THE

RAILROAD CO. Their FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS AS AS IXYESTMEXT. The rapid progress of the Union J'aciflo Railroad, now building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and forming, with its western connections, an unbroken line across the coutinent, attracts attention to the va.ue of the First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now offe" to the public The first question asked by prudent Investors Is, "Are these bonds sercre t " Next, SVre they a profitable Investment?" To reply in brief: - 1st. The early completion of the whole gieat line to the Pacific Is as certain as any future business event can be. The Gov ernment grant of over twenty million acres of land and fifty million dollars In Us own bonds practically guarantees It. One-fourth of the work Is already done, and the track continues to be laid at the rate of two miles a day. 2d. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are Issued upou what promises Us be one of the most profitable lines of railroad In the country. For many years it musi oe me only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific; and being without competition , it can maintain remunerative rates. 3d. Four hundred and twenty-five miles of this road are finished, and fully equip ped with depots, locomotives, cars, Ac, and two trains are daily running encli way. The materials for the remaining nlneiy-two miles" to the eastern base o; the Rocky Mountuins areon hand, and it Is under contract to-be done iu September. 4lh. The net earnings of the sections already finished are several timet greater than the gold iutereat upon the Unst Mortgage Bouds upon such sections, and II not another mile ol the road were built the part already completed would not only pay Interest and expenses, but be profit able to the Company. . 5th. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can be issued- nly as the road progresses, and therefore can never be in the market unless they represent a bona-flde property. eth. The amount is strictly limited by law to a sum equal to what is granted hy the U. S. Government, and for which it takes a second lieu as Its security. This amount upon the first 517 miles west from Omaha is only $16,000 per mile. 7tli. The fact that the U. S. Goverumeut cousiders a scond lien upon the road a good investment, and that some of the shrewdest railroad builders of the country have already paid in five million dollars upon the stock (which Is to the'm a third lien), may well Inspire confidence In a first lien. 8th. Although it is not claimed that there can-be any better securities man Governments, there are parties who consider a first mortgage upon such property as this the very best security iu the world. and who sell their Governments to re-invest in these bonds thus securing a greater interest. 9th. A the Union Pacific Kaiiroau Donua are offered for the present at 90 cents on the dollaj and accrued interest, they are the cheapest security in the market, being mote than 15 per cent, less than U. 8. stocks. 10th. At the current rate of premium on gold, they pay ' , Over Nine per Cent. Interest. The dally subscriptions are already large, and they wJU continue to be received in New York by the Comtikkntai. National Bank, No. 7 Nassau Street ; Clark, Dodge 4 Co., Bankers, 51 Wall Street; , John J. Cisco fc Son, Bankers, No. 33 Wa'll Street; and hy Bank and Banker generally throughout the United States, of whom maps and descriptive pamphlets may be obtained. They will also be sent by mail from the Company's office, No. 20 Nassau Street, New York, ou application. Sub scribers will select their own Agents, in whom they have confidence, who alone will be responsible to them lor the safe delivery of the bonds. JOHN J. CISCO, Treasurer, NEW YORK.

COME TOJfY AKMS, flY DAHLIA'S. Come to my arms, my darling. Come for a little while;

Restore me with your touch. Refresh me with your smile. Come! I am all alone; The loud world works without; I care not lor the world ; for you Are all I care about. Then come to my arms, my darling. Come for a little while ; Restore me with your touch. Refresh me with your smile. Long before 1 knew you, darling, I used to watch and wait To see yoa leave the bouse. And have you pass the gate. My cheeks would blush and burn. My outstretched hands would shake. When 1 thought of all that I could do, And would do, for your sake. Then come to my arms, my darling, Come for a little while : Restore me with your touch. Refresh me with your smile. The first time I kissed you, darlingDo you remein ber it? I locket you in these arms, - . And thought 1 could not quit. O, after all that's passed, Darling, 'twlxt you and me, Forgetfulness can never come, And falsehood never be. Then come to my arms, my darling. Come, for a little while ; Restore me with your touch. Refresh me with your smile. Yet, sometimes, sometimes, darling,. - Faint as a filmy cloud. There steals into my heart A fear, all disallowed. , Though grief and gilt and shame For me the future hold. The thought that I will think of is That we have loved of did. Then come to my arms, my darling. Come, for a little while; Restore me with your touch. Refresh me with your smile. HUMOROUS. A gentleman advertises for a horse for a lady of dark color, a good trotter, and of stylish aetion." The horse " must be youDg, and have a long tail about fifteen hands high." An editor at a dinner table, being asked if he would take some pudding, replied in a fit of abstraction: " Owing to a crowd of other matter I am unable to find room for it." That's unjust." exclaimed a trav eler, when informed by the conductor of a railroad that the price of passage: had recently been doubled. lrue, replied the urbane official, as he took the passenger's cash, "it's hard, but then it's fare." Several years ago Punch published a spirited wood-cut ot two norsy looking individuals, one of whom was supposed to be saying: " Well, if a haitch, hand a ho, hand a har, hand a hess, hand a he, don't spell 'orse, then my name haint 'Enery 111." 'I Captain, jewel," said a son of Erin, as a ship was coming on the coast in inclement weather, " have ye a almenick on board: "No, I haven't." " Then be jabers," said Pat. " we shall have to take the weather as it comes." A little girl, who had been. visiting in the family of a neighbor, hear ing them speak of her father being a widower, on her return home addressed him thus: "Pa, are you a widower?" " Yes, my child. " Don't you know your mother is dead?" "Why, yes, I knew mother was dead ; but you always told me you was a New Yorker." It is easy to say ill-natured things, and thus get a reputation for emartne,s; but genuine humor doesn't flow from a bitter fountain. It is gentle and genial, comes from a bright and loving spirit, and refreshes while it excites to mirth and laughter. Less brilliant than wit, it is more agreeable; while one offends by its severity, the other makes a man ashamed of his follies without exciting his re sentment. A YOUNG lady at a fashionable dinner party pestered Dr. Johnson with a conundrum a thing the bluff old philosopher utterly detested. " Why is the letter J like the end of Spring. Doctor?" was the question. Of course the Doctor couldn't tell. " Because it's the beginning of June," was the solution. " Now, Miss, will you tell 1 i .. rr i -. mc wny tne letter iv is HKe a pig s tail?" sternly asked the Doctor. The young lady had to give it up. " Be cause it s the end of pork, Miss." xne uoctor was Dotncrcd with no more conundrums. An Amusing Incident. During a recent revival, not a thousand miles from this city, an amusing incident occurred which illustrates the power of political principles even in matters of religion, and shows that with some persons prayer is of no account unless i il. -t-i i ,, li is or mc ngut stripe politically. At a certain stage of the proceedings it was customary for the minister to leave the pulpit, mingle with his hearers, and endeavor to prevail upon the unconverted, by personal per suasion, to pray for change of heart, xe. un mis occasion, wnne exnort n. . , ... ing one aiter anotner, with various successes, he annealed to a vnnnor man whose knowledge of Webster and the Scripture was either hunted or slieutlv confused, or both, with: " Mv young friend, have you prayed to-night lor the sMvation ol your mimorta soul?" IN o, sir, answered the youth, in a pertinent toue, and with a downcast look. "Do you not desire to offer up thanks tor the many mercies you have alreadv received by JJivine favor : " Yes, but I don't know how," hesi tatingly answered the youth.. " But, my dear boy, you can repeat the Publican s prayer, cau t your asked the minister, gravely. "No. '." was the emohatic re SDonse: "i'lH a Democrat!" Port age Register. Mrs. Cachi.e's Opinion of "Paha - , , , tit a a dise .lost. hy, what have you

got there, Mr. Caudle? A book? What! If you aren't allowed to sleep you'll read! Well, now its come to something! If that isn't insulting a wife to bring a book to. bed, I don't know what wedlock is. But you shan't read, Caudle; no, you shan't; not while I've strenght to get np and put out a candle." "And that's like your feelings! You can't think a great deal of trumpery books; yes, you can't think too much ot the stuff that's put into print; but for what's real and true about you, why you've the. heart of a stone. I. should like to know what the Look's about? What? Milton's Paradise Lost? I thought seme rubbush of the sort something to insult me. A nice book, I think, to read in bed; and a very respectable person he was who wrote it. What do I know of him? Much more than you think; A pretty fellow, indeed, with his six wives. What? He hadn't six- he'd only three. That's nothing to do.with it; but of course you'H take his part. Poor women! A nice time they had with him, I dare say!
