ERIE RAILwAY.-In our columns to-
day will be found the new Time Table of
this road, which took effect on the til inst.
Several important changes have been made
with which all our readers should become
familiarized. The Erie Railway has long
held leading position in the great chain of
roads uniting the West with the East, which
is not alone attributable to the superior &C
commodations afforded passengers, the uni
form civility of its officers and agents, the
grandeur and sublimity of the section of
country which it traverses, but to the great
vigilance exercised in the running Of trains
and providing against accidents.
Despite the closest scrutiny and circum-
spection, however, all great and important
thoroughfares are liable to accidents. In
the case of the recent accident near Cars
Rock no human prescience could have avert
ed the sad catastrophe. For four years prior
TO it's occurrence not n single passenger was
injured on this road; and it is generally adj
mitted that no Line went into the past win
ter in a better condition. in all respects than
the Erie; but so unusually long and severe
was the winter, that the iron in some parts
of the road yielded to it's rigid severity
Yet at this time the road is in as perfect
condition, as the average of those in the
country To render it safe beyond ques-
ton however, the company is substituting
steel rails as fast as possible for the defec-
tive iron ones; laying double track on the
Delaware division, and doing everything to
place the road in the most thorough condi-
ton. The 81 100000 which the Company
recently came into the possession OF will en-
able all of these improvements to be made.
AS showing one of the most prominent
achievements already secured by the work
which is being pushed rapidly forward, we
might mention the fact that the trains at
present experience no detention, but arrive
at New York and the principal Eastern cit
les at the same hour as rival lines
The Erie continues to issue through tick
cts to New York at 81 as less than any other
route-a fact which our readers will do we'll
to bear in mind, when visiting the East
either on business or for pleasure.

some time he was able to walk home.
In few days he again made his ap,
pearance at school. A crowd assem-
bled round him on the play ground as
soon as he entered it; but George
Osborne modestly stood aloof. Henry
fastened toward George, and warmly
grasping his hand, said:
Il have already written to you, to
tell you how sorry | am that behav-
ed to you as i did; and l will now
again beg your pardon before all my
schoolfellows. l hope to be different
from what | have BEEN"
George and Henry shook hands
warmly, and from that day they were
on the most friendly terms. Henry
became generally liked by his school
fellows, and, what was still better, be-
came truly pious youth. He is now
an earnest and thoughtful young man !;
and it is but few days ago since l
heard from him the above events of
his life, which he gave me as com
ment upon that truth of Scripture, ga

SOVEREIGN RECIPE roR DIARRHGA.

SOVEREIGN RECIPE FOB DIARRHGA-
Put in a large pitcher two tablespoon
fuls of carbonate soda and four of loaf
sugar, pour on these pint of hot
water, when they are perfectly dissolv-
cd add half pint of cold water, then
put iu tablespoonful of pulverized
Turkey rhubarb or two ounces of the
tincture, small teaspoonful of lauda

mint or enough of the tincture to
give 1t a respectable taste, and lastly.
half a pint of good French brandy.
Bottle up carefully, and administer to
the patient in doses equal to halt a
wine glass full three times day, or as
often as the bowels are moved In
extreme cases, accompanied by gripping
pains, double the proportion of brandy
and laudanum, and use freely. Give
it a fair trial; no family should be
without it.

SOMETHING FOR THE PREACHERs.-The
Presbyterian Index speaking about its
hardships says:
"The conclusion that have reached
from my own experience and that of
the conductors of the other religious
papers, is that whatever else may be
done in the way of work, or the con-
tribution of money as capital, no de-
n0minational paper can possibly succeed,
aoithout the dctiUe co cooperation Of the
ministry aoithin the field of its circulation;
and on the other hand, with tho hearty
cooperation of the ministry, it as I'M
possible for a church to fail, though it
should commence without capital and
be confined to the limits of single
State"
We commend the above paragraph
to our preachers. 1t puts the whole
case Of success, or failure of religious
newspapers in nutshell. To secure
this hearty cooperation, we are send
ing free of charge, over one hundred
copies Of our paper to the preachers;
which we very cheerfully do, if-well
you see the point.

ANECDoTE OF HUME.-An amusing
anecdote is told of Dr. Robinson, of
Scotland, who, with a ready wit, drew
an illustration from a misfortune of
David Hume, to point an argument. 1t
was as follows:
The celebrated Mr.. Hume wrote an
essay on the efficiency of nature; and
the no less celebrated DR.. Robinson on
the necessity of Revelation, and the
insufficiency Of the light of nature,
Hume came one evening to visit Rob.
inson, and the evening was spent on
the subject. The friends of both were
present, and it is said, that Robinson
reasoned with his accustomed clear
ness and power Whether Hume was
convinced by his reasoning or not, we
cannot tell; but at any rate he did not
acknowledge his conviction. Hume
was very much of gentleman, and as
he rose to depart, bowed politely to
those IN the room, while, as he retired
tn, ough the door, Robinson took the
light to show him the way.
90, sir" he continued, II find the
light of nature always sufficient" as
he bowed on.
The street door was open, and pres
entity, he stumbled over something
concealed, and pitched down stairs
into the street. Robinson an after
him with candle, and, as he held it
over him, whispered, softly and Gun,
ningly:
"You had better have light from
above, friend Hume" and raising him
up, he babe him good night and re-
turned to his friends.

AFTER THE BURIAL.
BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

Yes, Faith is a goodly anchor:
When skies are sweet as a psalm.
AT the bows it Tolls so stalwart
In bluff broad shouldered calm.
ana when, over breakers to leeward
The tattered surges are hurled,
1t may keep ogr head to the tempest.
With its grip ON the base of the world.
But after the shipwreck, tell me
What help in its iron thews,
Still true to the broken hawser,
Deep down among sea-weed and oozeP
In the breaking CULTS of sorrow,
When the helpless feet stretch out,
And find in the deeps of darkness
No footing so solid as doubt
Then better one spar of memory,
One broken plank of the past,
That our human heart may cling to,
Though hopeless of shore at last!
To the spirit its splendid conjectures,
To the flesh it's sweet despair,
Its tears DER the thin-worn locket
With its beauty of deathless hairl
immortal? / feel it and know it;
Who doubts it of such as she?
But that is the pang's very secret
Immortal away from me
There's narrow ridge in the graveyard
Would scare stay a child in his race;
But to me and my thought it is wider
Than the star sown vague of space.
Your logic, my friend, is perfect,
Your morals most drearily true,
But the earth that stops my darling's ears
Makes mine insensate too.
Console, if you will; l can bear it;
IT'S a well-meant aims of breath;
But all the preaching since Adam
Has made Death other than Death.
Communion in spirit Forgive me,
But who am earthly and weak,
Would give all my incomes from dreamlano
For her rose-leaf palm on my check!
That little shoe in the corner,
So worn and wrinkled and brown
Its motionless hollow confutes you,
And argues your wisdom down,

WHAT WILL You SAY THEs?-While
Hopu, young Sandwich Islander, was
in America, be spent an evening in
company where an iuidel lawyer tried
to puzzle him with difficult questions.
At length the native said:
" | am poor heather boy. 1t is not
strange that my plumbers in English
should amuse you. But soon there
will be larger meeting than this We
shall all be there. They will ask us
all one question, namely, DO you love
the Lord Jesus CHRISTI Now, sir, l
think / can say, yes. What will you
say, sir?"
When he had stopped, all present
were silent. At length the lawyer said
that, as the evening was far gone, they
had better conclude it with prayer, and
proposed that the native should pray
He did so; and as he poured out his
heart to God, the lawyer could not
conceal his feelings. Tears started
from his eyes, and he sobbed aloud.
All present wept too; and when they
separated, the words, What will you
say, sir?" followed the lawyer home,
and did not leave him till he was
brought to our Saviour.

CLosEr wokg.-Fibs to the closet as
your life, your safeguard, your hope,
your joy. God is there, Jesus Christ,
the Holy Spirit, salvation. No one
can discharge family duties aeceptably,
household ministrations, governmental
relations; no one can resist the wiles
of the devil manfully, sustain an
equilibrium of calm, peaceful, humble
resignation and iioyfulness. without
gaining wisdom and strength in the
closet. Wives, do you believe this!
Mothers, do you? Mark well, behold
that mother, that daughter, coming
from the closet, with face shining
with holiness as did that of Nose
when descending the Mount of God
What now? Panoplied? armed with
helmet, sword and shield, her feet shod
with the preparation of the Gospel of
peace? Satan is bruised under her
feet Satan finds no Judgment. All
his fiery darts are hurled in vain. She
is clothed with humility. The graces
of the Spirit shine forth radiantly;
love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gen
tleness, goodness, faith. She goes
forth from the closet armed. Sisters,
mothers, daughters, old and young,
flee to the closet-have your regular
stated seasons, adhere to them strictly,
undeviatingIy. Let no earthly care
| deprive you of these Home Thrusts.

PARDON FOR OMISSIONS.

Dr. Samuel Johnson, writing to his
mother, says:
"You have been the best mother,
and | believe the best woman in the
world l thank you for your indul-
gence to me, and l beg forgiveness for
all have done i'll and all have omit
ted to do o0eIl.'
So in the prayer he composed at the
same time:
"Forgive me whatever | have done
unkindly to my mother, and oohdteUer 1
haze omitted to do kindly"
There is a deep meaning in this.
Our offences against God and our fell
low men are far greater in the omis-
sion of duties than in the commission
of sins. Let any one think 1t over
faithfully, and see if the weight of
condemnation does not rest there. And
how much point in the expression,
"Omitted to do kindly." We might,
often at least, almost as we'll not speak
the truth at all, as to speak it not ''n
love-" so it may often happen that an
act in itself eminently proper has a
dreadful omission about it, simply be
cause it is not done kindly. What i:
charity, however bountifully bestowed
if sympathy be wanting? 1t is often
positive insult.
Without pursuing the hint farther
let each one search for the catalogue
of what he hoe left undone, and strive
for a bottom spirit and better life.

What VIII Susan Say I?
BY E. NJ. SPENCER.

Two suitors came for Susan's hand,
Appealing to her sire;
Spoke OF their loves and breadth of land,
Before hickory fire.
The old man heard them long and well,
In his old fashioned way.
And looking where the ashes fell,
Thought, "What would Susan say?"
The one he told of large estate,
OF fields and acres wide,
And Susan was the bright-eyed mate
He would claim for his bride.
The old man eyed this suppliant vain,
With gems of brightest ray,
And looking in the fire again,
Thought, what will Susan say?"
His sinews showed no sign of toll,
Nor of the wealth acquired,
No proof that from the teeming soil
Or labor else attired;
'eWealth might take wings, and DONG SO
Might speedily fly away
And the old man gazing in the glow
Thought "What will Susan say?'
The other had but his good heart,
The stout arms at his side,
And setting all things else "rart.
Claimed Susan for his bride
Tho old man feared that these might tire,
Life was a lifelong way,
And looking in the hickory fire,
Thought, 'sWhat will Susan say?''
yet there was work for all to do
Ana more homes yet must grow

TRUST IN JEsUs.-A doctor, who was
once visiting Christian patient, had
himsef been anxious to feel that he
was at peace with God-the Spirit of
God had convinced him of his sin and
need, and he longed to posses that
peace which the world cannot give"
On this occasion, addressing himself to
the sick one, he said: II want you
lust to tell me what it is, this believing
and getting happiness-faith in Jesus,
and all that sort Of thing that trings
peace?" His patient replied: doctor,
have felt that could do nothing, and
have put my case in your hand-I
am trusting in y0u. This is exactly
what every poor sinner must do in the
Lord Jesus" THIS reply greatly ava
kened the doctors surprise, and new
light broke in upon his soul. as that
all?" be exclaimed, Simply trusting in
the Lord Jesus" II see it as | never
did before He has done the work
Yes, Jesus said on the cross, Tt is fin

him shall not perish, but have ever
lasting life!' From that sick bed the
doctor went happy man-rejoicing
that his sins we're washed away in the
blood of the Lamb.
