The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, which
the world are severally anxious to fulfil, are the inhereut privi-
leges of mankind, and but for the accidents of mortality would
be awarded equally to all. To such, among others, this essay
addresEea itself; and, by its perusal, many questions may be
satisfactorily adjusted, that admit of no appeal, even to the
most confidential friend. To fan the s
confidence, and point
park of hope, to dissi-
pate groundless alarm, to restore failing
to the means of securing a happy old age, is no trifling recom-
mendation of an effort directly tending to the social and moral
welfare of all classes of the community.

RAIL WA I S.-IPASSENGERS'
LUGGAGR

Every one who travels by the railways in England '
complains of the want of due regulation respecting the
luggage of passengers. It is surprising that the ma-
nagers of railways, who are for the most part clever per-
sons in their way, and who must naturally desire to
attract customers by giving them every reasonable ac-
commodation, should up' to the present time have ne-
glected to " give satisfaction " in the matter of luggage.
Some people talk of the risk of travelling by railway ;
but it seems to be pretty generally admitted that the
risk of losing life or limb is by no mean considerable.
Tho risk uf losing luglwage, however, is by all considered
to be imminent. It Is snatched away from the dis-
tracted traveller at the inouient that he is thrust into
his seat, fearing that if he delay half a second he will be
either left behind or killed. lie linutys not where his
luggage has been put, and, alas ! it fs my probable he
will never know. When the train arrives; all is con-
fusion. If he regain all his luggage without much trou-
ble the traveller is very fortunate—if he regain a part
of it he is better off thati sane of his neighbours-4f he
lose it all, where is his redress 7
The great railroads have very arbitrary Acts of Par-
liament on their side, and as they are sole possessors
of the means of getting from one place to another,
we must be content to bear with the consequences of
great power upon which their is no efficient check. But
as the managers are powerful, may we not entreat that
they would be merciful also ? Will they not have pity
upon passengers, and not rend asunder those ties of
tender affection which commonly subsist between a man
! and his luggage ? To be parted from it durinr, a journey
is enough of trial for ordinary sensibility, to be
separated from it for ever is too cruel.
They manage these things- better in France, oy at
all events in Belgium, which comes pretty much
to the same thing. There you deliver up your
luggage when you come to the railway, and you
get a recept for it. If beyond a certain weight,
you pay something for the surplus, but you have your
receipt, and feel quite comfortable about your trunks.
There is a luggage apartment attached to each train, and
your trunks are deposited therein, each box or bag having
chalked on it a number which corresponds with that on
your receipt. The luggage is numerically assorted in
the apartment assigned to it, and a guard is appointed
who attends to the luggage and nothing else. Surely
there is nothing in this so difficult but what it might be
copied in England, and the additional comfort in travel-
, ling would be very great. We entreat the managers of
our railroads to take this matter into their serious con-
sideration. We know they need not do it if they don't
like, for they have their Acts of Parliament and their
"exclusive right of way." But if they would be pleased
to like to do what the public would like to have done,
they would set about reforming the luggage grievance
directly.—Post.
