Excerpt from Hesperos Or, Travels in the West, Vol. 1 of 2 The passengers were principally merchants re turning to New Orleans for the business-season, they were most of them English, with a sprinkling of Americans, and a few Germans. Of the ladies, one was very pretty, but She took to her bed almost immediately, and the upper-deck saw her no more till we reached Boston. Another, with at least equal pretensions to good looks, was under going a course of snubbing from her husband - an Englishman, go no sans dire, for no other husbands in the world have the bad taste to aficher their domestic tragedies in public - and generally left the table, when the meal was half over, in ¿oods of tears. Poor little woman! Every one pities her, and I often wonder whether She will become accustomed to it, or Sink under the in¿iction. This ill-matched pair are going to settle in Canada, the situation in life of all others where congeniality of soul and a happy temperament ar'e most needed.
