HOME MUSINGS. : BIT FRANK FBEEHAHT. l ! Ha, ha! If ever there was a happy dog, I am he. Not a soul to trouble, molest, or make me afraid. 'Well, after all,' I don't see that this lit: tie world is such a bad world ! Plenty complain; but rather guess it would bother them to better it ! ( Guess that's a Yankey word, I reckon.) There is a dim poetical thought" flitting across my brain, which expresses exactly my sentiments Let's see perhaps I can" scratch it up. :; Wake tip, old Morpheous, devoted bump of thinkativeness. Well, let's see pshaw'!' that will 'never do that's the way old women commence their stories. Ah, I have it no O yes, it commences, or mayhap ends; "This world is not so bad a world ' ' ' As some would like to make it; But whether good, or whether bad, Depends on how you take it." '. I Isn't that sublime? What a fund of philosophy stowed into verse ! To be surej it depends on how you take it, or whether you take it at all or not. Now,; L take it, : myself take it as it comes the great little world and I are most in-1' timate friends: move along together finely;' I take' it by the hand as though I thought the world and all of it, (that's the way friends do, you know,) when in reality 1 don't care a fig for it, nor it for me. No love lost, you see; and "that's a good thing, for there is so little of it that we cannot afford to part with it it should never be lost. I said I took the world. ' Some are not willing to take it, but kick like a Jack against the bricks ' rebel and growl like' a bear with a ' sore head !' Bnt what's the use?'' They might as well take it peaoeably; for if the"y don't, it will surely take them ! They are in it, : and must take or be taken, rebel as they may,' 'And why not take it humbly, and be thankful, as good children ought to? (I must scratch out good, 'and ' insert all, for who ever heard of good children?) '. But that is Wandering who wants to think about cildren? the little, mischief makers, and furniture breakers ! Well, God bless them, the little, pests if it was not for the little ones, I suspect there'd be no big ones, soon! : But I was talking- about ' takinsr the world peaceably. Mankind are like oxen (present company excluded) with a little sook 1 sook ! so, Bl ight ! and the presenting a fair hand and winning face, they allow the yoke to be put on : their necks, and ihen, oh, dear, it's all up with, them. They are very proud for a lime, however; think it quite an ornament; strut round as "big as bull beef," until the load is attached, -and it begins to pull heavy; then they kick and squirm, and bawl and blate; but it's no use, fori they are "done hitched up," and the more it; galls, the harder hey must pull, till the spirit of resistance is pulled out cf them; ; and then they murmur what a hard world this is nothing but. trouble, trouble, here below.. Poor souls ! seem to think it's decreed for all to wear yokes, and pull heavy burdens ! But if they .'.will put the yoke on, let the world take them; they must' wear it, and be submissive to the old tyrant's decrees. But for me, I take the world as it comes, keep my neck from under the yoke, and find it smoothe enough, large enough, beautiful enough, happy enough, round enough, straight enough, and good enough for any son of the dust. All there is to do. is to take it; be independent, cheerful, and industrious. Serve yourself and you will need to serve no others 1 Avoid the yoke !- Don't let the world take you. Just look at Charley ! I know Charley well; a better hearted fellow never lived old cronies pretty good looking goes to College at about eighteen studies well; beats them all; graduates with honors, at twenty-one; comesforth into the world educated. (So they say don't believe a word of it.) Well, he goes into company; very fond of female 'company, but thinks them all angels, too good to have much to do with h;m; all right',' suspect no harm; meets Miss Sweet, a most charming creature; 'can't talk of anything else; fear he is going;' warn him of his danger; don't intend to get married, Oh no!, got too much to do; can't afford it; advise him to make more variety in his selections of company, and not go to all the balls and parties,' and theatres, and concerts, with this identical Miss Sweet; but she is such an angel; no person can interest him like she "can ! such a fine, generous girl ! Charlie's gone. People begin to make the match for him have him married, behind his back'.' Charley begins to think it lonely to live alone don't consider me company any more! don't

n

enjoy himself at all those great parties, where there are so many would like to be more select. Begins to think that to get business a man must settle down in life. Wants a home; thinks it so exquisite to have a dear little creature te love and care for him; and how sweet they would all be, in a sweet little home, with a sweet little wife, and sweet children. Swears upon his honor that a single man does not live, only stays; knows nothing of the joys of life. I warn him of the position he is in; hint of his former resolves; tell him of the cares and anxieties of weded life; think perhaps he is not prepared, better not be in too big a hurry, plenty of time yet; think he might see another Miss Sweet, who would be better suited for him; but to no purpose;" says he was foolish to make foolish resolves; did not then know what the world was, or that it possessed such a treasure; could not think of losing her; never find such another ! I hint that the yoke

may gall; thinks that impossible 1 Miss Sweet becomes more bewitching every day. thinks their love can never wane. . Teetotally gone-r-in-tatuated ! lhesooking has been done,' the fair hand and smiling face presented so, Bright! and the yoke is fairly on his neck placed his own head in the bow ! 1 can t forget it: how proud, he was ! How his eyes sparkled ! How he loved to look upon the creature beside him ! How she leaned upon his arm, and how erect he stood ! , How noble he was, and how happy he seemed to be ! . Years have passed since then long years work wondrous changes but it is all betore me now, and how 1 almost rebuked myself for my scepticism. But he had done taking the world; the world had taken him. . Henceforth he must live for the world, and not the world for him. Women are the embodiment of the world, (and you know they say the world is wicked.) ; ;f,., I was now left alone. Seldom saw Charley; he was very proud; said I was a fool; all women were angels, but his wife m particular. .. I sigh ed, stuck one foot on the chair-back, and hoped it might prove so ! More than half envied him; began to wonder whether, after all, the world was not taking , me all this time?, I saw him at Church; they walked together; so nicely; sit , so snugly in a pew to themselves; his step was so light, and most of all, his bride so beautiful. I I thought I was very lonesome; more so than I had ever been in my life before. He cei tainly was the happiest man I had ever seen. My scepticism began to tremble. And he had such glorious hopes : for the future. Honeymoon, honey-moon, says I, Charley; it won't last always. Always, he said, Frank, always; as long as life; and then, we will love in Eterni ty ! O dear ! ,. Such is hope, in the heart of youth and inexperience ! It could not be; it was too good to last long; but I ; hoped not, for Charley's sake. Scepticism strong. , Years have flown since then; time has rolled rapidly on, and so has care and trouble. I met him the other day I scarcely knew him his color had gone, his cheeks were sunken and pale, his eyes shone with a preternatural lustre, and he was bowed with the burden of grief. I stopped to shake hands; he was cold and distant. I ask ed him how the world used him? Hard enough it was a hard world to live in ! . We are doomed to trials, troubles and vexations on earth, but I hope and he pointed upward, as a tear" stole from beneath the downcast lash ! I pressed his hand warmly, and asked him how it' all was? but he felt too much to talk much. The yoke, had galled, the burden had been heavy, and he had pulled till his spirit was broken. Children three had he followed to their last cold home 1 Where love once flowed, now passed a gulf of insufferable coldness. His Angel had changed from one of light to one of darkness. ; But he; said he believed now she was no more than human:, subject to the frailties of human , nature generally. Women, after all, he said,, are something like other human beings; . The world had taken him! It was sad to see so great a change. His dejected look and hopeless voice played hard upon my feelings. I brushed away the silent tear and prayed for strength to take the world ! Any one individual has sins and shortcomings enough of his own; he should - not yoke them to those of another. Put two cats in a bag and they will scratch out each other's eyes. , , Women are good company are necessary to the completeness of this terestrial sphere. . I love them all, but they are no better than men, and I would not bind myself for life to the best man ever lived 1 When any one individual makes himself a slave to another, male'or female, they are surely both in a fair way to be miserable. , Love all, be slave to none. , Be independent, take the world as it comes, and you'll surely find that after all this world is not so bad a world as some would like to make it. , . , : To Ministers of the Gospel. Six dollars per day for ministers at West Union I would respectfully suggest to ministers of our church an occasional Sabbath or week day that we do think hard that we have to pay A. H. six dollars per day for preaching the gospel to the public, on Sabbath days and no other. We have been very hard run to pay for our church and still in debt. We do invite some good honest persevering Minister, to call at West Union Baptist Church, four miles north west from Indianapolis, close to Daniel Landrey's.'and we would be glad to have one as reasonable as possible, till we get but of debt. ' We dont want the Church Members to fall back into sin. ' We have been badly treated in regard to Preachers here for the past two years. . Elder M. H. was deceived in Charles S. He was our preacher till the officers of Indianapolis put him in irons and started him to New York for perjury. Elder M. H. is still calling on West Union to help support broken down Ministers when she is not able to support herself.. I do not think we ought to be imposed upon so. ' ' ,; '. "' ' J. II. : From the Washington Union, July 15th. American Officers in the Crimea. The statement going the rounds of the newspapers that the three officers of the American army, dispatched to the Crimea by the President, for the purpose of observing the improvements in the military sciences; have, been refused the necessary sanction of the Russion Government, is a mali-. cious fabrication.' A private letter from a friend by the last steamer, assures us that the three officers alluded to (Major Delafield, Captain Mordecai and Captain McCliIlen) had been received with distinguished honor by the representatives of the Czar Alexander so far as they had ad vanced, at last accounts. On their arrival at Berlin they were welcomed and entertained by the Russian Minister in the most cordial manner, and when they reached Warsaw, Prince Paskiewitch . greeted . them with splendid hospitality. He gave ihem a grand review of the troops, and ordered an engineer officer to show them the fortifications, &c. . . They had been offered a choice between an invitation from the Emperor, first, to visit the Rus sian Capital, St. Petersburg, or to.be expressed to the Crimea. They have accepted the first and have arrived at St. Petersburg, and have, doubtless, received before this time, such facilities for the prosecution of their object as the Emperor only can give This country is under great obli-

gations to the Russian Government and its officers for their great kindness and consideration to our officers treatment which stands in such bold relief when contrasted with the cold, cautious and suspicious conduct of the allies, that we deem it worthy of special notice." The whole story im

plying a different policy towards the American officers on the part of Russia, is the fabrication either of some European penny-a-liner, or of the New York Herald, and we only wonder that even malignity should mislead men to invent falshoods that can be so easily and triumphantly contradicted SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1855. jrj'Saturdayisthe day of publication of the Locomotive when it will alwaysbcroadyfor subscribers.

The receipts from the road for 10 months ending July 1, was $125,126, 25, and the expenses for tho same time $17,921 81 showing the cost of running the road to b(i about 40 per cent, of the gross earnings.

i3For about a year the New York Railroad

Journal has been endeavoring, by every means in its power, to injure the sale of the bonds of the Evansville and Indianapolis Railroad Company, based on real estate security, for the reason that the managers of that road would not make it to the interest of that paper to favor the road. It makes an article of ours, mentioning the fact that two prominent capitalists had passed over the line of the road, and examined it, the termini at both ends, and the mineral resources along the line, the pretext for a slur at our paper, and a personal attack on Hon. 0. H. Smith, the President of the road. Mr. Smith has already shown the editor of this journal to the public in no enviable light, Jtnd we leave that part of the article to him, and will merely say, for ourselves, that we are not so "needy" as to let our columns to any one that will pay for their use to misrepresent a public improvement,' or mislead our readers, nor are we so '.'needy" as to denounce and vilify those that refuse to be bled in this way we are not in the market, like that journal. We are not so "needy" but that we can pay' our honest debts, and make an honest living. We would most respectfully ask the editor of , the Railroad Journal, in what way are we !"needy"? Give us the evidence of our being a "needy concern." We want to know it, if it is so. '. ." In regard to pur "insignificance," the size of a sheet does not always denote, either its usefulness or influence, and our circulation is evidence enoue-h for us on that point. 'If the Journal thought 'us , so "insignificant," .'we wonder it should write us., private, letters, endeavoring to convince us that its attacks on the road, and Mr. Smith, were correct, and urging us to correct them; but we have before stated that the statements of that journal were gross misrepresentations, and this has been fully proved to the railroad public. ; . , It ' ! I , Coliurn's Railroad Advocate, a leading and widely circulated Railroad journal, of Jfew York, has the following notice of the article referred tp, which we copy entire:- j . . : r .. . , . . Evansville, Indianapolis and . Cleveland Railroad. The Railroad Journal of last week indulges in a sneer of two columns upon the fact that the real estate owned by the above road, and pledged as security for an issue of $250,000 of its bonds,- has been lately examined and certified by two well known eastern capitalists. The Journal also goes out of its way to bestow a kick upon a leading Indianapolis, paper,' which first published the fact of the examination, calling it "an , insignificant : and needy . concern." .: If it would help to place the Journal's slur in a better light, we will say that the paper referred to has the Indianapolis Post Office advertising, by virtue of having the grqatest circulation of all the papers of that city, while . the Railroad Journal, with all the poverty implied in its editorial name, is just now sadly "insignificant" in influence, and especially "needy" in substance, sincerity and support. .The publishers of that paper may be thankful, in their own "insignificance", and "need," that such qualities only have saved them from a legal retaliation on the part of the officers of the above road, a road which none but the Journal have ever attacked. : But, without wantonly aggravating the present distress of the Journal, we will look at the real points involved in the question of the solvency of the real estate bonds now under notice. : The Evansville, Indianapolis and Cleveland Railroad Company profess to own, among other lots,' certain tracts of land of a cash valuation of over $250,000. Upon these lands, as security, they have issued bonds to the above amount. These bonds have no claim on the road,, nor will any earnings or reserved funds arising outof the road itself, be used in their payment.,' In any default of payment of principaror interest of the real estate bonds, the holders will have recourse only to the security covered by their particular mortgage, the entire proceeds of any sales of these lands, being of course reserved towards their rer demption. ; : ' But the Railroad Journal once made a formal charge that these bonds were only "promises to pay," a statement implying that they had no security. Giving the Journal, then, credit for some supposed misunderstanding of the case, and credit also, for whatever influence it might have for good or evil, the officers of the road first invited the editor of the Journal to visit the lands, at theiri private expense, - and to examine the titles for himself. This he refused to do. " They then requested two well known capitalists to make the examination, which they" have done. Al though no report has been made, the officers of the road now refer to these gentlemen for information concerning the lands. ' : : i : The gist of nil 'the Journal now says, is that, had the road in question been in good financial condition tliere would have been no need of this examination. . It confounds the necessity of such condition with the means of proving it. .It was precisely to prove, the soundness of the financial condition of the road, in respect to its real estate bonds, that the examination was made. It was to establish what the Journal only' had ever denied, the possession ind value of lands ample to meet these bonds. It may flatter the vanity of the Journal that it should, of all others, have furnished the occasion of such proof, but independent of its attacks, we think the public will look upon the course taken as entirely judicious. Presuming a bint to be as good as a kick in such case, we may merely say that the Journal's course is instigated by the interest in the Terre Haute lines. That accounts for the motives of its attacks. ' It is pledged to continue them, and will, as it has, evade every attempt to meet it in fair argument. , H will next plead its own insig nificance as a reason why its attacks should not have been heeded. But. we have a few words to oppose to its dishonesty and evasion. ' It has sought to involve the success of a road, and the character of its management, in a question of the mere existence and value of alotot lands.. Ihe road proposes to raise money, and offers certain lands at their present value as security. Now whether the road is even built, or not, whether the money raised is expended in railroad iron, or in polonizing Kansas, or lobbying at Washington, makes not one farthing's odds to the holders of the real estate bonds. In .no case can they look to any other security than the lands as they now are, and their possession and value being proved, the question of the solvency of the bonds is settled. . . , .' ' Now we ask the hireling who is trying to obscure the real question, by; what right does he seek to prevent the sale (for it is virtually a sale) of real estate, already owned by any railroad company or individual? . A just analysis of this question would make him liable, and would convict him, in a heavy libel suit,. Is he, then, because of his poverty, to be suffered to continue

his attacks because the expenses of a suit, decided against him, would have to be borne by the plaintiffs? We shall see how long such an . immunity will protect him. Securing Wheat. We copy the following excellent suggestions in relation to securing the wheat injured by the late wet weather, from the editorial correspondence of the State Sentinel. It is worthy the attention and consideration of our farmer readers. "We, the people of the wheat-growing West, have this season, been afforded an experience similar to that of our brethren over the waters. While we may, therefore, the " more sincerely sympathise with them, in an evil which surrounds them every season,, it is our duty also to take the advantage, .and reap the fruits of their experience as far as it is possible for us to do so. In this latitude there is some wheat yet standing,

and much in the shock which is very materially; injured by its unfortunate exposure. : i It is prob able that in ; every hundred bushels threshed, there . could be found from one to five bushels of grains that have commenced the germinating process One bushel of heated wheat,' scattered through a hundred bushels of an article perfectly sound, will diminish the value of the entire quantity at least ten per cent, rutting the price of wheat, then, upon the farm where it; is grown, at one dollar to the bushel, and we find that the producer could equally as well afford to throw away ten bushels out of every hundred of his crop as to permit one bushel of injured wheat to be mixed with a hundred that is sound.' I would like to impress this fact, for fact it is, forcibly upon the consideration of the farmers of In-" diana. Let them by all means separate with the greatest possible care, previous to threshing, every sheaf that is grown from the sound grain. Very much money- will be saved directly by such a course, and in addition to this, ourcreditin the New York market as a wheat producing State would be fairly maintained." :' ' '.;.;" .. , ' In this connection we will merely mention that the heavy charges brought against us, and the terrible penalty recommended, by a correspondent of the Republican,' for our word of caution last week to Farmers, not to be too hasty in disposing of their wheat, only convinces us that there was good cause for our suggestions, particularly as we believe the correspondent alluded to is a wheat speculator. There is a combined and systematic effort to bring the price of wheat down below what the demand and supply would warrant, for the emolument of .speculators, millers, and others engaged in the trade, and their efforts are not to benefit the' moderate consumer,' but themselves. " We would rather the Farmer would get "any advantage that a change, if it should come, may produce, than the wheat broker, and we shall not hesitate, at all times, to point out any way likely to secure it for them.
