Railroads
The advance of a country in civilisation and
wealth in the present ern, has become rapid in
proportion to the extent of internal communica•
tions. All the moans of luxury and enjoyment
—says the 'Two Worlds;—are Ihtts Muhiplied,
and all the arts of life flourish more widely :
while commerce derives from this source a
greater stimulus to enterprise, a more enlarged
sphere of operations, and pours back ag.iin
thiough the various channels of industry by a
returning tide the i.e.:curves and the wealth :hitt
had flowed to her bottlers from within. Thos.
every link in the great chai n is strengthened:
new relations spring up, intere s ts are gieady
' ramified, new regions of prodoctiyene , s me ex
plored, sectional jealousies di,:appear, and po
litical ties form a closer brunt of Union. Such
is the effect of railroads. But these are n o t the
only advantages. They . stimulate travel and
observation,—and thus become the eiiivient
practical aids to a system of ethic:M on . I t i s
in the intercourse with the ‘voild that we Call
usefully apply the lessons we hate learned at
