In rosy, sonny, dreamy June, ' , . '

And here and there among its green , -Ton
graceful hung nud graceful swung

And lay upon the eool stone floor.1 1 ,

Who can estimate the value of a newspa
per? Ho one, until lie has lost it until
the pleasant periodical visits, like the face
ot a dear friend, bringing .such a fund of
wit, news and general . intelligence, that he
is always greeted with a hearty welcome, are
withdrawn. It is in one sense, the light of
the world, without which the mental uni
verse would be aa much, in darkness as the
terrestrial is without the sun.
There are. books, it is true, gcod, wise,
entertaining ; but they do not tell what we
want to know of passing events, or direct
us to the best place of business. Neither
do they inform us who of our friends are
passing away or getting married; or who is
doing a driving business, or who is bank
rupt, or who has failed from the Eistern
Continent, or who has returned from a tour
thither, etc.
I did not think of this until I had .formed
a- foolish resolve not to take mj paper
another year. The pressure of the time
was severe, business dull, my family expen
sive, and it really seemed necessary to re
trench somewhere in order to make "both
ends meet" at the end of the year. So 1
thought, as I sat one evening in dressing
frown and slippers, with my feet upon the
tender. I had my Iasf Daper in hand which
I perused with a greater interest man ever
before, it may be because I had resolved to
part with it.
"I tell you, Katie," said I to my wife.
' it wn't do, we must curtail expenses, and
I will begin by withdrawing my advertise
ments from the paper and ordering it dis
coininued. Taxes will soon be due; which
mu-t Le paid; wood is enormously high.
Lut, we can't do without it nor groceries
and provisions, lights or clothing, nor many
other incidental expenses. 1 We have plenty
of books and magazines,' old to be sure, still
they are all reliable ; we must do without a.
taper lor the year to come.
"It is only two dollars, a year," said my
wue quietly. . .
"I know it, but every dollar counts now
a Jays," I replied.
'"lut do you not believe that it will have
a tendency to render business still more dull
not to advertiser she asked.
"Nonsense ! A place so well established
needs not so ouestionable a-lever to help it
on. I do not sttppose'it will make any dif
ference, while the cost of advertising is cou-
bideruble, 1 replied a little impatient.
"But what will you do for. the news?"
ne ventured again. - f
''Oh, I can gain enough of that by inter
course with others, and can occasionally buy
or borrow a copy.
''John Smyth," said my wife, now fully
aroused, "I'm ashamed of you. What!
fto poor to take a paper yourself, and yet
willing to filch information ' from others
whose money is mid. for what they learn,
and at the same time defraud the honest
publisher, who is constantly laboring with
head and hand for others' good ! Talk about
retrenchment! ..You had better stop your
wns at tne saloon tor ale and cider need
less expenditures for youreelfv alone, while
the newspaper is a perpetual 'intellectual
lea.-t for the family, yourself not excepted;
ana it costs but a mere trifle in. comparison
o the money you spend every week for to?
oacco and drink You have not spoken on
the increased price for these articles. Stop
the paper, indeed !" 'and my wife jerked her
chair around with not a very graceful move
ment, and sat with her back towards me, in
utter eoutempt of my ."penny wise and
pound foolish" resolution.
ow, I ruake it a point never to yield to
my wife or any of my family, if 1 can help
"is. in case 1 sliould, I would become', a
secondary consideration in my own family
portion I by no means intended to occupy.
t sad nothing, but sat and puffed mj
'-sjaui navana, watching the graceful folds
the smoke as it wound itself in little
wreaths about my head. I resolved that
what would, I would not yield indul-'
gence in the delicious weed for the t-ake of a
newspaper. The next day. I called on the
Publisher, settled my accounts,' aud ordered

" But I put her aside, saying : "The paper
will not come any more. I have ordered it
discontined." , '. ''
'Why, father," she exclaimed, "how can
we do without it?" ' ' "'
"We must learn to do without it," I re
plied, as we passed to the supper room.
tAt'ter supper, instead of reading to my
famiiy-somc times leading their minds away
off; to other scenes and distant, regions,
beautiful countries that others have explor
ed at great-expene-and ?ome-ri?k'of HfeH
sometimes to the fierce fields ot battle, blood
and carnage, pictured so vividly . that they
seemed, indeed, before us, while we were
safe and. comfortable in our little home, or
singing over the stray waifs of real poetry
which often find their way into the newspa
per, touching a tender chord in every heart
as 1 was wont to do, I stretched myself
upon the sofa and tried to sleep.
"TiMjmy." whispered Mary, ''run oyer to
Mr. -Wild's and see if you tarr borrow his
laper. ...... . . t
1 lut Tommy soon returned with the an
swer that "Mr. Hvas reading it himself."
j "Then go to Mr. Brown's, and if you
cannot pet his go to Mr. Gates."
But Tommy was not more successful at
either of these places. Mr. Brown had ta
ken his down town, arid Mr. Gates "did not
like to lend his. Thought his father took
it." A disappoiuted sigh was Mary's only
answer.
"The particulars of that niurdor affair are
in the paper this week." said my wife witk
a slight frown u;mn her brow, "and I really
would like to see it.
"And Willie Milford's new story was to
craw out in this week's paper'. I really
wish 1 could borrow it;" said Mary.
"lle;e Tommy," said 1 taking five cents
from my pocket, "run down to the news
office and buy a paper, if it's not too late,
or the : publishing office." r
Tommy soon returned out of breath.
"I've run enough alterthat old uewspaper,''
with just a touch of his fathers spunk, "and
1 won't go again. The publishing office
was closed, and the news office had not a
number left, I would like to lindout when
that celebration is coming off. Nobody can
tell for sure, but the paper, It is in that,
fotlivi," lie o iled. The minds of all, us
well as myself, were on the missing paper,
but I was thoroughly out of patience with
myself and with them. "I tell you I don't
know anything about it," 1 replied in a not
very amiable tone, I f ar. "Seems to me
you are all wonderfully exercised m that
confounded paper since you know it's stop
pod. I don't want to hear another word
about it." . ,.;
This put a 'quietus on the subject,, at least
for a time.
However, as time passed on I began to
think I had made very little progress toward
bettering niy condition, and that pathering
information ot current events by intercourse
with others was a very unreliable source.
Kvery one gave a coloring peculiarly his
own, and every oner -needs to read J'or him
self to have. a- eorrect idea of what is going
on around hirti.
Besides this,, my business from dull be
came duller, eventually .dullest, while my
nek'li'ioi a?ross the way, with no better
qualifications or facilities than myself, seem
ed to be doing a thriving business. : Could
ft be because he advertised in locals that
which nobody took the trouble to read?
Doubtful. r "; ;
One day I met an old friend and customer
whom 1 had not seen for a long time. I
had often wondered what had become" of
him, as well as some others of his neighbor
hood, who were once good paying custom
ers of mine.- . i
"How are you?" said he, giving me his
hand. ' "How do vou prosper? Going
down hill, eh?" i ?
"I hope not," I replied with a faint smile.
Weil, 1 see you have stopped advertis
insr, and I supposed yon had closed or smash
ed up, and as I am usualiy in a hurry when
I come to town, I go, where they advertise
to do work promptly and well. This is why
1 have not seen you lately, trood-bye, sir ;
if you are still. in the iusinesa.let us see
your-card", 'and' know where you are, and
what you arc doing."
; I began to think better cf advertising
than before and on 'my way : home I gave
the publisher of the paper a call.
"I begin to think, friend," said I, "I
began in the wrong direction to curtail ex
penses : that I was, indeed, 'penny wise
and pound foolish,', when I withdrew my
patronage. Our interests are more inti
mately connected than I could have believed,
until I made the experiment."
Thereupon I was aeain enrolled upon his
list of subscribers, and half a column was
davoted to my affairs. And I freely confess
that 1 hai no occasion to regret the expen
diture. My old customers and many new
ones, began to make their appearance, bu
siness bepan to revive, and ere long I lelt
warranted in the expediency of securing an
assistant. My family 'were 'gratified at the
reappearance of their old frieud, the news
paper, and 1 am resolved that sooner than
part with it fleam, I will ffivo uri ale and cli
fars. which f0r me would be quite a sacrifice

Honv John Bell,' of Tennesse. is now liv
ing at hi? home, near the Cumberland Iron
Works, a few hours steamboat travel below
Nashvile, on the Buuiberland river. He is
about seventy-three years old, badlv broken
dbwnt physically and pecuniarily; Before
the war be.owneJ six hundred negroes, worth
a juaiter.of a million at least, and was the
principal owner in the.large iron works at

A Crow Stohy. The Albany Knicker
bocker ' narrates . the following : Out friend
Chris.: ilapp owns a small farm .on the
Schenectady turnpike, just this side of the
junction.: Upon the farm is a small but
dense wood. He recently leased the farm
to a bone dealer, who purchased from all
the bono dealers in the city and ships his
stock to other sections. At times immense
quantities of bones are accumulated. This
was the case a short time since,- and, as a
consequence, many crows were attracted to
the spot. Imagine the surprise of Mr.
Kapp, who visited the farm a day or two
since, to find on the group of the wood the
bodies of about two thousand dead crows.
In fact the ground was literally covered.
It was supposed, of course, that the birds
had: been attracted by. the smell of the
bones ; a snow storm set in, which covered
the bones, and the crows lingered in hope of
securing prey.; A cold snap followed, and
the death of the large number above record
ed was the result. . ..; -
; Dr. Gatling, the inventor of the celebra
ted gun which bears his name, was at the
Watcrvliet Arsenal ' on . Wednesday, and
tested the piece in the presence of the offi
cers of the past. The gun, carriage inclu
ded weighs about seven hundred pounds,
has six barrels,- and revolves in a manner
similar to the old-fashioned "pepper-box"
revolvers. -The balls used on this occasion
were of the ordinary inusket size, with a
metallic cartridge attached, the solid oak
target. was placed at a distance of 'one hun
dred yards from the gun, and the discharges
were at. the r.ite or about one hundred per
minute, ihe balls penetrating the target to
the ilepth. of two inches. The cartridges
are! placed, in a hopper, ana oy turning a
crank the, piece is revolved, the cartridges
placed in the barrels and fired. ' If desira
Lie. a lateral train motion , may be kept up
while the gun is bcing discharged, so that
one perfect slu;et of balls can be made to
sweep a seettuniof any circle within its
range. - . .- . - ... .
Chancellor Livingstone, fifty-six years ago
wrote a letter expressing .doubts as to the
practicability ot railroads.- .Ihe wail on
which they ate placed must be at least, four
feet below the surluee and three above, and
must be clamped with iron, and even then
would hardly sustain so heavy a weight as.
you jaoprrac moving- - f.ue mro-tn -lour
miles an hour, on wheels. As to wood, it
would not last a week. They must be cov
ered with iron, and that, too,, very thick
and .strong. The means of stopping these
heavy carriages without a great shock, and
of preventing them running into each other
for t here would be many runuing upou the
road at once would be very difficult. In
case of accidental stops, or nece:ssary stops
to take wood and water, &c , many acci
dents would happen. The carriage of con
densing water would be very troublesome.
Upon the whole, I fear the expense' would
be much greater than that of canals, without
being so convenient."
Too Good to be Lost. A good joke is
related of a couple ot members of the West
Virginia Legislature, which is worth relat
ing. .: In conversation one day on the sub
ject of the Lord's I'raycr, one offered to bet
the other five dollars that he did not know
it. The bet was accepted, pnd, by agree
ment, the. Legislator was to repeat it, , lie
commenced as follows : .
"Now I lay me down to sleep, .
I pray the Lord my sould to keep,
If I should die lefore I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take."
-'Well, I declare," exclaimed the aston
ished Legislator, "you have won the bet,
but I'll be hanged if I thought you knew
itr" and forthwith- handed over the five dol
lars, ta, the great amusement of a number j
of gentlemen present.
