rhe Btssemer Steel Works of A. Meirer y

extensive affair. The capital of the company
is one million dollars. The works embraces
one hundred acres of land. with frontage on
the rives OIL, 1871, feet: Thenswill be TWO blast
furnaces, each sixty feet 10 height, seventeen
feet at boshes and thirteen feet tunnel head
The East St. Louis and Carondelet Railroad
runs through the property, also barrow gauge
road to Cairo and the Big Muddy coal fields.
The works are expected to be in operation early
10 1878, and will employ two hundred aud hi'y
hands. Why i, it that with all the advantages
possessed by Alexandria, and with iuexhaust-
ible beds of iron ore within almost a stone
throw, we cannot have Iron Works here :! We
are confident that if the experiment were made,
it would prove, not only great benefit to the
city, but OF great profit to those who "ou'o

Why DO the ladies of or land

That they AT" M de to FL the house,
Not run, and romp and play?
Why not be gentle and be mild,
As iii the days of old,
1nste nd of feirg everywhere
So boyish and so bold?
Why not await at home and see
The men-they'll surely call
Instead of running after them,
With halloo, whoop and squall?
Why not prepare for walk or drive,
In dresses ard with grace,
lnstes of overskirts and such
All drawn and tucked in place?
Why not be courteous and be kind
To those you meet aud know;
y OF smiling on each one GU see,
AS /. he charmed you so?
Why ladies', then engage yourselves
In some more useful way
Than thinking 0: the love-sick men,
Whose hearts you've borne away.
Then glide along as quietly
As goddesses of yore,
Instead of trying to outstrip
BY stamping on the floor.
In fine, then. be good and polite,
As ladies ought to be,
And I'll insure you beaux to have
Before you re twcntythreo. 8.
