What was it tiro Engines said,

Half a world behind each back I
This is what the Engines said,
Unreported and unread! '
With a prefatory screech,
In a florid Western speech
• Said the Engine from the WEST :
.".1 am frozn Sidrrti"rt - erest
And, if altitude's a test; • ,
Why,l redtoli, confe:seed,
That I've done my level best."
Said the Engine from the EAST;
"They who work best talk the least,
'Sposo you whistle down your brakes;
What you've done is no great shakes ;
Pretty fair—but let our meeting
Be a different kind of greeting,
Let these folkS, with champagne stuffing,
Not their Eiigines y , do, the puffing.

Said the Central: "I'm Pacific.
But when riled, Pm quite terrific.
Yet to-day, we shall not quarrel
Just to show these folks this ntoi
How two Enginer—in their vision—
Once have met without collision."

trumpet, had aroused every sleeper from

every eye was fixed .011 the man who

Paddle Your Own Canoe
Judge S. gave his son a thousand dol
liti'zi, telling; him to go to college and
graduate. The son returned at the end
of the Freshman year without a dollar
and with several ugly habits. About
the close Of the vacation, the Judge said
to his 8011, " well, William, are you go
ing to college this year?"
" Have no money, lather."
"But 1 gave you a thousand dollars
to graduate on."
It's all gone, father."
" Very well, my son ; it was all I
could give you. You can't stay here;
you must now pay your own way in
the world."
A pew light broke.in upon the vision
of the-astonished young man. - He ac•
commodated himself to the situation ;
left home, made his way to college,
graduated at the head of his class,
studied law, became Governor of the
State of New York, entered the Cabinet
of the United States, and has made a
record for himself that will not soon
die, being none other than William H.
Seward.
" I want no' more money," said a
gentlemn; the other day, ivho had re
tired from business, on the application
of a friend to join In what, promised to
be ft profitable investment. In answer
to a look of surprise, he continued: "
have three sons ; I gave them all a class
ical education. One became a merch
ant, another a lawyer a thirdi a'physi
cian. I gave them ail a fair start, and
they have bolnelfmne to live bn
The doctor had no patients, the lawyer
no clients, and the merchant no custo
mers. !They say to me, `Father, it's no
use fur us to work ; you have plenty,
and we will have more than we can
spend ; why should we be slaves of
business?' 'Why; now, should I want
more mon l ey , ? What I have has made
my sons Useless to themselves, useless
to society and to the world. Had they
been compelled, as - I was, to start out
in life on I nothing., and paddle their
own canoe, they might have been a
credit to themselves and to me, instead
of being, as they are now, a disgrace to
my family name.'
The more a thriftless child is helped,
the more he looks for it, and the more
he has to be helped ever after. As it is
in the moral world, so it is in the phys
ical as pertaining to the health of our
bodies, and' millions die prematurely
from not recognizing this principle, in
reference to bodily habits and functions.
The more nature is helped, the more:
she has to be helped. If a stimulus is
taken at a given hour, every day, it will ;
not be a week •be'ore there will be felt
a want of that stimulus about the regu
lar hour, and a very decided bodily dis 7
comfort follows if the artificial want i$
not satisfied. In this way millions are
made abject slaves for life to the use of
'tobacco, tea, coffee, spirits, and opium.
Unhealthful indulgence come upon us
in the same way. If one goes to sleep
to-day at any hour, arid is not specially
busy to-morrow,..he'will feel inclined to
take a nap, and soon he cannot do with
out it With any convenience.
If, in medicine, a tonic is taken for a
'few days, to increase 'the appetite, or
digestion, the system seemS to look for
it; and all tonics contain alcohol, mul
titudes hecorhe,l inn etredt drunkards be
fore they are aware'Of it. If any med
icine is taken to regulate the digestion,
that inedieine soon becomes necessary
to that regulation, and the man is
doomed to make an apothecary's shop
of himself for the remainder of his life.
If the nostrils are dry and you snuff
water up into them for this or any oth
er cause, ;nature soon ceases ,to prepare
the:proper lubrietint„'atid

A dozen mcnouysclf among them,

We had not proceeded much further

am nut certain that it will be worth
printing ; but, the editor must take
the responSihility.
%in matters of such importance and
notoriety, it takes more than' one tribu
nal to decide. We were first summoned
before the venerable
MRS. G4UNDY.
It was, on our part, mere common
place prudence, to avoid diseusSion, and
allow ,pti blic °pi n ion to settle itself with
out ilivestigation. Discussion might
discover testimony against us, and pre
vent the memory of witnesses from
growing misty and unreliable. Any
statement on our part might, have un
forscen applications, or be mispuder
stood or distorted to our prejtfdice. (Mr
adversaries forced us to abandon this
policy, so far as newspapers were con
cerned. The Wellsborough Phenix,
gave an editorial account of the atlair,
which, from our poin t of view, appeared
to be one-sided and malignant. It was
interlarded with 1. magisteri4l lecture
upon " law auc order," and legal
rights ; which, i our judgment, be
trayed hardness f heart) rather than
moral principle. iMany of our friends
expressed a belief,' that it was inspired
by a contingent interest in the recapture
of the slaves and in the damage -to be
recovered for their rescue ; and I have
reason to believe that such is the opin
ion of some of our old inhabitants, at
the present time. It is LuS7 duty today,
that after careful inquiry and consider
ation of all the racts, I came to a differ
ent conclusion.' The editor was a man
of cold teniperament;and very natural
ly took a judicial view of the case; ex
cluding all considerations of humanity,
as against sheer leg,al rights. Such men
are plenty at this day, and the great
wonder is, that many of their are pass
ably good, and professed believers in
the Gulden lulu ahtf Idl other rules of
christian morality. Such men wore
excusable forty years ago. The higher
law had nut been courageously formu
lated !Or that generation. The friends
of the slave obeyed its dictates for their
own righteous satisfaction, rather than

Their work was necessarily indepen
dent of public opinion. It was a pri
vate contest with a great overshadowing
interest which controlled the Oracles;
no wonder that some good people dis
approved. Can we have the same
charity for " good then,"l who, under
present, caret/instances, resist till efforts
to legalize justice and human rights! 11
they are not hypocrites, they are maid

This article in the P/icnix gave occas
ion to another in The:Northern /3cm/ter,
published at Tioga;of Which I. WU'S ed
itor. 'Without naming the parties im
plicated, it gave a true history of the
atlair, with a commentary on the de
portment of Messrs. Boyd and Freaner,
and made liberal use of such terms as
" liberty, equal , rights, inalienable
rights" &c. i\ty present opinion is;
that in literary merit, it was nut above
liar, but, the reading public was not
ptiii - ercritical ; and so far as 1 could
.arn, the article was relished and ap
'civet' very generally. It was copied
in siiine other papers; which was nut
the luck of that in the Phenix.:i It had
the advantage which an appkil to first
principles, wrahist a barbarous legality)
must alwaysnve in a free community.
Copies of tlii iltimicr. were sent to
Hagerstown, and kindled a "lire in the
rear " of the slave hunters : for, be it
known, there were many citizens there
who were glad that the chase after the
fugitives halt conic to nought; and a
still greater numher, whO Were disposed
to make fun at the
,crestfallen pursuers.
At our May Bessiowi when the Attorney
of Boyd aped Premier moved , their' dis
charge, be was so rash us to complain
bitterly qf our impudence in sending
the " dirty little paper " to the incigh

The communication in he Gazette
answered the purpose for w ich it was
published. In Lycoming ounty, " and

belief that defense on our rt, was out
