The following aiticle is from the pen of a young lady of Alabama, whose reminisceLce will be read with all the more pleasure for the scarseci- ty of personal anecdotes of the great Southerner It is a pleasanil yet mournful oc- Odpation to recal ,tle hours spent in tie society of th i gI-at and pure statesman, and tc dwell upon the im- * fe8siou made b- his conversation and appearance. Mord particularly do,I prize these minories since he is no longer among .s, and I know the privilege of listonil. to him is never again to be enjo3jid. Taught from childhood to admir I mignt almost saf-worship his eh.acter as a states- man" the first time beheld him is indelibly impressed ipon nly mind. The. fame of an cloq eut minister of tie hospel had dra: together the inhabitants of the htto vilage of P. and the surrounding guntry. Glan- cing carelessly over. the church, I was attracted by t!3 strilking ap. pearance of t gentldnan just then entering a pew near 'Ie 0n I occu- pied. His hair si!vred by age, form erect, the penetrn'ing ghtnce of his grdy eyej togecFer with the thoughtful oepressiou if his face, "marked him as no or'jnary man." Atdertainirig who he is, L could Aseatcely t'epress ai CX)!amnationl of delight and surprise. Tli man I ad. mired-more than any liv ow one was now before -me. Tho rrainider of the services were lost onvio my at- tdntion was occupied in wathling hi-n. Ie. joined in tile servi5s of the church with great devotion of man- ner-and paid undivided atyntion to. the sermon. In a short.4'me iv fied I rode to Fort lil a friend to eturn a call Ars. 4llion, with old fashioned'.lfospitali,- inii-t- ed that we should spend the]dav. To approach Mr. C. in a rbr1 to speak to him then, I had anti ated; but to know him-for the first tine iu his own home, to.ee him alog with his family,-was,-ep'leasure as unex- pected as it was agreeable. No young person draws near to a great main for the first time without a feeliing of awe. I longed for, yet dreaded Mr C.'s appearance inl the draw\iiig room. When lie enitered, awid I was presented to him, the simplicity of his manner, and pleasing, quiet con- versation, soon assured me, and I felt perfectly at my case.. lie was very agreeable to young people. en- tering into their amusemnients and oe- eupations as if lie felt and eniiijoyed them. With his sons his inter- course and influence were very hap- py. le treated their opiniois with respect, at the same time correcting them when erroneous. One in- stance I remember. One of his sons, a thoughtless lad, who had already learned to prido linself upon be- longing to the aristocracy of the State, where aristocracy of Iirthi is prized more than in any other State in the Union, spoke of thme impor-ti. S.nent curiosity and iniquisiti venmess of the lower class. "My son,'" remark. ed Mr. C., "'you ust not coin- mence life with such wvronmg imipres- atons. If you can give inform.ationi to those who have not your- ad van- tages, give it gladly, anid loarni from them in return. Some of the best lessons of my life I have lea rned fronm Pthose beneath me. If they have less education, they observe imore closely than we do. I never- meet a laboring man who seems disposed for conversation, but I listened to his remarks and ask him questions." -Turning over a portfolio of en- gravings for our amusement, Mr. C. held up to our gazec the most mis- erable daub in the way of a portrait I ever beheld. It was the head of a man, with fiery red hair, stamiiing up as if eachy hair was electri- fled; eyes without expression, aind Wot4th and nose unptroportionate. "l I you think this a correct likeniess?" lie asked with a peculiar- simile. 'I received this a flew days since, with an acopayn letter- reque1s. inai look of may hair , froum a younig lady who adnmires umy chmaracter', and has had so many desriputionms of' me that she thinks she can paint a co'r- rect likeness of mpe. This is the re- suit of her expieriment.' 'WVhy did you not return it and jnform her that it was unlike?' I ask- ed. she attributes it to me, I prize it as such,' be replied. 'I wrote, thank. ing her and sent the hair.' In the afternoon Mr. C., conduct- ed us through his gI rde i Id orchard. lie took much interest in agriculture, and had the most pro- ductive orchard and best regulated farm in the country. The day soon drew to a close. I shall ever re- gard it as one the most agreeable days of my life. I saw Mr. C., of ton afterwards, frequently in his own house, but never alone with his fami. ly. My admiration of him grew with my acquaintance. Never was man more beloved by those among whom he lived than he was. I visited them a short time after his death; a gloom of pervaded every iouseliold, For all felt they hadl lost a friend. [.elw York Times. 'WolF Nusrse-4. Tils; story of Iomiulus and lietnus being suckled by a wolf is accepted as fabulous; but the following state- ment is strictly true. In the kingdom of Oude, some ten years ago, a male child of about eightcen months old was niissed by its parents. It was supposed to have been carried away atnl devour- ed by the wolhes, wiich are verv plen tiful in that part of the world..- Every winter inunbers of chilren are destroyed by these animals, not onilyi n (ude, but in our own provin. ees in the north-west, About reveti years after the child was missing, a mani who gained his livelihood by shooting in the jungles saw a Iwolf and several cubs, and with thetu an animal such as be had never seenl before. It was like a boy, but ran upon all fours. The mlad-.o llowed the animal. but was 'unale to te.gA: ii t- ii t. days air wards sUCCc eId in taking tle animal alice.

(My head aches.) This is not thie onily inst anee on re- cord of a wvolfi having broughit up a young chil, whom it had carried away from its parenuts. Some four- teen mionths ago an aimral was tak- eni in the dlistrict of M\ozufifornugger', and brought to the station of Meer-ut. it was a boy of about five year-s of' age. and a mo revoltine ght ia would be difficult to conceive. The palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet were as hard as the hoofs of a horse. His movements were as nimble as timse of a iu'rikey, and not unlike those of that animal. Several English dogs which saw this child shewed a disposition to attack and destroy it (this was, of course, pre- vented), while the child in return snarled at the dogs, and shewed its teeth, as though it were upon these weapons that it would rest its defence. This boy, too, like the one taken in Oude, refused to eat anything but animal rood- uncocked; nor would it touch even that inl the presence of a hutnan being.

Wsrneditor says hef ead eggsad !ttal s fr"enfut RAILROADS.-In a recent num- ber of the Railroad Journal, we-find some capital remarks on the advan- tages of railroads, which we extract: "It is well known that upon the ordinary highways the economical limit to transportation is confined within a comparatively few miles, de- pending of course upon the kind of freight and character of the roads. Upon the average of such ways the cost of transportation is not far from fifteen cents per ton mile, which may be considered as a sufficiently cor- rect estimate for an average of the country. Estimating at the same time the value of wheat at $1,50 per bushel, and corn 75 cents, and that 33 bushels of each are equal to a ton, the value of the former would be equal to its cost of transpor- tation for 330 miles, and the lat- ter 165 miles. At these respect- ive distances from market neither of the above articles would have any commercial value, with only a com- mon road as an avenue to mark- at. But we find that we can move property upon railroads at the rate f one-fifth per ton per mile, or for one-tonth the cost upon the ordina- ry road These works, therefore, ex- tend the economic limit of the cost of transportion of tle abovo articles to 3,300 and 1,650 miles respectively. At the limit of the economsical move- rnent of these articles upon the com- mon -highway, by the use of rail- roads, wheat would be worth. $44,- 50 and corn $22,27, which sunis re- spectively would represent the actual increase of value created by the iit- terposition of such a work. "It will be,scen that gie valueiJ lands is affecte.d by railroads it - name ratio as' their pro watbrcoru iilie inm< cinity of a market, inny be worth, for the culture of wheat, $100. Let the average crop be 22 bushels to the acre, valued at $33, and the cost of cultivation at $15, this would leave $18 per acre as the nett profit. This quantity of wheat (two- thirds of a ton) could be transport- ed 280 miles at a cost of one cent per mile, $3,30, which would leave $14,70 as the net profit of landI at that distance from a market, when connected with it by a railroad. The valte of the land, therefore-admit- ting the quality to be the same in both cases--would bear the same ratio to the assumed value of $100 as the valu3 of its products, $14,00, does to $18, or $82 per acre- which is an actual eation of value to that amcunt, assuming the correet. ness of the piremises. The Sane calculation may, of course, be ap. plied with equal force , to any kind and species of property. We clip the following from the Chicago Journal, as to the arran c- ments of railways in Eigland, suloe of which might be imitated wit h profit: "The railways are well buiit, and the first el ass cars are g fo, though the second class ai-e poor-. Eaeb apartment holds eight persons, and three apartments to each car-. The engines ai-e much lowerci than ours, and apparently more simple. Tihe engineers have no covering, being x posed to the weather, and sometiimes have to wear- wir-e masks to pr-otect their faces; htaggage many times is put on the top of the passenger- (-ars and covered with canvass. When they connect car-s they screw them together till the huimpters touch, which makes the train a solid body , and prevents that jolting which is often so unpllleasant on ot r roads1(1. Thet G reat Westerni riad has- a seven foot track and a double track, wh lich is usual on all roads.

    pen of a young lady of Alabama,whose reminisceLce will be read withall the more pleasure for the scarseci-ty of personal anecdotes of the greatSoutherner

    It is a pleasanil yet mournful oc-Odpation to recal ,tle hours spent intie society of th i gI-at and purestatesman, and tc dwell upon the im-*fe8siou made b- his conversationand appearance. Mord particularlydo,I prize these minories since he isno longer among .s, and I know theprivilege of listonil. to him is neveragain to be enjo3jid. Taught fromchildhood to admir I mignt almostsaf-worship his eh.acter as a states-man" the first time beheld him isindelibly impressed ipon nly mind.The. fame of an cloq eut minister oftie hospel had dra: together theinhabitants of the htto vilage of P.and the surrounding guntry. Glan-cing carelessly over. the church, Iwas attracted by t!3 strilking ap.pearance of t gentldnan just thenentering a pew near 'Ie 0n I occu-pied. His hair si!vred by age,form erect, the penetrn'ing ghtnce ofhis grdy eyej togecFer with thethoughtful oepressiou if his face,"marked him as no or'jnary man."Atdertainirig who he is, L could

    Aseatcely t'epress ai CX)!amnationl ofdelight and surprise. Tli man I ad.mired-more than any liv ow one wasnow before -me. Tho rrainider ofthe services were lost onvio my at-tdntion was occupied in wathling hi-n.Ie. joined in tile servi5s of thechurch with great devotion of man-ner-and paid undivided atyntion to.the sermon. In a short.4'me ivfied I rode to Fort lil a friendto eturn a call Ars. 4llion,with old fashioned'.lfospitali,- inii-t-ed that we should spend the]dav. Toapproach Mr. C. in a rbr1 tospeak to him then, I had anti ated;but to know him-for the first tine iuhis own home, to.ee him alog withhis family,-was,-ep'leasure as unex-pected as it was agreeable. No youngperson draws near to a great mainfor the first time without a feeliing ofawe. I longed for, yet dreaded MrC.'s appearance inl the draw\iiigroom. When lie enitered, awid I waspresented to him, the simplicity ofhis manner, and pleasing, quiet con-versation, soon assured me, and Ifelt perfectly at my case.. lie wasvery agreeable to young people. en-tering into their amusemnients and oe-eupations as if lie felt and eniiijoyedthem. With his sons his inter-course and influence were very hap-py. le treated their opiniois withrespect, at the same time correctingthem when erroneous. One in-stance I remember. One of his sons,a thoughtless lad, who had alreadylearned to prido linself upon be-longing to the aristocracy of theState, where aristocracy of Iirthi isprized more than in any other Statein the Union, spoke of thme impor-ti.S.nent curiosity and iniquisiti venmess ofthe lower class. "My son,'" remark.ed Mr. C., "'you ust not coin-mence life with such wvronmg imipres-atons. If you can give inform.ationito those who have not your- ad van-tages, give it gladly, anid loarni fromthem in return. Some of the bestlessons of my life I have lea rned fronmPthose beneath me. If they haveless education, they observe imoreclosely than we do. I never- meet alaboring man who seems disposedfor conversation, but I listened tohis remarks and ask him questions."-Turning over a portfolio of en-gravings for our amusement, Mr.C. held up to our gazec the most mis-erable daub in the way of a portrait Iever beheld. It was the head of aman, with fiery red hair, stamiiingup as if eachy hair was electri-fled; eyes without expression, aindWot4th and nose unptroportionate. "lIyou think this a correct likeniess?" lieasked with a peculiar- simile.

    'I received this a flew days since,with an acopayn letter- reque1s.

    she attributes it to me, I prize it assuch,' be replied. 'I wrote, thank.ing her and sent the hair.'

    In the afternoon Mr. C., conduct-ed us through his gIrde i Idorchard. lie took much interest inagriculture, and had the most pro-ductive orchard and best regulatedfarm in the country. The day soondrew to a close. I shall ever re-gard it as one the most agreeabledays of my life. I saw Mr. C., ofton afterwards, frequently in his ownhouse, but never alone with his fami.ly. My admiration of him grewwith my acquaintance. Never wasman more beloved by those amongwhom he lived than he was. I visitedthem a short time after his death; agloom of pervaded every iouseliold,For all felt they hadl lost a friend.

    Tils; story of Iomiulus and lietnusbeing suckled by a wolf is acceptedas fabulous; but the following state-ment is strictly true.

    In the kingdom of Oude, some tenyears ago, a male child of abouteightcen months old was niissed byits parents. It was supposed tohave been carried away atnl devour-ed by the wolhes, wiich are vervplen tiful in that part of the world..-Every winter inunbers of chilrenare destroyed by these animals, notonilyin (ude, but in our own provin.ees in the north-west,

    About reveti years after the childwas missing, a mani who gained hislivelihood by shooting in the junglessaw a Iwolf and several cubs, andwith thetu an animal such as be hadnever seenl before. It was like aboy, but ran upon all fours. Themlad-.ollowed the animal. but was'unale to te.gA: ii t- ii t.days air wards sUCCc eId in takingtle animal alice.

(My head aches.)

    This is not thie onily inst anee on re-cord of a wvolfi having broughit up ayoung chil, whom it had carriedaway from its parenuts. Some four-teen mionths ago an aimral was tak-eni in the dlistrict of M\ozufifornugger',and brought to the station of Meer-ut.it was a boy of about five year-s of'age. and a mo revoltine ght ia

    would be difficult to conceive. Thepalms of the hands, and the soles ofthe feet were as hard as the hoofs ofa horse. His movements were asnimble as timse of a iu'rikey, and notunlike those of that animal. SeveralEnglish dogs which saw this childshewed a disposition to attack anddestroy it (this was, of course, pre-vented), while the child in returnsnarled at the dogs, and shewed itsteeth, as though it were upon theseweapons that it would rest its defence.This boy, too, like the one taken inOude, refused to eat anything butanimal rood- uncocked; nor would ittouch even that inl the presence of ahutnan being.
