False Pride a Bano to Society. The Oreat Tunnel of the Baltimore and Ohio A young lady of high accomplinhmerits (and no pride) in the absence of the servant stepped to the door on the ringing, which announced a visit from one ofher admirers. ! On entering, the beau, glancing at the harp and piano, which stood in the apartment, exclaimed, " 1 thought I heard music ? on which instrument wero vou performing, Miss?" "On the gridiron, sir; with, an accompaniment of the frying-pan!" replied ; " my mother is without help, and she sa) that I must learu to finger these instrunienfyooncr or later, and I have this day day C*\mfew4!ed taking a course of lessons." 1 of domestic education has C:ss 0f sense in it than any other orrav,ement Qfj;fe_ flic false | "'ea ''mt *' lwingcnteel to labor—especially for a ludj mre especially for a city lady —but most espe,'„Uy for a wea/ihy, young ' 'ly la(Jy (""even, thousands from taking that kind and amoii,t 0f bodily exorcise on which sound health *,1 a firm constitution so much depend.

Both in England and on the :ontinent a large proportion of cholera cases, in its several forms, have been observed to have occurred between one and two o'clock in the morning.

The bird and the beast are made his tributaries, and taught to obey him. The fowl summons him at morning to his labors, and the evening chant of the night-bird warns him to repose. The ox submits his neck to the yoke; the horse moves at his bidding in the plough ; and the toils of all are rendered sacred and successful by the gentle showers and the genial sunshine which descend from Heaven, to ripen the grain in its season, and to make earth pleasant with its fruits.

Patriot, who has been in that region thus describes it: From thence I visited the big Tunnel, about nine miles ofT. 1 never had formed any conception of the modus operandi of these hardy Irishmen in tunneling*through a mountain for a railroad track, a mile and a quurter wide. There are already sunk three shafts some 20 by 16 feet, and from 175 to 185 deep, and you will see hundreds of shantees, reminding you of a new town in California. mtion' fit a iched hv r It is at night that the streams of air nearest the ground must always be the most charged with the particles of animalized matter given out from the skin, and delete, rious gases, such as carbonic acid gas, the product of respiration, and sulphuretted hydrogen, the product of the sewers. In the day, gases and vaporous substances of all kinds rise in tire air by the rarefaction of heat; at night when the rarefaction leaves them they fall by an increase of gravity, if imperfectly mixed with the atmosphere, while the gases evolved during the night instead of ascending remuin at nearly the same level. It is known that carbonic acid gas at a low temperature partakes so nearly of the nature of a fluid that it may be poured out of one vessel into another ; it rises at the temperature at which it is exhaled from the lungs, but its tendency is towards the floor or the bed of The Will of Sir Robert Feel. The .shafts bring now completed to the perfect level of the road, a large number of hands are enabled to go to work, tunneling through the rock—all of which has to be brought up through the shafts, except at the two extremes or sides of the mountain. They work day and night—one sett during the night and the other by day. This is a stupendous work, and under contract to tho enterprising contractors Messrs. Lemmon, Gorman 8 Co., who are fully confident of having the whole completed in less than 2 years. They have had a hard time of it during the winter; a continual outlay in the expensive preparation for so mighty a work, in a distant ond mountainous region, where everything like provision wasscarce and hard to be procured at prices greatly beyond those obtained in our Eastern cities. The indomitable courage and enterprise of those contractors is about, however, to bo richly rewarded by the large monthly estimates they will be enabled to have made them hereafter, by so good a pay master as the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and will, as they deserve, be able to make a considerable amount of money for their incessant After entailing Drayton Park, and other large estates in. Staffordshire and Warwickshire, it proceeds to recite sums to the amount of nearly a quarter of a million, previously advanced to, or settled upon his several children, ) not including £9,000 per anNum settled on his eldest son,) and then bequeaths about £600,000 more, making the portions of his five younger sons £106,000 each. He leaves to a chapel erected by him at Fazeley, in Staffordshire, £1,000, (afterwards revoked because he had endowed it with lands,) and £6,000 to a school established by him in tho said village; to the Infirmary and Lunatic Asylum in Manchester, ar.d the Lyingin Hospital in Salvord, £100 each. The will is dated July 27, 1820. By a codicil of February 11, 182!), the portions of his younger sons are iucreased to £135, 000 ; and of the residi*, which is said to have exceeded half a million, four-ninths were bequeathed to the late Baronet, and one-ninth to each of his five younger sons. The personal property was sworn at what is technically culled "upper value," which means that it exceeded £000,000, and was the first instance of the scale of duties extending to such a sum. |the sleeper, in cold and unventilated rooms, At the alarm of cholera at "DgCt, in some parts of the city was So great, that on some occasions many refused to go to bed, lest they should be attacked unawarrs,in their sleep. Sitting.up, they probably kint their stoves or open fires burning for l4C sake of warmth, and thut warmth giving the expansion to any dele, terious gases present, which would best promote their escapt and promoto their dilution in the atmosphere, tjje means of safety were thus unconsciously assured.— At Sirra Leone, the nativts have a practice, in the sickly season, of keeping fires constantly burning in their huts at night, assigning that the fires keep away the evil spirits, to which, in their ignorance they attribute the fever and ague. Laterally, Europeans have adopted the same practice and thoso that have tried it assert that they have entire immunity from the tropical fevers to which they were formerly subject. The successful merchant is a laborious man, but so long as his efforts are not regarded as labor, it does not wound his pride, lie toils for thirty years as vigorously as a mechanic, but not exactly understanding that his work is really labor, he feels that lie bus just as good a right to despise it as has the man who is born to a fortune, and he teaches his wife and daughters to despise every useful owupAtion, and goes to his store daily to sweat and toil for gold, nut doubting the respectability of his efforts, however enormous, so long as the world does not brand it with the disgraceful name of labor. For such men—for any man to dispise the ennobling and God ordained institution of honest toil and honest sweat for an honest subsistence, is making war on the natural institutions and best interests of society, and treading sacrilegiously and contemptuously on the asheq of his father or grandfather who tilled the soil; The works of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in passing through Western Virginia and the Ohio Valley, will be among the proudest works of the age. labor Adventures of a Young Lady in endeavor- ing to Emigrate to America. An interesting story is told by the Glasgow Saturday Post, of the adventures of a young lady, Miss Mary Brown, daughter of a gentleman lately dead, and from whom her brother, who had been disinherited, and turned cab driver, was in the habit of ex- A Disguised Locomotive.—The ingo- — nious invention called the " Dummy Engine " was recently completed at Matte wan, for the Hudson River Railroad Company, and made a trial trip yesterday , afternoon from Thirty-first street to Chamber street, under the supervision of its inventor, Henry Waterman, Esq., and the Street Commissioner. It is a novel affair, and attracted the attention of thousands as it moved ulowly through Canal and Hudson streets. It ts constructed with four wheels on each side, and two drivers in the middle. The entire machinery is condensed and enclosed so that the locomotive appears the same as a baggage car. It consumes its own smoke and is so arranged that the engineer can check its speed almost instantly, whether a train is attached or not. It is about 90 horse power and is .capable of drawing a train of 20 cars. All who have inspected the new invention express themselves highly pleased with and there seems 110 doubt but it will eventually prove a successful experiment. After the Street Commissioner pronounces it practical and safe for the " Dummy " to run through the streets of the city, the trains of the H. R. R. R. will be drawn to and from the 31st street station by this disguised machine.—N. Y. Sun. torting money Having friends in America, she determined to emigrate, and took her passage in the " Citv of Glasgow " steamer, which left on Tuesday. Iler brother, disappointed and vexed at her intended departure, formed a scheme to detain her. A trumpery claim was reared up, and a mediUtlione fugn warrant applied for. He sneaked on board the vessel, and caused his sister to be apprehended. Violence was resorted to, and she was dragged on shore ; and, refusing to listen to her friends' proposals for letting her off, she was carried before Sheriff Bell. The Sheriff, after hearing the case, detected the trick, and dismissed h«r. She left the Sheriffs office, and met her friends; she was now freed from her tormentors. In the epidemics of the middle ages (ires used to be lighted in the streets for the purification of the air ; and in the -c Liondon, ot i065, fires in the streets were at one time kept burning incessantly, till extinguished by a violent storm of rain.— Laterally, trains of gunpowder have been fired, and cannon discharged for the same object; but it is obvious that these measures, although sound in principle, must, necessarily, out of doors, be on too small a scale, as measured against an ocean of atmospheric air to produce any sonsible effect. Withindoors, however, the case is different. It is quite possible to heat a room to produce rarefaction and consequent dilution of any milignant gases it may contain ; and it is of course the air of the room, and that alone, at night which comes into immediate contact with the lungs of a person sleeping.— Westminster Review. Young men ! you are fostering' a false pride which will ultimately rankle at the core of your happiness and make you slaves indeed. Oft' with your coats, and in the name of reason and liberty rush with manly strength into architecture, agriculture, or the manufacture of works of utility, and leave the measuring of tape to the weaker sex. Ho men ! cease to crowd into clerkships und starve your way through life in the vain hope of being the fortunate one who shall become rich out of five thousand who will remain poor. Ladies, if you wo'd be worthy of your age, of the genius of a noble country, and of an exalted civilization, set us an example of wisdom of employing your time on something useful to the world. Are you rich ? thank God, then, that you may have your time at your command to bless and benefit your less fortunate sisters of want, and their helpless offsprings. You can thus become angels of mercy, almoners ot good, and merit the benedictions of God's poor while you live, and their tears when you die. It is a disgrace to citizens of a republic to foster ideas, of caste, upper classes, tower classes, etc., as constituted merely by wealth. It is a distinction dictated by perverted Acquisitiveness and Approbativeness. Intellectual und moral aristocracy is less intolerable than that based oil wealth and its ajuncts, and is the only admissible feature of the very questionable feeling in a land of freedom.

The "City of Glasgow" steamer had passed Greenock nearly half an hour before the arrival of the train, and was seen slowly steaming past Gourook. —► Fulton. The Poetry of Agriculture. A gentleman, now an honored reprc. sentative of ono of the Congressional Districts of New Jersey, visited Robert Fulton when he was in l'aris. The man whose genius has made a new era in civilization occupied a small and obscure room. The embodiment of the expunsive power of steam  was confined within very narrow limits.— Like Diogenes in his tub ; Fulton, was almost lodged in the circumference of a cylinder. On the wall of his habitation was sketched coarsely, but distinctly, the plan of a steamboat. " There," said Fulton, as he pointed it out to his visitor, " there is the image of what will yet traverse the river and the ocean." And wherever he went, this image of the future he carried with him. If he did not sketch it on the wall it was written in his mind. He saw it as he walked along ; ho thought of it; he dreamed of it; and at last he acted it. The taper of his lone room the world. The principles of agriculture are exceed, ingly simple. That they might be made so, God himself was the first great planter. He wrote its laws, visibly, in the brightest, loveliest, and most intelligible characters, everywhere, upon the broad-bosom of the earth ; in greenest leaves, in delicate fruits, in beguiling and delicate flowers! But he does not content himself with this alone.— He bestows the heritage along with the example. He prepares the garden and the home, before he created the being who is to possess them. He fills them with all those objeots of sense and sentiments which are to supply his moral and physical necessities. sing in boughs above him, oders blossom in the air, and fruits and flowers cover the earth with a glory to which that of Solomon, in all his magnificence, was vain and valueless. To His hand we owe these fair groves, these tall ranks of majestic trees, these deep forests, these broad plains covered with verdure, and these mighty arteries of flood and river, which wind themselves along, beautifying them with tho loveliest inequalities, and irrigating them with seanonable fertilization. Thus did the Almighty planter dedicate the great plantation to the uses of that various and wondrous family which was to follow. His home prepared—supplied with all resources, adorned with every variety of fruit and flower, and checkcred with abundance, man is conducted whhin its pleasant limits, and ordained its cultivator under the very eye and sanction of Heaven. God himself appears within its valleys at noon-day—its groves are instinct with life and purity,and the blessed stars rise ftt night above theee- A Gourock steamer was leaving the quay, and Miss Brown went on board of it. The Gourock steamer was rapidly overhauling the huge " City.of Glasgow," when, all on a sudden, the latter was seen to " 'bout ship," and steam towards Greenock. The cause of this sudden change arose from an accident which happened to the oil cistern on board. A steam tug was dispatched to Greenock for a fresh supply of oil; and hence the delay which proved so fortunate for the persecuted orphan. Taking a small boat, Miss Brown was rowed towards the vessel, and received on board, amid the cheers of the passengers. A new matter of consternation now arose; the Captain thinking she would not get away, had landed all her luggage at Greenock, and there wo3 110 hope of getting it. Further vexation was put an end to by the return of the tug carrying the oil, with all Miss Brown's lugguge on board. Certain friends at Greenock had seen her luggage at the quay, and forwarded it with the tug. Thus were all further impediments hapily got Over.
