TINE DOES IT. Time has a wonderful power

young man first emerges from school and enters
upon the career oflfe itis painfully amusing To
out'-that he is master of all knowledge and
can unrave all mysteries. But as he grows old
er he grows wiser; he learns that ne knows a
great deal less than he supposed he did, and
by the time he reaches three score years, he is
prepared to adopt as his own the sentiment Of

ERIE RAILwAY.-In our columns to-
day will be found the new Time Table of
this road, which took effect on the 18th inst
Several important changes have been made
with which all our readers should become
familiarized The Ene 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 it's officers and agents, the
grandeur and sublimity of the section of
country which it traverses, but to the great
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 Carr's
Rock, no human prescience could have avert
to its occurrence not a single passenger was
injured on this roadi and it is generally adj
nIitted 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 a
condition, as the average of those in the
country. To render it safe beyond a ques-
tion however the company is substituting
steel rails as fast as possible for the defec-
tive iron ones; laying a double track on the
Delaware division, and doing everything to
place the road in the most thorough condi-
ton The 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 s. As less than any other
route-a fact which our readers will do well
to bear in mind, when visiting the East
either on business or for pleasure.
