BAGGAGE TRAIN

What Made Gov. Medill a Methodist. When we first saw the statement that Gov. Medill had proclaimed, publicly, in the northwest part of the State, that he had a leaning towards the Methodist Church, we knew ho was after something, and, to-lay, we arc enabled to let the cat out of the bag. It seems that, somewhere up in the hoop-pole region, there lives a fascinating buxom, black-eyed young widow, whose charms had made considerable havoc upon the fossiliferous heart of his venerable Excellency. The widow is as lively as a kitten, and, as it was given out that Medill was to make a stump speech in her neighborhood, she resolved to set her cap at him, merely for the fun of having it said that she had captured such an old fogy bachelor. She had long been a leading sister in the Methodist Church, and she thought it would be an excellent thing to bring such an old sinner to repentance. She baited her traps accordingly, and with the aid of a few Locofoco friends, it was not long before she had her victim in the front room, the curtain drawn, and herself alone,, tete-a-tete with the Chief Magistrate of Ohio. She had him seated comfortably in the big rocking chair, and as he swayed himself backwards and forwards, he looked at the widow and he sighed. The widow looked at him and she sighed and sho simpered, as all the widows do up in the hoop-pole region. We don't intend to make public all that transpired between this interesting couple on this occasion. We only Btate that our worthy Chief Magistrate has had no such tender emotions creep over him for the last half century. The widow was cruel, yet she was kind. She laughed at the old fellow's compliments; she leased him about leading such a miserable life as an old bachelor must live; she wanted to know who mended his socks, and who sewed on his shirt buttons; she quizzed him about buying a little farm, and why he didn't get somebody for his dairy, it would be so nice; and, in short, she bothered him almost out of his wits. The Governor, who prides himself on his influence with the fair sex, soon found that he was nowhere with this fascinating widow. Like a poor boy at a frolic", (to use an original expression,) he had nothing (o say. But the widow saw she had him, and she plied him without mercy. She berated him for being an antiAmerican, and a friend to the Catholics; hinted that he was after foreign votes by slandering his own countrymen, and vowed that, for her part, she would never have the best man that ever lived if he was not an American in feeling, and a Methodist in religion, no, not even if he was a Governor. Upon this hint the Governor spoke, lie said he would be anything and all things for . her sake, if she would only, smilo iipnn Him;, said that he had a nice little farm near Lancaster, and he wanted a nice little Methodist widow, like herself, to take charge of the dairy, and if she would only consent to be bone of his bone and flesh of his liesh, that he would come out, the next day, in a speech, and announce himself a Methodist. ' , The Governor did so the next day in the presence of a crowded audience, much to the disgust of his political friends, and in the evening, when he returned to the widow's house to claim his reward, his mortification may bo conceived, but not described, as sho communicated to him the sorrowful intelligence that she would never think of marrying a Governor who wore a wig. We understand that ever since this melanchply occasion, our bachelor Governor is inclined to lean more towards the Methodist church than he is towards the widows about the hoop-pole region. Ohio State Journal. MIRTHFULNESS. Henry Ward Beecher, in a recent address at one of the New England Colleges, thus discoursed : It is difficult to commend the quality of cheerfulness in sober discourse, on account of the almost universal impression of its lowness, if not wickedness. Men are disposed to view sobriety as a necessary ingredient of religion, and to regard mirthfulness as needless, or at least to be sparingly indulged, in. It is thus compelled to be a vagabond a companion of idleness begging its bread from door to door. Mirthfulness is an original faculty of the mind, having the power to give a peculiar quality to any other faculty to which it happens to blend. It is a cuckoo, and lays eggs in other faculties' nests. It belongs to that larcre class which have no outlet except through other channels, and whose office is to give other faculties a flavor not their own. There can be no definition of it; every attempt has failed. ' 1 Mirthfulness has great power over the excited feeling and the angry irritation of men; it makes them more generous and just. It is more powerful, even among good men than reason or conscience. When an assembly of men has become excited and irritable they are unjust, implacable, intolerant, and intolerable. But let a jest fall like a bomb in their midst,' exploding in shouts of laughter, and the clouds lift and the .tumult ceases. Mirthfulness is said to be the devil's weapon, but it has exercised the devil a hundred times where he has made use of it once. It is this which brings an orator into direct and powerful sympathy with his auditors: it is like controlling the servants in the castle gate. It wings his rebuke, and makes them patient under its infliction. It is more reasonable than reason, giving it clear atmosphere for its energy, and it works more powerfully for . conscience than conscience itself. The cares of life are rendered less poignant by mirthfulness. Care is a human devil; it is like a dried, wrinkled apparition in the house of fear. Sorrows are noble, and ennobling, but care is an evil hag. It has neither faith, nor hope, nor love. It touches the path of misfortune with blight, and rests upon the sensitive soul like mildew upon flowers. It curses poverty with weariness, and it stands forth mildewed and blasted. Sorrow hath slain its thousands. It is the rust that hath tarnished and eaten the blade. Sorrows are like princes that have dug wells in the desert for those that have come after them, and surrounded by trees and herbage for a true heart never suffers for itself alone, but care fills the air with dust. Cursed be care, and let all the people say Amen. He next passed to the consideration of mirthfulness in respect to religion. This is a difficult subject to speak of on account of the prejudices which surround it. There are defects in religion

which can be' remedied by mirthfulness better than by any other means. Insipid goodness is virtue stale; it lacks sparkle and life; it wants carbonic acid gas. The leaven of cheerfulness would work in such souls like the summer sun in the North to-day fields of ice; to-morrow violets. Men are apt to look upon religion as a sombre fortress, bristling with guns, and they think the way to become religious is to enlist and join the garrison. Our religious feelings are touched with awe and veneration rather than by love. We regard the ministers as gentlemen in black, whose professional duties are correspondingly sombre. The only book that inculcates cheerfulness in religious matters is that best of all books the Bible. He who stands with look askance and rebukes this utterance of the whole soul, surely forgets that the flowers praise God as much as the cedars of Lebanon that the trees and the winds, and the rolling thunders, and silence, and darkness are all audible to Him. If a man has to try to be witty, he should not be, and will not be. He only asked that a man should have the liberty of saying what he has in him. It was here, then, in the place whero a smile courted a curse, and laughter a blasphemy, that he would assert the dignity of mirthfulness when it lays its blushing powers on the altar of love, and yields to God the fragrance of the whole soul. House Building. "He that builds a country mansion should remember that he takes upon himself a responsibility. He not only is about to erect a house that he may enjoy with his family, and which he may not unreasonably hope his children will be able to maintain after his death; but he is about to do what may for years affect the taste of the rustic community that will naturally take their tone from him. Common-sense would lead him to require a house neither too costly nor too large; and a consideration that the wealth he has reaped was only given him for a proper bestowal, should urce him to be careful

that he erects what shall be a lesson in art to his neighbors. The retired merchant from the busy city, is apt to have all his proceedings watched, and it is not unnatural for those who know that his wealth has been gained by shrewdness ot judgment in business matters, to suppose that tne same maturity of thinking will be developed in his house and all his country undertakings so that he will be sure to find plenty of imitators who will modestly believe that by following his example they can scarcely err. "Therefore I say, a man building a country mansion has, if he rightly views it, grave respon sibility, and his act may retard or advance the progress of truthful influence in art more than he may perhaps at first thought admit. 'A well-designed and truthful building in a country place is a perpetual lesson, and the wealthy man that erects one does a good to the community that books and teaching cannot equal. Whilst the erection of such a building is a ben efit, the construction of one in bad taste-is an injury, and it may take a generation to obliterate its effects; in this untrammelled country, it seems to me a man has no right, however widely he may own land that surrounds it, to rear an unsightly building to mar the common enjoyment of a beautiful landscape." What is Luggage? Inasmuch as Railroad Companies are deemed Common Curriers in respect to the luggage of passengers, that is to etiTf, cms t,c nro dccmctl 1 CPp.'iioilo for oucH luggage unless destroyed by the act of God, or by public enemies, it is important, in view of the interests of Railroad business, to accurately fix the meaning of that term. Any luggage may be defined to such articles of necessity or convenience as it is costomary for travelers to take with them, including articles for recreation, such as fishing-tackle or books ; but not including merchandise or other valuables, although not carried in the trunks of passengers, when such merchandize or valuables are not carried for personal use, but for a sale or the like. A lady's trunk, containing, with other apparel, her jewels, has been deemed to be luggage.f A carrier has been held to be responsible for a watch lost in a passenger's trunk, the watch being regarded as an appendage to the person, and, as such, a part of the owner's luggage.J A Railroad Company is liable for money contained in a passenger's trunk, to an amount suitable for travelling purposes. In Illinois dueling pistols have been regarded as luggage, the same having been carried for self-protection. And, on the other hand, a carrier has been held not to be reliable for a trunk of silk goods. claimed as luggage ; nor tor lost samples used in effecting the sales of goods. 1 , Storv on Bailments, 499. f Bingham's Reports, 213. 10. Ohio Reports, 145. 19. Wend., 634. g 25. Wendall, 450. An Extended Statement. An old gentleman who had a neighbor rather addicted to telling large stories, after listening one day to several which taxed his credulitv. boasted that he him self could tell a bigger one still, and proceeded to relate the following: . . ... One day 1 was quite at the farther end of my farm, more than half a mile from my' house, when, all at once I saw a dark cloud rising in the West. Soon I saw the torrents of rain descending at a distance, and rapidly approaching the place where 1 stood with my wagon. I started my team towards home. By constant application of the whip, to my horses I . barely escaped being overtaken by the rapidly approach ing torrent. But so tremendously did it nour down, that my little dog, who was close behind me, actually had to swim all the way!' Jg&To spoil a boy, give him a rich' father. This will give him a taste for idleness, while idleness will give him a taste for billiards, ballet dances, fast horses, and drawing. This, in time, will lead to broken shins and broken heads.' The former will belong to the young man himself, the latter to his parents. To do a person good, money should be earned. Dash inherited half a million, but, as he did not inherit the frugality which acquired it, Dash lost by the operation. Dash "goes it stout" on champagne suppers. Dash is now in training for the delirium tremens, the effect of which will be that in a year Dash will go to the lunatic asylum, because he mistook his house for a cliper ship, and undertook to cast anchor by throwing his manservant out of a fifth storv window, in the cistern. Let Her Be. A Detroit mercantile gentleman, who was travelling eastward a short time since, went to the clerk of one of the Ontario boats to be shown to his state room! ' The clerk handed the applicant a key, at the same time pointing to a door some little distance, marked B. Our friend went in the direction indicated, but opened the next door to his own, marked A, where he discovered a lady passenger making her toilet, who, upon the stranger's appearance, uttered a low scream. "Go away! go away!" screamed the lady. "Letter B," yelled the clerk. "I am not toticliinor her at all !" shouted the indignant merchant.
