And-tbe Bard's changing Icamres and brighiening eye attested the'remo- tion which bad been aroused by the memory of fhodream. It was indeed a horrible dream. A long train of glass cars gliding over a >lo»# railway, frieghted with youth, ieauty and music, while on either hand are stretched the victims of yesterday, gliding over tho railway of Habit, to wards a fathomless abyss.

A Kissing Holydajv The English correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser gives the following description of one of the Easier Holvdays, which he passed at a small town in the heart of Stafford shire : ♦'On descending to the little parlor of the inn, on Monday morning.

She offered no apol- ogy. for thus assaulting -me on- the Queen’s highway, but laughed in my face immoderately, and - called, oul, “ Sukey, I’ve got hirai” Oh dear! scarcely bad she spoken, before Sukey, and Bet, and Polly, and a dozen others, sprang into being from invisible places, and 1 was surrounded by a laughing, shouting group of unfeeling, robustious females. - I expostulated and enircaled in vain —I was pulled about, lifted op, and kissed without mercy; till, making a desperate rally, I burst from ;their cm- njured; and a father ought never to be o fond of his children as to fqrget wbat is due to. himself.*' - ; An Interesting Narrative. Beautiful and Affecting Incident. The Paris correspondent, of the St. Louis Republican, in' his letter of the 2d instant, says: A young man recently made his es cape from the galleys at Toulouse. He was strong and vigorous, and soon made his way/across the country and escaped pursuit. He arrived the.next morning before a cottage in an open field r and stopped to beg Something to eat concealment while he*reposed a fittlfe. But he found the inmates of lhe.cottage in the greatest distress.
