A 'itAlratbAno,aAti.NT
On a- beautiftil morning, in November 'of the
year IBti7, I hastened to the Railroad station
in the city of to take - the ears for
__a dis- ,
,cant point in a 'neighboring State.
Persons Who have traveled much need not
be - informed that a railroad depot in &Aar&
city is a INint.4..consitle'roble.inter i est. It is
no uncornmordthing for parents to accompany
their childron-4 '' fiin-astdke- - depot; the
are about to — tale their departure from the pa
rental roof, to -try their "luck" in the world
and; too, the young folks aro often seen coining
up to say "good bye" to their cmintry . Cou•
eins and aunts that have been making a visit
to the city. Near the house for the stai ting
of the train, may be seen rushing forward, om
nibuses from the hotels; carriages horn private
residences, and pedestrians with carpct-sank
in hand.
It was amid the croaking of whips, the rat
tle- of wheels, and the shouts of , news-boys,
that I
_stepped from my carriage, and took a
seat in the ladles' car. I prefer this car, in
traveling, for the raison, that; if a clet‘mtion
occurs along the lino, it is' much more agreea
ble to he found among a crowd of Jodie's, than
in a Company of men, many of. whom, under
each circumstances, often relieve the tedium of
the hour with ribildy and buffoonery, Upon
entering the car, on the Occasion referred to, I
. .
- Tretected - orootrierfery farfr t oßlf%slino and ,
opened fife morning paper Which Iliad rtcerved
frorn the news-boy on the platform.. As I was
passing my eye gown its columns to catch the ,
items of interest, o vole° of singular, sweetness
:fell upon my oar, when, raising my eyes, I ob
served Olody, of prore_thaa ordirial7. personal

the, train tornove... - In frptit of 'the party above
alluded to, ett't.a gentleman and lady, engaged
in earnest' conversation. Immediately opposite
and were a gentleman and lady,,with two 'chil
dren, one en' active, sprightly boy of seven or
eight. years, the other an infant of soyeral
menthe. A seat a few steps in frilet of this
party was occupied by a plain-looking man and
'wow, with an interesting child> , -A-s-the en
gine Bent Mit its shrill,Whistle, thogentlemam
:Whom:110C dansl in g.in_the_earajmprinled,o,
Ickes-upon - the lips of *the aged. lady, and then.
Upon those of-the fair companion at her side,
after-which - he withdrew, TIT same interest
ing ceremony , was Observedity the gentleman
and lady just iii front of the above•mentioned
party before they sepatilled. From the earn
estness of the man's manner, and the reluctance I
which marked the withdrn*al of his lips from
those - orhia partnor, I Came to the conclusion 1
that hewas either nirold bachelor-thathadleft!
the-dreary regiMi‘ol celibacy,- or-a -widower, -1
whe - had been fortinettCenongly to - find a' fair
One to comfms'sienale his feeler condition. Atf i.
I drew My eyes from - this seene,'n sudden jerk
of the cars indicated that the train.would soya
bo in Modem - 11Mhell of the engine began.to
strike, end in a mententwp were off.
Whilst the train was moving out from the de
not,.the ladies iii front of mo tiuniedtheir heads
to gaze upon Fomenting on the side-walk, when
perceived tears falling down their cheeks;
end, froM the frequency with 'which they ap-..
plied their handkerchiefs to their eyes, I sup
posed their.heartstn he _deeply agitated., -Air!
thought' I. perhaps it Mother has 'taken a long
fareivell of - a devoted son, and a sister of 'an
affecti'onate brother. As his noble form (Bann
peered, they thought ~o f the, days when the
family group gathered unbroken: arofindl,- the
domestic hearth ;—when they-delighted them-.
Selves with tIM pleasures whiclisiiriehly-abbund'
in the_home' of affection and love;—when, as
the Nl'lllll ' S Inktloll in 'the • trees. around the
nhose, and. the fire blazed uponni the hearth
stone, they joyfully passed the bourn of the
long winter evenings ;--and. as these thoughts
flitted, across .. .their. minds. thirk shadow 4 ga
thered 'about •their hearts. No -wonder, then,
that tears filled their eyes ,1 •
But, just as I . vas- fixing myself fora train
of mellowing refleetions,a gentleman who had
been turtherliick in the cars, came forwa - rd
Mid took a_ seat 'by my side. "Tins is-m
,fine
morning,' sir;" - said lie. " Yes, sir, and 'I
ticipate great pleasure in mr-ride," was the
reply. which,ho received. A:pause ensued, and
finding that the last remark was about to Oleo
the eiMVersation; I ventured a compliment
upon - the ladies in the cars whereupon, he:
stated that hp always endeavored; when travel-
Mg by- railroad, to get a sent iirtheladice,car,:'
" I ndmireyourbiste,air,!_sahLl,_!_!.and. s per,
baps for the same reason that influences you."
The convivation, passing froin one told() to
another, was keptup for some time, 'when the
little Mate to our left began to show some signs
of life, Arodsing from a sweet, sleep, Which
had fallen upon it Were entering the car, it
commenced wriggling, and twisting, and cry:
ing, at a rapid rate. The father, taking a
bottle of milk froni his traveling-bag, put Bic)
the child'sJips, but the little creature ()fished
it from its month, end cried away as no one
lint n baby, attn. The 'mother petted it'. the
-father (cruel man !) scolded'. it; 'and it
kept up the excitement The gentlemen, who,
_together with his wife nail Child occupied a
seat a 'little in advance of the exciting scene,
rose to his feet, nnd generously tendered a
piece of candy to. the mother of. the pnor little
thing._ Politely acknowledging his kindness,
she declined the proffered sweet-meal Re
turning to his seat, he soon t'oulid trouble in
Hs own camp, fCr . 1 he noise of the earn; and
the excitement around had awakened the child
sleeping upon his -wife's bosnm. "TO me, it
was an hour of tuitional pleasure, for it :dump
delightstine to.see.a baby into " tempest
