learns from Hull, England:
Several days ago Hungarian
exile died hero of starvation. He
tried to;ssipport himselfand family by
teaching German, but did not succeed
and gained only three shillings during
the last few wecks.of his existence
He did not wish to beg, but the child
had TO befed:. The+mother, therefore
starved herself, and the father died
from the want ofbread. He went I'm
der the name of DIR. Reck, but was
the son of Count Werkinski, and had
to fly, with: many others, in 1S49, from
Hungary. 1t is said that he receiv-
ed over two thousand pounds sterling
from home, which he lost in specula-
ton in England. He then went to
Holland, but soon returned to Eng.
land, where he died as already stated
The most remarkable fact is, that his
fneighbors had no idea of his poverty,
because part Of his small earnings
was spent in white washing the out.

Country Papers.

Country papers are ofmuch more
use than people imagine. i
i J They very materially aid in dirce-
ting puplic attention to matters in
which every citizenref the county is
more or less interested. o..
They contribute in a variety OF
ways to the formation Of puplic inter
ests. III H. II =. r.
They stimulate a taste for reading
and disseminate, in the course of one
year, a vast amount Of useful infor-
nation, much of which would not
reach portion of the readcs through
any other channel. ....,.
They arc Of essential in a familysin
fostering a taste for reading samong
children. County papers enjoy an
advantage over other papers publish
+ ed at distance, because many Of their
items are of local interest, which
naturally attracts a child's attention.
The advertising columns of these pa
pers arc particularly attractive to this
clsss5of readersrThey are of essen
: tial service to publishing various
items of1ocal intelligence, in which
the citizens are more or less interes-
ted. but of which many would remain
uninformed, were itnot for these pa
pers. Ill 7 H. h, .
/. In short the county papers add. in
a variety of ways, to the character,
intelligence and prosperity of the
, county in which they are published;
and therefore have a strong claim for
support upon all who are directly or
indirectly benefited by them.
As to the objection we not unfre-
quently hear urged against the sup
port Of county papers, that the price
charged for them is too high, it may
be relied, that the price at which it
can be afforded, depends mainly up
on the number of subscribers. The
chief expense in the publication of a
paper consists in settling up the mat
? ter. One thousand, or even ten
thousand copies can be furnishedat at
very small addition to the cost over
and above the cost of composition.

How roLook Se.-How is it
that some young men thought to be
SO old, still look so young, while others
thought yonng must still look old?-
The cause lies Very frequently in them
selves. Mr.. Rant once, on being ask
cd the reason, said:-"I never ride
when I can walk; l never eat but one
dish at dinner, never get drunk
Ny walking keeps my blood in circu-
Iation; my simple; diet prevents indi-
gestion; and never TOUCHING ardent
spirit, my liver never fears being eaten
up alive" But he forgot to add one
oftfe greatest causes OF lasting youth,
"a kind, unenvious heart" Envy
will destroy the youthful appearance
Of a face as much astime itself.-C0n-
cord freeman. -
