We have as yet hardly begun to op. preciate the manifold forms in tvhich rail. road facilities contribute to individual and] public advantoge. The increaseld com fort, rapidity, and cheapness of the modern railroad wtill-radily occur to every one; but there are very many collateral bene. fits which we are not so much impressed wnith, exerpt as reflection and experience bring thenm within our view. cA mong thee benefits we may, no doubt, rockon a great saving of health to persons obliged to travel considerably. The ox. Iposuro to all ehanges of whether during the long and dreary stage rides of the old. en time, was extremely formidable, often, to the most robust, and to the feeble and sickly it was almost certainly followed by serious Illness, and a tedious confinement to the bed of disease. But the luxurious dar, furnished wvith soft.cushioned seats and comfortable fires within, and protect. ed as 'olfetually as our parlors at home from 'he storm and cold without affords to the traeller, hovever delicate and Iweakly, all' that he could enjoy at home of safety from exposure, while the easy and ratid movement of the ear permits him to doze or read,' oorwerso, and thus to pass tho time pleatsanttly,.till ho i rdehlos the journey's end unconscious of wearn. ness or discomfort.. . s there any reason to doubt that one ing is a vast saving of health and strength? It s also a fact demoristrable by figures, that",there is a great saving of'human life resulting from the substitution of railways from old fashioned roads, contrary to the expectations of most persons, when rail. roads were first introduced; it is shown by accurafe statfstics oftcasn~alties in tra velling, that fatal' accidents were much more numerous under the old stage 'coach es'stem thain now by raitfway, and this not. withstanding tie vast increase of travel. bora.

The distanc .from the English grazing fields to the market is trifling compared with the long and wearsome route over which the Wes tern drover comecs to Philadelishia, Newv York, -&d." The lossof flesh midthcebil sumption of feed in consequoloo of the lack of raiond conveyanco is, of course, .vastly greater here than it could lhe in. Enogland. Consequiently railroad facili ties are worth so much the more to the American than tot he English grazier. iMut even when wye have railroad com-. munication, we boliove it is not customa ry for drovers to avail themselves of it for the conveyance of cattle. They must re member that cattle driven six, seven, or Ieight hundred miles must lose niuch of their weight and value, and cost a large sum for feed by the way, and to filt them afor butchering. Whether they decline employing the railroad from motives of economy, and ifso, whether that is not a mistaken economy, may perhaps he bettor determined in the light of the English sautistics on the subject to which we have referred above. WELLINGTON AFTER THlE DAT TLE OF WATERLOO. It waes late, it wvas midnight, wh~nn the Duke of Wellington lay down. lie hoad not found time so much as to wash his face or his hands; but overcome with fa. Amtigue, thret himself, after finishing his despatches, on his bed, he had seen Dr. Hume, and desired him to come punctu ally at seven in the morning wvith his re port; and the latter who took no rest, but spent the night beside the wvounded, came at the hour appointed. He knocked at the duke's door, but received no answer; he Slifted the latch and looked in, but seeing him in a sound sleep, could not find it in, his heart to awaken him; by and by, how-. ever, rflecting on the imo rtance of time to a man in the duke's high situatIon, he I beoing well aware that it rmed no article t in hIns grace's code to prefer personal In dulgence of any sort to publie duty, ho proceeded to the bedside and aroused the sleeper. The duke sat up In his bed, hisa face tumshaved, and covered wvith the dust and smoke of yesterday's battle, presen-. ted a rather strange appearance; yet his senses were collnoted, and in a moment lhe desired Hlume to make his statement,. The latter produced hisi list, and began to read, but when, as Iie proceeded, nanie after namo.&this as of one dead, the other as of one dying--his voice failed him, and looking up lie saw that the duke was in an agony of grief;- the tears chasetd one after another from his grace's eyes, making deep visible furrows in the soldiers black. ened cheells, and at last he threw himself upon his pillow, and groaned aloud. ."it has been my good fortune never to lose a battle yet all this glory can by nio moans compensate for o grema los of n.-.9 FAA 0* rft o6,~ ot y runirto ohe Iin - NO Nis, liidti~b I rhe re rhoide ".0 no oexadily runo whrchda ko it bd adpior Q~1Iot he sa wynbersstiny rov tA tdj ,e h d t i >e.pendicul not loghio t. creepectable aseny e inre's haley iin toye 1itaIerlf~i her.a Itwasnt long beforoatthe~ I me " ape inigor srWnorat0 d to sawerr othei itu'~Pl'i~ ~v~hj~in nento nr h ichly .
