A Cool Conductor,
Liberal Reward for flushing Up hcl
Little Mut,er. s=-.
he N.w York Democrat. I

(From the N.w York Democrat.]
1t has been hintcd quite gen
orally that of the hundred and odd
conductors on the Erie railway not
all of them were strictly honest. 1t
has been said that few of them,
on moderate salaries, have, like
members of Congress, succeeded in
saving from ten to thirty thousand
dollars year. Some of them have
built fine houses purchased horses,
carria agcs, fine clothes, fashionable
jewelry, expensive watches, soma
United States bonds and a few
shares in Eric. There arc some men
who arc cruel enough to say this
property has been acquired, not by
honest labor, but With money alb
stractod by sort Ct conductorial
strategy, from the earnings of the
road, and invested by the conduct
ors rather than by the directors.
Not long since, while regulating the
Erie, its branches and all connect
ing railroads in the country, it was
decided, in solemn conelavc, to
regulate the conductors little. -
Everybody said, and everybody
must know. that conductors, like
unruly children when visiting, help
cd themselves. Acting upon this
basis, Manager Fisk lately under
took the job of correcting the evils
existing among tho conductors, or
supposed to exist and, after hay
ing estimated that they had bagged
enough during the last five or six
years to buil q double track over
half the route Of the Erie, decided
to have them disgorge. With this
view notice have been sent, within
the past fortnight, to very many Of
the old conductors oftle road, who
reside at various points Oh the road,
ordering them to report forthwith to
the Superintendent office, on i'm
portant business. The other day,
one of the conductors, whose name
it is not necessary to give here.
who resides in Owego, was called
down, ushurcd into the Supcrin-
tendcnt's office, and from there in
to Manager Fisk's room, when, it is
reported, the following conversation
took place:
Manager-"You arc conductor

it, "Bewarc of Man traps" but a
crowd collected and obliged me to
take it down, as they fancicd it was

neighborhood. My wife, however.
solved the question. 1t was the
great Grecian Bend, the successor
Of hoop skirts, crinolinc and bustles
tho NE PLUS ULTRA Of fashion.
This was about week ago, and now
1 have it in good order all over the
house. Ny wife has it, her daugh-
ters have it, the cook has got it, ,and
even the cat gets her back up with
it occasionally. 1t is the Internal
ist contriyance I ever saw. It won't
fit into anything. It's neither high
church nor low church. The sofa is
too short for it and the chairs are
too straight, and the hall too mar
row for it. It can't sit down nor
stand up-it can't do anything but
Bend. It can't un-Bend either. It
goes all over the house knocking
down tea cups and books, and stools
and tables, and playing the mischief
generally. If it comes in from the
front door it is obliged to &C straight
through the hall into the back gar
den before it can turn round. Some
times it gets stuck in the stairway,
and intercepts all communications
between the upper and lower regions.
Not to mention money, it has cost
me more time aad trouble than any,
thing ever experienced. It's worse
than measels, smallpox and cholera
combined. AS I said before, its the
infernalist contrivance I ever saw.
You can't eat it, you can't drink it
you can't do anything but swear at
it. l don't know how it got into my
family. They say it is hereditary,
and that my wife's mother was
troubled with it. She was, it is true
but have my own private reasons
for believing that she acquired it
over the wash-tub, at three-and-six-
pence per dozen, and l don't think
any of the present generation Of
Kobbs are in danger of catching it
in that way. This is ENTIRE NOUS,
however. We are in society now,
and there is a well-grounded belief
among our acquaintances that my
respected mother-in.law's ancestors

cate this disease from my household
but to no purpose. I have admin
istered pain-killcr, worm candy,
soothing syrup, castor oil, pu,monic
waters, pain paint, and a lot Of other
medicines, but in vain. Ifyou could
suggest anything, Mr.. Editor, that

The GreciaM Bend.

I've got the Grccian Bend at my
house Mr.. Editor. 1t was brought
in late one afternoon from the mil
liners shop in three bones. The
boy who brought it wanted to know
if l would pay for it now or should
he call in the morning. (That boys

teach her son discretion. If she
doen't he'll be carried homo to her

thought I'd examine her purchases.
1t was the most extraordinary con-
glomcration of articles, I ever set
eyes on There were some pieces of
horse hair, five or six pounds of cot
ton batting, lot of corsot-strings,
three or four punches Of steele wire,
and enough whalebone to construct

dozen hoop-skirts and twice as many
chignons. cogitated over it long
and anxiously, but l could arriy at no

to it. At first I fancied my wife
proposed going into tho upholstery

Love And The Seasons,

The rose in the sunshine, dearest,
Is whispering sweet to me;
The fairest things bring nearest
The memory Of thee.
I think of thy voice when thrushcs
Are singing their bridal song,
And violets round the bushes
Spread in purple Thong.
I think Of thee when Nays portal.
(Thc rainbow arch of Heaven)
Seems like glimpse t. mortal. -
Of vanished Eden given.
l think of these when Death scatters
The yellow lea YES in showers,
And the fretful rain-drop patters
In the gay atumnal hours.
I thought of thee, love, when Winter.
Hung crystals on each spray.
Anl when the red oak splinters.
Scared bright grim ghosts away.
l thought Of thee when dark treason
Plotted each wind that blew,
But why detain each season?-
love the whole year through!

A SHARP MERCHANT.
In travelling, passed the night
with a wealthy merchant. His
name on change was q tower Of
strength. He had made his fortune
and was proud of it. He said he
could retire from business if he
would, have 4 fortune for himself to
spend, and settle on his wife and
children. He was very successful,
but very severe. He was account
ed one ofthe shrewdest merchants in
the city. But he had no tender
ness towards debtors. In the day
of his prosperity he was celebrated
for demanding the full tale of brick,
and the full pound Of flesh. n few
months after I passed the night
with him he became bankrupt. His
wealth fled ina day. He had failed
to settle the fortune on his wife and
children, ard they were penniless.
He was treated harshly, and was
sum'marily elected from the institu-
tions over which he presided. He
complained bitterly Of the ingrati-
tudo Of men who almost got down
on their knees to ask favors Of him
when he was prosperous, and who
spurned and reviled him when he
fell. Ifln the day ofhis prosperity he
had been kinder and less exacting.
he might have found friends in the
day Of his adversity. So a'4's s.
