ENTERING AND LEAVING A ROOM.

as the "Champion" said which he sent
his opponent "to grass" at the first blow.

Very odd fellows are occasionally permit

great genius. A man must be decided

take offhs hat before entering, He may
either carry it in with him, or leave it in
the ball. But if he takes it with him he
must rot leave it behind. And vice ger
So. If there be brick in it he had bet

he has entered the room he must reflect

lady should enter a room also, and more

the door be too narrow she has two al

it grows widor. We will not attempt to
dictate her choice in so delicate n contin-

hoops, to say nothing of her hopes.
Having entered, she may sit down-if
she fluids the furniture convenient. She
must be able CON Y to remain momcut,
after which she is at liberty to spend two
hours and forty minutes-the two hours
being employed in gossip, and the forty

SIXTEEN YEARS OLD,

1t is just sixteen years since Professor
Morse put up the first Electric Telegraph
in America. The first piece ofnews sent
over it was the nomination of James X.
Polk, for President, made at Baltimore,
and announced in Washington, cover
two hours in advance of the mail"
No one at that day, probably not even
the Professor himself, dreamed how
closely the Electric Wire would be inter-
woven with Our daily life. Now, rail.
road trains are run by electricity. Thieves
are caught by electricity. Lost children
are found by electricity. Watches are
set and clocks strike by electricity. Fire
bells are rung by electricity. Armies
march and fleets sail at its bidding
Treaties are negotiated at its word. Two
friends in remote towns, by its help, sit
down and have friendly game of chess.
Two Emperors, thousand miles apart,
carry on the seige ola distant city.
BY night it flies all over the world,
gathering news to serve up to It's at break
fast. BY day it flies all over the world,

summoning help to wreck, here buying
pork by the hundred barrels, there sell.

ranging for feasts and fights, for sermons

Nights is tame beside the reality of the

The Republican National Plat
form.

Never since the Republic of the United
Stases has had name and a place among
the nations of the earth; hns nobler po-
litical creel been put forth than that
adopted by the Republican National Con
vention yestere av. 1t is perfect work
animate with the life spirit of Patriot
ism-warm with the lreathings of Lib
erty, Justice and true d ,mo,f cy--com-
prehensiye in everything pertaining to
the wants, institutions and welfare of our
common country.
The Platform has been framed with
admirable discretion, embodvine, as it
does in emphatic and unmistakeable Ian
guage, the whole Republican creed -
nothing moro, and rotling less.
The principles enunciated by it, will
commend themselves to all true Ameri-
can citizens. They are the principles of
the Republic, from its earliest day-the
principles upon which the Republic has
been reared and made strong, aid by the
abandonment of which, it would fall from
its high estate, and be unworthy of the
worlds respect or of a a freeman's pride
and confidence
Every Republican in the land-evcry
lover Of liberty-every true friend of the
country's political apd material prosperi-
ty, wifi hail this noble Platform of Prin-
ciples with delight, and regard it as an
augury of q better day to come for the
Ans. lean Nation.

BALTIMORE, May %.

A tido over over the Baltimore q Ohio
R. r., is a thing to be remembered-an
event of life time. The route from
Wheeling, through the mountains, is a
continual succession of wonders of Nature,
and miracles of Art. Other pens have
graphically described the scene, but none
can give an adequate conception of its
grandedr, and sub!imity, and the stupen-
dous triumphs of Art over opposing Ma
ture. 1t seems as if God had intended
to throw barrier across the State, had
shut every avenue-closed every way of
passage and then set the grand old noun
tains. with their frowning brows to guard
the fast barred gates, and frown intru-
ders away. But the energetic will, and
the wealth of man, has pierced through
the very heart of this wild region, and the
shrieking engine safely leads the loaded
trains-now ON dizzy nights, winding
around the side of some vast rugged
mountain, with just foothold for its
iron feet, while frightful abysses yawn
below, - now rushing through narrow
dcfiles, walled closely il by the forest
clad and far up-stretching mounting sides
now rushing into some arched tunnel,
and plungirg in darkness and mystery,
through the very bowels Of the seeming
ly grooming earth, the burning lamps
giving just light enough to add to the
frightful effect, and make the gloom and
darkness visible. If one wants to see a
vast and rapidly shifting ranaroma, with
views alternately pleasing and grand
sweet and startling-beautiful and sub
lime, he has only to get on the rear of
q passenger train from Wheeling to
Cumberland, and look. 1t seems as if
the world must have been created and
finished up, and this region was reserved
as kind of kitchen garrett into which
Jagged and INDUSTRIOUS mountains, ffag-
ments of huge old forests, yawnlng
ADVISES, and other loose and unused ma
ter:als of creation had been piled togeth-
er in promiscuous fashion. That region
holds enough of such material to supply
the rough decorations for half a dozen
such worlds as this. And the Baltimore
& Ohio r. R. Co., has bridged this i'm
mense chaos with iron bars, faithful sem
tinels watch every rod of the long track
by day and night, and the luxurious cars
rush through this world of wonder and
almost terror, as smoothly and safely as
they glide over the level prairies of the
West.
Strange as it may seem, few pio-
necrs had squatted down in this region
before Baltimore had thrown its light
ming track across it, and it was interest
ing to watch the startled look of some OF
these places--lke that ola person caught
in some unprepared and unexpected stu

man told him that she had been seized with the
pains Of labor during the night. and had been
delivered Of child. On turning down the bed
clothes, the physician did indeed find child,
but in what q horrible condition. The infant
was dead, and its nose, tho upper 1ir, the toes,
and half the left foot. had been devoured by
rats. Tho poor woman was awArc that her child
was dead, but had no idea Of its mutilated con-
dition.
When questioned regarding Inc affair, sle
stated that shortly alter the child was born sto

running about tue bed, but she was two sic,1
and feeble to drive them away. In her semi
conscious state, she says that she was aware
that number Of rats were in and about the
bed for tue remainder Of the night, but she hai
