VALUE OF A SWEET VoIcE.-We see it
stated by correspondent of the Home
Journal, that Jenny Lind pays 1900
under the English income tax. She has
invested in the English three per cents,
about $750,000. Her annual income,
therefore, from that source alone isaboGt
$4,000. He states that she has gwen
away in charity about 9S4,0Q1 ($4O0,-
000) as near as it can be estimated.
$4,000 of this was given in England;
$4,000 in Edinburgh. In Edinburgh
she gave five concerts at guinea tick
ct. On the first four she cleared .e2O,-
900; and on the fifth an additional e.
600, which was devoted to charitable
purposes. He estimates the entire a.
mount of her European wealth at s L.
600, 900.

The Allentown Iron Works, in lehigh coun.
ty, PennSy lvania, were closed on the 9th OF No
vember, and all the workmen discharged. These
furnaces have made as much as ten thousand
tons of Iron in one year; and in that time con-
suned 10000 tons Of Anthracite Coal, 25 coo
tons Of Iron ore, and - 900 tons of Limestone.
They were constructed with all the new itn-
provemcnts, and were very advanagccusly sta
ated ON the Lchi9h River. The quality Of the
Iron was so decidedly superior, thai il always
obtained the highest prices.
The Miners Journal says, ''thus, one by one,
cur Manufactures are closed. The above cy-
hibits al a glance the condition ofthe Iron trade
in Pennsylvania. Ii needs no comment. 1t
shows at once the immediate necessity of better
protection i'll this department of our business in

woman and the inspiration Of q true poet are
hers.
II is her right 10 watch beside
The bed Of sickness and of pain,
And when the heart almost despairs,
To whisper hopes Of health again:
Her right 10 make the hearth-stone glad.
With gentle words aud cheerful smile;
And when man is with care oppressed,
His wearied spirit to beguile.
1t is her right to train her sons
So they may Senate chambers grace
Thus, is she with more honor crown'd,
Than if herself had filled the place.
Il is her right TO he admired
BY every generous, manly heart,
When, with true dignity and grace,
She acteth we'll q Woman's part.
She hath desrer right than this:
To be in one true heart enshrinci--
Who, though the world may all i0rsakc.
viii cherish still, and still be kind.
And there is yet higher right,
" blch, also, is TO woman given;
'TiS hers to teach the infant mind fven
Those truths divine, which came from hca-
What would she more, than to perform,
On earth, lte's hottest, sweetest tasks'
When you perfect woman find,
No other rights than these, she asks.

HE DISCOVERIES OF THE AGE. 1t Is
beyond the power Of con lecture to antic-
ipate the developments that wait upon
the investigations and explorations Of
the future. Layard has laid bare the
wonders ofthe ancient Nineveh, and ex-
pectaton is rife and suggestion busy
with the details, as they amplify them
selves before the perseyering hand Of in
domitable research. Ninevah is full of
promise with respect to the history Of
the ancient nations of the east, and es-
pecially Assyria, and will probably yield
the key to many of the undetermined
eras of known and familiar events; thus
we may anticipate the elucidation Of
many puzzle written upon the margin
of the book of time, from which the orig.
inal text has been erased. Our path is
becoming every day clearer to the past,
and it is there, perhaps, that the future
is to be most distinctly read.
1t was but a few years since that the
discovery was made of a cursive system
of writing, common TO the Romans in
tine time of Traan, almost identical with
our own. And now we hear of writ
ten language existing in the interior Of
West Africa, discovered by Rev. Mr..
kocllc, one Of the Sierra Leone agents
OF the London Church Mission Society.
1t is called the Wy language, and the al
phabet consists Of syllable characters 10
the number of about one hundred. Here
is new and interesting field Of inquiry,
holding out the promise Of information
with respect to people and a depart
ment of history hitherto inaccessible and
enyelopcd in the mystery Of the past.
Herculaneum and Pompcii have yet
given up but 1.-THE Of their secret de-
posts, and as opportunity iavors the zeal
of inquiry, there are treasures of history
yet to be exhumcd from these unscaled
repositories of the past.-Buh, Sun.
