E0 In the last number of the N. Y.
Dnichman. we find the following, from
the pen of Fanny Fern, now a regular
correspondent to that valuable sheet:
"A little fatherless boy, of four years
of age, sat upon the floor, surrounded by
his toys. Catching sight OF his moth
err face, as the tears fell thick and fast,
he sPrang TO her side, and peeping curl
ously in her face, as he put his little
hand in hers said, "You'Ue got me-! ;
(Simple, artless, little comforter!) Dry
your tears, young mother There is
something left 10 live for; there are du-
ties from which even your bleeding heart
may not shrink! "A TALENT you may
not "bury;' stewardship, of which
your Lord must receive an account; a
blank page to be filed by your hand with
holy truth; a crystal vase to keep spot
less and pure; tender plant TO guard
from bligh, and midew; dew-dro that
must not exhale in the sun of worldli-
ness; an angel for whom "white robe"
must be made; cherub in whose hands
a"goiden harp" must be placed a little
.'lamb" to be led to the |" G ood Shepherd!'
"lou'Ue got mel" Aye! Cloud not
his sunny face with unrivaling sadness,
lest he ''catch the trick Of grief" and
sigh amid his toys. Teach him not by
your own vain repinings that "Our Fa.
'her' pi.ie,h not his children; teach him
10 &; love lin as seen in the sky and sea,
in rock and river; teach him TO love Him
in the cloud as in sunshine! You wM
have your gloomy hours; there is a void
even that little loving heart may not fill,
but there is still another, and he says,
"ME YE HAVE ALWAYS"
FANNY FERN.

A short time since, we left the cherish
ed idol of our hear,h-circle in the full
promise OF health and life. and returned
hnt to see him die! Our home is deso-
late. for its purest light has faded OUT
Willie is dead!
. God! how we loved the boy! He
was child of more than rare promise
brave, beautiful, noble hearted being,
and all manhood in every pulse. His
mind was most masculine, and he wrest-
led with death with The calm patience and
judgement of maturer years.
Would ,ha, in the spring time he had
gone TO his long night.rest of death W her
the flower and leaf and Tiny blade were
bursting out from their earth sleep TO
clothe the fields in beauty But it mat
ters not. He wandered not alone through
The dark valley, "for of such is the king
dom of Heaven The warm sun beam
and rain crop of spring time, will deck
the resting place of the little sleeper in
smiles. Little will he need, however,
either sunbeam or cloud on earth, for
there is no winter shadow in the eternal
summer sky Of bliss. ...
Blessed hope that death is not an "e-
lernai sleep!" The beautiful tene men,
Of soul of two summers will mingIe
with its pillow of earth; but, in the ST.
lence of the nighttime, We shall listen to
the trippling of little feet, and the low
whispering Of silvery voice-to the
sweet rushing of two little angel wings,
and feel the pure touch of a tiny palm up
on the faverish cheek. One of the
strongest links Of earth has been broken
but to bind us the closer to Heaven
Gods will be done!
The little play things are all pu. away.
A deep tide of brigh, hopes has been
rolled back upon the heart Crushed and
broken, we bow TO the storm that has
swept our hearth, and thank God that
there is better world than this for the
child.
Willie-our own loved, beautiful, gen.
tie boy-good night Cayuga Chief.

Process of Making Iron.

A letter from Pittsburgh, describes the
process of manufacturing iron in that re-
gion, which is very interesting.
The iron mill is under an immense
roof supported by braces, in such man
ner as not to require single post or pill
lar. Thus the entire floor is unobstruct-
ed, and teams with coal, ore, iron and
other materials, requiring carriage can be
driven through in every direction without
difficulty. Over head little railways are
hung, from which are swung great tongs
for the conveyance of heated metal from
one part of the building TO any other,
switches being so arranged that, with
very little trouble, railroad is prepared
in any direction requisite to carry the
metal to the various presses, forgers,
squeezers, rollers, or other machinery
This simple invention saves much time
and heavy labor, as well as danger to the
workmen. The process of reducing the
pig metal to sheets, bars, rods, and nails
are full OF interest to those who have no,
personally inspected the operation. The
pigs are first submitted to an intense heat
of furnaces, and after being "boiled' down
TO the proper consistency. the fiery, lava
like mass is worked up with a "pudGline
stick" as it is called, into huge. unshape
ly Jumps of iron from 80 to 100 pounds
each. These are seized by the tongs al
ready mentioned. and while yet scintilla-
ting are run along the overhead railways
to the great squeezing machine" (recent.
ly invented by Mr.. Burden, of Troy.)
which presses them into "blooms" o:
rolls, about eighteen inches long, and
eight inches in diameter. These are a
gain brought to white heat, and run in.
to bars, by the action Of massive grooved
rollers which seIze upon the heated mass
With irresistible power. and stretch il
out with no more ado than child would
