would reach some other persons dsstina-
tiOn-the fOrlorn bachelor find himself pos
sessed of half dozen Saratoga trunks,
while some fair lady sighed helpIessIy over
a solitary, weathsr-beaten valise. But SIT
down in the vel-kept room for weary
travellers. You see, in the untiring kind
ness of those in authority here, why the
: feeblest woman or veriest child can safely
''chanee cars at Indianapolis. 1t would
be well if certain surly one at the Queen
City depot, who had answered that ques-
ton hundred times in the last five min
utes, would cOnsSovessEa learn to reply to
''said" query the one hundred and ssonethp
time, with as kind smile as saw upon
the lips of gentleman who repeated again
and again, 'Leaves at 1856. I win tell you
when the time comes.
1 hold the generality of railroad officials
second in the art of giving curt answers
to reasonable interrogations. But first in
this line, we must ever remember and ac-
knowledge the School Examiner. With due
Difference, let me say, that have no old or
personal grudge against this last-named
august and happy class. But never sat
under the shadow of their mighty presence
without having them to insult, either by
contemptuous silence or gruf words, ladies'
and gentlemen as good as they by birth,
and (perhaps) far better in daily walk At
least, they evidenced better bringing up,
and more innate refinement.
Well, what have School Examiners to do
with letter about the Indians Capitol?
Nothing at all, sincerely hope, but 1 can
not yet leave the dear creatures without
entreating them to be better children.
Keep your hais combed; keep your faces
clean; don't ''pout out" your lips or con-
tract your brows If there must be reac-
ton, scolding and abuse, let it be in the
bosom of your family. As apublic servant,
you are well paid for keeping your temper.
"And now FAREWELL IT'S hard to give thee up"
Strange as il may seem to the reader,
this affectionats address is after all no di-
gression, for it brings us ''direct" to the
schools of Indianapolis, which are said to be
numerous, and as well conducted as any in
the Union.
If Brooklyn had not already won the dis
tinction, this might appropriately be styled,
1.-THE City of Churches. You find them
everywhere; one cannot help noticing their
great number-large, handsome edi6ces,
with lofty spires. One, in particular, has
attracted my attention; a stone church,
strangely and wierdly built, and around
the windows ivy has grown and interlaced
till one side of the stone work is nearly
hiddef from view. .,t...,.s-.. -..
Last Sabbath May 2lth) Rev. DR.. Nay
lor, Pastor of Meridian st. NJ. E. Church,
preached sermon which held his audience
spell-bound. 1t was indeed fine oratory,
and added to this, he told of that which
many modern lecturers" misnamed
ministers, have seemingly forgotten
Christ. His text was, 'For I am jealous
over you with godly jealousy, for have
espoused you to one husband, that 1 may
present you as a chaste virgin to Christ
But fear, lest by any means, as the SER
psnt beguiled Eve through bis subtilty, so
your mind should be corrupted from the
simplicity that is in Christ"
Walking, or rather hurrying along Mer-
idian or Washington Street, you realize
that you are in the heart of great City.
Every one rushes on, with an air peculiar
to business men, which seems to say, ''I1l
get there as quick as possible. It's my
positive intention to see to this if the world
stopsl" Here is the din and heat of our
Eastern cities, but not much of their dust.
Walk on. Presently you find homes for
all this surging tide of humanity. While
here, you feel constantly that you must be
in the suburbs; the streets wide and clean,
the houses airy, and the yards beautifully
green. Shade trees are common, giving
the scene picturesque and ''truly rooraP
appearance But your tired feet convince
you of your error, for you have walked
miles, and still as far as the eye can discern,
the city is around you, and it is constantly
and rapidly growing.

many hammers; cottages are springing up
in day. The demand for homes is great

to make them equal. Selfish Greed, that

The new Court House, which has al

need another for its completion, beggars
