would not die In Spring time
When worms begin 20 crawl.
When cabbage plants are shooting up,
And frogs begin TO squail
'Tis then the girls are full Of charms,
And smile upon the men:
When lambs ard peas are ia their prime
lwould not perish then.
would not die in Summer.
When the trees are full of fruit,
And every sportsman has gun,
The little birds to shoot.
The girls then wear the Bloomer dress,
And half distract the men
IL is the time 10 sweat il out:
would not perish then.
would not die in Autumn,
When new mown hay smells sweet,
And the little pigs are roofing round
For something nice to eat:
lis then the huntsman's wild halloo
Is heard along the glen.
And oysters gin to fatten up:
would not perish then.
would not die in Winter,
For one might freeze to death,
When clustering breezes sweep around,
And take away ones breath;
When sleigh bellsjingle, horses snort,
And buckwheat cakes are tall
In fact this is a right good world:
would not die at all!

lively joy throughout the United States, and
was creditable in the highest degree to General
jackson and his brave troops. The courage
Of the American militia and the skill Of their
officers, have seldom been crowned with such
brilliant success.
But the war was now drawing to q close.
The pacifcaton Of Europe, consequent on
the downfall Of Napoleon had removed the
main grievances which led to hostilities-
namely, the impressment of seamen and lille
gal blockades. A negotiation was opened
at Ghent, in the Netherlands, toward the end
of 1914 between the American commissioner
j. Q. Adams, Bayard, Clay. Russell and Gal
latin, and the British commissioners, Gambler,
Goulburn and Adam. On the oath of De
cember, lSl I, treaty Of peace was signed
1t was Immediately ratified by the prince re-
gent and on the 18th of February, 1915. it
was ratified by the Senate of the United
States. This happy event had given satsfac-
ton to all parties, and was welcomed by ex-
pressions of joy on both sides of the Allan
tic. The war had left the United States
deeply in debt aud commerce had suffered
largely. But the honor of the country had
been yindicated and national spirit aroused
throughout the land At the close of the
contest the Unitod States stood higher than
ever in reputation abroad and took a high
rank among the naval powers Of the world

How THE PROCESS OF CoLoRINc GLASS WAS
DIscovERED.--At a meeting Of the Farmers
Club Of the American Institute, Professor
Mapes stated that a few years ago the art Of
staining glass was unknown, when at a club
something like this-only composed Of me-
chanics- member stated that he had stained
glass blue by cobalt, and another that he
could color it red with ease, but not blue,
until others came forward with their facts
applied to other colors, and when all were
combined, the result was a mass Of facts that
has produced the beautiful combinations Of
colored glass, eqaalizing the art when it was
applied to the old cathedral windows, cen
turies ago, in Europe.

An Irish Original


Among the old fish caught by the watch

On being put TO the bar, the watchman

How Folks Differ We chew tobacco,
the Hindoo takes to lime, while the Patago-
nian finds eontcntment in bite Of guano.-
The children Of this country delight in candy,
those Of Africa in rock salt. A Frenchman
goes his length on fried frogs. while an Esqui-
maux Indian thinks stewed candle the

LIFE AND DEArH-Life is fountain fed
by thousand streams that perish if one be
dried. 1t is a silver chord twisted with a
thousand strings that part asunder if one be
broken Thoughtless mortals are surrounded
by innumerable dangers--w which make it
more strange that they must all perish sud
denly at last We are encompassed with ac-
cidents every day to crush the decaying tene-
ments we inhabit The seeds Of disease are
planted into our constitutions by nature
The earth and atmosphere whence we draw
the breath of life are impregnated with
death; health is made to operate to its own
destruction. The food that nourishes CON
tains the element of decay; the soul that
anirnates it by vilifying first, tends to wear'it
out by its own action; death turks in ambush
a'ong the paths. Notwithstanding this truth
is so palpably confirmed by the daily ex-
ample before our eyes, how little do we
lay It to heart. We see our friends and
neighbors die, but how seldom does it occur
to our thoughts that our knell may give
the next warning to the world-Neparl
Mercury.

A STUBBORN JURy-The Portland Tran
script tells good story Of Col NJ, liv-
ing in Washington County, Me- who had
great aptitude for serving as juror. When
thus serving he had very great anxiety that
his opinion should be largely consulted in
making up verdict. Some years ago, while
upon a case, after many hours trial, to agree,
but falling, lac marshaled the delinquent Jury
from the room TO their seats in the Court.

PREPAYMENT OF POSTAGE TO BE MADE BY
STAMPS oNLY--Important- 1t will be recol-
lected that by the Act Of March 3, 1855,
requiring the postage OH all letters not free.
sent by mail within the United States, and
not from or to a foreign country, to be pre-
paid, it was also enacted that from and after
January /, 1856, the Postmaster General
may require postmasters to place postage
stamps upon all prepaid letters upon which
such stamps may not have been placed by
the writers.
We learn that dc Postmaster General has
decided TO require postmasters TO comply nth,
and carry into effect nis prorisioa Of The taac;
and, if not already DONE to supply themselves
with postage stamps accordingly by sending
their order for them to the Third Assistant
Z. NJ. General OF course, il is not inten-
ded nor expected that this regulation shall
throw upon postmasters the labor Of aflixing
to letters where the writers might, without
inconvenience, have done it for themselves.
The main thing is for postmasters to keep
themselves supplied with stamps, that all per-
sons having occasion TO use may readily OBJ
tain them.
