The GRANITE WALLS OF Rus STA. I
The granite walls OF the forts at 30
mersuad turned out to:be mere cast
ings of granite, the interstices o
which were filled Up with all SO rts o.

balls of the allied forces soon tunbled
these humbugs about the ears Q { the

In the New York Times we find c
story of an American in Paris, who
could speak no French, who was in
the habit of shaving himself, and in
variabIy hacked his skin with the ra-
zor. One day, t-belore commencing
to scarify himself, he remembered
that he had no court-plaster, and SO
rang the bell for the servant. OF
course be was obliged to communi-
cate his desires by pantomime. The
servant was Ear from comprehending
with that readiness which character
ICES professional pantomimists and
the principal performers in a ballet.
However it was evident to him that
the gentleman wanted some thing
that would stick, and soon returned
with supply of waters and postage
stamps of various colors and values.
There was no help for it; so the a.
mexican after having shaved and cut
himselfin three places, applied wa
fer to his chin, ten sou stamp to
his cheek, and a sixteen sou one to
his Adams apple. Thus sealed and
be sailed forth into the
street, and was the object of much
laughter and good-humored COM
ment.

Inscribed with deep Affection, to the
Memory of Mary A. Mckinney.

Before thy rosy checks were faded
By ages whitening breath,
Thy silversvoice, all Polite,
+ Was calmly hushed in death.
She calmly suffered here below,
And patiently endured;
She said, the will of God be done,
For she, too, was resigned.
She spoke of the approaching hour
That would dissolve her earthly house,
She knew she had home on high
Where parting is unknown.
Her bright existence from the earth
in active prime was swept,
In own by many, as many mourned,
For all who knew her wept.
Hope was her hemlet, Faith her Shield,
Her sword the Word of God;
Her feet to wisdom's ways inclined,
The path of truth she trod.
Twas onlyin the Holy Book
She consolation found,
And oft within its pages looked
Tolearn her Makers mind.
Hers was tender plying heart
That felt for human woe,
A friend of all, the friend of worth,
Alone to vice foe.
She fingered on brothers name,
She fingered on sisters kiss,
She fingered on each word that made
A home scene Of bliss.
A holy smile lit up her face,
A holy light htup her eve,
a feeble song of praise made light
Her pathway to--on high.
And her sweet voice which once was wont
To raise with ours the solemn hymn,
Is tuned in Heaven to sing the strain
Sung by the lofty seraphim-
Near the life's crystal river flows
The palm, the harp, the victory's crown,
The spotless robe of righteousness
Heavens honors are her own.
This blessed hope revives
Our courage on the way.
While we in expectation live
And long TO meet again.
A FRIEND TO THE DEPARTED.

The scarcity Of rags, rs material for
paper making, has increased to such a
degree in England, that the proprie-
tors Of newspapers have increased the
price Of subscription. In the Uni
ted States, also, similar want of
this material is experienced, and here
as-well as in Great Britain, jbounties
have been offered for a large supply
Of rags or of some substitute that
may serve the purpose. The London
Economist observes : SO great is now
the consumption Of paper by the
reading and writing populationIof the
two countries, that rags enough to
make the required quantity Of paper
eanbot be had. Under these eircum-
stances,a paper manufacturer applied
to the British Government, some time
ago, requesting that steps should be
taken to procure information where
supply could be obtained, and the
Treasury thought the matter SO I'M
.portant, that they laid it before the
Foreign office, and the Foreign Sec
rotary immediately CAUSED circular
to be sent to the consular agents
abroad, directing them to make en-
quiries whether any substances Of
fibr91s and glutinous nature, adapted
to the making of paper, were pro-
duced or could be obtained alta low
price in the countries where they re-
sided. Answers have not yet been
received, but this movement shows
how kecnly the want of rags is felt,
and how important the government
regards the supply.
The cost of paper is becoming
alarming to newspaper men all over
this country. Some of the promi-
nent and hourishing est Adjustments
ia New York city, have been com
PEELED, il consequence Of the increase
in cost, 10 considerably reduce the |
size Of their papers; and Re publish
ers of The Cincinnati papers have
raised The price Of subscription tieenty
per cent, from the same cause. AS
an evidence of the heavy advance,
we will mention that one year ago, /
we purchased the paper on which we
printed, a; ten cents per pd una. Two
weeks ago, we received supply, and
it cost US over tmenty.0ne cents per |
pound! We will add, in this connec- I
ton, that we do not intend to reduce
the size of the ObSerrer, nor to in
crease the price--relying, as we do,
upon the known intelligence and gen
crosby of the people of Lincoln, for
an increased circulation. Who will

He re We present but two views of
this dependence of the North on the
South. We take no account of the
vast quantity of other articles of
manufacture and products of me-
chanical skill and labor, which are
supported entirely by the cotton
planters but content ourselves by
presenting these facts and'propound-
ing to writer's like those of the New
York Tribune the query, what would
become of the Northern States of
the U Mon, if, for one year, the cotton
of the South was cut off, their ships
excluded froIn our ports, and their
manufactures that are now fed by
this product closed? Reverse the
the picture. Suppose the tonnage
of the North to amount to / 100000
was extinguished, and all its cotton
manufactures stopped, would the
South scarcely feel the effects of such
deprivation = could it not fall back
upon its own resources or those of
other nations, and demonstrate the
invincible independence of cotton?
