DEAR ENPIRR--Sincs experienced your
full handed grasp, (hand evidently with a
heart in IL, which filled my own like a chunk
Of something goOd,) Dayton, that. good old
city, whose name is Suggestive Of all that ia
comfortable pleasant and joyous, has reced'
ed from my view and b among tho objects
Of memory, and 1 am committed to the tens
der mercies and jOHrnsying hOspitalities Of
the @. H. q d., and d. a NJ, r. r. Cos. The
Excursion Train, bringing our friends from
Cincinnati full of lie and glee, as you know,
left the depot at about half past 8, A. NJ,
and we were soon At full speed making for
the North Star
Although not favored with a large com
pany of Ladies, we aid have full supply Of
their invariabls accomplishments, and the
strange not 70 say snhusing spectacle was
witnessed Of men sdheribgto plethoric bum
dies and boxes, too well stuffed to be called
band boxes, filed not according to the taste
Of the gentle sex with bonnets. ribbons, col
lars, 60, but with what to the male portion
Of humanity is quite as great an idol--a
store Of cold 7ictuals II was gratifying to
notice that our neighbor Cinoinnatians were
not so regardless Of their wives and female
friends, but brought them along to enhance
the pleasures of the excursion by their par
ticipation. l f--.r ....
While all was sxeitsnt mt, hurry and tu-
multi at the station, jolly friend jostling
Grabbed and acidi6sd friend small party
No. l, overrun by party No. 2, Of larger di
mensiOns, every one looking every WY, and
though anxious, moving in no direction of
the bilious temperament quietly awaited the
appointed time, and then made sure de-
scent on the most eligible seat 1t is a fall
ing, you know, to which we were addicted
of old, this sppropriating to Ourself the best
seat.
As it is said everything human must have
an end, we feel warranted in affirming that
the same must have beginning, and so, to
apply the principles, our preparations at the
depot met with happy issue or were soon
at en- end, and our long anticipated ride be-
gan. Whereupon most remarkable and
complete metamorphoSis was observed, old
soakers pulling up their dicksys and settling
deeper into their seats, evidently with the
firm resolve, letting others do as they might,
to enjoy as much gratuitous comfort as posi-
sible; young gallants uisconcsrted, with
trembling nerves and evident perplexity en-
deavoring to decide upon some means Of eni
seFsaining their companions, the few fair
ones who graesd our ''gOodlie companie,"
while all; to speak in . word, (for why de-
scribe what has 30 often been attempted }
smoothed themselves down into quiet, res.
olute submission to fate, striking their plum.
age with a. graceful and careless an air as
possible No doubt you. Mr.. Editor, when
seated in the cars 'unincumbered,, and with
the unabridged privilege Of enjoying mans
inherent right of the free use Of his visual
organs, have often noticed similar trans
formation among your companions, who,
having completed their business or sight
seeing, or having bid adieu to their friends
and completed all the preliminarios to their
journey, with the starting Of the train, quiet
ly subSide into Subduod, martyr like ex-
preston, with an evident undercurront Of
stern resolve to endure, herOically, the perils
and Inconvenience of necessary journey.
But lest may weary you with moraliEing
l only hasten to add, as merrily bound DER
the grinding rail, wish for your enjoyment
of stay at home, while we, happy we,'
are en- route for ---.
