IMPROVING THE QuALrTY OF IRoN.-t has
been found that the oxide Of zinc, when used in
very small proportions with the oxide Of iron,
very much improves the quality Of certain kinds
Of iron. Increased toughness, brightness aud
resistance to tetsle force result from the proper
use of these oxides Oxide of tin produces
closeness Of grain, hardness and fine crystal
line texture, very well suited to the wearing
surfaces of rails and tires. The oxides of the
earthly bases, such IS those Of calcium, bariun,
ETC., are employed in a similar manner, and are
found to remove certain defects in the resulting
malieabie iron. ss

An Old Story.

Once upon time a maiden
Sat beneath hawthorn tree,
And her lover, close beside her,
Murmured VOWS of constancy.
Fairer, sweeter than the blossom
Hanging over her, was she,
And her heart within her bosom
Throbbed and glowed tumultuosly.
Both were young, and fond, and foolish,
Neither rich, the story goes,
Ma was proud and Pa was mulish,
Great their love and great their woes.
So they kissed, and wept, and parted,
Swearing ever to be true,
Died the maiden broken-hearted
Was the lover faithful too?
pshaw she wed wealthy banker,
(Rumor whispered she was sold,
And no city danes outrank her,
With her pockets full of gold;
Queen at every ball and party,
Decked with lace and jewels rare,
Looking fresh and very hearty
Reigns the victim of dispair.
He-confound the little fellow
Took widow twice his years,
Fat and forty, ripe and mellow,
With brace Of little dears;
Big plantation. servants plenty,
Splendid mansion, pomp aud ease,
Cured the boyish love of twenty
That incurable disease!
Learn from this-ye doting lovers
In your anguish, not to break
Any thing Of greater value FEl
Than the promises you make.
Breasts were made to put in motion
Blood that otherwise would cool;
Pleasure, profit and promotion,
Graduate at Cupid's school.

FUGITIVE SLAvEs.-The New York Times
states that since the passage Of the fugitive law,
in 1850, some 35, 900 slaves have escaped from
the Southern States, and that the value Of the
property thus absconded or stolen amounts to at
least 35,000.000.
This is very gratifying exhibit to our aboli-
ton cotemporary, who chuckles hugely over the
fact and its consequences. ''The most valua-
bic slaves are those who escape" exclaims this
christian tempered editor. ''What interest in
this country can survive an annual loss of 50,
000,000?" The average increase of slaves in
the border States for ten years previous to 1850,
was s, 5,000-and 5000 ran away. Here is en-
ancipation without the help of abolition !"
Why, then, not let us alone? II abolition
ism inevitable, from the nature of things, why
break up the Government to effect what will
come to pass of itself Is the love Of thieving
so ingrained in your nature that you must stea]
