Jvnn N q. saxe,s Three Travellers.

SAKE, in letter TO the Boston Post, draws
the following portrait of three familiar trav-
eers:
LIST, The man who travels with his wife;
End, the man who travels with his wife's Sis
ter Sd, the man who travels with another
mans wife. The frst is extremely common,
and not particularly interesting. The man
10 taoiturn, and sleeps apparently as much a.
be can the woman has slightly subdued
expression Of face, and looks good deal at
the scenery along the road, Of which she sAys,
for the most part-nothing. When she does
speak, as sometimes happens at the sight of
something very remarkable, she says, ssSeo
-John"-that is oil. The man looksoare-
fully sitter the baggage, and assures his
spouse in reply to . question, that otis oil
right" The woman takes care Of the sssmall
traps" and seems comfortable and content
ed. Altogether, they behave quite rational
~, and, in spite Of their seeming unsooiabil-
ity, are resily fond Of each other, and viii
make q pleasant trip OF it--not only to the
Of their matrimonial journey. os
The man who travels with his wife's sister
carries himself, perhaps, in the main, like the
man who travels with his wife. But he il
much more talkative and takes more pains to
DE agreeable. He feels that more is expected
OF him, and, a. it goes in commercial affairs,
the supply is equal to tho demand. A pleas
ant thing is wife's sister; unless, indeed,
she 10 quite the reverse-and that is not the
sort Of woman | am talking OF. She takes
the wife's place in the house sometimes, and
may chance to make an excellent step moth
err. Why not?-for is she not already the
aunt Of her nieces and nephews? This sort
OF marriage, however, is, l believe, anti-Le-
vitical, and some OF the theologians don't APP
prove Of it--which il pity.
Tho man who travels with another mans
wife 10 Of much more marked behavior
Low attentive he is to ell the real and possi-
Bile wants OF the lady He respects her
whims sven, which, you may be sure, her
husband docs not at home or abroad. How
carefully he hands her in and ont How
sedulousIy he plies her ear with discourse -
And yet he imagines people take him for the
lady's spouse No, my dear sir, the brake
man in the corner knows better than that
Husbands may be uxorious, but kindness such
| M yours is more like that of cavalier SER
rante-which, after all, ! dare cay, you are
not. It's tiresome, though, after q while,
unless the lady 10 remarkably attractive and
| pays he- own fare (Which she sometimes for
gets and for a journey Of Thousand miles,
your own wife is much the more agreeable
companion.
