BAGGAGE TRAIN THE WIND. The wind is a bachelor, Merry and free ; He roves at his pleasure O'er land and o'er sea ; He ruffles the lake, And he kisses the flower, And he sleeps when he lists, In a jessamine bower. He gives to the cheek Of the maden its bloom ; He tastes her warm kisses, Enjoys their perfume ; But, truant-like, often The sweets that he sips Are lavished next moment On lovelier lips. FREDDY DIDN'T ELOPE. Freddy was in love. My gracious wasn't he in love ? And what was worse, he didn't tell his love, but let concealment, like a worm in the bud, prey on his damask cheek and faith ! Freddy's cheek was damask enough at that time. He was a rosy-cheeked little fellow, was Freddy, some seventeen or eighteen years of age; a clerk in a railroad office at the magnificent sum of $400 per anum ; and it was the size of this salary that caused Freddy's concealment of his love ; for although he wasen't very well skilled in the knowledge of this wicked world, yet he had learned enough in his 18 months " business life" to knowlhatif he should fly to the father of the object of his affection, and, falling at his feet, should tell him that he loved his daughter devotedly, distractedly, and wish to share his fortune with her, come weal, come woe, that hardhearted monster in human shape would cobly enquire what was the fortune that he wished so earnestly ,to share and when the truth came forth that all his visible means of support were the above enormous sum, it would be " all up with Freddy." And so Freddy was miserable miserable in the office where he abstractedly made so many errors that he called down upon him the wrath of his superiors ; miserable in his room at night, to which he never retired without feeling convinced that he should pass a sleepless night, and where his head never touched his pillow without his' falling instantaneously asleep, and never awaking up till morning. He first saw the object of his affection at a dancing-school, where he fell in love with her ' before he knew her ; and when once was introduced, and danced with her but once, he dated his existence from that dance, all before it was a blanjrv She was a " bread and butter Miss," fresh from boarding-school ; where, novels being strictly forbidden, the girls read nothing else ; and she had become deeply impressed with the importance of having a lover, and Freddy present ted himself in that guise, was at once accepted. I don't mean at once popped," but he saw her home from dancing school, and singing school, and called very frequently. But, though having a lover was very pleasant and romantic, and all that, yet, being engaged was much more so, and she wished that Freddy would propose long before he did so ; for Freddy, being of course unaware of this state of feeling, was afraid to ask the simple but important question, and lo she sang the song " why don't the men propose ?" at him to no purpose. Three times he came prepared and nerved three times he left his cap and courage in the hall, but the fourth time, frenzied by the attentions of a rival taller than himself, by at least an inch,, and with symptoms of a moustaehe, he fell on his knees in the hall, when on the eve of departing, and was blest. ' ' Freddy went home and passed for once a sleepless night ; but when the, grey light of morning showed itself at the window, he fell asleep ; and when the bright sun shone in, it shown upon a happy dreaming boy, dreaming of a pleasant cottage covered over with honeysuckle, where he and Helen lived happily where neither care nor sorrow entered in, bui all was peace and love. Freddy was late that morning at the office, for he had to order hisengagement-ring ; and when he fitted it on that evening, it seeemed as if the cup of his happiness was brimming over. But every day has its night, and Freddy's night was a dark one. He must be married somehow he couldn't get married without her father's knowing it and neither he nor she dared to tell him and Freddy's night was very dark. But at length a gleam of light shot across the darkness. An elopement that was the very thing. When he proposed it that night it was received with rapturous bursts of applause. Helen had read of how the Count Leonard o'del T aborini had borne the Lady Angelica del Parodi down a rope ladder seventy feet in height, and afier cutting his way through seventeen of her faiher's retainers, armed to the teeth, had rowed her sixteen miles in less than an hour to the ' chxpel Del San Pietro, and there married her in i triumph ; and although she scarcely expected : Freddy to do such prodigies of valor, and had ; some doubts as to the ability to perform the like aquatic feats, yet they might be closely pursued, i and it might get into the news-papers headed " Romanuo Elopement," and, in short, " take it j for all in all," it was just the thing; and so it settled that they should elope on the next Thur - . day night at 10 P. M. j All Freddy wanted was u friend to explain his absence from the office and why he selected Mr. Jackson for that friend he never could ex- i plain unless Providence sent him there. Per- i haps it was because he had been kind to Freddy, and had taken him to his room and taught him something in the noble art of selfe-defense, perhaps ; but at any rate Freddy did go to him, although Mr. Jackson laughed at ' love and all that sort of thing. After extracting a solemn pledge of secresy from him, he told him his plans. To his surprise, instead of laughing at him, Mr. Jackson became grave. " How are you going to support your wife after you get her?" said he. Freddy said that her father was rich, and would soon be reconciled when he found that he could not prevent it. ' But you don't know that he will," said Mr. Jackson. "Suppose he don't?" and Freddy, who had never contemplated steadily such an

alternative, was fain to confess that in that case he didn't know how he would be able to support her in the same degree of comfort which she now enjoyed. " Now look at it in another light," said Mr. Jackson ; "you say her father, being a widower, does not pay much attention to his daughter's friendships, and so is not aware of your attachment ; and that he has invited you to his house because you are a stranger here, and he knew your father. Now would it befit a gentleman to take advantage of his kindness, to induce his daughter to do that secretly which she does not dare to do openly, for fear of his displeasure ? Would that be honorable conduct befiting a gentleman 1" And Freddy, nonplussed a second time, but for having been called a gentleman, would have cried. Then Mr. Jackson told him that his better course would be to go to her father, and having told him of his love, his plan, his revoking that plan because it seemed dishonorable, beg him not to judge you harshly. All of which he would like to do, but dared not. Therefore Mr. Jackson told him to go home and sleep over it ; and, having dismissed him, had a quiet laugh to himself for fifteen minutes about the folly of premature attachments, and then took a boxing lesson by way of restoring his gravity. Freddy spent another sleepless night, but the next morning he told Mr. Jackson that he - had determined to follow his advice, and received his congratulations thereon, "for plain dealing is the best way to get along, you may depend, Freddy, my boy." Oh f how Freddy's knees knocked together that morning when he asked for Helen's father ; and when closeted with him, his heart descended incontinently into his boots ; but he commenced his story, although something seemed to rise in his throat to try and prevent it ; and having once started, he presented a vivid example of " accelerated motion," for he went like liifhtening over

his love, his fears, his plan, his revocation of that plan, and ended with a burst or tears, thereby reducing the old gentleman to a state of petretaation. When he came a little to himself he made Freddy repeat his story more plainly. He was a man who, since his wife's death, had paid more attention to his business affairs than to his household ones ; but he was of a generous mind, and Freddy's candor touched him and he called Hellen up. After a long talk a compromise was determined upon. He agreed not to break off ! the match at once, (and break two loving hearts as Hellen pathetically said) upon Freddy's promising to lay aside all ideas of moonlight flitting, j without due consent. When be had dismissed the lovers, Hellen's father couldn't help being afflicted somewhat after the manner of Mr. Jackson's attack ; but he instituted a vigorous search into the source whence Hellen drew her intellectuall nourishment, and having made a grand outo-de-fe of all the novels in the house, he put. her upon a more solid course of diet. He did more; he kept a watchful eye over Freddy, and in a year offered him a vacant Clerkship in his counting room. Freddy accepted, and having a double motive for exertion, he rose fast, and five years from the never-to-be-fotgotten Wednesday of the elopement, he entered into two co-partnerships, one with Helen's father one with herself. Mr. Jackson officiated as groomsman to the latter firm, and Helen's father and herself had a quiet laugh that evening over the manner in which Freddy didn't elope. She Changed Her Mind. Tnere are some persons who are never sick without thinking themselves very much worse off than they really are. Of this class was Mrs. Hakins, a young married lady, and the mother of two fine boys. On one occasion, being visited by a fever, the consequence of imprudent exposure, she gave herself up to the melancholy fancies which usually assailed her, and persuaded herself that she was going to die. In consequence of this melancholy presentiment, she assumed so woe begone an appearance that even her medical attendant was startled in believing that she was really much worse than from her symptoms he had judged her to be. Under these circumstances he advised her to make what earthly preparations she had yet to make, while there was yet time to do so. Mrs. Haskins was an affectionate mother, and the thought of parting from the children to whom she was so warmly attached, at a time when, more than any other they needed a mother's care, was peculiarly distressing. "Their father will be kind to them, no doubt, and see that they are amply provided for, but nothing that he can do will supply to them the loss of a mother." Gradually the idea of a step-mother suggested itself to the lady's imagination, and such was her care for the happiness of her children, that she became reconciled to an idea so repugnant to most wives, and actually began to consider who among her acquaintances was best fitted to become a second Mrs. Haskins. At length her choice fell upon a Miss Parker, an intimate friend of her own. Feeling anxious to have this matter satisfactorily settled she despatched a messenger post-haste for Miss Parker who, after a brief interval, made her appearance at her friend's bedside. "My dear friend," said Mrs. Haskins, in a feeble voice, "I have sent for you for what per haps you will consider a singular reason. But, believe me, it is a mother's anxiety for her children that prompts me. 1 am very sick, and shall not live long. So the doctor tells me, and my own feelings tells me that it must be so. The situation in which I shall leave my poor boys, who will thus be deprived of a mother's watchful care, distresses me beyond measure. There is only one way in which my anxiety can be relieved, and this it is which has prompted me to send for you. Promise me that when I am gone you will marry Mr. Haskins, and be to them a second mother. Do not refuse me ; it is my last request. Desirous of comforting her friend, Miss Parker assented to her request, adding; 'I will comply with your request, and the more willingly, for I allways liked Mr. Haskins.' "Always liked Mr. Haskins?" exclaimed his dying wile, raising herself on her elbow, her feelings of conjugal jealousy for a moment overpowering maternal affection, -"you always liked my husband did you? Then I vow you shall never marry him if I have to live to prevent it." . And Mrs. Haskins did live. The revulsion of feeling resulting from Miss Parker's unexpected declaration accomplished in her case, what the skill of physicians had been unable to effect. There is an old saying, which, like most old sayings, has in it not a little truth ; that when a woman wills, she will, depend on't, and when she won't she won't and there's an end on't. So it was in the case of Mr. Haskins. She was determined, that if Mr. Haskins ever does have a second wife, it shall not be Miss Parker.

Taking a Clergyman at his Word. A

certain preacher of Universalism had been preaching in a country school-house for several successive Sabbaths, to convince the people there was no hell. At length it was announced that at the next meeting a collection would be taken for his benefit. The day arrived, and the collec tion was taken up in a hat. When the " deacon" had passed through the congregation, and given ail an opportunity to contribute, he returned to the desk and gravely emptied the contents of the hat upon the desk before the preacher. And such a " collection !" A few coppers, with old buttons, pieces of tin, broken jewsharps, horsenails, and almost every other worthless thing that a man could carry to church in his pocket 1 The preacher was thunderstruck ; but recovering his self-possission in a moment, and gazing upon the " collection" before him, exclaimed, " Well, I am not so certain whether there is a hell or not, but I am certain there ought to be one for such fellows as you are ;" and taking his hat left the house. Search, for Wives. Where do men usually discover the women who afterwards become their wives, is a question we have occasionally heard discussed, and the custom has become of value to voung lady readers. Chsnce has much to do in the affair; but then there are important governing circumstances. It is certain that few men make a selection from ball rooms or any other places of public gaiety; and nearly as few are influenced by what may be called showing off in the streets, or by any allurements of dress. Our conviction is, that ninety-nine hundredths of all the finery with which women decorate or load their persons, go for nothing, as far as husband catching is concerned. When and how, then, do men find their wives? In the quiet homes of their pareets or guardians at the fireside, where the domestic graces and feelings are alone demonstrated. These are the charms which most surly attract the high as well as the humble. Against these, all the finery and airs sink into insignificance. Marriage. This is a curious institution and has a most singular effect upon young men. One of our acquaintances who used to sport in the very latest cut of coats, the last agony in vests, and the greatest profudity in pants and hats, got- married a short time since to a very plainly dressed girl, with no money. In a month our friend was sliding down the back streets, with a corduroy cut-away, and satinet pants, while his wife was sailing around the streets in the most recent elaborations of dress, India shawl, or $50 mantilla. The inference is plan. Such is matrimony. SPECIAL NOTICE. WILLIAMSON & HAUGH, Manufacturers of Rnuorht and Cast Iron Railing, Verandahs, Bunk Vaults, Iron Doors, Shutters, Ac.
