Preyenter Cars.

There should be no such things as rail
road collisions. There is no excuse fol
them. Il conductors and engineers would
vigorously adhere 10 proper time tables
and if every road were properly policed
by sufficient number of men to thorough
ly watch the track, collisions would BE-
nearly impossible. But If, it is the pur-
pose of railroad managers and engineers
to continue to run trains hap hazard, as Of
late, we suggest that two, or three, or four
preventer cars be placed on the train be-
tween the baggage and passenger cars.
They might be stoutly constructed, and
by means Of stufiing Of cotton, or the
use of India rubber or some other elastic
substance, be made perfect profession to
the passengers in cases like the fatal cat.
astrophe near Chicago. or the more recent
deplorablc plunge at Norwalk. 1t would
have been far better to have had two or
three cars filed with cotton or wool hurled
into that frightful vortex at the Norwalk
draw, than to have had that iously
freighted train precipitated into the chasm
in che awful manner we have seen.
We are not aware of any practical oh.
lection to our suggestion. 1t is already
half carried out; for we hear that since
he disaster, the first car on the New Ha.
zen road is neatly or quite deserted. ~

COOP MEN MOT ALWAYS THE MosT For
TUNATE.- Good men are not always, o.
often, the most fortunate. Look into an,
community, and you will be satisfied that
so far as houses and lands and such things
60, the best men are the worst off, The
man who has cheated all his life may have
money, while the honest merchant may
have been made bankrupt. Ignorant and
goddess creature of fashion lives in the
midst of luxuries which only injure him.
while under his windows young man of
genius and pity enough to regenerate Il
city, is wearing out his life in labors which
a hundredth part Of the yearly income of
his neighbor would relieve.
Many murmur and many are amazed at
this. Many degrade religion to trade
between the Creator and His creatures.--
Upon their part their is to be obedience
upon His the gift of the good things of
the world. Goodness is thus degraded to
working for wages, and securing re.
ward both here and hereafter. The mis-
chief this mistaken view works is incalcu.
liable. II is not only mischievous, but
false also. God does SO reward goodness.
His dealings favor no! the merchantie idea
OF religion. When the love of truth and
the love Of goodness are awaked and cher
ished in the soul, God sends, sometimes
indeed, outward prosperity. but always an
increase of light and wisdom and virtue,
and either inward peace or rest, or that
which is better than peace. an Unsuitable
onging after higher excellence. Such u
soul dwclls in a new world-a world in
which God. duty, immortality, not money,
equation. and pleasure, are the relative.
Must God give such one in recompenae
or virtue meat and drink, lands and mer-
Virtue is its own reward. He
who has it has more than the world can
,'ve-God and good spirits, and noble
thoughts. and high aims, and gentle af-
sctlons for his companions.

Wednesday last, he accidently fell into the

MARTYR HEROfHE.--It is stated in
The New York Times that report had
just reached the Hungarians in that city,
through various private hands, of an
event outreaching and yet known of Aus
tran cold-b'ooded, judicial tyranny. Dur
ins the spring of 1861. tvo years after
the revolution, and in the midst of the
qu'eto slavery, all Hungary was aroused
by the news, that II young and distinguish.
ed young lady had been suddenly arrest
ed, the Countess Blanca Telvk. She was
hlgh.born, of one Of the oldest families of
HuDgary-.a family beloved for its many
brave deeds Of heroic patriotism. She
had been owner of large estate--- but,
though of the aristocratic order, none
loved her better than the peasantry.
They all knew her as the friend of the
poor. And in many rural districts, the
Sunday Schools and schools for the lower
classes owe their origin entirely to the
self-sacrlfcing labors of this lady. sus-
pcion had nsver breatled upon her name.
She loved Hungary. and she was wo.
maa of herpc spirit, These were sup
posed to be the reasons of her arrest.---
The charge against her was, that she was
in correspondence with kossuth and Maz.
Snl. On one, even there, supposed the
Government would dare to 'njure her, or
hold her long. The news now is, that in
'hese fist spring days. the young Coun-
ess Teleki was privately executed in her
'rlson-.- probably that Of Gros Warden.
