John G. Base's "Three Travelers "
Saxe, in a1 letter to "the Boston Post,
draws these portraits' of. three familiar
travellers : - - ' -
1st, the nian wHo travels, with. his wife;
2d, the man who travels with his wife's
sister; -3d,-, the man who. travels with
another man's wife ; , . . , .
. The first case is extremely common, ancj
not .particularly interesting.-' -The man is
taciturn, and sleeps apparently as much
as he can; the woman has a slightly sub
dued, expression of face, and looks a good
deal at the scenery along the road, of
which she says for the most part, nothing.
When she does speak, as sometimes hap
pens at the sight of something very-remarkable,'
she. says: "See John!" -that
is all. The man looks carefully after the
baggage, assures his. spouse, in reply to a
question, that it is "all right.". The
woman takes care of the small "traps,",
and seems comfortable and 'content.' Al
together,, they behave quite rationally,
and, in spite of their unsociability, are
really quite fond of each other, and will
make a very pleasant trip of it not only
to the end of their railroad tour, but to
the teTminusof their matrimonial journey.
The man who traveb with his . wife's
sister carries himseir, pernaps, m tne
mam, use tne man wno travels wun ius
wife. But he is much more talkative, and
takes more pains to be agreeable He
eels that more is expected cf him, and
as :t cfoes m commercial anairs, tne supply
is equal to the demand. ; A pleasant thing
is a. wife's sister; unless,. indeed, she is
quite the reverse and that is notthesort
ot a woman. l am taticing or. one.- lawcs
the wife's place' in the house sometimes,
and may chance to make' an excellent step
mother. Why. not? for is she not already
the aunt of her neices and nephews ?
This sort of marriage, however, is, I.-be-
ieve,.' anti- Levitical, and some of the
theologians don't approve of it which is
pity. - ' t '
The man who travels with another
man's
wife is of much more marked be
havior, . How attentive he is to all- the
real and possible wants of the lady ! He
respects her whims even, which, you may
be sure, her husband does .not, at home
or abroad". How carefully he hands her
ini and put I ' How sedulously he plies her
ear with discourse ! And yet he imagines
people take him for the. lady's spouse Nr
No, my dear sir; the brake man. in the
corner knows better than that. ' Husbands
may be uxorious, but .kindness such as
yours is more iiks mat. ot a cavanzr
servanle which, after all, I dare say you
are not. It's- tiresome,' .though, after
awhile, unless the lady is remarkably at
tractive, and pays her own fare ; (which
she sometimes forgets,) and, on'a journey
of. a thousand miles, your wife is much
the more agreeable a companion.-..
Being in LoTer
The epoch of being in love, 'notwith
standing all, is the most agreeable in the
whole course of life. The' soul has then
no craving to gratify existence, it is at its
highest premium,, for it is then we are
- c . . i-cr tt..;.t,
urinest irom inaiuerence. xie nuu is iu
ove. cherishes life, and but enjoys it the
etter for. little drawbacks in other affairs,
which only heighten love's relish when
we return.it; it is a better and pieasanter
thing than money-getting or courtship, or
sullen s.tudy, or maddening ambition,- or a
thousand, gasping aesires- mat ungross us,
wholly without'our feeling satisfaction in
their pursuit. These are solitary pljects;
beinar in love is participated witimnotner,
and therefore it is a more social pleasure.
The romantic tinge" which often colors
our conduct, is an agreeable characteristic";
it increases' the attraction, and confers a
tallowed' charm upon the passion. ; Being
in love is a restraint upon evil feeling a
situation favorable to virtue. - The. love
of a waman is a corrective of our- per
verse. nature and while its session lasts, :
always mends the heart:' Let an unbiased
and discriminating' cotogenerial answer
what part of life'he could-look back upon
with the . most kindly ' feelings what
portion of his departed years he most
cherished in his remembrance, and he
would doubtless answer,-the time when h.e
ml . -C .1.-.
was in love, ine memory ql mat ueutious
season, its little adventures, its hopes, its
fears, and enjoyments' a'lways come 'over
us with a suGh of pleasing, warmth', a sun?
beam piercjnc: the clouds of departed
time, and irradiating for a moment our
tottering steps and gray hairs. Being in
love mingles .us with -the better things of
life, keeps beautiful forms perpetually
before the eye, gives us pleasing dreams,
elevates the spirit' and exalts our views.
It tempers our harsher dispositions with
gentleness of beauty, and subdues our
proudest pretensions, to the government
or tears- and 'carresses oi rananess ana
tiRrsuasion. He who lias never been in
love is- a miserable blockhead, who is
ignorant of the highest joy this distemper
ed life Dossesses for mortals." Being in
love is, in fact, a sort of milienium . far
above )ife's other good. Quincy Herald,
Simplicity of .Faith.
All mpn nr born with faith. I aim IS
as natural to a man as grief, or love, or
anger; one- of the .earliest flowers that
springup in the soul ;' it smiles on a mother
from her infant's cradle; and living on
through The rudest storms of life, it never
dies till the hour of death. On the face
of a child which has been left for a' little
time with strangers, and may be caressed
with their kisses, and courted with their

smiles, and fondled and dandled in. their
arms, I have seen a cloud gathering and
growing darker -till at length it burst in
cries of terror .and' a shower of tears.--The
mother returns; and when the bale
holds out its little ' arms to her, I see- in
those the arms of faith; 'and: when, like
xl' believer restored to the bosom of its
God, it is nestled in a mothers "embrace,
and the cloud passes from its-brow, and
its tears are changed into smiles, and its
tefr'r into mild serenity we behold the
principal of faith In play. This is one of
the earliest", andso far. as nature is con
cernedone' of its -most beautiful de
velopments. '. .
So natural, indeed, is it for uS to con-
I elude and trust; and believe, that a child'
believes whatever it is told, until experi
ence shakes its confidence in human ve
racity. Its eye is caught by the beauty
of some flower, or it gazes up with 'won
der on the starry heavens, and with that
iriquisitiveness, which in childhood, active
as a bee, is ever on the wing, it is curious
to know who made them, and would believe
you if you said you made them yourself..
Such is the faith which nature gives it in
a father, that it never doubts his word.
It believes all'he says,' and is content to
believe where it can not comprehend.
For this, as well as other rea'sons.bur
Lord, presented, in.a child, the. living
models in a Christian. He" left Abraham,
father of-the faithful, fto" his repose in
Heaven;' he left Samuel, undisturbed, to
enjoy the quiet rest "of his grave ; he- al
lowed Moses lind Elias, after their brief
visit, to return to the skies, and wing their
way back to glory. For a pattern of faith
he took a boy' from his! mother's side, and
setting him up, in his gentle, blushing,
shrinking modesty, before the great as
sembly, he said : "Whosoever shalL riot
receive. the kingdom of. God as a little
child, shall in no wise enter therein."
; My Idea of .a Man. .
: Why do people decry a masculine blush?
I don't know. I immediately love the
man. 'who -blushes... I am sure he is un
hackneyed : that he has not a set of meaningless-,
cut and dried compliments on hand
for every bonnet., he meets; he has not
learned to sniff at the Bible or the Sab
bate, or prate . transcendentally about
"affinities," or any other corruption under
a new-fangled name. I know that his love
will be worth a pure woman's having-;
that . he will not be . ashamed of liking
home, or his baby, or laughed out of stay
ing in it. in preference to any other place.

Reading.
Keep your view of men and things ex
tensive, and, depend upon it, that a mixed
knowledge is not a superficial one. As
far as it goes, the views that it gives are
true ; but he who reads deeply in one
class of writers only, gets views that are
almost sura to be .perverted, and - which
are not only narrow but false, Adjust
your, proposed' amount of reading to your
time and inclination -this is perfectly
free to every man; but whether . that
amount be large pr small, let it be varied
in its kind, and widely varied.' If I have

Manner of Extracting the virtue of Hops
in B tewing. ' "...
The usual method is to put in hops
without any preparation into the. strong .
beer or ale wort ; the consequence is, the
richer and better the wort is, the less it-'
will partake of the -essence of the hops. '
The rich fat wort sheathes up the pores
of the hop. and, as it were, embalms the
leaves, so that the beer cr ale wort can.
extract scarcely any part of the necessary
quality of the hop; but when it is put into
the small beer wort, a fluid of more thin
nature, there the pores are unsheathed,
and the small beer is rendered to bitter;
therefore the hops, before they are put
into the strong drink,' should be previous
ly soaked in a pail of hot water.
. To confirm the truth of this observation
take a quarter of an ounce of the best
green tea, and instead of pouring on if
simple boiling water, let the water have
the same -quantity of sugar boiled in it
that it would be necessary to sweeten so .
much tea when'made, and you will find; .
that the sweetness of the water will pre-'
vent its extracting tfce grateful bitter 'of
the tea. ' -
