CURIoUS FRA TgREg. IN rHE fR0E

The iron trade Just now presents some
remarkable phases. There are at pres
ent in this country agents Of an English
house who offer to deliver in Pittsburg
sixteen thosand tons ef ore from Ager-
ia, at prices quite moderate. At the
figures named the ore would not cost
more than Lake Superior ore at the
prices spoken Of for next season Ores
are also offering from Nova Scotia at
figures still less than the African ore.
These ores are warranted to Yield sixty
two per cent for iron. Should Superior
ores continue 10 advance, the foreign
product viii at once come in competi-
ton with them. Ii is remarkable that
these ores can be carried such long dis
tances by water, aud then frcighted

The hills Of Western Pennsylvania and
West Virginia are rich in iron ores, OF

the Superior region, but which. consid-
ering the difference IN cost. mus soor

HEAVEN

Many curious speculations have been
indulged regarding the exit of the Il
of a righteous man-how il plsses
through the air and ethereal regions;
and how, leaving stars and systems be
hind, it scars with strong, swift pinion
into the august presence of Diety. Such
speeulations are far more inquisitive
than Important The fact that the holy
soul is Immediately transferred to the
highest heavens is infinitely more inter
esting and consolatory than the method
of its transmission It has no " success
sive ascensions, ever changing its home,
and therefore never at home: rising
from one height of glory and blessed
ness to another still higher, only that
each height may be gained and LEFT be-
hind. Scarcely has death broken down
" the middle wall of partition, scarce
~ has he lifted the vail, when a bound
less territory of brightness and Joy
stretches our before the naked spirit.
Not sand has time to fall. One step,
and the soul is in glory. The fight
through the immensity is made . in the
twinkhng of an eye :" the pilgrimage 10
the spheres occupies but a moment
There is no waiting for a celestial con-
voy. A troop of angelic beings, unseen
crowd the chamber of death, and are
ready with outstretched wing to bear
the spirit home to GOd; the last quiver
gasped from the bloodless lip, the last
sigh breathed out, and, swifter than the
beams of the morning, or the flash of
lightning, they tower with it to glory.
The beggRr was borne to Abraham's
bosom by swift-winged angels. The
dying felon had scarcely groaned his
last on Calvary when he opened his
eyes in Paradise. He passed direct
from cross to throne-from eonsuIn
mate ignominy to celestial honor. Ere
his dying vail had spent itself, he had
began the song of immortality; ere his
mangled frame was cold aud stiff in
death, his feet had trod the crystal
pavement of 1.-THE holy city," and his
fingers had struck celestial notes from a
golden Tyre.
80, change Oh, wonderous change.
Burst are the prison hars:
THIS moment there-sO low,
\, agunized-and now
Beyond the stars
O.i, changel stupendons change.
There lies the soulless cloud:
The sun eternal breaks;
The new immortal wakes
Wakes with God"
One would imagine that on being SO
suddenly ushered into the infinite sub
limities of new and glorious world
the soul would be overwhelmed, nay,
annihilated. Great excitement has
sometimes driven reason from her
throne, and burst the rejoicing heart,
and verify the Joy and splendor of that
moment is more than enough to con.
| found the bravest and holiest spirit.
But no: He who has protected it from
all evil also shields when embodied
amid the opulence and celestial glory
so that it feels serenely calm and per
fectly at ease the moment it crosses tn,
threshold of its heavenly home, and it
encompassed by the stupendous realitiei
of an internal condition.

cURfoUS STA rLsrfoS OF H4RRiAGE


To people of statistical rather than
a sentimental turn, the mathematics OF
marriage in different countries may
prove an attractive theme Of meditatiol.
1t is found that young men from fifteen
to twenty years of age marry young
women averaging two or three years
older than themselves, but if they de-
lay marriage until they are twenty to
twenty-five years old, their spouses
average year younger than themselves;
and thenceforward this difference stead
lily increases, all IN extreme cid age
on the hridegroom's part it is apt to be
enormous. The inclination of octogen-
arians TO we'd misses in their teens is an
everyday occurrence, but it IS amusing
To find IN the love-matches of boys that
the statistics bear out the satines OF
Thackeray aDa Balzac. Again, the hus-
bands of young women aged twenty and
under average little above twenty-five
years, and the inequality of age dimin-
ishes thenceforward, till for women who
have reached thirty the respective ages
asAtNA NV fNttAe.f Ne-ASA-s
like men, marry those younger than
themselves, the disproportion increasing
with age, till at forty-five it averages
nine years.
The greatest number of marriages for
men take place between the ages of
twenty and twenty-five In England, be-
tween twenty-five and thirty in France,
and between twenty-five and thirty-five
in Italy aud Belgium. Finally, in
Hungary the number of individuals
who marry is ~ in a thousand each
year; in England, it is 81; in Denmark,
SO; in France, 81, the city of Paris
showing 53; IN the Netherlands, 50; IN
Belgium, 43; in Norway, 36. widowers
indulge in second marriages three or
four times as often as widows. For ex-
ample, in England 0and of Mrs. Bar

ers against u of widows. IN Belgium

PENNY MICROSCOPE


An abscure Enghshman has antici-
pated Yankee genius in cheapening this
beautiful and useful instrument for
the benefit of the million. There is Is
man who sometimes stands in Leicester
Square, London, who sells microscopes
at penny each. They are made of a
common pill-box, the bottom taken out
and piece of window glass substituted.
A small eve hole is bored in the lid, and
thereon is placed the lens, the whole
apparatus being painted black. These
microscopes are fully as effective as
much more costly instruments sold in
the shops. An eminent microscOpist,
who examined some of them, found that
their magnifying power was twenty
diameters. The cost of lens made OF
glass of such RspOsyer would be seventy
Ave cents or a dollar. On cutting one
of them in two, it appears that the lens
was Canada baIsam, a transparent gum.
The balsam had been heated, and care
fully dropped into the eye-hole Of the
pill-box. It then assumed the proper
size, shape and transparency and polish
of a very well-ground glass lens The
ingenious microseopist has made and
sold these cheap little instruments for
fifteen years.

NOW


by CHARLES AlAcKAY. -4f
The venerable Past is past:
'Tis dark, and shines not in the way
Twas good, no doubt-tis gone at last
There dawns another day.
Why should we sit where ivies creep,
And shroud ourselves in charnels deep,
Or the worlds yesterdays depore
Mid crumbling ruins mOssy hoar;
Why should we see with dead mems eyes,
Looking at Was from morn 10 night,
When the beauteous Now, the divine To BE,
Woo with their charms our living sight? -
Why should we hear but echoes dun
When the world Of sound so beautiful,
VIII give US music Of our own? o. -f
Why in the darkness should we grope,
When the sun, in heavens resplendeut cope,
Shines as bright as it ever shone?
The Present needs ua. Every age
Bequeaths the next for heritage,
No lazy luxury delight,
But strenuous labor for the right;
For Now, the child and sire Of Time,
Demands the deeds OF earnest men
To make il better than the past,
And stretch the circle Of its ken,
Now is a fact that men deplore,
Though it might bless them everunore;
Would they but fashion it Alright,
Tris ever new, tits ever bright,
Time nor eternity hath seen
Alrepetition Of delight
In all its phases; ne'er hath been
For men or angels that which 81;
And that which 1t hath ceased 20 be
Ere we have breathed it, and its place
II lost in the eternity.
But Now is ever good and fair,
Of the Inhnitude the heir,
And We Of It. 50 let live
That from the Past we may receive
Light for the NOw-frum Now joy
That fate nor Time shall ne'er destroy.

SOCTETY MATTERS.
INVITATIONS. ETC.


Those who contemplate meeting their
friends, giving a party, or having
a. gathering, as it is variously donomi-
mated in different sections of this great
and glorious land, /" will do we'll to read
the following latest styles of invitations.
etc:
Skeleton script. like the long, angular
handwriting now affected by ladies', is
the fashionable engraving for invitations
and visiting cards. There is a revived
fancy for the menograms that fell into
disfavor this season; these are now made
in characters tomntch the engraving and
are very large and intricate; white mono
grams are used for wedding invitations.
The note sheet for invitations is very
large and almost square. Tying the
cards of the bride and groom together
is also in vogue again. All abbrevis-
tions and figures in invitations are con-
sidered inelegant. The invitation form
ulas most approved at present omit ''At
Home" Compliments of, etc, and
merely say, Mr. end Mrs. Smith de-
sire the pleasure of Miss Browns COM
pany." Wedding receptions now usual
ly have a German at the close of the
evening, and this is announced by the
word German" in the corner of the
invitation sheet. Visiting cards are Of
unglazed Bristol board, are quite small,
and are placed in an envelope when
handed 10 the servant at the door,
Small beaded envelopes are used for
this purpose. The fashionable station
ers shows fifteen OF twenty varieties Of
tinted note paper of The faintest possi-
BILE hnes. Large square envelopes are
used, and the note sheet is merely dou-
bled when placed inside.
