Railroad Adventure
The car was full of passengers,
I can't recall the number,
IFor I had but just awakened from
An unrefreshing slumber,
"When a lady, who sat facing me,
Directly met my eye,
But turned away immediately,
And smiled I know not why.
When youthful folks who strangers arc
Arc seated face to face,
In the silence of a railroad car,
A grave and formal place,
Their wandering eyes will sometimes meet
By some strange fascination,
And they cannot keep their faces straight,
Though dying with vexation.
Simpletons there doubtless are,
"Whose mouths are always stretching,
But the guileless mirth of maidens' eyes
And dimpled cheeks is catching:
First she laughed and then I laughed
I couldn't say what at ;
Then she looked grave, and I looked grave,
And then she laughed at tluit.
She endeavored to repress her mirth,
But couldn't hold it half in,
Por with face concealed behind a book,
She almost died a-laugbiug.
She pouted when she found her lips
Determined on a smile,
But 't was very plain the preUy rogue
"Was laughing all the while.
Thus happily the moments flew
To me, at least, of course,
Though, when site saw me smilling too,
It made the matter worse.
And when, at last, I left the car,
I caught her laughing eye,
And had one more good grin before
I tore myself away.
'Mine inn' I sought in saddened mood,
And with feelings of regret:
Those brilliant eyes, I felt assured,
I never could forget.
And when arrived, valise in hand,
I paused I can't tell why
Before a mirror on a stand,
And gazed with curious eye.
My cravat was turned half round or more,
And sbocked was I to find
That my hat was badly jammed before,
And the rim turned up behind!
Then while in haste my room I sought,
I swore along the stairs
That I would not again be caught
A-napping in the cars.
jj-Every young man should remem
ber that the world will always honor in
dustry. The vulgar and useless idler
may look with scorn: his contempt is hon
or. A man famous for hunting up enigmas
philosophized thus: "What strange crea
tures girls are. Offer one of them good
wages to work for you, and ten chances
to one if the old women can spare any of
her girls; but just propose matrimony,
and sec if they don't jump at the chance
of working a life-time for their victuals
and cloths. A queer way of estimating
things.
The Boston Mail man, who has had a
vast amount of experience in the business,
says :
The most insipid thing in the world, is
to kiss a pretty girl in the presence of
her mother. To be realized as it should be, 1
this sort of confectionary should be taken j
in t be dark, hven a candle is unneces-1

To Keep Tires Tight Ox Wheels.
A correspondent of the Southern Planter
gives tho following method for keeping
tires tight on wheels :
Before putting on the tires fill the felr
loes with linseed oil, which is done by
heating the oil in a trough to a boilin"
heat, aud keeping the wheel, with a stick
through the hub, in the oil for an hour.
JMic wheel is turned round nntil
felloe is kept in the oil an hour,

Fearful Energy.
The following picture of the fearful en
ergies of our people in pushing every
worldly enterprise to a dangerous ex
treme, is drawn with a master-hand. It
is extracted from a long article in the
Presbyterian Quarterly Review, under the
head of 'Young America Head pause
and reflect!
'There is in this country a consuming
passion for gain. The nation is mad.
It rushes with incredible avidity after
speculations, or works sixteen hours a
day that it may have the means of a
senseless profusion and a glittering frivol
ity. Never was there a less avaricious
people. Hero foreigners fall into their
great and enduring error. The nation
in this, as in every thing, is extravagant
as no people ever were from the begin
ning hitherto. This can be shown in
many ways for example, our imports last
year wero upwards of two hundred mil
lions of money, and this for a young peo
ple of only twenty three millions, who
have not yet cut down a hundredth part of
the primeval forest trees, or broken up
more than a fragment of the prairios that
have been accumulating rich vegetable
mould since the flood. Ave tried to pay
for these imports, and so sent abroad
every production of the soil that Uurope
would take, and then added nearly forty
millions of specie, and still the balance of
trade was tens of millions against us.
These immense imports, in great par,
arc a consequence of our extrava
gant living. In the old world and
in ancient times a few nobles and mer
chants were princes, and the masses were
humble and frugal perforce; but here is a
whole people struggling to be not only po
litical soverigns, but to live in luxury
liko the peerage of England. Our re
marks have neither an aristocratic nor a
democratic bearing. We do not think
the glory of a man is to live in a fine
house with glided furniture, of which the
eye tires, and with an array of servants
who arc endlessly troublesome. If any
body choses to claim an equality with the
peerage, we have no quarrel with him.
What we arc saying, is that no country,
can physically support hundreds of thous
ands of palaces, and that the extravagance
which desires it is madness and folly.
Whether there ought to be any palaces
costing money by the hundred thousand,
we are not deciding. It is difficult for
our theology to reach this evil, for a
mode of thinking beneath, like the those
convulsions of which geology tells us, up
heaves theology, and the seething mass
forever takes new forms of struggle, en- ;
tcrprise, competition, luxury, corruption.
It is a miserable ambition to toil oneself
to death, not to have, as Wordsworth ex
presses it, 'plain living and high thinking,'
not to have a happy, cultivated, and re
fined family around one, not to have the j
appliances of a pleasant sociability with
friends and acquaintances, not to have j
the mean3 of intellectual improvement, or j
of enlarged usefulness, or of a wide inter-
course with the noble and the gifted; but j
merely to appear highly respectable, to j
make the show of being rich, to fill rooms
scarcely ever used, with costly furniture,
to crowd a house once or twice a year
with a mass of people whose claim to the
'best society' rests merely on their keep
ing up the same appearances. Yet this
is the object for which, in great part, ur
ban America labors and toils, to which it
sacrifices a thousand things of far more
importance. Fashion tyranizes over men
as well as women, and conventionalities
that no one really likes, freezes up the
life-blood of the nation. The result is
almost incredible, when one fairly analy
zes the life of our people. They alter
nate between solitude and crowds. - They
fill the streets and jmblic vehicles; they
crowd churches, lecture-rooms, concerts,
theaters; they jostle each other on change,
in business places, and along fashionable
walks; they whirl around in the intoxica
tion of the dance, or exchange inane coin-
pliments with hundreds of people at a
or a party. The remainder of their
is fc in solitudc afc . and
, , ..... ,. ' .
those who dlslike tblS crushlDS publicity
can scarce find a medium between that
and solitary reading or the society alone
of their own family. Is there not a morc
excellent way? Is there no such thing
as moderation 1 Is tho common sense
which was claim as our characteristic to
have no influence in moulding the man
ners of our people? Must we forever
senselessly imitate foolish foreign man
ners? Mustmenlive inthemostcostlylux-
in-iT until tiivin zinf nf fmir "nil r TiiiNinARS
j and then hide their heads in some ob-
scurc placcj as if) though still honest
men, they had done some shameful deed?
In a word,
is it possible to have moderation and
common sense pervading in our land?
'Internal improvements are character
istic of our time, and within reasonable
i limits nobly characteristic. But no one
can be even casually acquainted with the
operations of the country without seeing
! extravagance here also. Posterity, wc
may be assured, will look with amaze
ment at these times. - The velocity of a
railway train may be fearful, and 'ctby
custom wo forget the immense speed. At
the city of Dayton, in Ohio, wc found
recently constructed and constructing
ncarlv a dozen railroads. At Indian
napolis, in Indiana, the case is still more
extreme; and at Chicago, in Illiuois, fair
ly wearied out, wc gave up trying to un
derstand the projects. Some of these

An American, wc
heard, has just taken a contract to cut
pine spars in Oregon for the Dutch navy.
The only question touching a railroad to
the Pacific is which of half a dozen routes

thousand dollars a year. The earth is
J
moving at a xeariui velocity arounu tnc
sun, anu yet we seem to be standing still.
A rate that to an Anglo-Saxon
seems
slow to a man of any other race mingles
earth and sky together, and turns his
brain into idiotcy.
'The increase of lunacy in this country
is another frightful indication of the mad
extravagance of the people. No wonder 1
indeed that in a single new State they '
have built or are building three lunatic
asylums. The whole land will be a lu
nutic asylum if from some quarter, from
experience or observation, from states
manship or scholarship, from the pulpit
or the Bible, wo cannot learn some de-,
greo of moderation. The lawcr speaks
until he is exhausted, and recruits per
haps with firery stimulus of the worst
kind, though called by some foreign nam;e
the merchant comes home too much worn J
out at night to converse with his family
and lays himself on a sofa until he is
roused to go into a deeper sleep in his '
chamber; the young and delicate girl is '
driven through a system of education in-!
tensely rapid and exciting, without any j
suitable physical exercise, and then fades
every remaining vestige of rose in her
check, by late hours and unceasing dis-
sipation, to break off suddenly and seuse-
lessly, shortly after she i3 married, from
all society and labor until she is scarcely
able to walk, in work that, if things were
regulated in a more reasonable way,
might and would be done mainly by ser
vants; tho young man alternates from
exhausiing business to exhausting revel
ry; and the minister of the gospel works
ceaselessly and with intense exoitement
until he destroys his bronchial tubes and
hopelessly shatters his entire nervous sys
tem; and whoever will not work at this
fearful rate is thrown aside us 'behind the
times.' One asks, in terror, whether this
is the infancy of a country; and if it is,
what kind of a nation will tumultuate 0-
ver this land when two hundred millions j
of people shall be living to and fro from '
the Atlantic to the Pacific? If these I
things are done in the rrrecn tree, what
shall be done in the dry?
Our next proof that the nation is mad
will hardly be questioned. It is drawn
from the fearful recklessness in regard to
human life. On a recent Western tour
we passed over the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad a day or two after two passenger
oars had been precipitated over a bank,
and rolled over and over four times be
fore they reached the bottom, a distance
measured along the slope of eighty feet;
some eight or ton of the passengers being
killed.. We saw the wrecks of the cars
at the foot of the embankment as wc pas
sed by the spot. One morning on the
same tour, we took tho train of the Mich
igan Central railroad from Chicago and
after passing along it eight miles were
directed to leave the car in which we
were and pass to another. In reaching
the latter we passed by the wreck of two
cars aud an engine. Theevcningbefore the
train of the Southern railroad had run
into an emigrant train of the Central.
The dead and maimed bodies had been
taken to Chicago, but there had not been
time to clear away the wreck. Sixteen
dead bodies were taken from the ruins.
As we were passing into New York on
the New York and Eric road, on the
same tour, a passenger handed us the ac
count of the Norwalk destruction, near

was burnt on Lake Ontario and two were
destroyed in California with a fearful
loss of life; and two buildings fell in at
New York and Buffalo, because no doubt

This is positively frightful. The

life. It is that which is guarded by thc;wiui expensive ioow, uequumiy "f-; distress, and, addressing the horse, ha
