SuLPHUR.-This mineral product is the key
which opens the door to chemical manufactures
From it we make sulphuric acid, foil of yitrioi,
and without sulphuric acid many Of the largest
factories would cease to exist. By its aid we
are able to produce 50 many snbstances, that
the bare mention Of them wouid fill the whole
paper Bleaching, dyeing, soda making, metal
refining, electro-plating, electro-telegraphing,
&C., are primarily indebted to this acid. Many
Of the most valued medicines could not be made
without it--sach as ether, calomel, &c. Sulphur
being the chief ingredient Of gunpowder, modern
warfare could not 60 on comfortably without it.
A people that does not possess lucifer matches
stands beyond the pale Of civilization; vet
matches cannot be made without sulphnr-not
because matches are dipped into melted brim-
stone before they are clipped" with the phos-

cause this very material could not be made with
out the indirect use Of sulphur. In England we
consume sixty thousand tons of sulphur annually,
which is imported g this country from the vol
canic regions Of Sicily 1sef political reasons,
export Of sulphur to any Of the kingdoms now
at war. Reckoning the value Of sulphur at E5
per ton, implies loss Of E30O, O00--s pretty

READING A LOVE LErTER.-An incident of
simplicity is afforded by the following little
story, told to contemporary by friend, in
whose words it is given:
Molly, our housemaid, is q model one, who
handles the broomstick like . sceptre, and who
has an adherence for dirt and sympathy for
soapsuds that amounts to passion. She is a
busting, bright-eyed, rosy checked Hibernian,
who hoEers about our bookshelves, making war
upea our papers, aud goes about thirsting for
new worlds to conquer in the shape Of undusted
and unrighted corners. III
One day she entered our library in confused
and uncertain manner, quite different from her
usual busting way She stood at the door,
with letter between her thumb and finger,
gunpowder plot in her grasp. In answer to our
iaquiriesa as to her business, she answered:
~ An, phase yer honor, I am poor girl, and
ha'nt much larnin', and ye sees, phase yer
honor, Paddy O'Reilly, and the better than him
doesn't live in ould Ireland, has been after
writin' Of me letther-A love letther, phase yer
honor; an'-an'-."
We guessed at her embarrassment, and
offered to relieve it by reading the letter. Still
she hesitated, while she twisted piece Of raw
cotton in her fingers: a.s
Shnre," she resumed; s<aa' that's Just
what want, but it isn't gentleman like
yerself that would be knowing the secrets
between us, and SO" here she twisted the COTTON

We hadn't the heart to refuse her; and with

The pin is then taken out, and the cavity grad
