An aged Irishman took loavo of his frionds at Lost Creek this morning for a trip to the Emerald Isle, lio was sur rounded at tho depot by a scoro ot weeping women who wpro exceedingly anxious that his trip should bo a safe; one and bet v. eon sobs they offered all sorts of suggestions. "Good bye, Dan; go straight to tho ship when you get to Philadelphia," "I will." Then another anxious woman dropped her apron and fald,"Don't stop any place.Dan, but go straight to the ship." Tho laconic answer was "I will." Then a thud cried, beseechingly, "Danl" 'That?" asked the old man. '"Go straight to tho ship." "1 will." Then a fourth woman grabbed bis arm and said," "Go straight to tho ship, Dan. ' The old man was becoming nervous end to the last anneal ho answered. 'That tho divll Is tho matter wid yor.do yor think I'mgoin'to wait 'till tho ship comot to me?" Just before tho arrival of tho train a woman, carrying a tag that had boen writ' ten by tho station agent, put In her appear anco. Sho pinnid tho tag to one of the old man's coat sleevos. It read: "Tako this man to Philadelphia and eeo that ho gets on board tho ship for Ireland." Then fol lowed more tears, good byes and blessings and it was with dim ulty that the old man could got on tho train. As tho train pulled out from Lost Creek tho old man wriggled in his seat. His hands woro pluDged nor vously into his overcoat pocket?, then the fingers went into the vest pockets, the hands went down into the pockets of the pants, csmo out again and wandered over the breast p.ickots of the overcoat. There was an anxious look on the old man's face as ho turned to tho other passengers and seemed to ask, "Havo you got it?" They felt sure ho bad lost his pocketbook or some other valuablo thing. The passengers woro beginnlngto got as un easy at tho old man, when the latter leaned forward and looked under tho soat. As ho resumed an orect position a smile was be ginning to build itself around his mouth Ho had found it a short-stemmed, well soasonod clay pipe. Dan arrived safe ii Shenandoah and when last soon was riding backwards towards tho Pennsylvania depot, on bis way to Philadelphia, via PottsvilK The tag of instructions was still upon his coat sleeve and Conductor Hendricks said he thought Dan would get on board the ship.
