"A RUNAWAY LoconoTivE-A catssiro.
phe, which it is fearful to contemplate,
was recently averscd in London ry the
aid OF The telegraph. A sollision lad &C.
Cured to an empty railroad train at
Grav'send. and The driver having l.aped
from his engine, the latter started sne
full speed tor london. Notice w.s i'm.
mediateIy given By telegraph to London
and ether statIsrs; and, while the lin,
was kept clear, an engine aud ether ar
engagements were prepated as buttres.
TO receive the runaway. The superin
tendent of the railway also started down
the line on an engine, and on passing
the runaway he reversed Ais engine and
had it transferred at the next crossing TO
the up line, so as to be in the chase, and
on overla king the ether he raa into it at
full speed, and the driver of the engine
took possession Of the fugitive, and all
danger was at an end. Twelve stations
were passed in safety. 1t passed Wool
witch at stteen miles an hour, and was
within a couple of miles of London when
it was arrested.

1rE:-Mn rejoice when the sun IS
risen; they rejoice when It goes down,
while they are unconscious It the decay
ct their own lives Men rejoice at seeing
the face OF new season, AZ dc arrival OF
one greatly desired. Nevertheless, ths
revolution Of seasons Is the decay of human
lite. Fragments of drift wood meeting in
the WIDE ocean, continue togetlrra little
space; thus parents, wives, children, rela-
tiVts, trends and Riches, remain with us
tor short time--then separate. and the
separation is inevitable. No mortal can
escape toe common lot; he who mourns
Tor departed relatives has no power to Cause
them to return. One standing on the road
would say TO number Of persons passing
by, l follow you. Why, then, should a
person sri-ve when journeying the same
road, which has been assuredly trod-
den by by his ioreiahers! Life resembles
a cataract rushing down with irresistible
'mpetuosity. Knowing the end of lils is
death, every right-minded msu ought to
pursue thai which ia connectsd with ulti-
mate bliss.

Fair IN September. says:
''Be assured that nothing would aifir'l

Law AGAINST ToBAcco.-A correspon-
dent asks how ii would do to have law
against the use Of tobacco! We think it
would not do at all. The use OF tobacco
is very disgusting, but it is no business of
The State to regulate manners. 1t i, very
filthy, but the majority of chewers, snuff
iers, NC, keep their expectations with
IN some sort OF bounds, and cannot be ar
ralgned before a public tribunal for an Of
fence against good taste which does not
necessarily injure others. True, fine
and delicate woman ought not to be chain
ed IN matrimony to a chewer, nor even to
q smoker, but those who have sense will
look out for tins before marriage, and
those who have not will play the fool
some other way il not in this.

This article is now universally acknowledged to he the
most healing and different application for diseased or decay
ing lungs, or any portion of the feshy or muscular, parts Of
the human body. Its medicinal and preservative qualities
were understood by the Egyptians in the early ages of the
world. and no doubt now exists among scientific men, that
the preparation Used in the embalmment of bodies, was
composed principally of this ingredient. In later ages, it
was found to be in universal use among the aboriginics of
America. and at this day it is their principal, and, in fact,
only medicine for an =unsound state OF the lungs, or any APP
proach to it. Those who are acquainted with the history of
this hardy race of men, know that a death from Consunp-
ton is unknown umong Them. The medical faculty in all

properties ofthis article, and are now introducing it into
their practice. DR.. Buchan of England. DR.. Creighton of st
