Leaving Fort Wayne on Saturday morning
the writer reached La Porte, by way Of ToIe-
do, at midnight of the same day; spent Sunday
in that most delightful of Northern Indiana
towns, and, at the second midnight, com.
menced retracing his steps, returning to this
city, by way of Toledo, Fort Wayne, and
Cincinnati having travelled in one week
through the wonderful aid of steam, ovei
eleven hundred miles, besides consuming q
large portion Of the time in the interspersior
of business and pleasure.
A little incident occurred at Toledo which
the writer will attempt to relate, and with
which he will dismiss this, already. toe
lengthy article. We had ridden, on the
morning of our arrival there, through parts OF
some most beautiful country. The pure

leaf and flower hung luxuriant and rich from
the forest boughs, or blossOmed in the strips of
low prairies, to fill the quiescent air, and en-
balm the enraptured senses of the passer by
with their distilling perfumes. We had passed
through the darkness of the night, drawn by
the hcadlong foaming fiery engine, as safe
ly as though in our beds at home - and
the thought of this, and the happy influences
around about filled most Of the passengers
with disposition to social genial colloquy.
There was one man among us, however,
whose heart seemed Gallons to the happiness
and brightness which surrounded him at eve
ry hand. A mocking bird hung in cage
near BY, but its song to the morning found no
echo in the heart Of our hero. Little child
rem were running to and fro at his feet, but
their playful, happy smiles made no impres
sion on his stolid face. He looked like the
world, to every youthful heart abont him, the
bright and happy world, to him, was a field
of iniquity and error-that 10 imbibe the pure
air, to enjoy the music Of the birds, OF the in
nocencs of childhood's beauty, was an un-
pardonable and an everlss.ingly unquencha-
bic sin. This man carried constantly in hi:

These things went on until we reached To
