ers, before Lyceums and Mechanics Institu-
ties but, those who work at the base, as we'll
of the supers:ructure of the Temple of Pro
gress, under whose vaulted arches, humanity
shall one day sit down in peace and quietude,
to enjoy the fruition of that rich promise that
was made to man in the early ages of his
creation
Since Noah spiked together the Gopher
wood timbers of his ark in the old antedelu-
Wan age, there has not been put forth a single
human effort, directed by single intelligent
thought, that has not added to the means of
the worlds advancement, or increased the
sum total of human happiness. Humble
though it may be, no earnest effort Of the
mind for good object, no toiling of the body,
with really good motive and intent, is ever
lost or wasted. The servant who held the
rude elm-tree pillow, which Cincinnatus left in
the furrow, when called to preside over the
affairs of his country, was no less worthily
employed than his master. The ''bog-trot-
ters'' of Italy, who built the dykes where We
netian argosies might land their precious
freights, when Venice ''rued the waves" were
engaged in an occupation as really enobling
as that of the merchants, whose enterprise led
them to the exploration of distant seas, and
the interchange of the commodities of all
chimes. The humblest shipwright who
drove oakum into the seams of the Pinta, was
performing as effective service to the world,
as the liberal sovereigns of CASTLE and Aragon,
who gave her to Columbus, to prosecute his
daring schemes of discovery, in unknown and
tempestuous oceans.
Since, tten, as we have shown, the influence
of the individual is so widely felt, for good or
evil, in the affairs of men, since, in a greater
or less degree, that influence is governed by
mans aspirations and capacity: should it not
be the aim, desire and study, of us all, so to
direct those God-given faculties, that we all
possess in common, that whether our labor lies
in working, or in thinking with the hand, or
with the brain that the influence we exert,
whether much or little, shall be for good, and
for good only so that when we join the great
caravan of humanity, which has journied to
the unknown land before us, we may have
the happy consciousness of knowing, feeling
and believing, that this world and all its inhab-
itants, whom we shall leave behind, are at least
a triie wiser, better, and happier, because we
have lived in it

JOSHUA R. GInnINGs.

We learn, through the Washington letter.
writers, that the personal and political friends
of Hon. Joshua r. Giddings are about to pre-
sent to the veteran defender of Northern rights
and democratic principles service plate, as
testimonial of their regard for his private
virtues and public services; and we are glad
of it.
1t is meet and proper that when the brave
old soldier, who for nearly quarter of CEN
fury has borne the brunt of the fight in our ma
tional Legislature, for the institutions of equal
liberty which our fathers bequeathed to us,
shuts down his desk for the last time, and
turns his steps towards his home in the West,
never more to mingle in the strifes of the Cap
itol, that he should take with him some me-
mento of the love and admiration of his COM
peers but we know Mr.. Giddings too well, to
suppose that the gift will have any other value
in his eyes than as a tangible expression of
that respect and reverence that he has won by
years of arduous labor for his country's good.
During his long career of service in the ma
tional councils, Mr. Giddings has stood as
man, without fear and without reproach."
The corrupting influences of the society at the
seat of government have had no influence upon
his rugged, manly nature. He has never, upon
any occasion, failed to bear his testimony in IA
vor of right and justice, against all odds, and
In the face of all dangers, personal or other
wise and, we may safely say, that no public
man OF his time has left deeper impressionfor
good upon his country than he.
Long may he live to enjoy the honors which
he has SO bravely won, as the earliest the tru-
est, and most faithful of the champions of free
dom, and to receive the heart homage, respect
and reverence of all those who have watched
his career with pride and admiration from the
time when he stood up alone in the House of
Representatives as the champion of the right
ofpetition, and as the firm, outspoken, uncom-
promising opponent of the domination of the
slave power

SHOCKING RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-As the
express train on the Western Railroad, which
left this city at quarter before five o'clock, on
Saturday afternoon last, approached the cross
ing near the Catholic Burying Ground, not far
from New Worcester, party of eight persons,
in two-horse carriage, were seen upon the

rick, a boy of fourteen; Thomas Curtis and
his wife, Nancy and Mrs. Gallagher, a wild
ow of some sixty years of age and were re-
turning to their homes, in Cherry Valley, Lei
eester, from attendance at a funeral, having
just left the burying ground.
Notwithstanding the blowing of the whistle
end the ringing of the bell, which, it is stated,
was DONE as is usual at crossings, the car
riage was driven upon the track and the en-
CINE struck the hind portion of it, in which the
women were seated killing Mrs. Gallagher in
stantly, and so injuring Mrs. Mary McGinniss
that she survived only till about nine o'clock in
tue evening. Mrs. Gurus was Dauly injured
about the neck and throat, with severe cut
across her forehead, and her arm broken near
the wrist, but it is hoped that she will ultimate
ly recover,
The boy, Owen McGinnis, and Mrs. Bridget
McGinn!ss were also somewhat injured, but
not seriously. The others of the party were
uninjured, with the exception of "a few scratches
and bruises. The carriage was pretty essen
TALLY demolished, but the horses escaped un-
harmed.

party, with the exception of the two last

for the purpose, and the dead and injured were
taken to Swans Hotel, where due medical as
