BY A LADY.

thin clothes or both.
It's queer that people may be 80 wise N packing
their trunks aud tLey re make some mistake Ana

the kind we II wan; in strange company we may

when we were growing very hot. Charlie earned some
things that be didn't want and left very careiuiy al
home something wanted all the time.
Charles wife didn't want to trust herself 10 all the
lightning trains and high pressure boats Charlie and
little biz anxious and sad, said good bye to all at home
and started for New-York. II wasn't long before we
were quite comor.able-peope feel bright when they
first start in travelling dresses and clean linen collars 10
see some new parts of the wide, wide world.
Yourself TO grow bright in everybody too, there
such pushing of other people about to get the side that
isn sunny and such of rejoicing feeling that folks
on the opposite side havnt your seats and you in their
place with the blinds down and seeing the country as
goes gsncing by. When everybody and their vaises get
settled there always quite looking round TO zee who
going with you. and how they look
couldn help knowing in little while after we started,
what people had been married that day and what had been
married great deal longer The brides grew tired go soon,
ard had to lay their heads the gentlemens shoulders
which the gentlemen seemed to like very much, and
thought e-ked them get tired quick The gentle
men that had been husbands much longer almost showed
very plainly that they weren't anxious to have anybody
lean upon ihem but thought reading the newspaper W."
Jul as pleasant.
Charlie and great many other gentlemen had oought
nov "Widc-Awckesr TO wear when their hats hung on
the brsss hooks all around but they looked very much
mused and were not good a, all for keeping people lively
because everybody went TO sleep that had them on.
When the horses put at New-fsrk we were JUST
awake enough to get instead OF being carried down
through the City, and afterwards slept very nicely no'
withstandDg great many noises
The next day we started again with some very pleasant
people that were invited on the excursion. We had
new set Of brides on the Hudson River Railroad but they
all were tired Just the before got TO the first sta
,ion was glad wasn't Just married myself because
should have good deal of the scenery which was so
beautiful don't believe the lady in front OF Us saw the
white sails upon the river, the golden sunset when
painted the hills and water with of glow than those
pictures are painted with, that people 60 all the way TO
Italy to see. No doubt her husbands eyes made very
glowing pictures for her, and she saw in them great
many pretty OF carefulness and joys and IN sure
loyod to look at her. and be glad that she ddn need to
look out from him upon the world il il was never so
beautiful
All the people that not just married, and cant be
very happy without going TO Europe to sec something
wonderful wish would 20 afternoon on the iiud
son Railroad and make believe they were the other
side" II believe that's what the young gentlemen call
that have been there and speak OF very caelessy as
il il wasn't much 10 gol. They would certainly write
book directly about their travels besides not being sea-
sick and spending much OF their money.
Twas sorry when Albany across our track to sop
our viovy md was lad II the omnibus
that we gave him dollar to carry Us round the corner
from the cars. But we couldn't help making up our
minds 10 look round the first when We stopped me
next time. Instead of black in white aprons that
put up your chair the table aud ask you Tea or COT
fee I" they have at the Deleyan House nice looking
girls in any aprons they choose don't think they star'
20 violently as the black walters do, especially after
you've given them dollar, but think they could be
trusted better with anything you wouldn like to have
spit on your dres. didn't know ii liked it first but
perhaps its better than stitching and hemmng al day and
all night.
In the morning made up minds to be in Buffalo IN
the evening and ii seemed the ren took under
stood that must certainly be there and was determined
to dash everything pieces its way rather than we
should not get where were going in time. II had
been kind enough not to have gone QUITE 80 FAST and so
let me see something Decides the Of beautiful eds

wanted as we went along, to SEQ canoes upon the
river and back among the fields the wi gwams Of the
Indisns-perhsps warrior looking very terrifying
in his paint and feathers with his omahswk wanting my
scalp very much which could feel very he could not
reach. II would have made the pleasant ride so very
pleasant merely OF all the papoOses hang
AL Tnd and
the chase and the sport, but to them just as they
looked great many years ago. Imagination, that people
think YOU depend upon much didnt satisfy me at
all when thought of the lively the Indians must
have made of their beautiful home which smiling
so quietly upon were in such hurry to get by.
1t almost pity that tribes, and chiefs, and 'quaws,
and papooses should be told by people they didn't know,
that they couldn't stay any longer where they had right
TO- and that strange people with trunks end carpetosss
should be looking from the windows Of railroads cars
upon the wild, free places where they were born So
many cold eyes, and ones every day, looking az II
they didn't for anything beautiful upon the green
places and the sunny places where the happy Mohawk
had felt great deal Of joy and love. Everybody its
better that the Indians have been pushed away to make
room for people that brighter and suppose s and
the people that brighter might perhaps be pushed away
to make for people that BETTER but don't be-
ieve they'd like it. Nothing happened 10 us, although
expected something every minute and were in Buffalo
in omnibus about dark going to take the steamboat
the lake. suppose the omnibus driver here was very
poor too for he wanted much that he said he vas
going just way when he had go jus, the other way
to carry great many people to hotels first. heard come
gentlemen that wanted 60 right away to the boat say
word that begins with d. but couldn't help thinking that
their blood couldn't have been pure gentleman, but might
sometime have had something in j. that brought them
quite into relationship with the that drove the horses.
