RELIGIOUS Debate.
;. o. SANFORD,
Civil Engineer.

The Theological Discussion, between Messrs.
.Caples and Hopson, came TO a close on Friday
evening last, having occupied five days. 1t was
conducted throughout in the most perfect Chris
tian spirit, and closed in harmony and good will
The friends Of the respective parties appear to
have been perfectly satisfied with the result
The gentlemen themselves have won the esteem
Of the community generally for their Christian
department and the highest respect for their learn
ing and ability. Il is the universal remark that
no similar debate has ever been attended with so
little improper excitement. While the deepest
interest was manifested, not the slightest acri-
nonious feeling was visible at any time during
or since the discussion.-[H Hannibal Courier.

MEASURES, NOT MEN"

Literally, this should in future be the watch
word of the whole Democracy of Missouri, if
they would not continue divided and defeated, as
they have been for the past two years. No cleo
ton is now near at hand TO call forth zeal, activi
ty or organized exertion; there is nothing now
before them to'stir up strife and passion. They
should, therefore. be guided by the experience
of the past, calmly resolve that in future they
will cast from them all care for The chickering's,
jealousies and aspirations Of ambitious men, and
look alone TO the success Of measures and The pre-
eminehce Of principles. Now, while the jude-
meDt is calm and the reason cool, they should all
wherever they be, in forest or in city, in the field
or in the workshop, in the cOuntinghouse or in
the Office, think and reflect upon the duty that is
before them. Let them not lose sigh; Of the
great and important interests at stake, and we
cannot but believe that when the time comes for
action they will be found united and determined
to redeem our State from even the partial domin-
ion Of Wing minority.-[ Mo. Courier.

How TO DO lr.-There is good sense in
the following advice to young men and wo-
men who are thinking ofmatrimony. L: is
from an article by Grant Thorburn, in the
Home Journal:
"There is nothing TO be gained in dang
ling for twelvemontL, after sensible wo-
man, talking meaning stuff-words with
out wisdom. Tell her your wish like man,
and not like blubbering school boy. She
will never triAe with your affections; and il
there are three grains Of common sense in
your n.uckle carcass, she will be your own
before month has passed. See the history
Of Rebecca, in Genesis, Gath chapter, 56th
verse:-When Abrsham's servant had con-
cluded the preliminary contract with Mrs.
Labsn, on the part Of her daughter to be-
come the wife Of Isaac, the old man was
anxious to get home to show his young mas
ter the bonny lass he had brought him; the
mother wished him to remain few days,
to recruit himself and bis camels. He per-
sisting. it was finally referred 10 the daugh-
ter. I'VE will call the damssl, and inquire
at her mouth said the mother. When Re-
bscca appeared, her mother asked, wilt

3D. Width Of track, 90 feet between the ditch
es; bitches 3 to 8 l-2 fee; width on top. depth
] l-2ft.; pIankway feet wide, formed OF inch
plank, resting on longitudinal stringers OF either
4 of3 6 inches or of 3 IL inches; the whole
to be firmly embedded in earth. 1t is moi gen.
orally considered necessary TO use ties, although
have no doubt it would be advantageous TO
place tie crosswise of the road at and under the
joints of the stringers, say every l6 feet, and
pin with wooden pins.
4th. The cost of plank per 1000 feet broad
measures varies from l.2 TO 81 l-2 delivered.
9th. The roads thatshave been made up 10 this
time, both north and south, are over favorable
sections of the country, where but little rock has
been encountered, and the soil sand, clay, grav-
Ell, &c.
9th. The greatest grade that should be used is
about to l6; to 20 is a very good grade.
All the above statements have been made from
memory, as / have not my memorandum book
with me.
7th. The Boydtown road is 75 miles in length,
runs generally over favorable country, with
cuts and fills varying from to feet, except al
the crossing Of streams, where the freshets make
ii necessary to construct higher banks. The con-
tract for the construction of the work is $l935
l-2 per mile.
9Th. II may be stated generally that upon a
plank road the same power would convey twice
- much a. upon turnpike; and three times a,
much as upon common dirt road.
Two horses are all that are used for freight
wagons. These, with one driver, will convey
the same load, as now conveyed over our clay
roads with horses and two drivers, or one dri.
yer and a boy, say 40 ctw. -Four horses convey
20 passengers 10 miles per hour, and are chang.
cd every 10 miles.
9th. The only other fact Of much Importance
in giving general description is that of all the
roads of plank, there is not one which does moi
pay good dividend. They have not been long
enough 10 use however to ascertain with any de.
gree Of exaetness, the annual charge for repairs
It is believed however, by those who have EN-.
barked in them, that they will continue to make
satisfactory returns upon the capital invested,

Discretion.

What an attainment, what q possession
what 3 knowledge of ourselves and Of man
kind does its exercise indicate! To know
how to speak aud act-to know before
whom to speak and sct-how useful how
important, and how necessary its exercise,
in all our intercourse with society, with
one another, snd particularly Ofparenis be-
tore their children. Discretion, if il is
gift, should be priced as treasure; If ac-
quired, the posssssors should be the more
envie1 for its attainment. Often, little
indiscretion on the part Of ths parent may
lead to unhappy reflections. A misbsp may
wound child's sensIbilities, from which Il
may never recover. You may reverse the
action of the most naturally amisble dispo..
sition with sourness and unkiBdhess, and
thus induce peevish, pstulent, unhappy state
of mind and unhealthiness Of body. A duo
exercise of discretion would avert so un-
fortunate a state Of condition.
The evidence of mutual confidence and
attachment are often manifested without q
due exercise Of discretion, aud visit upoa
the confding and unwsry the remarks Of
observers. No class should exercise it more
or learn to hide vsll, than those who are
forming relations for life. 1t should be
taught to their children, both BY example
and precept. How many errors ard folliee
it would save us from committing. Discre-
Ition-it is the ultsm atum offemsle charmes,
and scarcely less in males. 1t is ofprice--
less Value thought within the reach ofmost
yet few possess il eminently.
There is difference between discretion
and caution and cunning. The cautious
are no. always discreet, and the cunning
are not always wise. A nature too conf
ding is not always the most desirable; as it
is apt to suppose every one IS ingenious si
itself. The poet had his eye on discretion
when he said;
"oh. wad some power the gittie gi'us,
To see ourselves as others see US,
1t would from many folly free us.
And foolish notion"
