WooD HARD AS IRoN or sToNE.-A
method torender wood as hard as iron has
recently been found out il England, and,
from experiments made, Il il probable rail.
roads will be constructed Of il hereafter.
Heavy iron rails cost $1,000 per mile,
wooden rails prepared after the new
method will not exceed $500. An expe.
riinent III England with this rail Of aycar's
duration on the Doyer road has been en-
dured without any perceptiblc injury -
The method Of preparing the timber is
simple in itself. The pieces Of rail are
introduced into an immense iron cylinder,
lhe Dir exhausiedby pump. The pores
are then filled with a solution Of the
suIphaie Of iron, and aiterward the wood
il placed ii d similar vacuum in solution
Of tic muriate of lime, wbirh coming ID
contact with lie suIphale Of IRON within
the wood, dccemposes Il and forms 40 IN

becomes thoroughly impreguated with
stone, as hard as iron, through a simple
chemical process. fN. X Express.

MArERNAL ArrEcrroN.--The charms

MATERNAL AFFECTION .---The charms
If woman are certainly many and power
Iul The expanding rose, jusllbursiing in
10 bcauly, has an Irresistible bewiichinr
ness; the blooming btiiie led irlumphanily
TO the hymenea altar, awakeas adnira'
ton and interest, and The blush Of her
cheek fills with delight; but the charm Of
maternity is more sublime than all these.
Heaven has imprinted on the mothers
face, something beyond this world, some
thing which claims kindred with the skies
angelic smiles, the tender look, the wa
king, watchfiil eye, which keeps the fond
vigi over her sumbering babe.
These are objects which neither the
pencil nor the chse can touch, which
poetry fails 10 exalt; which the most clio.
quent tongue in vain would enlogise, and
OF which all description becomes neilec-
tive. In the heart Of man lies this lovely
picture; il lives in his sympathies, rcigns
IN his affections, his eye looks around in
vain FOR such another object on earth.
Maternity extalic sound! so twined
around our hearts, that they must cease to
,hrob ere we carEforget; lis our first love,
It's part Of our religion. Nature has set
the mother on such a principle, that our
infant eyes and arms are first uplii!cd. TO
it we cling in manhood, we almost worship
il in old age. He who can enter an apart
ment, and behold the babe feeding on its
mothers beauty--nourished by the tide Of
life which flows from her generous veins,
without painting bosom and grateful eye,
is no man, but monster.

Berlin lately fell deeply in love with the daugh-
ter of the lady at whose house he lodged his pas
sion was warmly returned, and the lovers swore
eternal fidelity and entered into promise to mar
Ty. But there was an insurmounlable obstacle to
their union in the fact Of the lady being Protes-

proessed themselves no less attached 10 their re-
spective faith than the other, Business called
the youth to BresIau; and when he had been
there few days, he received a letter from his

My dear friend-The difficulties which
have so long stood in the way of marriage
have at length been put an end 10, by the inter
Vention Of our angel-as you have so often called
your faithful Minna-who yesterday became a
Jewess"
Scarcely had this letter been dispatched, when
its writer received from her lover, dated Bres-
lau, and to the following effect:
'' My dear MinnG-The obstacle which pre-
sented itself to our union, in the unfortunate diff
ference in our religious faiths, no longer exists,
