truthful yet thrilling effect have been unequalled .
instance this one from a late article:
There were in conveyance across the Elie rail
road scone valuable horses. •
It was a night cif intense cold, :and however,
luxurious to cattle, whose:e'sperience of floor and
root is /united, to the attendants,-the-revices and
opening of the cars let in ernirely,mnre of the
wild northwester than was agreeable. The owner.
01 the horses in the car near the tender bad in
apartment rattler better gnaided and as tie under
stood all the ways of his animals; he was not in
the same fear which others less experience would
have 01 being with 'heat Nor is it wi.hout real
danger to ride in - a cat' , with a horse. The sudden
star: might break the halters, and in the fright a
scene ofplunging and trampling take place, in the
midst of which the presence of man, might for his
own sake, be well spared.
The train was approaching the long seven mile
downgrade which occurs just before emeriti.; De•
castle from the westward. Ai the last station the
superintendent had ideemed it best to have two
very heavily borthened cars affixed to the rear of
train. They greatly augmen ed the load, and the
rn;ineer demurred but the discipline was good,
and the order was obeyed, It gave ti e engine
enough . to do on a level gra le, and all it wanted
on the ascent. What precisely it was to do when
the heavy grade was to rnn down,"was not quite
clear. The engineer, had nerve, however, 'add
while he" doubted the safety, he did not falter. The
cars coNipled, the alien blow was given to:he start
ing-bar, and the train was off. The engine gavO
forth its exhaust (as the word is quaintly phrased
of energies that kriow no exhaustiorg) with a rig
orous whistle and over the level .the wheels rattled
sharp and bard in the bitter treat.
The train was, due at D •positir at such a time,
as would cause it to meet soother, Which by that
time was to be on the watch—awaiting, the passage
of the western cattle train. In a few mir.utes my
informant found that the down grade had been;
reached. He ha,.: With him sevens; of his Intends
who were in the same business, who had Left their
uncomfortaMei, pars for his pleasanter one. The
tremendous Pressure of the load soon bore upon the
engine. The stout cattle, the heavy and weighty
cars, andthe great additional burthen which had
been ad,riel at the fait station, crowded on to the
machine, from which the engineer, soon realizing
the ieonditiou of the train,had_sviihdrawn the steam
—so thattit moved by its own momentum alone.—
Another and more appalling truth soon manifested
Itself—that-with the increase of the care additional
brakemen had not peen sent, and that the break
tome was becoming powerless. Powerless it soon
became a velvet touch rather.than the grasp on the
wheels. The ice on the rails rendered even the
tome that was applied useless, and each instant in.
creasing, that train first rolled—then rushed—then
lore along—my informant says he knew of no gra
datian of speed. From tha moment that the down
'grade was reached it seemed to his companions—
shut up as they Were-in that closeapartrnent—with
animals whose strength would. at The first terror
arouse to destruction.—to him the sensation was u
if t h e train felt. It had that pecifiar motion; not
contineuus or regular, as- in the rapid roll of the
wheels,-but aalfall else but the. 4 train was away,
and it was going at the speed of a bugs Mass lent

Extract
FROM ?Lamm's L*CTURE ON TIE FEELONG OF CATTLE
Most timers are aware of the fact that young
calves, sheep and pigs, fatten more quiCkly• in the
dark that] in the light. The explanation of the
fact is simply this, that they pass more of their
time in sleep. Sleep is that portion of lite of an
animal when the principal growth of its body takes
place, fn sleep all the volUntary motions cease ;
vitality, therelore, now increases the mass of the
bodq, as its force is not expended in producing
) motion- ft is for this reason that we like those
lethargic pigs which stagger to the trough.in a lazy
,way and sleep as they have finished eating.—
Very little matter being expended in motion, they
rapidly iti_ . :rea-e in size. The phelgmatic Chinese
or Neapolitan pig fattens quickly, whilst the unim
proved, long legged Irish pig, which gallops about
at such an extraordinary rate expends all its food
in the production of force, and does not grow ra

Educational.:
In all ages, of the world, bay associated effort
been song,ht for, when Important ,Objects were to
-be accomplished; and the more the 'Ounce in
civilintion, the more do !help aasottations, of In
dividuals, having s common aim, .increase; and
now no person Thinks of unit enaking an enterprize
: of any considerable moment alone / If a reform is
to be brought about,' the first thing is - to organize a
body of men, holding similar sentiments
,in regard
and - who are willing to be governed by simi
lar rules, and put forth exertions to advance the
interest of the organization. This feeling is pre•
vailing.more and more, as those, in the several
trades and professions, feel more and more the
importance of improvement and mutual protection.
The clergymen of the various denominations have
stated periods for assembling for consultation upon
the interest of their church and also for mutual- im
provement.. Physicians have their medical asso
ciations. Lawyers their legal organizations, and
the mechanics their clubs for the same purpose.—
Now ; no one doubts the advantages of these cage
, nizations to those who enter into them, if they do
from right motives and a laudable desire to benefit
and improve that particular class to which they
may belong.
Teachers, in some parts of this State, and in ter.
eral of the aifininingiStates have taken advantage
of this state of feeling that ig prevailing in the com
munity, and formed Teacher's Associations, which
have for their object the improvemint of the mem
bers in the business of imparting instruction to the
young, and as the natutal consequence of their im•
provement, the elevation of the schools where
they teach. This is a move of some importance in
the educational policy orour State. Formerly, the
teacher of a village or country school, was an inaso ;
laced being, and was looked upon by other teach
ers, with an eye of jealousy. II any one became
wise by experience, his wisdom was hoarded in his
own bosom. The young teacher was none the
wiser for the experience of ages that those who
had gone before him had enjoyed.
It must be evident to any reflecting individual,
that under such a state of things, our schools could
not improve to any great extent. Individual teach
-1 ers indeed improved, and treasured up wisdom by
experience, but when these old teachers lett the
profession they took with them these improvements
and this wisdom, and others roust take their places
and learn to teach as their predecessors bad done,
by experimenting. Not upon some machint, not
in endeavoring to invent or improve some piece of
mechanism, which would be of but little value
when completed ; experimenting, not in such an
undertaking as would injure no one but themselves
if unsuccessful; no, but with immortal minds, with
the youth of the country, who were in e few years
I to control the destinies of the State and N4tion ;
with intelligent being., with whom i mistake in
the tender age of youth might be (drag for both
worlds. Such was the situation of the teachers of

QDICK OtOrSTIOI.I-411FALTIIV FOOD :—Of all the
'alleles of food, boiled rice is digested m the short
est time—an hour; As it contains eight tenths nu
tritons matter, it is a valuable substance for diet.—
Tripe and pig's beet are digested almost u rapidly.
Apples, if sweet and rip, are next in drder. Veni
son is digested almoit as soon apples. Roasted
potatoes are digested in half the lime required by
the same vegetables boiled, which occupy more
than three hours and a halt—more than beef
or motion., Bread occupies three hours and a
quarter. Stewed oysters and boiled eggs are di.
gested in three hours and a half,—an hqur more
than is required by the same articles raw. Turkey
and goose are converted in two hours and a - half,
an hour sooner than chickens. Roasted veal, pork,
and salted beef, occupy live hours and a halt—the
longest of any article of food.—Sritsstyle American.
ONE.—One hour lost in ale mornirk - by lying m
bed w• , ill put back and may frustrate all the busi
ness of the day.
One We in the fence will cost ten times asmoch
as it will to fix the fence at once,
Oue unruly animal will leach all the real la ila
company 1).0 wicks.
One drink will keep a family poor and in trouble,
" One sinner destroyetb much , good." ,
To me Ltoies.—One of the moat important of
all household -duties is to keep the door knobs, the
spoons and plea and all that Solt Cf thing, ie a
high polished order. If, instead of vatex or chalk
pieparationNlailies will use .ampitene, oil and rot
ten stone, a brighter, more durable and quicker
polish can be obtained than in any other way.—
Camphene is tho oriole used tor producing the es
quisite polish of the dauguerreotype plates, and
nothing has eyes-been found equal to ii.
