The Investment OF Savings.

A prominent New England banker
having sold to his customers a consid.
cradle amount of Northern Pacific Rail-
road bonds, decided to make an exami-
nation of the accessible parts of the line
of the road, to see for himself the char.
acter and progress of the work, the
quality Of the company's lands, the ma
ture OF the country traversed and the
prospects of the enterprise generally.
He spent three months of the present
season in making the tour, going first to
the Pacific coast and visiting the route in
Washington Territory, along the Puget
Sound Basin and Columbia Valley, to
the western slope of the Rocky Noun
tains, then returning eastward and
spending considerable time in Dakota
and Minnesota.
After thorough examination he con-
cludes: 1. That in not single par
ticular, so far as we can Judge, do the
publications of the Railroad Company
Overstate the advantages of the route,
while in many regards these advantages
exceed any published statement; 2. The
work is advancing both from the East
and the West at satisfactory rate; 3.
Intelligence, honesty and energy mark
the management of the enterprise IN the
field; 4. A large and lucrative traffic
awaits the completion of the various Sec
lions of the line; 5. The resources pos
sessed by the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, in it's munificent grant of fer
tileland with accompanying privileges,
are more than sufficient, when properly
developed, to cover the cost of building
and equipping the entire Road and pro
vide depots, docks and other facilities;
6. The belt of country along the middle
of which the road runs, and whose trade,
travel and business are naturally tribu-
tary to it, embraces the finest body of
unoccupied land on the continent; Z.
With efficient management (Which seems
to be amply guaranteed by the high
character and well-known experience
and ability of the Directory, the lands
and traffic of the company should render
Its first mortgage bonds one of the safest
ofinvestments, sure to rise much above
par in market value on the completion
of the road and the closing of the
loan.
Now that Government bonds can no
longer be purchased except ats-ch high
prices as to reduce the rate of interest
to about 5 per cent, Northern Pacific
Railroad bonds, with their real estate
security, have become favorite means
of investments. AS they are issued in
denominations as small as one hundred
dollars, persons of small means can
purchase them as well as capitalists !;
and as they are registered as well as
coupon, money invested in the former
perfectly protected against fire, theft,
or other loss. The semi-annual inter
est on the registered bonds is paid by
gold checks sent regularly to the post
Office address of the holder, in any part
OF the country. The rate of interest is
seven and three-tenths per cent. gold,
or about 81 in currency. The bonds
can be ordered through almost any
bank or banker, or directly from the
p Financial Agents of the Northern Pa
= cifie Railroad Company, Messrs. Jay
Cooke & Co., New Ytr or Philadelphia.

euaFall--let them fall around;
Fall on the reddening ground
Fall, as we tall away from life's sere tree,
INTO the ocean of eternity
Lost, swallowed up, and drowned.
Fall, though the sun is high,
And bright and blue the sky;
Yet every soughing wind its myriad sends,
Falling, still falling, as falsc-hearted friends
In our adversely. tt
Yet while they fall, still fall,
A BONNER lighJ than all,
A bluer sheen than yon autnmnal sky,
Shines on me, as feel thy love-ht eye
'Dispel my beings thrall.
;s- We walk, those leaves above,
Thy soft voice, like the dove,
Low murmurng; Or as when, the woods among
On morn of Valentine, the wild birds song
,s Whispers her mate of love.
So let them fall away,
Friends of the summer day
False friends, who cannot bear Affections test
know the love that iveth in thy breast
Will never fail away.
Never! Not even when
Beyond earth's narrow ken,
Like dead leaves fiuttering in the autumn-tide
We two have passed, our love shall still abide
Shall have grown perfect then.

one for the West The number of hands
employed in cotton manufacture is Males
above sixteen years, Al, 100 females above
fifteen, 69,637 children and youths, o..
942. Over $39,OOO,OO0 was paid in wages
during the year endeng June, 1870. The
aggregate weight of goods produced was
349,3l4.592 pounds, and the aggregate
value $l77 ,489,1S9. The aggregate value
of the goods produced is many millions of
dollars less than the aggregate value Of
the raw cotton raised during the year in
the Southern States, which shows that
there is room tor plenty more mills, and
that cotton manufacture will have to make
immense strides before it is equal to cot.
ton production. 1t is to be hoped that
many years will not have passed before
every pound of cotton raised in the United
States will be manufactured into goods in
the United States, and that instead of Tx.
ing our raw material, foreign consumers
will BIZ compelled to pay tax to American
industry for manufactured material.

CEDAR CREEK, which flowed under
the famous Natural Bridge of Virginia,
has suddenly disappeared. Not far
above the bridge there were found,
upon examination, three "leaks" in
the bed of the stream, through which
the water poured into some channel far
underground. The limestone which
composes the river bed is full of open
ings below the bridge, and the stream
is probably lost forever.
