colored men don't want to mix up with the white

TRIAL TRIP OF THE FIRST LoCoMoTIvE.-Major
Horato Allen, the engineer of the New York and
Erie railroad, gives the following account of the
first trip made by locomotive on this continent
' When was it? And who awakened its ener-
ges and directed its movement? 1t was in the
year 1928. on the banks of the Lackawaxen Penn
sylvania, at the commencement of the railroad
connecting the canal of the Delaware and Hud-
son Canal company with their coal mines-aEd
he who addresses you was the only person on
that locomotive. The circumstances which led
to my being alone on the road were these: The
road had been built in the summer the structure
was of hemlock timber, and rails of large de-
mensiOns notched in caps placed far apart. The
timber had cracked and warped from exposure
to the SUM- After about 300 feet of straight line
the road crossed Lackawaxen creek on trestlr-
work about 80 feet high, with curve of 355 to
400 feet radius. The impression very gen.
eral that the iron monster would either brake
down the road, or it would leave the track at the
curve and plunge into the creek. My reply to
such apprehensions that it was too late to
consider the probability of such occurrences {;
there was no other course than to have trial
made of the strange animal, which had been
brought here at great expense but that it was
not necessary that more than one should be in
volved in its fate that would take the first ride
alone, and the time would come when should
look to the incident with great interest. AS |
placed my hand on the throttle valve handle, |
was undecided whether | would move slowly or
with fair degree of speed but believing that
the road would prove safe, preferring if We go
down, to go handsomely, and without any evil
dence of timidity. started with considerable
velocity, passed the curve over the creek safely,
and soon out of hearing of the vast assemblage.
At the end of two or three miles reversed the
valve and returned without accident, having
thus made the first railroad trip by locomotive
ON the western hemiSnhere. "

Tue BRAIN IN SLEEP.-It was an old error
the physoog'ib tb brs brs there m sas moss
r,ucb during sleep as in wakefulness but this.
was was disproved by Blumenbach, and still more
convincingly by Donders, who made cruel
though striking experiment on the subject. He
cut away part of the skull of an animal and ce-
mented in its place piece of glass; through
which he could observe the brain in its different
states. In the waking state The brain is larger
than it is during sleep, while in the latter con-
dtion it becomes pale and bloodless. If the
animal be disturbed by dreams, flush suffnses
part of the brain: and after complete wakeful-
oess the cerebral substance becomes turbid with
blood, the surface being bright red, while
vessels, invisible during sleep, are filled with
blood coursing rapidly through them. The OBJ
servations made show that there rs less seterial
blood eoursing through the brain during sleep,
and that consequently the conditions of waste
are absent, while there is still sufficient left to
repair the matter which has been wasted.

THREE-ScoRE YEARS AND TEN N"-What sub
ject is more interesting, more readily COM
mands respect and attention than that of yirtu-
Gus age? Let US introduce to your notice,
reader, the man of seventy years. He is mou-
ument of that which is gone-the link connect
ing the past and the present. Many who COM
menced lite's journey with him have gone to
that undiscovered country from whose silent
bourne no traveller returns'-ye he remains.
The ties of consangunity, one by one, have been
severed-and he is left to finish his course on
earth alone. In him mutations excite
prse-they bring dsquietude - life is no
longer a romance-the world no enigma. The
motives OF conduct, passing strange" to life's
novice, are to him palpabe and commonplace.
The potency OF money-the grip OF sordid ava
rice-the misers tendency and end-the love of
place and the abuse of power--the corruption of
rulers and the hckleness of the governed-the
prosecutions of the wise and the rewards of the
evil-are to him history painfully familiar. Ex-
perience has impaired to him sage counsel, and
her lessons have had practical application.
Once ambition goaded him onward, in. wild
career, to fight for "a name" He succeeded.
Passion was for years the motive power, and
with unquestioned fidelity, in the - broad road "
in winch its thousand subjects wander, be
obeyed its impulse But change has come o 'er
the spirit of his dream. His name, which cost
him days of toll and nights of vigilance, though
engraven high in Fame's temple, he now regards
as light as the gossamer web-as heeting as the
morning mist The golden imagery of the world,
once seemingly bright, now appears tarnshed
and clouded-its pageantry, once unspeakably
attractive, is now, in his judgment, unsatisfying
and puerie-for God to him has become all in
all. He having lived his "three-score years
and ten, with silYered locks and feeble frame,
stands life's outpost and takes retrospect OF
his journey. He contemplates a devious path
way. surrounded by alternate good and i'll, ln-
cident to life. He sees obstacles over which he
mphed-dangers avoded-friends aided, ana
