More than half of the furnaces and rolling mills in the valley have been tail: since the opeoine of the railroad —a result due tcUc n'-ouragement which the management of the road, guided by the wisdom and ioresigbt of Asa i-a-ker gave to the ownors of the existing furnaces projectors of new ones."

I'noer ihe tir-t te tun of the bill, those district# which have accept ef the school law since 1360, will draw state appro trillions from 1860 up to the time of their aeccpt itv.e, besides the aj proprtatioDS for the present year.

My Portrait Gallery. BT NELLIE CLIFTON. llow many of us are the owners of galleriel more precious to us than the costliest productions of the old world masters — they can be bought with gold— ours can only be taken from us by the master-band that painted them, The most practical man of bus iness, who roads these lines, will confess to himself that there are pictures in his galiery before which he stands with bowed head and beating heart j but of which his most intimate friend never drosmed the existence. The world calls him stern and cold per haps, and yet tbero are moments when he gazes with a wistful tenderness upon some portrait in that gal lery. It may be that of the fund mother who pil lowed his childish head upon her breast; or the fa vorite sister whose early loss taught the first sad les son of death ; or the fair young maiden whose face bloom* on memory's canvass in perpetual beauty; or, sadder still, the idolized wife and mother, above whose true heart the graveyard sods ar- lying, that be lis down on him with the love-light never dim in her gen tie ej \ tVc cons'eOtly m.-ko accessions t. the number of our p itni.ts; but the old ones are never defaeed or crowded out. Dust and cobwebs may hide their lin eaments for awhile ; but there are times when mem ory with relentless hand sweeps away the obscurities and they stand forth with wonted clearness Most pictures need a stiong light to bring out their peculiar lieauties ; but these seem to put on their most vivid coloring on a day like this.—Back ground, a dull, leaden gray sky—lowering and sul len clouds drifting heavily with the wind—fore ground, leafless trees, moodily swinging their gaunt Mrms in the " wild March weather," and tho rain falling with a ceaseless drip on the already sodden earth. Ou such a day memory leads me through the gallery when her hand is ever busy upon tho canvass. | Before one portrait I stop with streaming eyes and | a sadly acbir.g heart. The picture is that of a be- I loved friend, Mrs. Eliza Fossett Si'klcr, and tho : light that glorifies every feature, shiues through the open portals of tne New Jerusalem, where she has gone to join the celestial hand that throngs its golden streets. The human flower upon her maternal breast has been transplant*..! by the Lord of Paradise to blossom in immortal loveliness in the gardens of the blest. Ah ! can it be thai there remains to me but the portrait and that the coffin lid has forever shut out from mortal eyes the dear lace of the original!— Why could not death have chosen, as his victim, one less endeared by every sweet, womanly virtue to the hearts where hi-i image is tberished ? In very truth "he loves a shining mark " Hers was a nolle < h\r.o-ter—atern only in judging herself, she was ever ready tu throw the white mar. tie of charity over other's failings. A devoted daugh ter, affectionate si.-ter, loving wife, fond mother and faithful friend -in every relation of life a good and pure christian woman. Firm in her allegiance to th Right, she was yielJing where the only sacrifice required war hcrs< If licr noble intellect and fine conversational powers were embellished by a refined delicacy of feeling and a gentle courtesy o: manner. In November 1666, she went from her father's house and from a pleasant family circle in Forkston, Wyoming County, a happy bride, with one every way worthy her love and truit. Bhe left her por trait in tho galiery of each member of that home land, yet jhe sadness of that parting v.as sweetened by the hope of many future meetings. She went to her new Louie in Mouroe, which had lacked only the sunsh ne of her presence. IJow happy was their wedded life—bow -he ui tdo ihxt home an earthly paradise to the one she loved—is it not written in fadeless characters uj on the heart in which her im age is enshrined ? lu Stq teuxber 1-67 their cup of happiness was filled to the brim by a tiny hand that o[nel the flood-gates of parental love. No " Iloly Mother and Child" ever pointed by the hand of Murillo or a Guido, could ever be so worshipped by art-lovers, as are the [orttaits of tuat mother and child by the now bereaved bu-band nl father. The parent st ra withcrel ia perfecting tho blos som. Cousump ion laid its icy hand upon the springs of life and the "silver cord was loisad and the gol den howl bruk -n." The hues of health never re turned to tbe check where Death had set his signet in a fatal hectic. Everything wis done that devoted affection could suggest; but all in rain. Ob ! who tau pictuic that husband's angui.-h as he sew that gentle being fade from his side day hy day 1 Bhe suffered no paiu ; and Jmuary 25th, 1369, without a single complaining wotd, and seemingly without the shad ow of a fear, she went down into " the valley of the ,-hidow ..I death" and across the River to tho Fath r's In.us*-, ti I. made with bunds ; but eternal in i.-.tile 1! ward, th" b'by-boy, lingered about two months longer and then *. Nt to join hi* mother, leaving tbe sorrowing father doubly desolate. Side by side they rest in the churchyard of her native place. Her departure has cast an added gloom over the household mourning the loss of another beloved daughter and sinter—a lovely young wife and moth er—who left them last June for her heavenly home. The cold stream that has borne away the desolate husband's dearest earthly hopes, can never be re crossed by his loved ones ; yet a little longer endur ance of Life's weary burdens and he shall go to join them on the shining heights beyond the River of Death. " They await him in that sun-bright clime Unstained by sorrow— unhurt by time; 'Tts where the song of the seraph swells, Where the radiant Lord of brightness dwells. There are rivers of waters gushing there 'Mid blossoms of beauty strangely rare ; And a thousand wings are hovering o'er The dazzling wave and the golden shore. There their angel forms are arrayed in white, Detnjs of beauty clothed in light ; They dwell in Heaven's immortal bowers. 'Mid the f.iuelevt hues of countless flowers, Ear hath not hesrd nor eye hath seen. Their swelling songs and changeless sheen ; For their vests of light and harps of gold, And CTOWIIS of glory wax not old In that sun bright clime."

A thousand noobles in Kansas headed by one Anthony ( not unfitly baptized, since St. Anthony is the patron, we be lieve, of pig-drivers,) were good enough to inform Senator Moss bv telegraph that " Kansas had heard the evidence, and re " quested lioss to find the President guil ty." This is the sort of thing which the Radicals glorify as a " Drcssure of the peo ple/' Now " New York " heard the evidence as well as " Kansas." If New York had telegraphed her verdict to Morgan and Conkiing, New York by a voice of a Con [ servative majority of 5U,000 votes, would have requested those Senators to vote the President " acquitted." Connecticut, too, # heard the evidence." What sort of a " request " would the Democratic majority of that Stat- hava telegraphed to Senator Ferry ? T vast mttjirlry .! the Northern peo ple in litis in ittcr were arid hi a against the impeac.hers.
