SAVING FrSp.-One Of the most valuable
public institutions in PHILADELPHIA, is that
of the SAFISG FUND of the National Safety
Co., Walnut St., southwest corner of Third
St. This Saving Fund was chartered in 1871 :,
and is now amongst the first, il not the very
first moneycd institutions in that city. Money
is received every day, and FIVE Per CENT
interest is given for it from the day it is put
in. When the money is called for it is al
ways paid back without the necessity of Civ
ing notice for it beforehand. Any sum is re
ccved, large or small, but the reputation Of
this Institution for safety is such that people
who have large sums put it in this Saving
Fund on account of the superior security and
convenience it affords. People who have
money could not make better disposition Of
it than to put it in there.

RIFLES AND REGULATIONS OF THE RAIL ROAD.
We have received from the General Super
intendcnt Of the Phil. vii. and Bait. Rail-
road, handsomely printed and neatly bound
book of l5 pages containing the Rules and
Regulations for the management of the Road
They appear to be admirably calculated to
promote the safety and comfort of passengers
and rapid transportation of merchandise over
the road, and reaching all the employees in
this durable book form. they will no doubt be
studied and very generally observed, We
cxtre ct the following particulars:
The conductor and train hands must use
all possible means to prevent passengers from
endangering their safety, by inprudent cx-
posurc or curelessness, such as standing on
the platforms of the cars, or putting their
heads or arms ont OF the windows. Tie con-
ductor must. if possible, restrain all disorder
ly persons while in the cars. II by the use
of mild measures he is unable to accomplish
this object, he is fully authorscd and empow-
cred to resort to all reasonable means to en-
sure the safety and comfort Of passengers
committed to his charge.
On stopping the trains ut any station the
conductor must distinctly announce, or cause
W DS ailuouneCu Ill cdtu Sul, NJ as w VI
heard throughout the car, the name of such
station. Sufficient time must in all cascA be
allowed for passengers to leave or enter t.,c
train in safety, prudent dispatch being taken
to avoid delay.
In passing over Bush and Gunpowder
bridges, the rate of speed must in no case
exceed sixteen miles per hour. In running
during or after astorm, every precanlion must
he taken to guard against the possibility Of
danger.
Engine drivers must approach stations
where they are required to stop, at such II
rate of speed as will render it unnece ssary to
reverse the engine, or slide the wheels to
stop the train. They must be careful to bear
in mind, the fact that the lives Of passeng rs
are entrusted to their care, and that any ne
glect of duty, or carclcssncss on their part,
may be productive of the most serious consc-
qucnces, and will render them liable to
summary dismissal from the company's ser
vice.
On approaching the Susquchanna river at
night, when the track is wet or frosty, the
train must come to a full stop before the en-
CINE is nncoupled, and the cars must be push
ed on the boat by the engine.
On approaching n railroad crossing, the
train must advance at a moderate speed, and
the engine driver must see that the way is
clear. In case of the slightest doubt as to
the safety Of proceeding, the engine driver
must invariably stop his train until all danger
is removed.

Death of PizarrO.

Three hundred and thirteen years ago Pizarro
was murdered in his own house. A writer in
Blackwood's Magazine thus notices the event:
They that take The sword shall perish by the
sword" By the word he had risen by the sword
he was to perish not on some well fought battle
fed, with shouts of victory ringing in his ear, but

day in June SAL, at the hour Of dinner, that they
burst into his apartment with cries of "Death TO
the tyrant" A number of visitors were with him
but they were impertectly armed, and deserted
him, escaping by the windows, and his half broth
ef, Martinez de Alcanora, two pages, and as
many cavaliers, were all who stood forward in
defence of their chief. They soon fell, overpower
ed by numbers and covered with wounds. But
Pizarro was not The man to meekly meet his death.
Alone, without armor, his cloak around one arm,
his good sword in his right hand, with vlgor and
intrepidity surprising at his advanced age, the old
hero kept his cowardly assailant at bay.

one of his companion in arms, he trust him against

WHOLESOME HINTs.-Never make use Of an
honest woman's name III an improper place at an
improper time, or in mixed company. Never
make assertions about her that you think
true, or ailusons that you feel she herself would
blush to hear. When you meet with mea who
do not scruple to make use of woman's name
in a reckless and unprnclpIed manner, shun them,
for they are the very worst members of the com.
munily, men lost to every sense OF honor, every
feeling of humanity. Many a good and worthy
woman's character has been forever ruined, and
her heart broken by lie, manufactured by some
Dragging villain, and repeated where it should not
have been, and in the presence of those whose
little judgment could not deter them from circuIa-
ting the louI and Dragging report. SANDER is
soon propagated, and The smallest thing derogato-
ry 10 a woman's character, will fly on the wings
of the wind, add magnify as it circuaes until its
monstrous weight crushes the poor unconscious
victim. Respect the name of woman; for your
mother, your sister, women and you
would have their fair name untarnished, and their
lives unembii'ered by the slanderers biting tongue,
heed the i'll that your own words may bring upon
the mother, the sister, wife Of some fellow crea
