"They' say theowllwss baker sdaughtef.
.D ai~@. ~,..re II Hamlet
Our friend "specs" had his say ON the subject of
bread on Saturday last, and now we propose to
have ours. ...,t
We agree with him that bread making and
bread selling should be left free to competition and
common sense. We doubt not that If thus left un-
restricted the tastes of all kinds OF customers could
be better suited than under the operation OF laws
requiring uniform weights and prices.
But Specs is, in our opinion, not good do
nestle economist, or he would not urge bread
making as family business, ON the ground Of
economy, II is no more economical than would be
the manufacture of our own cloths and linens
There is no person, white or black, who could not,
at any other kind Of labor, earn more money in
the time consumed in baking than is thus saved
We will take the data furnished by "Specs" TO
prove this. He says:
tThe writer, with family Of eight persons,
(adults,) consumes but barrel Of flour in five
six weeks, while supply of bakers bread for the
same time would cost not less than eight or nine
dollars"
Now, let US jingle that penny saved" that is
''twopence gaincd.'' The barrel Of superiine -four
will cost six dollars. eight to nine dollars we
will take To mean eight and half.

Startling Exhibition of Oxygen
in Beef Cart.

On Friday morning of last week, an
honest teamSter came into the city from
Brighton with his usual large wagon load
of prime beef, which he deposited at Quin-
cy Market, and started on his return. As
he came in, the morning being cool, he
wore an overcoat: but as the sun was up
as he went back, he DOTTED the coat, and
threw it under his seat in the wagon
He drove cheerily on until he had passed
the classic grounds at Cambridge, and
was upon the Watertown road, when sud-
denly he experienced "A burning sensation
in his legs and feet, and on looking about
him TO discover the cause, found that his
wagon was all on fire, and threatened
with speedy destruction The unctuous
ncrustation which had gathered upon the
inside of the wagon in its long use in
carrying beef to market, was already in
a sheet of fame; but the afirighted team
ster retained sufficient of his senses 10
know that he could not clear, but would
rather increase the danger by "fast drIv-
Ing" to get home, and wisely concluded
to stop and extrcate his team, at least,
from the peril which was Fastening upon
them. Fortunately, a couple of men who
saw the novel spectacle came up at this
Juncture, and, after the horses were un~
harnessed, water was procured and ap>
piled to the wagon in season TO save it
from serious injury although it was much
charred and blackened, and thus cppar-
emily turned into coal cart The Incl
dent arose from the ignition of bunch of

D! sing me one song of thine,
One song before we part,

Its music in my heart.

A song of early JOY,
Such as a fair haired maiden sings
To win her much loved boy.
0 sing to me the song I heard,
The other day, at noon,
When it same to ne like a warbling bird.
And ceased as short and soon.
Bashfully that song was still,
For started from out the trees;
So the bird is hush, when the bramble bush
StiFs with the passing breeze.
Turn not so tearfully away

With any thing but hope and JOY
In the swelling of my heart
Look up to me with laughing eyes
We shall meet again. ere long;
And then the greeting shall have,
VIII be thy gentle song.
So sing to me that song Of Joy,
That song of summer bowers,
Murmuring like the soft warm breath
Of a soft wind over flowers.

My token as part,
And so will bear away with me
Thy music in my heart.

The Pig and the Mocking-Bird.

Mr.. Gosse, in his history of the birds
of Jamaica. gives an amusing account OF
the hooking bird. The hogs are, it seems
the creatures that give him the annoy
ance. They are ordinarily fed upon the
inferior oranges, the fruit being shaken
down to them in the evening: hence they
acquire the habit of resorting to the or
ange tree to wait for lucky windfall.-
The hooking bird feeling nettled at the
intrusion, flies down, and begins to peck
at the hog with all his might. Piggy not
understanding the matter, but pleased
with the Utilization, gently lies down and
and turns up broadside to enjoy it. The
poor bird gets into an agony Of distress,
pecks und pecks again, but increases the
enjoyment Of the luxurious intruder, and
is at las, compelled to give up in des>
pair.

The strength of an elephant is equal
to its bulk. for it can with great ease draw
a load that six horses cannot move: il
can readily carry upon its back three CT
four thousand pounds weight; upon its
tusks alone II can support near thous>

velocity OF its motion compared with the
mass of its body. 1t can go in It's ordin-
airy pace as fast as horse at an easy trot,
and when pushed it can move as swiftly
as horse at full galop. 1t can travel
with ease fifty or sixty miles day. and
when hard pushed almost double that dis.
