Thompoon. Tho ooa uected with tho railroad may servo to relieve the tedium of travel by affording an agreeable exercise to the mind in endeavoring to explain thorn. When a landscape ia observed from a moving train, all objects to the remot horizon appear to be passing in the contrary direotioo, those nearest having the greatest velocity. Coo scipiently, if the attention be lixed upon any object at some distance from the line, all ob jecta beyond will rolativoly appear to be mor log fowartl with the train, while objects nearer appear to be moving backward!. The combined elFttct is to make the landscape appear to be ra vnlving centrally round whatever point wa 6x our attention upttn. Rain aoen from a moving train always seema to be falling obliquely (ex cept in a very strong gale io the direction of tho train's motion) iu a direction opposite to that of thn motion of the train. But it another train happens to pass in the opposite direction, and we look out at this and follow it with our eyes, raitidrops falling between the two trains will seem to lie Hying forward with ourctlvea, II wo stand upon a platform of a station ami watch a train approach, the end of the engine appears to enlarge or swell aa it apiiroaunea, and occupies a larger area of the held of vmion. Conversely the end of tho last car on a return ing train appears to shrink down and contract a it diminishes in apparent magnitude, Aa observer at somo slight elevation above a rail, road, seeing two trains paaa along simultaneous ly in opposite directions, will receive the ia prunsiou of oue lung train moving round a circle. Th Shut or (iniL to Get The true girl ha to hu sought for. She doea not parade her self as show goods. She ia not fashionable. Generally alio is not rich. Rut obi what a heart aim haa when you tind her I so large and pun and womanly. When you see it ye wonder if thoso showy things outside ww women. If you gain her love your two tboo naud aro millions. She'll not ask vou for a car rtage or a lirst claaa house. She'll wear simple dresses, and turn them when necessary, with 00 vulgar magnificat to frown upon her economy. She'll keep everything neat and nice iu your sky parlor, and give you euch a welcome when vou oomo linine that you'll think your parlor higher than ever. She'll entertain true friends on a dollar, ami astonish you with the new thought bow little bappineas depends on money. She'll make you love home (if you don't voo'n a brute), and teach you how to pity, while you scorn, a poor, faahionable society that thinks itaelf rich, and vainly triei to think itself happy. Now, do not, I pray you, say any more, "I coot afford to marry." Go, tind the true woman, and you can. Throw away that cigar, bum up that switch cano, be aenaiblo youself, and owl your wife in a sensible way.
