four years. during which time 1t has been in con-
slant use, being erected upon many thousands of
private and public buildings in all sections of the
country and although there have fallen upon 1t, il
numerous instances, most terrific discharges Of
electricity, yet in instance 1t failed conduct
them harmlessly to the earth, thus saving many
lives, and property of almost incalculable value.

Our Railroads.

The marvellous growth of tho American
railroad system is again brought to mind by
tho early sheets Of Poor Manuel for
1881 which reveals somc astounding and
many curious facts. 1t brings down the
statistics 10 the end of 1881.
The rairoad mileage of this country on
January I. 1881, amounted to 03,G71, Of
which I'LL miles were constructed dur
ing the past year, rs against 2,67l for the
year 1870 and 2,G07 miles for the year
1878
80 other single circumstance could be
cited which would illustrate SO pointclIy
the renewed activity aud high prosperity OF
the past year. The continuation of ihc
same conditions during the present year
make ii certain that the length o: tho
railroads in this country at the end Of ,liy
year will reach around 100000 miles
The combined capital stock and debts Of
lie railroad companies, representing nom
inai Investment and value, amount to owe,
$5,00U. U.OD0, 900, or two and half times
as much as the present. pational dcb.
The earnings of the railroads during tho
past year were not less remarkable tha.l
their extension and progress. Their gros
receipts amounted to 100000 GOO il
1880, as osains, s520,0O0 0J0 in 1879

Going Up and Coming Down.

This is o simple gong, 'tis truc--
My i6ongs arc never over. mice;
Aud yet I'll try aud scatter through
Alittlo pinch Of good ndvico.
Then listen, pompous friend, and learn
Mover to boast Of much renown;
For fortunes wheel is on the turn
Aad some go up and some 90 down.
Isknow q vast amount of stocks
A vast amount of pride iusures;
But fate has picked SO many locks,
Iwouldn't like to warrant yours.
Remember, then, aud never spurn
Tho ono whose hand is hard aud brown;
For ho is likely to 20 up,
And you a:o likely to como down.
Another thing, you will agree
Tho truth may as we'll bo confessed
That "Cod fish arstooraoy''
Is but scaly thing at bcst:---
And though the fish is large and strong
May seek tho lttlo ones to drown,
Yet fishes all, both great and small,
Are coming up and going down
Our lives arc full Of chance and change,
Ano chango, you Know, IS never sure;
And 'twero doctrine now and strange,
Thot places high arc most secure,
And though the tickle god may smile,
And yield the sceptre aud the crown,
'Tis only for u little while
That B goes up and A comes down.
This world for you and ne, my friend,
Hath something more than pounds an;
pence;
Then let mo humbly recommend
A little uso Of common sense.
Thus 10y all prido and place aside,
And havo care on whom you frowD,
For fear you'll see him going up
When you arc only coming down.
