STOPPING PAPERS.

The Racine Adpocate sums up as follows
few Of the reasons given by disseminated
people for stopping their paper"
"The same day one man stopped bis paper
because we had an article favoring certain
sect Of religion, another man stopped his, be-
cause-as he said-we had copied an article
which favored the opposite sect One man
got mad and stopped bis pepper because We
had the paper put to press one night, before
we got the price Of whiskey in Buffalo and
New York. Another man stopped his, be-
cause we were so particular as to give the
price of whiskey, and advertise for men who
keep it for sale One man stopped his paper
because we did not say more about the nc.
cessity Of manufacturing at home as means
of prosperity Of place; and bis next neigh
Dor, his. because we advocated the necessity
and importance of another Touring mill in the
place."
Newspaper publishers generally, adds the
Buffalo Rough Notes. will recognize the truth
of the picture. A time comes. however, when
BY diligence and enterprise in making good
paper, all these people must have it, and nil
have it, even although it happensto tread up
on their corns occasionally.

A CHILD,S LAUGH.


The laugh of a child is thing Of unmixed
gladness and never strikes upon the ear O
manhood without awakening thousand
echoes that have fingered in his heart since
the early morning Of bis life. Show me the
man who will pause at the sound Of cbild's
laugh, and we viii show you one in which
there is some remnant Of the angel still"
A childs laugh. fresh note Of music
launched into the grand melody Of life "a
thing that hutters up upon the Invisible PIN
ions of the air, and breaks in playful! ripples
upon the starry shores of''another and bet
ter world where the sounds of sadness never
subslde into signs and where the rough jost-
ling Of years does not break off the golden
frame from the picture Of existence.

now TO MAKE APPLE DUMpLINGs.

Make good paste; pare some large apples;
cut them in quarters take out the cores,
and in them put Glove aud piece Of lemon
peel cut very thin; take piece of crust,
enough for one apple, roll it round, put the
quarters together, and roll the crust round
it with little flour in your hand. Have a
pot Of water boiling take clean cloth. dip
it into the water, shake -four over it, and tie
each dumping by itself, put them in, and
keep the water boiling all the time; if the
apples be not large, half an hour will boil
them. When they are done enough, take
up lay them on dish, throw fine sugar over
them, and send them to the table with fresh
melted butter in a boat. and fine beaten
sugar in a saucer. Some persons boil apple
dumplings without tying them in CLOTH but
they are apt to break and spoil

he must have it padded by hired hands, while

Should he come up again. he finds that be is
abandoned by all, and that be has made a
wreck where he might have made fortune.
Young man or woman paddle your own
canoe. Even if you are favored with parents
and friends who can give you one. be sure you
earn It by the worthiness Of your lives. In
high purposes, in noble resolves. in generous
deeds, in purity and virtuous endurance, and
blamelsss conversation, let your endeavors to
paddle your own canoe be seen by ALL Pull

against the rapids. have another ready. II

and before long you may find yourself in as

COURTESY In RAILROAD CARS.

The New York Sun discourscs upon cour-
tesy in railroad cars, and gives tho following
bint to ladies':
eve venture to say that, II ladies would
only condescend to speak or smile grateful
acknowledgment when gentlemen abandon
their seats to them, all thought Of the compa-
ny's interests would be forgotten, and lady S
entrance in crowded car be welcomed as a
CLEAN of sunshine in cloudy day. The
truth is. too many women are like spoiled
children who snatch favor with frown, and

to have their own way, When smile makes
women invincible, why should they rob man

"Why is it that the rainbow and the cloud
come over us with a beauty that is not Of
earth, and then pass away and leave us to
muse on their faded loneliness Why is it
that the stars hold their festival around the
midnight throne, are set above the grasp Of
our limited faculties, forever hooking us with
unapproachablc glory ? And why is it that
forms of human beauty are presented to our
view and then taken from us, leaving the
thousand streams of affection to flow back in
Alpine torrents upon our own heart We
were bora for higher destiny than that Of
earth. There is realm where the rainbow
never fades, where the stars will be set out
before us like Islands that slumber on the
ocean, and where the beautiful thing that now
passes before us like meteor, will stay in
our presence forever"

WAY-SIDE PENCILLINGS.
TALcAHuANA, CHILL, =. A..
BY LUIS.

The 14th of February, 1852, found us
abreast of the Island of Santa Maria, an ele-
waited, beautiful and very fertile spot, COW
cred, even to the waters edge, with verdan-
cy, and situated about twenty-five miles to
the southwark and westward of Talcahuana.
AS We stood on our north-easterly course,
several small islands opened to our view,
which contrasted strongly with the dreary,
sandy and sterile land around Payta. The
sun was just setting as we hauled up to an
easterly course, and stood in the serpentine
entrance to the harbor; the white sandy
banks, dotted here and there with houses, and
overhung by the thick evergreen growth that
almost encircled the bay, together with the
never-ceasing curls of pearly foam, that decked
the crest Of each wave, as it chased it's leader,
until it spent itself in thousand brilliant cor
uscations, formed blending of colors, that
once seen, is never to be forgotten.
The first object that attracts the strangers
eye as he enters the harbor, is the little town
of Tame, on it's northern side collection
of, perhaps dozen houses, inhabited princi-
pally by the owners and employees of the large
-four mills situated little below. I could
not refrain from picturing to myself the mil
Ter, powdered, even to his eyebrows, and so
jolly. 1t seems to me to be perfectly natural
to connect joviality with the idea of a miller.
The wind failing, we come to an anchor
about five miles from the town, at Z O'Clock,
p. NJ; passing French frigatc, which pro-
we'd to be the Penelope, and which we after
wards found was in quarantine. The follow
ing day was Sunday, and with it came nice
little breeze, which wooed the Commodore
into tripping anchor and beating up, and at
noon we came to, about one and half miles
from shore. At o'clock lieutenant was
sent on shore to report to the Governor, and
at three, midshipman, the boatswain, sail
maker and myself, took boat, and after a
row of about fifteen minutes, sharp pulling,
We were landed, by Bleaching the boat as at
MADEIRA, After lighting some horrid excu-
ses for shavanas," we commenced diligent
search for that bubble on the variable waters
Of life, yclept nopel,y; but alas futilly
We had become nearly an fat to the va
rious parts of the "Elephant" in the South
Pacific, and nothing short of the wonderful
could satisfy our craving for something
new"
We spent the entire evening in promena-
ding through the town, but saw nothing wor-
thy of note; separating at about five, the
midshipman and myself assembled an elevation
overlooking the town, in order to form bet
ter idea of it. The country in the interior is
truly charming but the town is badly laid
out in narrow, dirty streets houses usually
but a story-high; tile roofs; and the inhabi-
tants pretty well sprinkled with foreigners

GO AHEAD.

Go ahead--and do not larry,
Nought is earned by standing still
What though Jon at times miscarry,
Let not fears our bosom fill.
Search the causes Of your errors,
Gather wisdom from the past,
To the wind give the terrors,
And you'll get ahead at last
Go ahead--in useful doings
Let your motto be am try I.
He who ever Is Departing,
Bankrupt hearts and hopes are nigh.
What though you and wealth be strangers.
Onward, upward be your attn.
And those real or fancied dangers,
Soon you'll put your fight to shame.
Go ahead-the world reforming,
In civil, moral, freedoms name,
All those forts and outposts storming,
Which your enemies may claim.
Yield no bulwark, take no quarter,
Compromise no cherished right,
Freedoms treasure never barter,
But send for them with all your might.
Go ahead--don't defer it,
Life's short span soon fits away,
If you'd finish aught Of merit,
You must ply your task to-day.
Set the ball in instant motion,
To keep it going strain each nerve,
Nor doubt that ultimate promotion
viii yield the laurels you deserve.
