AH the bridges necessary would not coot so much as the Victoria Bridge at Montreal. There was not so much timber as he wished there was. But the Rocky Mountains were ftill of timber which could be rafted down the streams pretty nearly East to the Missouri River. This would obviate the great difficulty.— In Utah there was considerable timber, rather small. The Sierra Nevada was & well-wooded range from which timber could be rafted each way. He thought the road could be built for not more per mile than the Erie Railroad cost. Coal and iron were also plenty along the route. Now, as to the probability of remuneration. lie would not speak of diverting the East India trade from its present channels. This might be done ta some extent, but such calculations were too contingent and too dubious for him. He would Took only to the United States. There were 80,000 who passed between California and the States during the year 1859. This, was destined, he thought, to be largely increased. But with this as a basis, three/ fourths of these would have gone by Railroad. He believed that during the fifst year after its opening 100,000 persons would pass through paying 1100 each, making 1810,000,000. But the way travel would be much more. A good double* track Railroad from San Francisco to the Washoe region would have enough waybusiness to pay. This year some 5,000 or 6,000 loaded teams had passed from the Missouri River to Pike s Peak. They oharged 10 cents per pound. A railroad would pay a liberal incomo at 5 per cent, a pound, and $50 a head for passengers, who were now paying J100 for a very much less comfortable transit. The local business on the East End would pay for 700 miles of the road; on the West end it would pay for 400 miles. The through traffic then might be applied to the support of the intervening 900 miles. Now Utah was a great' mineral region, gold, silver, and precious stones, would be found there soon. All these would carryforward population. You wanted three men provided for every one man mining. With a Pacific Railroad mining would be enormously expanded, and open an immense market for the agricultural regions on cither end of it. It would add also to the value of New York. The soil of this island was worth to-day 8500,000,000. It would be worth not more than half as much had not the Eric Canal been the first means oi communication between the two slopes of the Alleghanics. New York had now achieved that population that every road built in the country must' now run to her. He hoped that the road would soon be built. Marriage and Style of Living.

My pip© I smoke—the pipe of peace— To And from care a brief release; Up with its changing eddying forms My thoughts are rising—spirit warms; All fantastic shapes ansuming, Like a landscape grandly looming, With airy towns and lakes afar. Just like the smoke of my cigar. Its silver folds of gossamer Are calmly floating out—away, When fresher airs will quickley stir These magic shapes to brisker play; And in this fickle, smoky strife, 1 see the changing forms of life. Numbers do and will remain unmarried, especially among our upper classes, from necessities artificially created or gratuitously supposed. Younger sons are constantly doomed to celibacy, not because a marrying income is unattainable by them, but because prejudice, custom, pride or laziness, forbids them to toil for its attainment. By inheritance, or by publio employment, they possess perhaps just sufficient to permit them to enjoy the pleasures and amenities of a New York life; miscellaneous society stands them instead of a domestic cirole—the club supplies the plaoe of s home—vagrant and disreputable amours (or amours that ought to be disreputable) make them unambitious of and unfit for wives, and they prefer to rest satisfied with a pleasant rather than labor for a happy and worthy existence. Others again possess an income amply sufficient for the support of a wife and family, and will not believe it to be so.— Their ideas of the style and comfort in which it is necessary to live are forged on a conventional and unreasonable standard. They will not condescend to the fancied indignities, or they cannot endure the trivial privations of economy—they will not ask the woman of their choice to share with them any home less luxurious than she has been accustomed to, and they condemn her to live without love rather than expose her to live without a carriage.— God only knows how many noble creatures have their happiness sacrificed to this miserable blunder—how many pine away existence in desolate and dreary singleness, and luxuries on which they are not dopendent, and splendor which confers no joy, who would thankfully have dwelt in the humblest cottage, and been contented with the simplest dress, and have blest the one and embellished the other, if only the men to whom they have given their hearts had possessed far less pride and more true faith in woman's love and sense and capaoity of self-abnegation. A higher and more just conception of the materials which really make up the sum of human enjoyment—a sounder estimate of the relative value of earthly possessions—a more frequent habit of diving down through the conventional to the real —and a knowledge of how much refinement, how much comfort, how much serene content are compatible with the scantiest means, where there is sense and courage to face the fact and oontrol the fancy— would in half a generation reduce the million and a quarter of spinsters we have spoken of, to a few hundred thousands, and raise into the condition of honored, happy wives, the vast majority of those " beautiful lay nuns," as they have been called, whose sad, unnatural, objectless existence, whose wasted powers of giving and receiving joy, it makes the heart bleed to witness. TMOLE HOTEL. PITTS TON, PA.— Xj HENRY HUFFOBD, Proprietor. 1850. The Metropolitan Fire Insurance Company. 108 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. Wycherly, the comedian, married a girl of eighteen when he was verging on eighty. Shortly after, Providence was pleased in his meroy to the young woman, to call the old man to another and a better world. But ere be took his final departure from this world, he summoned his young wife to his bedside, and announced to her that he was dying; whereupon she wept bitterly. Wycherly lifted himself up in bed, and gazing with tender emotion on his weeping wife, said :— " My dearest love, I have a solemn promise to exact from you before I quit your side forever here below. Will you assure me my wishes will be attended to by you, however great the sacrifice you will be called on to make ?" ST. CBARLE8 HOTEL, PENN AVENCE, Bcranton, Pa.—D. K. KRE88LER, Prop'r.

Is a pretty dress or form so attractive; or a pretty face even ? Flounces, boy, are no sort of consequence. A pretty face will grow old. Paint will wash off. The sweet smile of the flirt will give way to the scowl of the termagant. Another and a far different being will take the place of the lovely goddess who smiles and eats your sugarcandy. The coquette will shine in the kitchen corner, and with the once sparkling eye and beaming countenance will look daggers at you. Beware! Keep your eyes open, boy, when you are after the women, if the dear is cross, and scolds at her mother, in the back room, you may be sure you will get particular rubs all over the house. If she blushes when found at domestic duties, be sure she is of the dishrag aristocracy—little breeding, and a great deal less sense. If you marry a girl who knows nothing bat to commit woman slaughter on the piano, you hove got the poorest pieoe of musio ever got up. Find one whose mind is right, and then pitch.

We have good authority for stating that Alexander Hamilton, though reckoned among theAmore diffused orators of his day, did not occupy more than two hours and a half in his longest argument on tho trial of the cause, and his rival, Aaron Burr, not more than an honr and a quarter. A judge who was intimately acquainted with Burr aud his practice, confirmed this statement, adding that within his knowledge this advocate repeatedly and successfully disposed of cases involving a large amount of property in half an hour. " Indeed," said he, " on one occasion he talked to the jury seven minutes in such a manner, that it took me, on tho bench, half an hour to straighten them out." He added, " I once asked him, Col. Burr, why cannot lawyers always save time and spare the patience of the court and jury by dwelling only r i the important points in their cases ?" To which Burr replied, " Sir, you demand the greatest faculty of the human mind, selection." He is well known to have been one of the most effective advocates in his own time, and in this matter if in nothing else, he deserves to be studied and imitated. We refer to a single foreign example, an eminent English barrister. "I asked Sir James Scarlet," said Buxton, " what was the seoret of his pre-eminent success as an advocate. He replied that he took care to press home the one principal point of the oase, without paying much regard to the others. CHe also said that he know the seoret of being short. ' I find,' said he, ' that when I exceed half an hour, I am always doing mifehief to my client. I£_ I drive into tha heads of the jury important matter, I drive out matter more important that I had previously lodged there.'" We commend his method, and his reasons for it, not only to ministers, but quite as urgently to lawyers and members of Congress. Will not some of those third or fourth rate speakers of any sort, who in these days plume themselves on a speech of three or even six hours, be obliging enough to out out this paragraph and "inwardly digest'' it J 103 Murray, near W«D*t Street, GEO.

Mr. Secretary Walton read the statement. It sets forth that Maine has chartered the Pacific Railroad judiciously, and and that in order to build it, only 1,000,- 000 persons need give only $100 apiece. The middle route is preferred by Pike's Peak and Utah. The statement that the projectors of this road would use none but American iron was received with loud applause. They would ask the Government to give them alternate sactions along the road, and to loan them its crcdit to a reasonable amount, sccured on the road as it should be completed Sir Walter Raleigh, who was for a short time Governor of Jersey, thus relates the singular mode adopted lor recovering possession of the little island of Sark : wold, of Carbondale, Pa.

Dealers supplied upon liberal terms. • " The island of Sark, joining to Guernsey and of that government, was in the time of Queen Mary surprised by the French, and could never have been recovered again by strong hand, having cattle and corn enough upon the place as will serve to defend it, and being eveiy way bo inaccessible that it might be held against the Grand Turk ; yet by the industry of a gentleman of the Netherlands it was in this sort regained :—Ho anchored in the road with one ship, and pretended the death of his merchant, besought the French that they might bury their merchant in the burial-ground and chapel of that isle, offering a present to the French of such commodities as they had aboard. Whereto (with this condition, that they should not come on shore with any weapon, not even so much as a knife) the French yielded. Then did the Flemings put a coffin into their boat—not filled with a dead carcase, but with swords, targets, and harquebusses. The French received them at their landing, and searched every one of them narrcwly as they could not have a penknife, gave them leave to draw their coffin up the rocks with great difficulty. Some part of the French took the Flemish boat and rowed aboard their ship to fetch the commodities promised and what else they pleased; but, boing entered, they wero taken and bouna. The Flemings on the land, when they had oarried their coffin into the chapel, shut the door to them and taking their weapons out of the coffin, set upon the French. They run to the cliff and cry to their companions aboard the Fleming to come to their succor; but, finding the road charged with Flemings, yielded themselves and the place." Hiving had an experience of twelve years he feels confident of being able to give satisfaction in all branches of his profession. WM. HArDK*, TRACY IIAYDKX, July 19, I860.—lv.

Horace Greeley was thon introduced^,— He said he knew no more of this particular plan of the Pacific Railroad than ho had heard this evening. He had no plan, no Company, no route, no desire, but to impress upon the people , the necessity of building the road. He had been over the ground. The road was very practicable. Nearly one-fourth the cast or the Hudson River Railrcad was for land damages.— The Paoifio Railroad would mainly run over publio territory. There would not merely be a saving of nearly the whole right of way, but stone and earth oould be had for nothing. We had roads costing $76,000 a mile, of whioh the laborers got no more than #25,000. It was a very feasible route, more so than any railroad with which we were familiar. Great portion of the way was what was called the Plains. Here was no rook, the great obstacles to railroad making.

AH the bridges necessary would not coot so much as the Victoria Bridge at Montreal. There was not so much timber as he wished there was. But the Rocky Mountains were ftill of timber which could be rafted down the streams pretty nearly East to the Missouri River. This would obviate the great difficulty.— In Utah there was considerable timber, rather small. The Sierra Nevada was & well-wooded range from which timber could be rafted each way. He thought the road could be built for not more per mile than the Erie Railroad cost. Coal and iron were also plenty along the route. Now, as to the probability of remuneration. lie would not speak of diverting the East India trade from its present channels. This might be done ta some extent, but such calculations were too contingent and too dubious for him. He would Took only to the United States. There were 80,000 who passed between California and the States during the year 1859. This, was destined, he thought, to be largely increased. But with this as a basis, three/ fourths of these would have gone by Railroad. He believed that during the fifst year after its opening 100,000 persons would pass through paying 1100 each, making 1810,000,000. But the way travel would be much more. A good double* track Railroad from San Francisco to the Washoe region would have enough waybusiness to pay. This year some 5,000 or 6,000 loaded teams had passed from the Missouri River to Pike s Peak. They oharged 10 cents per pound. A railroad would pay a liberal incomo at 5 per cent, a pound, and $50 a head for passengers, who were now paying J100 for a very much less comfortable transit. The local business on the East End would pay for 700 miles of the road; on the West end it would pay for 400 miles. The through traffic then might be applied to the support of the intervening 900 miles. Now Utah was a great' mineral region, gold, silver, and precious stones, would be found there soon. All these would carryforward population. You wanted three men provided for every one man mining. With a Pacific Railroad mining would be enormously expanded, and open an immense market for the agricultural regions on cither end of it. It would add also to the value of New York. The soil of this island was worth to-day 8500,000,000. It would be worth not more than half as much had not the Eric Canal been the first means oi communication between the two slopes of the Alleghanics.

My pip© I smoke—the pipe of peace— To And from care a brief release; Up with its changing eddying forms My thoughts are rising—spirit warms; All fantastic shapes ansuming, Like a landscape grandly looming, With airy towns and lakes afar. Just like the smoke of my cigar. Its silver folds of gossamer Are calmly floating out—away, When fresher airs will quickley stir These magic shapes to brisker play; And in this fickle, smoky strife, 1 see the changing forms of life. Numbers do and will remain unmarried, especially among our upper classes, from necessities artificially created or gratuitously supposed. Younger sons are constantly doomed to celibacy, not because a marrying income is unattainable by them, but because prejudice, custom, pride or laziness, forbids them to toil for its attainment. By inheritance, or by publio employment, they possess perhaps just sufficient to permit them to enjoy the pleasures and amenities of a New York life; miscellaneous society stands them instead of a domestic cirole—the club supplies the plaoe of s home—vagrant and disreputable amours (or amours that ought to be disreputable) make them unambitious of and unfit for wives, and they prefer to rest satisfied with a pleasant rather than labor for a happy and worthy existence. Others again possess an income amply sufficient for the support of a wife and family, and will not believe it to be so.— Their ideas of the style and comfort in which it is necessary to live are forged on a conventional and unreasonable standard. They will not condescend to the fancied indignities, or they cannot endure the trivial privations of economy—they will not ask the woman of their choice to share with them any home less luxurious than she has been accustomed to, and they condemn her to live without love rather than expose her to live without a carriage.— God only knows how many noble creatures have their happiness sacrificed to this miserable blunder—how many pine away existence in desolate and dreary singleness, and luxuries on which they are not dopendent, and splendor which confers no joy, who would thankfully have dwelt in the humblest cottage, and been contented with the simplest dress, and have blest the one and embellished the other, if only the men to whom they have given their hearts had possessed far less pride and more true faith in woman's love and sense and capaoity of self-abnegation. A higher and more just conception of the materials which really make up the sum of human enjoyment—a sounder estimate of the relative value of earthly possessions—a more frequent habit of diving down through the conventional to the real —and a knowledge of how much refinement, how much comfort, how much serene content are compatible with the scantiest means, where there is sense and courage to face the fact and oontrol the fancy— would in half a generation reduce the million and a quarter of spinsters we have spoken of, to a few hundred thousands, and raise into the condition of honored, happy wives, the vast majority of those " beautiful lay nuns," as they have been called, whose sad, unnatural, objectless existence, whose wasted powers of giving and receiving joy, it makes the heart bleed to witness.

The sweet smile of the flirt will give way to the scowl of the termagant. Another and a far different being will take the place of the lovely goddess who smiles and eats your sugarcandy. The coquette will shine in the kitchen corner, and with the once sparkling eye and beaming countenance will look daggers at you. Beware! Keep your eyes open, boy, when you are after the women, if the dear is cross, and scolds at her mother, in the back room, you may be sure you will get particular rubs all over the house. If she blushes when found at domestic duties, be sure she is of the dishrag aristocracy—little breeding, and a great deal less sense.

We have good authority for stating that Alexander Hamilton, though reckoned among theAmore diffused orators of his day, did not occupy more than two hours and a half in his longest argument on tho trial of the cause, and his rival, Aaron Burr, not more than an honr and a quarter. A judge who was intimately acquainted with Burr aud his practice, confirmed this statement, adding that within his knowledge this advocate repeatedly and successfully disposed of cases involving a large amount of property in half an hour. " Indeed," said he, " on one occasion he talked to the jury seven minutes in such a manner, that it took me, on tho bench, half an hour to straighten them out." He added, " I once asked him, Col. Burr, why cannot lawyers always save time and spare the patience of the court and jury by dwelling only r i the important points in their cases ?" To which Burr replied, " Sir, you demand the greatest faculty of the human mind, selection." He is well known to have been one of the most effective advocates in his own time, and in this matter if in nothing else, he deserves to be studied and imitated. We refer to a single foreign example, an eminent English barrister. "I asked Sir James Scarlet," said Buxton, " what was the seoret of his pre-eminent success as an advocate. He replied that he took care to press home the one principal point of the oase, without paying much regard to the others. CHe also said that he know the seoret of being short. ' I find,' said he, ' that when I exceed half an hour, I am always doing mifehief to my client. I£_ I drive into tha heads of the jury important matter, I drive out matter more important that I had previously lodged there.'" We commend his method, and his reasons for it, not only to ministers, but quite as urgently to lawyers and members of Congress. Will not some of those third or fourth rate speakers of any sort, who in these days plume themselves on a speech of three or even six hours, be obliging enough to out out this paragraph and "inwardly digest'' it J 103 Murray, near W«D*t Street, GEO.

Mr. Secretary Walton read the statement. It sets forth that Maine has chartered the Pacific Railroad judiciously, and and that in order to build it, only 1,000,- 000 persons need give only $100 apiece. The middle route is preferred by Pike's Peak and Utah. The statement that the projectors of this road would use none but American iron was received with loud applause. They would ask the Government to give them alternate sactions along the road, and to loan them its crcdit to a reasonable amount, sccured on the road as it should be completed Sir Walter Raleigh, who was for a short time Governor of Jersey, thus relates the singular mode adopted lor recovering possession of the little island of Sark : wold, of Carbondale, Pa.

Dealers supplied upon liberal terms. • " The island of Sark, joining to Guernsey and of that government, was in the time of Queen Mary surprised by the French, and could never have been recovered again by strong hand, having cattle and corn enough upon the place as will serve to defend it, and being eveiy way bo inaccessible that it might be held against the Grand Turk ; yet by the industry of a gentleman of the Netherlands it was in this sort regained :—Ho anchored in the road with one ship, and pretended the death of his merchant, besought the French that they might bury their merchant in the burial-ground and chapel of that isle, offering a present to the French of such commodities as they had aboard. Whereto (with this condition, that they should not come on shore with any weapon, not even so much as a knife) the French yielded. Then did the Flemings put a coffin into their boat—not filled with a dead carcase, but with swords, targets, and harquebusses. The French received them at their landing, and searched every one of them narrcwly as they could not have a penknife, gave them leave to draw their coffin up the rocks with great difficulty. Some part of the French took the Flemish boat and rowed aboard their ship to fetch the commodities promised and what else they pleased; but, boing entered, they wero taken and bouna. The Flemings on the land, when they had oarried their coffin into the chapel, shut the door to them and taking their weapons out of the coffin, set upon the French. They run to the cliff and cry to their companions aboard the Fleming to come to their succor; but, finding the road charged with Flemings, yielded themselves and the place."

Mr. Lovejoy continued rcciting the pecuniary, military, and social benefits which tne railroad would confer upon the nation, and especially upon New York. It would operate also a very good diversion for the national fever now upon the oountry.

Horace Greeley was thon introduced^,— He said he knew no more of this particular plan of the Pacific Railroad than ho had heard this evening. He had no plan, no Company, no route, no desire, but to impress upon the people , the necessity of building the road. He had been over the ground. The road was very practicable. Nearly one-fourth the cast or the Hudson River Railrcad was for land damages.— The Paoifio Railroad would mainly run over publio territory. There would not merely be a saving of nearly the whole right of way, but stone and earth oould be had for nothing. We had roads costing $76,000 a mile, of whioh the laborers got no more than #25,000. It was a very feasible route, more so than any railroad with which we were familiar. Great portion of the way was what was called the Plains. Here was no rook, the great obstacles to railroad making.
