Young man, lisle thread gloves. breath very strong of wintergreen. Says, ••Whaes the damage!" Where are you going' - "Why, to Poriland, of course." Well, that was a blunder of Paul's. He ought to have known that Joshua ry as going to P— - Did you ever see a two Jeer old steer jump a fence about four rails high ! That ws.

The agent at VirbiOhall was an acquaintance of this man ittf tardily, "and ben' as how he was poor, reckoned he could go through on two t iCk et S. " He it till bound for Kansas, and we concluded he wor4labe Luny in assisting to make up that ninety-lthree and odd thousand that is requisite before A be can come in, and we passed on, and next encounter ed a crowd of drover.' with return passes.-- They hail littered the fluor with peanut shells find hauler. quids There was a strong odor of -hog ruing from the group as , they 4sl oa either .I,le or the hot store Glue big fellow gnus led out, "I don't want your paste-board, - :L... 11 I. offered him a check fur hits pass. Paul remarked that he might not recollect him on cooling round again, and received she polite reply : ••%1 ell, hold still 'till I knock; you down ty.or -it may jog your memory Bt the way. 'l'd you ever hear of George S's adventure with the drover". George is Conductor on the Ni V Central. A stove had just been put up in the car, with nicely polished piece of tine underneath it. Sumedirty fellow had dropped • dig mouth ful of tobacco saliva on the zinc. George saw it in passing hrough. and was angry. He stood, much excited, pointing t o the stain, his eyes glen - dug rapidly front one face to another, and said. -I want to know whudune that "- !io answer Again. noire excited than before, be repeated in= the question A big drover, weight shout two littudrod and a quarter, slowly raised up sod said, ••I believe I dune it—now what you goin' to do about it ' ••Viby. said George, ••you are just the man I in hunting for —give us a chnw tobacco: Look at this family just ahead. Herr is a dirty job A provision hoi covered with leather, with a spread-eagle curiously traced with the heads of brass tacks on the top of it, is produced from under the seat. and the family have Pat commenced lofted. There is a horrid conglomeration of butter, grease, cold meat. cheese, onions, eta., etc., that mile announce; themselves to .the egtMes of sight and smell. Whaf do you want! says palcrfonuliats, as we' him on the shoulder. upon the cushion of the seat, bract_ diving his hand to the bottom of his pocked, produces his tickets. Paul simply -ptine.hiss his tickets. and passes them back—he don't want his checks to go inso that pair of paws. If dirt was trumps (asCharlesLanili - saidl what altnight:t that fowl') would hold! Here is a very penurious old woman, just got aboard at a way station. We are at her sole in a munieut, and strange to say, the old ladfluts all the symptoms of a deep sleep upon her We jog her gently: she does not waken: we shake her again, a little harder, and she opeas her eyes in rather poorly effected ti4tint i,htlient, and wishes to know what we want. - Reminding her that the fare is so touch to Erie, and expressing a desire to receive said fare, she forks over -theyoung lady behind her wickedly remarking that the excessive heat of the day tends greatly to drowsiness Ther 'tunneler at freezing point. gent ucky droreriutk 4, ' • W here shall we feetr• Conductor replies: Vie wait twenty fire usinut es at Erie Fellow from "Indianer - (we could smell it on his breath) said he'd see 'em d--d before he'd eat a mouthful, or spend a cent in Erie—although they did charge fifty cents for dinner, it was'nt the money, it was the prin ciple of the ping. IMem., on our arrival at Erie. saw this Hoosier on the blind aide of the train bargaining sharply with a peanut boy, for a five cent pie.] Voting man with a copy of Toddy' Student's Manual under his arm—a gray shawl on hi• shoulders, a pair of spec tacle% astride his nose, (how many literary peo ple are addicted to spectacles) tight neck hand,- kerchief, silk hat brushed very smooth, ekcepti ing a space of about three inches on the body, nest the riot, the nap of which is brushed the wrong way Hi+ hair you discover kas he takes off aforesaid hat to wipe the perspiration from 'his brow, ) is parted on both sides, and turned up in the middle like a rooster s comb. How easy to tell a pedagogue. There! do you see those three girls ahead 7 Von * can hear them, fur their tongues run like Mill clicks. °nista' theta is reading a letter. and getting up a blush under her "eat,' between her "spit curls. - The others have their heads together, looking intently st a ,slaguer reoiype one of the small fifty cent kind. They city -it is Willy's pitcher"—one kisses the -pitcher," and tlie other forthwith snatches it from her. A tussle ensues. The autocrat say+, "When a young female wears a flabeir cular side-curl gummed on each temple ; when she walks with a stale, not arm in arm, but his arm against thelnick of hers—sod when she says 'Yee' with the note of interrogation, you are generally safe in asking her what wage* she gets, and who the 'feller' was you sail 'her with." Oh, Mr. Autocrat, you never WaSIOUt in "old Chautauque." Why, they an daugh ters of a farmer "well to do." He nestle his pile on cheese, the year cheese was so high. Here we have a keen eyed, sharp featUred, New EnglLid divine, who produces a half 'fare pass on the Boston and Railroad. Paul informs him that we cannot recognise ttpass here. Ileenquiree, "Why not?" andafter rex planstion.during wbieh wriggles and sqt e us amazingly, he to draw his "w 1- shin."

He hopes. that when the last train of mortals shall have passed ova the road of life, and been Rarely landed in the great depot above, he and Idsdiseiples, who are this thing and that thing, Trinitarian or Unitarian,. according to locality' sad circum stance, will somehow "pass" on the plea of the broadest and fullest exercise of 'IBM ground work of their faith, which accords to every man the right to think, say, do, and believe, that which seems to him best. This is the charity, (oh much abused words) which is to cover • multitude of their sins. He goes west to lec ture; or, as L— used to say, "to preach ignorance to the heathen," and leaveihis dock, (Lou/ Dro) to feed on husks, or to hunt their spiritual living during his absence. "The New York Slasher" is out, and this is "dasher day" on the cars. Look at the anxious groups at the stations as we arrive. Eager, hungry amis, are waiting for the Stashes. At some small stations, where the delay of the train is but for a moment, the procuring of this paper has been quite reduced to a system. The colored boy who vends the SlasAer, is attend ing to his duties in the train, and cannot always be on hand to supply his customers. A party of "boarders" take the- train in centre, mar, and front, and rush through with the under standing that he who first reaches the newa vender. procures copies for theehole expect-' ant crowd. Ho Paul! spread open a copy, and let tts see what kind of food in dealt out to these ravenous creatures. Here we find on the nau.t conspicuous page "The Bine Pig with the saf fron colored tail," by Korn Cobh " "The desert ed, and forlorn Maiden," by Kmma X. R. M. Northworth "The Veiled Lady," by SylV‘iit Butterfly. "The Tin-Pan Maker of Berlin," Pte., with a morsel of Washingtonian*, as a chlorid-of-lime to the mess. And with such mental aliment, the boy with the long curly hair and sore eyes. and the girl with the spit curls and flounces, hurries home to their-- haniluet —to their "feast of fit timings," who shall say with what results.

The Conductor informed the nt, after they were seated in the ears, that 14 waa going to give them a pretty fast ride a few miles. The whistle screamed and this train started. Terror seized the whole Ottriy of chiefs. They jumped to their feet Itid rushed in a body to the doors, which dhe l ent had wisely taken the precaution to have ked. It required all of his eloquence to sure the Indians that no harm would bcfall ilpeto They had Jaen told of the strong iron iiirso, and had formed some ides of it, but they itiere nut prepared for the reality.

Two Irishwomen with red-noses and hratery eyes, are - Visaing and shaking hands with some frienda, who have come to the ears to see them of and as they part, all parties tburet into tears. Almost any passenger wit inessing this scene from the coach window, jwould imagine that these two damsels were !bound for Ireland, at least. Let me tell you the truth, and say to you that I have witnessed f such scenes among these people almost daily for eight years. .• They are going to Dunkirk and will return home 10-nwrrate wk." But, Mr. Editor, I have already exceeded my limits with -The Mail Train West." We have passed twice over the road in company. and If you will keep awake, we will take "The Night Express East" nest week. Mg. A certain clergyman in this city some throe months ago, married a highly respectable-looking couple of arangers.— He was somewhat Surprised when they bade him "good afternoon," the bridegroom making no offer of the fee in such, cases always expected. A day or two since the clergyman met the delinquent husband.— The latter grasped the former by the band, and shook it with greatcordiality, anxious ly inquiring alter his health, his family, etc., and wound up by presenting him with a sealed envelope and disappearing. On ,opening it a fifty dollar bill presented it iself to the eyes of the astonished clergy { man, and A few lines saying that the hus !band was unwilling to "pay the minister" until he had tried his wife and found her "not wanting." The experiment had re sulted to his entire satisfaction, and "en closed he would please find $5O, a fee for his performance of the marriage services." —(9ovehnid Review. - - " Dan," said a little four years old, "give me ten cents to buy a monkey." •• We've got one monkey in the house now." said the old brother. • Who is it Dan 1" said the little fellow.

The young Indy. whose dark blue eyes had been scanning me, as I could perceive through her blue silk veil, how lifted it with an exquisitively gloved little band, and extended the other tome, with *charm ing mixture of frankness and timidity. " I am very glad to meet, you, Mr, Le Roy," said she. - I thought I should know you in a moment. Jenny described you so ac curately. How kind it was for you to offer to take charge of me. I hope I shan't trouble you." In the midst of my bewilderment, at thus being addrssed by the sweetest voice in the world, I managed to see that I must make a pLoper reply, and proceeded to stammer out what I thought an appropriate speech, when the servant who had left ns for a moment, returned, and I abandoned it unfinished. " Did you see illy baggage, Edward ?" asked his mistress. " Yes, Miss; it is all on." " Then you had better hurry to reach the 7 o'clock boat. (food-bye, and tell them you saw me safely off." - I stood like one in a dream, while the man handed me two checks for the trunks, and endowed rue with the light baggage he had carried ; but I was aroused by the young lady's asking me if we had not better secure our seats in the oats. and answered by offer ing her my arm. In ten minutes we were seated side by side, and trundling out of Albany at' a rate that grew faster and faster. I had now time to reflect, with the !welly face opposite me, but where was the use.— Some strange mistake had undoubtly hap peneAl, and I had evidently been taken for another person of the same name; but how to remedy this now, without alarming the innocent young lady in my charge—bow to find the right man, with the right name, among several hundred people, and how to transfer hes, without an unpleasant scene and explanation, to the care of some one whose per4on was no leas strange to her than mine ! While these thoughts whirled through my head, I happened to encounter those smiling eyes fixed upon ine, and their open, unsuspicious gate decided me. " I will not trouble or distress her, by any knowledge of her position," I concluded, " but will just do my beet to fill the place of the individual she took me for, and con duct her wherever she wishes to go, if I can only find where it is I" I turned to her with an affectation of ease, which 1 wag very far from feeling, and said. "Itis a long journey." "Do you think so? But it is very plesci sant, isn't itf Cousin Jenny ejoyed it so much!" • " Ali, indeed I" " Why, what a queer man I" she said, with a little laugh.

I looked down at the beautiful face. slightly paled with fatigue, -that' rested against me, and felt like a villain. 1 dared not touch her with my arm although the boundingof the ears jostled her very much. I sat remorseless until the sleeper settled the matter by slipping forward and awaken ing. She opened her eyes instantly, and smiled. "It is no use for me to try tO sleep with my bonnet ono' she said; "for it is very much in the way for me, I am suie it troubles you." So she removed it, giving me the pretty little toy, with its graceild bons and flowers, to put on the rack above us. I preferred to hold it, telling her it would be safer with me, and after a few ob jections, she resigned it, being in troth too sleepy t o contest the point ; then trying the blue silk veil over her glossy hair she leanedagainst my shoulder and slept This time when the motion began to shake and annoy her, I stifled the reproaches of my conscience, and passing my arm slightly round her slender want, drew her head upon my breast, where it lay all night.— She slept the sleep of innocence,' serene and peaceful, but it is needless to say that 1 could not close my eyes or ease my con science. I could only gage down on the beautiful, still face, and imagine how it would confront me, if she know what I was, and how I had deceived her, or dream ing more wildly still, reproduce it in a hun dred scenes which I had never before to imagine as the face of my l wife.— 4 11 , 1 3(l iiever loved, unless the butterfly loves of Saratoga and Newport might be so dig nified, and still less had I ever dreamed or thought of marrying, even as a possibility and far off contingency. Never before, 1 solemnly aver, had I seen the woman whom I wished to make my wife—never before had I so longed to call anything my own, as I did. that lovely Sae lying on my heart. No, it was imp..ble for me to sleep. In the morning we reached Buffalo, and spent the day at Niagara. If I had thought her lovely, while sleeping, what wan she when the light of feeling and expression played over her nice, as she eloquently ad mired the scene before us, or was even more eloquent still. I don't think that I 'looked at the Cataract as much as I looked at her, or, thought the one creation more beautiful than the other. ' She was now quite familiar with me, in :her innocent way, calling me "cousin :Frank," and seeming to take a certain , piessure in my society and protection. It was delightful to he greet"d se gladly by her, when 1 entered the hotel parlor) to have her come forward from the lonely seat where she had been waiting, not unob served or unnoticed, to receive me—to have her hang on my arm—look up into my face—tell me all her little adventures alone, and chide me for leaving her so long, (how long it seemed to me) while every word, look, and smile, seemed doubly dear to me, because I knew the precarious tenure by which I held my right to them.' She busied herself, too, while I was gone out, with our baggage, and rummaging all over her trunks to Ind a book which I bad express ed a desire to see—she mended my gloves, sewed the band on my traveling cap, and found my cigar case whenever I had lost it, which was about twenty times a day, while she scolded me for the carelessness, which she declared almost equaled berown. bens ago she had given over into my pos =lher elegant little porte-monnsue, ilt her Monefin it. which she was sue she would lose, as she maid never keep anything," and as she had ordered me to take out what was wanted for 'her traveling expenses, I opened it with trem bling hands when I was alone. and ezem lead the contents.

Indeed, thus far, I had not yet found the way of the transgressor hard, in external circum stances at least, Ind when with her I for got everything Out her grace and beauty, and my firm retolution to be no more to her than her cousin should be; but out of that charmed presence my conscience made me miserable. am afraid I must-sometimes have be trayed the of:inflicts of feeling I bad, by my manner, but when I was reserved, and cer emonious with her, she always resented it, and begged meso bewitchingly not to treat her so, and to call her by her sweet name "Florence," that had I dreamed as much as 1 longed to do, I could not have refused her. But the (tenaciousness that was not what she thought me, but an impostor, of whom, after our connection had ceased, and she had discovered the deception practiced upon her, she 'could think or remember nothing that would not. cause unmerited self-reproach and mortification, all innocent and trusting as she was, this reflection, more than any other, I confess, and the knowledge of the estimation in which she would forever hold me, after my imposition was discovered, agonized, and I would have given all I projgossed to own it to her and leave her sign at once, though the thought of never seeing her more was dreadful.— But that could not be. At last we reached St. Louis. Do I say "at last?" When the sight of those spires and gables warned me that my brief dream of happiness was over, and that the remorse ful reflections I had been staving off so long were now to commence in earnest, the tho't of the tanning banishment from Florence was dreadful to me, r id the time seemed to fly on lightning wings as it drew near. She was all gayety and es astonished at my sadness and absence of mind when so hear home and Jennie, and when we entered the carriage that was to 'convey us to our destination, I had half a mind to take a cowardly Hight, rut her than encounter the scorn, mitl disappointment of those blue eyes; hUt I mustered courage and followed her in, giving the address found in the ports-numnaie. which fortunately was the right one, to the driver. /Almost home said she, turning her brig lit face toward me—we were rustling up the street anti in) time V. short tun you be , ssri cold and quiet ?"

The coach stopped as I spoke; she turn ed towards me eagerly, her face bearing traces of tears, and said, in a low voice— " Do not misunderstand me if I was so silent." The coachmen threw open the door, and stood waiting. I was obliged to descend and assist her out. I hardly dared touch that little hand, though it was for the last time, but I watched her graceful figure with sad distress. She was already recog -nized, for the door - Of the handsome house before which we stopped was thrown open, and a pretty woman followed by a fine-look ing black whiskered gentleman, whom I supposed to be my namesake, rushed down the steps. There were loud exclamations of astonishment and pleasure, a cordial welcome. and some rapid questions to which Florence returned very low and quiet answers, and quickly extricating her self from the confusion, presented me as "Mr. Le Loy, your husband's namesake, and the gentleman who kindly took charge of me." I glanced at, her face to see if she were mocking me, but it was pale and grave. Mrs. Le Roy op'eniAl her pretty eyes wide ly, but was too well bred to express sur prise, and after introducing me to her hus band in the same terms, invited me Into the house. Hardly conscious of what I did, or anything, except that I wax still in the presence pf Florence, from which I C 0131.1 not endure to banish myself I follow ed them into a handsome parlor, where sat an old lady. who my conscience told use was the rheumatic aunt I had so cruelly belied. Florence herself presented me to this lady, who was a fixture, and unable to raise from her chair, and before I could stammer an apology and retire, related in her own way (how different from mine,) the mistake by which she had been placed in my care, and the history of our journey, in whiCii it appeared our host, Mr. Le Roy, had been a fellow passenger. When she had ended, they all crowded about me, warmly expressing their thanks for "my kindness and consideration," to my utter bewilderment and surprise, and cordially inviting me to remain with them, and make the acquaintance of my namesake and fam ily. I detached myself from all this uneu prated kindness as soon as I could, for ' I fancied I read aversion in the flushing and paling face, and drooping eyes of Florence, and srith one last look at her left the room. A moment after. I felt the touch of a light hand on my arm, and turning, saw, with mute, surprise, that she had followed me into the vestibule. "Mr. Le Roy," she said hurriedly, "I cannot let you go away misunderstanding tue as I see you do. If I was silent while you so humbly apologised for the noble, generous, and honorable delicatly of your conduct, it was not from anger, believe MP, but bemuse I was first too much astonished. afterwards too much-moved and grateful to speak. I owe you more than 1 can say, and should be miserable, indeed, if tv false shame, which you see has not prevented my telling you this, should prevent you from continuing an acquaintance so strangely begun. Trust me, sir, I speak the truth." I don't know what answer I made, for fhb revulsion of feeling was almost too great for words, and the rapture of know mg, as I looked down into that lovely face Unit it was not for the last time, quite took. away the little sense I had remaining.

A few weeks since, while in one of the beautiful inland cities et Wimonaht, an in cident occurred which awakened in my mind a train of reflections which possibly may be written and read with advantage. 1 was hurrying along the street when my attention was arrested by the appearance of a little boy oil the side of the pavement, selling candy. He was not rainy beauti ful, nor was he decidedly the reverse.— His age was about nineyears ; his clothes were old and faded, but well patched.— His candy was spread upon a coarse, white cotton cloth, neatly stretched over what had been a japanned server. He was sur rounded by aof small boys, evident ly=id belonging to es of society. As I came nearly him, the oft repeated interlude, ' ,sirr fell upon my ears, and, although opposed to the ex cessive use of candy, 1 stepped aside tc!Pat ronize the light-haired, .pale, freckled, homespun little representative of trade.— I purchased of him, partly for hiirencour &gement, but with particular reference to the friendship of the little folks of the fam ily with which I was the temporary guest. The candy was as white as the cloth be neath it, being free from the poisonous coloring ingredients so extensively used in the confectionary art. I tasted it, and found it delicately flavored awl very nice. "My NI," said 1, "yoOr candy is very good. Let me have a little more." I im mediately saw that my remark had awak ened in his youug heart- emotions which, in themselves, were quite abstract from the candy trade. His oountemlnce beamed with joy, as he raised hisilarge eyes, spark ling with delight, and obeierved, in reply:— "It is good isn't it ? Afotter made it." In these few words wail embodied an un conscious exhibition of qbareater. Here was a spontaneous outbutet of filial affec tion. Now this incident, in itself, was trifling: but the spirit of the language carried my mind hack through life more than thirty years, and at irregular intervals bade me pause and apply the \ sointiment to ome item connected withrity,Own history. Before making the aAcilication. however, I wish to disalmse invielf of the charge which such application May incur, of ap propriating to myself the nobility of char acter which I have above attributed to tile candy hoy. Holding myLself exempt front this arrogance, I would i dinply•say, I am not ashamed of the profession of my affec tion for my parents, and I hope I may not outlive that profession. When I was a little bey, at school, and carried my dinner in a satchel made of cal - ioo, some of my school-ntates carried theirs in fashionable willow beasts, and some times teased me Imicausei I carried mine in a "poke." 1 felt vexed. but reconciled myself with the recollection, that, if I did carry a calico poke, "weeder istods it." In leafs than twenty-five y alter that time, one of these same echoobnatea was happy to avail himself of the privilege of sending his Children to my school to receive gra tuitous instruction, proffered in view of his extreme poverty. Ma! children came to school without. any dinner.

' Mother made it, and I was satisfied with it. After we grew up to be men, William Foster came to me to get me to calculate interest on a small note, at six per cent. per annum ; he carried a pencil worth four cents. I had no gum-elastic he'll; but I had one made of woolen rarelings and covered with leather. •Mother made it." When in my twenty-second year, I left home to attend school in L. There were in the school some fast young men, the sons of wealthy parents. There were oth ers whose good sense was not annihilated by pecuniary advantages. Of the former class was one John Stokes, who wore very fine broadcloth. My best coat was not s fine ; the cloth cost two dollars and fifty cents a yard ; my mother had traded tow check of her own manufacture for it, while I was working to assist myfather in raising his family ; she paid fifty cents for getting the garment cut, and made it herself.--- John Stokes came one day to my desk. held out his arm, compared his coat sleeve with mine, and inquired, ironically, where I got such a fine coat. I proudly told him, "Mother mad. it!" He feigned great sur prise, and sarea.stically observed he had mistaken it fOr imported; he wished he could get such fine crores, and won dered if mother would not get hint up a fine coat. A short time afterward, while in a tailor shop one morning with a fellow student, John Stokes' tine cost was brought in by 21 lad, with instructions to scour and press it. He was not in his class that day ;he had been seen the previous night on Wat er Street, rolling in the mud, drunk as Bacchus. He left the school in disgrace. He now lies in a drunkard's grave. I boarded myself while attending school here. I walked nine miles home at the close of each week, and returned on Mon day morning with my Wolof bread under my arm. It would become stale before Friday evening, but I always relished it when I recollected that "ether made it." "XVIII= ICA= IT." I am now so far advanced in life that my Friends begin to call me old. But have not lived long enough to learn why I should not still respect my mother and re gard her affeetionately. She is quite ad mused in years, and has nearly lost her sight.

And shall I now curl the lip of scorn, or blush in company, to hear her substitute a verb of unity for one of plu rality, or pronounce a word twenty years behind the Welaterian era? Never—no never! The old dilapidated grammar in my library might testify against her style ; but its testimony would be infinitely more terrible against my ingratitude.
