TEMPERANCE GN.-The Providence Jour.
nal tell u very good anecdote for a strict tenn
perance paper. The town Of Exeter, r. l.,
had very close election for Selectmen, &c.,
in which temperance was the moving ques-
ton, and just before the close Of the polls
five voters of the anti Maine law stripe ar
rived in wagon, and us they proved the bal
anus Of power, deapSsate means had TO be
resorted to. Consequently, the leader of the
temperance party stepped forth and offered
two gallons of gin to the squad if they would
vote his ticket. The offer was accepted, and
the two gallons Of gin elected n temperance
board of town officers.

EHealth is the working mans fortune,
and he ought to watch over il more than the
capitalist over his largest investments. Health
lightens the efforts of body and mind. Iten.
ables man to crowd much work into mar
row space. Without it man is untitled for
the labors, responsibilities, and ehJoyments
of life.

W The Washington correspondent of
the N. Y. Express says:

Mr.. Slideil's plan for the seizure of Cuba
is condemned by the Richmond Examiner, a
leading Democratic journal. The paper also
expresses its desire that the President would
change his cabinet. But it is too late for the
present executive to redeem himself. The
Examiner believes that with better cabinet
he could rally the Democracy again to his
support. This will sound like m absurdity to
all who are aware of the extraordinary def
cheney in Gen. Pierce, Of those high moral
and mental qualities which can alone com
mand for their possessor the confidence and
respect of free and intelligent people.

LIKE THE ACCESSIBILITY! you would
have me like the angels" exclaimed young
girl with whom friend had been talking.
Truly we would have woman like The an.
gels. And why not! Is it any harm to be
like an angel? We read that they are very
beautiful-full oflovc, truth, purity, compass
sionate, sinless. Are these forbiddng traits!
Angels slander not each other. They have
no circles in their glorious home where char
acters are picked to pieces. Angels never
wreath the face with smiles when envy is
gnawing the very heart-strngs in twain
Angels never rejoice over the downfall of
another. Angels lure not with the eye, and
then coldy cast off with the lip. Angels
suffer not passion to paint the brow dark
with discomfort and hatred.
Would you not wish, eventually, to be-
come an angel! Or does this thought never
enter with the multitude that cross the minds
threshold! Why not prepare, then, for this
high destination Why not discipline the
thoughts, and beautiful in good deeds p
Cultivate your affections, be pure in thought,
gentle in spirit. Danish forever deception,
evil speaking, inordinate love of pleasures! !
Why not became, rs near as may be, angels
on earth! All young ladies, believe us when
we tell you there is no harm in striving to be
like angels.

MONEY, THE STNEws OF WAR.-War ean.

abundance Of money and heavy taxation.-
Great Britain always enjoys the latter blessing
without the Government having the former
advantage Hence the war Is already begin.
ming to drain the resources of the govern.
ment, and rs it begins to bear heavily upon
the Bank Of England, there is a great deal Of
restiveness on the part of the financial agents
Of that institution, who are discussing the
question, how far tho bank may loan the
Government coin with justice to its other
creditors. This is difficulty which will in.
crease with the duration of the war. Nicholas
is determined to make the war expensive to
his adversaries, and by retiring within his
own territories he can compel them to incur
all the expense of large armies and fleets,
without deriving much advantage from their
use. 1t will cost them more to watch him
for months, than it will to 6.ss hka; hence,
they nre tor deutsive battles had quick cam.
paign, while he Is for avoiding pitched battles,
and pro!onging the war. When he has ex.
hausted the allies, he can renew with greater
hopes Of success his efforts against tho Turks
This shows how pertinent is the discussion
in England, whether the war will b. short
one or not. 1t has most important bearing
upon the financial affairs of that kingdom
affecting not only its own commercial inter.
ests, but those of other countries intimately
connected with them in trade and business.

rumors afioat as to the object of these Sc
cret movements; prominent among, themTis
one that the Irish companies inlthat Brig
ade are organized for the purpose of max
ing it an Irish Brigade, to be under The
command of Irish officers. Such organi-
cations have created so much bad feeling
in New York, and been denounced blythe
entire press ofthat city. The following is

met Guards, Richmond Artillery, Captain
Cullen; Maraypnk Rifles, CaptaJ. Oonroy;

How INDIA RUBBER SHOES ARE MADE
The New York Journal Of Commerce, in an
interesting article on the manufactures oil
Connecticut, gives the following account
of the manner in which India Rubber Sho.s
are made:
Contrary to the general impression, In.
dia Rubber, in the process Of manufactur.
ing, is not melted, but is passed through
heated iron rollers, the heaviest of which
weigh twenty tons, and thus worked or
kneaded, as dough is at q bakery. The
rubber is nearly all obtained from the mouth
of the Amazon, in Brazil, to which pointit
is sent from the interior. It's form, upon
arrival, is generally that of Aug or pouch,
as the natives use clay moulds Of that
shape, which they repeatedly dip into the
liquid caoutchouc, until q coating of the
desired thickness aocumulates, when the
clay is broken and emptied out.
The rubber, after being wasl ed, chop.
ped fine, and rolled to a putty like consis,
tenoy, is mixed with a compound Of me,
tallic substances, principally white lead
and sulphur, to give it a body or firmness,
The sheets designed for tho soles Of the
shoes are passed under rollers having q
diamond figured surface. From these the
soles are cut BY hand, and the several
pieces required TO perfect the shoe are put
together by females, on a last. The nat.
ural adhesion Of the rubber joins the seams.
The shoes are next vanished. and baked
