Railway Matters.

There are, in different parts of the world, now
open to the exigcncies of trade and travel about
5000 miles, and the rest of Europe about 81 900
miles, leaving to the United States and Canada
about %, 600 miles
Great Britain has expended for her railway
system no less than vi ,565, 900. 900, or abou,
@72 for each inhabitant. Some idea of the i'm
mensily OF this vast system OF trade and travel
locomotion may be CLEANED by the following
statements 1t all the engines in use in Grea,
Britain be supposed to be concent ted into one
engine, which should have run twelve months,
il would have passed over 80 ,000,000 of miles,
which, if the engine had only made 80 miles per
hour, would have required no less than three
years, moving night and day. Not less than
two and half miles of railway are constantly
covered by trains, 70 control tho motion of
these there are required no less than 5 900 loco
motive-angnes. The total number of cars is
not less than l50, 000 Admitting the average
length to BE- twenty feet, and il these trains were
linked together, the whole would cover the New
York and Erie railroad from end to end, aud
leave enough spare cars to cover the road from
Cincinnati to Hamilton-somc 800 miles in all.
One hundred and eleven millions of passengers
pass over these roads during the year at an aver
age distance OF twelve miles each, or for one
man 1882 100000 miles. or enough to carry
man to the sun and back no less than seven
times every year. To the people of Great Brit.
ain there is TINS saved, in the time of travel no
less than $4,000 years every twelve months
and IN money, at fair rate. Sll 400, 900, or

RELIGIOUS CRIsEs.-There is perhaps well
founded prejudice in our minds against sudden
changes. Sudden resolutions, sudden impulses,
are universally regarded with suspicion. Many
minds extend this to the sphere of religion, and
regard with skepticism all accounts of sudden
conversions. Without much examination they
class them under the head of fanatical delusion
and consider those periods in which these be-
come a frequent incident, as periods of kind
of epidemic enthusiasm utterly opposed to the
normal and regular growth of rational piety.
1t is to be remarked, however, that religious
crises both in individuals and in communities
are not so sudden as they appear to the locker
on i'm this respect they, like certain apparent
ly sudden changes in the natural world, have
their invisible, silent, preparatory causes. The
ground around us is sheeted with snow, and the
buds of the apple orchards look as brown and
still and sealed as if they were not within few
weeks of glorious resurrection of green leaves
and rose-tipped blossoms. But it does not fol-
low that nothing is doing, because we hear and
see nothing In every one Of these long warm
days the suns power is gradually and silently
awakening the torpid and dormant forces of
the tree whispering at the root, and thrilling
the branches and by and by, before we think
of it, what bursting forth, what new crea-
ton las if angels descending in the night had
wreathed the trees with the roses of heaven,
and left them standing, affairs of perfume and
beauty.
So also in what are called sudden conversions,
there has often been q silent preceding mental
history, working of providential discipline, of
which the beautiful spiritual dawn called con-
version is the perfected flower. Affections,
months and years gone by-no longer spoken
of but terminating with still lfe-forces in every
silent, rejecting hour-losses, disappointment,
notifications, sickness, pains alternating with
mercies, hopes, newly awakened loves-all these,
under the guiding hand of an infinite Power,
have been working on in the soul, until at last
some slight outward pressure, a little more de-
termining force from the good spirit of God,
and man comes out firm and decided in mark
ed spiritual change. Those who see only the
change and know nothing of the preceding his
tory, call it sudden conversion.-Hd,riet

A SENATOR ELECTED BY a LOVE LETTER.
In certain town in this State, a letter arrived
for young lady from her lover, on the day of
the election. The Postmaster, as is not infre-
quent in the rural districts, knowing the eager
ness with which message of that tender char
acter would be expected, took upon himself the
pleasing duty of delivering it +; but first, like a
good Democrat, he must vote, and of course IN
a separate selfsealing envelope. This was du-
ly prepared, with the Democratic tickets safely
enclosed, and the gluten stuck together. Stop
ping at the town meeting, he deposited the let
ter in the ballot box, and proceeded with the
separate and self-sealed to the house of the
blooming maiden, to whom he gallantly hand
ed the entire Democratic ticket, State and town.
How the lady interpreted the missve we do not
know, but the moderator and clerk ungallantly
refused to count the love letter, and the Re-
publican candidate was declared elected by one

We saw good anecdote the other day about
long preaching. A lady took her son, of some
five or six years, to church. After the minister
had been preaching about half an hour, the lit
tie fellow grew sleepy, and began to nod. The
mother reused him into attention several times,
by pinching. But as it seemed hopeless case,
she concluded to let him sleep undisturbed.
After the little fellow had had his nap out, he
awoke, and saw the minister still holding forth.

POETRY.
A NAME THE SAND.

Alone walked the ocean strand
A pearly shell was in my hand;
! stopped, and wrote upon the sand
My name-thc year-the day.
As onward from the spot passed,
One lingering look behind cast;
A wave came rolling high and fast
And washed my lines away.
Aud so, mcthought twill shortly be
With every mark on earth from me;
A wave OF dark oblivon's sea
Will sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shore
OF time, and been to be no more;
or me-mv name-the name bore,
To leave no track no trace.
And vet, with him who counts the sands
And holds the water in his hands,
know the lasting record stands,
Inscribed against my name,
OF all this mortal part has wrought,
Of all this thinking soul has thought,
And from these feeting moments caught
For glory, or for shame.
