Still, tho finiil success of locomo tives seemed problematical ; uud it was not on the Stockton and Ibirlingteu line, but on the Liverpool and Manchester, 1 lint, the questiou was to be finally determined. The history uf the Liverpool and Man chester Kailvwiy divides itself into two parts ; first, the battle of the projectors of the rail way ngaitist the opposition of the landed pro prietors and farmers between the towns, end against the public aud parliament; and, sec ondly, the battle among the promoters of the railway as to the tractive power to be em ployed. The narrative of the first buttle is one of the most extra ordinary passages of our social history. How tltiltes, and lords, and gentlemcu set lUetnt-elvi-s in array against this horrid iion road, with its trains of wa gons aud put hups its snorting und oily en gines thul wits lo pass through their pro perties ; how the survey had to be executed almost by stealth, and against peril ftoui pitchforks, fanners' dogs, und actions for tresspass; how the schema hud to ruu the gauntlet uf parliamentary committees, who cross-examined witnesses oi heard them cross examined by the first lawyers of tho day ; how poor Slephi'iiron, in particular, who hud been appointed to ninko a fresh survey or thu line in 1825, and who was by this time icden 1 1 lied with locomotives, wiu badgered by the lawyers and called everything short of a knave becatiso he thought be could luy a railway across Clint Moss, and could nnt but admit, on being questioned, that be believed ten or twelve miles an hour practiblu speed, if locomotives were used ; how, in tho end, when at the expense of J.'27,OUU the Act of I'urliament whs obtained early in 1826, and Mr. Stephenson appointed principal engineer to the Company ut a salary of 1(100 a year, thu opposing lundlords resorted to a new mode of opposition, by demanding exorbitant compensation fur the right of wuy ; all this is as interesting a bit of social history as one could wish tu reud, uud is well told by Sto phcnsoti's biographer. lie narrates also equally well that thu buttle which Stephenson had to fight for his locomotive before lie Could convince the Company that it would p re butter than fixed engines, horses, or any other tractive power whatever. The buttle hud begun from the time of Stepheusnn's con nexion with the railway; it went on while thu line was being made ; and the difiicullius en countered in muking it were discouraging the promoters ; and il was not endud when Mr. Hubert Stephenson, returned from America. At the lima of bis return, many eminent en gineers bad reported so unfavorably of the locomotive system, as compared with the sys tem of stationary eugiiios, thut his pen hud tu be called ililu usu to defend bis father's ideas. At length, iuUueuced by the argu ments on that side, und by the experience of Mr. Stephenson' tiustwurthiness, the direc tor! took their memorable resolution to otler a prize of X.'iOO fur luch a locomotive as they thought would answer, if it could be construc ted. "The conditions were these : "1. The engine must effectually consume it own smoke. "2. The engine, if of six tons' weight, must be able to draw alter jt, day by day, twenty tons' weight (including the lender uud water tauk) at ten wilet an hour, with a pressure of steam ou the boiler not exceeding fifty pounds to the square inch. "3. The boiler must have two safety valves, neither ol which must be Instetied down, and one of tbetu be completely vut of the control of the engine man. "4. Tho engine and boiler niUBt bo snp- fiorted on springs, and rest oh six wheels, the leigbt of the w hole not exceediug til'teeu feet to the top of the chimtiey. "3. The engitie with water, must not weigh more than six tons, but un engine uf less weight would be preferred on its drawing a proportionate loud behind it ; if only four and a half tuns, then it might be put on four wheels. The Company to be al liberty to test tho boiler, io., by a prossure uf one hun dred und fifty pounds to the square inch. "0. A mercurial guuge must be adixed to the machine showing the steam pressure to be forty-five pouuds per square inch. "7. The engine must be delivered complete aud reudy for trial at tho Liverpool end ol the railway, not later than the 1st uf Ucluber, 1823. "The price of the engine must nut exceed JL'350. On the 6th of October. 1823, the great match cuinu oil. Out of four engities en tend for the prize, two were withdrawn as uot ful filling the condition ; a third bruke down on trial ; uud Slepbetisou's ltwiet alone stood the test. It performance is thus described by Mr. S aiiles : ' It waa quite characteristic of Mr. Ste phenson, and of bis buaines, like qualities, that, although his engitie d:d not stand tirot ou the list fur trial, il was the first that was ready, aud it immediately entered upon thu Contest. The engine was taken to the extre mity of thd stage, tlii tire was filled with cuke, the tire lighted, the steam raised until it lilted tho sufety-vulve, loaded to a pressure of fifty pound to the square inch. This pro ceeding occupied fifty-seven minutes. Ihe engine then started ou its journey, dragging after it about thirteen tou weight in wagons, aud made the first ten trips backwards aud forwards along the two miles ol road, runuing the thirty-five aides, including stoppages, in an hour aud forty eight oiiuulu. The second ten trips were iu like niauuur performed in two-hours and three minutes. The maximum velocity attained by the) Jloclct during the trial trip, was tweutyroina miles an hour, or about three times the speed that cue of the judges of the competition bud declared to bo the limit of possibility. The average speed at which the whole of the journeys were per. formed was fil'letu miles an hour, or five mile beyond llie rates spec, tied in the condition poblishod by tho Company. The entire per formance excited he greatest astonishment amongst the assembled spectators ; the di rector felt confident their syiter tise was now on the ere of success, and George Stephen son rejoiced tn think that, in spite or all false prophets and fickle counsellors, his locomo tive system was now safe. When the ttorlcet. having performed all the condition of the contest, arrived at the platform at the close of its Uuy's successful run, M r. Isaac Cropper one of the directors favorable to the fixed engine system lifted lip his hands, and ex claimed -Now is George Slephcbsuu at lust delivered.' " The Itoclet wns of course, the best engine that Stephenson had theu constructed. It embodied till the improvements which lie lind bueri led to make, one by one, iu the course of his fifteen years of previous experience. The only essential structural innovation which it exhibited, however as compared with the oil. ginns which had been running nt lvillings worth ai early as 1816, consider! iu the udop tioti of "the multitubular boiler." The "steam blast" and the "nuillitubular boiler" moy he described, indeed, as the two grand inventions of Stephenson's life, and as form ing the very soul of the locomotive. "From tho date or running the llocket on tho Liver pool end Manchester Hailway," says Mr. Ho bert Stephonson, the locomotive has received many minor improvements in detuil, and especially fu accuracy of workmanship , but in no essential particular does tho xistin locomotive differ from that which obtained the prize at the celebrated competition at nuinhill." In other words, from the 6th of October, 1829, safe travelling at the rate of twenty or thirty, or, if necessary, fifty or sixty miles uu hour, was possible to the tnmaf, race. George Stephenson was forty-eight years of ajto when be accomplished this feat. He lived to the age of sixly-soveti, dying on the 12'.h of August, 18 4 3. Homo Without a Daughter. Hoys may not lack ofiectiou, but they may lack tenderness. They may not be wanting in inclination to contribute tboir quota to the Paradise of Home, but tbe.y may be wanting in the ability to carry out there inclination. The son or a household is like a young and vigorous sapling tho daughter is like a fra gile vino. We know a homo which once rejoiced in the sunny smiles aud musical accents of uu only daughter. She wus a lovely child womaaly beyond her years ; "Full uf gentleness ofcnlnust hope; Of sweet and quiet joy !" The child never breathed who evinced a more reverential affection fcr her parents than did she. Instead of waiting fur tboir com mands, she anticipated them ir.stoad of lin gering until they made known their wishes, she studied their wishes out. Morning broke not in that household until she awoke the night wus tot dark until her eyes were closed. How they loved her ! did her father and hrr mother; and of how ninny pictures of the future was she thu subject. "It is a fearful thing that Love and Death dwell in the same world," snys Mrs. llenian?. "Feurl'ul !" It is inuddeniug it is a truth thut is linked with despair. Suddenly, like a thief in the night, there eame a messenger from Heaven for the child saying that tho Lord had need of her. She meekly bowed her head and at midnight, "went forth to meet the bridegroom." The last minute of the lust hour of the last day of the last tnoulh was hallowed by her death. She went and came buck uo more ! Veurs huve rolled away since then, taut, still their agony in the household whose sun weul down when she departed. The family circle is incomplete there is no datichter there ! The form that once wus hers reposes among the congenial charms or nature and art; they have made tho place or her rest beautiful. If the grass glows rank upon her grave, it is because it is kept Wei with tears. ' Of tt truth, "a home without a girl in it is only half blest : it is an orchard without blossoms, end a spring without song. A house full of sons is like "Lebanon with its cedars, but daughters by the tire-side, are like roses iu Shuruu." Fipki.itt. Never forsake a friend. When enemies gather around when sickness fulls on the heart when tho world is dark and cheerless is tho time to try true friendship. They who turn from the cry of distress betray fieir hypocrisy, uud prove that interest only moves them, lfyoa have a friend who loves you and studies your happiness be sure to sustain him in adversity. Let him feel that bis former kiudness isuppreciuted und his luve was not thrown away. Heal fidelity may be rure, but it exists iu the heart. Who has not seen and felt its power! They only deny its worth and power who have never loved ft friend or lubored to make a frieud happy.

"When I lived np in Maine,1' said Uncto Kzra, "I helped to break np a new piece cl ground; we got the wood off in the winter, and early iu the spring, we begun plowing ou't. It was so consarnud rocky that we bad to get forty yoke of oxen to one plow, we did faith, and 1 held that plow mor n a week I thought 1 should die. It e'enemost killed me, 1 vow. Why, one day I was holdio', and the plow hit a stump whitjh measured just nine feet and a hair through hard and sound white oak The plow split it, and ( was going straight through the stump, when I happened to think it might snap together again ; so 1 threw my feet out, and had no sooner done so than it snnpped together, taking a smart hold or tho seal of my panta loons. Of course 1 was tight, but 1 held on to the plow bandies, and though the team sters did all they could, that team or eighty oxen couldn't tear my pantaloons, nor cause me to let go my grip. At lust, though, after letting the cattle breathe, they gave another strong pull all together, and the old stump came out about the quickest. It had mon strous long roots, too, let mo tell you. My wife made the cloth for them pantaloons, aud I Imint worn any other kind since." The only reply mnde to this was, "I should have thought it would huve come hard upon yonr suspenders." "Powerful hard !" "Prhacimno ims Riz." A correspondent writing from Hawesville, Ky., to the Cincin nati Gazette tells the following good story, which conveys a praevtcal lesson : A short time since it became tieccessary to adopt measures to procure the services of a minister at the African church in this place. Accordingly a committee was appointed to wait npou "Brutldeir Pearco," (ho was gene rally acknowledged to be tho most suitable personage to fill that high and honorable sta tion,) and solicit him to accept the pastorship of their church.

Two or three weeks passed and being una ble to get another r render, it was finally agreed to pay the stipend, and on the ensuing Uubhath the following took place : "Brtidder Peurce, we's eluded to gin you forty-five dollars to preach lor us," said a 'bouovolent colored individual," whereupou our clerical friend arose and responded : "Breddern, I can't preuch for dnt price."
