EXCITING RACE-sTAKEs $275, 900

From L. o. Ruoker, Esq, Superinten-
dent of the c. & I. R. r., we obtain the
following particulars of an exciting race in
which the steeds were iron horses and the
stakes greater than have ever been known
on any track. Mr. Rucker had the facts
from John d. Campbell, Esq, Superinten-
dent of the VI. S. & \. ]. Z. One day
last week as the eastward bound express
train reached Laporte, Ind, a passenger
stepped off while the engine was being re-
plenished with wood and water, and walk
ed back and forth on the platform, and
continued to walk unit the whistle sounded.
The other passengers got on board, and the
train passed off, but the gentleman still
walked on. A few minutes after the train
had gone, station man saw the pedestrian
and going up to him, asked in a surprised
tone-"What the hi are you doing here?"
The man started-opened his eyes, and
looked around bewildered. The fact was,
he had been fatiged and had droped asleep
while walking.-Rousing, he asked
"Why, where am I?''
"Where are you? At La Porte"
"Where's the train came on?'
"That left ten minutes ago."
"Ten minutes ago and left me- l must

POOR RICHARDS MAXIMS.

The following from the great American
philosopher, Dr. Franklin, should be prin-
ted in letters of gold and hung up in every
school room side by side with the usual
/ blab, dog Latin, and other nonsense with
which our children's minds are crammcd,
and which seems to be the rule in our mod
ern system of tuition.
There will come a time when Profes-
sorship of Political Economy VIII be con-
siderei an absolute necessity to every school.
But that time is not yet At present
We have nothing but profusion and shameful
waste on one hand, while abject poverty,
meanness of spirit. and total carelessness,
are too much observable on others Those
are the two extremes which characterize
our present false state of things in phys
i;al point of view-all laid to the score of
false training, from the highest to the low
est.
But hear what Poor Richard says
l. Plow deep while sluggards sleep, and
You shall have corn to sell and to keep.
/ .. Pride is as loud beggar as want and
a great deal more saucy.
8. silk and satins, scarlets and velvets,
put out the kitchen fire.
/. Diligence is the mother of good luck.
). Pride breakfasted, with Plenty, dined
with Poverty and supped with Infamy.
6. Extravagance and improvidence end
at the prison door.
Z. 1t is easier to build two chimneys
than to- keep one in fuel.
S. Ifyou would know the value of money
60 and try to borrow some.
8. The eye of the master viii do more
work than both his hands.
10. What maintains one vice will bring
up two children.
IL. He that goes borrowing returns sor-
rowing.
II. Rather 60 to bed supperless, than to
rise in debt
Is. Sloth, like rust consumes faster than
labor wears.
II. A life of leisure and life of lazi-
ness are two different things
-. Three removes are as bad as fire.
l6. Creditors have better memories than
debtors.
Il. The rolling stone gathers no moss.
Is. If you would have Jour business
done, 60, if not, send.
10. 1t is foolish to lay out money in the
purchase of repentance.
20. Buy what thou needest not, and it
Will oblige thee to sell thy nccessaries.

MAsQUERADEs IN MILwAULEE.-A great
masquerade ball was given in Milwaukee
about a week ago. The Meas Of that city,
in the course of an article describing it,
says ''One gentlemen fell in love with
his own sister, while another man danced,
talked, and promenaded with gentleman
in woman's dress three hours, in the vain
hope of finding out who the dear creature
was. One young man took his mother to
the supper, and great was the surprise Of
both on learning how matters stood. One
of our leading merchants gave his ring to a
young lady if she would raise her mask
that he might see her features, when it was
his own sister, who he supposed was at
home with the toothachel Two gentleman
got in warm dispute as to who certain
lady with black domino was, and after
making wager of two bottles of champaign,
found out the young lady was the younger
and mischievous brother of the losing
party"

BACK FROM THE ROAD.
BY CARRIE a. CLARK.

Back from the road, there's little cot,
Just around the bend of the mountain,
Where merry brook comes leaping down,
Till it reaches brimming fountain;
And day by day, as You pass that way
You may notice little maiden,
Tripping along DER the dewy turf,
With a brimming ever laden.
Back from the road. there's stile that leads,
To palisaded river,
Where the mOonbeams revel the live-long night
And the white sails gleam and quiver;
And oft YOU may smile, to see at the stile,
In the shade of the dark browed mountain,
The maiden, leaning her dimpled arms,
As she comes from the trimming fountain
Back from the road, TIRES linden tree,
Where the wild birds sing and hover,
And where, in the hush of the dewy eve
Sits the maid and her dark-eyed lover;
His black locks damp with the mists that fell
As he sailed up the flowing river,
Her pure heart light with joy that none
But the sailor-boy can give her.
Back from the road, there's little mound
Half hid by weeping willow,
Where the hare-bell waves, and the winds at eve
Bear dirge from the lonely billow;
And oft-times there, you may pause to list,
How the sailor-boy is weeping,
As his damp locks shadow the hare-bells pale,
Where his early love lies sleeping.

THE FROST.
BIZ LIBBIE 5. CRowELL.

Very early in the spring-time
Came the Goddess of the flowers,
Throwing fragrant buds, and blossoms
Ger the earth in heavy showers
Showers which fell upon the tree-tops,
Sinking, mid their branches down,
Till their forms seem almost bending
Meath the pressure of their crown.
And the winds which stirred the leaflets
Bore the cadence 10 our ear,
OF the promise, which they WHISPERED
That when autumn should draw near
They would all be richly freighted
With fair fruits of tempting hue,
Twas promise which we cherished,-
Would the future prove it true?
Tender SCOTS were springing upwarlh
Through the warm sun -gladden'd soil,
Bringing with them hopes implanted
BY the farmers willing toll;
And the skies bent low and sunny
Ger our land so richly blest,
Soothing by their magic influence
Hopeful, anxious hearts to rest.
Oh, how beautiful the sPringtime
Came and passed before our eyes,
With lavish hand bestowing;
Gifts we knew how well TO prize.
But when summer-treaeherous maiden;
With bounding foot-step came,
And the hower-strewn ascended throne
To assume her place again
When she came in clouds and sunshine
With bright tear-drops in her eye,
o, we feared she'd grown capricious
And would cause our hearts a sigh;
But we deemed her not so heartless
As we've sadly proved her now,
With those golden tresses floating
Round her halo-circled brow.
But perchanee the queen of summer
In her regal, matehless pride,
Did not woo those chilling breezes
From the northlands to her side,
And it matters not from whittier
Came the blighting frost which swept
All those buds of hope and promise
From our earthland while We slept.
Oh, how desolate and dreary,
Half the joy of earth seemed fed,
While we gazed upon those leaflets
Which were dropping, withered, dead,
And We saw the frail foundation
Earthly hopes were builded on;
While we revel in their brightness
In moment they are gone.
Though Of earth the fruits and blossoms
Droop beneath the Iee-King's breath,
May the spirit-howers we cherish,
Never feel the glance of death
From the frosts of June be guarded
And by cultures training hand,
Be perfected into beauty
Fit 10 grace a tdirer land.
Bloomfield, June, 1859.

LEAVES ARE CHENIsTs.-Have you ever
considered the amount of surface single
tree presents to the atmosphere? Measure
a leaf; take the area of one side, multiply
it by two, 1.-THE number of sides, and that
product by the number Of leaves on single
treel This surface is all necessary to the
growth of the tree. If you take off part
of the leaves, those which remain, grow
broader; they separate from the atmosphere,
and swallow the food adapted to the wants
Of the tree. Think of this, reader. Here
is suggestion for some interesting pencil
work. You have pencil and a power to
use it. Burn plant, and how small a
portion remains as ashesl Where is the
balance? In the atmosphere. Where,
then, does the plant obtain this organic
matter for its construction? Not akegeth-
er from the atmosphere direct But when
we consider that each square inch of the
surface of the leaves of some plants contain
from 10000 to 10000 mouths, which
absorb and assist in preparing the food for
the plant, we may form some idea Of their
importance.

and death with me. Can you get me to it?
Have you got an engine here? Where is
the Superintendent" ?"
The section master had an Office near by
and the two went to find that official and to
procure an engine. The traveller stated his
case-he must 90 on could not delay
and offered the officer $3.50, if he would
put him on board the train. This strange
demand and strange offer caused the sta
ton master to hasten to do What he could.
The fire was not out in the engine that had
drawn the train to that point-the bargain
was settled-a draft given on New York
for the $3.50. and in ten minutes the trav-
eler started with an engine to overtake the
flying Express.
After rushing on for some thirty or forty
miles, some connection gave way and the
engine was stopped-the engineer found
the difficulty, and in a very few minutes
had wooden pin whitfield out and fitted to
supply the deficiency. With this, on they
flew. The train had, of course, many miles
the start of them, and despite the wooden
pin the engineer crowded Oh the steam and
tore through the country at a fearful rate.
Thirty miles of the distance passed was run
in t,ceRty-Sere,a minutes, but the engagement
was that they should overtake the train,
and do it they must and do it they did,
but not till more than one hundred miles
had been run. and they were approaching
Toledo. Having at length overtaken and
stopped the train and hurried on board, the
traveller went eagerly to berth in a sleep
ing car. and took therefrom carpet-bag
containing $4,000. His treasure was
safe-none had molested it, and dismissing
his faithful courier, he went on his way re-
joicing at the success of his perilous and
exciting adyenture-C Clereldad LedIar.
