And here, spread out in broad domain, A goodly landscape all my trace; Hall, cottage, tree; field, bill, and plain; 1 Who’ll buy .himself a Burial Place? On the morning of Monday, February 4tb, 1856, 1 entered the office of the Ca nard Steamship Company, in Paris. “ When does the Etna sail ?” “ The Etha leaves Havre, for New York, to-morrow morning at daylight,” said the agent. “ Phew !” I whistled, “ that is too soon!” “ You can take the last train from Paris this afternoon,” he explained ; “reach Havre at ten to-night 3 go directly on board the Etna ; bleep on board, and be ready to sail at daybreak.” “ The price of tickets ?” “ One hundred and ten dollars, first cabin.” r “ And if I purchase a ticket, and then miss the steamer, J forfeit the money pail.” “ That is our rule, sir,” replied the agent. “ I will think df it,” I said, and walked out. I carefully considered the subject, as I strolled up the Boulevards. With only a few hours to .transact my business in, take leave of friends, pack my trunks, and hur ry to the card —-the chance of missing the train, the possibility of missing the steam er, even if I got the ! train, the : consequent loss of money, time and temper; this was one side of the question. On the other hand, I was anxious to quit France and return to America, with out delay. The Etna was one of a tempo rary line of steamers, established by the Canard company, between Havre and New York; and the . next one would not sail for a month./' j ;|ad strong reasons for going in thisi line,; in preference to any other; T thought-of them all—balanced objections— .about—and in half an hour, )C entered office, and secured my passage/ / ;.j ■§ Being assured 1; would find no difficult; in tlie cals, I tophi up; pains to get accommo dations at a respectable hotel in Havre —a precaution no. traveller in Europe should neglect, on proceeding to a strange city, if he wuuld ayo|d being swindled' I make these explahaiibpspih order that you may fully appreciate j my situation) when alter bidding a hasty adieu to Paris, and ridiug several hours overa French railway, adis-| tance of one hundred and thirty milesj I arxlved ncar midnight In Havre and found, ,No SIEAM|SaI i : , Vv /• > The Etna, which I was to go<so softly' and neatly onboard ofj andsleepso oofn*- fortably, after a yearisome and aprons, day's work and pifiiht’s dia new Ocean | Propeller, which was to ; ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1860. |Nrg.

HOMEWARD BOUND. BY PAUL CB.EVTON [independent in everything.] take me easily to New York in ten days— had neyeP been seen or heard of in Havre! So at least I was informed by all the railway officials, omnibus conductors, and hacx-drivers, of whom I inquired. I thought of the useless ticket in my pocket—the agent in Paris, to whom. I had paid oaar my last roll of golden Napo leons,- reserving only a sufficient quantity of the base metal to meet contingent ex penses—the friends I had left in the gay metropolis, and the wprld of strangers, mostly asleep, in the dark, dreary, forbid ding seaport to which I had come—and I frankly confess that for a moment I'felt disheartened. I remembered what Falstaff somewhere says, in an hour of danger and trial— “ Would it were bed-time, and all well.” What a world of meaning in those words! “ Bed-time and all well!” The trouble over, the danger past, weary toil and wandering and anxiety at an end, a chamber of rest, a downy pillow, nay, any pillow*! and peaceful sleep at last! Have you itever been in a situation to think what blessedness is expressed in that little phrase—“ bed-time, and all well ?” With me it was bed-time, and I had no bed to go to ! s But I had learned one thing, which you will have to learn, if you ever visit Eu rope ; namely, that in those countries of routine and strict regulations, no man knows anything but of his own line of business. If he knows anything in that line, we might excuse his-profound and astonishing ignorance on every other sub ject. But he is usually like a dog, that has been taught a few tricks, or a parrot that has learned a few phrases; these he can repeat charmingly well; but anything beyond is to him a sea of chaotic igno rance. To a Yankee, accustomed to the bright curiosity and quick intelligence of his own countrymen, this stupidity of for eigners is sometimes utterly amazing. I had experienced something of it to day ; and on reflection I concluded that the Etna might be lying in full sight, within a dozen rods of the railway station, notwithstanding the fact that none of the thick-heads of whom I inquired, had seen or heard of her. Bat this was not very consoling to think of—for how in ,the darkness and silence of a strange city was I to pick out my steamer from a forest of shipping ? I was about looking up a guide, how ever, and setting out on the search, when a remarkably smooth-tongued fellow, over flowing with exuberant French politeness, approached me, and said, touching his cap, “ Monsieur, vent oiler a hard du buteau a vapeur Etna ?” (Does Monsieur wish to go aboard the steamer Etna ?) “ C’est Justement ct que je desire— (That is precisely what I wish.) I an swered. 'The French politeness overflowed in the most sympathetic- and persuasive manner. “ Monsieur ferait bien d’aller a not re hotel ” —and he handed me a card. “ You bad better go to our hotel. I know the Etna, but you cannot get on board of her until your passport is signed at the office, which is close to our hotel, but which will not be open until seven o’clock in the morning.” “ But,” I said, “ the steamer sails at daylight!” “The hour has been changed, and she will sail at nine,” the smooth French tongue answered glibly. “ Ours is the Hotel de Belle Vue; the best in Havre; there are six gentlemen stopping there, whom I am to take to ticket office in the morning, and afterwards put on board the Etna. If you go with them you will be safe.” I believe wc always have a certain in stinct of something false or wrong, when a scoundrel is lying to us. If we were only wise enough always to listen to that instinct, and not let the lies persuade us! With an inward, misgiving, and a vague feeling that all was not right, I questioned my polite informant, and said to myseif— “ Is it possible that the straightforward consistent story he tells is all a fabrica tion ?” “ It is not possible!” And so, convinced that it was the best thing I could do, I delivered to him my baggage; I saw it-put on a coach, and rode with it.to the Hotel do Belle Vue. As 1 had supped on the journey, I or dered a room, gave directions to be called at the same bdur with the six gentlemen who were going with me in the Etna, and retired. It was; bed-time—and —Was it all well ? It was no use to discusS that question then j so I simply repeated to the landlord who left the hougie (wax candle) in my. chamber,— “Ba sure and call me in time I” tc On pr’ovbliera pas, Monsieur" fit will not |>e forgotten), he hastened to as sure me,jus he went hacking and bowing Out of the room." I Vent to bed and slept When ( I awoke it was broad day. I was staged in find myself: in a strange room, haying dreamedl myself home in New Encland, aa far Irom Franee and Frenchmen as'ifl crossed tli© Atlantxb. The sight o| the large hpndsome - chamber, thepof ished floor, the elegant h«d-enrt»ins, We extinguished bougieltn the tablewhere I had left it, quickly recalled my situation; and I remembered with a thrill of appre hension that I had come to Havre to get on board the Etna that was to saif at day light. -■=?■■■ Quieting my fears by recalling the story the hotel agent had told me, and the pro mise that 1 should be awakened six, I looked at my watch—- and found teas al ready past seven ! ; i That looked like treachery. I was in my clothes in a minute. I ran down stairs and called for the landlord. “ What will you have, Monsieur ?” said a pretty-faced maid, with a coquettish smile. r . '•> “ The landlord !” I demanded; 1 “ The landlord is not here, Monsieur.” “ The agent who brought me here last night,—where is he V* “ He has gone off to the railroad-, Mon sieur. He will not return before ten o’clock.” “ But he was to put me on board the Etna !” I said. “ The Etna ? I know nothing about it, Monsieur.” “ And the six gentlemen who are to sail in the Etna—where are they ?” “Monsieur,” replied the maid, with perfect politeness, “ I have not heard of the six gentlemen.” “ They are not here ?” . < “ Not here !”—and she shrugged her pretty shoulders. Here was a predicament I No time was to be lost in parley. I read on my ticket, purchased in Paris, the address of the Havre agency; I rushed out, got a police man to direct me, and in a few minutes was standing in the door of the Cunard Company’s office. To get beyond the door was not easy, the office being crowded with second class passengers, waiting their turns to get their passports. I thought if all these people were going in the Etpa, my passage was safe enough. But due showed me his ticket —it was for another vessel; and when I asked him if he knew of the Etna, he answered in broad Yorkshire accent — “ She sailed this morning.” That was startling. And when I look ed oyer- the dense crowd before me, and made a calculation .as to the time when my turn would come at the clerk’sdesk, I con cluded that it would not be much before noon. So I broke through the regula tions of the place, raised my hand and my voice, and brandishing my ticket, de manded information regarding tbb Etna. The appeal attracted instant attention, and a clerk promptly came ardana to rue. He looked at my ticket with surprise, exclaiming in honest English, “ Wjby sir! you should have been on boafd last night!” I rapidly told my story ; to which I goi the rather unsatisfactory reply,- “Itis a pity; for it is impossible to get on board now. She quitted the warf at daybreak. She is out of reach before this.” “Is that positive I inquired. ■ “ She should be—-hut you have one chance in ten —to jump on board as she is passing one of the locks, if it is not too late. I’ll send a man with you!” ; I blessed the honest Enghshmaii in my heart, told the guide to meet me -at the Hotel de Belle Vue, and ran hack to se cure my baggage. . ' N By this time the landlord made bis ap pearance; and I saw plainly by daylight what I had only a vague suspicion: of the night before,—that he wore perhaps the most villainous countenance that’eyer be longed to a keeper of a hotel. , It was a bad face, full of avarice, craft, malice abd jeering diabolical roguery “ Scouhdrel!” I said, “ you ved me 1 Bring my baggage, and bo-quick I I am an American, and I’ll have leisure to see you well punished, if I l|se the steamer!” ' T This threat I hurled at him as he went to set out my baggage. . I meant* every word of it, for surely I never saw |a thief whom I would more rejoicingly hive as sisted to bring to justice. The Franck arc strict against all suchkqWeiyy especially where there is an American in. the casethe fellow was a coward withal; and he doubtless , perceived that ft would be for his interest to get rid of ’ipP as speedily as possible.
