There is no teaching of faith in this popular litera ture. Its lessons arc all of morbid des pair. Even authors of lush rcnute. we rcp(at) Lavo coutribatci to disseminate - : tUis dark and hopeless philosophy.

Some traveler in Mexico relates the following whopper : "I was consoled by watching the beau tiul horses, mostly high stepping Craxca corcs. They were prancing along, looking as conceited as any man, and twice as handsome. I had been positively assured that they teach thc m to raise up thcir fore- lees immensely hich which they almost - , , .. - ., - ., . all do by putting on them magnifying spectacles when young, by which means the stones on thc road are made to appear large blocks in the way, and they lift up thcir legs in order to step over them, and so acquire the habit 1 dare say you laugh incredulously, but I tell you what was told me for a fact ; and I am furthur in formed that thLi is also practised in South America. 8Table-talk, or knocking, sometimes leads to embarrassing results, as is proved by thc following gossip, current at Berlin. A party met the other night and formed a chain, and when the fluid was in movement, a married lady present put the question " II ow many children have If " Tap, tap, tap, tap or four, replied the table. " True ; wonderful!" exclaimed tbe la dy, and all the others. Presently her husband came in, and asked the same question. Tap, tap, or two, was the answer. The effect produced by this may be bet ter conceived than described. This might be termed " scandalous table talk." CHR Tbe Orphans. i ia tiKLisi ati.

Farmer's Club, American InstiUta. The Chairman stated the subject of the day to be " The benefits of Railroads to Agriculture." Mr. Solon Robinson Sir, I proposed this question, and hoped to see hero those who are far more capablo than I am to render justice to its great importance however, for want of a better, I will begin. I have tried to convince farmers of the immense value of this rapid communica tion to the farmer that it was thcir sal-, vation. Thc first effect has been to bring beef cattle 1000 miles to our market In a week. Game, poultry, come the same dis tance in 43 hours. The oxen come as the market requires, notice of which goes by telegraph for the number required. The cost per ox is about 10 or $12, whereas, on foot, as of old, the oxen travel with loss of flesh and heavy expense on the road, from CO to 70 days before they reach New York. Strange that many farmers do not understand this. Sometimes our city would starve without this railroad supply. Last spring all the chief articles within striking distance were exhausted; now we rarely have on hand 100 head of oxen at a time. Some cattle are shipped from Chicago to Buffalo some from Indiana go by cars to Cleveland on Lake Erio, thence by cars to Dunkirk and to Buffalo, thence the greater part come by the Hudson River. Last week there came in a drove of cattle raised by the Cherokee Indians, marked with their hieroglyphics. An Illinois drover had bought them, fed them a while, and then brought them here by railroad, &c. Look at the map and see what a walk that drove must have had to reach New York without the steam and railroad I Oxen can travel only about 10 or 12 miles a day. And our milk for the morning coffee was milked last night, and drawn from Chat ham Four Corners, 130 miles distant from our city. Some years ago it was proposed ii ii i i ii ii i 1 i ii i i v w JL M JJ y jjl to Mr. R. L- Stevens, to have a freight train on his road, but he thought one car only wonld be used, and that would not pay. Now look there is a blackberry train ! AH this intercommunication is a great fertilizer all sorts of people are brought to a knowledge of each other, and a knowledge of the business of their own country and the world. Tho birds used to have the blackberries all to themselves nobody wanted the onc-thousandih part of them. I say nothing of the whortle berries which now come by rail, and are on tho tables of everybody. And the lands near thc railroads are growing more valuable every day, and they are in course of cultivation aud improvement, aud with out the railroads they would not have been reached this century, and hardly that The benefits go with the roads. One im proves tbe other with a rapidity which re sembles that of the trains which gl.de through thc lauds. Mr. Judd observed that he was not'esr- tain that there exists much much opposi-1 the subject of tbe day. JS was intimate tion to our railroads among our farmers, ! acquainted with 5ratjons of th nothing near as much as lucre is iu this:rie Railroad, at the tetaiuag of it. city to the Broadway Railroad.
