BAGGAGE TRAIN JtSTAn unfortunate biped "out West," rejoicing in the cognomen of "Sugar," thus gives his experience in courting: "The objection ever made to ice in this ere country, as a legislator, was made by the wimin,' cause I war a batchelor, and I never told you afore why I remained in a state of number one. No feller stays single premeditated, and, in course, a bandsum feller like me, who all the gals declar to be as enticin' as a jay bird, wasn't going to stay alone if he could help it. I did see a creatur once named Sofy Mason, up the Cumberland nigh unto Nashville, Tennessee, that I took an orful hankerin' arter, and I sot into lookin' anxious for matrimony, and 1' gin to go regular to meetin', and luck to dressin' tremengeous finified, jest to see if I could win her good opinion. She did git to look at me kind of shy, jest as a hoss does at sumthin' he's scared at, when, arter champin' at a distance for a while, I sidled up to her and blurted out a few words about the sarmin'; she says yes, but cuss me ef I know whether that wur the right answer or not, and I'm thinkin' she did'nt know nuther. Well, we larfed and talked a leetle all the way long to her daddy's, and thar I giv her the best bend I had in me, and raised my bran new hat as peert and perlite as a minister, lookin all the time so enticin' that I sot the girl tremblin'. Her old daddy had a powerful numerous lot of healthy niggers, and lived right jinin' my place, while on the other side lived Jake Simson's a sneakin', cute varmint, who war wussur than a miser fur stinginess, and no sooner did this cussed sarpint see me 6idin' up to Sofy, than he .went to slickin' up too, and sot himself to work to cut me out. That ar wur a struggle ekil to the battle of Orleans. Furst sum new fixup of Jake's would take her eyei and then I'd sport somethin' that would outshine him, until at last Jake gin in trying to out-dress me, and sot thinkin' of sumthin' else. Our farms wur jest the same number of acres, and we both owned three niggers apiece. Jake new that Sofy and her dad kept a sharp look out for the main chance, so he thort he'd clar me out by buyin' another nigger; but I foller'd suit, and bought one the day after he got his, so he had no advantage thar; he then got a cow, and so did I, and jest about then both of our pusses gin out. This put Jake to his wit's eend, and I war a wunderin' what in the yearth he would do next. We stood so, hip and thigh, for about two weeks, both on us tulkin' sweet to Sofy, whenever we could get her alone. I thort I seed that Jake, the sneakin' cuss, wargettin' a mile ahead of me, cause his tongue was so iley; however, I didn't let on, but kept a top eye on him. One Sunday mornin' I were a little late to meetin', and when I got there the fust thing I seed war Jake sittin' close bang up again Sofy, in the same pew with her daddy. I biled awhile with wrath, and then turned sour I could taste . myself. Thar they wur, singin' hims out'n the same book. Jeeminy, fellers, I war so enormous mad that the new silk bandkercher around my neck lost its color. Arter meetin' war out, they walked linked arms, a smilin' and lookin' as pleased as a young couple at their first christnin', and Sofy turned her 'cold shoulder' to me so orful, that 1 wilted down and gin right up straight Jake had her, thar wur no disputin' it. I headed towards home, with my hands as fur in my trousers pockets as I could push 'em, swearin' all the way that she wur the last one that would ever git a chance to rile up my feelin's. Passin' by Jake's plantation, I looked over the fence, and there stood an explanation of the matter, right facin' the road, whar every one passin' could see it his consarned cow was tied to a stake in the gardin' with a most promisin' calf along side of her. The calf jest soured my milk, and made Sofy think that a feller who was always getin' ahead like Jake, wur a right smart chance for a lively husljand.' A shout of laughter here drowned Sugar's voice. As soon as silence was restored, he added, in a solemn voice, with one eye shut, and his fore finger pointed at his auditor: 'What was a cussed sight wusser than his gittin' Sofy was the fact, that he borrowed the calf the night before of Dick Harley! After the varmint got Sofy hitched; he told the joke all over the settlement, and the boys never seed me afterwards that they didn't b-a-h at me for lettin' a calf cut , me out of a gal's affection. ' I'd shot Jake, but I thort it wur a tree country, and the gal bad a right to choose without bein' made a widdoer, so I jest sold out and traveled. I've always .thort since then, boys, wimin wur a good deal like licker ef you love 'em too hard, thar sure to throw you some way.' Extravagance. A cotemporary who is somewhat posted in satin and statistics, talks as follows: "While the business men of America proverbially live poorer, dress shabbier, work harder, and many more hours, than in any other country in the world, their wives and daughters are ten times more idle, more extravagant and more useless." ' ' It strikes us that there is some truth in that extract. Mr. Brocha, of the house of Brocha, Buckram & Co., toils from twelve to sixteen hours per day. Brocha last year made$22,000. What became of it. Ten thousand dollars of the same were spent by Mrs. Brocha for new furniture, to "spite the Maxwells," while a large portion of the balance was expended on Blanche and Sarah, so that they might go to Newport and "show the Fantadlings," that there were other diamonds in New York besides those which were inherited from a great grandfather, who found in India a princely fortune and a diseased liver. Brocha has been in business since 1840. People who have never been in his parlor or kitchen imagine that Brocha is worth a quarter of a million of dollars, while those who have been in wonder how he dodges sheriffs. Brocha is still toiling, and is still making money, and yet, if he should die to-morrow, it is questionable whether his assets would equal his liabilities. Brocha will probably end his days by testing the virtue of a shilling's worth of strychnine. Should we be oae of the jurors who sit. upon the body, we would bring in the following verdict: Died from the visitation of an extravagant wife and two senseless daughters. " Would you like to subscribe for Dickens' Household Words ?" inquired a sombre-looking magazine agent. " Household words have played the dickens with me long enough !" was the feeling reply of the henpecked husband. .

"The Thunderer' on the Maine Law." The London Times, of June 1st, has a leading article of a column in length in regard to the proposed introduction of thb Maine law into England. We have room for only the following extracts: Good intentions without judgment have occasioned considerable mischief ere this, and are likely to be the cause of more, if we may judge from the report of the temperance meeting held the day before yesterday at Exeter Hall. It is far from our thought to cast any ridicule upon the chief actbr in the scene. We give them credit for the very purest motives, however Quixotic may be the undertaking in which they have engaged. This is nothing less than the suppression throughout the United Kingdom of the sale of fermented liquors in any shape. They wish to introduce into the islands the provisions of the measure which is known in the United States of America of the "Maine Liquor Law." Now, the attempt to fly in the face of human nature on questions of this kind is simply idle. It is one thing to introduce a slight modification in the sale of intoxicating drinks, and quite another to aim at a total suppression of it by a prohibitory law. There is a great improvement in English society in regard to temperance. Thirty years ago gentlemen habitually staggered home from dinner parties in a condition which would expose any of their decendants to universal and welldeserved contempt. The improvment has pervaded, more or less, all degrees of society, although we are far from denying that drunkenness is still the fruitful cause of crime. The question only is how to deal with it? It is by a combination of remedies, and not by any single remedy, that the desirable result will be obtained. The idea of dealing with a bad habit by endervoring to remove the means of its indulgence, with out the power of doing so, is certainly the most clumsy and preposterous that ever crossed the human mind. With regard to this enforced temperance movement, we can hav no hesitation whatever in saying that it is entirely opposed to the genius and wishes of the English people, is visionary in conception, and impossible of execution. We believe, as well as our Exeter Hall cousin, that intemperance is the fruitful parent of vice. We think temperance should and must be promoted by all practical means. For a remedy we look for the spread of religion, education, and the thousand wholesome influences of an increasing civilization not to declamation, nor to dreams.

Love, Babies, and Butchers' Bills. There is probably no business in which common sense is less heeded than in that of love. The moment a girl begins to think of "orange blossoms," that moment she bids farewell to reason, and plunges into a sort of a lunacy, from which all the eloquence in the world cannot extricate her. Driving a baulky horse is a pleasant business, ! and so is the attempt to wean ajackass from thistles. But what are baulky horses and jackasses compared to the "stakiness" of a girl who has "got the devil in her head," because a young gentleman with hollow cheeks and bright blue contin uations, gets upon the cellar door every night, and pours his love into her ear through the medium of a four-and-nine-penny flute? Nothing absolutely nothing! Difficult as it is for a fresh cod to climb a greased liberty pole, with a kicking boy in its mouth, we should much sooner go about to look for such a phenomenon, than to hunt up a girl with an inflamed heart that would listen to "good advice," or who could be made to believe, for one moment, that the enjoyments of the hymenial life depended at all on the frequency of bread, or the price of butcher's meat. Even prodigals have not so hearty a contempt for money as have those whom Cupid has inoculated with the virus of "beatific lunacy." As they have no appetites while they are courting, they imagine that their demands for corned beef and cabbage will always find a substitute in sighs and huggings. How they deceive themselves! Although love is a boy of limited appetite, Hyman takes to roast beef like an Alderman. But even grant that marriage, like ' courtship, conld feed on flutes and fatten on a nosegay, how will it be with the Harriets, Peters, Johns, and Matilda Janes that are fated to spring from it? Will they, think you, feed on air, and rest satisfied with sugared endearments? Far from it. Children have no respect for the poetics of life, and much prefer a pantry full of pies to all the velvet sentiments that even Moore's Melodies abound with. These remarks we know, will be termed "shocking"- by many a fair reader but shocking as they are, they are true, as scores of them will discover when it is too late to heed the admonitions which they contain. No state in life has more uses for a fat pocket book than Marriage. Albany Dutchman. The Enriched Woman. For some short time past a circumstance that appeared very strange, has attracted my attention. I dare say you remember my speaking to you of a house covered with thatch, of the thatch covered with moss, of the ridge of the roof crowned with iris, which was to be seen from a certain point in my garden. Well for several days I perceived the house was shut up, and I asked my servant, "Does not the woodman live up yonder, now?" "No sir, he has been gone nearly two months. He has become rich; he has inherited a property of six hundred livres a-year, and is gone to live in town." He is become rich! that is to say, that with his six hundred livres a-year he has gone to live in a little apartment in the city, without air and without sun, where he can neither see the Heavens, nor the trees, nor the verdure, where he will breathe unwholesome air; where his prospect will be confined to a paper of dirty yellow, embellished with chocolate arbesques. He is become rich! He is become rich! That is to say, he is not allowed to keep his dog, which he had so long, because it annoyed the other lodgers of the house. He lodges in a square box; he has people on the right and on the left; above him and below him. He has left his beautiful cottage, and his beautiful trees, and his sun, and his grass carpet so green, and the song of the birds, and the oder of the oaks. He is become rich! He is become rich! Poor man! A Tour Round my Garden. The Finger Ring1. The idea of wearing rings on the fourth finger of the left hand, because of a supposed artery there which went to the heart, was carried so far that, according to Levinus Leminus, this finger was called Medicus; and the old physicians would stir up their medicaments and potions with it, because no venom could stick upon the very utmost part of it, but it would offend a man and communicate itself to the heart. It is said by Swidburn and others, that therefore it became the weding-finger. The priesthood kept up this idea by still keeping it as the weding-hn-ger; but it was got at through the use of the lnnity, for in the ancient ritual of JiDglish marriages, the ring was placed on the top of the thumb of the left hand, with the words, 'In the name of the Father;' he then removed it to the fore-finger, saying, 'In the name of the Son:' then to the middle finger, adding, 'And of the Holy Ghost;' finally, he left it, as now, on the fourth finger, with the closing word 'Amen.'

A CLOSE SHAVE. Acting on the instructions I received from the landlord of the Burnet House, I took an omnibus to a place about a mile from Spring Grove, where buggies were awaiting to convey parties to the cemetery. "Here, Tom,"' said the driver, at whose side I was seated, "take this man to the cemetery, and bring him back at seven for the last 'buss." These words were addressed to a youth in charge of a buggy, who replied by nodding assent, and discharging a cataract of brown saliva among a lot of hens. As there was no time to lose, I was soon en route, "Tom" urging his horse at the top of his speed. I am not a nervous man, so, although we went at a breakneck rate, careering over stones and through deep ruts, I made no remonstrance, having faith in the springs. But when, on turning a corner, we came suddenly in sight of a board, with the well known notice "Look oat for the locomotive when the bell rings!" which was made more impressive by hearing the signal, and seeing the line of steam announcing the proximity of a train, I was somewhat anxious, as my driver did not manifest the slightest disposition to stop. As usual, the road and railway crossed on the same level, which did not lessen my anxiety. "Hold hard 1 stop! stop!" I cried; and as these words received no attention, I rose from my seat and grasped the driver's arm, for the purpose of arresting our progress; but in vain. Lashing the horse with redoubled energy, he replied to my entreaties to stop, by the assurance he would go ahead of the en-gine; and to my horror, on we went, buggy and train approaching rapidly at right angles; the locomotive's bell meanwhile ringing furiously what seemed to be my death knell. Finding all my efforts to avert an anticipated collision were futile, I resumed my seat, and resigned myself to my fate. What I did or said during the next few moments' I know not; but I remember a feeling of sickness came over me as we dashed across the line, and I beheld the iron-horse rushing onward, and almost felt the hot blasts of its steam jets. . "There, I told you I'd clear the darn'd thing," said my driver, chuckling over the achievement; "but 'twas a close shave." Weld's Vacation Tour in the U. S. and Canada. '

PROFESSOR WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE. TWy HIS Prepration. although less than Two Years before theI public, owing to its wonderful ed'ect unou the human hair and scalp, has already obtained a celebrity and sale perfectly unparalleled. . It has, without the ordiuary appliance used for such purposes, won its way and been heartily welcomed to most of the cities and towns in the United States, the Canadas and the West India Islands. Nor is this result surprising, when ft is remembered that its popularity is based upon its merits, solelv, as established by actual teets. That this preparation will actually RESTORE GREY HAIR TO ITS NATURAL COLOR, produce a luxuriant growth upon the heads of the bald, prevent the hair from falling off, and, when used as a toilet article, produce a contiuual flow of the natural fluids, and thus render the hair sou, glossy and wavy, distroy diseases of the scalp, and expel dandrulf, the certificates of distinguished -gentlemen and ladies, in every part of the country, who have tried it, and thorefore speak what they know, most fully attest. That by a proper use of this Restorative, the hair can be made to attain and retain its nalutul color to almostauv aee allotted to humanity, by removing the cause of diseases from the scalp no matter of how longstanding the concurrent testimonials of the press and the certificates of numerous respectable individuals of both sexes, leave no doubt.
