A JUsT COMPLIMENT We take the fol-
lowing article, complimentary to Messrs.
WonpwARD g. SroUoHToN. from the Circle
Vile Herald:
C. w. g. z RAILRoAD-Ls Enqineers.--
II is, we believe, admitted on all hands that
the work on this Road has been pushed with
great energy, and as rapidly as possible
that generally II has been we'll done-th tha,
the Road has been located upon the best
route, without reference TO local Interest,"
The road has as good grade ns any in the
State and will, when ished, be in all re-
sp cts n first Glass Road.
The public has awarded great credit TO
the Directors aud contr ctors, all of which
they well deserved; but for all the exceIlen
legations to our Chiei Engineer, Mr.. Wood
ward. The Board of Directors have from
the beg nning had great confidence in Mr..
Woodward, and his judgment has beeo
consulted in regard to every important ques-
ton connected with the Road.
Mr.. Woodward is one Of the most active
and industrious men we ever knew; he has
worked night and day, and exposed himself
to all incemeucies of weather. He has
had no pets or favorites on the Road, bu
has, we believe, when left to his own judg-
ment, Always acted with sole re erence to
the interests of the Road. Heis energetic
sober, moral, and man of courteous and
polite address. We were much pleased ON
first learning ofhis appointment as Super
intendent of the Road.
Mr. Stough,on, the Second Engineer, is
also young gentleman Of excellent char
acter and high standing il HIS profession,
and enjoys the full confidence OF the Board
aud of the public. Indeed the entire corps
of Assistants under Mr.. Woodward are
young men of excellent ep.,tation ant
promise in their profession.

TIE New HAMrsHrRE ELECTToN.-To
break the effect produced by the re-
suit of the New Hampshire election, the Lo-
cnfoco "Pa,rin,"at Concord has "trumped
up"u table of the politics Of the members OF
The Lcgisla,ur elected, by which n majority
Of some sixteen is secured for Pierce and the
Nebraska bill. 1t eau very well be under
stood uhv the figures, contrary to their
usual supposed attributes have thus been
made to lie The pointed and promot re-
buke which was administered to the Presi-
dent by the verdict against the Nebraska
Bill, found by the people of New Hamp-
shire, could not hut have had controlling
Influence in defeating that bill in tho House
NOT to speak of the awkward predicament
in which it placed the President himself.
To have his own State thus arraved a.
gainst him-setting an example Of insubor
dination to other democratic s ates, and So
stimulating any opposition to the bill which
might be fel among the party at the North
was condition of things hardly to be endur-
ed. And hence the attempt to break so bad
a fall as was produced by the ballots of the
people of the "Granite State
But the trick will not serve its purpose. II
dose not "win." The people see thr ugh
it-and the L6coroco Nebraska papers af
ter making feeble attempt to crowd it upon
the party as fair representation of the real
condition of things in New Hampshire,
give it up in despair.
The Concord Independent Democrat

showing their lal.ity, thus concludes its ar
ticle:
"What, then, becomes Of the boosted ma
iority which that paper claims! 1t ID all

side. But this calculation does not begin
to show the utter discontinue which has
overtrkpn the Patriot and the Administru-

wise opposed to that scheme Of nfumy."
or The Washington Star denies thai
FoRNEY is about to resign the Gle ship o
the House. Washington letter writers
intimate that he will be driven to resign by
his exrem" unpopularty with many of tn.
members. Aside from the consideration OF
his personal popularity, his pecuniarI
connection with the official paper--the nd
justment of VIII ose accounts for very large
sums is devolved upon the Clerk, as the Au
ditor Of the House--should Of itself work
! disquo liication for Office. The most scra
pulous discharge OF duty might not protpc
him from unworthy imputation; apd righ
minded man would hardly coussnt to occu
py position wherein he would be callet
upon officially upon his o,Rn acccunts.--O. S

SABBATH READING.

He wRST ABOUT DOING oGOop.--Thisi is the
simple but deeply expressive phrase in
which the iifs Of ocr Lard Jesus Christ Is
set tO:th. There are many IDEAS among
men about doing good. Some arc willing 10
do good. but the triaIng occasions offered ia
every day life are too small for their notice.
They wish to do good on large scale; and
as they have not the ability or no favorable
opportunity offers, they do nothing. These
men are mere dreamers Of llfs's responsible
iiies and duties. Ths man that is unwilling
10 do the small COED within his reach woa!I
be no better disposed for more important
things. Never neglect 40 opportunity for
good because 1t is email. Life is sum Of
triaes.

In truth these little matters are far from
being triaes II we reckon BY their resnlts.
Some persons are willing to DO good when
Sn opportunity offers, but they put them
selves to no trouble to seek out the SORROW
ful and the distressed. Indeed many would
rather give money to beggar TO get rid Of
him, than make the effort TO inquire wheth.
er they are not wasting it upon an impOs-
tor. This Is not true benevolence: it is
selfshness. I, is Swing themselves the ef-
fort. which true charity would make to with
hold encouragement from falsehood and to
bless the needy. Christ ,oent about doing
good. He did not wait for opportunities TO
come 10 him. And little reflection may
convince US that the most worthy objects of
charity are those we must seek out. Some
times through sickness or,otherwise, they
cannot possibly comesandf if we DO not seek
them out. they must perish. Sometimes
through modesty the most deserving per-
sons would rather suffer than beg. True
bensvolence GOES ABOUT doing good.
Doing good. Some do mnch harm. To
refrain from doing good is often great harm;
but to 90 about doing harm is mach worse.
perhaps of Christ alone it can be said, ho
did nothing but good.
