kSold in the United States duringiLthe month Of
January.

These Bonds have sold, during the past
yenr, 10 an extent unequalIed by those of
amy other Corporation, and they hive now
taken their place among the solid and ia
vOrite securities Of the country.
This is because the Bonds based upon the
amplest security, being FIRST AND ONLY
MORTGAGE upon the railroad franchises, nd
all the lands and property, and rights of property
real and personal now in possession by the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, or which the said Compa-
ny may hereafter acquire" The Land Grant of the
Northern Pacific Railroad will average over $4,000
acres to each rile of road. This land is capable of
producing in abundance all the Fruits, Vegetables
and cereals of the Eastern or Middle States.
THE VALUE OF LAND GRANTS.
The averageIprice at which twenty-sixland grant
railroads have thus far sold their lands is S704 per
acre-the highest average of any grant being S139s,
and the lowest $3.07. With few exceptions the av-
eage selling price has increased from year to year.
Thelands of the Northern PacifcRoad are admitted
by all who have seen them, to be better and more
saleabe than those of most other grants but sold at
the general averaged $7,O4 per acre. they will yield
more than $161 per mile of road-more than three
times the possible cost of construction and equip
ment; at the lowest average of any grant GOD
they will produce more than $4,000 per mile, which
ed to issue bonds.
TRAFFIC ON PACIFIC RAILRO ADS.
AS officially reported the gross earnings of the pres
ent Pacific Railroad Union and CentraD for 1871, the
second year of through business December earnings
estimated) reach Seventeen Millions and Quarter,
Of this 65 per cent. is from Local Business and it is
stated, fully IS per cent. or nearly Nine and Halt
Millions, are net over operating expenses.
An equal traffic on the Northern Pacific Road will
pay dividend of more than 81 per cent. on its total
cost With its great and unquestioned advantages in
distance, grades, climate and tributary fertile coun-
try, the Northern Pacific is assured of vast and
profitable business from the outset with large in
crease for the future.
These facts regarding Pacific Railroad earnings,
and the market value of Railroad Lands, as shown
by actual sales to settlers show the unuuestioned
security of Northern Pacific Railroad Bonds.

A Pathetic Scene

The first sense of sorrow ever knew was
upon the death of my father, at which time /
was not quite five years of age; but was rath-
er amazed at what all the house meant, than
possessed with real understanding why no.
bodywas willing to play withme. remember
wentinto the room where his body lay, and
my mother sat weeping aloue by it. l had
my battledoor in my hand, and fell beating
the coffin, and calling papa; for, know not
how, had some slight idea that he was lock-
ed upon there.
My mother catched me in her arms, and
transported beyond all patience of the silent
grief she was before in, she almost smothered
me in her embrace, and told me, in flood of
tears, papa could not hear me, and would
play with me no more, for they were going to
put him under ground, whence he could new
er come to us again. She was very beau
tiful woman, of noble spirit, and there was
dignity in her grief amidst all the wildness of
her transport; which, methought, struck me
with an instinct of sorrow, which, before l
was sensible OF what it was to grieve, seized
my very soul, and has made pity the weak
ness of my heart ever since. The mind in in
fancy Is, methinks, like the body in embryo;
and receives impressions so forcible, that they
are as hard to be removed by reason, as any
mark, with which child is born, is to be ia
ken away by any future application. Hence
it is, that good-nature in me is no merit; but,
having been so frequently overwhelmed with
her tears before knew the cause of any affiic-
ton, or could draw defences from my own
Judgment l imbibed commiseration, re-
morse, and an unmanly gentleness of mind,
which has since ensnared me Into ten thous-
and calamities; and from whence | can
reap no advantage, except it be, that, in such
humor as l am now in, can the better in
dulge myself in the softness of humanity, and
enjoy that sweet anxiety which arises from
the memory of past Affections Sir Richard
Steele.
