And that every individual making such selec— tions is contributing towards a general introduction of an invention admitted by all men who understand the principles of the Steam EnLine, to be a sure preventa tive against those dreadful disasters. You have cer tainly, in the hundreds of explosions that have already taken place, their almost daily occurrence, and the thousands of lives that have already been lost, a suffi cient warning, and inducement to make inquiry for a I Safety guard Boat, and in every case to give it the preference. They have went to an additional expense ' that your lives may be secure- Ought you not therefore to meet them with a correspondingdegree of liberality, and by your prefe.tence show that you appreciate their laudable endeavors to stop this awful sacrifice of hu man lift. They d) not charge more than other boats; their accommodations in other respects are equal, and in many cases superior; and as there is one le`aving Pittsburgh every day, why will ynu run any risk, when it is so completely in your own power to avoid th ,, e di s- asters.
