Narrow euage Railuava-

Now that the subject of building
narrow instead of broad guage rail
ways is Of 50 much interest both
generally and locally, we clip and
commend the following from theErie
Republican:
There is q good deal of talk in
Buffalo about building a narrow
guage railroad from that CITY to
Springville, a town some thirty miles
southeast We also notice that a pro-
position is agitated in this State to
build one of the same kind from Al
lentown via Reading toHarrisburgh.
The narrow guage is two feet six
inches between the rails. They have
been very successful in Europe.
They are used for carrying local
.freights and passengers. The cost
of construction and equipment of
such a road is said to be oly one
third as much as the wide guage.
The speed on these roads is from 20
to 20 miles an hour, and freight can
be carried at one per cent. per ton
per mile and yield a handsome reven-
ue upon the investment. These
roads are used extensively in Wales
and in many places on the continent,
in Australia and in Canada. In the
latter place they are now building q
road of this kind 120 miles long. The
Pacific Pailroad Company are EN-
plOyed ii building one at distance
of 80 miles as a tributary to their
main road. The advantages of the
road are that the grades are material
and the curves no obstacle, as the
cars are short and the guage only
two feet six inches or three feet,
whilst the locomotive weighs from
eight to twelve tons. The passenger
cars are built for twelve passengers,
six on side, and it is said that
there is scarcely any oscillation, and
riding upon the road is much more
pleasant and comfortable than on
the wide guage roads; and besides
the former will be much chea
per and the cost Of transportation
only one third of the present railway
fares and freights.

If three men were to have their
legs and arms broken, and were to
remain all night exposed to the in
clemency of the weather, the whole
country would be in state of the
most dreadful agitation. Look at
the wholesale deaths on the field of
battle, ten acres covered with dead,
and half dead, and dying; and the
shrieks and agonies of many thous-
and human beings. There is more
of misery inflicted on mankind by
one year Of war than by all the civil
peeulations and aggressions ola cen
tury. Yet it is a state into which
the mass of mankind rush with the
greatest avidity, hailing official muir
derers in scarlet and gold, and cocks
feathers, as the greatest and most
glorious of human creatures. 1t is
the business Of every wise and good
man to set himself against his pas
sion for military glory, which really
seems the most fruitful source of
human misery.

A gentleman was heard, yester-
day, remarking to friend who lay
upon a sofa and was shivering, that
he had "better put a newspaper over
his body and get warm" Tie re-
mark was made in a jocular manner,
yet it is fact that persons lying
down in a room where the tempera-
ture is not over 60 degrees can keep
warm by spreading a single news
paper over themseles. Another place
in which the same article may be
used to good advantage for the same
purpose is in a railway car. By lay
ing a newspaper over the shoulder
and arm next to the car windows,
through the crevices of which cold
air forces itself, to the discomfort of
passengers, all its injuriousnes COM
ing in the shape Of coughs and colds,
may be obyiated. The single sheet
of paper will keep out the cold as
effectually as would heavy blanket.
1t is said that a newspaper or two
laid between the sheets and cover
lids of bed viii add much to the
warmth of the sleeper, or rather will
prevent the warmth of the body from
escaping. All this may seem strange
but a trial will prove its correctness.
At least such assurance is given by
those who tested the matter.

RamsrkahIs BOY.

Farmer Bogles was. q Yeracious
old dodger. Ifthere was any thing
he delighted in it was to. secure the
attention of some one while he spun a
yarn about the wonderful 'cuteness
of his boy Tom. Tom was his idol
his hero on every occasion-and
never would the old fellow let his
hero suffer want of q romancer.
"Ahp said Bogles, one day, as he
had fairly fixed his auditor, "Tom is

Pears oftha Brave

1t is a curious fact that men who
have been prodieal of their lives in
battle, and have passed through
many chair breath escapes i tn i'm
minent deadly breach" should have
so great dead of death when it
comes from the hand of an assassin.
1t is said that Cromwell
WIS never seen to smile after
he had read "Killing no Muir
DER" in which was advocated his
assassination. Sir Neil Campbell,
in his journal, gives a graphic ac-
count Of the fear which Napoleon felt
for his life during the journey from
Fontainebleau to Elba. On leaving
Orange, where he had been received
with derision and abuse, he left his
carriage, and enveloping himself in
a Russian cloak, and wearing the
white cockads in a common round
hat, he road on in advance Of his
escort, accompanied by only single
courier, and during the rest of the
journey repeatedly changed names
and clothes with the commissioners
who accompanied him. So chary,
then, of life was the hero Of Lodi.

FORGIVENESS
By JOHN G. WHITTIER.

Ny heart was heavy, for lis trust had been
Abused, its kindness answered with foul wrong:
So turning gloomily from my fellow men,
One Sabbath day strolled among
The green mounds of the village burial place:
Where, pondering how all human love and hate
Find one sad level-and now, soon or late
Wrongsd and wrong ioer, each with meskensd fAeo
And cold hands folded over a still heart,
Pass the green threshold Of our common grave,
Whittier all footsteps tend, whence none depart,
Awed for myself, and pitying my race,
One common sorrow, like mighty wave,
Swept all my pride away, and trembling forgaye.

HOLY LAND.

A land unsmitten by the shame
OF kings, and crafts, from shore to shore
Where Manhood is the sovereign namei
OH thou wild Eagle Of the eragl
If such land was ever known,
Her symbol is starry flag
is our own-itis Is our ownl
Our ownl-there is no land like thee!
And neVer-never was of yore;
On fsld and hood, the soul is free
Forever, and forever morei
The dearest boon that thou canst give,
Oh Father, under Thy blue sky,
Is In land like this to live
And in her sacred cause to die!

The Difference Between a Violin and
a Fiddle.


Half century ago, or less, the
somewhat facitious Reverend DR..
Pond dwelt in the quiet and out-of-
the-way village of A, in the state
of steady habits. The doctors ideas
were hberal-mueh more so than
many of his congregation; never
theless, he kept on the even tenor OF
his way, and disregarded the prejr-
dices Of some Of his people. He had
a son named Enoch, who at an early
age manifested a remarkable talent
for music, which the father cherished
and cultivated with care. In the
same village resided an antiquated
maiden lady, who, having no cares Of
her own 70 occupy her time and at
tention, magnanimOusly devoted her
self of those of her neighbors. One
morning she called al the doctors
and requested to see him. When he
entered the room where she was
seated, he perceived at a glance that
something was amiss, and before he
had time to extend her the usual
"How dye do?' she added
II think, DR.. Pond, that q man Of
your age and profession might have
had something better do, when you
were in New London last week, than
to buy Enoch a fiddle; all the peo-
pie are ashamed that our minister
should buy his son a .fddleI 0n,
dear, what is the world coming to,
when ministers will do such things?'
"Who told you he had a fiddle?'
inquired the doctor.
"Who told me? Why, everybody
says so, and some people have heard
him play on it as they passed the
door. But amt it true, doctor?"
Il bought Enoch violin when I
went to New London"
"a violin? what's that?"
did you never see OneT
"Never."
"Enoeh!" said the doctor, stepping
to the door, "bring your violin 6ere.S
Enoch obeyed the command, but
no sooner had he entered with his
instrument, than the old lady ex-
claimed:
"La! now; there; why, it is a I'D
dlep
'Do not judge rashly," said the
doctor, giving his son a wink; "Wait
till You hear If"
Taking the hint, Enoch played
Old Hundred. The lady was com
pletely mystifed; it looked like a
fiddle, but then who had ever heard
Old Hundred played on a fiddle? It
could not be. So, rising to depart,
she exclaimed, Il am glad 1 came in
to satisfy myself. Law me! Just to
think how people will liep'
