BELLE AMAMI TBAILEELLING-BAG A train bound fon Bt. Louis had just left She depot of Bellefontaine when, a gentleman eater d the smoking-car and laid his hand upon the shoulder of his travelling companion—a ,tall handsome man of BQ, 'Who sat musingly blowing rings of smoke into the air. M.Starcy," said the hew coiner, "if you want to see at once thl3 sweetest and sad dest sight you ever beheld, go into fife last car but one on the train. There's an emigrant German woman, with four little children, and during the afternoon the youngest—a baby—Las died. The moth er and the other children are inconsolate." "I can understand;" 'interrupted the smoker, "the sadness of such a scene, but where is be sweetness you spoke of?" An'Turing to that. The whole party haVe been taken in charge by a young lady. Such a beauty! She's dried thb mother's tears, and wiped the children's noses. She's a divinity: She only needs a few feathers on her shoulder-blades to make a full-fledged angel of her. If I was not a married man, I'd never leave her till I'd made Mrs. 'Angelica Townsend out of her." "That's a speech which I shall faithful ly report to Mrs. Agnes Townsend," said the gentleman addressed as Marcy, rising. "I shall go back and feast my eyes on this I. ...A -M-1 Clz.l......trhariitaili." 120;ak 'ed, taking his travelling and from the rack, "as we stop at the next station, which is due in 10 minutes, I may as well hike my traps throngh with nie, and join' you on the platform." - Thus•saying, Richard Marcy, threw his shawl over Nis shoulder, and sauntered lcistirelyithrOugh the long train—rushing blindly and calmly to his fate. for t as he entered the last car, but one he became a witness and an actor in a scene that influ enced his whole future life. The . poor, gric`f-stricken German, of whom his compauion, Dr. Townsend, had spoken, with the dead infant in her arms, sat silentl , Weeping over the little dead face. The three sturdy children, grouped in childish sorrow about their little dead brother, was indeed a touching spectacle. But, standing beside them, was the divin ity of Dr. Townsend's admiration, and she who was most certainly to "share the ends" of the unhappy Richard. She was a tall, slender girl of eighteen, with magnificent eyes and hair. As he entered the car she was speaking, her lovely face flushed, and the small, rosy mouth, disclosing a beautiful sett of teeth, turned bewitchingly toward the ten strang er at the door. "Ladies and gentlemen," spoke the sweet voice, "this poor woman, frknadleri and penniless, speaking no English, with four little children, was expecting to find work •in St.. Louis to support them. If yerything had gone well with her it Would lime been hard for her; but with her little dead baby and sorrowful heartshe is cer tainly a deserving object of charity; and I propose that such as Seel willing eon- Ijribute tbeir mite toward a little purse for her immediate wants and the buristof her poor baby; and," she added, with a be- , witching smile, "if any gentleman will lend me a hat I will go round and take up a oolleetion." In an instant the gallant 14ichasd pulled his travelling cap from his blonde, curie and offered it to the Angel oilier% who accepted it with a smile; this time'sai h er own, and commenced g athering the 'read ily forthcoming dollars 'her gene.roue, graceful appeal brought from the punks of all in the car.

Look at that diner— see that thimble—contemplate that glove.' "It's evident you've got the lady's satchel. And what was there in yours?" "Don't bring up that dreadful idea," said Dick. "Cigars and a hair-brush, a pack of cards and a comb, pocket-flask and a tooth-brush—everything disreputa ble. am judged by' that bag, I am 'a lost =en.!' "And this I took fin- a clean shirt;" and "Dick held up. a frilled and fluted sack, such as do duty for more extensive night-dresses with ladies when travelling. I'd like to see Angelica when isliVopens my satchel." And Dick fell to musing, with the slip per perched oa two Angers, and the trilled white sack, spread out tenderly on his knees. In an upper department of a handsome mansion in St. Louis, on the evening. of the day our heroine lint made the read er's acquaintance, beautiful Belle Alden, the I;etted and only daughter of the house sat contemplating the various articles her confideatial maid was disposing upon the table—artkles taken from no less reoepts• de than Dick Marcy's trarelling.bag. The cards and cigar -case lay side by side, and a highly-eoented party they were. "What's in the little silver flask, Roes," said the fair mistress. "Brandy, ma'am," replied the maid. "He can't be very dissipated, to travel with such a little bottle. That's in case of sickness, I suppose," returned Belle. "It's my belief," said Rosa, who was a shrewd giri, "that the gentleman was a mighty nine one, else you'd not so readily excuse the cards and the bottle." "For shame Ross. All gentlemen play euchre travelling, and even clergymen, .take a little brandy in ease of eickness," summered Belle. "And this man was a gentleman and a liberal one, too, for he gave the poor emigrant woman slo. What's that, Rosa ?" • For at that moment Rosa held between her fingers it letter. Whether 4 was wrong to read a strang er's letter vexed Belle for a moment, as her 4 . mr‘ancred at the superscription and "Why, of all thingst- w delighted girl, seizing -.the letter. "Why; Rosa, this =Jenny Marey's writing, and addressed- to Richard Marcy—her only darling brother—who was IR Swope when we two graduated at Mule= Ritter's in Brooklyn." Belle read rapidly until she had reached the middle of the letter, when she burst into a merry laugh. !`Hear this, Rosa," she said, and she read from the letter: "Above all things, Did/4 dear, don't fail, while in St. -Louis, to see my best friend and schoolmate, Belle Alden. know you will fall in love with her, for besides being the best girl in the world, she's a beauty and an heiress, and father's choice above all others for his son's wife.

"and what will she say when she hears of your having met in this romantic way," "I don't intend to tell her of it till I go to New York this fall," said Belle. "Per haps her brother will call." But in this supposition Belie was wrong. The month passedi - and she saw no more of the golden-haired Richard. And she carefully separated the yellow lock in the little keepsake from the dark tress of Jenny's and put it back into i place alone, while another locket held the bit of Jenny's. And somehow Bessie looked very, very often, at the wee golden curl, and she never did so but the rest of the handsome head sprung up beside the lock; and she would sit and contemplate the picture her fancy wrought for her, lit tle if:roman the Luttirest she was aiming to grow in her boa= for Jennie's brother.

"0, Belle!" she said, "I long to have old stoical Dick see you. Hark! there's his step. Come into the next room now, and be introduced. Don't wait till the carriages come—it's an hour yet." And Belle, with a beating heart, swept through the door and stood even as Dick ;first saw her, only, in place of the gray travelling dress, a magnificent white satin fell in rich folds about her, and upon her lovely white threat lay the turquoislocket that /kaki. Dick's golden curl. Upon the beantifnl head, crowned by its chestnut hair, corona' of pearls added to the grace and beauty of an image that, &brined in Dick's heart, was already an angel. Belle-did not look up, but she felt the presence, as Richard Marcy came up and wan introduced to little Jenny's old school mate. Then, as he held out his hand, she raised her eyes, and laid her tiny palm in his, and said: "I think we had better rectify that mis take about the travelling-bag, Mr. Mar- "Good heaven, Jenny," Wi Dick Mar cy, "why didn't you tell me that your friend Belle was my 'Angel of Mercy ?" ' "Because I didn't know till last bight, and then Belle made me promise not to tell. And besides, you didn't want to meet the freckled school-girl till' it was positively necessary," returned Jenny, mischievously. It would be bent to say which of the four that made Jenny's bridal party was the happiest that day. Dick did not go to Paris that winter.— He found that St. Louis contained more attraction than any foreign city. But the next fall will see Dick and Belle on their wedding tour, and he vows he will have the two old romantic travelling bags brushed up for the occasion. Dr. Townsend, who is to go along, says he knew the minute he saw that girl she would one day be Angelica Marcy, as he "felt it in the air." Priertimi laxami - URAidetra. AN NNOLIIII CIIITICULN ON TINNY I=2l Al Orfigtaal View .hike Poet The truth must be told about gesiques as well as about pretenders. If genius has its privileges, it has also its responsi , balite& and when it chooses to abandon these, it deserves the sharpest condemns tion—axidem nation sharp in proportion to the abasement. Mr. Tennyson's new volume of song poetry is sorry stuff. At present we leave the• music out of the question; we limit ourselves to the verse Qua poetry and with relation to Mr. Ten nyson's previous reputation. We say, then, that the series of songs entitled "Window, or the Loves of the Wrens," would be crude enough and silly enough coming from any versifier, any Linley er Carpenter of the day; but coming from Tennyson they are simply insufferable.— Take any of the stanzas at choice, pick them out any where, they present the same thin spnn-out thought, the same tiresome repetitions, the same affectations -of simplicity, the same achievement of silliness. Mr. Tennyson proceeds through all these songs on the assumption that to repeat, a word or a couple of words over and over again is to make them poetical. To say "blow wind" is prose; but to say "blow, low, wind, 0, wind, 0, blow, blow, blow," is poetry. The same trick by which he has produced effect in his later productions, exhibited in lines like "0, love, Inure be tote, 11 love be ours," Are this time showered upon us at every turn. They commence in the first song. A lovsr is supposed to be watching the lights and shadows: "Follow them down the slope: And I follOW them down to the window-pane of my dear. And It brightens and darkens, and brightens like MY hone, And it darkens and brightens, and darkens like lAq fear. And the winds are nto in the morning." In the seeoand song nearly every word . is repetibon: "Vine, vine, and eglantine, Can sot a dower, a dower be mine, Rose, rose, and clematis, Drop me a dower, a flower to kiss, Kim, kbo-atid out of her bower, Ail of flowers, a dower, a dower, Dropt, a flower. in the third, the lover hu ealled on his mistress and finds her out. Worse—she is not likely to Ve at home for some time. "Gone Gkme till the end of the year; Gone, and the light tons with her, and left me in shadow here, Oboe; aftted sway! Takenthetlatars framthe night and the sun from A wild dipper of Tennyson says the opening or thasong is like the heavy tolling of a. Amend bell. It is more like the dhasof sn auctioneer. "Gone;aaits dead In my heart, and a storm In „ the air • ' 'townie the asst or the west, Ilittal .1 kimr lot where I Lime In the Kith !as flash and a groan! she is thors,lthe b Oen?" • L fob rind a groan f Is anybody then ebot Wthienehluok; ebierthere would be some dramatic action, whereas "The Window" has no action. whatever.

No; this. is the last publication of the poet lAtureate, the representative singer of the age, the creator of "In Memoriam," of "The Princess," of "The Idyls of the King," of "Tithonus," "The frost is here, and fuel is dear, and woods are sear, and &es burn clear." Evidently Mayor was a poet without knowing it. "Ann has got a Can. The fan is for Dan. Has Nan a can?" Such were the lairreate lays we learnt in infancy. "Birds' love and birds' song Plying here and there, - Bords' sang and birds' love, And you with gold for hair, Birds' song and birds love, Passing with the weather, Birds' love and men's love To love once and forever." This is Song V. Observe the admira ble accuracy of the rhymes: "weather" and "ever." Could Close do worse than this? Baying and Nevin: may take hope; the Laureate's example excuses their false. ear and condones their wretched jingle.

You so small am I so tall Can't we come together. "Bea, bas, black sheep, have you any wool ? Yes, master, that I have, three bags full."

"Heart, are you great WWI For a love that never tires., 0 heart. are you great enough for love, I have heard of thorns and briars.'? Admirable acquisition of scientific in formation! We likewise have had the phenomenon of thorns anct briefs brought under our notice—also of gammon and spinacbs. But what happens through this young, man's intimacy with hedge rows? Wtmlk effect has it on the story or any incident in the story? None at all, save— "Over the thorns and briars, Over the meadows and stiles, Over the world to the end of it. Flash for a million miles." Tennyson's new work ends with a flub. So does a.fanthing dip. But then the dip is at least worth a farthing. .a. MZ*M? ion wit. The lonely aiid almost botmdiess plains of the West have witnessed strange scenes. Many a battle has been fought on them of Which no survivor has told the story. Many a human being has lain down to die of exposure and stavation in those rgmote wilds, without even the poor comfort of being able to transmit his dismal tale to home and kindred. Many a terror-stricken wayfarer has been swept out of gxistence by the remorseless fire of the prairie, which has crammed its hungry maw alike with white men and red, with the domes tiecattle of the settlement, and the wild beasts of the plain. A few bleaching bones, or broken fragments of arms may, perchance, give token of what has passed to some traveler; but the wolves and pan then of those regions are greedy and lil ted, and generally even the slightest traces of such casualties ditappear. There came into Sioux City , some days ago, a man whose chances of canna'? from the penis of the Plains that beset him were so slight that his preservation seems almost miter:their& Aultisttrance com pany, even of the sort that take doubtful risks, would hardly have guaranteed Thomas Dormitt's earthly existence for ninety per tent., knowing In advance the task he meant to undittake. Dormitt, it mean, is a Texas cattle-driver. His affairs had drawn him to Fort BOW, and her found Meme l. at that post last October. Lnekihad gale against him,. and he was gufte.wfthont memey—he had not, inflict, a 'Wen dollar. He made up Ida mind that he urns: go home to Texas. The distance, however, is twelve hundred and -terekty-the and it lies through an DOM codatry noterkwudy diaprour. litiliornithermise potpie at Fort Baford Mid iterirrivres fer-toe an 'open winter, and the adventurer was likewise 'portended that the Indians of the region had moved seusiorard, He therefore rolled up hi blankets andlimmunitien, shonklered hiv rifle, and boldly struck out for, Terms. When be bad tiavek4 two hundred Dormitt was overtaken by a fearful snow storm. It eame i down litowly and finely at first, but afterwards In gigantic flakes, pilingup higher and higher, covering all tracks, and filing.the air withitablinding Airy. The unfortunate men gave himself up for lost. He could neither go forward nor backward, and, Ilk° the outcasts in Bret Harta'a story of "Poker Flat," the only prospect before, him was that of a snowy sepulchre. IR the moment of his agony, and as if by the special interposi tion of Providence, , the poor fellow stum bled upon a hole in an embankment. Here he remained in safety, and even in warmth, until the storm passed over. As soon as he could make any way through the snow he came forth from his shelter, and—naturally enough—started to go back to Fort Buford. Having gone a mile, be paused and reflected. Texans do not relish the "back track ; " and Dor mitt thought be was doing what was cowardly. Presently he resolved to decide his course byja method practiced among children. He set a stick on end, letting it fall as it would, determined to go in the direction it should indicate. The stick fell toward Texas, and Dormitt, setting his face toward the East, pushed on onro At this time he had been without food for two whole days. He argued that he was as likely to,fall in with supplies in one direction as another, . and this being the case, it was best to prosecute his origi nal intention. Growing weaker and weak er, on the second night after leaving hi•S retreat in the embankment, he discovered another similar hole. Into this he _crawled.on all fours, when suddenly ho clapped his hand on the face of a dead / Indian! He drew back with li ... shudder; but, soon reflecting that a man not afraid of a live Indian need hardly be terrified by a dead one, Dormitt remained in the hole. Presently, to his joy, he found a large piece of frozen buffalo meat, the property no doubt of the deceased brave. This was our traveler's salvation. He ate heartily, slept well, and in the morning went his way. On the following afternoon he fell in with a party of Indians., who robbed, but, strangely enough, did not otherwise molest him. The same evening he came directly upon a monstrous black bear, who was equally considerate. After undergoing extraordinary hardships, and being many times as near apparently un avoidable destruction as in the instances we have described, Dormitt got safely to Sioux City and related hiS adventures to the editor of the Journal of that play,. He had been about seventy-five days in accomplishing his journey, was worn to a skeleton, and almost naked. Curious to say, his health was, notwithstanding, good, and, his wants freely supplied,. he was soon in the best of spirits. Many records exists of very small parties acCom plishing the transit across our Central. Continent, and of others who have „tried it and miserably perish; but we have never before heard of a single individual attempting it. The figure of a solitary man setting forth deliberately to make his way across vast and desolate wastes, is romantic and moving. Such a journey might have been attempted by Cooper's Leather Stocking; but- with this excep tion we know of no other character, either in fact or fiction, to whom such resolute hardihood would seem natural or possible. (For the Star and Sentinel THIS SCOLDING WIFE. "What fools some girls are!" exclaimed she sat by the cheerful, blazing fin, while her husband, Mr. W. Smith, was quietly engaged in smoking a cigar, and reading a newspaper. Mr. Smith took nq notice of this, and' kept his eyes on the paper, as though he was incapable of looking in any other direction. "It's a pity I ever married!" -continued Mrs. Smith; "I should have lived a single life, and died an old maid!" Mr. Smith arose from his seat, laid his paper :on a table, and giving his cigar a toss into the fire, replied: "Sarah, I am surprised to hear you speak thus for I am sure you arc provided with every luxury which I can procure, and I see nothing to prevent yunr being happy and contented."
