The Advance in Iron.


Some one familiar with the sub
iect says that the advance will en-.
large the present receipts from iron
by from $4,000 to q, 900 day, and
will, under the sliding scale, en,arge
the wages of puddlers and helpers
by from $1,000 to $1,000 q day.
These sums will be easily lost in the
immensely greater ones which the
iron industry employs. They are
less important in themselves than in
what they impart.
The association which agreed to
the advance with practical unahimitY
comprises nearly all the iron masters
west of the Alleghenies. The sweep
of country over which their trade
extends is a vast Que. Their action

After two or three days waiting to

companions captured a picket-boat at
the lower part Of the city, rowed across
the river and into marsh, conceallng
their track by restoring the grass and
weeds to their upright position after the
boat had passed over them. Once In
there they worked their way to the back
river, where they had comparatively
clear track, meeting only occasional pick
et-boats and torpedoes. AT last they
reached Fort Pulaski, garrisoned by the
One Hundred and Forty-fourth New
York, and in command of Lieutenant Col
Onel Hall. Upon being stopped by the
sentry, they explained they were an es-
capped Union prisoner and two Confeder-
ate deserters. Lieutenant-C Colonel Hall
met them at the casemate and put them

SONG OF A KISS.
From the Home journal.

From the Home journal.
I sing of the trembling kiss
OF an enchanted miss.
Oh, life, you've nothing sweeter;
One thrilling little taste
| snatched from her in haste.
All, life, you've nothing tleeter.
From parlor doors above
The bold old god of love,
Swept out by modern fashion,
Still rules on kitchen stairs,
And there caught unawares,
Makes ladies own their passion.
At night on kitchen stair
| met her, then and there
No memory is sweeter.
She struggled first to flee,
Then swiftly turned to me
And kissed me, and kissed her.
Yc artificial throng
Who drive young folks along
Stra;ght-faced and fashion-fettered,
You'll raise your well-bred wal
That this sweet girl should fail
TO stand forever tethered.
Fear nothing for her sake;
We're too well-bred to make
A match through foolish feeling.
HeighO, our triple curse,
High station, meager purse,
And love beyond concealing.
But, oh, begrudge her not
This one sweet in our lot,
Tcnderly, dearly given.
No stain such kisses bear,
She needs no frown or prayer,
For that fond act she's shriven.
The great archangel's pen
Wrote no sin 'Sainst her, when
She kissed in her pure passion.
In heaven hearts are matched,
On earth our fortunes patched,
In both she keeps in fashion.
