As am making this letter chiefly up
on railway matters. 1 would observe with
pleasure the anxiety with which baggage
is looked after. and the perfect arrange.
ments by which it can be checked to the
greatest distances. will venture to say
there are few persons who realize the
perfection to which baggage checking
has been reduced. At st. Louis. for in

trunk which entities you to claim il at
the depot at Philadelphia. At Boston
one has only to pick out bit of linen or
two for present use and entrust his bag
gage to the proper hands with certainly
Of finding it at Chicago when wanted.-
Compare with former times, the tolls of
railway travel are reduced one>half. In
the days when trunk had to be rescued
from struggling baggage-runners three
or four times day the poor traveller con-
lined himself to a minimum of clothing
and comforts now he may check trunk
larger than organ and forward his entire
domestic arrangements without extra
charge and with wonderful despatch
Our constant friend Grubber has super.
stition on this subject. He conceiyes that
his trunk goes faster than he does--fas.
ter. in feet, than the "lightuing. express"
upon which Grubber always travel -
However this may be, there is no owner
and is reVerenced more by the railway
officials.

Calmly, sweOtly, family stealing ..
On the balmy breath ofevcn,
Waking every Rlumbcring feeling,
Bearing thought from earth to heaven,
Mellow notes attuned to gladness, '...
Falling on the listening ear, ''
soothe the hearts oppressive sadness,
Breathing music soft and clear.
Floating ia melodius measure,
Till my soul eEtranced with pleasure,
Seems beyond earth's vale to soar
Till all grief and caro- forgetting, ..
in sadness muse no more; a...
But my melting spirit blending
With the sweet, inspiring notes,
Through bright fancy's realms ascending,
In trance of rapture floats,
Filled with gushing tides of feeling,
Founts Of ecstacy unseaIing,
Till my rapt and listening soul,
Yielding to the smeet emotion,
Seoms to mock my faint control.
Bear mo on, oh ! strains imm ortal,
Boar mo on beyond the portal
Ofthe realms of bliss untold.
Let my spirit, lost in transport,
There its trembling pinions fold.

TRAVELLING ON ELEPHANT BACK-Mr.
Russell, the correspondent of the London
Times, thus records his own experience:
''At the word Of the mahout, the an
clent pachy knelt down with inf.
mite condescension. and permitted lad
der 10 be placed against his side, by
which we mounted to a contrivance Just
like the body of an Irish iaun,ing car
strapped over his back. We preferred
that mode OF mounting to the more usual
way OF putting ones foot on the animals
proboscis. and holding on by the lower
dap OF his huge India rubber looking eal,
while he. by gentle cut upwards of his
omnl6cent spout. raises the rider to his
back-or to the equally popular mode Of
Selling his tail and putting our foot against
his hind leg, which the animal elevates
at the word Of command till the biped is
high enough to scramble 10 his seat in the
hOwdah. We sat back to back, two at
each side. nicely balanced. aud, under
gone two smart shocks Of an earthquake,
while our friend, in two great heaves. fore
and aft. got to his feet and proceeded
on our journey. 1 cannot say, notwith.
standing the honor and glory of the
thing, that the elephant is an animal
which makes favorable impression as
means of locomotion. The only thing to
which can compare the pitching fore
and aft. as he rises and falls in his stride,
is the riding of light collier brig in a
tideway. One Of the party was soon sick
ened. and the others were soon engaged,
with great severity OF aspect, in holding
on to the rails Of the vessel, "a like grim
death to backssay." And so we went
on ill dawn, very sleepy. tight-roby and
noddy. We reused up. to an attitude Of
attention. at the sight Of broad aud deep
looking river. which looked nything but
inviting under the combined rays Of the
setting moon and the rising sun. AS
these sagacious and highly intellectual
beings are horribly fond of practical jokes
we watched the depth of the water with
some anxiety. lest our elephant should
avoid the trouble of swimming by the
simple expedient Of letting his feeI drop
and walking on the bottom, while the top
of his probOscis. held above water, sup.
Piled him with air; but the stream was
no more than six or seven feet deep. aud
we crossed without an involuntary sblu>
ton"

THE sUMMER WINDS.

The low wind through my easement strays,
Between the jasmi mes parted lenves,
Soft whispering through the morning rays.
And rippIing o'er the golden sheayes.
hear its low voice far away,
Whore silver willows fringe the pool;
And from the forest still aud gray,
Its murmur rises fresh and cool.
Leaving the sunny world below
The jasmine's starry buds to seek,
I feel it gently clasp my brow,
And lightly play upon my check,
That lingering hand sweeps round the room,
O'er dark recess and quiet nook,
Through loose leaves rustlIng in the gloom,
And wandering down my open book.
Nor voiceless doth it f. ON me sweep,
To seek the bright free world again;
And in my bosom thrilling deep,
An echo answers to its struin,
That 1nocks the lonely toll of hooks,
And whispers me away-awuy!
Where waving leaves and rushing brooks
Are glancing In the long birth day.
Away above the green earth's breast,
Away above the blue deep wave,
Whose pillows, in their hoarse unrest,
Chant DER the sailors shroudless grave
Where silver sails gleam far and white,
Aud beckon in the moons cold ray
Tho wild wind following on their flight,
Still whispers me away-away!
