POETRY.
CONTRAST.

The bells of Lent rang up, rang down,
Through all the babel of the town;
Rang soft, rang clear, rang loud or low,
AS loud OF low March winds did blow.
Through wide e-fiung doors the hurrying
throng
Caught hint of psalm and snatch of
song
The high-strung song of plant and
prayer,
OF cross, and passion, and despair.
One, hurrying by amid the throng,
Who caught the sweetness of the song
Above the turmoil of the street,
Turned suddenly her weary feet,
And through the wide-fiung doors pass
ed in
From out the weekday whirl and din.
aCaIl me away from flesh and sense
Thy grace, o Lord, can draw me
thence"
In fervent tones the singers sang,
While solemnly the organ rang.
.sFrem flesh and sense:" the words
struck clear
Upon the strangers listening ear.
From flesh and sense" she looked
across
The sun-lit aisles, where CLINT and gloss
OF diamond-fre and satin shone-
A princess raiment, that had won
A princes ransom in the past;
Across the aisles, then downward cast
Her seeking glance in bitter heed
OF raiment that scarce met the need
That winter keen and merciless
Brought home to her with savage
stress.
And they, they neither toll nor spin.
These lilies fair, apparelled in
These costly robes, willie others strive,
And mourn to find themselves alive
Beneath the burdens of the day,
That leave small time or need to pray,
s.Call me away from flesh and sense"
When flesh itself seems half drawn
thence.
"For you, for you. o favored ones,
These silken stalls, these organ tones"
Her bitter thought ran, as the prayer
Floated in music on the air.
"For you, for you, this house you call
The house of God; for me the thrall
"Of toll and toll. from day to day,
While life wastes sordidly away
In rainest hope and dull despair
OF some sweet time, when one from care
"May pause and rest little space.
And meet life's bright things face to
face.
But faint of heart, and very low
OF hope and comfort, but know
"In these dark days the needs of earth.
All else seems now of little worth:
And little worth your silken prayer
Against nay wall of dull despair"
mora PERRY, in Harper's Magazine
for May.

Like the Fraud YelIs of 1875.

The Democratic shouts of bargain"
with Malone sound very like their
fraud" yells in 1876, and spring from
similar cause. The Democrats tried
to buy the Presidency in 1876, and fail
ing, began to shout fraud. They tried
to buy Malone this year, and failing
they shout: "He's a bad man, corrupt
man. They Republicans have bought
him." They no longer fool anybody

There is no answer so provoking as
the stereotyed phrase, nothing" What
were you say, my deary" "0h. nothing >
What were you laughing at?" Moth
ing" what are you muttering, sir?''
Nothing" Ard so it goes through a
whole range of bafiled inquiry. When
Jeremiah Mason, the celebrated New
Hampshire lawyer, who was Webster's
master, lay on his death bed he heard
his daughter speaking. He reused up
and inquired, MARY, what did you say ?"
Nothing, papa" she replied. The old
spirit of the examiner awOke in him, ,and
he said, MARY, what words did you use
to say nothing?" Here is an admirable
formula for defeating the answer.

Iron and Steel Industries.

The census bulletin on iron and steel
industries in the United States contains
many exceedingly interesting facts. The
amount of capital employed in these in
dustries in,ISSO is shown to have been
S23O,971,SS4, against S121,772,074 in
1870, an increase of 69.6S per cent. In
1870 there were twenty-five States en-
gagged in the manufacture of iron and
steel. Since then Colorado, Kansas and
Nebraska, and the territories of Utah
and Wyoming for the first time engaged
in it. California and Washington Ter
ritory have made arrangements since
the close of the census year of 1880 to
go into the manufacture of iron. Thir-
ty States, the District of Columbia and
Wyoming Territory were actually max
king iron in 1880: Pennsylvania, which
for over 100 years has been the leading
producing State in. the Union, made
in 1870 a fraction over 80 per cent of the
total iron product, and in 1860 fraction
over 40 per cent. From 1870 to 1880 it
increased its production 90 per cent, or
from l,sS6.sOs TONS to 3.616,66s tons,
while the whole country increased
its production ninety-nine per cent, or
from S,e55.2l5 tons to 7,265,14O tons.
Ohio comes next in rank to Pennsylya-
MIA, producing 449, ,76s tons in 1870 and
$50, ,141 in 1850, an increase of 107 per
cent. New York takes the third place,
but its progress has fallen far below that
of Pennsylvania and Ohio. In 1870 it
produced 44s.257 tons, and in 1880 it
produced 59s,300 tons, an increase of SO
per cent. New Jersey was fourth in
1870. producing 1892 tons, and, though
turning out 243,SOO tons in 1880, its
place was taken by Illinois, which pro-
duced in 1870 only 25,761 tons, but in
1880 produced l17,967, an increase of
1922 per cent. Maryland ranked fifth
in 1870, producing 95,424 tons ir that
year. while in 1880 it produced 11O,934
tons, an increase of only 16 per cent,
causing it to drop to the twelfth place.
The sixth State is Missouri, with pro-
duct of 125,S5s tons in 1880, against a.
800 in 1870. Astonishing progress was
made during the ten years in several
Southern States. West Virginia in
caeased its production from 72,S37 tons
to 147, ,4s7 tons, or 104 per cent, giving it
the seventh place in 1880. Alabama in
creased from 1000 to 62,9s6 TONS. or 1872
per cent; Georgia from 1894 to S5,152
tons, or 265 per cent; Tennessee from
S4,305 to 77,lO0 tons, or 125 per cent;
Kentucky from s6,732 to 12S.75l tons, or
4s per cent; Delaware from s,S07 to
33,Sls tons. or 30s per cent; Virginia
from 1856 to 55.722 tons, or Al per cent.
All the States which mode iron or steel
in 1870 increased their production in
1880 except Maine. North Carolina and
South Carolina.-Iron Age.
