THEIR FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS AS AN IN-VESTMENT. The rapid progress of the Union Pacific Rail road, ..now builzlMg west from Omaha, Nebraska, and forming, with its western connections, an unbroken line across the continent, attracts at tention to the value of the First Mortgage Bonds wiz lett the Company now offer to the public. The first question asked by prudent investors is, "Are these bonds secure'!" Next, " A.rethey a profit able investment?" To reply in brief: Ist. The early completion 01 the- whole great line to the Puerile 18 HS Certain as any future busi ness event can be. The Government grant of over twenty mi tliou acres of land and tiny mil lion dollars in its own bonds practically guaran tees it. One fourth of the work is already done, and the track continues to be Isid et the rate of two miles a day. 2,1. The Union Pacilic Padiroad bonds are issu ed upon what promises to be 0110 of the most Profitable lines of railroad is the country. For many years It must be the only Bile connecting, the Atlantic and pacific; and being without com petition, It 111111 . 11 tabu remunerative rates. ad. 325 miles oC tills road are finished, and fully equipped with depots, locomotives, ears, Sc., and two tracts are daily running,eachavay. The ma terials for the remaining milt's to the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains are on hand, and it is under contract to be done in September. 4th. The net earnings of the sections already finished are Bf:cent! ttutex !muter than tile geld In terest upon the First Mortgage Bonds upon such sections, and if not another mile of the road were built, the part already completed would not only pay interest and expenses, but be profitable to the COW pally. JAIL The Union Pacific Railroad bonds Can be issued Only 115 the road progresses, and therefore can never be in the market unless they repre sent a bona tidC propel ty, 11th . Ten' amount is strictly - limited by law to a sum equal to what is granted by the U.S. Gov ernment, and for which it lakes a eceozid lien 118 its security, This amount upon the first 517 miles west from Omaha is only ;la,ooo per mile. 7th. The fact that the U. S. Government con siders a second lien upon the road a good invest ment, rind that some of the shrewdest railroad builders of tile country have already paid In five million dollars upon the stock (which is to them a third lien,) may well inspire confidence 11l nrst lien. Sib. Although it is not claimed that there can be any better securities than Governments, there ate parties who eon , ider a nrst mortgage upon such a property ns this the very best security in the world, and whin sell their Governments to re invest In these bonds—thus securing a greater Interest. 9th. As the Union Pacific Railroad bonds are offered for the present at 90 cents on the dollar and (Learned Interest, they are the ellen pest secur ity In the market, being more than 15 per cent. le'.s than U.

RIFLE PUVS AT ViCKSBURG. Among the many touching incidents of the war, which have been faithfully re corded iu Mrs. Hoge's excellent volume, entitled " The Boys in Blue," we select the following, relating to the feelings which animated the common soldiers in that great struggle. We do not select it because it is the best, for the book is full of narratives 'of scenes which do great credit to the rank and file of the army. The crowning interest of my Vicksburg trip, was my visit to the rifle-pits, where I stood beside the brave men holding them. looked through the loopholes of the earth works, nod, like every other civilian, im agined I barely escaped with my life, as I heard the whizzing minies, speeding a few inches above my head—the rebel salute for temerity and curiosity. The intense excitement of the position; the manly, cheerful bearing of the men amid their hardships, the screaming of shells through the trees, the booming of the heavy mor tars, over and anon throwing their huge balls into the city, and the picturesque panorama of the a may, with its white tents nestling in the ravines, obliterated all sense of personal danger and fatigue, and made- even the stifling heat of the rifle-pits endurable. The soldiers f liked of the rebels as prisoners they were guard ing. and trea . d suggestions as to John- suites juncion with Pemberton, with scornful dmision ; saying., " the boys in the rear could whip Johnston without those in the front knowing it ; and the boys in the front• could take. Vicksburg without disturbing those in the rear." After leaving the topmost ledge of rifle. pits, I descended to the second liue, wh-re the sound of singing-reached me; I turn ed in the-direction morn whence it, came, and a few steps brought me to ,a litter of 1u2.1405; pn which 4 . 1 y a gray-hepert veter an, face downwards, with a comrade on either side. Tl;ey did not pereeive me, but sang on to the closing line of the verse : 11.15 M .:3z,•• P. 3I J 1.50 A. M. " S.t 5 "Come, bumble sinner, in whose breast A thousand thoughts revolve, • Come with-thy sins and fears oppressed, And make this last resolve." I joined in the second verse : MUER " 1 - 11 go to Jesus, though my sins Have Ilke a mountain rose; hnow His courts, rn enter in, Whatever may oppose." In au instant each man. turned, and would have stopped, but I sang on with humid eyes, and they continued. At e close of the hymn, one exclaimed," Why, ma'am, where did ~u conic from ? Did you drop from heaven into these rifle-pits? You are the first lady we have ever seen here," and then his voice was full of tears. I answered, " I have conic from your friends at home to see and comfort you, and 4ring words of lov , - and gratitude ; I have conic to firing part of the rleld we owe you, and long to pity, but coantd. I've conic to see if the good things sent from home reach you. [ dare not go home without seeing and hearing you, else would I be scorned by all the loyal women." Do they think so much of us as that ?" he asked. " Why, boys, we can fight another year on that, can't we?" " Yes ! yes !" they cried, and almost every baud was raised to brush away a car. "Boys," I said, " the women at home don't think of much beside the soldiers. If they meet to sew, 'tis for you ; if they have a good time, 'tis to gather money fur the Sanitary Commission; if they meet to pray, 'tis for the brave Union Army, and the men in the rifle-pits of Vicksburg. Even the little children, as they kneel at their mother's knees to lisp their nightly prayers, say, God bless the soldiers.'" A crowd of eager listeners had gather ed front their hiding-places. Instead of cheers, as usual, I could hear an occasion al :igh, and flu'/ the solemn silence.. The gray-haired soldier drew from his breast pocket a daguerreotype, and said, •' Here a:e toy with and daughtem. L think any r ..n might be proud of them, and they all work for the soldiers." Then each man drew forth the inevitable &gum reo ;ype, and held it for me to look at, while his eyes beamed with pride and affection. There were aged mothers, and sober ma trons, bright-eyed maidens and laughing cherubs, till carried next those brave hearts, and cherished as life it:elf. Bless ed art. -It was part of God's preparation work for this long, cruel war. These mute memorials 'of home and its lo cd ones, have proved the talisman of many a , tempted soul, and the solace of thousands of weary, suffering veterans. had much work for the day, and pre pared to leave. E. said. "Brave men, fare well. When Igo home I'll tell them that men that neve: flinch before a foe, sing hymns of praise in the rifle-pits of Vick- burg. I'll tell them that eyes that never weep for thcir own sufTering,overflow at the name of• wile and mother, and at the pic ture; 'of wife and children.

Such rever ence had our soldiers for true-hearted, .upright women. Wily so few Marriages. Immediately following the war there was an unusual number of marriages in every portion of the country. For a little time it scented probable that all tbe eli:tible candidates for matrimonial honors would be taken up. The contagion con tinued for a little time, and then passed away as suddenly as it eame. Fora year and a half there have been few marriages, and during the past four months the number has been smaller than at any time within memory. There is a dearth of Marriages that can not be mv,ily account ed Mr. On every band we encounter single young men and women. All the watering places are filled with thew. The stores and shops count them by thousands. They are found traveling, or lounging, or doing little or nothing, all over the land. In fact, it seems as if the single indi• vidnals far outnumbered the married, and that among mcn and women of a mar- riageolde ;Igo_ An examination into the causes of this falling off in matrimonial alliances prezents some facts of a sad and slartlina character. They call for plain words. Doubtless the one universal, primal anti all powerful reason why there are so few marriages has to do with questions of living and sustenuhee. In the old time young tuen and women did riot shrink from sacrifices in startin , life together, and were happy it creating a common home from humble beginnings. Now a tide of wealth has poured over the country, making artificial d ist: notions, developing unnatural tastes. and throw ing around the be : society the iron Lam . ; of aristocratic cruelty. Young men and women love as of old, but they do not dare to marry. If the young lady happens to have abundant means, the young man is too proud to mArry until he call match it with his own abundance. if both are poor absurd aunts and gossiping advisors tell thew they arc silly to marry till a sufficient competence has been obtained. Croakers sing their old songs about the nonseuses of love in a cottage with a leaky roof. And so the tide sets against marriage from the most shallow reasons— teasons founded upon social cowardice and tremulous fear of demure relatives and advisers. Many a time have we heard this subject discussed by young men and women. The latter are almost invariably sensible in regard to it, and are generally quite willing to leave elog,ant homes_tojoin with atother who may be in the receipt of but a moderate incon.e. But the young, men are so proud. or so cowardly, or so carri ed away with "advice" front somebody or other, thaj they are almost all unwilling to accep the extra labor required, to support iro. Tliey are fur , far 'behind the young wouien in this respect. It is now and then we finch a young lady so erherial and aristocratic and so much a slave to the ideas and edicts of society -It she asks her lover to wait until lie is ric But every day and hour, and on every street, and in every hoyse, we find a young, strong.handed, capable young man, waiting for something to happen to wake him rich and able to set up an establishment. They are too cowardly and lazy—that is the secret of the matter. A sadder reason than those already given is found in the thet that in so much Parisian life, so many Parisian ideas have come in upon us. It is a sad thought indeed, that New York today is more wicked than London, and is second only to Paris. We need not speak of details. Enough to know that not only in this city hut in every city and town in the land, there is a devastating, terrific scourge at work, blasting the brightest talent; eclipsing the fondest hopes. Societies are at work to stay the tide ; indivhluals are struggling against it. but to little or no purpose. y The cloud rests down upon the young men td* the land with ever increasing weight. Itwill.tuiu the na tion if the heaven-born institution of marriage i^ not respethed, uiorc. sought after, and more encouraged by old and young. Every man and' every woman who cares for love and purity and borne will do all in their power to add to, and not discourage inclinations to matrimony. We feel quite sure that many good peo ple are doing injury which they would not dare to contemplate. We surely do not believe that all the world is a den of iniquity, but the chances of ruia are terrific, it lute and inclination to marriage are not encouraged. Better a thousand times take the risk of going without ele gant quarters and of making many sacri fices than to hazard evils which are so sadly common.

Romantic Episode of Real Lire- From Penury to Wealth. Most, if not nearly all, of our citizens noticed a dilapidated vehicle, somewhat resembling 'a circus wagon, located Ou vacant lot ou North Main street, in which resid an old and proverty-stricken man. Some time in the spring the wagon,propell ed by a couple of attenuated horses, arriv ed in this city, and the old man pitched Lis tent in the place mentioned, where, through the charity of the owners, he has since been permitted to dwell. Mere lie has lived ever since, eking out an exis tence by the donations of our benevolent citizens, he having disposed of his horses for a small sum. Yesterday, F. S: Murphy, Esq.. one of our prominent lawyers, received a call From a Scotch gentleman named McGregor, who, after a long and weary search, had round the individual whom we have thus described, and whom he identifies as the youngest so of the Earl of- Clanricarde, one of :he wealth iest and most influential noblemen in Scotland. The story related by Mr. McGregor is almost marvelous in its details, and would furnish the materials for a first-clan; three volume novel. Sonic forty years since, the poor old man who has attracted the compassion of our citizens was a dashinc: and stylish officer iu the Life Guards; becoming enamored of a beautiful girl of humble origin, he married her in opposi tion to the commands of his pround father and remonstrances of his equally .proud elder brother. Being disinherited, and thrown upon the world, he sold his com mission, and with his with came to this country. After fire years of vicissitudes upon a rugged farm in the Western wilds, his wife died, and, broken in spirits and sore in heart, he telinquished his claim and roamed without aim or purpose over the country.

By the death of his elder brother, which occurred about four months since, he has become the possessor of estates to the value of three hundred thousand pounds per an num. His good fortune, alas! has coma too late. Prostrate in'mind and enfeebled in body, he cannot realize, nor can he long enjoy, the princely fortune to which he has fallen heir. Yesterday evening., in care of Mr. McGregor, he embarked on the eastern train, en route for hislordly mansion in Inverness, Scotland. Fortune smiled too late I his early love sleeps by La Belie Riviere, and he lives a poor wreck of his former self, too imbecile to heed the frowns or smiles of fortune. Reader.

About four weeks Pinto an old lady, some SO years of age, named Elizabeth Daily, spinster, died is lest Marlborough township, Chester county. She had occu pied for a number of years a small house belonging to her nephew, Wm. Bailey. There resided in the house with her another nephew named Joel Chalfant, who was alsa seine 70 or SO years of age. The parties professed to be very poor, and were to a very great extent supported by the nephew, Mr. Daily, and other neigh bors. Some few weeks before the death of Elizabeth, Joel's mind became affect ed, and he was removed to the Chester County Poor house. After the death of Elizabeth, a will was discovered in a paper box under the eaves of the roof, in which she left all her estate to Mr. Chal flint, and also appointed him her executor. The will was executed sixteen years ago, and 'both the subscribing witnesses were deceased. As Mr. C. was unfit to dis charge the duties of executor, Mr. William Daily administered to the estate. On the 7th inst., Mr. Chathit also died and Mr. Thomas Harlan administered to his estate. In searching the former residence or Miss Daily, on Saturday, they dis covered a judgtAnt bond for $OOO ; some $3OO in gold and silver, and be- 1 tween 525 and $3O in notes. In the ' house was a considerable quantity of ex cellent wearing apparel, linen sheet. , , 1 blankets, &c. There was also a large roll of carpet that had never been worn, but which had become completely riddled by months, as had also much of the bed clothing. The money was found in some fourteen or fifteen separate packages, and secreted in different parts of the house, extending from the garret to the cellar. --Republican, Wrest Chester, Pa. Barnum's Gorilla. A correspondent of the Louisville Cour ier writes an "expose" of Barnum's gorilla, or at least what he deems to be such. The gorilla, he asserts, is " Mr: C., a hand- some young gentleman about twenty•eight years ()rage, of splendid physique, though small in stature." This lovely young man is said to array himself in a gorilla skin, and then perform extraordinary feats of strengtli. The correspondent knows this is true, because a man who has been to New York told him so. This traveler went to Barnum and announced his dis covery of the cheat, "whereupon Barnum begged him to keep the matter quiet." Trade at the South. There is much depression in trade cir cles at the South. A correspondent at Memphis writes: "There is much de spondency iu mercantile circles, over the low prices, which will not be sufficient to pay the tax and cost of producing. Many predict harder times in the South next year than were ever before experienced. There will be little cotton raised unless Congress removes the tax. The impres sion here is that the present low prices are caused, to some extent, by a move ment in New York and Liverpool. to work upon the necessities of the Southern people."

Journeymen Printers are a restive set of men, who seem ever inclined to change their business cud their location, yet they retain a regard for "The Art," which often brings them back to the old trade. We should. not be Surprised to see Simon Cameron hack again. in a printing office, or any others of the craft who have ac quired wealth or honors in the various pursuits of life, Generally ambitious for " something better than type sticking," and from the nature of the business, usually intelligent, they are fitted to en gage •in other pursuits of every kind. Probably Congress generally has mem bers, like Colfax and Cameron. who grad- Uated from the printing office; other Legislative bodies always have more or less ex-priutets autentr their members. The army and the navy has many printers among the officers and the privates. They enter all the learned professions ; in short they are found everywhere in all walks of life. The desire and the ability to do better than to work at the trade, is so great that the large majority of those who learn it, leave the business in early life, so that it is somewhat rare to'find an old man working in a printing office. We, were lately thinking of onr former mates in B. L. Hamlin's printing office,in N. 11., and recounting their history, which seemed worthy•of mention. ..Two of the printers in that office left the trade, grad uated at Yale College, and were admitted to the bar. Another graduated at the medical college. Another became a wealthy merchant in Boston. One of them is now an editor. Three subsequent ly owned large printing offices, w i hich they now carry ou, and this ine,udes all there were in that office except one ap prentice who became a hotel clerk. Among the craft in other offices at that time, one subsequently graduated at the head of his class in Trinity College and is now an Episcopal minister in this county, having recently been the editor of this denominational journal. Two others ed ited and published the Courier. At one time there were three lawyers, two minis ters,. two physicians and nue prominent school teacher in New haven, who were ex-printers. We might extend this list further, but enough is stated to show the tendency of typos to " something, better than type sticking." If a Biographical Dictionary of Printers should ever be printed, it would be au exceedingly inter esting volume to the craft, and not with out interest to the public at large.— Brid.ppott (Cann.)

Within a period of about seventy years, the leading breeds of cattle have been vastly improved, with respect to appear ance, size and productive power. The precise period when this improvement commenced is not material, though toler ably distinct traces of it are found in re cords a hundred years back, more or less. Precious to that time the prevalent breeds of cattle on the Continent and the British Islands, were noticeable rather for the in completeness of their make up,and the di minutiveness of their bodies, and. the paucity of their products, whether for the dairy or for slaughtering purposes. The peculiar distinctive divisions are Long- Horns, Middle-Horns, Hornless or Polled and Sbort-Horns. There are several in termediate varieties, differing, in some characteristics, but still retaining a gen era] family resemblance to one or the other of the leading classes. Whether it has been by crossing, on the part of breeders, or from improved management and keeping, certain it is that all the leading stocks have shown marked improvement within the last thirty or forty years. Among the most I noticeable of these improved breeds, and marked favorites with cattle breeders and dairymen, is the Ayrshire, supposed to be an improved development of the old Tees water,once in high repute in various parts of England. Flint, in his treatise on milch cows and dairy farming, devotes considerable space to this breed, and con cludes that for daily purposes purely. of mainly, the Ayrshires deserve the first place. In consequence of the cows small symmetrical and compact body, well form ed chest, and capacious stomach, there is little waste through the respiratory system; while, at the sonic time, there is a very complete assimilation of the food, and thus she converts a large portion of her feed into milk. It is the verdict of many dairymen that, for the quantity of fund consumed, the Ayrshire cow gives a larger return of milk, and of a better quality, than any other breed.—E.r. MANURING TREES.—Now is a good time, says the Aline Farmer, to put some manure around your fruit trees._ The fall and early sfiiiiie rains will carry 'the soluble elements into fresh soil, and cause them to start with fresh vigor into early spring and summer. Apple trees will send out their roots a great distance for food. We have recently seen roots cut off a distance of forty feet from en apple tree. Thus a single tree may extend its roots across the diameter of a circle two hund red and fifty feet in circumference. We are inclined to the belief that - manure should not be placed close to the trunks of the trees, but at a distance of a few feet from them. Co m, SCREENINGS FOR MULCHING FBUIT InEEs.—Coal screenings, or slack, is very much used in some _.places, as a mulch for fruit trees of all kinds.. Straw and hay, cot., soon decay, - but coal-slack will endure for many years, and being a non-conductor of beat, it keeps the soil warm in winter and cool iu summer. It prevents the growth of weeds, keeps the soil from becoming baked, and also acts as a fertilizer of considerable power. Coal ashes and small cinders may also be used for a similar purpose with good effect. BOILED POTATOES.—Having washed and prepared the potatoes, let them stand in cold water for several hours ; drop them into boilinr , ° water, with some salt iu it, and let them boil about half an hour; take them up the moment they are done; shake them before the fire in a warm cul lender, and put them in a vegetable dish, well warmed. When old potatoes, cook soft and watery. They are much improv ed both in appearance and taste, by being gently squeezed, each one separately, in a warm napkin.
