ALWAYS rrrpire FAuLr.-Thcre ure GER

ALWAYS FINptNe FAuLT.-There are GER
tain people who cannot live without finding
fault. No mn'1r what subject or person
comes up in III hourse of conversation, they
start some friv 4aus objection or make some
censorcus remark. lnstead of irving to be
in charity will, their neighbors, they take
malicious pleasure in speaking evil about
them. They obstnately shut their eyes TO
good qualities, while they employ microscopes
10 discover and magnify evil ones; and after
wards they torture language TO exaggerate
what they have seen so as to deprecia,e as
much rs possible. They do not, however,
speak out boldly; but they deal in innuendops,
in hints and in on JUS shakes of the head
Instead of frankly sssaling in front, they MS
sassinate behind tae back Practically, they
persuade other this all men are 80 evil that
there is not even chance of reform. Even
in acts incontestsbiy good they pretend 10
Sod latent sgatsiZsASs. -i,liey spend their lives
in dctiling human nature, like the foul Yahoos
whom the satirist has depicted. To believe
them, there are none virtnous but themselves:
all the rest of mankind being knaves, brutes,
or devils.
The proverbial fault finder little thinks
that in censur;ng so maIiciously and inds-
criminately he is only painting his own por-
trait. II is secret consciousness of his de-
merits, II gnawing rage at the superiority of
others, which is the real cause of his want of
charity. the principa inducement TO his abuse
His own heart is the mirror from which he
describes mankind.

A GREAT NATIONAL CURlosITY.-The
Abingdon (Va) Virgnian says: "There is n
nutra bridge within 50 miles of this place, in
Scott county, Va, compared with which the
bridge over Cedar creek is mere circum-
chasm more ihan twice so feet in width, and
is 420 feet deep, at the bottom of which
flows much larger and more rapid stream
than Cedar creek; but it is not less bridge,
with broad wagon-road located upon it,
The survey for the Cumberland Gap Rail-
road passed through the arch of this bridge
1t is, perhaps, the widest and most stipend
Gus curiosity in the United States; and yet it
is comparatively unknown"

VALUE OF RAILROADS TO FARmrns.-w,

VALUE OF RAILROADS TO FARMERs-We
notice in some Of the agricultural journals
complaints of the farmers against railway
companies; that they take up the best lands
of the farm, do not protect the lands, and
often kill the sheep and cattle, and are of
doubtful utility. This is a very short.sighted
view of the influence of railroads upon the
farming interests. BY opening new markets
for districts remote from the city they often
double the value of farms within n few years.
Instead of dull market the farmers all along
the line of road find 1t difficult to meet the
pressing demands for milk, butter, cheese,
calves, lambs, pigs, and almost everything
that the farm produces. Husbandry thrive
under the stimulus of hungry market
Almost everything brings rash in hand, in
stead of the old store pay, with II settlement
once year. Farm lands are in brisk de-
mand, and 90 up in price forty, fifty and n
hundred per cent. We believe that railroads
hnve added enough to the value Of the farms
of this country to pay FIR ohe-half the orig
inal expense OF building them, enormous ms
it is. We were conversing with IN intelli-
gent farmer few iys since, who lives up
on the line of the Syracuse and Bghamp-
ton railroad. The stock was worthless, and
he had lost the six hundred dollars he had
put into it. But he said he considered it
one of the best investments he ever made,
for it had added ten thousand dollars to the
value of his farm. Farmers, then, can af-
ford to put up with the trfing nconver
ience of railroads. 1t is safe for them to
subscribe for share of the stock, according
to their means, if they can thereby secure
the building of road and open ready mar
kct for their produce.-Ne,c York Times.

CAUSES OF MORTALITY he Boston
Journal aluding to the deaths in New York
last week, makes classification. The
bones and joints were only responsible for
two deaths, and this vindicates their good
reputation ms the reliable frame work of the
system. The heart and blood vessels, which
would seem to be the most delicate and fra
gile portions Of the body, were the seat of
but eight mortal attacks. The skin, expos
ed TO the infectious siege of dirty streets and
m atmosphere poisoned in thousand ways,
yielded in 23 cases. The lungs and throat,
enfeebed doubtless, in most cases by the
spring east winds. formed the channel for
communicating death to no less than 80 per-
sons. The brain and nerves, whereby an
Indian or agriculturalis, proably never died,
sent 81 individuals to their graves, MS the
token, not of an excessively, but of Il defcc-
tive and msused civilization. But we ap-
preach the climax in this direction. Brains
may he abus' d in New York, but the stom.
ach has grievances beyond number, and, we
fear, redress. OF those who died last week,
l79 received the mortal stroke within the
region of the digestive organs! This is a
sad commentary upon modern modes Of life
for we are not aware Of any indications
that the stomach is by nature weaker than
the other members of the physical system.
