Countrymen.
New York Correspondent Of the Cincinnatti Times)
A few evenings since two rustics, who
had made their first visit to the metropo-
lis, and had very naturally put up at the
Astor House, were examining the hotel
with surprise and delight. They went up
stairs and down stairs-looked into the
breakfast ard dining rooms, the parlors,
the Office, TIE saloon, the barber shop, and
had many words of commentator for
each.
At last, wandering along the corridors,
one of them espied the elevator, the doors
of which were open. "Look here, Joe,n
said he to his friend, "This is nice little
room, but there's no bed in it. l wonder
what it's for.''
Joe's curiosity was aroused. So he
stepped into the elevator, and he and his
companion sat down on one Of the cush-
ioned seats. This is nice," remarked Joe,
"but don't see exactly what it's for. Do
you, Paul?''
While they were trying to find out what
the nice little room was intended for, they
saw to their establishment and terror that
it was going.
"Hallc ~ cried Joe, "what the devil
does this mean? It's runnin' away, Bill.
Whoa whoa whoa r.
"Stop her, stop her." screamed Bill, en-.
deavouring to climb out at the top. "D-n
the internal thing, it's goin' to blow up
Get out Joe, or you'll be killed. And they
both began to climb up the side, but were
unable to escape.
''Confound the luck, this is a wooden
balloon we've got into, Bill. It's going
right up through the roof, sure. When it
gets on top of the house, let's break out
and jump for our lives. Let's watch now
for our chance, old boy, or we're goners."
Still the elevator assembled, and the two
pumpkins sat still with pale faces and COM
pressed lips, as il they were approaching
the rapids of Niagara in an open boat
They evidently anticipated death strug
gle, and were prepared for it.
In few more seconds the elevator STOP
ped. They were about to step out, when
down it went, to the now establishment
and terror Of the bucolic pair.
They then gave themselves up for lost,
and when the elevator reached the first
floor, and they were asked by one of the
servants If they wished to 20 up again,
they stepped into the corridor as though
they had walked out Of their graves.
what the devil is that thing2'' inquir-
ed Joe.
''It's the helevator," replied the serving
man, who, being English, had aspirations
of course.

"Baggsge Smsshers."

"Baggsge smsshers." FL.
A bill to prevent railroad employees
from smashing" baggage is pending be-
fore the Massachusetts Legislature It
reads as follows: u; s-.-,.
"Any baggage master, Ok press agent,
stage driver, hackman, or other persons
whose duty it is to handle, remove, or take
care of the baggage of passengers, who
shall willfully and wantonly injure or des-
troy any trunk, yalise, box, package, or
parcel, while loading, transporting, un>
loading, delivering, or storing the same,
shall be punished by fine not exceeding
fifty dollars, or by imprisonment in Jail
not exceeding two months"
We commend the same subject to the
attention ofour own Legislature, for there
is not little of this wanton destruction
of the property of travellers in this State.
Would that some such bill were passed in
every State in the Union, 90 that man
could be. fined or imprisoned for every
trunk he smashed. If this were the case,
the trunk dealers might not do SO thriv-
ing business rs they now do, but the
comfort and good temper of the travelling
community would be greatly promoted

Weather Predictions for May.
Our venerable Weather CORRESPONDENT

Weather Predictions for May.
Our venerable Weather Correspondent
sends US the following statements:
Thunder and probably hail storms in
divers places at the beginning of tho
month, followed as we approach the 10th,
with fine summer weather lasting few
days-windy and unsettled between the
18th and Goth, then for short time rather
cold for the month of May, when warmer
weather sits in say, soon after the 25th.
High winds or rain, more or less, may
be looked for near the 5th, 9th, 18th, 10Th
and Both.
Now winter il past, and the frost is all gone,
And the day smiles serenely and clear,
And the sky, and the Birds and the rising sun,
Proclaim it the spring of the year.
Sometime since, inserted in the TINES
q few observations on that well known
instrument, the Barometer, as an excellent
prognosticetor of the weather. l will
now give you more simple foretoken in
that small creature, called Leech.
Put leech into large phial, three
parts full of clear rain water, regularly
change the same thrice a week, and let it
stand on q window frame fronting the
north. In fair and frosty weather it will
be motionless, and rolled up in spiral
form, at the bottom Of the glass but
prior to rain or snow, it will creep to the
top, where, if the rain will be heavy, and
of some continuance, it win remain a
considerable time; if triAing, it will de-
descend. Should the rain ,r sncw be
accompanied with wind, it will dart about
its habitation with an amazing celebrity,
and seldom ceases until it begins to blow
hard. If storm of thunder or lightning
be approaching, it will DO exceedingly
agitated, and express its feelings in violent
convulsive starts at the top Of the glass.
1t 10 remarkable, that however, fine and
serene the weather may be, and not the
least indication of change, either from
the sky, the barometer, or any other cause
whatever, yet if the animal ever shifts its
position, or moves in desultory manner,
the coincident results will certainly occur
within thirty-six hours; frequently within
twenty-four, and sometimes in twelve,
though its motions chiefly depend on the
fall and duration of the wet and strength
Of the wind.

Eastman, April 22d, 1869.
1t is useless to say to our older readers
that we are not believers in any animal or
vegetable ideas of future weather or
future state. Our confidence in Muskrats,
corn husks, flights of birds. oraclss, &C.

we ever entertained any such ideas. But
our friend PRor. SHAW, now 50, and once
scientific acquaintance of LORD RossE, is
entitled to great regard, and We publish
his communications with much pleasure,
leaving those who take interest in them to
watch and investigate for themselves.
Some familiarity with the Scriptures enables
us to remember that passage, 1--WE know

We believe. Another passage reads !:
Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof"
This truth We endeavor to practice. That
