Cot to coinr, and couldn't STOP.

A gentleman was walking up the
steep street toward the State House in
Albany one evening, and boy and sled
came rushing down against the mans
legs, and nearly threw him down, and
sent the boy aud sled tumbling into the
gutter. The boy scrambled up, and
like little gentleman apologized, say
ing, 81 beg pardon, sir, but got to 60
ing, and couldn't stop"
Exactly ike the world is this. Boys
aud men get to going, and cannot stop,
and drive on to destruction. Young
men run into bad company, drink, swear,
go on from step to step; deeper and
still deeper they sink into sin. Re-
monstrate with them, ask why they be-
have so badly, why they rush on to cer-
tain ruin, and they will all tell us, ave
got to going, aud could not stop. There
are thousands Of women in the streets
of great cities, debasod, miserable, rush.
ing straight to perdition. Ask them
why they pursue a course o! crime
which is so degrading and brings such
woe, and they will tell you, eve got
to going, and could not stop" The
broad road is thronged with those who
rush on to ruin. They know it, see
the danger ahead, tremble with fear,
deplore their course of sin, but they
have got to going, and cannot stop"
The power Of habit, the currents Of in
fiuence, the alluremen.s of sin, all COM
bine to burl them onward to their doom.
God sets good men, Affections, and
in the path OF the sinner to
stop him in his career. When be is up
set, crushed, and rebuked by severe
providences, then is the time for him to
Tetrace his steps. But, if he does not
heed the divine admonitions, he will
soon be going the downward way faster
han before, and find it even more diff
cult to stop. Ruin, eternal ruin, is the
certain doom of millions, because they
get to going, and cannot stop. - Bap-
list Union.

The following items VIC clip from the
Forest Republican:
A rattlesnake having eleven rattles
on the extreme hind end of his tail was
killed on HolemaD's island few days
ago. We have heard several other
snake stories, but hesitatcd about pub
fishing them, because the snakes and
tie stories were most too large.
I. b. Cobb, Esq, met with painful
Though not serious accident on Friday
evening of last week He was coming
to town from the Coon creek mill, in a
light buggy with his small team on u
smart trot, when one of the fore wheels
struck a stump, and threw Mr.. COBB
out and he struck his forehead ou a
stone. lie has a black eye, peeled
forehead, and stiff neck, but will soon
be all right again. The horses being
gentle, stopped as soon as the accident
occurred, else serious damage might
have resulted.
The Messrs. Cobb have just finished
a new steam mill mile and half up
Coon Creek, from their other mill.
which was set running last week. They
have also made arrangements to lease
two mills on Hemlock Creek, above
President. These mills, with the one
on Toms Run, Clarion county, make
five large saw mills they are running.
They will employ during the summer
about 175 meu on an average,
and in the winter an indefinite number.
They are the most extensive lumber
men in this region, and deserve to be
rich men if energy and management
will do it.

Religion and Business.

No business should be engaged IN, on
which the blessing Of God cannot be
asked. Think of the rumseler asking
God to prosper him in his business,
which would be in effect asking God to
send him fathers, husbands, brothers
and sons, that he might debauch and
ruin them. AS well the murderer pray
for victims, Or the devil that he'll may
be peopled.
Religion has to do, not on ly with the
choice OF business, but with the man
ner of its prosecution, God may be
glorifed, or his cause dishonored, by
the manner in which business is done.
An active business man, conducting his
business according to Christian prnci-
piles, scrupulOusly just and honest, tax
ing no mean advantage, giving to the
laborer his hire, aud more than the mere
payment Of wages, having an eye to the
highest and best interests Of all whom
he employs, and giving OF his income
to God, as God prospers him, such a
man is a witness for God in his bust
ness; he confesses Christ in his business,
and such a testimony is worth thous-
and verbal testimonies unaccompanied
by such occular demonstrations. Such
a life, is like a city on hill that cannot
be hio, and sheds hallowed influence
far and wide on every side.

The burlington Ronte," SO called

pire. 1t runs almost Immediately in the
centre OF the great westward movement
of emigration. Crossing Illinois and
Iowa, it strikes the Missouri river a
three points.
These three points are the gateway
into three great sections of the trans
Missouri region.
The Northern gate is Omaha, where
the great Pacific road will take you to
the land of gold aud grapes, sunny
mountains, and perpetual summer.
The middle gate is Plattsmouth, which
opens upon the south half of Nebraska,
south of the Platte river, a region un.
surpassed on the continent for agricul-
ture and grazing Just here are the B.
& NJ. Railroad lands, concerning which
Geo. S. Harris, the land officer at Bur
lington, Iowa, can give you all informa-
tion, and in the heart of them is Lin
coin, the State Capital and present ter
minus of the road.
The Southern gate leads to Kansas,
by connection with the St. Joe Road at
Hamburg, running direct to St. ice and
Kansas City.
The trains OF the Burlington run
smoothly and safely, and make all con.
nections. 1t runs the best Of coaches

you can buy on ten years credit, and at
a low price. v1n2y1.

The New Haven Courier relates the
following: In lawyers office, in a re-
mote part Of the STATE, lay mortgage
for eleven hundred dollars, which was
within a few days of being due. One
morning the man, Of whose place the
mortgage was held, called and inquired
if the payment could not be put off for
short time. He was man somewhat
advanced in life, and very Incorporate.
He pleaded for a time; but to no pur-
pose. Overcome with emotion, the old
man sank into a chair, and there sat for
two hours, apparently unconscious of
anything passing around him, when a
carriage drove up to the door, aud a lady
stepped from it. She entered the office
