RISE IN RAILROAD lRoN.-The last advices
from England, quoting iron rails at 60 lSs. and
10 per ton, on board, which is large advance
on previous rates, will in its effect, have an i'm
portant bearing upon the construction Of new
lines in this country. At these rates rails will
cost laid down in this country about $40 per
ton, being an advance of over $50 within the
past five months.
Wonder how much higher this iron must go
to induce our American iron mongers to try
their hand: How much over seventy dollars
per ton do they want! The Pacific Railroad
will in all probability be built by company
who will make their own iron, either using the
Lake Superior or Missouri iron mountains for
that purpose. 1t can be made here for $40 per
ton, and much better article than that impor-
ted. bet. Free Press

HEART WEALTH.

IT'S not in books of learned lore,
IT'S not in Colds nncounted store,
Nor yet in pleasures giddy round,
That heart-wealth may be sought and foun'
IT'S not in Fame's oertopping height,
For heart-howers droop in glory's light,
Though watered by the crimson sweat
That trickles from the bayonet!
But an it's i'm the priceless thought
That one true heart, with love unbought,
Finds melody in every tone,
And lives for thee and thee alone!
My verdict this, in calmest mood,
OF what comprises earthly good
Gods love except--though, all too sure,
In heart-wealth must still be poor.
