In an address before the American In
stitute of Mining Engineers, Mr.. Hewett
discussed the iron question. His figures
and statistics of the business are interest
ing. He said in 1856 the annual produc
ton of iron had reached about 1000, 900
Of tons, of which Great Britain produced
100000 tons, and the United States
about 10000 900. The consumption of
Great Britain was IA pounds and of
the United States 81 pounds, while the
average consumption of the world was
only II pounds, per head, of population.
1t was shown that the consumption per
head was steadily on the increase, and
that consequently the annual production
was charging so rapidly as to double
once in IA years and it was predicted,
after making due allowances for all draw
backs. such as the wars which have I'M
happily taken place in the interval be-
yond any possible expectation, that in
1875 the production of iron would surely
reach IA, 100000 tons. The actual re-
turns show that in 1871 the production
amounted to 10, 800, 600 tons, andin 1879,
the limit IA, 600, 900 will undoubtedly be
passed., that the estimate made in 1856
is more than realized. Meanwhile the
has risen in England to 200
pounds, in the United States to $50
pounds, and in the whole world to 80
pounds per head This demand will re-
quire $4,000, 600 tons annually more than
Great Britain can supply. The history
of the trade, as well as the natural re
sources of the several nationalities, prove
that the bulk of this additional product
can only be made in the United States
We are, in fact, the only people who have
kept pace with Great Britain in the ratio
of increase. In 1855, when Great Britain
produced 100000 tons, we produced
1000, 900. In 1872, when Great Britain
will produce 100000 we produce q
600, 000-the quantity produced in Great
Britain in 1S47 showing that we are only
25 years in arrear of her magnificent pro-
duction. At the same rate, therefore,
we could make 100000 tons in 1897.
But as Great Britain cannot possibly
maintain her rate of increase, there does
not seem room for doubt that our an
nual production will reach at least TO-
600, 900 before the close OF the present
century. This means that $4,000, 600 to
40, 600, 600 tons of iron ore shall be an
nually extracted from our mines. 1t
means that an investment of capital to
the amount of $500, 0O0 900 at least, and
probably ST., 900, 900, 900 shall be made in
opening mines, erecting works and sup
plying the requisite machinery of pro-
duction. New York is already the fnan-
cial centre of the American Continent,
and is destined to be the main distrbu-
tor of capital for the world. This vast
sum of money will therefore be drawn
from the accumulations of capital con-
trolled in New York, and its productive
results will depend mainly upon the
judgment and skill displayed In its ex-
penditure.

She came back laughing, holding lit

''Who be they for, Nellieg" cried the
farmer "Come, let's hear ?''
So she began to read the address, de

They tell me am shrewd with~ether men;
With thee I'm slow and difficult OF speech
With others may guide the car of talk;
Thou wing it oft to realms beyond my reach.
If other guests should come, I'd deck my hair
And choose my newest garments from the shelf:
When thou arr hidden, would clothe my heart
With hottest purposes, as for God himself
For them while the hours with tale or song,
OR web offancy, fringed with careless rhyme
But how to find fitting lay for thee,
Who hast the harmonies OF every time?
0 friend beloved! I set apart and dumb @
Sometimes in sorrow, oft in JOY divine:
My lip will falter, but my prisoned heart
Springs forth to measure its faint pulse with
thine.
Thou art to me most like royal guest,
Whose travels bring him to some lowly roof,
Where simple rustics spread their festal fare
And, blushing, own tits not good enough.
Bethink thee, then, wheneer thou comst to me
From high emprise and noble toll to rest,
My thoughts are weak are trivial, matched with
thine
But the poor mansion offers thee its best.

SWEEP BEFORE YOUR OWN DOOR.


Do WE heed the homely adage handed down
ssEre Won sweep your neighbours Dwelling,
clear the rubbish from your door;
Let no filth, no rust there gather, leave no
traces Of decay,
Pluck up every weed unsightly, brush the
fallen leaves away
IF we faithfully have labored thus to sweep
without, within,
PIucked up envy, evil speaking, malice, each
be-settng sin
Weeds that by the sacred portal OF the inner
Poison Weeds the heart defiling, bearing bit
terness and woe;
Theb, perchance, we may have leisure Ger
our neighbors watch to keep
All the work assigned US finished, we before
his door may sweep;
Show him where the moss IS cllnglnS-COken
ever of decay
Where the thistes, thickly springing, daily
must be cleared away.
But, alas our work neglecting, oft we mount
the Judgment seat,
With his tallings, his omissions, we our weary
brother greet
In some hidden nook forgotten, searching
with careful eye,
We the springlng weeds Giscover-some
slight blemish there descry.
For his slothfulness, his blindness, we our
brother harshly chide,
Glorying in our strength and wisdom, we
condemn him in our pride.
Ask not why he has neglected, thus before his
door to sweep;
Why grown careless, he has slumbered, failed
his garden plot to keep. eE|a4
On the Judgment seat still sitting we nc
helping hand extend
To assist our weaker brother, his shortcom
ings to amend
For his WEAKNESS, his falteripg, we no sweet
compassion show a r.
From our store no cordial bring him, no en-
couragement bestoW.
But, while busted with our neighbor, urging
him to ceaseless care,
Calling to the thoughtless tillers, to theil
labor to repair -l
10 unseen the dust has gathered, weeds are
growing where of yore
Flowers rare and sweet were blooming WheT
we swept before our door
All how easy DER our brother faithful WARD

But, alas before our dwelling hard indeed tC

Dare to turn aside sins cup,

CHAPTER III,

The year passed swiftly by. Spring
deepened into summer, summer into au
tumn, and autumn into the bleak barren
nees Of winter; and Nellie began to note
the dwindling weeks, and count how
many Of them yet remained before the
Christmas time should come round again
To count them with bashful, tremu-
lous joy, for Christmas was fixed upon as
the day when she should give herself to
Austin Clyde, and become the wife Of
her handsome gentleman lover.
Some one else counted them too.
That was Salem Bretherton and his
face grew paler, and his manner more
melancholy, as the days slipped by,
bringing nearer and nearer the time when
Nellie would be lost to him forever.
He was so palpabiy wretched, thai ev.
en- Nellie, in the midst Of her happiness
and gratifed vanity, and the hustle Of
her approaching marriage, found time to
pity him and many O. tear did she shed
in secret over the woes Of her old friend
and companion.
So the Christmas week came round.
The wedding cake was baked, the bri,
dial dress finished, and Nellie fitted
about, busy with household mysteries
and brimful of joy, while Austin Clyde
played the devoted lover, to the admira-
ton of the whole village
1.-TWO days to the wedding" murmured
Salem, as he stood in the farm yard, in
the gray evening, listening to the voices
of the lovers, as they talked and laughed
gaily, while decorating the great kitchen
with holly and mistletoe 1.-TWO DAYS,
and then it will be all over. I've hall a
MUD to start for Ameriky;I don't think
can bear to stay here, and watch this
happiness. "
There was sound Of many voices in
the laRe, and presently one OF the farm
lahorers came up with white face.
Salem" he cried in au awe stricken
voice, there have been an accident this
evening. The master have been and
fallen from the wagon; the horses stun
bled on the slippery road, and-and he
fell on his head, aud have never spoke
since ~
Hush y answered h" Salem she's in
there she musn't learn it sudden, like.
Tell me the rest, but speak low"
"The doctors with him, but he SAYS it
is of no use--it is of no use-the farmer
be dead !"
There was a sobbing cry fir en- the door
way; and, looking back, Salem saw Nellie
standing there. III
She had heard all.
He sprang towards her.
Go in; go to your room, Nellie he
said, trying to take her hand. But she
turned from him, and held out her arms
to Austin Clyde,crying, In all the world,
have no one left but you I" And Salem
turned sadly away, to meet the men who
were bringing home old Jabez May.
So the wedding. cake was forgotten, the
bridal dress laid aside; and the old woman,
whe came from the village to watch by
the dead, removed the green holly from
the walls, and drew down the blinds, and
the old farm looked as grey and gloomy
as it had week before appeared bright
and happy. m a IS
As for Austin Clyde, he was more de-
voted to Nellie than ever; and though of
course, the death. of her uncle rendered
it necessary to postpone the marriage, he
began to assume the airs of a master, and
to talk of the farm as though it already
belonged to him.

Breakfast was taken, and the farmer
had departed to the field but Salem had
not again made his appearance.

The Coliseum Building Blown
Down.

=, Boston, 26. About quarter before o'clock
the evening, people in the various parts of
the city were startled by hearing what
sound d like peal of thunder, coming from
the southwest People living in the vicinity
OF the the Coliseum for the coming Jubilee
were quickly made aware of the solution, as
gigantic trusses and towers of the building
were Frustrated in mass of ruins. The
report of the terrible crash was heard for
miles. One of the end towers had reached
the height of ITO feet, and the truss des-
troyed was l40 feet high, and had clear
span Of 300 feet, nearly $4,000 feet of lum-
Der having been used in its construction.
The wind had been blowing through the af-
ternoon and about 4 o'clock $50 feet of the
eastern wall was blown down.
The accident will cause only temporary
delay In building operations, A large force
OF men will be set at work in clearing away
the debris, and an increase of workmen will
commence at once to put the structure in
proper shape again. Nearly dozen of the
large trusses are already finished and ready
to be placed in position.
AT meeting Of the executive committee of
the Worlds Peace Jubilee and International
Music Festival, who were in session at the
time of the fall of the coliseum, it was unan-
imously voted that we will commence at once
the reconstruction of the coliseum of the
same dimensions as heretofore contemplated,
and that to this end there be employed such
number of workmen as shall insure COM
pletlon of the building by the 10th of June.

Amongst the symptoms of consumption
which present themselves as the disease pro-
crosses, are cold chills, cough, shortness Of
breath, restlessness at night, loss of appetite,
loss Of flesh, night sweats, hectic expectora-
ton of white mucous, pellets, also yellow and
blush or gray matter, sometimes streaked
with blood; burning pains in the chest, diar-
rhna, general prostration and incapacity for
the ordinary duties of life. As the patti mt
becomes reduced, other complications appear
and he rapidly sinks. A remarkable and
very common physical sign among consump-
tives Is their exemption from alarm; notwitlI-
standing the dangerous character of their
disease they believe in ultimate recovery.
This very confidence prevents the patient
from resorting to the only means of cure,
and that watchfulness necessary in so critical
a time, until finally they lspse into hopeless
recovery. Like the first adventurous boat
man who rowed down from Erie; broad and
smooth was the river, rapid in progress, and
pleasant his anticipations. Alas, the tide
which drifted him so rapidly was one of de-
struction, and when he would retrace his way
he found the current too strong to STEM and
that he drew nearer every instant to the
mighty Niagara. Down. down he was car
ried amidst the seething spray, and with his
bark was dashed to pieces.
The consumptive is admonished to resort
to Fellows Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites, when the first symptom presents itself,
and it is the only sure remedy.
