SToPp1Ns A aAILRoAD.-The following
anecdote, illustrative ofthe opposition made
by an old lady in New Hampshire to the
running of a railroad on her land, was
lately told at dinner celebrating the open
ing ofthe Vermont Central Road, by Mr.
Samuel Walker director on the Boston
and Maine route, On alluding to the birth
dav Of this road, and particularly to the
opposition Of the New Hampshire folks
which the Company encountered, he said,
lthat-aher they had overcome the men

good widow lady, who owned land on thelf
line, which she refused to sell, hearing that
the teams were coming to cut through, &C.

THE UNFORTUNATE PAIL-BEARER.
AN EVENT IN THE CAMP OF THE BEsEIeED
-4.-Yys ~ a' BRlToNs, l777.
~ Burgoyne's encampment, near Fish
Greek, at Saratoga, was hemmed in upon
oil sides by the indignant American forces,
and no outlet was left whereat the beseiged
could procure the necessaries of life. Fam
inc stared the British soldiery in the face,
and lent all its terrors to unnerve their
stout hearts = sickness attended every couch,
accompanied by fever with its burning
dilerium, and prostrated the officer in his
tent, and the sentinel. on his round. Not
a drop Of water could the suffering army
obtain TO allay their thirst--not morsel
Of food, save the dry and musty camp-bis,
cult, to aid the debilitated and furnished of
Bargoyne's followers in recovering their
health and spirits. Although the rapid
stroam Of Fish.Creek roared sweetly in
the ears Of the sick and desponding forces,
upon the one side of the camp, yet the
swift bullets Of American rifles pierced the
reckless adyepturers who daredstor dip the
fluid FRONT its silver flood; although the Hud-
son with its limpid walers rolled along its
silent channel, upon another, an hundred
balls sped like the lightning's shaft DER its
placid bosom ere one drop could be snatch
cd from its sparkling bed. Numerous to-
~ friends near their camp were ready tc
open their graneries, loaded with grain
and their cellars, filled with the riches
wines. Yel the American army, like

Yield Not.

"The virtue Of adversely is fortitude. ."-Bdcon.
AT all periods of life, we are subject to
reverses and troubles, some Of which we
can partly or wholly obviate by prudent
management, while others are entirely
beyond our control. Schemes plannedwith
the most vigilant care, are frustrated by some
unforeseen casualty. Hopes dear TO their
heart are crushed and blighted; beings that
impart to the soul its purest solace are taken
from us, and the lights that burst so warmly
upon the heart are extinguished. 3
To such, and to many other misfortunes
are we constantly exposed, yet we Should
never forget that all this affiiction is snscepti
