Alongside of the black baggage is a sad pile of hair trunks, each numbered conspicuously. Next to those is a suggestive row of emigrants’ chests. Among the blue and yellow slipping pasters, put on in Sweden, Helland, Germany, Franec, Norway, and England, shines the big white card of the Central road, with the registered number painted conspicuously nit. These chests have all been entered, efiant of locksmiths as they look, and their strange and fanciful, their valuable and their worthless contents noted and subjected to inquiry to reveal their owners’? names. Gold and silver coin are in some—heirloems, keepsakes, love-letters, kitchen utensils, everything that aa emigrant from the old world to the new can possibly take and possibly keep in a chest is there. The record of is all is also there, on the register. Way off in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin men and women of Scandinavian extraction speak feelingly how ef the losses of those chests. Their blue eyes doubtless have moistened at the recollection of their enclosed household wealth, such time as the circumstances of their poor homes in the wilderness straightened them for the want of that baggage, “‘lost and unclaimed,” upon the great Central railroad.

Crimea. betsy oo Hicu Forenkaps.—The notion that high foreheads, ia women as well as in men, are int dispensable to beauty, came into vogue with phrenology, and is going out with the decline of that pretentious and plausible science, Not long ago, more than. one “ fine lady’”’ shaved her head to give it an intellectual appearance, and the custom of combing the hair back from the forehead probably originated in the same mistaken ambition. When it is considered that a great expansé of forehead gives a. bold, masculine look--that from froris (forehead) comes the word “ effrontery’--it will not be wondered that the ancient painters, sculptors, ard poets, considered.a low forehead . a charming thing in women, and, indeed, in dispensable to female beauty. Horace praises Lycoris for her low forehead (tenuis frons) and Martial commends the same grace as decidedly as he praises the arched eyebrow. ‘The artists . in stone and pigments know very well that modesty and gentleness could not be to consist with tall heads or extremely broad ones; and, accordingly, without a single notable excep. tion, their wemen--unless made on purpose to . represeut shrews and the coarser class of cyp. . rians, have low foreheads. But nature, a/ higher authority, has distinguished the fairest of the sex in the same way; and foolishly per; verse are they who would make themsclyes . auew in the hope of improvement. ee &@~ The Boston Zimes has the following : A few days ago a youngster some six or soven . years of age, stepped into Dr. Fred. Brown’s . store,‘and asked Dr. Withington for a first rate cigar. “Do you smoke, Tommy ?”> inquired the Doctor. ‘Now. and. then,” was . the reply: “Fotks all well, Tommy?” “So. so-ish, pretty comfortable.” “I saw your} mother the other day ; she was dréssed in deep ; mourning. Who is that for, Tommy ???Wh 14 you know father has been very sick?” “Yes, . but bless me, he ain't dead, is he?” “Dead ?. no! He’s got nearly well; and mother was so disappointed she put on mourning, and says . Doctor, that’s all in a pig’s eye. You don’t . want to step over to. Young's. and moisten the aliméntary, do you?” “No.” “ Well, Péank Young’s a perfect tramp, I guess I'll go and see him, Good morning, Doctor.” <a Parers axp Booxs.—W. C. Bryant, . . the American poet, speaking of newspa-. pers, said :—‘Beoks are the precious metals in masses—newspapers coin them . ‘for general uso, put them into the most . convenient. forms, and pass them from . hand to hand.” Newspapers,” he said, . “are the ushers ef books. Who would know when a book is published but for ; the friendiv information of. the newspa-. per:” He added, ‘that he had been sometimes tempted to regret that the wise, -witty.or eloquent things which appeared ‘in these ‘ folios of four pages,’ as they! weré called by Cowper, should not be inseribed on more durable tablets, instead of going, the next morning to wrap parcels or light kitchen fires; but he was fully satisfied with their fate, when he roflected that -they had been read by thousands, and whatever. was good in. them had passed into the general mind.” $e Ba A correspondent of the. Boston Transcript complains of the imperative . style of advertisements now issued, ¢ . says that he is tald to “Read Amy Lee” — “Visit Oak Hall”—“Take Smithkin’s Bitters,” &c., and desires it to be understeod that he will do nothing of the kind. . One morning he found that somebody had . painted on the front of his-dwelling :— “We all take James’ Live: Pills: and Drspeptie Syrup.” SLE an awe oe WHOLE NO. 298 Castine or tHe Equesrrtan Status .

Tre vast Suiiixc.—While Martin the painter was unknown and engaged un his first great work, his means were so ¢> ‘hausted that he was one day reduced ts his last shilling : and this shilling he had kept for some time because it was 4 brigh: one. With it he went to a baker’s sho; to buy a loaf of bread. The loaf was purchased, the last. shilling paid and the change about to be handed to the artist when the baker snatched the loaf frow the starving man and gaye him: back his shilling because it was a counterfeit ! Martin, however, was not utterly brok: own. He went to his humble lodging, and having at the, bottom of his trunk found some crusts of bread, with. which he sustained his existence, he set to work again at his picture. He struggled on till the picture was fiuished-and exhibited, and in less than a week after its exhibition he was famous. The picture was “‘Belshazzar’s Feast; or, Joshua commanding the sun to stand still.” > Catirornra Styte.—Not long since a German was riding along Sansome street near Sacramento, when he heard a pisto} shot behind him, heard the whizzing of '2 ball.near him, and felt hig hat shaken. He turned and saw a man with a reyelver in his hand, and took off his hat and found a fresh bullet hole in it. “Did you shoot at me?” asked tho German. et “Yes,” replied the other party; “that is my horse; it was stolen frem me recently.” ‘You must be mistaken,” said the German, “I have owned the horse to: three years.” ““Well,”? says the other, “when I comx to look at him, I believe I am mistaken Excuse me, sir; won’t youtake a drink:”” The rider dismounted and tied his hors¢ the two found a drinking saloon near by they hob-nobbed and drank together, and parted friends: That is the California fashion of makiye acquaintance.— Phila . delphia paper. ne A boy is very miseellaneons ia his habits.

It will come from that station, after waiting five days for its owner, to Albany, bearing a large eard upon it inseribod, “New York Central Railroad Unclaimed Baggage. Left at Pembroke July-4,1855. For Stray Baggage Room,, Albany.” This room is under care of a clerk and porter specially asssigned to the duty. That Pembroke astray is taken to it and immediately numbered.

Its color and general external eharacter were noted at the time the number was entered. If russet, the trunk is then placed on top of a pile of russet baggage, solemnly Waiting ownership in a large store room ; if black, it is added to a pile of dusky baggage, over which hands have been wrung and tears shed—say rather over the images and remembrances of which, for those trunks were not, when linen, silk, and dimity were wanted from within their recesses. Alongside of the black baggage is a sad pile of hair trunks, each numbered conspicuously. Next to those is a suggestive row of emigrants’ chests. Among the blue and yellow slipping pasters, put on in Sweden, Helland, Germany, Franec, Norway, and England, shines the big white card of the Central road, with the registered number painted conspicuously nit. These chests have all been entered, efiant of locksmiths as they look, and their strange and fanciful, their valuable and their worthless contents noted and subjected to inquiry to reveal their owners’? names. Gold and silver coin are in some—heirloems, keepsakes, love-letters, kitchen utensils, everything that aa emigrant from the old world to the new can possibly take and possibly keep in a chest is there. The record of is all is also there, on the register. Way off in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin men and women of Scandinavian extraction speak feelingly how ef the losses of those chests. Their blue eyes doubtless have moistened at the recollection of their enclosed household wealth, such time as the circumstances of their poor homes in the wilderness straightened them for the want of that baggage, “‘lost and unclaimed,” upon the great Central railroad.

When it is considered that a great expansé of forehead gives a. bold, masculine look--that from froris (forehead) comes the word “ effrontery’--it will not be wondered that the ancient painters, sculptors, ard poets, considered.a low forehead . a charming thing in women, and, indeed, in dispensable to female beauty. Horace praises Lycoris for her low forehead (tenuis frons) and Martial commends the same grace as decidedly as he praises the arched eyebrow. ‘The artists . in stone and pigments know very well that modesty and gentleness could not be to consist with tall heads or extremely broad ones; and, accordingly, without a single notable excep. tion, their wemen--unless made on purpose to . represeut shrews and the coarser class of cyp. . rians, have low foreheads. But nature, a/ higher authority, has distinguished the fairest of the sex in the same way; and foolishly per; verse are they who would make themsclyes . auew in the hope of improvement. ee &@~ The Boston Zimes has the following : A few days ago a youngster some six or soven . years of age, stepped into Dr. Fred.

Who is that for, Tommy ???Wh 14 you know father has been very sick?” “Yes, . but bless me, he ain't dead, is he?” “Dead ?. no! He’s got nearly well; and mother was so disappointed she put on mourning, and says . Doctor, that’s all in a pig’s eye. You don’t . want to step over to.
