Many years ago I spent a Sftbbath with
Thomas Jefierson, at his residence in Vir-ginia.
It was in the month of Juno, and
the weather was delightful. While en-gaged
in discussing the beauties of the
Bible, the sound of a bell broke upon oar
cars, when turning to the sage of Monlicel-lo,
I remarked, 'How sweetly, how very
sweetly sounds that Sabbath beJI!' The
distinguished statesman for a moment seem-ed
lost in thought, and then replied :
"Yes, my dear Webster, it melts the heart,
it calms our passions, and makes us boys
again.' Here 1 observed that man was an
animal formed lor religious worship, and
that notwithstanding all the sophistry of
Kpccuri.tns, Lueretos, and Voltaire, the
them the cheapest horses known. At home,
they require, and receive, nothing beyond
what they ean gather from the marshes.—
In former times they were lighily esteem-ed
; but. of late yeare, a first rate pony will
readily command from 8150 tofcJOO. They
arc used either in harness or under the
saddle ; but are not, we think, depended on
for heavy work.
There are two nays in csffh year when
the'owners of ponies visit the pastures and
have what they call "pony pennit.gH."—
these are very public days, and large; num-bers
of people usually attend them. The
objects in view are, cither to brand the
colts which have been dropped during the

Scriptures stood upon a rock as firm, as j as the owners may w:>h to use or sell.—

give 787 marriages of cousins
which have given issue to deaf and dumb,
blind, idiotic, or insane children. Admit-ting
the same ratio to prevail, the Ohio re-port,
which contains 157 marriages ol cous-ins,
followed by deaf and dumb, blind, idi-otic,
or insane offspring, would iudicate the
existence of 2-i"i other marriages ol COUH-ins
in tire same population, not followed
by such defects. The counties which fur-nish
these 151 marriages, as above, and
are supposed to comprise in their limits
332 unreportcd marriages, making a total
of 483, contained in lSoll a population of
1,628,288. If the same ratio be supposed
to exist throughout the Union, there would

COAL versus WOOD.
In tie bwt Iv-iilway Times we find a re-markable
comparison of the cost of wood
and of -oal for tho rail load locomotive.—
The immense amount of wood now used
for generating steam, under which the
forests iu the older States aie fast disap-pearing,
makes this an important subject
for the whole country, whilst it i* peculiar-ly
so to us of the Deep lliver region.—
Adopt coal burning instead of wood burn-ing
locomotives on the rail roads in this
country, and the demand for coal would be
doubled, with a certainty of a large yearly
increas ■.
The artiele to which wo h lve alluded
says, tl at the Massachusetts l'ailwav Bo
port* fi r 1857. under the head ''Kuil used
for Engines/' show that the average cost
for rut niog 5,197.i»J7 miles was 171
cents- pet mile. This was the sverage.—
The highest, on one road, was Rl.fl eciiH
nolher, MM
cents, ineso roam an burn wood.
The London and South Western Hall-way
in lmgland burns coal which eosta
84.44 a ton, and its average cost is only "
cents a mile for fuel. Another Knglisfa
road burns coke costing 85.50 a ton, and its
expense for fuel is less than six cente a
mile. J'lys road runs more miles in a
year than all the Massachusetts roads, at a
cost for fuel of 810,000 a year, whilst the
cost to the Massachusetts roads is 81*97,-
000.
The Times s"ys that with coal the ut»
most cost to the Massachusetts roads should
not be :>vcr 7 cents a mile ; and it UVSS a
list oi seven roads in that State which nuW
spend 80(11 >>>•» 15 for fuel, which could
save i 125,457 26 of that amount by Being
