n We were informed yesterday by gen.
deman who has every means Of knowing, that
preparations for the making of brick in this Vi
entity, are going forward on large scale, and
that more will undoubtedly be made than during
the last three years. No scarcity is anticipated
after the middle Of the season. This is very
important item. healthy competition, in this
line of business, will be likely to reduce prices
to reasonable figures. and a reduction in price
will set many persons to building who do not
now tcel able. Brick buildings are much more
substantial and dr1Able, less liable to fire, and
present better appearance than those Of wood,

ENBANKMENT sunk ON THE D. & ~ RAILWAY
The Grand Rapids Enquirer states that the heavy
embankment OF the D. 4 N. Railway across Ew
ing's Marsh, four miles east Of that city, COM
u,enced sinking some time since, and has now
totally disappeared, for space of 100 or more
feet, the surface OF the marsh closing over it,
with the exception of slight upheaval, precise
ly as before. The whole length Of embankment
ON this marsh, is 1000 feet, most Of which will
probably settle soon US the frost is out Of the
ground.

Arouse my muse, resiring thy Tyre
With sifvery chords. all new aud strong,
And tell the theme, thy hand inspire,
TO breathe an earnest, heartfelt lay,
For young, fresh, suniit, Iowa.
Sing OF her a. maiden fair, M Z
Ye, in her childhood's sportivc glee, "a
Prairie flowers twined in her hair,
With buoyant step and bosom free,
Just starting forth to meet the day
Beautiful, budding, Iowa.
Fair as the blackberry flower her brow,
The wild rose lends her cheek its bloom,
And her sweet breath Of fragrance, now
Is the ripe strawberry's rich perfume.
As blushing in her lap they lay
Luxuriant, lovely, Iowa.
Her dress of velvet, soft and green,
Gemmed with the crimson lily's hue,
And star-fower with its golden sheen,
The iris with its eyes so blue,
While blossoming wheat and corn-blades lay
Ger all the robes Of Iowa.
She battles her in clear purling steams,
Drinks at the gushing springs and wells,
BY the meandering river dreams,
Ia the deep shades Of sylvan dells,
Or hides from sweeping winds away, ~
In woodland screens-yOung Iowa.
Gaily each passing day she sings,
By mansion proud or cabin door,
And still to each she kindly brings,
Her fruits and flowers, an ample store,
Her heart is open as the day
And mines of wealth has Iowa.
Clasping the hand of earnest toll
To her rich palm, she bids all come,
Come live upon her own free soil,
She'll give them plenty, peace and home,
Come, come from stony lands to-day,
To the dear fields of Iowa.
Come from the crowded city mart,
Come from the isles beyond the sea,
Where toll must groan with sinking heart
In tyrant's chains; come, come be free,
Cast off your letters while you may,
Come live and love in Iowa.
List! all We Iestless, to her song,
Hopes waving pinion beckons on;
Come, then, with pure hearts true 4 strong
And soon the victory will be won;
Ye will not wish or dare to stray,
From the rich lands of Iowa. taN-
Come myidens, wives. and matrons, come
And hold picnic proud and grand,
Bring the rich Injuries from the home,
And treasures from the prairie land,
And crown her as your Queen ofMay
'Mong all the States-young Iowa.
