we could see al one glance the whole era
OF The State Of New York, we should see
II cui in every direction with the tracks
marked out for these chained thunderboI,s
10 run upon AT every hour, and every
minute OF the day, and Of the night, we
should see them rushing from point to
point, with the speed Of the lightning, and
crossing the direction of each Others
tracks like cannon balls on field OF battle.
He must he a. fool.hardy man. one
would think. who should dream of riding
such monster. One might as well saddle
bomb she'll. or a Paixhan shot, for the
sake of speed. Suppose some liule store
should &c, wedged upon the track or
some misplaced switch should turn off :;
or pin, the size of finger, should break;
or some one Of len thousand tr,fling acci
dents should happen what would become
Of the lives Of those who had entrusted
themselves TO its care! And yet, during
he last twelve months, no less than e;ght
millions four handred aud Jony-fve Mou-
sand nine hundred and ten persons rode
upon the Railroads OF this Sla:e alone
And out Of this vast number, less than one
hundred lost their lives from Railroad
accidents. The chance observer would
say that this small proportion Of casualties
is even more astounding than The Railroad
itself. And so. indeed, in many Of its
aspects, it is.
And yet, there can be no doubt that
travelling by Railway is the safest mode Of
trdrettng get dtscorered and that. for the
simple reason that it depends. more com
pleteiy than any other, upon .t.eed princii-
pies that can be understood.and Iy agencies
that can be controlled Iy tie intellect Of
man. 4 horse will sometimes run away
he has a will of his own. and his freaks
can not always be foreseen. The Iocomo-
tive has no will-no passion-no lie. but
wha, man gives, and can guide, check,
control. or take away. Everything con.
nected with the Ralroad-the track, the
motive power, the wheels, the cars-every
agency employed abou, it, and everything
on which its movements in any degree de.
pend. cun be distinctly understood and
subjected TO the complete control OF the
presiding intellect. The exact exercise OF
this entire mastery, is all that is necessary
to render Railway trsvelIngepertect!y safe
And the fact that it is exercised with life:
rem, degrees Of fidelity upon different
roads, is what makes one road safer, or
less sale, than another.-N T. Daily

But she who, with 4 smile more bright.
Welcomed and wstched the springing green,

Low IN her grave.
The fair white blossoms Of the wood
In groups bessie the pathway stand;
But one. the grnri. and the good
Who cropped them with fsirer hand,

Low in her grave

A successful business man is a chemical
compound of The intellectual and the phys.
ical. We lay The emphasis on chemical,
because a chemical compound differs
entirely from either IF its ingreiients-it
is not mechanical mean between them,
but new substance. So a successful
business man differs entirely from man
OF mere intellect, a man who has all sor;s
oil sense besides common sense--mlnd
"lthou. any authority over matter. on the
one hand. and from The stupid, unreason-
ing plod the man machine, on the
other. lie Is so different that his success
can not be comPrthended BY either OF the
other.
The lime was when business was Jusi-
ness, and man got along in the world
If he kept active and always al it. But i,
Is so no longer. A man must he reasona-
bly active 10 succeed, now. hut he must be
morc-he must be lhinker-a phIIoso-
pher. The more intellect he can put into
composition with his action the better, and
wilhou, a good deal he is run over, lett
out Of sight, lost.
We are told that, this is an age of MAZE
rialIsm-of physical development. True
enough, but why +? Because ii is an aye
in which The human mind has walked up.
The intellect has put on the harness TO
conquer mailer. We are now in The midst
OF entirely new modes Of efitclng almost
every physical end-of supplying every
corporeal necessity. The old rules and
modes are superceded, not by new rules
and modes, to be conned and committed 10
memory, but by activity o! mind making
its own rules. A man does not now
creep along the shore sailing by the old
known headlands. bu, takes compass,
chronome,er and quadrant on board and
steers his own independent course. shaping
his means to his own end.
This prime necessity Of mind, intellect,
gump,ion, to seize all the new faciIries of
business. is illustrated in nothing better
| than the use which business men make Of
the press. A great part Of the producers,
and almost all the distributors Of goods,
that is,,he manufacturers and merchants
have a capa aci,y Of doing business which
Is only limited by tie circle which circun.
scri6es their notoriety.
They might sell twice as much, and
reap more than twice as much profit, il
they were known twice as far. And the
press gives them the means Of beng known
twice as far. The only trouble is ,ha
they often lack the inleIlec, TO use il
They have not the brains to comprehend
the nature Of the investment. Those who
for example, see the value of 600 letter:

DE HONORABLE DOUGLASS.

Les journanx que nous avons recus
par In MALE d'hier nous ont apporte IN
discours prononce par Honorable Dou-
glass dams une assemble qui eu lieu
Richmond. Nous en- extrayons ce qui
suit
LIE general Pierce s'est engage
CONNIE simple soldat dams Ie regiment
que son Elat formait; il pris un fusil
sur l'epauIe ct un sac sur le dos, ct il au-
sait rernpli ainsi les devoirs que tout
homme doit a son pays natal, 81 ses COM
pagnons ct son gouyernement lui avaient
permis de roster Ia place que sa mo-
destie lui await fait prendre.
Son regiment lie choisit pour colonel.
ct son gouvernement lie fit GENERAL, ct
c'cst sous ce titre quill est connu dams la
guerre du Mexique. Je connais les in
situations meprisabIes I'aide desqueI|es
Ie parti whig voudrait ternir la carriere
militaire dc Franklin Pierce. Mais on
l'attaque avec l'arme des laches. Dams
les Etats du Nord- Quest de l'Union, Ell
je suppose que Ie sentiment des Virgi-
MEMS est Ie meme, nous pensons que
Phomme qui Went avec un franc dement,
a Ia boncte ct tout prepare a en- subir
les consequences, est un homme honora-
BILE, comparativemen: a celui qni a re-
cours aux insinrations, moyen d'autant
plus lache quill est insaisissable ct n'offre
pas de responsabiite. Dependant c'est
avec cctte arme. ct cette arme seuIe,
que le parti ct Ia presse attaquent Ia caf.
riere militaire de Franklin Pierce.
4" II est de fait qua Ia batailIe de Cons
treras, le chevaI quill montait tomba
sous lui, ct il est dc fait aussi que le len
demain, a Cherubusco, epuise par ses
pleasures, par la maladie ct par Ia cha
leur dun soleil tropical, il perdit con-
Nuisance dams les rangs. Ses caIomnia-
teurs insinuent d'abord quill etait tombe
parce quill etait ivre, ct ensuite, quill
s'est evanoui parce quill etait un idche.
Or, je mai qu'une reponse a faire a ces
indignes accusations ct la voic . lie ge-
neral Winfield Scott commandait Par
mAe ct il etc temoin oculaire de Ia con-
duite du general Pierce; ct lie general
Scott temoigne sous Ia solennite du
serment en- favour de sa bravoure efficace
sur Ie champ de batailIe, ct sur le vrai
des fats don't il s'agit. Sous Ia
solennite du serment il a donne un de.
paen,i q ces BASES ct iniames calomnies.
Que tout orateur ou ecrivain whig qui
porte Oh qui porte cette accusation Sc
rappeIIe done que l'hommc qui est main
enant son candidat ct qui est a sa tete
e declare calomniateur ct IL taetriI de re-
,ilhete de nenteur. :" %+
