{ IN a sermon at the Second Baptist Church,
yesterday, Rev. Thomas 8. Malcom proposed a
plan for reading the whole Bible in one year.
BY reading three chapters each day, with two
extra for Sunday,-or twenty-three each week,
the entire Bible can be read in the year 1872.
In New Bedford the preacher once proposed this
plan and one hundred and thirty persons adopted

The Ice Blockade.

ACTION OF THE PHILADELPHIA COMMERCIAL EX-
CHANGE.
The Philadelphia Commercial Exchange have
adopted series Of resolutions referring to the
ieN Blockade, two of which are as follows:
Eourth. d uring the present week many
YNS8<els have been detained at the wharves, with
fNE5 cargoes ready to to sea, and totally help
&&sS while our ice-boats have been really useless
<8 their assistance; and at the same time a
#b bber of vessels, have for days been waiting to
NHhge their position from the Delaware to the
Nnylkill side, and utce Uersd, that they may
M*e in their proper cargoes, and have been
Aflly unable to move.
Fifth. A mum ber of vessels are now below,

This shows the completeness with which Phil
clphia is sealed up, whenever the weather is
NJ we're, and indicates the feeling of the mer-
ants there about it.
TIE SITUATION AT CHESTER
The Chester Republican, Of Friday, says
uring the greater part of last week. the Della
are was closed by an ice embargo from Billings
81 ort to Philadelphia, and all communication by
cam vessels with the city was cut OF. Al
II hester, about thirty vessels, including steamers
ri g-boats, brigs and schooners, of all kinds, tool
NJ fuge from the drifting ice from below, and bad
our harbor is, and insufficient for their pro
N ction, they lay in comparative security unit
lnday.
To remedy existing difficulties, one of the city
n pers willing to ignore Pennsylvania, suggests
at shippers establish an agency at Delaware
ty, where navigation il never oOstructed, and
essels can arrive and depart every day in the
ear. Why go to Delaware, when line ot
hore reaching at least five miles can be found
our own county and State, where navigation
never obstructed?" We predict that Chester
ill one day not very distant, compete witt
Philadelphia for the shipping trade and obtaiI
u Our people are now faster than their neigh
Dors, and in few years will outstrip them.

TO INVESTORS.


The 7-sO bonds of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
which have now taken their place among the solid
and fayorie securities of the country, have the fol-
lowing leading features;
They are first and only mortgage on the road, its
equipments and earnings and, also, as fast as the
road is completed on 20 600 acres of land tn each
mile of track; they b ar terest ut the rate Of s.
10 per cent both principal and interest are payable
in gold, the principal In thirty years from 1sTO and
the interest sem-annually (January and July,) at
the banking houses of jay Cooke 4 Co., Phlladel-
phia, New York, and Washington
They are exempt from United States tax, and are
Issued OF the following denominations Coupon
800, $500, and 81 900; Registered $780, $500 81 OOe
s50OO and $40 900. They are at all times receivable
at ten per cent preniinl q.1O in exchange or pay
ment for the Company's land at the latters lowest
cash price. The proceeds of all sales of lands are
reauired to be devoted to the purchase and cancel
lation of tae First Mortgage Bonds of the Compa-
ny. The Land Grant of the Road, exceeding Fifty
Million Acres, constitutes Immense Sinking Fund
which will probably cancel the principal of the
Company's bonded debt before it falls due.
U. S. 6-2Os, Delaware State bonds, Wilmington
City Loan and all other marketable Stocks and Bonds
will be received at their highest current price in ex-
change for Northern Pacific T-s0s.
With the same confidence with which they recon-
mended United States Government Bonds to the

aEFThe Baton Rouge State Jour.
nal is much dissatisfied with the
absorption of all Liberals and Re
formers by the Democratic party in
its recent coalition.
In a paragraph on the attitude it
assumes it uses the following en-
phatic language:
Let the Liberal and Democratic
conference committees bear in mind
that Louisiana is Republican
State; that it has been made so
through sacrifice of blood, of toll,
contumely and hardships; and that
Republicans will not forego the
fruits of their hard-won victory.
They desire to give equal rights
and advantages to oil, but they are
determined not to surrender their
own. For tho general good they
will enter into q copartnership with
their late political foes, but it must
be under Republican leadership.
In other words, Republican Lou
isiana must have a Republican
Governor:

It had pleased God to form poor Ned
A thing Of idiot mind,
Yetto the poor unreas'ng boy
God had not been unkind.
Old Sarah loved her helpless child
Whom helpleasness made dear.
And life was everything to him
Who knew no hope nor fear.
She knew his wants, she understood
Each half artic'l late call;
For he was everything to. her,
And she to hin, was all.
And so for many year they lived.
Nor knew wish beside,
Bat age at length on Sarah came,
And she fell sick and died.
He tried in win to 'waken her,
He called her DER and DER;
They told him she was dead-the words
To him no import bore.
They closed her eyes and shrouded her,
Whilst he stood wond' ring by,
And when they bore her to the grave,
He followed silently.
They laid her in the narrow house,
And sung the funeral stave,
And when the mournful train dispersed
He loitered by the grave.
The rabble boys that used to jeer
Whene'er they saw poor Ned.
Now stood and watch'd him at tho grave
And not word was said.
They came and went and came again,
Aud night at last drew On;
Yet sin he fingered at the place
Till every one had gone.
And whom he found himself alone
He quick removed the clay,
And raised the coffin in his arms
And bore it swift away.
Sttaight went he to his mothers cot,
And laid it on the floor;
Andwith the eegszness Of joy
He barred the cottage door.
E,L =
At once he placed his mothers corpse
Upright within her chair;
And then he hsaped the hearth and blew
Ths Endling fire with care.
