Human Elevation,

"I know" says Claiming, but one
elevation of u human being, and that is
the elevation of the soul. Without this
it matters nothing where a man stands, or
what he possesses; and with II he towers
he is one of Gods nobility, no matter
wha, place he holds in the social scales.
There are no, different kinds of dignity
for different orders of men, but one and
the same to all. The only elevation of
the human being consists in the exercise,
growth and energy of the higher princi-
plies and powers of the soul. A bird may
be shot upwards to the skies by a foreign
force, but it rises in a true sense Of the
word only when it spreads its own wings.
and scars by its own living power. So q
man may be thrust upwards in a conspic,
nous place by outward accidents, but he
rises only so far as he exerts himself and
expands his best faculties, and he ascend,
up, by a free effort, to a noble region Of
thought and action.

GERMANTOWN TELEGRAPH,
THE MODEL FAMILY AND AG-
RICULTURAL PAPER.
PUBLISHED AT
GERMANTOWN, PHII.A'IA CO., PENN
EVERY WEDNESDAY, MoRSING.
BY PHILIP r. FRE.HS.
PRICE-Two DOLLARS PER ANNUM.

We take THIS occasion TO announce to Farm
ers throughout the country, that it is the in
t~ention of the Editor and Proprietor of the
"Germantown Telegraph" not only to con-
tinue as heretofore the Agricultural Depart
ment of his paper, but sedulously to add to
its character and value by all the means at
command. All necessary space shall be pro-
yided for a full Irecord Of Agricultural Details
and a full development of every branch of the
farmers Pursuit. He will in future, as he
has always heretofore, aim to be practical,
and to be of real and substantial advantage
to husbandry. His course, also, will continue
to be thoroughly independent, and wholly I'M
BIASED by any other motives than those he
conceives to be promotive of the true interest
of Agriculture in it's broadest meaning. Neither
individuals, cliques, societies, or any other in
fuence shall swerve him from the path Of
right and duty.
Farmers, throughout the country, who de-
sire a Newspaper, issued weekly, and equal
to any other family news and literary journal
published, which makes Agriculture a speci-
ality, will find the "Germantown Telegraph"
to fulfill every condition, and to render it en-
tirely unnecessary for them to subscribe for a
periodical exclusively agricultural.
Practical Horticulture, Pomology and Gar
dening, generally, will meet with particular
attention.
As a Literary and News Journal it shall
not be surpassed by any in the country
Neatly printed on good paper, of the largest
class, it shall continue to be one of the hand
soonest newspapers of the day.
Every Family, in town or country, whether
they take other papers or not, will find the
"Germantown Telegraph to be worth, in lit
ersl benefit, twice the amount of subscription.
No subscriptions received without the cash.
Price Two Dollars in advance. Subscriptions
not paid within the year, $3.50. Mail sub
scribers will have the cash postage deducted
when not exceeding 25 cts. per annum, pro-
vided the subscription be paid strictly in adj
vance. Postage stamps TO his amount viii

Life-Preserving Equipments ON
steamboats,.

Within the last eleven months there have
been no less than four very serious steam
boat disasters from conlagration on our in
land waters, viz: the Northern Indiana on
Lake Erie, the Niagara on Lake Michi-
Gan, the Louisiana on the Gulf of Mexico,
and the Montreal on the ST. Lawrence
river. The number Of lives lost by these
four disasters was not less than six or seven
hundred, and in each instance, it was evil.
dent, the chief cause Of the loss of life was
the wan Of the necessary prep,rations to
save passengers when thus imperiled; and
atthe present time the majority of the boats
running on our lakes and rivers are so IN
sufficiently provided for in this respect,
that should a like calamity befal some of
them beyond the reach of shore or the
rescue of other vessels, the chances for the
safe deliverence from a watery grave of
their human cargoes would be utterly
hopeless.
There is a most criminal degree Of reck-
lessness exhibited in our general steam.
boat system. Instead Of being fully and
carefully arranged and equipped with every
possible means Of preserving lives in case
Of disaster by fire, the boats, as a general
thing, are almost destitute of a single eff
fectuul means of safety in such an emer-
gency. Life preservers are usually pro-
vided, it is true; but generally, as is the case
of the Northern Indiana, they are WORTH
less, being out Of repair or in n condition
that renders them entirely unavailable If
brought into sudden requisition. Some of
the boats carry with them one or two small
life-boats, and others none at all. We
have been passenger on board Of a large
first-class steamboat, where there were no
less than one hundred and fifty passengers,
on which there was not a single life boat,
and on which the means of saving life were
SO insufficient that had the boat taken fire,
not one of that large company of human
beings would have escaped, unless, fortu-
nately, he was u good swimmer.
No passenger carrying steamboat ought
to be allowed to leave her wharf unless she
is thoroughly equipped with all the requi'
site means of saving the lives of those who
enirust themselves on board. Every
movable article Of furniture ought to be
life preserving; and before starting on a
trip the life-preserving equipments ought
10 be thoroughly overhanled and inspected
so as to insure their efficiency in case of
need. She ought also 10 be provided with
good and safe life boats, enough to easily
accommodate all her passengers, however
large the number, and with a crew who have
humanity enough to have as much regard
for the safety of others rs for their own
and who ure sufficiently disciplined to un'
derstand their business in the time of dan
ger. A boat thus equipped and managed
would be safe; otherwise not.
