A Postmaster is required to gire notice Ay tetter, (returning a paper does net answer tbe law) when a subscriber does not take bis psper oat of the office, and state tbe reasons tor its n it being taken; and a negloct to do so makes the Postma, ter reptoiuihle to tbe publishers for the payment. 2. Any person who lakes a paper from the Port office, whether directed to his name or another, or whether he has subscribed or not is responsible for the pay. 3. If a person orders his paper discontinued, he must pay all arrearages, or the publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, and ollect the whole amount, i ehrther it be tike* from the office or not. There can be i,. legal discontin uance until the payment is made. 4. If the subscriber orders his paper to be stopped at a certain time, and tbe publisher con tinuesto send, th j subscriber is bound to pay for it, if he to tee it out of tie Poet Office. The law proceeds upon the ground that a man must pay for what he uses. 5. The courts have deeidrd that refusing to t*k newspapers and periodicals front the Post office, or removing and having them uncalled for, is prima facia evidence of intentional fraud. St tfards.

MONEY ORDERS.— The amount of money sent through the mail by postal money or tiers is increasing at the rate of 100 per cent, annually. This year the aggregate foots up $30,000,000, against $16,000,000 last year, and it is estimated that this amount will again double next year. THE South Boston flats, now uncovered and covered by the ebb and flow of the tide, will soon be converted into an extensive dis trict, furnishing additional accommodations for the railroads, and giving a long water front with great commercial facilities. A long sea wall is to be constructed. THE Canadians are troubled by the con tinued exodus of their French; but the French are not the only people who leave them to seek work sod thrift in the United States.* Emigrants slip through Canada as through a sieve into our borders. Of ",091 emigrants who arrived at Toronto during the month of June but 777 remained in Canada. THE order directed against the priesthood in sympathy with the Carlists by Minister Zorilla was an extremely bold one, and it remains to be seen whether it will be effec tual. It is now clear that the chief strength of Don Carlos lay with the clerical influ ence of Spain. We can therefore credit the report that his movement started with sev eral millions and a calculation of 00.000 men. It seems to have ended, as usual, iu flight and executions. THE Cortes will assemble in October —it may be to elect a king. Castellar decs not believe that a king can be chosen, but, writing to a Buenos Ayres newspaper, makes uote of the singular assurance of the diplomatist Olozaga that a candidate for the throne, acceptable to everybody, had been found. Since both Prim and Olozaga are reported in favor of Prince Napoleon, it is just possible that he means Plon-plon. A YORNG lady in New Haven, sixteen years of age, recently met with the total loss of one eye and the serious injury of the oth er. She had placed a bottle of ammonia in warm water, with the object ofloosening the cork. Being heated the natural expansion suddenly forced the cork and liquid from the bottle, the latter full in her face. The pow erful medicine penetrated the eyes, causing intense pain and fearful discoloration. Skil ful surgery has saved one eye, but tbe other is entirely gone. JOHN CHINAMAN, who is rapidly becom ing a bone ol contention between the pnlit ical parties, is being taken hold of vigorous ly also by the different religious dcuomina tions in California, aad we are pleased to learn, with the most gratifying-success. The Celestials take very kindly to the religious dogmas of the various churchmen. Being freed from the .severe restraints and penal ties which are imposed upon Christian con verts in China, the California Chinese ap~ Icar to have their minds opened to the re ception of new ideas and new truths, and the belief is expressed by many, that in a few years after their arrival here, all or nearly all of them will be led to abandon their heathenish mode of worship and adopt Christian principles. We hope so. THE Pennsylvania Central Railroad Com pany start two trains a day from New York, the one via the New Jersey Central to Ilar risburg, and the other via the Cainbcu and Arnboy to Philadelphia, which carry pas stagers, without change of cars, to Omaha. Nebraska, a distance of about sixteen hurid- red utiles. This stupendous enterprise is to be followed shortly by improved family car>, equipped with beds, furniture, kitchens, for the accommodation of passengers, and will start at Philadelphia and New Fork direct for Sacramento, without t-liaDgc, a distance of over thirty three hundred miles. The projector of these moving houses is de voting all his efforts to render them safe and commodious. They will be built of various sizes and capacities. A party or family of fifteen can hire one for the round trip, and can control it as completely during the time they use it as they would a rented tenement. THE EGG TRADE.—There are very few persons who had an idea of the extent of the value of eggs as an article of commerce. It is said that France alone produces seven to eight billions annually—a rptnMty which, if hloww and strung, would twice encircle the globe. Franco exports about six mil lions. chiefly to England. The estimated production of eggs in Great Britain is two billions annually, and yet England pays about $6,000,000 in gold for importations from France, Belgium and Holland. The egg trade in Paris is a very important one, and subject to municipal restraints. They are sold in baskets of 1,040 each. They must not only be whole and fresh, but of a certain size, and officials are appointed by the city government to inspect, not the number and quality, but the size, of the eggs. These inspectors are supplied with a ring, all eggs passing through which are condemned. COMPETITION tells upon the cost of ocean telcgraphy. The new French line begins with a tariff of $lO for ten words, and the old line at once comes down to $7,50 for a message of the same length. We have reason to anticipate an uniform rate of $5,00 for both lines before the end of the present season. The press-reports by the new line show an improvement in quality over those which, by its elder rival, have been very regularly one-balf trash. With the aban donment of the old prohibitory rates of charge, the business of occau telegraphing will exhibit a wonderful increase in populari ty aud profit It is predicted that severa aiditional cables will be laid across the At' lantie within the ensuing five years. AN IRON Cylinder Stove, without any grate, and which consumes its own smoke, has recently been patented in Bavaria. In this the air required in the combustion of the fuel, is introduced through a system of holes two or three inches in diameter just above the bottom. Seven or eight inches above these are attached the same number of tubes of equal width, which are brought to a red heat in the stove, and conduct heated air into the flame charged with the products of combustion. Tbe draught chimney draws the air through these tubes with greater or less intensity, and it enters from all directions into the stove with con siderable rapidity. The flames are thus mixed together and thega-es brought into contact, and the current is sufficiently strong to prevent any of the products of combustion from escaping into the room. Owing to the perfect combustiou of the fuel only a comparatively small quantity is required, while the room is comfortably heated and well ventilated at the same time. BEDFORD, PA.. fftIDAY. AUGUST 2() 1N69. Judn?. For tbe Inquirer LAY MY BONES IN THE LAND OF l-ENN. Oh ! lay my bones in the land of l'ettn That old historic State : That I may die and be buried there I crave at the hand of Fate. In some nook or corner of the stone church yard Where the daisy and sweetbriar grow ; Where an angel mother hath hallowed the spot, Oh, there lay me low 1 lay me low ! This boon I ask Oh this my prayer, In the stone church yard 1-ay me there, lay me there ! I care not for a stone to uiark the spot. Nor a mound to rise o'er me ; Neither care I for a slab-carved name, Let that forgotten he. But let tbe grass grow green aud rank, Ijigh o'er iny slumbering bead, When under the sward of the Nionc yurd You lay me when I'm dead. This boon 1 ask — Oh ! this iny prayer, In the Stone-church yard l.ay me there, lay me there ! There the shadows deepen in the twilight gtsy. And the dew 3 so gently fall, Aud the mountain bard by that old Stone church Keeps vigils over all And the''blue Juniata" my own cherished stream By the church-yard placidly Hows— Oh ! this is the place I desire to sleep— Oh ! there let rae sweetly repose. This boon 1 ask — Oh I this my prayer, In the Stone-church yard, I-ay me there! lav me there ! And the robin will come in the early light And carol his morning song, And late in the day will the ring dove coo, And the thrush bis strain prolong, And tbe sweet-scented clover will waft its perfume, And flowers their fragrance shed, And the cricket will chirrup for the sleeper below— Down, down in bis lowly bed. Oh ! this be my boon— Oh ! this is my prayer, In the Stone-church yard, Lay me there! lay me there '■ Then back to the soil of my own native Peou, Give my body when I die ; In the Stone-church yard near by the Bridge- Let me with my kindred tie, Andtherel will sleep that "dreamless sleep," No more by tempest torn, In the calm sweet rest of my narrow home Till the resurrection morn. This boon I ask Ob ! this my prayer, In the Stone church yard, Lay me there! lay me there! W. .1. M. LIBERTY OF THE I'ItESM. Around her waist I put my arm It felt as soft as cake, "Oh, dear," says she, "what liberty You printer men do take !'" "Why, yes, my Sal, my charming gal, (I squeezed her some, 1 guess,) Can you say aught against The freedom of the Press?" I kissed her soinc—l did, by gum ; She colored like a beet; Upon my living soul she looked Almost too good to eat. 1 gave another bus, and then Says she, "1 do confess 1 rather kinder sorter like The freedom of the Press!" isfcUanrmis. FILIAL PIETY. What! another lecture? Yes, girl?, another lecture. I thought long ago that 1 should have to read you a long one about minding your mother's. Of course you know the divine command, "Honor thy father and thy mother," but very few obey it. An undutil'ul child is an odious character, yet. lew young people feci the affection, and show the respect and obedience to their natural parents that ate becomiug, right and beautiful. Did you ever sit and think about the angui.-h your mother c-ndurcd to give you being? Did you ever recount the days of care and anxiety you cost bet? Did you ever try to measure the love that sus taincd your Infancy and guided your youth? Did you ever think how much more you owe your mother than you will he able to pay? If so, did you look tour and cross when sheatktdyou to do anything? Did you evet vex or disobey her? If you did it is a sin of uo common magnitude, and a shame which should make your check tingle every time you think of it. It is a sin that will be sure to bring its reward in this world. I never know an undutiful daughter make a happy wife and mother. The feeling that enables any one to be unkind to a mother will make her who indulges it wretched for life. If you should lose your mother, you eau little dreaui how the memory of every un kind look or undutiful word, every neglect of her wishes, will haunt yon. I could never tell bow I scum-times feel in re membering instances of neglect of my mother; and yet, thanks to her care. I bad the name of being a good child. She told me, shortly before she died, that I had never vexed her by any act of disobedience, and I would not resign the memory of her approbation for the plaudits of a world, even though I knew it was her love that hid my fault- and magnified what was good. I know many things I might have done to add to her happiness and repay her care, that I did not do, but the grave has cut off all opportunities of rectifying mistakes or atoning for neglect. Never lay up for your self the memory of an unkinduess to or nt gleet of your mother. If she is sick, how can you possibly get tired of wailing on her.' llow can you trust any one else to take your place about her? No one could have filled her place to your peevish infancy anJ troublesome childhood. When she is in her usual health, remember she is not so young and active a* you are. Wait upon her. If she wants her knitting bring it to her, not because she could not get it herself, but to show that you are thinking about her. Learn to comb her hair for her (ometimes. It win make you love to be near her. Bring her drink, fix her cap, piu on her handkerchief, bring her shoes, get her sloves, or do some other little things for her. No matter how active and healthy she may be, or how much she may love to work, she will love to have you do anything that will show you are thinking of her. Ho* I should love now to get down on the floor ind put the stockings and shoes on my mother's dear, fat feet, or to stand half an hour toying with her soft, brown hair. 4irla, you du not know the value of your mother till you have lost her. Nobody loves you, nobody will ever love you, as she does. I)o not be ungrateful for that love, do not repay it with coldness, or a curse of Coldness will rest upon you, which jou can never shake off. I nloved and unloving you will live and die, if you do not love to honor your father and your mother. One thing—never call either ''old man," or 'old woman. It is quite a habit in the country for young people to call their parents thus. Any aged persou is an old man or old woman. There should Ire something sacred, something peculiar in the word that designates parent, The tone of voice in which they arc addressed should be affectionate and respectful. A short, surly answer from a child to a par ent fail- harshly on the ear of any person wi.o has any idea of filial duty. Bo rure, girls, that you each win for yourself the name of a dutiful daughter. —Letter* to Country Girl*. FRUIT FOR FOOD. One of ihc eoniniou diseases of children is worms in the bowels. If a child's diges tion becomes impaired, and the gasriic juices become weakened or defective in quantity by over eating or bad food, the whole alimentary canal becomes clogged up and filthy, and furnishes a nest for such worms as will breed there. In this weaken ed condition of the system, they cannot be destroyed by the process of digestion, and heuce great Latin comes from them. Now, it is an interesting fact that fresh, ripe fruit, is the best preventive for this state of things. Dr. Benjamin Rush pointed this out a hundred years ago. He made a series of experiments on earth worms, which he re garded as more nearly aliied to those that infest the bowels of children than auy other, with a view to test their power of restrain ing life uhdi r the influence of various sub stances that might be used a* worm mtdi cines. The le.-ults proved that worms oftcD live longer in those substances known as poisonous than in some of the most harmless articles of food. For instance, in watery so lutions of opium they lived eleven minutes; in infusions of pink root, thirty three min utes; in claret wine, ten minutes; but in the juics of red cherries they died in six min utes : black cherries, in five minutes; red currants, in three minutes ; gooseberries, in four minute-; whortleberries, in seven min utes ; and raspberries, iD five minutes. From these experiments, Dr. Rush ar gued that fresh ripe fruits, of which chil dren are very fond, are the most speedy and < rtt < t uul for rroicja. fn this theory has proved to be correct. It'you eat and drink hut and exciting ma terials the blood becomes inflamed, the nerves exasperated, and the brain sends out thoughts that are base aud mean. If we would do away with those foods that only influence the passion-, and substitute mere fruit in their place, we would need less re straint. on wrong doers, for our heads would bo clearer, or blood cooler, our nerves stead ier, our impulses more subject to reason, and life would be a hundred per cent, truer and better than it is to-day. We have only to read the travels of al most any of our great explorers to learn that fraits are often the only medicine that will restore health. Dr. John Ross, in his ex pedition to the Northwest many years ago, gives an account of bow he cured bis men of loathsome diseases by simply feeding them wild raspberries, found growing abundautly in all of our Northwestern States and terri ■ torics. We should be careful, however, not to jump at conclusiors. A very bad case of dyspepsia has been known to be cured by eating two slices of raw onion every day be fore dirner. But because it cured one per son is no proof that it will cure another. Peaches have been known to bring on ery sipelas. Consequently each person must determine what is best for himself individu ally. XJtEATMENT OF TIIE 11 AIR. The Scientific American, discussing the question, "Why not Grow our own Hair.?" says Ilair may be likened to vegetable growth, and each particular hair to a plant, the skin being the soil from which it de rives its sustenance. A hair is a hollow tube containing in its cavity an oil which gives it color. The only conditions neces sary for its perfect and luxuriant growth, arc that the soil be good and the growth of the crop unmolested by outward circum stances. If the soil is bad or lias been deteriorated by disease, it must be renovated before good erops can reasonably be expected ; but you might as well expect to improve the quality of the land by carting stones upon it, as to renovate the scalp by the use of oil and pomatums. The compounds contain noth ing to nourish the hair, while they ob- truer the action of the skin, upon the healthy coalition of which, more than anything else, a full and luxuriant growtli of Lair depends. The least harmful of oils, if any must be resorted to, is castor oil diluted with two parts alcohol and scented to suit the tast; but even this should be very sparingly used. A good healthy head of hair should supply its own soil. A preparation of alcohol one pint, pure glycerine two ounces, and water one half pint, scented with rose geranium, lemon grass, or any other essentia! oil suita ble for the purpose, is an admirable dressing for the hair, and one that exerts a healthful influence upon the skin. A solution of borax is letter for cleansing the hair than the bicarbonate of potash in common use among hair dressers for the purpose. The latter may be used to advat tige, however, when acidity is apt to be gtuerated by perspiration. Either of these will be rarely required if the hair and scalp are washed every morning in pure water, which is not only of great ben, fit to the hair, hut the very preventive of colds in the head. Afier such ablution the head should be wiped nearly dry aud then dressed, but ex posure to cold winds before the hair is well dried is not advisable. Another excellent detergent for the scalp iathe white of an egg. Two eggs will be sufficient for a cleansing of the hair as ordi- narily worn by men, but women who wear their hair as long as it will grow, will need four or more. The yolks should be carefully removed,-and the albuminous portion rub bed into tbe roots of the hair very thor oughly for some time, when a thorough rinsing with WBter and drying with towels will leave the hair of a beautiful lustre and silklv softhess. Fiue- toothed combs are only tolerated under conditions which are happily rare in this country, and therefore unnecessary to mention. Brushing is good, if not carried so far as to injure tbe skin. TESTS OF CHARACTER. Everybody who is fond of investigating character seeks for tests. Now, there arc tests which, at first sight, seem to lie good, but are really woith nothing. You may search forever, and be forever wrong, to find the crucial test of a man's character in his choice of a wife, of a house, of furniture, even of his friends, or of any of his many surroundings, for that which surrounds a man is not necessarily sympathetic with him. Tests of this kind fail, because of the influ ence you can seldom eliminate. Take, for instance, his friends. Friend ship is often the result of ilie merest acci dent. One cannot but have some liking for one's schoolfellows aud college companions, whether they are especially suitable to one or not; and, indeed, throughout life, friend ship depends much upon vicinity. To find a certain test, you have something that he says, or does, when lreed from the influence of others, and when un controlled by circumstances. Authors are far better understood than other men, be cause they cannot heip betraying their real thoughts and opioious, as, when they write, they often forget who they are, with whom they live, aud even what is expected of them. In minor matters, it is often easy to find a good test. For example, if you want to ascertain what is to be ascertained of the character of a man fiiom his style, open his book anywhere, aud you are nearly sure to discern at once the peculiarities of his style, tie never can conceal them. If a man means to do a thing, and does not do it, you have a sure test. To take writing again as an instance; you can see that in such a sentence a man meant to do something forcible and telling, and to pro duce a great effect; bul. perhaps, it is mere ly fine writing or hombast. You have at once a measure of the man's power in that direction. What he blames, what he praises are good tests of his character. What he plays at, what he laughs at, are still better tests. All serious work is, to a certain extent, com pulsory; butgamesomenessand laughter are, for the most part voluntary. The serious beaver is always building his house, but, in that constant work of his, shows no pecu liarity of beaver character. It is better, in some respeets, to be ad mired by those with whom you live than to beloved by them. And this, not on ac count of any gratification of vanity, but be cause admiration is so much more tolerant than love Tf yon arc admired by those who surround you, you have little to ex plain or justify. Tbey believe in you. And this makes the wheels of life go very smooth ly with you. Of course, love often infers admiration; but there are many instances in which the two things are utterly dissevered. GOOD RULES TO REMEMBER. Loose ideas on the subject of business will not answer. It must be reduced to something of a science. To embark in business without this preparatory knowl edge, is to set sail without a port and with out an acquaintance with navigation, circum stances that insure shipwreck. Be neither lavish nor niggardly; of the two avoid the latter. A mean matt is universally despised, but public fame is a stepping stone to pieferment, therefore generous feelings should be cultivated. Remember that self interest is more like ly to warp your judgment than all other circumstances combined; therefore look well to your duty when your interest is con cerned. The world estimates men by their success in life, and by general consent success is evidence of superiority of a certain kind. Never, under any circumstances, assume a responsibility you can avoid consistently with your duty to yourself and others. Base all your actions upon a principle of right; preserv. your integrity of character! and, doing this, never reckon the cost Let your expenses be such as to leave a balance in your pocket. Ready money is a friend in need. Wine-drinking and smoking are bad habits. They impair the mind and pocket, and lead to a waste of time. Education pays an annual income for life without expense for insurance, repairs, or taxes. Never relate jour misfortunes, and never grieve over what you can not pievent. Never make money at the expense of your reputation. GOOD ADVICE. Whatever be your calling, be proud of it. Are you a shoemaker? Try to make a better shoe than any other man can make. Yes, whatever your trade or profession, excel in it if you can. Bear in mind that any kind of honest labor is honorable, but choose well. "In whate'er you sweat, indulge your taste." If you like the free life and honest labor of a farmer, do not drag out long years in the study of law or medicine, for that would only be "vanity and vexation of spirit,'' but go immediately to the farm, and in the life j'ou love enjoy that perfect peace of mind peculiar to every individual that feels he is in his fort, doing what God designed he should, and who will never have to re alize that cold, humiliating, and sickening feeling, that his life has been a failure. Suffer not that feeling to creep over you, but be up and doing. "Look well to the ways of your footsteps." Keep clean the house of clay in which God has placed you. Touch not, taste not that which will corrupt it. Go not to your grave a composition, one-third whiskey, one-third tobacco, and the remaining third corruption, so filthy that even the ghouls and ravenous worms would scorn to touch you. Be true to yourself. Deal honestly and plainly with your fellow-men. Kemember that. "The pleasure is as great In being cheated as to cheat." THE printer who kissed his sweaiheart saying "please exchange," is believed not to hare exceeded the "liberty of the press. VOI.. 42: NO 30 A NEW STEAM CABBIACK The liomlon Telsgraph describes a new steam carriage which seems destined to play an important part. The first point which would strike anybody who went to see it (says the Telegraph) was this —that here was a railway carriage capable of carrying sixty six passengers (the average freight of railway trains being thirty-five) and careering at the rate ol eighteen mile? an hour round a small garden little more than half an acre in extent. There might have been another carriage to carry as many more passengers added to the train, and the whole train would have been carried round the sharp curves of the small garden with perfect ease. Now, in these days, when we begin to work railways in the heart of our great towns, it is important to he able toal just the wheels of a train so as to turn it on a curve which has a radius of only 50 fort: nor is it less impotant to attain this object in country places, where the nature of the ground renders sharp turning necessary— turns which now are avoided by extensive cutting, tunneling* and viaducts. Nearly all visitors to Paris have been in itcd to en joy a fish dinner at Sceaux, and must have observed there the clever, but complicated, arrangement, by which the train arriving at the station turns round in an exceedingly narrow space. It is one of the curiosities of railways. But according to the Fairlie system, exhibited in a small garden attached to the Hatc-hman iron works, the turn is contrived by very simple means —may be made in a much smaller space than that which the station at 'Sceaux fills, and is easily adapted to auy ordinary railway sys tem. In additiou to this, by the adjustment of weights on the different wheels, Mr. Fairlie manages to get rid of an enormous amount of that dead weight which belonirs to all existing trains, which w< ars the rails out very soon, and which adds prodigiously to the expenses of every railway. He pro fesses, indeed, to have solved the problem of cheap railways—enabling us to have a permanent way of much lighter construction than is usuai, and to provide for carriage along it at a very great saving of cost. Nothing hut actual experience will prove whether or not his anticipations are well founded; but at least he seems to be on the fair way to success; and by the exhibition of the prowess of his engine and his carriage last week, has established a strong pre sumption in his favor.' 1 THE STORY OF A PHYSICIAN. An eminent physician in Hearth and Home contributes the following exquisite article for the benefit of young mothers. He says : An intelligent young mother in quiring some days since now she could best preserve her child's linen eleau and sweet when changed frequently during the day. I directed her never to dry it by the fire, but in the sun and open air if the weather permitted. lou thus not only avoid saturating thc air of your rooms with the volatile and poisonous gases driveu out of the linen, but the sun's rays have powers of cleansing and j disinfecting which artificial heat has not, and will purify and preserve the linen. She followed my direction, but as too often the practice, dried and aired it in the nursery' window. Her fastidious husband remon strated in vain against this unseemly expo sure. Believing that if she saw her prac tice as others saw it, she would desist, he so directed their afternoon walk as to bring the nursery window into full view from a cen tral part of the town. Stopping abruptly, he pointed to the of fending linen flapping conspicuously in the breeze, and asked sarcastically: "My dear, what is that displayed from our window?" "Why," she proudly replied, "that is the flag of our Union!" Conquered by this pungent retort, he saluted the flag with a swing of bis hat, and pressing his wife's arm closer within his own, said as they walked homeward, "And long may it wave." A Roraatic Incident. Some years ago (says the New Orleans Picayune), a gentleman named I'aul Escott' a resider of New Orleans, but formerly liv ing in France, lost his little son, a lad of ten years of age, from a vessel off the Canary Islands. It was night at the time, and al though every possible exertion was made to rescue the boy, yet they were unsuccess ful, and the little fellow was given up for lost. Shortly afterward the family eame to New Orleans, and in time the' grief of the parents for the loss of their son became only a sorrow living in their memories. He was dead, they thought, and grief could not bring him back to life. But he was not dead, ne had got possession of one of the planks thrown out to bim, and although missing bis friends, was picked up the next day by aa English vessei. In this ship he made the voyage to China, and failing to communicate with his family on his return, continued in the employment of the vessel for several years. At last, learning the whereabout of his family, he reached this city in quest of them a few days since. The joy which the appearance of one they had long considered dead can, as the novelists says, be more easily imagined than described. It was like one risen from the grave, and discloses a scries of incidents as fruitful of romance as often engages the pen of the novelist and essayist. TOBACCO AND RCM .MONEY.—A hard working man returning from his day's labor, with a flower-pot containing a brilliant fttschia under his arm, was met by a fellow workman with a "Good-day," hut who at the same time, made some light remark about this propensity. '"They don't eat or drink, bless 'ein," was the reply of the other, "and it does me and my wife good to look at em." He made no father remark as his neighbor replaced his short black pipe in his mouth, and passed on; but we in wardly said this was a portion of his rum and tobacco money. He had several beautiful plants and choice chromos in his house; and we knew that his love of the beautiful cost hi in far 1 >s than his neigh dor's love of tobacco. Then his gain was much the greatest. The smoker would gain a hot, dry mouth, a foul breath, yellow teeth, sallow skin, full eyes, if he had not drink. The other would gain the sweet breath of the flower, and the cheering presence of the picture; and gladden his wile and children by bringing them such beautiful things instead of being wished out of doors with his nasty tobaceo smoke ; and disgusting spittle. He is uot the richest who makes the most money; but he who makes what he has produce the most hap piness, and eater to the most, refined and | delicate tastes. SUBSCRIPT ION TERMS, kC.

'Thirty years ago," says Wilkes' Spirit, "the orators ruled America: to-day it is ruled by the editors." It adds: "There is a class of men among hankers and merchants and lawyers who affect a condescension toward the journal ists which is intensely amusing. The writer for the newspaper appears to their blinking eyes a kind of literary adventurer, who is to be tolerated for his genius, but nt to be trusted in business. They are ignorant that it sells their goods, furnishes all their facts, and presents thetn gratuitou-ly with opin ion-. They do not know, as J. (,'ooke docs, that ihe newspaper* ol America sold two th' usand millions of national bonds.

Wit k.n the Empress Eugenie is about io pass frout her apaitment to her dressing room, the lirst Jemme de cha.iibn touches au elect tic hell that corresponds with the room overhead. Thereupon a trap door in the ceiling of the dressing room opens, aud the toilet the Empress has signified her in tention of wearing is lowered from above — petticoats, slip, dress, tunics, all ready to put on, one inside the other, with their trimmings of flowers and tibbous, flounces and lace. A quarter of an hour after she is dressed, necklace, jewels, and earrings are in their places, und then the hair dresser is summoned; for the Empress, contrary to the usual fashion, leaves her coiffure to the last. The whole process is completed in less than half an hour. A LADY is considered vulgar at Saratoga who does not appear during the day in four different costumes.
