AN ADVENTURE IN A TUNNEL
A PERILOUS POSITION.
: /:h' A frightful accident which occurred n few
weeks kincb to some of the workmen employed
in Moor Tunnel, on the Lancas
• VS? * ter and Yorkshire Railroad. England, reminds
iC «a pfairadvcnturo, as related to the editor of
lilitaXJook’s Journal, not long ago, by ti per
son ia the employ* 6f.the telegraph company.—
He bad been engaged in the inspection and re.*
pairof the telegraph wires and their fixings,
which are subject to many accidents, and ro
■ quire constant looking after to insure their in
tegrity and efficiency. Even when carried
- through tunnels, in gutta percha costings cm*
bobbed In leaden tubes, they ore liable to acci
dents from passing wagons, or, in winter, from
lumps of ico falling down thesides of the shafts
and damaging the tubes. It appears that one
day the door of a coal wagon had got loose in
the long tunnel of the railway, and dash
ing back against the sides ol it, had torn the
tubes, and even cut across the wires in many
" places. The telegraph, was, therefore, broken;
it could not be worked, and several workmen
• were sent into the tunnel, to execute the ncocs-
' sary repairs. The person who related the fol
' . lowing adventure acted in the capacity of in
, c , ancotor, and it was necessary for him to visii
tno .workmen, ascertain the nature of the dam l
ngo liad been done, and give directions or
*- tho spot ns to the repairs, the necessity for com
ptcUn'g brhich was of the greatest urgency.
.. *1 know Very well,’ said he, 'that the tunnel
;;$sL was of- great lengch—rather more than two
‘ ‘ tn^ca long—aud that tho workmen, who set
in tho morning from tho station nearest.
, x entered it by its south end; so I detor
’ to follow and overtake them, which I
' i/ihould doubtless be able to do somewhere in
1 tunnel, where they would bo at'work. I
* :ifM accompanied, by a little dog which trotted
bphind at my feet. After , walking about a
mile, I reached the entrance over which frowned
Ihoefllgy of a grim lion’s head, cut in stone.
*Thero were, as usual, two lines of rails—the
tip lino and the down lino; and I determined to
Walk along the former, that I might see before
. the approaching lights 6n any advancing train,
Which t. should take care to avoid by stepping
on (6 the opposing line of rails, at thesamotime
that I should thus avoid being run over by any
train coming up behind from the opposite di
direction, and which 1 might not see in lime to
avoid, I had, however taken the precaution to
ascertain that no train was expected to pass
along tho upline, over which I was then pro
ceeding, for about two hours; bull was aware
it could notbo depended on, and therefore I rc
,X solved to keep a good look-out ahead. Along
the down lined knew that a passenger tram
' ;,-$7 was shortly to pass—indeed it was now due—
,: l butby keeping tho opposite line of rails, I felt
' , I was safe so far ns that fnpt was concerned.
•'4 ‘I bad never boon in n tunnel of finch length
.."as this before, and I confess' I felt somewhat
1 when llio light which had accompn
mo Bo 1C France, began to grow
’.'fttntcr and fainter. After walking for ft short
:4WancQ,,r proceeded on in almost total davk
'■Wlli Behind mo there wna the distant light
» m at tho tunnel’s mouth, before me,
‘penetrable darkness. But by wajk-
I’ w Sht line I knew that I couldn’t mhp
and tho rails between which I walk
rmcu l occasionally, touched with my
ca to keep mo in the road. In a short
uiftblo to discern a seeming spot of
i 8 r *dually swelled into a broader
ut a till a great distance before mo, and
lio light to bo tho opening of nearest
\ ««|r;lt was ft mere glimmer amidst the thick
WJffjdtoOSt palpable darkness wliich envelope)
on. I heard my dog panting
at raft heels, and tho Bound of my tread ro-cchq
edjmij tho vaulted roof. Sava these sounds,
pe3®l silence, reigned. When I stood still to
■ 11*6$, i heard distinctly tho* loud beating of
, my-hcart.
'—A Startling thought Buddcnly occurred to
„ TOV'What if a goods train should suddenly
thro' tho tunnel along tho lino bn which
proceeding, while tho passenger train
■' '.fcbwfluo, camo on in theopnositodirection. I
' hjsd.'not thought of this before: and yet I was
.•wirothat the number of casual trains on a
/IftiU-frcqucntcil railaoud. is very considerable
■ particular seasons. Should I turn back—
/roach. tho mouth of tho tunnel again, and wait
till tho passenger tiftiu had passed, (when I
• could then follow along tho down lino of rails,

lowit for atlcasthalf on hour.*'* •' * * r: !
•*But theshaft down which the light faint
ly streamed; was nearer'to mo than the mouth
of the tunnel, and I resolvedi therefore* to make
for that point, where there,'waSi'l knew, ample
room'outside of both lines of rail to candle mo
to- stand in safety nntil the 1 dotm train had
passed. ;SoI strode 6n. : But a low hollow. ,
murmur, arfif of remote* thunder, and then a
distant scream which seemed to * reverberate
'along tho.lunnql, fell upon my cars—doubtless
the passenger traid which I had been expect
ing entering the tbnnds rotuUh. - But looking
ahead'at the'sameHimc,' I' discerned, thro’ the
gleam of daylight at the bottom of the shaft
towards which I was approaching, what seem
ed a spark of fire, vlt moved; Could it be ono
of thelaborer* of"whom I was in search? It
increased. For an instant Ilost it. -Again!
This lime it looked brighten ; A moaning,
tinkling noise crept along the floor of the vault.
I stood still with fear, for the noise of thO train
behind me was rapidly increasing, and turning
ah instant in that direction, I observed'that it
was in full sight. I could no,, longer disguise
from myself that I stood full in the way of an
other'train; advancing from' the opposite di
rection/- The light before me was the engine
lamp. Itwas now brilliant as-a glowing star,
and the roar' of the wheels of the train was
now fully heard amidst the gloom {-for It came
on with a velocity that seemed, to.mo'lerrifflc.
“A thousand thoughts coursed thro’my brain
on the instant.. I was in the way of the mon
ster. and the next moment might be crushed
into bleeding fragments. 1 ;; Thb.cnglnc was al
most upon me! I saw tHo-gleaming face of
the driver, and the glow of the furnace flashing
its lurid light far along the lower edge Of the
denso volumes of steam, blown from the engine
chimney. ‘ In an instant IVprostrated myself
on my face, and lay there; without the power of
breathing, as I felt the crigine and train thun
dering over me. The low-hung ash-box swept
across my back ; I felt the heat of the fUrnacc
as it flashed over me, and a glowing cinder was
dropped near my hand : but I durfit’not'niovc.
I felt na if the train was crushing over me.—
The earth vibrated and shook, and the rods of
the wagon wheels smote into my cars with a
thunder which madenio fear their drums would
crack. T clutched the earth, and would have
cowered and shrunk ifalo it if I could. There
was not a fibre of my body that did not foci
the horrors of the moment, and the drcadfulncss
• of the situation. But it passed; With a swoop
and a roar the break-man, the last in the train,
flew over mo. When I raised my head and
looked behind, the red light in the tail was al
• ready far in the distance. As for the passen
ger train, U had also passed, but I had not
hoedodit; Iho’.ithad doubtless added to the
tcrrifllc noise which for some time stunned me.
“I rose up and walked on, calling upon my
dog.' But no answer—not eo much as a whine.
1 remembered its sudden howl. It must have
been crushed under the wheels of some part of
the train. It was no use searching for Irby lit*,
tlocomnnion, so I proceeded, anxious to escape
from the perils of my situation. I shortly
reached the.shaft which Iliad before observed.
There was ample room at either sidcof the rails
to enable me to rest there in safety. , But the.
place "was Cold n’nd datnpT ftifd alrcanfeof Wo-'
ter trickled down' the side of it. I resolved,
therefore, to, goon upon the doten line; but
the tunnel being now almost filled With smoke
ond steam of (he two engines which had just
passed. I deemed it prudent to wait fora snort
time until the road had become more clear, in
ease of any o'.her (rain encountering me in any
farther progress. The smoke slowly eddied up.
the shaft, and the steam gradually condensed
until T considered the road sufficiently clear to
enable mo to proceed in comparative safety. I
once more, therefore, plunged into the dark
ness.
*• I walked on for nearly half an hour, grop
ing my way? tny head had become confused,
and my limns troubled under me. I passed
two other shafts, but the light which they ad
mitted was so slight, that they scarcely seem
ed to do more than make the “darkness visi
ble.” I now supposed that I must have walk
ed nearly the whole length of the tunnel: and
yet it appeared afterwards that I was only half
way thro* it. It seemed like a long day since
I had entered. Hut by and by a faint glimmer
df lights danced before my eyes ; and as I ad
vanced, I saw it was the torches of the work
men. and I soon heard their voices. Never
were sight and sound more welcome. In a few
minutes more I had joined the party. But I
fcltqulte unmanned forthe moment; and I be
lieve, sitting down on one of the workmen's
tool-boxes. I put my hands over my eyes—
really could not htlp it—and buiot into tears.
AfKODOTB OF TtiRVeKUOF CatVF.nLASD. —
The following anecdote is related of the Duke
of Cumberland, brother to George the Third,
who commanded the English at Fontenoy and
Cnlloclin. On one occasion the Duke noticed
the distinguished and honorable conduct of a
SLiartermastcr-ficrgcant, who had risen from
ic ranks, and he made him, as a reward, a
present of a commission in his regiment, lie
was received at his mess, not With congratula
tions on his promotion, but with coolness and
unkindness. lie immediately spoke to the
Duke, and told him he was not satisfied with
his charge, from the way his 1 brother officers
looked upon him, and he would prefer being
reduced to his former position. The Duke re
quested him to attend the--next morning’s pa
rade, and there. his grace walked arm-in-arm
with Che late quartermaster-sergeant in the
most friendly way befbre the whole regiment,
much to the chagrin, but perfectly 'to the cure,
of the “members of the mess.”' Therefore, the
once despised was received with courtesy and
respect’; Others in command might, by,their
example, rule the conduct of those under.them
by a like rebuke.

A FOUTBNATE KISS.
Tho following little story ty Mfos Bremer, is
famished to SarfotV* Magazine. For Its truth
and reality, she says she will bo responsible;.
In tho University ot Upsala,ln Sweden, lived
a.young student, a lonely, youth, with a groat
love for studies,.but nithout tho means Of pur
suing them. Ho was poor, and. without connec
tions. • Still-ho studied, living’ in great poverty,
but keeping a cheerful heart, and trying not to
look at the future wliibU looked so grimly at
him. His good hnmoraud good tpiaHtfcß made
him belbVcd by his young comrades. ‘ Once ho.
was standing with some of them In the great
square of Upsala. prating away an hour of lei
sure, when the - attention of the'young men be
came arrested by a very young and elegant lady,
who, at the side of an cldorly one, walked slowly
over tho place. It wasthedauphtcrof the gov
ernor of Upland, living in tho city, and tho lady
was her governess. She was generally known
for her beauty,and her goodncss.and gentleness
of character, and was looked-upon with great
admiration by the students. As the young men
now stood gazing at her as she passed on like a
graceful vlslop, one of them exclaimed: • |
/‘Well,lt would he worth something to have
• a kiss from such a mouth.”
The poor student, the hero of our story, who
was looking intently on that pure and.angelic
face, exclaimed, as If by inspiration, “Well, I
think 1 could have It;” •
“What,” said his friends In a-chorns,- “aro
you crazy t do you know hor ?”
/. “ Not at all,” he answered;“ but I think she
I ftskcd^ieA”
’•* What, In this place, before alt our eyes V fl
“In this place, before your eyes.”
“Freely?” ,
“ Freely.: ,
‘ “Well, lf she will give you ttkißS-lu that man
ner, I will give you a thousand 'dollars,” ex
claimed one of tho party.
“Audi.” “And 1,” cried three or four
others j for It so happened that, several rich*
young mon were In tye group, and bets ran high
on so Improbable an event | and'tho cliallcngo
was inado and accepted in less time than we
have taken to relate it.
Our hero—my authority fella not whether he
was handsome or plain; I have my peculiar rea
sons for believing that ho was rather plum, but
singularly good-looking at tho same time—our
hero walked off to meet tbo young ladyyApd.
said: “M'n/rolein,my fortune Is in your hurupV
She looked at him Irf astonishment, hut arrested
her steps. Ho proceeded to state his name and
condition, his aspirations, and related simply
and truly what had passed between him and his
companions. Tho young lady listened atten
tively, and when ho ceased to speak, sho said,
blushing, hut with great sweetness? “If by so
little a thing so much good can be effected, it
would bo foolish in mo torefnso your request?”
and sbo kissed tho young mnn publicly In tho
open square.
Next day tho studtßt was sent for by tho gov
ernor. He wanted to see tho man who had dared
to ask a kiss from his daughter In that way, and
whom ehohad cpnaontcdto kiss so. Ho received
him with a severe and scrutinizing brow,butaf
ter an hours’ conversation, was so pleased with
him, that he offered to let him dine dt Ida table
during Ids studies nt Dpsala.
Our young friend how*'pursued Ids studios In
a manner which soon made Idm regarded as tho
most promising student at the University. Three
years woro not passed after tho day ot (lie first
kiss, when tho young man was idlowcd to giro
a second one to the daughter of tho Governor,
as ills intended, bride.
Ho became, later, one of tbo greatest scholars
In Sweden, ns much respected for Ids learning
as for his character. His works will onduro
forever among tho works of science.; and IVom
lids happy union sprang a family well known In
Sweden tho present day, and whoso wealth of
fortune and high position In society ore regard
ed as small things compared With its wealth ot
goodnuss and love.

sagely remarks that life is made up of change.
’ A' moment ago a patch of sunshine rested like
o smile upbn our paper, And everything around
was bright 5 now the pflko is. overcast, .by u
shadow, and the street without looks dull ami
dark. So in'the affairs of Life, To-day, Hope
slhgsat out 1 path, and tho Bow of Promise spans
it as an arch of gold. To-morrow, Disappoint
ment sits within tho heart, and lowering skies
fall like the tresses of angels around us. There
is nothing steadfast in this life—no anchor ihdt
is immovably fixed in tho sands of Time. The
waves of Ohanco and Circumstance are stronger
than all tho cables of Love or Interest’, or Hope
—and our barques drift forever about upon
them, like lost souls wandering unceasingly
upon tho banka of the Styx. Life is full of
vicissitudes and change, even as tho sea is full
of pearls. Happy is that man who can adopt
himself to circumstances, for with him there is
neither sunshine nor shadow, but n lemnered
brightness that can bo compared only with tho
rays of twilight when tho sound ol bells is on

Hr.B-Sanborn,of Andover, writes to the
Boston Medical and. Surgical Journal quite an,
interesting letter in favor of wearing the heard.!
Uo tubes the ground that the custom of shav-1
ing the beard among nations of men is always |
attended or followed by a marked deterioration
in the physical organization, not only of the.
existing race of people, but of the race to come,
and quotes examples from history to support
his conclusions. He soys that the aboriginal
inhabitants of our soil and climate were once
brave powerful and numerous; but.lhcy waged
“ war against nature by uprooting the beatd from
their faces and consequently grew jhoto: and
more effeminate with every generation, until
thev.hccamc.an ensy prey to their enemies and
arc’themselves uprooted from the face of the
earth.. He cites the Chinese, too, os a people,
who have been shorn of their locks and of their
strength together, till, as a nation, they have
I only a mere nominal existence; ond-hc says of I
the Abrabomic race, whose creed it is to pre
serve unmarred‘the corner of their, bcania,’ 1
that ho never saw a case of pauperism, prema
ture physical debility, or premature -disease,
among them. Ho says;
“ The habiA'»f shaving is not of ‘origin di
vine,-as thouFAßds seem to thiak, but quite the
reverse.- The.indent patriarchs; the holy
prophets, 1 Christ and his disciples, and the ear
lier and.probably'purer Christians, deemed it
ft violation of tho laws of their nature.' Alex
ander enforced it’upon Ilfs army that they
might thereby gain ft bloodier conquest. The
nobility of Spam adopted it through courtesy
to their beardless prince. The mass were of
course subjected to the humiliating process,
but expressed their repugnance to the outrage
in the well known proverb—‘Since we have lost
our beards, we have lost our souls’—that is.
ourselves, our identity. We are rather soul
less slaves, than the men our Maker made and
designed us to be.’
Dr. Sanborn concludes with calling upon
every freeborn son of America to shake ofl all
conventionalities which oppress humanity, and
especially such as insidiously tend to vitiate
and depress the true manliness of man, and he
implores all mothers, sisters and wives to sec
ond these cflorls and exercise their good taste
in creating ami sustaining such purely Ameri
can habits and fashions, as will to the end of
time render them aud their descendants more
excellent in all the rolatiops of lifo.

within the wide ring o! the horizon', there, was

Early duys of Silns Wright.
A friend* who was an old acquaintance of the
late lion. Silas Wright, related to us an anec
dote of that distinguished mftn, which he re
ceived from his own lips, and as wo have never
seen it in print, although it may have been, we
give it to our readers:
Mr. Wright left, horacat an early ago to seek
fortune, hitting, by way of earthly possessions, i
& line horse, saddle and bridle a pair of saddle
bags. a small stock of clothing, and five bun- 1
tired dollars in money, which was in bills, and
was deposited in lila saddle-bags. Ue took a
1 westward course, and in .travelling one day, ho
overtook a man with a wagon and furniture,
and an old span of horses, apparently emigrat
ing. ' There was nothing particularly attract
ive at first view in the person or equipage, but
upon a closer inspection, Mr. Wright discover
>cd.thp daughter of a .most ItcauU*
'fulyoang lady,'evidently rclhftd and intelligent
They journeyed onwofd toward Geneva, chat*
ting cosily together, when suddenly jthc old
gentleman recollected that he wished to get his
money changed at the Geneva Bank, and to en
able him to reach that place before the close of
Bank hours, he proposed that young Wright
[should take bis scat beside the beautiful daugh
ter and allow him to mount Wright’s horse and
hasten forward. Ardent Qud half smitten by
the charms of thwyoung lady, Silos gladly ac
cepted the proposition, and leaping from his
horse, allowed the old man to mount and make
olfwith all his earthly possessions, money in
cluded, without a thought.
Rapidly the hours of Thalabawcnt by, while
these two young and gifted beings pursued their
course, quite leisurely, it may be surmised, to
wards their journey’s destination.
On.arriving at Geneva, Mr. Wright drove to
the principal tavern left the lady, hut then for
the first tune, a shade of anxiety eroded his
mind for the safety of his fine horse and his
money. Ue went toall the other public houses
but could hear of no such man o-s he describ
ed ; ho beat up to the quarters of the cashier of
the Bank, and learned to Insadditionol concern,
that such a man had called at tnc bank and en
deavored to get some money changed, which lie
had declined doing, ns the notes ha presented
were counterfeit 1 Our future statesman then
came to the conclusion that lie had made a crook
cdstart in life. About fifty dollars worth of
oldiurmturc, a dilapidated wagon and a span
of worn out horses, for anew wardrobe, fine
horse ahd ftvo hundred dollars! Ayo, but then
there was the pretty daughter—but her ho
could not keep afl personal property—without
money he hardly .wanted a wife. 110 was at
his wits’ end and had just concluded to make
the best of a bad bargain, when the oUT man
made his appearance with horse and money all
safe. It turned out that the money which the
Cashier had thought to bo-counterfeit was not
so, and the mistake had given the old man (In
trouble to go some distance to find an.acquain
tance who might vouch for his fcspeclabnily
in case of trouble, and this occasioned his mys
terious absence. In the sequel the beautiful
daughter became afterwards the wife of-lbc
