BAGGAGE TRAIN.

:-.0.vr.Kr.The following is published in one of our leading religious papers, where it is endorsed as a "true fact;" and the editor of the paper requests his readers to send him more of the same: 'In the year J 831 a great excitement prevailed in the western part of the State of New York, on the subject of religion, and 'protracted meetings' were very common, and often attended by very extraordinary scenes. A celebrated Baptist traveling preacher, called an 'Evangelist,' wished to hold a meeting of some days in a church that was owned in common by a Methodist and a Presbyterian congregation, who occupied it by turns. They consented, upon his pledging himself not to preach on the subject of Baptism, but to leave all converts to join whatever church they pleased. He kept his word, went on with the meeting, had great success, and as his time drew to a close, he gave notice that he would preach a sermon to the young converts, of whom he reckoned more than half a hundred. The house was crowded when the sermon was to be delivered, and the Methodist and Presbyterian preachers were both in the pulpit by the side of their Baptist brother, who faithfully kept his word while he discoursed from the words of his Master, Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you.' After he had concluded his sermon, he struck up a lively old camp-meeting tune, and sung the following impromptu words with as much ease as if it was one of Watt's, the converts joining in the corus: "Come all ye loving Christians, Who feel the sacred tire, Obey the truth to-day, And prove the devil a liar And to glory we will go, and to, etc. "I had rather be a Baptist, And have a shining face. Than to be a Methodist, And always fall from grace. And to glory we will go, etc. "I had rather be a Baptist, And despised every hour, Than a Presbyterian, And never have the power. And to glory we will go, etc. "If sprinkling is convenient, It has no claim to truth; It may be good for babies, But will not do for youth. And to glory we will go, And to glory we will go, and go and go, And to glory we will go. "In conclusion, it is needless to say fifty-three persons related their experience, and were baptized according to the mode proposed by the preacher." Harper's Magazine. The Yankee Horse Jockey. Here is Sam Slick's last, and one of his very best: "I shall never forget a rise I once took out of a set of jockies at Albany. I had an everlastin' fast Narraganset pacer once to Slickvillc. I was considerable proud of him, I do assure you, for he took a rag off the bush in great style. Well, our stable help, Pat Monorrhan (him I used to call Mr. Monoghan,) would stuff him with fresh clover without me knowing it, and, as sure as rales, I broke his wind in driving him too fast. It trave him the 'heaves ' that is, it made his flanks heave like a blacsmith's bellows. We call it 'heaves,' Britishers call it 'broken wind.' Well, there is no cure for it, though some folks tell vou a hornet's nest, cut up fine, and put in their meal will do it; and others say sift the oats clean, and give them juniper berries in it, and that will do it, or ground ginger, or tar, or what not: but these are all quackeries. You can't cure it, for its a rupture of an air-vessel, and vou can't get at it to sew it up. But you can fix it up by diet, and care, and proper usage, so that you can deceive even an old hand, providin you don't let him ride or drive the beast too fast. "Well, I doctored and worked with him so, the most that could be perceived was a slight cold.nothin' to mind, much less to frighten you. And when I got him up to the notch, 1 advertised him for sale, as belonging to a person going East, who only parted with him because he thought him too heav?y for a man who never travels less than a mile in two minutes and twen-' ty seconds. Well, he was sold at auction, and knocked down to Rip Van Dam, the attorneygeneral, for five hundred dollars; and the owner put a bridle and saddle on him, and took a bet of two hundred dollars with me he could do a mile in two minutes fifty seconds. He didn't know me from Adam, parsonly, at the time, but he had heard of me, and bought the horse because it was said Sam Slick owned him. ,. "Well, he started off, and lost his bet; for when he got near the winnin' post the horse choked, fell, and pitched the rider off half-way to Troy, and nearly died himself. The umpire handed me the money, and I dug out for the steamboat, intendin' to pull foot for home. Just as I reached the wharf, I heard my name called out; but I didn't let on I noticed it, and walked ahead. Presently Van Dam seized me by the 1 shoulder, quite out of breath, puffin andblowin' like a porpoise. " 'Mr. Slick,' said he. " 'Yes,' says I, .'what's left of me; but, good gracious,' says I, 'you have got the 'heaves.' I hope it ain't catchin'. " 'No I havn't, said he, 'but your cussed hoss lias, and nearly broke my neck. You are like all the Connecticut men I ever see, a nasty, mean, long-necked, long-legged, narrow-chested, slab-sided, narrow-souled, lantern-jawed Yankee cheat' " 'Well, sais I, 'that's a considerable of along name to write on the back of a letter, ain't it? It ain't good to use such a swad of words, it's no wonder you have the heaves; but I'll cure you; I warn't brought up to wranglin'; I hain't time to fight you, and besides,' said I, 'you are broken-winded; but I'll heave you over the wharf to cool you, boots and all, by gravy!' " 'Didn't you advertise,' said he, 'that the only reason you had to part with that horse was, that lie was too heavy for a man who never traveled slower than a mile in two minutes and twenty seconds.' . " 'Never,' sais I, 'I never said such a word. What will you bet I did?' " 'Fifty-dollars,' said he- " 'Done,' said I. And Vanderbilt (he was just going on board the steamer at the time) .

'Vanderbilt,' sais I, 'hold these stakes, friend,' sais I; 'I won't say you lie, but you talk uncommonly like the way I do when I lie. i Now prove it.' , "And he pulled out one of my printed advertisements, and said 'read that.' "Well, I read it. 'It ain't there,' said I. " 'Ain't it?' said he. 'I leave it to Vanderbilt.' " 'Mr. Slick,' said he, 'you have lost it is here.' " 'Will you bet fifty dollars,' said I, though you have seen it, that it's there?' " 'Yes,' said he, 'I will. " 'Done,' said I. 'Now how do you spell heavy?, H-o.ii.v-v- said he.

" 'Exactly,' sais I; 'so do I, heav-eu. I did it on purpose. But this is spelt I scorn to take a man in about a horse, so I published his defect to all the world. .1 said he was too heavey for harness, and so he is. He ain't worth fifty dol lars. I wouldn't take him as a gift he ain't worth Don dam. " 'Well, I did see that,' said be, 'but I thought it was an error of the press,- or that the . owner could n t spell. " 'Oh !' sais I, don't take me for one of your Dutch boors, I beg of you. I can spell, but you can't read, that's all. You remind me,' says I, 'of a feller in Slickville, when the six-cent letterstamps come into fashion. He licked the stamp so hard he took all the gum off, and it wouldnt stay on no how he could fix it, so that what does he do but put a pin through it and writes on the letter, "raid, and it the darned thing will only stick.1' Now if you go and lick the stamp eternally that way, folks will put a pin through it, and the story will stick to you forever and ev er. But come on board, and let s liquor, and I will 6tand treat. "I felt sorry for the poor critter, and told him how to feed the horse, and advised him to take him to Saratoga, advertise him, and si'll him the same way; and he did, and got rid of him. The rise raised his character as a lawyer amazing. He was elected governor next year." Mosquitoes. Mr. Schmidt, a very inoffensiveappearing German, said that he occupied the next room to Mr. Backsteinhaus and was very much disturbed during the night by Mr. B. who was continually talking loudly to himself, walking the room heavily, opening and shutting his window, &c. Suddenly the door opening into his room from the room of Mr. B. was burst open and Mr. B-fell heavily upon him on his bed. In the confusion that followed in the dark they got into a fight, which was finally ended by the arrival of the proprietor as stated. Judge Mr. Back , ( whatever your name is, I can't pronounce it,) what have you to say relative to this charge? Mr. B. Vat have I got to say? Veil, I have got more as a little to zay about 'dem, and I dells you all de dings vat I know. Yesterday afternoon I come in de steamboat from Philadelphia, vere I have lived since I come to dis country; I brings mit me a koople ov letters for introduction to beeples in New York; but it vas late and I vas tired, so I dinks dat I betther go to a k'osthaus and vait till de morning. I finds de bouse and have mine drinks bring mit me; de rooms dat dey gives to me vas right over de blace vere dey cooks de dings vat dey eats, and it makes me very warm. I opens de vindows to get some air, (lakes of mine goat, vest and banlloons and all my clothes and goes to mine bed; I liesnotlong on de bed ven I hears de mosgeedoes sing by me; soon dey stings me in my face and on mine body; I gels up and shuts de vindow, and lies down again to shleep, but be room gets so varm I cannot live in dem, and I goes and opens de vindow again; de mosgeedoes, dey comes den more as dey comes and dey sittings me as vorse. I get vay from de bed and valk de floor, but de mosgeedoes dey shting yust de same. So soon as I shlap von on my face I feels von shting on mine leg, and ven I shlap dat von, I feels anocer von sluing mine pelly. Ven I kills dat von I shlap von on mine foot, den on mine arm, den mine face, mine leg, mine breast, and den I feels dem on de bottom from mine back and all de blaces. Yust den some berson say in de halt if I bin sick. I say no, and gives dem short vords, for mine shkin shmaits so bad. Yust den I dinks dat I can make de mosgeedoes keep vay from me. I goes to de vash table vets de soap and puts soap all on mine body over, so much as I can. I lays mineself again on de beds and dinks de mosgeedoes ven dey comes on me and taste de soap vill fly vay. I lay so shtill as I can and ven I bin yust go to shleep I feels the mosgeedoes shting me and dey shting vorse and vorse all de time till I yump from mine bed and vonce more I shlap but de more I shlaps de more I finds mineself shting. Den I lights a lamp and look on mine body and finds dat de moskeetoes dey stick to de soap and can't get off. Den I vash myself mit vater and feels better. I lays on de beds and de mosgeetoes again bites me. 1 valk all in de rooms, I feels so bad I dinks I go crazy. Den I puts on mine shirt and yust ven I go to puts on my bantloons I fall on de door.

Den de oder man he comes mit a bohce man and dey brings me to de shtation house, and dat's all de dings vot I knows about dem. J udge Certainly, Mr. Back-steen, your case is a rather hard one; landlord, does he state the truth about the musketoes and the room? Landlord De room is hot, Judge, and dere is a good many musketoes dere. I had the man arrested because I thought he was crazy by the vay he acted. I giv him dat room because dere vas no oder von. Judge Mr. , never mind the name, I'll discharge you, and I hope that you will not get into any more ditnculties. ' Mr. B. was satisfied with the landlord's ex planation. They left Court together on appar ent good terms with each other. N. Y. tribune. "The vegetarians assert that, both in Ertj. land and in America, persons who follow their system, have lived through all the periods during which cholera and yellow fever have heen prev alent in modern times. Howard in his philanthropic labors, visited the . dungeons of Europe, which were invested bv such diseases, preserved himself from the liability to attack by a purely vegetable diet, lie accounted for these facts in the tendency of annimal food to cause an over flow of the biliary secretion in the system, and hence to render the patient subject to attack. 'Let go my Tail." At Newton, Upper Falls, Massachusetts, recently, a cow, while quietly grazing beneath a revolving shaft, about six feet from the ground, connecting two buildings at Peter's machine shops, got the end of her tail entangled, and it began to wind up. Poor "mooly," becoming aware of the trouble in the camp, made a vigorous spring, which dissolved her connection from the treacherous iron, leaving her with a stump some six inches long greatly to the consternation of the honest Hibernian who held her by the rope.
