PurzlIpg Foot-Note.

An English magazine says:-"Some time back
Ia proof was sent to the writer, with query
|diIectng his attention to a note at the foot OF
page, TO which note there was no reference in
the text. The proof was a sheet of a scientific
Work OF deceased author, with annotations
and additions by gentleman who, since COM
pleting them for the publisher, had sailed for
1.-The East. The words of the suspected note
we're Ferguson ends here. Now Ferguson
the astronomer, had been spoken of in the pre-
heading pages; but what was meant by this odd
.ausion TO HIM our friend had not the remotest
fidea. To us the case was plain enough. We
saw at once that one OF the composltors en-
|nioyed on the work was also named Ferguson;
that ne na1 e 10 his % sbaye M he of fopt ~ bS Of

QUITTING.

The world is not perfect one.
All women are not wise or pretty,
All that are willing are not won
More's the pity-more's the pity
Playing wall-flower's rather fat;''
L'Allegro or Penseroso-
Not that women care for that
But, oh they hate the sighting beau so
Della says my dancing's bad
She's found it out since have cut her;
She says wit never had
said she 'smelt of bread and butter"
Mrs. Million coldly bows
did not think her baby "cunning;"
Gertrude says I've little ''nouS''--
tired of her atrocious punning.
Toms wife says my taste is vile
| condemned her maccaroni;
Miss McLush, my tlirt awhile,
Hates me-I preferred her orony;
Isabella, Sarah Anne,
Fat Estelle, and one other,
Call me an immoral man
have cut their drinking brother.
Thus It is-be only civil
Dance with stupid, short and tall
Know no line 'twixt saint and devil
Spend your wit on fools and all
Simper with the milk and waters
Suffer bores and talk of caps
Trot out peoples awkward daughters
You may scandal 'sOape-perhaps
But prefer the wise and pretty
Pass Reserve to dance with Wit
Let the slight be e'er so petty,
Pride will never pardon it.
Woman never yet refused
Virtues to a seeming wooer-
Woman ne'er yet abused
Him who had been civil to her.

THEIR FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
AS AN INVESTMENT.

The rapid progress Of the Union Pacific Railroad,
now building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and form
ing, with Its western connections, an unbrOken line
the continent attracts attention to the value
ofthe First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now
offer the public. The first question asked by prudent
investors is "Are these bonds % Next, Are
they profitable investment" To reply In briei;-
First, The early completion of the whole great line
to the Pacific is certain any future business event
can be. The Government grant Of twenty mil
lion acres oflaDd and fifty million dollars IN its own
bonds practically guarantees it. One-fourth of the
work is already done, and the track continues to be
laid at the rate of two miles day.
Second. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are issued
upon what promises to be one OF the most profitable
lines of railroad in the country. For many years 1t
be the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pa
cHc; and being without competition, it maintain
remuneratve rates.
Third. S76 miles of this road are finished, and fully
equipped with depots locomotives cars, etc. two
trains daily running each way, The materials for
the remaining l4l miles to the eastern base of the
Rocky Mountains are on hand, and 1t is under con-
tract to be done in September,
Fourth. The net earnings of the sections already
finished are several times greater than the gold In
terest upon the First Mortgage bonds upon such Sec
tions, and if not another mile of the road built
the part already completed would not only pay inte
rest and expenses, but be profitable to the Company
Filth. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can be is
sued only the road progresses and therefore can
never be in the market unless tney represent bona
fde property
Sixth. Their amount is strictly limited by law to
sum equal 10 what is granted by the United States
Government, and for which it takes a second lien
its security. This amount upon the first 57 miles
west from Omaha is only $4,000 per mile.
Seventh. The fact that the United States Govern
ment considers second lien upon the road good in
vestment and that some of the shrewdest railroad
builders OF the country have already paid in five mill
lion dollars upon the stock (Which is to them third
llen), may well inspire confidence in first lien.
Eighth. Although 1t Is not claimed that therecan be
any better securities than Governments, there are
parties who consider first mortgage upon such a
property this the very best security in the world,
and who sell their Governments to relnvest In these
bonds, thus securing greater interest
Ninth. AS the Union Pacific Railroad bonds
offered for the present at 90 cents the dollar and
accrued interest, they the cheapest security IN
the market, being 10 per cent. less than United States
stocks.
Tenth. at the current rate of premiums on gold
they pay

From inventors deliver me. When a
seedy looking man. with a napless coat, soiled
shirt, and uncertain eye seizes you by the
button hole and tells you he has plan to
revolutionize the naval architecture of the
world, or a projectile which will penetrate
anything but the complicated thickness of an
ordnance officers head, or a scheme to tunnel
the North river, avoid that man. He is foe
to human happiness. He don't care whether
you can aid him or not. He never expects to
succeed. Repeated disappointments have
driven him mad. He is only boring you to
get even. He knows you hate him and his
id patent; that your dinner may be grow
ing cold; that your Anna Eliza may be on the
verge of going to Grace Church with another
fellow. But the vampire revels in your
misery. He holds you by his skinny hand
and glittering eye until you beat your breast
in dire dismay, whether you are wedding
guest or not. l am indebted to one Coleridge
for the most of the last sentence. His conf
dental manner, combined with bad breath,
finally drives you into sigh for the smallpox
or other infectious disease, that you may be
quarantined from patents and patentees. Talk
about what the inventors have suffered from
the world Look at what the world is and
has been suffering from the inventors There
should be a special edict that any man invent
ing anything which competent board should
pronounce useless and frivolous, should be
instantly and ignominiously put to DEATH

''Mr. Bright yesterday afternoon, in his speech
on Lord Amberley's Sunday Lectures Bill,
quoted a coupet from Herberts poem on sun
day. and out OF seven independent reports in
this mornings paper there are four different

nearest to the original Isl
1.-THE week were da without Thy light

Then we have variation number one:
'The week were dark without thy light,
Thy torch to point the way"
The third version is:-
"The weeks were dark without thy light
Thy torch TO point the way"
Variation number four:-
The week were dark buJ for thy light
Thy light doth point the way"
What George Herbert really wrote was:-
"Tne week were dark but for thy light
Thy torch doth show the way"
Two of the reports attribute the lines to Heber
