Of fifty passengers allowed to be carried.
Nor was there any discipline on the

the effect Of waking up some OF the SUI

The Age of Iron.
AN OBSERVER

One of the most interesting features of mod
ern civilization, is the extended and extending
use of iron. So general and necessary has be-
come its use and application in all the depart
ments of art and industry, which contribute to
the wealth and power of communities, that it is
almost accepted as an adage, that a nations pow
er and Importance is estimated by the amount
Of her iron and coal production. Coal is the
hand-maiden Of iron, and by most gracious
provision of the God of Nature, they are gen.
orally found in proximity. To this fact more
than any other is due, the immense advance in
Invention and the arts Of commerce ard civili-
cation, which has distinguished the past CEN
tury. 1t the question were asked, what is the
source of England's giant power among the
nations, the only correct answer would be her
coal and iron production. 1t is true her i'm
mense population, her magnificent navy and
marine, her splendid literature, and other causes
contribute to her power and glory, but back of
all these We are compelled to remark that her
coal and iron production, supports that popula-
ton, fosters her agriculture, spreads the sails of
her commerce, and in fine furnishes the basis
upon which her splendid civilization is con-
structe6.
All OF this being granted, what must be the
power, wealth and spendor Of our American
nation, when her resources begin to be develop
ed. We say begin because as yet their vastness
and extent have hardly been recognized.
The demand for iron is now so great, that
the prices have nearly doubled within a year.
Its uses are becoming SO varied and extensive
With the progress Of the arts and civilization,
that the evidences all point to increased profits
for its manufacturers, in spite of the immensely
increasing production. Within comparatively
a few years past, it has entered largely into use
IN architecture and naval construction, while for
the immense amount of bridge building which
| our railroad system demand, it is regarded as
an Indispensable; and its use for these purposes
is rapidly extending. It will in the future large
ly displaoe brick and granite in the construction
Of our more colossal buildings, while in the
fabrication of the varied classes and descriptions
of powerful machinery, which is SO rapidly re-
placing the slower and more painful processes
Of manual and brute labor, its use and applica-
ton will be almost indefinite Petersburg Ap-
peal.

Enoch Arden: Boiled Down.

Philip Ray and Enoch Arden
Both were spoons on Annie Lee!
Phil did not fulfill her notions,
She preferred to mate with E.
Him she welded, and she bore him
Pretty little children three;
But becoming short Of rhino.
Enoch went away to sea.
Leaving Mrs. Arden owner
OF we'll stocked village shop,
Selling butter, soap, and treacle,
Beeswax, whipcord, lollipop.
Ten long years she waited for him,
But he neither came nor wrote,
Wherefore, she concluded Enoch
Could no longer be afoat.
So when Philip came to ask her
If she would be Mrs. Ray,
She. believing she was widow'd,
Could not say to her sutton may"
And a second time was married,
Gave up selling bread and cheese,
And in due time Philip nursed
Little Ray upon his knees.
But alas the long lost Enoch
Turn'd up unexpectedly,
And was vastly Disconnected
By this act of biga-my.
Yet rejecting on the subject,
He determined to atone
For his heightened absence from her
By just leaving well alone.
Taking to his bed, he dwindled
Down to something like shade,
Settled with his good landlady,
Next the debt of nature paid.
Then, when both the Rays discovered
How poor Enoch's life had ended,
They came out in handsome style, and
Gave his corpse a funral splendid.
This is all know about it;
IF it's not sufficient, write
By next mail to Alfred Tenny-
Son, P. L., the Isle of Wight.
