Never Give up.

Never give up lit is wiser and better
Always to hope, than once to despair
Fling out the load of doubts cankering fetter,
And break the dark spell of tyrannical care.
Never give up; or the burden may sink you
Providence kindly has mingled the cup;
And in all trials and trophies bethink you.
The watchword of life must be, "Never give
up!"
Never give up; there are chances and changes,
Helping the hopeful, a hundred to one,
And through the chaos, High Wisdom arranges
Ever success, if you'll only hope on.
Never give up; for the wisest is boldcst,
+ Knowing that Providence mingles the cup,
And of all maxims the best, as the Oldest,
Is the bold watchword, of"Never give up"
Never give up if adversely presses,
Providence wisely has mingled the cup,
And the best counsel in all your distresses.
Is the stout watchword of Never give up

The Turf.

Hurrah for Jonathan. Some years
ago he fairly whipped John Bull in yach
ting, and now he has won on land as well
as sea. Mr. TEN Brock has achieved a
brilliant triumph. Porter's Spirit Of the
Times, contains a lengthy and enthusiastic
letter, describing the most exciting race
ever witnessed on the English turf.
Thirty four horses Of the best stock in the
world, all of them yictors in former con-
tests, ran for the prize. America was
represented only by PEIoREss, and Eng
lsh jockeys held her in contempt, and
freely offered bets Of a hundred to one.
All such bets were accepted, and when
Prioress on the deciding heat won by a
length and halt, the excitement was tre-
mendous. Mr.. Ten Brock bet largely,
and is amply repaid for all his losses. and
has proved his assertion that American
horses are the best on the turf of any in
the world. go" tt''i 44

In Ohio there was coalition of the Dem

pubIicans, on a vote by no means full,
whipped them both. Here is the proof
of the coalition. Immediately after the
election, the Toledo Times, q leading
Democratic organ, declared that u.
'ea.'In the contest for Governor, it can
not be denied that very many Amcri-
cans have voted for Payne, a national
man, with tiire,t reference to preventing

DETROIT, Tuesday Nov. Sd.

Michigan is supposed to be "West."
We'll, left Ogdensburgh yesterday about
noon, and arrived here before noon to-day.
SO we have ''come west" in less than a
day. Well, the marvel of railroads can
never cease. They will be perpetual
wonder. Compare such journeving with
the weary, toilsome travel of the early en-
igrant, working his way west with an OK
team, camping where night overtakes him,
sleeping in hs covered wagon, and his
wife cooking scrub for himself and fam
lily.
Detroit has one thing of which to be
proud-her churches. The public spirit
and christian enterprise which has reared
so many noble ediices and consecratel
them tc the sacred services of religion,
cannot BE too highly praised. To-day is
the municipal election here. There seems
to be no great excitement, though bands
Of music in gay carriages are parading
the streets, displaying flags bearing the

MADRID, N. Y. Oct. Goth.
i You have likely heard of the accident
on the n. Y. Central R. R. near SYRIA
cuse. We never before saw SO startling
an exhibition of the uncertainty Of life,-
By mere accident we missed being on
the train that was wrecked, and coming
on a few hours after, we saw the saddest
sight upon which we ever looked. A
tremendous storm had washed out clll-
vert in the road, and the rushing train
plunged down the steep embankment.-
The engine was neatly buried in the
ground, and three passenger cars were
completely destroyed. In one there was
not single seat left whole. But three
were killed, though many were badly
wounded.
But the tide OF travel surges on un
checked by such calamitics. A start
brief surprise, and such things are for
gotten by all save those who suffer, or
those who MOURN for ''the loved and lost"
+ The station where the train stops for
refreshments, is IN object Of absorbing III
terest to railway passengers. They look
forward to it with bright anticipations,
but alas. they are often as deceitful as
the mirage of the desert. POI
Tired and hungry, we went into a r. R.
saloon about two o'clock p NJ, and called
for bowl of oysters. The bowl came !;
it was broad and deep, capacious as a
Dutch oven, or an alderman's stomach,
roomy as the widest pocket in Uncle
SANS public pants, and well filed with
soup. We put in a spoon and stirred
awhile, and called waiter. "Haye You
fish hook and line sir?'' Waiter stared.
~ would like to fish for an oyster tn this
bowl of soup" Waiter vanished as sud-
denly as Hamlet's Ghost at the growing Of
the cock.
But word to the ladies. We have
seen hoops in all their glory, in all their
unabridged vastness, and almost sublime
proportions. Really, we believe, hoops
will be found great safeguard to morals.
1t is a Iamentable fact that in this s'wrong
and pleasant world of ours" are vcrymany
gay young Lotharios, who scruplo not to
win and deceive the fair sex. But when
these fair ones are placed within q circle
of crinoline whose diameter almost exceeds
belief, it will be no easy thing to get
around them. Success we say to hoops.
