SAFETY OF RAILWAY TRAvELLIYG.-Thc
Railway Times Of the 18th says, by our last
English files we were pleased TO observe the
formation of n Railway Club. Ar Inaugural
ton meeting had taken place, and Mr.. Wa,kin,
General Manager of the Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincolnshire RaiIwa,, was appointed the
President. In the course of his address he
remarked, that from calculations he had made,
man must make between ten and eleven
thousand journeys of fifteen miles, travelling
between 15O,00o,000 and 6O,OOO,OOO miles,
and that would take, he had calculated, be
tween 1000 and 5000 years before a fatal
accident might becxpected to happen TO him.;
and he had no doubt, as he had heard it be.
fore expressed, that the safest position man
could place himself in, in this world of casu.
ality and danger, would be in the first class
carriage Of m express train. The number of
men employed on English Railways now
amount TO upwards of l0O,000-or about IA
men to every mile. The club already mum.
bcrs among its members all the leading Rail-
way men of England.

RANDoLPHs VIEWS OF THE BIBLE.-The
Hon. Thomas II. Benton, in his reminis-
cences Of public men, has the following
statement in relation to Mr.. Randolph, and
his religious views and feelings in his latter
days:
He had religious impressions, and vein
of piety which showed itself more in pri-
vate than in external observancy. He was
habitual in bis reverential regard for the
divinity of our religion; and one of his beau
tiful expressions was. that If woman had
lost US paradise, she had gained us heaven
The Bible and Shakespeare were, to the last,
his constant companions, travelling with him
on the road, remaining with him in the cham
Der. The last time saw him lin that last
visit to Washington, after his return from
the Russian mission, and when he was in
the full view of DEATH heard him read
the chapter in the Revelation of the open
ing of the seals, with such power and
beauty Of voice and delivery, and such depth
Of pathos, that l felt as if | had never
heard the cha pter read before. When he
had got to tho end of the opening of the
sixth seal, he stopped the reading, laid the
book open at the place, on his breast, as
he lay on his bed, and began a discourse
upon the beauty and sublimity of the scrip
tural writings compared to which he con-
sidered all human compositions vain and
empty. Going over the images presented
by the opening of the seals, he averred
that their div nifty was in their sublimity-
that no human power could take the same
images and inspire the same awe and ter
ror, and sink ourselves into such nothing
ness in the presence of the 9wrath of the
Lamb"-that he wanted no proof of their
divine origin but the sublime feelings which
they inspired"

One OF the chief saints on board had three

A HUNGRY CARPET BAG.-The Buffalo
Express relates an amusing incident which
occurred at Erie few days since. A gen.
tleman left Cleveland for New York at
au early hour in the morning, without his
breakfast, and being very hungry, upon the
arrival of the train at Erie entered the
dining room, and placing his carpet bag
upon chair, sat down beside it, and COM
menced valorous attack upon the viands
placed before him. By and by the propri-
etor of the establishment came around to
collect fares, and upon reaching our friend,
calculated, Dollar, sir!"
"a dollar u responded the eating man,
"a dollar thought you only charged fifty
cents meal for one-eh"
"That's true" said .Meanness, "but /
count your carpet bag one, since it occupies
seat" The table was far from being
crowded
Our friend expostulated, but the land
lord insisted, and the dollar, was reluctant.
ly brought forth. The landlord passed on.
Our friend deliberately arose and opening
his carpet bag, full in its wide mouth, dis.
coursed unto it, saying, Carpet bag, it
seems you're an individual-a human indi.
vidual, since you eat-at least I've paid for
you and now you must eat"-upon which
he seized every thing eatable within his
reach, nuts, raisins, apples, cakes, pies and
amid the roars of the bystanders, the delight
of his brother passengers, and discontinue
of the landlord, phlegmatically went and
took his seat in the cars. He said he had
provision enough to last him to New York
after a bountif full supply had been served
out in the cars. There was at least $s
worth in the bag-upon which the landlord
realized nothing in the way of profit. So
much for meanness.

QUARTERLY REVIEW.
HE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION was


/ adopted by the Southern Commercial Con-
vention, held in Charleston, in April, 1854.
RESOLVED, That the Southern Quarterly Re-
view, published in the City of Charleston, by
a native of Virginia, and edited by one of
the most distinguished literary gentleman of
the South, being the only Periodical of that
character, printed and published in the Sou
thern States and having always defended the
institutions and interests of the South, is en-
titled to the patronage of the Southern peo-
pie, and this Convention earnestly recon-
mend it to their favorable consideration.
This Periodical is the only one of its class in
the entire region of the South; and it's pages
are referred to as the best evidence of the abi-
ity of the South, and its capacity to give ex-
preston to the feelings the interests and intel
ligence of this section of our country. It's
purpose is to fairly represent ourselves, and not
to misrepresent others. 1t aims to maintain
the truth as we understand it, and to assert
the intellectual equality of our section, while
at the same time it will free the mind of our
people from that literary thraldrom and de-
pendence under which they have too long la
bored. We claim then from all lovers of the
South, and friends of truly home literature,
that support of our work which will enable us
to give it a free course, and thus make it emf
nently worthy Of the worlds admiration and
our own pride. G. MORTIMER, Publisher.

rHE WORLD WOULD BE THE BET
TER FOR IT.-BY M. H. COBB.
II men cared less for wealth and fame,
And less for battle fields and glory;
II writ In human hearts name
Seemed better than in song or story:
IF men, instead Of nursing PRIDE
Would learn to hate II and abhor It.
II more relied
On love to guide,
Tim world would be the better for It.
II men dealt less In stocks and lands,
And more in bonds and deeds fraternal;
If Loves work had more willing hands
To link this world to the supernal;
If men stirred up Loves oil and wine,
Aud ON bruised human hearts would pour IT,
If "yours" and "mine"
Would once combine,
The world would be the better for II.
If more would act the play Of Life,
And fewer spoil It in rehearsal;
If Bigotry would sheathe its knife,
Till Good become more universal
II Custom, gray with ages grown,
Had fewer blind men to adore it
If talent shonc
In Truth alone,
The world would be the better for Il.
II men were wise In little things
Affecting Tess than oil their dealings;
II hearts had fewer rusted strings
To isolate their kindly feelings:
If men, when Wrong beats down the Right.
Would strive together and restore it
If Right made Might
In every fight,
The world would be the better for it,.
