NEWSPAPERS.

A man eats up pound of sugar, and the
pleasure he enjoyed has ended but TIE in
formation he gets from newspaper is treas
ured up in the mind, to be enjoyed anew,
and TO be used whenever occasion or inclina-
tion calls for it. A newspaper is not the wis
dom of one man, or two men it is the wis
dom of the age, and of past ages too.
A family without newspaper, is always
half an age behind the times in general in
formation, besides they never think much
or find much to think about. And there are
the little ones growing up in ignorance, with
OFT ary taste for reading.
Besides all these evils, there's the wife,
who, when her work is done, has to sit down
with lands in her lap and nothing to amuse
her mind from the tolls and cares of the do
mestic circle, Who then would be without
a newspaper. er.-Benamin Franklin.

DECIDEDLY RICH "A correspondent of the

''lt seems that the person who blows the
bellows Of the organ at ST. Luke's Church,
also attends to the furnace for warming the

vice, to ''mind tho fires" he left the bellows
in charge Of a coachman lately imported, and
'green' as the Emerald Isle Of his nativity
before the appearance Of the potato rot. Du-
ring his absence, the "Floria in Excclsis''
came in the order of exercise, to be chaunt-
ed, and Patrick was directed to furnish the
organic element A short time elapsed, but
no music followed the touch of the lady who
presided at the instrument: "Blow," whisp-
cred the fair drganist. elbow! !" repeated
the leader, and elbow! blast you, blow !"
echoed the entire choir, but not puff found
its way into the vacant pipes, to wake the
slumbering harmony. An investigation now
took place, and Patrick was found behind the
organ-with both his hands tightly clenched
around the bellows-handlc IA stick of some
five feet long and two inches thick the end
stuck in his mouth, his cheeks sweled to thu
utmost expansion, his eyes distended, and
the perspiration streaming from his face--en-
gagged in the vigorous but vain attempt TO
force his breath through the instrument.
1t is, perhaps, unnecessary TO say that some
little time passed before the choir were able
TO screw their mouths into that serious pucksr
requisite to the proper performance Of the
musical exercise"

How THEY BUILD HOUSES IN NEW YORK,
The following account of civic; arcAiteetnre
in New York is by NIKE WALSH, who is no&
connected with newspaper in Boston. The
characteristics which he nscribes to the style
of Building are strikingly Indicated BY tho
illustrations he giSes:
Most of the buildings in New York are run
up by contract consequently; the object TO
the owner and contractor, both being to do
and get the work done as cheaply as possible.
Houses there are very fimsily constructed,
and it is getting 10 bc more and more the case
here We. have heard it averred, that build
ing contractors, there, have been known to
split their brick and set them edgewise, to
make one supply the space of two. We have
heard, too, that they often cement the bricks
end that they must soon fall; perhaps BY
wind, perhaps by fire, and so afford the men
work. -,
Lest the houses so erected should bid def
ance to both these agents and last too long,
they insert strips of scantling between the
layers, on pretence Of mailing the laihing to
them, OF course ;f the building takes fire;
the scantling burns away and the walls COME
down. This is not the only evil consequent
on such style of building.
For example: we have heard of gentle
man who having moved into house in Hud.
son street, tilted his chair backward againat
the front wall after dinner, as all Americans
do to enjoy his cigar. The dining room wsS
on the second floor. The wall gave way be-
hind him, and he was spilled into the street,
He was an Alderman, and luckily pitched
upon his head, or, perhaps, he might have
been hurt. He had two hours headache
as it was. When he sought damages in thp
Court of Common Pleas, he was non-suited,
on the ground that living in a house in New
York, he must have been aware of the peril
and was not. entitled TO compensation for
harm of his own wilful or. careless seeking.
A washerwoman in Canal street, going to
drive nail Into the brick Eall Of the next
house, thereto to attach her clothes line,
struck the iron through and through into the
skull of the tenant, who happened to be Ia
king his afternoon nap in the posture OF the
sufferer of the proceeding story, and killed
him as dead as Sisera. She was tried tor
manslanshtcr therefore.

LABOR.

BY EDWARD C. ABBOTT.
Labor, labor-honesl labor
Labor keeps me well and strong:
Labor gives me food and raimeni,
Labor, too, inspires my song!
Labor keeps me ever merry
Cheerful labor is but play;
Labor wrcslles with my sorrow,
Labor drivcth t,ars away.
Labor makes me greet the morning
In the glorious hour Of dawn,
Aud see the hills and valleys
Put their golden garments on.
Labor brings an eve Of Solace,
When my hands their tolls lorcgo,
And across my heart i'll silence,
Cherished streams OF memory flow.
Labor curtains night with gladncss,
Givelh resi- and happy dreams;
And the sleep that follows labor,
With mystic pleasure teens.
Labor ever freely givcth
Lustrous vigor 10 the mind;
Shedding DER ii sunligh, holy,
New ideas | daily find.
Labor brings me all | need
While | work need not borrow
Hands are toiIing for to-day,
Mind is working for tomorrow
Lahor's tools make sweetest music,
As their busy echoes ring;
Loom and wheel, and anvil, ever
Have merry song TO sing.
'Labor-Labor! !" cricth Mature,
"Labor." sing The wheels of Time,
And in their own mystic lan2u"gs
Earth and sky aud ocean chime.
Labor-labor meier be idle,
Labor, labor, while yc can
'Tis the Iron Age Of Labor,
Labor only makes the man!
