A PREDIcAMENT AND AN EscAPE-All who have
been over the Connecticut river railroad remember
the high, narrow, uncovered bridge over the Deer
field river, just this side of Greenfield 1t was the
theatre of what heading describes, as the after
noon train came down on Saturday. The cars, be-
hind time, were pushing rapidly ahead, and foot
man found himself near the middle of the bridge as
they approached with lightning speed. He could
not get off the bridge at either end before they would
be upon him-the space at the side of the track
too narrow, and sloped too precpitatey to make it
safe resort-the jump to the ice below even Sam
Patch would have shrunk from-the shrill alarm of
the laundering engine warned our hero that he must
think and act quick there trough-like space
under the track-he dove into it between the rails,
and hugging his narrow retreat, the train swept
yer him and left him unframed But what must
have been his emotions between the discovery of his
danger and its passage! How thought must have
quckened and the blood chilled Not all in his
situation would have had the presence Of mind that
secured the only safe retreat left him.

EnquisitiVe Love.

The lamp! the lamp! whose fatal ray
To Psyche's gaze revealed
The hidden charm, for many day,
By cautious love concealed.
The drop-the scalding drop, that broke
Young Cupid's blisstul trance,
AS, starting from sweet dreams, he woke
To curious Beauty's glance.
Oh! these but image forth how small
The cause may rend in twain
The bonds that hold our hearts in thrall,
In Loves capricious reign.
That lamp may be the eye to seek
For virtues too austere;-
That drop, in sullen flow bespeak
The disappointed tear.
That lamp may send its searching light
Too deep into the breast,
Revealing there. to dubious sight,
Transgressions long at rest.
That drop may fall on faults displayed,
Not mefcy's gentle dew;
But shed in anger, to upbraid,
And give them strength anew.
That lamp may lack the kindly screen,
Our Jealous vision needs;
That drop but make the smart more keen
Where human frailty bleeds
Then lamp, and drop, and classic tale,
This moral well may bear
Ger Loves light sins cast Loves own veil,
Nor scan his form too near;

The Great Britain Steamship.

This magnificent and mammoth monument, as
well of private enterprise as of maratlme skill,
takes her departure from New York tomorrow.
with full freight and large number of passen-
gers. To the critical eye OF the commisseur, her
nocturnal adventure some three years since. on the
rocky coast of Ireland, has left no visible marks
of damage sustained on that unfortunate occasion.
The Great Britain is in fact as great ever; her
original bulk is unbroken, and is essentially the
same wonder that used to attract thousands to her
wharf on her first visit to this port. Her gigantic
hull strong as iron can make 1t, the exquisite
symmetry ofher build, together with the trigate-
like look of her general rig, are every day objects
of encomum among men of taste in such matters.
She is not only the largest steamer afioat, but we
believe the greatest vessel in point of dimensions
that this generation can boast. There is no line
of-battle ship in the navies OF Eng land the Uni
ted States that her equal In this respect: with
a measurement of 5000 tons, she afford 'an-
pe room and verge enough" for the ponderous
vet cock-like machinery, the most striking feat
ures of which are six immense boilers and that
huge screw at the stern. which drives the noble
fabric through the water at great speed and still
have space enough for the comfortable accommo-
dation of suficiency OF passengers to constitute
a respectable village "out west" We conceive
it impossible to destroy vessel of this descrip-
ton by fire. 1t is iron here, iron there, iron
every where-the null, the deck, the cross beams
go where you will forward or abaft above or
below, nothing but metal meets the eye or is trod-
den upon.
And. to make assurance doubly sure, there is
powerful fire engine on board, (the one exhibited
in the Crystal Palace,) with hose reaching from
bow to stern; and fire annihilators are always in
reserve. Under full headway, with steam and
her $4,000 yards of canvass spread upon her four
masts, the Great Britain is sight well worth see
ing and at distance has all the appearance of an
ordinary fleet under full sail AS to her interior
fitting up, every thing seems to have been done
in that good taste, elegance, that an eye to the
comfort of passengers could possibly suggest
Nearly all the main deck is devoted to state
rooms, and on either side forward, ladies' boudoirs
are arranged with every convenience. In the
extreme stern is a superb lounging room, from
which two staircases ascend to the main deck
The means for lighting and ventilating the pas
sages is most admirable Baths there are in plen-
ty; in short every comfort one is accustomed to
find only at frst-class hotel. The grand saloon
is perfect picture gallery, tastefully decorated
with paintings on glass, and the armorial bearings
of all nations. Over the saloon, surrounded by
an iron railing, is promenade over three hun
dred feet in length, while the deck below affords
safe and sheltered walk in bad weather. This is
but casual glance at the innumerable objects
that challenge admiration as one journeys through
this floating wonder. ~ Y. Erening Post.

,rsr to re-elect our present patriotic and worthy
Gus,por by handsome majority, and if he should

f., legislature is concerned, it is equally clear that
hare ouIy 10 unite and put forth our strength in

n,ra forward as one man to victory. If candidates
not GU, in all the Counties, let our friends see to

,s all localities may have an opportunity of hear
ny from the stump sound Democratic truths, and of
nnn, for themselves as to the real difference be-
tween Democracy and Federalism. The signs were
usrr more auspicious than they are at present.
There is tide " just now in the "affairs of y
Se, which taken at the flood, must lead on to
htune.'
Gov Reid is aboring in behalf of the principles
his party with zeal, fidelity, and ability which
must attach his friends more closely to him, while
lis positions on State affairs are such as to command
respect and approval of the people in all sections
Sail such Governor, such a champion of popular
i.hs, such patriot and friend of the masses be
stricken down! Never!
Let US then rally in all quarters tor both the Gov
and the Legislature, and resolse to triumph, as
Es must and will, provided We do our duty.
