In the current issue Of the Rail,ra!
Agc-thc leading railway publication
I OF tine country-we find the following
tribute to the Louisville q Nashville

Gifted by lis enlightened and human'
policy throughout the terrible pesti
lcnoc Of last fall
The popular assertion that "corpo.
rations have no souls was grandly
contradicted by the generous liberali
ty Of the railway companies, especial
ly Of those in portions Of the South,
during the yellow fever epidemic Of
last year. We have nov obtained the
record Of the part borne by that
greatest Of Southern lines, the Louis
Vile & Nashville a Great Southern,
during that disiressful period. The
following facts speak for themselves,
but It may he added that henccforth
the name Of this company and the
names Of its officers will be held in
grateful remembrance by the people
Of the stricken regions.
During the yellow fever epidemic
this road. by night and day exertion
on the part of the management, was
kept open throughout, constituting
the only avenue to the South during
the dire visitation. The estimated
loss from the interruption of traffic is
100000; of pounds freight carried
free fr sufferers, 100000 Of
persons carried free and at reduced
rates on account Of epidemic, 10000;
money value of free transportation,
$4,000; Of employees who died Of
yellow fever, IL; attacked, l45; Of
persons thrown out Of employment by
decrease Of traffic, 5000.
Estimated loss to employees from in
terruption Of employment, $4,000;
by officers and employees
10 sufferers. 81. 200; number of officers
and employees. 5000. The road ran
/ $50 miles Of special trains, with
nurses and supplies for relief of rural
points. The company carefully nursed
its own employees, employing doctors
and staff Of nurses for the purpose,
and il inferred those who succumbed,
at cost of IS, 200.
With barely an exception all the
employees stuck to their posts during
the continuance of the epidemic, Wy
ing with each other in their devotion
to the company and ministering to the
sick. Employees also in the non-afiect-
ed districts ofthe road did not hesitate
to take part in the affected districts
General Superintendent Rowland,
to whom we are indebted for the
above figures, adds
$50 general was the manifestation
of devotion on the part Of the en-
ployes that il would be hard to give
prominence to any particular case, but
! do not think any one will grudge
the singing out Of Geo. W. Ernest
and his wife, who were in charge Of
the company's hotel at Paris, Tenn,
and who both succumbed to the fatal
destroyer in the midst Of a heroic and
devoted attention to the company's
sick employees. 1t is sad spot in a
a sad history. May such another Wis
itation be far distant"

Ii would be utterly impossible 10
tell how many constitutions have been
impaired, how many digostions ruined.
how many compilations spoiled, and
how many purses emptied, through
medicine. What is that you say
that a stitch in time saves nine, and
that the right medicine, quickly taken,
averis danger? Very likely. | quite
believe that. But in nineteen cases
out Of twenty, where is the danger,
and what is the emergency of the
case? Medicine is often the precursor
of afier.misery, and the poor consti

ture has a selfrighting power within
her. There is kind of ris modiod-

body kindly; let as much pure air as
possible get to the lungs, and as much
fresh water as possible he applied to
the flesh, and as much healthy exer-
else as duty permits be given to the
muscles, and early rising, as circum-
stances allow, be afforded for the re-
cruitment of the brain, and then
medicine will be very avoidable

The ice crop of the Upper Missis-
sippi, is very great, and the same is
true of other Northern rivers from
Minnesota to Maine; but the prOba-
bility is that more ice is taken from
the Hudson than from any other
stream or body of water, not only in
the United States. but in all the
world. The harvest this year has
been the most successful ever known,
both as regards quantity and quality.
The total capacity of the ice houses
along the Hudson exceeds 1000, 900
tons. These have been filed to over
flowing with ice Of the finest kind,
and upward of a million tons in addi-
ton have been stocked for early con-
sumption.
During the gathering time over 49,
600 men, nearly 1000 boys, 800 hor-
ses, and 100 steam engines, were en-
ployed in getting in the crop, The
pay of the harvesters has ranged from
81 to sl.75 a day. The season began
the first week in January, and con-
tinued throughout the month"; 1Sci-

Tho circumstances Of the origin Of
this beautiful hymn are as follows;
Mr.. Fawcett was settled as pastor
Of IN humble church in Wainsgate,
Yorkshire, England. His meagre
salary poorly suiiiced for the wants Of
his family, and when, few years Ia
ter, he was invited to become the sue.
ccssor Of the Rev. DIR. Gill rs pastor
Of q church in the city Of London, II
seemed almost a matter Of course that
he should accept. He had preached
his farewell sermon and had actually
commenced removal by sending for
ward his library and a part of his
household goods to London. His poor
people were almost broken hearted;
men, women and children clinging to
him in aiiectionate remembrance. The
last wagon was being loaded when the
good man and his wife sat down on
ono Of the packing cases to weep. 20,
John. said the kind hearted wife, IL
can't bear this. | don't know how to
go" "Nor / either" said Mr.. Faw.
cett, "nor will we GO" Unload the
wagons and put every thing back in
is place" The affections of church
were stronger than the attractions of
London; and so this noble man buck
led on the armor for renewed service
On a salary Of less than three hundred
dollars a year. 1t was then that he
wrote this beautiful hymn, which has
come to be known almost as widely as
the language in which it was written. !
