Young Men.


The article below has so muck of truth and

Everybody knows how common it is fortold

from rising in the world by snccrs at the youth
fulness of the aspirants-as even in the case Of
Wolpolc, whose tOunts against Pitt 50 signoly
failed to depress the latter, aud served to damn
their author TO everlasting fame" No young
man OF talents, but has had such enemies to
cnc"uutcr-mcn who seem to take IL iicndish de-
light, and cherish u certain malicious pleasure
in seeking to dcprcss everything like genuine
enthusiasm and the buoyant ambition of the
bright boy or brilliant young man.
" This arises half from their malice and as
much from sheer ignorance of the nature and
temperament Of genius. When the climber up
ward has gained y place among his peers, then
it is that these miserable hattcrcrs crngo and
fawn as basely as they formerly maligncd and
ridiculcd him, and would fain crowd out of sight
his old friends and staunch adhorcntS In his
green age and budding season, the youth of
genius Graves and requires sympathy 1t is

TmE SLAVE CAPTURES On Wednesday last
full rugged ship tho Erie, arrived at New York
from the coast of Africa. The Erie was captured
on the Sth of August by the United States steamer
Michigan with 897 slaves on board Thirty of
the negroes died on tho passage from the place of
capture to Monrovia, where the survivors were
landed Three prisoners, supposed to be the cap
tam and first and third mates of the Erie were
brought home i'll the vessel. The usual legal pro-
ccedings took place. and warrants were issued for
the detention of the prisoners
II may be noticed that in this case, rs indeed in
most all the captures which have taken place, the
vessel turns out to he the property of u Northern
man. who is probably vaun;ing aboltionst In
more than ono case recently, it has been proved
that members of churches which dcnounce slavery,
have been part owners OF vessels fitted out for the
slave trade, while on the other hand, the people OF
the South, who arc being continually denounced
by the Republican speakers and press, for wishing
to reopen tho African slave trade have rarely any
part or lot in such investments - Guardian

The FIRST LOCOMOTIVE TRIP.-Major Ho-
ratio Allen, the engineer of the New York and
Erie Railroad, in a speech made during the
recent festival occasion, gave the following
account Of the first trip made by locomotive
on this continent -" When was it? Who was
it9 And who awakened it's energies and di-
rected its movements? 1t was in the year
1928, on the banks Of the Lackawaxen, at the
commencement of the railroads connecting the
canal of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany with their coal mines-and he who ad.
dresses Yen was the only person on that loco
motive. The circumstances which led to my
being alone on the engine, were these: The
road bad been built in the summer; tho struc-
ture was of hemlock timber, and rails of large
dimensions notched on caps, placed far apart
The timber had cracked and warped, from ex-
posure to the sun. After about 300 feet of
straight line, the road crossed the Lackawaxen
creek on trestle work about 30 feet high, with
a curve Of 355 to 400 feet radius. The impress
sion was very general that the iron monster
would either break down the road or it would
leave the track at the curve and plunge into
the creek. My reply TO such apprehensions
was that it wAs too late to consider the proba-
bility Of such occurrence; there was no other
course than to have trial made Of the strange
animal, which had been brought here at
gneat expense; but that it was not necessary
that more thanone should bs involved in its
fate; that would take the first ride alone,
and the time would come when should look
back to the incident with great interest As I
placed my hand on the throttle valve handle,
L was undecided rs to whether should move
slowly or with q fair degree Of speed but be-
lieving that the road would prove safe, and
prsferring, if We did 60 down, to 70 hand
somely, and without any evidence Of timidity,
I started with considerable velocity, passed
the curve over the creek safely. and was soon
out of hearing Of the vast assemblage. At the
end of two or three miles I reversed the valve,
and returned without an accident, having thus
made the first railroad trip, by locomotive, on
the Western hemisphere" - 7r-& (
