Beautiful Sentiment.

Bulwer eloquently says: at cannot
be that earth is mans only abiding
place. 1t cannot be that our life is but
a bubble cast up by the great ocean of
eternity to float for a moment upon its
waves and then sink into nothingness.
Else why is it that the glorious aspira-
tions which leap like angels from the
temple of our hearts are forever wander
ing about unsatisfed? Why is it that
the rainbow and the cloud come over
us with a beauty that is not of earth,
and then pass away, leaving to muse
upon their mysterious loveliness? Why
is it that the stars which hold their fes-
tival around the midnight throne, are
set so far above the grasp of our limited
faculties, forever mocking us with their
unapproachable glory? Why is it that
bright forms of human beauty are pre-
sented to our view and then taken from
us, leaving the thousand streams of our
affection 10 flow back n Alpine torrents
upon the heart? We are born for a
higher destiny than that of earth.
There is realm where the rainbow
never fades where the stars will be
spread before us like islands that slum-
Der on the ocean, and where the beings
who now pass before us like shadows
will stay forever in our presence"

A Popular Investment.

The First Mortgage Bonds of the Northern
Pacific Railroad have now won position as
the leading railroad security in our market.
No other Bond is selling with anything like
the rapidity which Messrs. Jay Cooke & Co.
report for these, none is based on an enter
prise of so much Importance to the country,
and none combines in so large measure the
elements of security and profit. Central
Pacific Bonds are based only on a railroad
without any other property, and bear only
sir per cent. interest, yet they are selling at
1O3. Northern Pacific Bonds, on the other
hand, are first lien on a Railroad having
immense advantages in the matter of dis
tance, grades, cost of construction, &C., over
any other line, and in addition are a first
mortgage on the enormous land-grant of the
company, amounting to more than fifty
million acres Of the most valuable lands in
the Northwest. Northern Pacific Bonds, in
fact, combine the security of real estate
mortgage with the convenience Of a railway
bond, and are more profitable than any other
similar investment. For 80 years to come
they bear interest at the rate of $40 per
cent. per annum, in Gold, yet they are offered
now at par and accrued interest in currency.

POETRY.

This sweet, wonderful poem is sent to us
by a friend. We should like to know who is
the author:
"She is deadw they said to him, "Come away;
Kiss her and leave her, thy love is clay!
They smoothed her tresses of dark brown hair;
On her forehead of stone they laid it fair;
Over her eyes, which gazed too much,
They drew the lids with gentle toucn;
With tender touch they closed up well
The sweet, thin lips that had secrets " 'en'
About her brows and beautiful face
They tied her veil aud her malrlage-iace
And drew on her white feet her white silk shose;
Which were the whitest no eye could choose;
And over her bosom they crossed her hands
"Come away" they said, "God understandsv'
And there was silence, and nothing there
But silence, and scents Of eglantare,
And jasmine and roses and rosemary,
And they said, GAS lady should lie, lies she."
And they held their breath as they left the room
With shudder, to glance at its stiffness and gloom
Buthe who loved her too well to dread
The sweet, the stately and the beautiful dead,
He lit his lamp and took they key
And turned it, Alone again-he and she.
He and she; yet she would not speak,
Though he kissed, in the old place, the quiet cheek
He and she; yet she would not smile,
Though he called her by the name she loved erewe.
He and she; still she did not move
To any one passionate whisper of love.
Then he said Cold lips and breast without breath!
Is there no voice? no language of death?
Dumb to the ear. and still to the sense,
But to heart and to soul, distinct, lntenSeT
See now; 1 will listen with SOUL not ear;
What was the secret of DYING dear?
Was it the infinite wonder of all
That you ever could let lfe's flower fall?
Or was it greater marvel to feel
The perfect calm DER the agony steal?
Was the miracle greater to find how Deep
Beyond all dreams, sank downward that sleep?
Did life roll back its record dear
And show, as they say it does, past things clear?
And was it the innermo.t heart of the bliss
To find out SO what wisdom love is?
o, perfect dead! O. dead most dear,
hold the breath Of my seul to heari
! listen, as deep as to horrible hell,
AS high as te heaven, and you do not tell
There must be pleasure in dying, sweet,
10 make you so placid from head to feeti
would tell you, darling if 1 were dead,
And 'twere your hot tears upon my brow she'd
would say, though the angel of death had laid
His sword on my lips to keep it unsad.
You should not ask vainy, with streaming eyes,
Which OF all deaths was the chiefest surprise;
The very strangest and suddenest thing
OF all the surprises thatdying must bring"
All, foolish worldi Oh, most Kind dead!
Though he told me, who will believe it was said?
Who will believe what he heard her say,
With the sweet soft voice, in the dear old way:
"The utmost wonder is ths-I hear,
And see you, and love you, and kiss you, dear;
And am your angel who was your bride,
And know, that though dead, 1 have never died."
