Novensber 18. 1886 DIAR WAIIVIIII4X : • wha juia_ made it his busbies to travel much through the different western States, ; cannot ovoid noticing the marked changes the manners and &dome of the people of the west from those of the emit. In the west every man you meet is friend ly, sociable, and but little inquisitive. If you stop over night at the house of a weft ern farmer, it is ten chances to one if he will ever ask your name or your business. If mare disposed to tbll him voluntarily, all right; ibfiot, all right anyhow. All he wants of you in the morning—if he thinks you a‘"traveler on speculation"—is the pity for ye& lodging and breakfast; if be knows-you are in search of land on which to locate, you can consider your bill paid, without- taking the trouble to draw your "weasel skln." I do think there is more genuine hospitality welt than there in east. I account for this from these circum stances : that most of our western men commenced business with but Title capital, and consequently were greatly dependant upon their neighbors for that support which their limited means could not purchase ; d4nee, befog under obligations at one period of their lives for favors shown, they feel it a duty to return the same to others when the opportunity presents Itself. As a gen eral thing, western farmers live well; that is, they have plenty to eat.. •-ttliikinds of vegetables being in abundanoW antk,gLests sod game plenty, no disposition is iitoitn to spare the substantiate or scant the stom ach. As to furniture and sleeping accom modations, the fewer the bedsteads and bu reaus• the more room in the house ; and the harder the afktress the sounder the sleep. These rough accommodations have a ten_ denoy to make a healthy and robust man— an animal of universal appearance u every township In lowa and northern Illinois. The custom' of shaking hands is-oplayed out." Whelk stranger comes.around sha king hands it is to be inferred that he is either an ‘' Insuratiee agent" or a "can vasser" for some publishing house, and consequently the "lighter the grip" the more pleasant the sensation. Almost any kthd of a house will do to live in in this country. The better calcula ted it is foithe wind to whistle " hbw d'ye do" through the cracks and crevices the more robut the hmbles. I have seen a family of Len persons living in a' cabin ten feet square, and not a window was discern able Intim house. Yet that matrwas worth as many thousand dollars u lils cabin was feet square.

"Every man's eyes is his market" in the west, and if he allows any one to play "sharp" on him the cause-may-geserally-be sttributed to-his haring the "bighead," or not understanding how to "weed the slang." It Is no trouble to get acquainted.

We have "spun our yarn" on the "manners and slang phrases of the west." We will give in our next letter a ventilation of "Western Mutual Insurance Companies" —at present the greatest swindle of. the age. We are inducted to do so from the rapt that an attempt is now making to establish tuob companies east, as the projee under the impression that they ean Lperate with more success in more thickly settled States. Their story is seductive, and many an innocent farmer is "duped out" of his "stamps" for listening to the siren's song, and if we can prevent the further spread of such swindles by "exposing the ropes to the weather" we feel that the ends attained will justify the means resorted to. Yours in the faith, oIIAWKEYE" Yea, I will relate the incident to you, but it always leaves a sadness upon me; Mktl I wonder why to some the hour of repentance never comes too late, while to others it nev er come: at all. Ab, if we only Would not de these things that noun be repented of ! In the Summer of 1852 I tool'. passage upon a Western steamer for Cincinnati. The river was remarkably low for the sea' min, and we were kept in constant annoy ance by the multitude of passengers, the scarcity and poor quality of the fare, and the almost daily stranding upon the bars, which the falling water brought near the surface. But the incident which occurred on Rollo bar, as the pilot named it, com pletely hid these minor grievance and made me forever *shamed of my selfishness.— During the trip I bed made the aoquain fence of a young man, whose' line person and agreeable manners impressed me most favorably. Confidence jow rapidly be tween us, and in In boas nten feeling was more than usually predominant, he bad told me his history. He had been married, fora little more than a year, to a lovely young woman, who, he said, was his saps rior in everything save family position.

They were married, but unrecognized iii their new relation by ilia proud,family ; and not only so, but these injured relatives tried every means to part thmte whom Sod bad joined togethpr. It was cunningly and craftily done; add when the young hus band would miss the elegant society he bad moved in, among the friends of his wife, the father's doors would be thrown open, and more than usual parade and splendor would receive him. She was not admitted, nor inquired after. At first this sting and mor tified him, alas I for mortal weakness, she soon was forgotten by him during these visits. After the novelty of his Married life began to wear away, he turned too wil ling an ear to the luring voices in his aria. teeratio home ; his manner grew gradually oold and even harsh to her, whom he swore to leave-father and mother to cherish. His collars was borne as only woman can bear 471 things, and. his unkindness repaid with tenfoid love. • But be was not won back, and sought more and more the gay ohrtde of his father's Wyse, leaviug but one W watch the dying embers upob his own beat, Al length be told his wile , that he moot seek another home, that his business did not prosper there, nail - be must' bur it up elsewhere.

The second day of our sojourn here, many of the passengers had taken the steamer's small boats end crossed to the neighboring shore to relieve the mo notony of the ship-life, for ea it had beitemi. Some had partially stripped themselves and waded sumiensfollyi through the shallow Water, noticing whi p, the repentant him band proposed to me and a third party to follow their example. My rheumatism would not tolerate for e.q., 'natant much • bath, the others accepted the proration, and quickly preparing themselves, they leaped from kite lowerdeck into the water. It was not more than fourfeet deep, and I watched them moving rapidly along re gretting that I could not share their sport. They were not more thad thirty yards front the shore, 'and were already exchang ing words with their friends upon it, when in a moment their feet were swept from be neath them by a treacherous under current; they were drawn under, and carried several yards down the stream.

The boats had unfortunately gone, farther up the stream with the last load of passen gers, and several minutes elapsed before 'the urgency of the ease could be made clear to them. They then bore down with all speed to the rescue, but to the anxious spectators it seemed as th‘ugh they moved not- Rails from a near fence, and limbs of trees hurriedly broken off, were thrown Into the current, but it refused-to carry them in mid-stream; and they floated uselessly along the shore. In the meantime the adventu rers struggled manfully, and, with incredi ble exertion, one extricated himself from the dangerous current and fell down ex hausted upon the aboirle. It was not the young husband. lie still buffeted the stream whiob, alas thougifirts knew it not, was bearing him farther _away from the hank. The little clothing he had on, cling ing round his limbs, impeded his move ments, and he was evidently wearied.— Twice be had been drawn under, but the love or life, now doubly strong, still bore him up. His efforts grew fainter and weaker, and his voice crying for help sounded to the horror-stricken 'spectators like the,jew wall of an infant. The boat was not ten yards from him when he sunk again, and the swift...river gurgled :over him. Grap pling hooka were lekdowekandjuppled for him, divers swam in the water add dived for hint : for more than an hoir the search was oontinued„ but the treacherous current kept him and hid him..

RATHER ROUGH HONEYMOON. On last FHday morning an athletic young farmer, in the town of Waynesburg. took a fair girl, "all bathed i n blushes," from her parents, andslarterfor the first town across the Penneyivi9in line: to be married. where the ceremony could be performed without a license. The happy pair werd accompanied by a sister of the girl, a tall, gaunt, sharp featured female of some thirty seven sum mers. The pair crossed the line, were-mar tied, and returned to Wellsville to pass the night. People at the hotil where the wed-, ding party stopped, observed that they oon_ ducted themselves in a rather singular man ner. The husband would take his sister in-biw, the tall female aforesaid, into one corner of the parlor, and talk earnestly to her, gesticulating wildly all the time. Then the tall female would "put her foot down," and talk to him in an angry and excited manner. Then the husband would take his fair young bride in to a corner ; but he would no sooner commence talking to her, 1 than the gaunt sister would rush in between them and angrily join in the conversation. The people at the hotel ascertained what this mtenttubon_titine _O'olook. that exaning. There was an 'mbar in the room which had heed assigned to the newly married couple. Female shrieks and masculine "swears" startled the people in. the hotel, and they rushed to the spot. The gaunt female was pressing against the door of the room, and . the newly married man, mostly undumeed_, was &Wring her out with all his might. Oc• casionally she would kick the door far enough open to disclose the stalwart hus band, in hie gentleman Greet slave appa rel. It appears that the tall - female insiSed upon occupying the same bed with the new ly wedded ; that her sister was favor ably disposed to the arrangement, and that the husband had agreed to it before the wedding took 'plea., and now indignantly repudiated the contract. "Won't you go away now, Susan r said the newly married Man, softening his voice. - "No," said she, "I won't—so there !" "Don't you budge an inch I" cried the married sister within the room. ”Now—now, Maris," said the young man to his wife, In a piteous tone, 'don't go to cuttin' up in this way ; now don't." out up , s much as I winter I" she sherply replied. "Well," roared the desperate man, throw ing the door wide open and stalking out among the crowd, lest yon two wimin, 'put on your duds and .go right straight home arm' bring back the old man and woman' and your vranfitther, who is nigh on to a hundred ; bring ,em all here, and the whole d—d caboodle of 'no, and weal all sleep together !"
