The absence of that old latl.v who gov¬ erns societj', Mrs. Grundy, who is never able to leave her narrow loealitj', tbe suilden, inevitable, and, unlooked-for relations, caused by the abnormal con¬ ditions of traveling, established a coni- munity of interests—l.titing betweon town and town, or for tho wliole jour, nej'. It had been raagneticallj' discov¬ ered who were tlie " througli p.issen- gcrs "—and thej' felt themselves a bat¬ tered, jolly crew—the soot, cinders, and dust, the terrifj-ing be;havior of the brakeraen, watching from between the cars, and frantically pulling at cranks and cords or dancing lanterns about, to¬ gether with the concise, impressive mannei's of tlie conductors, inc.ap.able of volunteering anj' information, answer¬ ed to the perils and uncertainties of shipboard, and drew confiding souls togetlier, wliose bonds would fly asun¬ der at the first glimpse of the destined station. The few short intervals in which the passengei-s wero permitted to leave the traiii and skirmish for a meal, consisting mostlj' of lard and grit, ap¬ ples and deleterious lirjuids, awoke Lucy to a bewildering sense of an out¬ side world whose extremitiea were the homo she iiad left, and St. Louis, each vague and remote, and alien to her present purpose. All she saw outside the railro.ad appeared automatic—the towns, with strings of puppets, whose motions would cease with the passiug of the locomotive; the hill-ranges that rose aud sank; the winding rivers, wide and silent, narrow and noisy, skimmed by birds, or dotted with boats; the belts of primeval woods, shad j' as the world of ghost; and but for the embrace ot the iron rails, as impenetrable, and the lakes, the blue ej'es of the landscape, opening sleepily at the noise and fume of the perturbations of men. It all counted afterward as a wild vision in her memory. At Chicago there was moro confusion, hurry, and change than at any time hefore; and on starting from thence Lucy perceived tliat the aspect of her particular car had changed entirely— ahe was alone in her corner. Two veiled statues in crinoline occupied seats at the opposite end, who were evidently prepared to remain immovable through all vicissitudes, and not admit their pro¬ pinquity to any fellow-beings; tlie other occupants were men—sharp-jawed to- baccoj-chewers, with wrinkled fore¬ heads, and eyes filled with speculation. Miles rolled away, the brakemen were napping or smoking, and tiie conduc¬ tors' appetites for tickets for the present were appeased. Lucy gazed at the Hy¬ ing country till her eyes ached, aud then thought she would empty her traveling-bag and sort its contents for- amusemeiit. She sliook, folded, ami replaced them. Opening herlittlejour- nal for the first time, she began to write in it with the gold pencil attached to Aunt Debby's chain, and was arrested by a voice olose to her ear from the seat behind hers, which she had thought empty. " You have travelled so far, Jliss, that I reckon you have to keop that book posted up to keep run of j'ourself." Ot>» turnpfl nml Uvoiialit hor faoo u»i- pleasantly near to that ofa young man who rested his elbows on the back of .her seat. There was a detestable ex¬ pression of admiration in his good-na- tureil countenance which made her angry; she grew very red and iier eyes sparkled. He, not intimidated, moved his elbows to. get a better view, and made another attempt. " I have beeu observing j'pu some time, Miaa—thought j'OU seemed dull, and that I'd better come over and in¬ troduce tpyself—mightas well be neigh¬ borly ! 1 am going to Alton. Jly name ia Torch. I was all through the war— Lieutenant of Company A, Fourth In¬ diana—SUver Tails. AVe were the boj's, I asaure you. AVo didn't run aw.ay but once." " I wiah. Sir, you would repeat the performance ou this occasion," aaid Lucy, fiercelj'. He laughed. "Ididn'trun. Ineverdounder auy circumatances. I couldn't that day.— Look here!" In spite of herself she looked, as he rolled up his loose coat-sleeve and ex¬ posed an ugly scar running down his arm to his right hand, from whioh two fingers were gone. . " I spent a livolj' evening after the fight, when mj' bunch of fives was slicea into without chloroform; the sur¬ geon excuaed himaelf for mialaying the laat bottle. I kicked him and I cui'sed him ; and thon a Jfaw England woman came along witii a lemon—the. New England jvoman carried lemons al¬ waj's—and she was almighty good to me. Shesaid, 'Don't .swear;' and I haven't cursed since. I knew your stripe as soou as I set eyes on you.— Should ba happy, Jliss, to show you any attention in my power." Ending with this bit of politeness he drew aside with an expression Whioh denoted he had done all that could be¬ come a man aud traveller. A broad smile passed over Lucy's face, which he perceived, and whicli encouraged him. He replaced his elbows and te- aumed: " The war, Jliss, has had the efFect of makiug ua feel free and easy every¬ where. I am quite ready to go with our artillery to Mexico; the Mexioana need h—(beg your pardon!) and our cannon can give it to them. AVhat is your opinion of the Jlexieans ? AViien you say vermin, vomito, and a want of ¦ocraoi^, they ore described, in my es¬ timation." Lucy looked down on the row on her right, and up the row on her left, to see if anybody was observiug this persis¬ tent, shabby young mau, who was using the most offensive language ahe ever heard. No one appeared at all regard¬ ful of him; but she omitted to glance into the little minor inserted in tiie panel at the end of the car on her side. "Where is Mexioo? "sbe asked, with an indifferent air. " It is the country where hasty plates use.thepblitesf of talk, when it ia nec¬ essary for Captain Bragg to give 'em a little more gprape." • She raised her eyes to his, and met a sharp, intelligent, cool glance, which miide her feel slightly afraid of him.— With obzing courage, she said, abrupt¬ ly: .¦¦•¦¦ ¦' "Mr. Torch, were you ever estin- guishedl!' . •. '' " »01di«l**ef«HSwered'; -"oldas the A1-- leghanles that Joke is! The Torch Fam¬ ily came in with that range. Before that party of self-sufilcientf,entlemeu set sail for America iu 1G20." In .spite of his pert reply his sand-ool- ored complexion took on a lively red, and matclied his long hair, which fell straight boiicatli his jaunty felt-hat.— Luc.y had .succeeiled in annoying and dise'oniimsiiig him. Hewas really at¬ tracted toward hor, and honest in his admiration. The legends Of his regi¬ ment, as well .IS its experiences in pass- i ng over;a large extent of countrj', went to prove I here was such a truth as "love at first sight." Lucy turned squarely fron> him in the middle of herseat, and devoted a close attention to her window. She wislied that the brim of her hat was wider, for she had an irritating percep¬ tion that Jlr. Torch was intently exam¬ ining the shape of her ears, her water¬ fall, and the contour of lier head. There was silence for a few miles, and then au av.alaiicheof magazines and papera came sliding over beside her. " Do look at them," begged Mr. Torch ill a beseeching tone. "I meaut no of¬ fense. Excuse me." "Thank you," mumbled Lucj', aud took up a magazine. " First-rate article there," he said, eagerlj': "but, byjin^o, there isn't a mite of common sense in it. How are the writers paid your wav for writing moonshine?" " In finding critics like yourself, pos¬ sibly." " A'er.v good ¦a.gain. The article is called 'The Skull of the Negro before iiud after Freedom.' Now will j'ou be good enougli to tell me, Jliss, whether the happj' and enlighteued colored brother, who never is allowed to come into the faniily witli you is different in the formation of his liead from the mis- erifble, ignorant nigger, the associate of the whites at the South ? BecoUect I am no seeesli. No, Sir-ee." AVbat sliould she do? Bo driven mad by this creature, who had sprung up like a moushroom in the atmosphere of the car! She felt powerless against his familiar, horrible good humor. She laid the JIagazine down, looked at her watch, and queried how much longer she. could endure it beforo attempting "justifi.able homicide!" " Jly watch run dowu," he said, .('just tis we passed JIarcus Aureliusville.— AA''liat time is it?" Sho felt compelled to inform him; but unwisely held up the watch for him to see the hour. " Wlij-, whatan old-fashioned time¬ piece !" lie exclaimed. " Left you by some roliUion, I thiuk;" and he at¬ tempted to tako it in his hand. She drew il away adroitl.v, and yielded to the touiptarionofanotherimpertinenco. " It came in with tlie Torches, ami, lilce them, it never runs down." lie roared and clapped his hands ; and Lucj-, with a burning face, gave up the contest and concluded to accept the situation of victiiu till the cars should stop, and tiiei'e she would run into the prairie if.she'saw one. Shortly the train stopped. " Hillo!" cried Jlr. Torch, '' what is all this? AVIiatare we stopping for at four o'clock to get our suppers? There is a long uight beforo us!" Lucy shud¬ dered. "It really /.i for refreshment. AVIiat shall I bring j-ou—apple-pie? liain? cheese? coffee? Do now ; I hav¬ en't soen .vou eat a mouthful to-il.ay.— Have J-ou takeu a bite since we left Cliicago? Own up." "Y'es, j'cs," she replied, croaslj', "I purehtised rolls and buns this morning; I require nothing more." "ItoUs and buns! poor fodder thoso ; there is no nourishment in them—saw¬ dust. The train will not stop till we get to Alton. If j-ou wouhl onlj- stop there at m.v mother's and get a sup of her cofl'eo! AVli.v won't j'ou stop iind rest J'ourself? Y'our parents could not but approve of such au opportunltj' for yon, and I should be the happiest—" " Jlr. Torch," said Lucj', in a stified voice, "thetimo is passing, and j-ou will lose j'our own refreshment." " If J'OU will t.ake nothing, hcregoea!" And he darted out. Lucy rose with a forlorn hope of changing her place to be beside some one ,wlio might keep Jlr. Torch at biij-. Jfr. Torch, siie was confident, would go from bad to worse and make loud, imperative efforts of marriage, which she niight in her mis¬ ery be induced to accept, to silence aud confound hira with happiness ! She cast a helpless look toward the veiled crinoline statues; they were women, and should aid her to escape from tlie clutches of au admirer! But their veils were still down, aiul a slight movement behind thera betrayed that they were alive, aud iu the act of eatingsuch frag¬ ment's as could be concealed be*ieath them, and she felt repelled. Better fiud some old gentlemaii, she thought; but there was no old gentleman present; she liad seen none sinco her dear father left her at DropviUe. AVhy had he not accompanied her? uo impudent war¬ rior would have presumed to admire her then. It seemed to her that it was growing dark. AVould Jlr. Torch talk all night to her! It was dark, though the sun had not set; but the sky must be overclouded with a rising storm.— Suppose a tempest. She was afraid of thuuder and lightuing; and what a companion to appeal to was Jlr. Torch! It couldn't thunder, for it waa October, and too late. Wliy didn't tliese trou¬ bles shadow forth in hor mind while she waa iiaving lier fine dreams oT a journey, .and niaking fine plans? A journey, in fact was tiresome, stupid, dirtj'. The romancers of the pen must be characters of the most mendacious and venial descriptiou. If on horav- riv.al at St. Louis iier di.sappointment should continue, and the city should prove a aham, ahe hoped ahe sliould not find her Uncle John, as lier father said lie luid been a trouble alwaj's; aud now he was the cause of her acquaintance with'Jfr. Torch ! With au air of desperate resignation she resumed lier.seat, thankful, at least; that nn one had witnessed thia humili¬ ating acquaintance. Aa she leaned her head back wearilj' her ej'cs rested on thc little mirror 'at the end of the car; a liat wtis rising in it, followed by a face, followed by siioulders—there was no room in it to reflect furtlier, and she sought the reality. The realitj', in tiie shape of aliandsome, dignified young man, had alreadj' found hor, and was looking at liev witli an expression wliich gave a relief .as profound aa it waa sudden. Unconsciously she made an iuiploring .gesture, aud he moved towartl her, feeling au intangible rec¬ ognition, wliieli lie thought he must look into Kant, Fiolite, and .Spinoza and liud a reason for. "Will you permit me?" he asked, pointing to the seat Mv. Torch had va¬ cated. " Certainlj-," she answered. " The obtrusive looking-glass j'onder woultl reflect the behavior of your en¬ tliusiastic fi'ieml," lie continuetl, " and I could not avoid learning that j-ou were annoyed. This sort of man is an uuhappy feature of our civilization. I am aiinost sure! have before this at¬ tempted to spare some unprotected traveler from his tongue. Ifj'ouwill allow it, I will go on with my book in j'our neigliborhood." He opened the volnme in liis baud, and bent his head to tlie studious perusal a of treatise, upon " Tbe J[or.al Usoof/Esthetic Jlanners." The brim of Lucy's hat was too wide now;'butshe contrived to get a clear glimpse of his face from under it, and somehow felt as if she liad been scold¬ ing unre.aaoiiabl.y a few minutes sinco, on thesubject ofjournej-s. To him it appeared as if tlie language of the trea- tiae was more obscure and.complicated tliau the papers which lie had read pre- vioiislj-; besides, he could uot help see¬ ing that Lucy was verj' pale, that hor hands trembleil, aud thinking there was a tremor in her sweet voice. She was indeed ne'rvous and exliausted for several reasons, and was on the point of having agood crying fit. " By-tho-way," he said, shutting his book, " there is famous tea at this sta¬ tion. I am going to get a cup for you— there is time." He was gone and back again, with a howl of tea set in a plate, round which was a wreath of small biscuts. "lam going back for a secoud one for myself," he said, disappearing again before she could thank him. She drank the'tea and ate the biscuit with gratitude, and her inclination for weep¬ ing vanished. " All aboard 1" being cried, he. hur¬ ried in before the crowd. " The bowl and the plate. Sir ?" said " i was la a allommajy he answered, witha amiile—"If tbe*owl'iwent but,-! feared ooiftiend.wouia'come in before me.

He cast an irate glance at the owner, and said to himself; " One of those muscular college pups, crammed to the hilt with other men's ideas, which they report as their own. I'll do picket duty; if he gets over the line, lamnolongerfltforCompanyA." He threw out hia chest and lolded his arms with a military swagger, which proved the adaptability of tho young American to any station, for the swag- ge" was at least equal to that of a Brig¬ adier-General, and said between his teeth: " There's going to be a tornado. Miss." " Where ?" interposed Lucy's cham¬ pion. "Perhaps j'ou have been too much engrossed with your lesson," said Mr. Torch, " to notice that the sky is like brass—isn't that a sign?" " The appearance of brass sometimes is the sign of failure." Lucy iet the bowl and'plate f;iU with a crash, to divert an impending 'quar¬ rel, and looked a reproof. Jlr. Torch thouglit she was afr.aid he was going to do mischief. His crest grew haughty as he spoke again. " And, perhaps. Sir, j'Ou have not ob¬ served that we are in the last car." "AVhatOf that?" asked Lucj'. Mr. Torch shrugged his shoulders alarmingly. " Unless the train stops in time, wc may be blown into kingdom come." "Pooh!" said the J'oung man. "Pooh ! yourself!" replied JIi*.Torch, " and Boo! if j'OU are ao inclined." The young man rose up to an alti¬ tude of six feet and one or two inches, and whispered some mysterj' lu the ear of Mr, Torch, and sat down again, and plunged into the deptli of his trea¬ tise. Mr. Toroli looked doubtfully at Lucy a moment, and retreated slow¬ ly to the single corner seat behind the one he had formerlj- occupied. There ¦was no talking to Lucy over the tall head of the reader, and Jlr. Torch grew uncomfortable and fidgety, mut¬ tering something to the ellect that he guessed he could fiud friends in tlie smoking-car; got up, and, with an om¬ inous grimace at Luoy, passed out. AS soon aa he was gone the book was closed and " that day he readno more." "If the wind blows more than wind ahould blow uuder the circunistancea, no doubt the tr.aiu will stop," he re¬ marked. " It ia au ill wiud that blows nobody good," she answered, referring to tho absence of Jlr. Torch. "I recollected, at last, that I saw him in St. Louis," he said. " I told him so, and ho did not appear to like it." " I hope ho will not be seen there again, for it is to St. Louis I am goiug." " So am I. I live there." A curious hope and longing sprang up in both hearts, which lent them a charmed forgetfulness of every thing outaide for some moments. The train whirled on with ita rhj'thmio motion, sounding an agreeable refrain (Stacca¬ to)— " Begun-begnn-to-be-as-one! Not-to-pavt-and-be-nudoue! A?>avt-apavl;-aiid-evev-miss Tllis-this-advaucing-bli.ssl No-no-no-begun-begnu!" The relentless brakeman, with his ignis-fatuua lantern, came round and lighted somo ineffectual lamps. " Niglit has come," s.aid Lucj", " but not the tornado." " Yes; but whj' is it thought necessa¬ rj' to expose the roof of tiie cars onlj- witll theae lamps—is it from some oc¬ cult astronomical feeling?" But, the semi-d.arknesa was favor.able for conversation, ao tliej' talked on ab- atruse, learned subjects, as j'oung foolish persona arc apt to converse, attd everj- moment felt drawn nearer and nearer to each other. They continued talking, iu a low tone, till every body had taken to nods, and the extraordinary contor¬ tions wliicn sleep produces on the Iielp¬ less frame when unsupported by a bed. It was auggeated th.at one seat should be turned opposite the otiier, for Lucj- to rest upon and sleep; thougii she pro¬ tested against it, tlie matter was accom¬ plished, and tlie young man retired to the corner seat to meditate, and watch for Mr. Torch. A period of silence en¬ sued, long to him, for Luey slept: it ajipeared the normal condition of mau to be on an everl.asting, straiglit, swift, banging journey! He pulled upthecar- blind and tried to peer into the dark¬ ness, something liurtled in the air out¬ side, then he heard a distant roar; it was coming nearer! Lucy heard it, and started to her feet—till heard it; the car was astir! '' A tornado, sure!" was cried. " Are we in the woods ? Stop her! Baek her ! Where is the conductor? It's nothing but a gust! Sit down, all hands!" Luoy saw the door fiy open,- and Jlr.- Torch trying toget in ; but it flew back, and shut him out. The roar increased, aud mixed with it waa a strange, sharp shriek close round them; the train stag- LBGAL NOTICES. EXEOVTOB'S XOTICE. Estate of John Frey, ar., Iate of Manor ^^ township, deceased.

Sherlli'. gered, then eame ajerlc, the ear grated, tipped, was off tlie track, antl went smashing against the stone sides of a culvert. Luoy was tlirown forward, and caught in the strong arms of lier watcher, who braceil himself against tlie upper side of the slanted car. " Keep still!" . was now shrielced ; " the danger is over; the car in detach¬ ed ; the train's .ahead. The Company ought to be sued for damages. It's weil no trees fell on us; we are titnler a bridge." Lucy was not as frightened a-s she shoultl be : her .attention woa diatrnolod by ihe beating of a strong heart, her cheek was ciose to—as no.vel a sound to her aa the roar of the tornado. " Are you afraid ?" he asked. ;¦ Not now." His arms tightened their clasp. It was pitch-dark, for the lights liad been kuooked out, and heooulduot see that she lifted her faee toward liis; but he kuow it, and bent his head. As in any darlcness and cliaos lips will meet, un¬ mindful of all except that which they seek, ao tiieirs souglit a meeting—they kissed each other with a kiss of surpris¬ ed passion, and then they were full of an insane joy. " I should nave been so unhappy if yon had not been here," slio murmured. " I never shall be happy if you are' away from me again," he whispered. Tliey felt like iniliflcrent spectators in tlie midst of the confusion. He w.ia the first to rally from their natural, but, under the circumstances, idiotic happiness. "My head is badly thumped," he aaid. " I tliink I must have made the tour of the roof." Lucy reached her hand up to touch the wound, but merely suciceeded in ob¬ taining kisses on it. " Oh.!" she said, " my arm is hurt; I just feel it." The tornado passing on, tlie passen¬ gers got out of the tilted car and took anotlier; the locomotive got uuder way, and the train proceeded. Several pet- sons, it was soon ascertained, were in¬ jured. A sprightly young man by the name of Torch hud his arm brokeu— how, it was not known; but Lucy felt, with compunction, tluit it had been clone in his effort to reach her. " The ass was right after allaboutthe tornado," said her friend. '• I'll look him up, set his arm, and aplogi!;e." " Are you a doctor'?" " I am Dr. John 'ravisli, at your ser¬ vice." " I am Luoy Tavish," she said, in'an agitated .voice. " By Jove! that accounts for it." " Accounts for what ?" " E.tplain the Tavish pedigree to me, ifyou please." "Seth and John Tavish are brothers." " Just what I have heen saying all along ; and you are on your li'ay to our house to make a visit. I am glad you did not meet my brother Seth first; he ia agood deal handsomer than I am : he looks like you." Lucy's mission was accomplished. She never nerformed a secoud journey like that, which ended with entering lier uncle's house as his son John's cou¬ sin, aud leaving It as his wife.

LTTCY TAVISH'S JOtmNEY.
At List tlu! ftiiuily unitotl on the (|Ues- tioii of IjUC.v's tiiking ajoumey. liven Iter-A.UI16 IJfbb.y Bavis, who opposetl her in ovci'.v thing on orthotlox priuei- plea, athnitted that perhaps she would nevoi' see a better time to ilo a useless thing, ami she might as well go and be done wiHi it. J«o one kuew how tlte suggestion had been started in Lucy's lielialf; like an invention, jirobablj' tlio nec'ce.sity fin'it ,g.ivc its birtli, and it vn.=;ein sovei'.tl minds, fo he perfocteil among those who eotild carry out thc plan. Valiil rea.sons were assigned for iliis jotirne.v—she was eighteen years Illd, and with the expecttition of devot¬ ing the rutnte to the happy profession 111'a village school-teacher had linislied lhe ueocessai'.y education—she had nev- i-r been out of her native place, uor seen a railroad, steamboat, or canal. It would he an advantage certainly to add the experiences of travel lo her ciinca- tion, aud elevate her plane above that of hev associates and seholais.
" Jhit where can she go '?" Mra. Tav- j.sh, her mother, inquired, describing the circle ofthe globe with pudgy hands acfiu.iinted with the makiug of butter- balls.
" Our relations have all died ont," added -^unt Debby, " old M65cs Davis, second cousin to yon .and me, Sarah, • went offsuddenly a year ago and his farm was sold. There' uo mistake about mj' missing the quinces I used to get every fall from his plaee. He was the l.ist of the DaviSes, .yon know, ex¬ oept myself aud yourself, Sarah."
JSIr. Tavish cogitated ; his rougii white eyebrows went up and down as if iu search ofsome friend to iptarter his Lucv upon. She must have an ob¬ jeet, and a hospitable destination. As he could ueither leave his farm nor af¬ ford the money it would cost to accoui- pany her, it would uot be proper other¬ wise for her lo rush blindly over some railroad, and jiut up at some tavern or gimcr.ick hotel, and order what she pleased, p.iying her bill like a mau. .She W.IS smart enough to do it, he ar¬ gued, but was too pretty, aud her " sar- .sy" way might come upou her at the wrong momeiic, aud fetch her troulile. Lucy sat demure in the famil.y con¬ clave, bul fell secretly proud of the im¬ portance her eighteen years had so un¬ expectedly a.«sumed, and pleased with the prospect of ti variation upon her dull life. .She turued over in lier miud thc pages of the Geography, whose, wood-cuts represented remarkable ob- .jects in ualuie : Kiagara, the Natural i iSridge in Virginia—not capable of re- conslrittlion—the Eoeky Mountains, and Uunker Hill. A journey according loheriile;m meant a pursuit of these famous objects, for the pnrpose of con¬ veying Iuformation afterward to those of one's friends athirst for kuowledge, and only able to receive it at second¬ hand, and of holding them in one's memory as the jireeious treasures of a past not to be rejieated. Somehow this idea of a journey did not attract her, it lacked luiiuan interest—a Stountain oould only be a large hill, and Falls mere water running swifter than a brook. PiLssing over these she saw with her mind's eye the pictures of cities, Kew York, Chicago, St. Louis; the latter stirred some vague association, striving to follow its clew she lost the thread of the couversatiou, but was call¬ ed lo it by thc loud tones of lier father, who was replying to some remark of his wife'.s.
" Yes," he s.aid, " you know what I think of relations, and what I have done for youi's and miue. Blood is a .great deal Ihicker than water.; it is as thick its mud. AVe llounder about, our eyes aud mouth so full of it that none |
