FIDELITY Never forsake friend when en-
emies gather thick around him-when sickness
falls heavy upon him-when the world is dark
and cherries, this is the time to try thy friend
ship. They who turn from the scene of dis.
tress. or offer reasons why they should be ex-
cused from extending their sympathy and aid,
betray their hypocrisy, and prove that selfish
motives only prompt and move them. If you
have friend who loves you-who has studied
your interest and happiness, defended you when
prosecuted and troubled, be sure to sustain him
in adversely Let him feel that his kindness is
appreciated, and that his friendship was not
bestowed upon you in vain.

SUDDEN REVERSE OF FoRTuNE.-A few days

phia, man fell dead of disease of the heart
His name was John Aspden. and he was one of
the English claimants Of the immense estate
left by Matthias Aspden. Before the case was
decided by the Supreme Court in favor of the
American heirs, the latter proposed to compro-
mise the matter, and offered the deceased $780,
600 to relinquish his claim, which he refused
The decision of the Court cut him off without
farthing. The very day he died the estate
was divided among the heirs at law and NOR
tifcation and disappointment are supposed to
have brought on the disease which carried him
so suddenly from the world. One solitary

From the daily working Of model engine

seems to be very generally agreed that this IN
vention is destined 10 work : wonderful change
in RAILROADS. 1t Is the plan Of James g. French,
of Virginia, by which using the driving axle Of
the engine for fulcrum, he gives to the en-
gine unlimited adhesion and graduates the re-
quired quantity TO pound. The facility with
which this is produced. or entirely thrown OF,
the engine then differing in no way from those
on the common plan, is the great feature Of the
invention and the means b. which it is done
is among the most simple of all mechanical con
trivances. The effective present locomotive
engine is limited BY its weight: on Mr.. Frtnch's
plan it is limited by its capacity to generate
steam. and is always ready to work up TO that
capacity. Possessing certain supply of adhe-
sion at all times, and it being almost impossi-
bic for the machinery TO get of the track, it
not only renders practical, certain, and easy,
the working Of grades never before thought OF.
but must lead TO the Introduction Of far cheaper
roads, and far lighter machinery, even to rail-

This invention is conceded to be entirely ori-
ginal and is remarkable for its simplicity. It
meets with great favor, and attracts great at
tention. The most practical and scientific men
in both houses Of Congress have pronounced
in its favor, the practical men Of the North
were the first TO give in their unqualified ap-
probation. f5....., Id ,.....l-s
We were prepared for this for more than
three years ago, before any experiments had
been made an article appeared in the Union re-
garding this invention, and then claimed for
it what il has since so satisfactorily accomplish
ed. Its success is no longer an experiment.
The working of The road near Richmond, on Q
practical scale. is proof Of this, as may be seen
by the valuable report of The committee Of The
legislature appointed to examine tia report
the more valuable because it states facts, leay-
ing each one to draw his own conclusion. In
view Of the great outlay now contemplated by
the Government for road to the Pacific, q
working road on this plan ought to be at once
laid down here at the Capitol, that all may see
it-say from the Potomac to the Capitol-and
use it for hauling the materials for the Capitol;
or locate it anywhere else where it can be full
ly tried. II, as now seems beyond all doubt,
it should continue to work WELL II must control
in great degree the building Of that road, for
it not only saves in expenditure, but also in
time Wash Union. 70

SPUNKY GtRLs-Three young ladies residing
ing in Wayne county, N. Y, belonging to the
Temperance and Bloomer Society, was invited
last week by a couple of young gentlemen to
accompany them in an evening sleigh-ride
They consented, with proviso that they were
not to be taken to any tavern where liquor was
sold. The vehicle was accordingly driven up,
and the ladies imagined that their wishes were
complied with. After drive Of FIVE or six
miles, the sleigh halted at public house where
liquor was sold. One of the ladies requested
the barkeeper not to sell the party any liquor.
This was not needed. The three ladies then
called for private room and supper, refusing
to return home with their drivers, remained all
night, and next morning walked home, dis
ance of nearly six miles.
