THE MIDNIGHT ELOPEMENT; Or Old Scratcaabat. The house was an old fashioned house and the people who resided therein were rather old fashioned and peculiar in their taste and dispositions. The old man's name was Arainadab Hollycob, the old woman's name was Matilda Eliza Holly cob and the young man's name was Thomas Jefferson Hollyoob. With Thomas Jefferson Hollycob, however, we have nothing to do, Our story relates particularly to Mary Joan Hollycob. ! . Near the residence of the nollycobs was the residence of another family.They were poor, but honest and hardworking people. The names . of these honest and hard working people were Jane Scratchabout, (who was a widow,) John Alexander Scratchabout her son, a id Funny Amanda Scratchabout. Our fat r relates particularly to John Alexander Scratchabout. He is the hero of our etory. The Scratchabouts were poor, as we have before taken occasion to say, und were therefore very obnoxious to old Hollj-cob, who believed that because he had piles of money he was an aristocratic nabob and could do as he pleased. - . ' Old Hollycob woke np one morning and found himself very sadly mistaken. John Alexander Scratchabout loved Mary Joan Hollycob and Mary Joan Hollycob loved John Alexander Scratchahout back again. They would have got themselves tied into a matrimonial knot if it hadn't bden for one single thing. That single thing was the persistent opposition of Arnicadab Hollycob, Matilda Eliza Hollycob and Thomas Jefferson Hollycob. Aminadab Hollycob declared that rather than have his daughter wed a lowlived, under crusted, good for-cothing cooper he would shoot her down lived like a "dory" and pitch tho clods of the valley upon her lifeless form, and never shed a tear.. Hard hearted eld Hollyoob! The lovers loved away in silence a spell and then they got tired of that way of loving. They determined to get married even though nil tho Hollycob in the universe should object. We might eay, parenthetically, that there were a great many Hollycobs in the universe. There was a large family of them in Troy nollow, a large family of them out in Bumpkinville and a large family of them in Parted ington Sqnare, and besides these large families, there were several email families scattered around throughout the said universe. Had the lovers seen all the Hollycobs arrayed in one grand Hollycob army they would instantly have given up the idea of "fighting it out on that line." - They would have concluded to "suffer and be strong as the moments dragged along." As the poit might have said if he had wanted to. As it was, however, the lovers saw only old Mr. Hollycob, old Mrs. Hollycob and Thomas Jefferson Hollycob to contend with and they opinioned that if they should make one grand strategic movement they could rout the entire Hollycob army, '-horse, foot and dra goons," and come off with flying colors. Brave boys were they 1 " The lover 5 met one starless night at the trysting place an old elm tree on II til ly cob's farm. We will give ear while the lovers speak. My darling Mary Joan, 3ou are late to-niht. What detained you my pine apple ?" Why, you see, John Alexander, the dog kept up a continued liowlin' and I wus afearcd to come out, but I've come now, my peach tree, and we'll have abul- . ly time." " Ye9, that we will," said John Alexander and with that he clasped the fair maiden to his palpitating bosom. Says John Alexander, ''have you got a kiss for me to-night my honey comb? and Mary Joan answered "I have that!" " Let us have it then," said John Al exander, "and let be a kerswallowper ! " " Agreed again," said Mary Joan, and the kiss commenced. Said kiss was three minutes long. Truly it was a lerswallowper. After the kiss was over and after the lover-like clasp had somewhat subsided, John Alexander said in a business-like way. " My strawberry, what say you now to the elopement ?' Mary Joan replied: 'Dear John Alexander, I have at last consented to slide. I'll live no longer as I have been living. I'll leave the parental roof I'll be yours, my John Alexander or I'll be nobody' s that's so!' Said John Alexander, 'you're a hunky girl, Mary Joan yoa are! You're head's level. I feel now that I could wage war with all the Holloycobs not only in this universe but all other universes for the possession of yoa my dearest, my darling, my jng of ice cream !' Thus we see to what length love will lead a man. ...

44 And now, said John Alexander, straightening himself up as if for a mighty connict, 'let ws fly let us away from the scenes of our childhood and let us have the knot tied ere the morning sun shall again gild the gable end of your daddy's smoke-house" Wal, Jim agreed," murmured the sweet Mary Joan, but as she spoke her spoke her voice trembled and a tear drop pushed itself out of one of her eyes. To tell the truth about the matter, Mary Joan felt somewhat disposed to back out. John Alexander poured a few words of fire and consolation into her ear and together they started for the residence of old Parson Whackletaker. When they arrived there John Alexander lifted up his voice, which by the way was an excellent voice for driving oxen, and he shouted. " Hello, Parson Whackletaker !' And Parson Whackletaker jumped out -of bed,fltng up a window and asked in a frightened voice. "What's broker" "Nothin's broke,' replied John Alexander, 4only me that is Mary Joan Hollycob and I want to get spliced, and we want 3'on to do the job and if you do it right I've got a V for you.' 44 All right,' said the parson and he put on his trowsers and came down stairs.- "Now,' said he as he opened the

door; 'come in and 111 fix the business for you.' Accordingi' John Alexander and Mary Joan marched in and were made one, then they marched out again and home. Mary Joan went to her home and John Alexander went to his home. The next morning as the sun was peeping over the hills Mary Joan jumped out of bed, tore her way down stairs and astonished the family by telling that she was married, and that she was now a Scratchabout. A scene of the wildest confusion en. sued. The old man and the old woman "took on" about it for an hour or two and then tiiey told Mary Joan to pack up her duds and be off. And Mary Joan packed np her -duds and flew to the arms of her John Alexander. John Alexander Scratchabout was only a cooper but tie was honest, temperate and industrious and in "the course of time he began to rise in the world. And when he began to rise the old folks "coved" and now they think "a power" of Alexander Scratchabout and his wife Mary Jo an Scratchabout ; and the Hoi lycobs and the Scratchabouts are now about as thick as it is possible for two families to be. Beadcr, my story is told. It is a true one. Eccentrio Hospitality. During the late war a soldier who had been wounded and honorably discharged, being destitute and benighted, knocked at the door of an Irish farmer near Pittsburg, Penn., when the following dialogue ensused : Patrick And who the divil are you, now ? Soldier My name is John Wilson. Patrick And where the divil are you going trom, John Wilson? Soldier From the Army of the Shenandoah Valley, sir. Patrick And what do you want here? Soldier I want shelter to-night ; you will permit me to spread my blanket on your floor and sleep to-night ? Patrick Divil take me if I do, John Wilsn. Soldier On your kitchen floor, sir? Patrick Not I, by the Hill o' Howth. Soldier In your stable, then ? Patrick I'm hanged if I do that either. Soldier I'm dying with hunger, give me but a hone or crust ; I ask for no more.? Patrick Divil blow me if I do, sir. Soldier Give ine some water to quench my thirst, I beg cf you ? Patrick Beg and be hanged, I'll do no such thing. Soldier Sir, I have been fighting to secure the blessings you enjoy. I have assisted in contributing to the glory and welfare of the country which has hospitably received you, and can you so inhospitably reject me from your house ? Patrick Reject you ? " Who the divil talked a word atout rejecting you ? May be I am not the scurvy spalpeen you take me to bs, John Wilson. Yon asked me to let you lie on my floor, my kitchen floor, or in my stable ; now by the powers d'ye think I'd let a perfect stranger do that, when I have half a dozen soft feather teds empty ? No, by the Hill o' Howth, John, that I won't! In the second place you told me that you were dying with hunger and wanted a bone and a crust to eat ; now, honej', d'ye think I'd feed a hungrj man on a bone and crust, when my yard is full of fat pullets and turkeys and pigs ! No, by the powers, not I that's fiat. In the third place, you asked me for some simple water to queuch your thirst ; now as my water is none of the best I never give it to a poor traveler without mixing it with plenty of wine, or something else wholesome and cooling. Come into my house, my honey; divil blow me, but you shall sleep in the best feather bed I've got in the house. No man shall ever say that Pat Foley ever turned his back on one. of the defenders of the adopted cousty that gave him protection.

This Company ia constructing under the patronage of the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, The Western end of the Great National Railway across the Continent. Their lines willettend from Sacramento, Califronia, across the Sierra Nevada to the California State line, traversing the richest and most populous section ot California and thence through the ereat minins region of the Territories, to the vicinity of Salt Late City. It forms the Ie Western link of the only route to the Pacific which ia adopted by Congress and aided by the ime of United States Bonds. Their road is already completed, equipped and running for 94 mile 1 roin Sacramento to within 12 miles of the summit of the Sierra, and a large amount of the work of Grading, Tunnelling, Ac, beyond that point has been accomplished. The First Mortjraye Bonds of this Company afford unusual inducements cf Safety and Profit to Investors, for the following among other reasons, viz: I'irtt. The rate of interest is Six per Cent, in CJold, payable semi-annually in the City of New York. Second. The Principal is payable in Gold at mat- ' urity. I Third. Tho cost of the Bonds, Ninety-five Per j Cent, and accrued interest, is Ten Per Cent. ; less than that of the cheapest Six Per Cent. Gold Bearing Bonus of the Government. Fourth. The United States Government pro vides nearly half the amount necessary to build the entire road, and looks mainlyto a small percentage on the lutnre traffic for re-pay men t. Fif&. Owing to this liberal provision, accompanied with Extensive tirnnts of Public Lands, by which the Government fosters this great national enterprise, its success 13 rendered certain, and its financial stability is altogether independent of tb eoiMins-eneies -which -attend or-dinniy Bail road enterprises. Sixth. The Security of its First Mortgage Bonds is therefore ample, and their character for safety and reliability is equalled only by that of the obligations of the Government itself. Seventh. The net earnings of the completed portion are already largely in excess of the interest obligations which the Company will incifr twice the distance, and are steadily increasing, rendering the uninterrupted payment of the Interest absolutely certain. Light. At the present rate of Gold they pay nearly 8 1-3 Per Cent, per annum, on the amount invested. The Bonds are issued in denominations of $1,006 with semi-annual Gold Coupons attached, parable in New York, and are offered for the present at S per cent, and accrued interest (in currency) from January 1st. Orders may be forwarded to us direct, or through the principal Banks and Bankers in ail parts of the oountry. Remittances may be made in drafts on New York, or iu Legal Tender Notes, National Bank Notes, or other funds current in this city, and the Bonds will be forwarded to any address by Express, free of charge.

Tab rapid progress of the Union Pacific Railroad, now building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and forming, with its -western connections, an unbroken line across the continent, attracts attention to the ralue of the First Mortgage Bonds w hich the Company now offer to the public. The first question asked by prudent investors is, "Are these bonds secure t" ext, "Are they a. profitable investment?" To reply in brief: 1st. The early completion of the whole great line to the Pacific is as certain as any future business event can be. The Government grant of over twenty million acres' of land and fiftv million dollars in its own bonds practically guarantees it. One fourth of the work is already done, and the track continues to be laid at the rate of two miles a day. 2d. T'ie Union Pacific Railroad bonds are issued upon what promises to be one of the most profitable lines of railroad in the country. For many years it must be the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific : and being without competition, it can maintain remunerative rates. Sd. 4'-'5 miles of this road are finished, and fully equipped with depots, locomotives, cars, Ac, and two trains are daily running each way. The materials for the remaining 92 miles to the eastern base of the Rocky Mountaii s are on hand, and it is under contract to be done in September. 4th. The net earnings of the sections already finished are general timet greater than the gold interest upon the First Mortgage Bonds upon such sections, and if not another mile of the road were built, the part already completed would not only pay interest and expenses, but be profitable to the Company. 5th. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can be issued only as the road progresses, and therefore can never be in the market unless they represent a bona fide property. . - 6th. Their amount is strictly limited by law to s sum equal to what is granted by the C. S. Government, and for which it takes a teeond lien as its security. This amount upon the first 517 miles west from Omaha is only $16,000 per mile. 7th. The fact that the U. 8. Government considers a second lieu upon the road a good investment, and that some pf the shrewdest railroad builders of the country have already paid in five million dollars upon the stock (which is to them a third lien), may well inspire confidence in a first lien. 8th. Although it is not claimed that there can be any better securities than Governments, there ar6 parties who consider a first mortgage upon such a property as this, the verv best security in the world, and who sell their Governments to re-invest in these bonds thus securing a greater interest. 9th. As the Union Pacific Railroad bonds are offered for tho present at 90 cents on the dollar and accrued interest, they are the cheapest security in the market, being more than 15 percent, less than U.S. Stocks. 10th. At the current rate of premium on . gold, they pay OVER NINE PER CENT. INTEREST. The daily subscriptions are already large, and they will continue to be received in New York by the Continental National Bank, No. 7 Nassau St., Clark, Dopgb A Co., Bankers.

Subscribers will select their own Ageuts in whom they have confidence who alone will be responsible to them for the safety of the bonds. JOHN J. CISCO, Treasurer, 2m:15 NEW YORK.
