john 6. SAxE's THREE TRAVELLERS.
SAKE, in letter TO the Boston Post,
draws the following portrait Of three
familiar travellers -
1st, The man who travels with his
| wife; 2d, the man who travels with bis
wife's sister; Sd, the man who travels
with another mans wife. The first is
extremely common, and not particular
ly interesting. The man is taciturn,
and sleeps apparently as much as be
can; the woman has slightly subdued
expression Of face, and looks a good
deal at the scenery along the road, of
which she says, for the most part
nothing. When she does speak, as
something happens at the sight of
something very remarkable, she says,
"See-John''-that is all. The man
looks carefully after the baggage, asd
assures his spouse in reply to a ques-
ton, that "it's all right The woman
takes care of the "small traps" and
seems comfortable and contented. Al
together, they behave quite nationally,
and, in spite of their seeming unsocia-
hility, are really fond of each other,
and will make pleasant tip of it-not
only to the end Of their railway tour,
but to the terminus Of their matrimo-
nial journey.
The man who travels with his wife's
sister carries himself, perhaps, III the
main, like the man who travels with his
wife. But he is much more talkative
and takes more pains to be agreeable.
He feels that more i. expected Of him,
and, as it goes in commercial affairs,
the supply is equal to the demand. A
pleasant thing is wifc's sister; unless,
indeed, she is quite the reverse-and
that is not the sort of woman / am
talking of. She takes the wife's place
i'll the house sometimes, and may chance
to make al excellent step-Inother.-
Why not for is she not already the
aunt of her nieces and nephews p
This sort of marriage, however, is, I
believe, anti-Levitical, and some of the
theologians don't approve Of it-which
is pity.
The man who travels with another
mans wife is Of much more marked

real and possible wants of the lady -
He respects her whims even, which
you may be sure, her husband does not
at home or abroad How carefully he
hands her in and out! How sedulously
he plies her ear with discourse And
yet he ilnagines people take him for
the lady's spouse! No, my dear sir,
the brakeman in the corner knows bet
ter than that. Husbands may be ux-
orous, but kindness such as yours is
more like that Of cavalier servaate-
which after all, l dare say, you are not.
Us tiresome, though, after while, un-
less the lady is remarkably attractive
and pays her own fare (which she
sometimes forgets,) and for journey
of thousand miles, your own wife is
much the more agreeable companion.

FURNISHED BY 4 CLAIRvoTANT RE
PORTER.

We find the following in Columbus
Enquirer, a paper which always gives
honest credits, or else we should sus-
pect that it was sly "Punch" from
some sarcastic observer across the At
lantic:
July 4, l952.-Mr. D. Farcer, (Dem.,
Ky.) brought forward motion for the
suppression of oral discussion IN the
Legislature. The honorable member
proposed as a Substitutes, that all ques-
tons at issue should be settled by sin
gle combat, bowie knife or pistol
Honorable members were, up to the
present period in the habit of sticking
atnothing, and he, Mr. Farcer,) thought
that this proposal would obviate such
a state of things, by giving them some
think to stick at.
Mr. Barker, Dem, Va.) seconded
the motion, and also would be happy to
| second any Of the combatants in want
of his assistance. He believed that
his qualifications in this respect were
we'll known to the Honorable House
and If any member was ignorant of
them, he would take the liberty of re-
capitulating. The Hon. Member was
here proceeding to give the details of
several sanguinary "dlfficulties," when
he was interrupted by
Mr.. Whittier, (Whig Tenn.) What
does the honorable member mean by
thrusting the details of his duels on the
House? Good wine needs no bush
and a successful duelist needs no prac
tice. There was no danger of the Hon
members deeds not beng trumpted
forth to the world, because everybod,
knows that 'Emurder viii OUT
