East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1859-06-16

collide, we wouldn't be apt TO discover it
till we were slightly killed, and if the
"gentlemanly conductor" did not always
wake us up, according to order, we
should very often travel further than we
paid for TIE country between Detroit
and Toledo, or at least that portion of it
whisn we saw during wakingmoments
seemed to be low, fiat and wet. The
Monroe station being nearly a mile from
the city, we couldrt very well describe
that locality, any more than we saw side
walk, which we afterwards discovered led
TO the city. We are now outward bound,
but on our return viii stop and give
short sketch Of this and other places,
to which at present we will only give
passing notice "Order is the first law
of heaven order is also one of the chief
characteristics Of your most obedient and
humble servant. In proof of our orderly
habits we need only mention that we al
ways gel up before we eat our breakfast,
always 90 to bed before we get up, inva-

for half an hour to change cars and con-
ductors. In the interim we took drink
of-coflee, which, together with our pat
riotism and love of country, our venera-
ton for its defenders and the enthusiasm
which proximity to places of historic note
will inevitably create in the mind of man,
) wrought us up to such pitch of gene
rosity that we incontinently thrust our
hand into our pocket, produced five cent
piece, and reclllessly invested 1t in glass
of-chestnuts. Canyon blame us? What
man of the least feeling could remain un-
moved, or forbear giving some sign OF the
pent up emotions which burned, and
throbbcd and pulsated in his heart as he
approached Che scene of the famous To-
ledo War. Talk of Runio, Peleponessi'
an, Carthagenian and Roman wars

campaign they shrink into utter insignia

Napoleon, when compared withthe achlev
