stoppages ; on tbe Erie* pail-road it is
between twenty-five and’' thirty; and
on the Great Western, between Albany
and Boston, it is^ nearly as great.
Occasionally trains have been run on
the3e roads at a velocity even
'greater than the usual express trains in
England ; and on trial trips, a speed
has been attained nearly,not quite,
as great as on the British roads. That
a higher velocity is not -ordinarily em
ployed, is owing to the increased danger
of accidents, and to the rapid ratio at
which the wear and tear of tbe road
progresses under the accelerated speed.
We can best illustrate this augmented
wear and tear by endeavoring to obtain
a definite itfea of what a speed of sev
enty mile# per hour means. Seventy
miles an hour is one hundred and five
feet every second ; that is, the passen
ger is carried thirty-five yands between j
the beats of a common clock. Wheni
two trains having this velocity pass]
each other, the relative speed will be {
doubled, and if one of the trains was j
.seventy yards long, it would flash by in |
a single second. If the driving wheel of
a locomotive is seven feet in diameter,
the wheel would revolve five .times in
passing over the thirty-five yards, con
sequently five times every second. To

A greenhorn, fresh caught—came.to the

by the above cubaUistrc syllables. Up
on one side of Broomfield street he saw
the big sign, upon the other the, word
** Museum.”
“Wall,” said he to himself, “I’ve
hearn tell of them museums, but a
‘ living age,' big or little, must be one of
the curiosities we read about.”
He stepped quietly across the street,
and wiping his face, approached one of
the windows in which were displayed
several loose copies of the work. He
read uptfn the covers “ Littell’s Living
Age,” and upon a card “Popular Mag
azines—only one of its kind in the coun
try,” &c.
“ Magazine!—wall, that beats thun

against the Caucassian. He is totally
destitute of shame and insensible to the
opinions olllie world. He would blacken
the purest and most spotless character if
he could thereby succeed in his engross
ing desire of self-promotion. He is as
inconsistent and shifting as the vane of
the weather cock, or the winds of hea
ven. He would sacrifice justice, right,
mercy, constitution and country to catch
the popular breeze. He pretends to an
awful zeal in behalf of the rights of
those whose favor he is courting. He
claims prescience of events and credit
for bringing them about. He endeavors
to torture his own rets done for one
purpose as having been done for any
other that may be popular at the hour.
He has neither soul, heart or courage.
His appetite grows with what it feeds
upon. The best men, and indeed na
tions, have been his victims, and yet his
ravenous maw is ever unsatisfied. Like
Nero, he laughs when his country is
burning. Like Satan, he offers those
whom he is templing, “all the king
doms of the world and the glory of
them.” He administered the deadly
poison lo the patriot Phocion, and the
fatal hemlock to the virtuous Socrates.
He is the wooden horse who enters our

rible monster that will crush, if not

subtle machinations. He has been the
bane of nil the confederations that have
ever existed. He destroyed the Am-
phvclionic League, the Germanic con
federation, the seven-united provinces,
and the old Swiss confederacy. He is
still so fatally bent on mischief as to be
aiming bis envenomed shafts against
our own glorious Union, to which we
are all bound b%’ so many ties of inter
est and recollection. 1 need hardly
say to you that the hideous being I

Anecdote of a Parrot.
Many long years ago, while I was
sealed up in the Hebrides, I became
intimate with a family who had a beau
tiful parrot, which a youug mariner had
brought from South America, as a pre
sent to his sweetheart. This happened
long before my arrival in Mull; and
Poll for many years bad been a much
prized and pelted favorite in the house
hold. He was a captive to be sure,
but allowed at times lo be outside his
cage on parole.; and, alyvays observing
gbod fMth and gratitude for such indul
gences, they were repeated as often as
'appeard consistent with safe custody.
The fe\v words of Gaelic which he had
picked up in his voyage to tbe north
were just sufficient on his arrival, to
bespeak the good will of the family, and
recommend himself to their hospitali
ty ; but his vocabularj’ was soon in
creased—he became a great mimic—he
could imitate the cries of every domes-
tic animal—the voices of the servants—
he could laugh, whistle and scold like
any olh€* biped around him. He «

Socialism in the Pulpit,
Boston, the modern Athens as it is
called, is decidedly a curious place. It
is curious in arts and philosophy, in
marriage, murders, law, divinity, and
a score of other things, which there is
no need of mentioning. If it was the
cradle of liberty in the early days of
the revolution, it is now the cradle of
fanaticism of every kind and color, hue
and shade. During the last war with
great Britain, its policy and justice were
denounced, not only by politicians, but
preached from the puipit. Its minis
ters have made themselves notorious
throughout the world for their intoler
ance and fanaticism; its municipal leg
islators have been the laughing stock of
the country.^tjiLdts^nj-rioge scrapds
and murders have'exeiietl'limusenaent
and horror throughout ihe Republic.
The other day, a somewhat celebrat
ed clergyman of that oily delivered n
sermon, of which the death of the ven
erable General Taylor was the princi
pal text. It puzzles us to know how
such a man is tolerated even in Boston.
While the whole country, from North
to South, and East to West, was
mourning over the calamity which oc
curred iiiihedecease of General Taylor,
and all men were paying tribute to the
many excellencies of his character, a
Boston divine, rejoicing in the name of
the Rev. Theodore Parker, deliberate
ly ascended his pulpit, and made a most
disgraceful attack on the memory of the
late President. He denounced him
while living, as a man of blood and
strife, that he had no conscience or had
abused it; that he was no Christian,
and not a good man, that he had traffick
ed in the blood of his brethren, that he
was a dishonest man, and that in his /
death the nation got rid of a notoriously
bad character.
Such were the sentiments delivered
by this divine publicly from his pulpit,
in the remarkable city of Boston. The
reverend gentlemen, evidently, is desi
rous of making himself notorious, nnd he
certainly is in a fair way of succeeding.
It shows, however, that socialism has
penetrated that city, and mfectcd a part
of the clergy. We ran hardly believe
that this is the nineteenth century, when
we hear such sentiments being deliver
ed irom the pulpit. If it was New York,
instead ol Boston, where such a sermon
was preached, we would not believe
that we live in this enlightened’age.—
Contrast the sermon preached in New
York, on the same melancholy occasion,
with that of the Rev. Theodore Parker,
of Boston. As lar as true charity and
Christianity arc concerned, there is as
much difference between them as there
is between day and night.—N. Y. Herald.

Wall,
Neighbor Wilkins’ Ilf ill.
A man having purchased a worn out
farm, and invested all his money in his
real estate, tried hard by his labor to
make it produce a crop. After a labo
rious summer’s work, he signally failed.
His crops of corn, oats, and buck
wheat, were scarcely worth harvesting.
Winter came on and with it discourage
ment and despondency. He asked his
neighbor, in the language of scripture,
“ What shall I do!” His neighbor in
reply, in tiue Yankee style, answered
ibis question by asking another.
“ Neighbor Wilkins, have you ever
kept a hired man on your farm?”—
“ Always.” “ How can you gain the
greatest amount 'of labor in a season
from his efforts?” “ In the first place
give him a plentiful supply of food, for
a full stomach for a laborer is a jewel;
next, begin the day early, and keep
steady at it.” “ You have answered
truly; manage your farm as you do
your liired man. Feed it with nourish
ment for vegetation ; ford it full and
keep it fed. Clear out the barn yard ;
dig up the muck from the swamps;
sow on all the ashes you can gel; cart
sand from the drainage of the streets.
When you begin upon a field, feed it;
feed it full and, keep it fed. Then go
to the next lot, and feed it in the same
style. Such fields recollect tho kind
ness of the owner, and they pay him for
it more than fifty fold. Then plough
and dig and the reward is sure.”—
Neighbor Wilkins opened his eyes in
1 S4o < astonishment at his own ignorance, and
to the ‘ s*"' 1 * ” I see! I see ! A feeble starved
man cannot work much. A poor
starved field cannot bear much.”—
