THE MINISTER AND THE FIDDLE.

A good story is related, in which DR.
Pond is made to figure quite prominently
On 3 certain day he was waited upon by {
maiden lady of his congregation, who came
to reprimand the esteemed and somewhat
facetious preacher for having bought fid-
die for his son. Scarcely waiting for the
usual Salutations, upon entering the pastors
dwelling, she began as the story goes:
Il think DR.. Pond, that a man of your
age and profession might have had some
thing better to do, when you were in New
London last week, than to buy Enoch a fid-
de all the people we're ashamed that our
minister should buy his son fiddle. A
fiddle Oh, dear, what Is this world COM
ing to, when ministers will do such things!'
WHO told YOU | had bought Enoch tid-
die - inquired the Doctor.
..Who told me! Why every body says so,
and some people have heard him play on it as
they passed the door. But amt it true,
DoctOr!'
y bought Enoch violin when went to
New London"
"A violin! What's that"
''Did you never see one"
''Never.''
"Enoch," said the Doctor, stepping to the
door, "bring your violin here"
Enoch obeycd the command, but no soon
er had he entered with his instrument. than
the lady exclaimed:
Law! now, there; why, it's fiddle"
''Do not Judge rashly," said the Doctor,
giving his son the wink; "wait till you hear
it,
Taking the hint, Enoch played Old Hun
drcd. The lady was completely mystified;
it looked like fiddle, but then who ever
heard Old Hundred played on a fiddle! 1t
could not be. So rising to depart, she ex-
Il am glad came to satisfy myself. La,
me! lust think how people will lie -

each pound of paper in labor, with wastage,
chemicals, Sc, be added, would swell the
cost to S23 625.OO0 to produce $27.O00,O00
of paper, leaving net profits on the total
manufacture of S3.375 900. For the year
ending the Both June, 1855, we imported
400,O03,5I6 pounds of foreign rags, from
twenty-s different ca .ntries. OF this a.
mount, Tuscany, in Italy, supplied l4,OOO,-

2,4G6, 928, England 2,59I,I78. The total
value of the 40,OI3,5l6 pounds imported
was SLIPS, $50. The manufacture of pa
per has outstripped the supply Of materials,
and rope cuttings, hemp waste, and other
articles have been resorted to, but the sup
plies of all have been insufficient to meet
the demand, and prices have been steadily
on the advance. 1t is possible that the
cotton fields of the South may supply an
almost incxhaustible supply Of hemp, SO
that hereafter we shall reach the great de-
sideratum in modern civilization. an ebun-
dant and cheap supply of paper.

Ill LUCIA little bad luck is bencf-
cial now and then. IF Patrick Henry had
not failed in the Grocery business, it is not
at al probable that he would ever have been
heard Of as EN- orator. He might have be-
come celebrated, but it would not have been
for his eloqucnce, but the great wealth he
acquired in speculation in bar soap and
axe handles. Roger Sherman became a
signer of the Declaration of Independence
for no other reason than that he could not
make q living at shoemaking. He cut his
bristlcs and stakcd his ALL on the rights
of man" The consequence was that the
same individual who found it bootless to
make shoes, in few years became a moy-
ing power in our revolution.
