PAYING SUBSCRIPTION FOR A NEWSPAPER,
is regarded by some people as very unimportaut
matter. They have an idea that the small a.
mount they owe, the printer cannot be greatly
in need of, and it will do to be paid whenever
surplus of money, is on hand for which they
have no use, or whenever it is particularly
convenient to do so. Some day they expect
to call and pay at the Office, or they will wait
until collector calls and if they have the
money, they will pay him. The argue, that if
the printer wants his money very badly, he
will send for it-he will send from FIVE to
twenty miles for two dollars, and if he waits
until the end of the year and pays big COM
mission for collecting, that's his look out
This is the way many people who take news
papers talk, but fortunately not all, not half OF
the whole number, for if they did, there would
be an end to newspaper publishing except on
cash principle. Yes, there are too many
right-thinking people, who have different an
honester view of their duty under the circum-
stances, and it is them the printer has to rely
on for cash to carry on his business. 1t is to
be hoped, however, that subscribers generally
will soon adopt this correct course; that they
will pay promptly in advance for their papers,
and never allow the printer to send after il
and pay for getting it t!-Erclangs Paper.

n man to turn the fly wheel and n boy to feed the
sheets.
The linking Apparatus is very complete, and diff
fers from the apparatus used in Cylinder Presses
generally, being more like that used in the Power
Platen Presses. Two rollers pass over the form
twice to each impression, taking ink for each sheet

any woman during the present year can marry
any man she pleases-provided he be willing.
One of the authorities writing in l600-lays
the law down as follows:
Albiet it is nowe become part of the COM
mon lave, in regard to social relations Of life,
that as often as every bissextile year doth re-
turn, the laydes have the sole privilege, dur
ing the time it continueth, of making love un-
to the man, which they do either by wurdes
or lookes as to them it seemeth proper; and
moreover, no man will be entitled to the ben
eft of the clergy who dothe refuse to accept
the offers of ladve, Or who doethe in any wise
treat her proposal withe slight or contumely.

EFFECTS OF HEAT UPON MEAT.

A we'll cooked piece of meat should be full
of its own juice or natural gravey. In roast
ing, therefore, it should be exposed to a quick
fire, that the external surface may be made to
contract at once, and the albumen to coagu-
late, before the juice has had time to escape
within. And SO in boiling. When piece of
beef or mutton is plunged into boiling water,
the outer part contracts, the albumen, which
is near the surface, coagulates, and the inter-
nal juice isprevented either from escaping in
to the water by which it is surrounded, or
from being diluted or weakened by the admis-
sion of water among it. When cut up, there
fore, the meat yields much gravy, and is rich
in flavor Hence beefstake or mutton chop
is done quickly and over qui, fire, that the
natural juices may be retained. On the other

MAKING A NEEDLE.

wonder If any little girl who may read this
ever thought how many people are all the time
at work in making the things which she every
day uses What can be more common, and
you may think, more simple, than a needle !!
Yet, if you do not know it, I can tell you that
it takes great many persons to make needle
and good deal of time too.
In going over the premises we must pass
hither and thither and walk into the next
street and back again, and take drive to a
mill, in order to see the whole process. We
find one chamber of the shop is hung round
with coils of bright wire, Of all thicknesses,
from the stout kinds used for Goldfish hooks
to that of the finest cambria needles In a
room below, bits of wire the length of two
needles are cut by vast pair of shears fixed
in the wall. A bundle has been cut off; the
bits needs Strengthening, for they have just
come off from coils The bundle is thrown
into red-hot furnace and then taken out and
rolled backward and forward on table until
the wires are straight. This process is called
"rubbing straight" We saw mill for grind.
ing needles. We go down and find needle
pointer seated on his bench. He takes up
two dozen or so of the wires and rolls them be-
tween his thumb and fingers, with their ends
on the grindston, first one end and then the
other. We have now the wires straight and
pointed at both ends. Next is a machine
which fattens and cutters the heads of ten
thousand needles in an hour. Observe the
little cutters at the head ofyour needle. Next
comes the punching of the eyes, and the boy
who does it, punches eight thousand an hour,
and he does it SO fast your eyes can hardly
keep pace with him. The splitting follows,
which is running fine wire through dozen,
perhaps, of these twin needles.
A woman, with little anvil before her,
files between the heads and separates them
They are now complete needles, but rough
and rusty, and what's worse, they easily bend.
A poor needle, you will say. But the harden
ing comes next. They are heated in patches
in a furnace, and when red-hot, are thrown in
a pan Of cold water. Next, they must be tenn
pered; and this is done by rooling them back.
ward and forward on hot-metal plate. The
polishing still remains to be done On vc-
ry coarse cloth needles are spread to the num-
Der of forty or fifty thousand. Emery dust is
strewed over them, oil is spriukled, and the
cloth is then rolled up, and with several 9TH
ers of the same kind, thrown into a sort Of
wash pot to roll to and fro for twelve hours or
more. They come out dirty enough; bit after
riusing in clean hot water, and a tossing in
saw dust, they look as bright as can be, and
are ready to be sorted and put up for sale
But the sorting and doing up in papers, you
may imagine, is quite work by itself

ALL MANKIND ARE BARRIERS.

ALL mANAlND ARE BARRIERS.
I'll prove to you, my friend, hope,
That none doubt can barber,
That oil the worlds barbor shop,
And every man barber.
Some shave to make themselves look neat,
And some because It's funny;
And brokers shave you In the street,
And only shave for money.
Some shave their forehsads slick and clean,
1fwith low heads they're bothered.
But then It's plainly to be seen,
That they're the ones that lsthered.
To court q girl with eloquence,
The dandy never frets her:
But lathers her with compliment,
And shaves he, when he gets her.
The msidens also, now and then,
Who are so fond ofsporting,
Soft soap the shallow minded men,
And shave 'em while they're courting.
- But men and girls who thus will boast.
Ofsoaping while they tarried,
viii find ut last with bitter cost,
, That both got shaved when married.

THRILLING VERSES.

The circumstances which induced the VIII
ting of the following touching and thrillin
lines are as follow: A young lady of Ne,
York was in the habit of writing for the Phil
adelphia Ledger on the subject of Temperance
Her writing was so full of pathos, and evir
ced such deep emotion Of soul, that frien
of hers accused her of being maniac on tn
subject of Temperance-whereupon she wrot
the following lines:
Go feel what have felt.
Go bear what have borne -,
Sink meath the blow father dealt,
And, the cold worlds proud scorne;
Then suffer on from year to year
Thy sole relief the scorching tear.
Go kneel as have knelt,
Implore, beseech and pray
Strive the besotted heart to melt,
The downward course to stay;
Be dashed with bitter curse aside,
Your prayers burlesqued, your tears dehed.
Go weep as have wept,
Ger o loved fathers fall
See every promised blessing swept
Youths sweetness turned to gall
Life's fading flowers strewed all the way,
That brought me up to woman's day.
Go see what have seen,
Behold the strong man bowed
With gnashing teeth lips bathed in blood,
And cold and livid brow;
Go catch his withered glance and see,
There mirrored his souls misery.
Go to thy mothers side,
And her crush'd bosom cheer;
Thine own deep anguish hide;
Wipe from her cheek the bitter tear;
Mark her worn frame and wither'd brow;
The gray that streaks her dark hair now;
With fading frame and trembling limbs;
And trace the ruin back to him.
Whose plghted faith, in early youth,
Promised eternal love and truth,
But who forsworn, hath yielded up,
That promise to the cursed cup;
And led her down, through love and light,
And all that made her prospects bright,
And chain'a her there, mid want and strife,
That lowly thing, drunkard's wife
And stamp'd on childhoods brow so mild,
That with'ring blight, that drunkard's child.
Go hear, and feel, and see, and know,
All that my soul hath felt and known,
Then look upon the wine-cup's glow,
See if its beauty can atone
Think ifits favor you will try,
When all proclaim " tis drink and die!"
Tell me HATE the bowl
Hate is feeble word;
Iloathe-ABHoR-ny very soul,
With strong disgust is stirr'd,
