"N lille Mr.. Greeley made slip
Upon the ice, and hurt his hip"
(This chap, who isn't over wise,
"Slps up on every thing he tries
g On dt--that Mrs. S. intends
To give party to her friends"
lOf course the lady can't expect
10 see the President elect
For by his written creed, it seems

Dame Rumor says that Mr.. G.
Gives out in public speeches, he
Is SO disguised with this vile aye,

Tired Razors.

BARRIERS often tell us that razors got tired
Of shayng, but if laid by for twenty days
they will then shave well. By microscopic
examination, it is found that the tired razor,
from. long stropping by the same hand
and in the same directions. has the
ultimate particles of ibres of its surface or
edge all arranged in one direction, like the
edge of piece Of cut velvet; but after a
months rest, these tibres re-arrange them-
selves heterogeneousy, crossing each 9TH
er and presenting saw-like edge, each
fibre supporting its fellow and hence cutting
the beard, insteat; of being forced down fiat
without cuttings. as when laid by. These,
and many other instances are offered to
prove that the ultimate particles of matter
are always in motion, and they say that in
the process Of Welding, the absolute momen-
tum of the hammer causes an ENHANCEMENT
Of orbits of motion, and hence re-arrange-
ment as in one piece; indeed, in the cold
states, leaf Of gold laid on, a polished sur
face of steel, and stricken smartly with a
hammer, will have its particles forced into
the steel, so as to permanently gild it at the
point of contact.

The CASH SYsrEM-The evils Of the
credit system, in minor transactions, are
the experience Of almost every one. The
remarks below apply as we'll to M s. kinds
of business as to publishing:
With publishers Of newspapers, in com
mon with business men generally, the
cash system is preferable to any other;
to publishers who rely, or nearly so, upon
their subscription list for support, they
must necessarily be the loser. There are
thousands of well meaning men, who sub
scribe for newspapers and intend to pay
for them but the idea of writing letter
to an editor enclosing two, three, five and
eight dollars, never enters their heads
though if called upon for the amount due
would probably be prepared to meet the
demand. But the publisher Of almost
every country newspaper knows it would
be out of the question for him to employ a
collector out Of the profits Of his subscrip-
tions so many of his patrons continue
year after year taking the paper without
advancing cent, while he is paying cash
for his printing materials, cash for bis
paper and labor, and everything else nee
essary to carry on business. Here, then,
is loss-not attributed to any design on
the part of the subscribers to defraud, but
the fruit Of worse than worthless system
They would pay if waited upon, but the
printer can not afford to spend five dollar
for collecting three, and never gets hi'
pay.

in the advanced state Of spring that this
animal commences its rounds, which is no
other than :he call or signal, by which the
male and female are led to each other, and
which may be considered as analogous to
the call of birds, though not owing to the
voice of the insect, but to its beating on

to the Ominous cbarac or which it bears

repeated at uncertain intervals, and, in old

To Young Farmers.

One of the most important parts of a
young aSriculturist's professional educa-
tior, is the characteristics, marks, qualities,
and capabilities Of all descriptions of all
live stock necessary for agriculture. Some
knowledge of sketching or drawing live
animals would be highly conductive to
the pupil ascertaining proper idea of
shape and proportion and should there
be IN intelligent butcher in the neighbor-
hood, would re, onmend him to see as
much of his business as he can consistently
with his occupatiou-to weigh the live
animal from its handling, size, and ap-
pearance in his mind attending the slay-
ing of such animals, examining its weight
when dead, and comparing this with his
own opinion of it when alive, would all
lead him to form moro correct and solid
opinions in his future transaction with fat
stock.

ALAS PooR PRINTER The Boston
Traveller makes the following announce
ment:
"Died, in this city, yesterday, William
Adams viual, printer, aged 4e years. The
physician could assign no cause Of death,
but remarked that Mature was worn out.
There are but few printers whose con
stitutions are not worn out long befor,

it is the same with editors, reporters,
proof readers, and in fact with all ho ar.
engaged in the newspaper business. Some
people think that a newspaper life is an
easy one. They are vastly mistaken, a.

all his earthly goods, that s,his provisions,

children in very INDECENT circumstances,
when he went over the Rocky Mountains
to "try his fortune" Brookmire has lately
returned from California, with about sl5,-

German Blood Among Us.

1t is commonly said that the Germans,
unlike all other emigrants, never Yankee
fy, but stay thoroughly German, through
several generations See to what mag
uitude this this isolated man is growing,
however
"The whole number of Germans in the
United States is estimated at 5000, 900,
being over one-fifth and nearly one-fourth
of the whole population Of the country,
which is estimated at 23,OOO,0OO. Of
these five millions of Germans, nine tentbs
are in the free States. Missouri is the
only slave State in which they have settled
in any considerable number. Many years
ago when the Mississippi Valley was
reached most readily by the way of New
Orleans, and the great Northwest was
was comparatively little settled or known,
Mr.. Chateau, who was large land propri-
etor, offered to sell to Germans land in
and around St. Louis, at very low price,
which set the tide of immigration in that
direction. But since the Northwest has
been opened, almos. the entire emigration
from Europe seek their home by the nor
thern route.
"Over 1s3, 900 Germans are settled in
Wisconsin, embracing about one-third Of
the population Of the State. That State,
for few years past, has been regarded by
the German emigrants as, above all others,
the most desirable. In Illinois there are
about 10000 Germans, many Of whom
are found in the counties of Stephenson,
Madison, and St. Clair. In Missouri there
arc about 100000. A very large proper
ton Of the population Of Michigan is
German. A large proportion Of Germans
in the States of Ohio, Indiana, and Mis-
souri, are from Pcnn'ylvania, which has

How to be Beautiful.

Venus, the embodiment of female beauty,
was ancien ly represented as having arisen
from the Sea. This Is another way of say
ing that cleanliness is necessary to beauty.
A hand left unwashed for a few days be-
comes ugly and rcpulSive. If one can
conceive of a face unwashed for a week,
We must imagine very far from beautiful.
A freshly washed face looks more hand
some than at any other time. But it is in
vain to wash the few square inches of skin
We have in sig ght, if the vastly larger area
we cover with our dress is left from day to
day, and week to week, uncleaned from its
constantly accumulating impurities. The
health, and consequently the clearness of
tn skin, rcqurs that every square inch,
n y, every pore, should be in the best con-
ditiOn, aud that can not be if single pore
is left clogged with the impure matter
which is continually passing from the sys-
ten. But the action of water upon the
skin, especially cold water, seems to be
more important even than its first office Of
cleansing impurities. The rain bathes the
lovely rose bush, washes it from the dust,
but it also retreshes and eulivens every
leaf and petal So cold bath not only
cleanses the shin from its impurities, but
gives it tone, strength and snooihness, like
a rose just washed by shower.
Bathing, in all countries where beauty
has been esteemed, and health is the foun-
tain of beauty, has been considered the
fret necessity Of life. have known la

The CASE OF Mas. GAINEs.-It is
said that Mrs. Gaines commenced the
prosecution of her case (which the U. S.
Supreme Court has decided against her,)
about nineteen years ago, when she was
Mrs. Whitney. Subsequently, she married
General Games, who espoused her cause
as we'll as her, and dev jted his fortune to
its promo i,u. General Gaines, expended
in the suit the proceeds Of two estates he
owned-one at Louisville, and tae other
in which he sold for about
100000. lie also expended his pay
and emoiuments, amounting to about six
thousand dollars year. Some of Mrs.
Gaines friends have also advanced consid
erable sums in her aid, being confident
that her title was clear, and would be es-
tablished.
