PAPER FROM WooD.-A process has been
brought forward for the manufacture of paper from
wood. The wood is first cut into suitable lengths,
and then carried to a machine to be rasped or CON
yerted into filaments. This machine consists of
segmental frame, provided at its periphery with
number of adjustable holders, for the purpose of
supporting the wood to be operated upon: under
meath this frame circular cylindrical stone is
mounted so as to rotate in contact with the pieces
of wood that carried by the frame-tbe Grind
ing surface being supplied with water for the pur-
pose OF facilitating the operation, and for carrying
away the fbres they are removed by the
grinding operation from the blocks. The wood
having been reduced to the state of
faments, passes through a shute below to a ma
chine which sorts the ibres into different degrees
of ineness, and to free them from extraneous mat
ters. The fibres and water, mixed together are
first fed into riddle or sitter, to which jumping
molten is communicated by means of n cam where
by the pulp is shaken out of it and made to pass,
with some of the water, through the sieve, leaving
all extraneous parts behind The fbres are now
into the first of a series of sorting cylinders
the meshes of which gradually become finer from
the first cylinder to the last-the cylinders being set
in suitable troughs, graduated so that the min
may flow from one to the other.

An item Of news lust now poing the

died in Texas confessed ON his death bed

Of brig on its passage from Charleston

meeting her parent in the darkest days of

ORIGIN OF THE ODD FELLows.--Nany per-
sons who are under the impression that
the society of Odd-Fellows is an origna-
ton of modern times will be somewhat
surprised to learn that its origin dates as
far back as the time Of Nero, and was cs-
tablished by the Roman soldiers in tine
year So. At that time they were called
Fellow citizens" the present name being
given them by Titus Caesar twenty-four
years afterwards, and they were so called
from singular character Of their meetings,
and from their knowing each other 10y
night or day by means Of smystical signs
and language. Bt the same time he gram
ted them a dispcnsation, engraved on a
plate Of gold, bearing different emblems Of
morality. In the fifth century the order
was established in the Spanish dominions,
and in Portugal in the sixth century. II
did not reach France and England until
the eleventh century. 1t was then estab-
lished in the latter country by John de
Neville who, assisted by five knights from
France formed Grand Lodge in London.
This ancient fraternity has now its lodges
in every quarter of the globe, and by its
usefulness and benevolent character, com.
mands the respect and countenance of all
who are acquainted with its nature and
purposes.

Near the lake where dropped the willow,
Long time ago,
Where the rock throws back the billow,
Brighter than snow
Dwelt a maid, beloved and cherished,
BY high and low
But with nutumn's leaf she perished,
Long time ago!
Rock, and tree, and flowing water,
Long timo ago
Bird, and bee. and blossom taught her,
Loves spell to know.
While to my fond words she listened,
Nurmurirg low,
Tenderly hor dove eyes gistened,
Long time ago.
Mingled were our hearts forever
Long time ago,

Ever to flow
She's the sta" | missed from heaven,

USE PLENTY OF GRAyY.-Dr. Dixon in a
late number Of the Sraipci, in an article on
Diet assuming the position that the
use Of oil would decrease the victims of

oil, quotes the following summary of OBJ

the demand upon his ministrations, which

Of this good man a lesson on the impor-

there is reason to believe, was productive
Of much spiritual good. This gentleman
a few years ago was u terrible rcprobate.-
He had a shooting lodge in the Highlands

pressions of self reproach, which of course

fanatic. He is a calm-mindcd man, tho
roughly imbucd with Christian principle,
and profoundly impressed with a sense of
the duty laid upon him Of making known
the great salvation No preaching since
the days of Whitfield, has produced such
a powerful effect upon the popular mind
