directing Incident.
Some time ago, while attending an eminent sur
geon, for the purpose of having an operation per
formed on one of my ears, I met with the follow_
mg case :—One morning a friend of mine led in.
to the same room a fine looking young woman
who was completely blind and completely deaf.
Ilk Sad condition had been brought on suddenly
n violent pain in the head. tier cash was ex
amined by a number of surgeons then present, all
of whom pronounced it incurable. She was led
Mick to the house of my friend, when she eagerly
inquired what the doctor said aboutler case, and
whether he could atEird her any relief. The only
method by which her inquiries could be answered
was by tapping her hand, which signified no ; and
by squeezing it, which signified yes; for she could
not hear the loudest noise, nor distinguish day
from Mot. She had to receive 14 her answer on
this occasion, the unwelcome tip No. She burst
into tears, and wept aloud in all the bitterness of
desphir.
"What," said she, "shall I never again see the
light of day, nor hear a human voice ? Must I
remain incapable of all social intercourse, shut up
in silence and darkness, while I live." Again
she wept.
The scene was truly affecting. Had she been
able to see, she might have been pointed to the
Bible as a source of comfort. Had she been able
; is hear, words of consolation might have been
qoken; but alas! these avenues to the mind
were closed, to he opened no more in this woad.
Her friends could pity, but they could not relieve;
and what made her case still more deplorable, she
was an orphan ; had no father or mother, or broth
er or sisti r, to pity and care for her. She was en
tirely dependent upon a few pious friends fur her
support. This she felt—and continued to weep,
till my friend, with great presence of mind, took
up the Bible and placed it to her breast. She felt
it and said, "Is this the Bible?" She was answer
ed that it was. She held it to her bosom, and
said, "This is the only comfort I have left—thmigh
I shall never be able to rend it any more ;" and
began to repeat sonic of its blessed promises, such
as "Cast thy burden on the Lord, and ho will sus.
min thee"—"As thy day, so shall thy strength
be"—"Cull upon me in the day of trouble, and I
will deliver thee"—“My grace is sufficient for
thee," &c. &c. In a moment she dried her tears,
and became one of the happiest persons I ever
saw. She never seemed to deplore her condition
afterward. I many times heard her tell of the
strong consolations she felt. She appeared to en.
joy uninterrupted communion with the Father of
Happily for this young woman. sho had been
taken, when a very little girl, to a Methodist Sab..
bath School, where she enjoyed the only opportu-
Tiny she ever had of learning to read the Bible,
and where she had committed to memory those
passm,
, es of Scripture which now became her so
lace and the food of her spirit. With what grati
tude she used to speak of her teachers, who she
said not only taught her to read, but took pains to
instruct her in the things that belonged to her
eternal peace 1 "What would have becomo of
me, had
,I not Men been taught tho way to salsa_
tion ? for now I am deprived of all outward means,
was her constant language.
I never look into a Sabbath school, and notice
the children repeating portions of Gud's holy word
but I think of the above case. How precious was
that Minatol of seed, cast in by some pious teach.
er, vho little thought, perhaps, at that time, that
she was furnishing the only means of salvation to
an immortal spirit! What multitudes will have
to bless Gud in eternity for the like instruction !
Let not, then, our Sabbath school teachers ever
grow west' in well doing, for in due season they
shall reap their reward.

Education of the Children of the Irish
Laborers on the Public Works
The noble suggestion of Mr. Stovens,communt
cated through a !tutor published somo weeks sirtco
in the Brioford Argus, in reference to provision
being mado for the education of the children of
poor laborers upon the public works, we rejoice
to see, has met a hearty response already, and,
called firth thin efforts of some benevolent and
philanthrophic Contractors in Luzern° county
Wo notice to a West 4lranch paper, an article
signed by Edward White & Co., appealing Mice
tionately to the Irish laborers, a number of whom
they wish ti employ upon condition that they
practice total abstinence from all intoxicating li•
gums, and obligate themselves to lead sober and
orderly lives. fly complying with this condition.
(and none will be employed who do not Comply
with it,) Mr. 'White promises on his part to pro•
vide for the education of their children, both in.
moral culture and religions instruction. Wo
have read the article of Mr. White with much
plensitro, end have no hesitation in saving that

the purest bentwolenco, aro alono the incentives
which impel this friend of the poor Ii hilt laborer
to net as the pioneer in the glorious enterprize,
seggesled by Mr. Stevens for the amelioration of
the condition of ilia children of the laborers on the
public works.
In speaking of Mr. Stevens' suggestion, Mr.
White say*: —"Mr. S. in indeed the friend of ed.
oration—fits conduct i* beyond all ['rake. May
others emulate no noble an example, tinny those in
power, whose fortunes a great portion of the Irish
citizens have for so many years followed, even
now prove their gratitude, by holding out the fa.
edition of education to the thounandn of Irish
children similarly circumstanced throughout the
on t 1011."
Though Pennsylvania is but the Slate of his
adoption, Ng. Stevens has shown himself on all
occasions, and under all circumstances, the moat
efficient arid intrepid, as well as eloquent and un•
wearied friend to her true interests. He is the
recognized champion of a system or universal etl•
ucation, as free to all as the air we breathe.
de his craven spirited, flail and malignant en

OHIO RAIL ROAD.—An adjourned meet-

at Winchester on Wednesday last, to delib•

Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company.
The meeting was well attended, as we learn
from the 1V inchester -Republican, and after
thoroughly discuss'ng the merits of t he ques
lion, it was filially decided, by a large ma
jority, in liivor of the proposed sale. Should
I he contritet he closed,wbich will thus change
the ownership of the six miles of the Win

Rail Road Company, the arrangement or
transter will of course in no
_degree affect
injuriously tire intercourse between the up-
per portion of the Winchester Rail Road,
and lla Ter's Ferry, or between Winchester
an d Bahnnore. On the.contrary,cvery thing
in that respect will go on as smoothly as
heretofore, and, as a great law character
once said,while arcing the partizan politician
—"probably more so:" According to the
Winchester Republwan.in case the arrange
