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 ^neJIphL The publishers of-a wellhaown pe riodical in Bostou, have place^in front of their office., in the Tremont slreet, a very handsome-sign-board, upom which is emblazoned the words, . “LITTELL*S LIVINp AGE.” A greenhorn, fresh caught—came.to the city to look at the “ glorious .FottgiA”— chanced lo be passing towArde th^cCom mon, when his attention w^^rrested 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 der all teu smash! I’ve hearn about paouder magazines, an’ al! that—wall, I reckon I’ll see the critter, enny bow!” and thus determined, he cautiously ap proached tbe 'done.

He would .j^tray the pour in mortal 4gpmbal against life riel), and the African 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 city only to destroy it. He is the hor rible monster that will crush, if not watched, the Laocoons and their chil dren, who stand firmly at the altar ol the constitution. Athens fell from his 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.

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 « in short, a match for Kelly’s renowi parrot; for although he could not, .... would not, *ing “God save the King,” j «t>jcct, he wtll create a party for bm.- he was proficient in “Charlie is my self.

He had hut lit-. Ie left of that triumphant chuckle! 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.

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.

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 !
