Rail Road Slaughter Paper
BRIDGES

The Rail Road history of the country for
. few months past, has been bat record OF
wholesale slaughters. Hardly daily pa
per has reached US, for four months, but the
telegraphic column has contained an ac-
count Of ."Rail Road accidents" lives lost,
limbs broken, and property destroyed. No
doubt but many OF these occurrences are
unavoidable. No ordinary care, prudence
or forethonght~could prevent them. But it
l. equally true, that very many of them are
occasioned by the criminal negligence of
persons connected with the roads.
One Of the most painful Of this latter
class, is the recent slaughter which occur.
red on the Pacific Railroad. A pleasure
party. made up from the first circles of So
ciety In st. Louis, started out on an ex.
cursion, full of life, and hope and happi-
meas, only to sacrifice their lives to the
blunders Of an incompetent Engineer and
architect. This accident was occasoned
by culpable ignorance and incapacity. An
architect to whom is entrusted the building
any structure, upon the permanence of
which, depend the lives of his fellows, has
no right TO build il in such manner, that
m accident is even possible. The persons
to whom was entrusted the building of the
bridge across the Gasconade river, and
who pronounced it sufficient to bear the
weight Of q heavy train, are guilty of man
slaughter. # it were possible. they should
be held responsible for the lives that were
lost
Since the accidentat the Gasconade riv-
zer. two other bridges on the same road,
have given way, which goes to prove be-
yend question, that there must have been
the most fearful errors in their construc.

engage, none requires so much care. eau.

HYMN OF THE UNIVERSE.
rARApHRAsrD FROM GOETHE.

Roll on thou Sun! forever roll.
Thou giant rushing through the Heaven;
Creators wonder, Natures soul!
The golden wheels by angels driven;
The planets die without thy blaze,
And cherubim with siar-dropt wing
Float in thy damon sparkling rays,
Thou brightest emblem Of their King!
fRoll, lovely Earth! and still on,
With Oceans azure beauty bound;
lNhiie one sweet star, the pearly moon,
sPursues thee through the blue profound,
And angels with delighted eyes
Behold thy tints of mount and stream,
arom the high wall OF paradise;
SEilt-whirling like glorious dream.
Roll, Planets! on your dazzling road,
Forever sweeping round the sum
What eye beheld when first ye glowedl
What eye shall see your courses donel
Roll in your solemn majesty,
Yc deathless splendors of the skies!
High altars from which angels see
The incense Of creation rise.
Roll, Comets! and ye million Stars!
~Ye that through boundless nature roam;
Ye monarchs on your flame winged cars;
Tell us in what more glorious dome,
Whatorb to which your ponlps are dim,
What kingdom but by angels trod-
Tell us where swells the eter nal hymn
Around His throne--where dweiis your God!

In the South know nothingism advances.
while in the North il is going down FAST
Why is this? To our mind the reason is
plain one. The emigrants to the United
States are, as general rule, forced to la
Dor for living; slavery has tendency to
make labor disreputable; the emigrant sees
and feels this, and hence he emigrates to
the North, and to the West where slavery
is not tolerated. That they are the friends
of freedom, the enemies of Slavery, is rule
to which there is scarce single exception.

and if by means of know nothing lodges,
they can prevent foreigners from being nat.
uralizej, they thus rid the "peculiar insti-
tution' of a number of its enemies, who
would vote to make freedom in tie territor-
les, as they will vote to make freedom in
the States. For these reasons know noth-
ingism takes like wild fire in the south; for
these reasons it is a cherished friend and
co-worker of southern slavery. The foot

Barnum's Last Humbug,

Mr.. P. t. Barnum has taken his own
life," in more senses than one. The n. Y.
Independent, referring to his "Autobiogra-
ply" justly observes =
I'VE are not sure considering the great no
torieiy of the book, but that parents and teach
ers would render good service TO the young,
aud best counieract lis infuerce, by deliberate
ly exposing the wickedness of the life that
vaunts its career of lies through these pages.
The book itself is an instructive illustration of
Job 5: ~, I3. He disappoin,eth the devices
of the crafty. He taketh the wise in their
own craftiness and the counsel of the froward
is carried headlong.' A man who was just
emerging from the odium and suspicion OF
years, into position of responsibility towards
which all were willing to help him, in his
crafty eagerness for wealth, ont-wits himself
makes pecuniary speculation out of his own
iniquities; and in 81 doing, exposes those in
EQUITIES to the astounded gaze of the public,
who will laugh at the revelation only hence
forth 20 despise the revealer. No wealth can
be compensation for the scorn Of all honorable
men,"
