July 23d, the rate of iirstclass frcights from
Chicago to New York 900 miles in round
numbers, was 4j cents per hundred, or % cts.
per bushel of sixty pounds. From St Louis
to New York it was 60 cents per hundred, or
"a cents from East st. Louis, which is 324
cents per bushci. II is now midsummer,
when the river, lakes and canals are at their
best condition, and furnish whatever relief
may be expected of them this season, yet such
are the facts at the two leading cities of the
Northwest
This is not singular or unprecedented
state Of things. The Rdiir0ad Gdzctte, of this
city, itself furnishes the figures to show that
from 1864 to 1872 inclusive, the average rate
on fourth class freights has been - cents per
hundred from Chicago to New York, or LA
per ton per mile, or 1872 cents per bushel of
wheat
Mr.. r. II Ferguson, of Troy, in an clabo-
rate address before the National Board of
Trade, last autumn, showed that the average

That is what cheap transportation is MT.
Let us now see what it Is.
The Pennsylvania Company managing a

admits by its own report for 1872 that it has

A Pure Heart.

A. pure heart is a blessing above
all price. 1t gives tone, harmony,
and beauty to life that nothing else
can give. And then it brings man
into such communion with Godsand
divine things. as to make them pres
ent with him. Blessed are the pure
in heart, for they shall see God, says
Jesus. A pure heart rather than a
strong intellect, is the faculty through
which we apprehend the spiritual
truths. It apprehends by sympathy
rather than BY logical movement-it
feels the truth as the seeds feel the
dew and sunlight, or the mercury.
feels the cold and heat, rather than
reasons itself into it. It knows it,,
not Il ii the light. Of solution but in the
feeling Of. oneness and affinity with it. +,
! A pure heart is a good pilot. It
keeps a man out of all mischief, and,
so out of all inward .misery and re-,
morse.4tgIt steers him clear Of break

and poetry to all his motions. It
puts beautiful pictures in the eyes,

delight and glory,- For !. to the pure
all things are pure. It exhales it's
own fragrance through every fuuc.'

redolent of grace as well as muscular
strength. It chases all fear out. of a,
man, and makes him bold, brave,
true. It is calm and poised n>great
trust, for it sees" and therefore has
knowledge. It's a law to itself and
d light to itself. 1t is the joy OF all

life, and perfect life is perfect peace.
First pure, then peaceable. It-keeps
a man from collision with, ,consci ence,
Christ, and God, and. makes his life.
