Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1861-09-26

There is one thing, my dear Phillip, said
as We reached the depot, which ! have often
taken pleasure in observing, and that Is he
various Pseuliarities Of character and edu-
cation and refinement that are exhibited By
those with whom come in contact during
my travels. Have you ever noticed the
differences which distinguished the old
traveller from him who seldom leaves his
own domain have; and let me tell you,
young man, If you are a good observer, that
you cannot 60 to 3 better school for the
formation Of your own manners. Your
true thoroughbred shows 70 great advantage
among the miscellaneous congregation Of a
rail car or steamboat. de Is never taken
BY surprise, never rufied, mover Gin bur
~" He gets up behind his locomotive,
and whisks off on slittle jsunt Of q thousand
miles or 50, with the nonchalance CT q Cher
okee Indian. he iuns over to take peep
ct The colosseum with less agitation Of spirit
than another wiz experience on taking q
Broadway stage from the Battery to the do
main Of tie (Which is it."
Look as that man and wife who have just
ahghted from the car, the fret Of halfa hum
dfed to touch terra frma. They bear on
their countenances an expression Of wild
distress, ss though all the railroads In the
land had entered into q conspiracy to leave
them behind. The man carries satchel,
paper hat box, end an umbrella, and his
companion three large bundles, and the in
eVitable band-box. It is q fact, that as civ
ilization advances, the travelling band-box
retires. There they go hurriedly, the wife
clinging to her husbands skirts, in precise
ly the wrong direction for the outgoing train,
asking eagerly now and then ss they pro-
oeed, from sundry hack drivers, "where
the cars are that 60 to Portlsnd?" and re-
ceiVing repeated assurances from the Johns,
that they can be driven right there for q con-
sidarstion. At the end of fifteen tumultuous
minutes, some good Samaritan points out the
way, and they are seated. Then comes the
inventory Of effects. There are the big
bundle, and thstwo little bundles, and the
band-b box, and the umbrella; but-gOOd
heSyens-where is the other satchel2 So
John tells Mary to to I" set'' (JOhn is apt TO
speak thuS) quiet, and he hurries away to
recover the estrsy, and in process Of time ne
relieves Mary's agony b. returning with it
before she is borne away.
On the other hand, there is "a. D. Bos-
ton" (as we learn from his trunk,
which he had just re-chscked y there is
IA. D." his wife, nurse girl, and little
child q year or two old. ga. D." is q man
who it would be safe to- lay odds has
seen the world TO no limited extent. The
party have only magazine and little
travelling bag among them. They saunter
leisurely fsom their seats into "stevenS' din
ing rooms with fulleonfdence that what
is to be will be, and that unless fate ordains
il otherwise, they will have time for re-
freshments. "a D.'' calls for his mutton
chops and appropriate accOmpaniments, for
he breakfasts late to-day, with the gusto Of
an Alderman at his turtle, and not shade
of anxiety is visible on his brow. When his
chop is finished and he has pinched the
little fellows cheek and cOaxed smile, he
rises leisurely and gets into the car, where
our suburban friend has been "setting" for
the last fifteen minutes with an empty
stomach and unstruBg nerves.
Above all things, my dear Phil, what thou
dOest, do it cOOlly and with presence of
mind, for this, more than all else, will man
ifsst that you came of race of gentlemen.
You are about to set out upon your travels,
snd that you viii do no discredit to the fam
lily name is my heartfelt wisb. Never.
Philip, forget that you are Bivins.
