edge the reception Of this, as it is entirely
from an unsupported source. have two
small items which ! have been requested
to send TO your Office for publication, BY
sons Of your most worthy patrons.
The question, or rather mathematical
problem, is said to have tested the skill
of several able mathematicians, who
unanimously failed to give correc
answer.
What is the gross weight of a hog tina
nets.l50 lbs? Answer, 1856 81.
In order to ascertain the true answer
to all such question, you must first take
the gross Of the first hundred, which is
IS lbs, and subtract the neat Of the first
from the weight of the hog, and multi
ply the remainder by s, and divide the
quotient by 7, and it will give the gross
weight of the second hundred, which is
easily proven to be correct, by taking the
eighth Of the amount which you have got
for the gross weight Of the second hum

A Recipe for Hoppiness.--One of
the wealthy merchants of our city,
whose death the past year was uni
versalIy mourned, often told his friends
an anecdotc which occurred in his
own experience, and which was rec
commended to all those who wish to
enjoy serene old age without allow
ing their wealth to disturb their peace
of mind. He said that when he had
obtained his fortune he found he be-
gan to grow uneasy about his pecuni-
airy affairs, and one night, when he
was about sixty years of age, his sleep
was disturbed by unpleasant thoughts
respecting some shipments he had just
made. In the morning he said to him
self: This will never do, if | allow
such thoughts to gain the mastery over
me, must bid farewell to peace all
my life. will stop this brood Of care
at once and at a single blow -
Accordingly, he went to his counting
room and upon examination found he
had $4,000 in money on hand. He
made out a list of his relatives and
others he desired to aid, and before he
went to bed again he had given away
every dollar OF the thirty thousand
He said he slept well that night, and
for long time after his dreams were
not disturbed by anxious thoughts
about his vessels or property.-Boston

All Connected Together

A southern journal illustrates the
dependencies of society by dialogue
between a father and his little daugh-
ter, whom he overheard expressing
the wish that "the rivers would rise"
In surprise he asked her what she had
to do with the rivers rising. "A great
DEAL" she replied, 'for then the boats
would run" lie continued to press
the inquiry until he had got all the
links of her chain of reasoning, which
were, that when her father had sold
the cotton which the boats would
bring down, he could pay her mother
that twenty dollar gold piece he bor-
rowed Of her. she could pay sister
Jane the dollar she promised to give
her on New Years, but didn't because
she had no money. Sister Jane would
pay brother John his fifty cents, and
he said when he got it he would give
me the half dime he owes me, and
two dimes to buy marbles; and that
is what | want the river to rise for and
the big boats to run"

raj Qcd petticoaD style is having in
this country, patriotic Yankee thus
appeals to the patriotism of Yankee
girls to adopt costume of their own:
Once in a while why can't we have
A truly Yankee notion!
Nor such profound allegiance pay
To fashions cross the ocean,
What could be finer now than this,
(And mark ye, too, how dashingD
A petticoat red, white and blue,
With silver stars all flashing!
Then hang the Yankee colors out,

THE GIRL THAT NEVER SMILES
NO MORE.

While by her side | sit,
And talk about the dreary shore;
Blessed said she, be the Holy Writ,
For | shall smile no more.
And in sorrow was her doom,
Far out on that dreary shore,
Where she was yelled in gloom,
And could not smile no more.
But for her relief / went
To far distant moor,
And to the letters was | bent,
Yet for this, she smiles no more.
And of hope did I despair,
FOR it was more than mortals bore,
TO lose q friend half so fair,
That never smiles no more.
And is there one. that | can find,
That will prove forever more,
TO lei this bear upon the mind,
As long as she smiles no more?
So Mary is the girl
That smiles upon the poor,
But upon the humble Earl
She's resolved TO smile no more,

Who does not want one like it ?--Shel.
JypiAe EGpOSitor.
The Expositor man seems to love
babies--cspecially fat ones-and SO
"carried away" is he, as to suppose
every body else loves the squalling
brats. Now, as for our part, we don't
believe babies are loved 1.-THE as
much as some people try to make the
world believe. What peculiar fascin-
alton is there in 5abiesN They can't
talk plain enough for any one to I'M
derstand them, and they have to be
continually nurscd and cared for with
devotion and cautiousness that TO
us becomes pestilerous and tiresome
indeed. And then to hear the "good
natured" things squall. Why it makes
us mad to hear a baby cry; and how
often too are our ears unwelcome
listeners to their wines. Go to
church. and often lines one fails to be
benefited by the sermon, because the
noise of some cross child or baby
browns the voice Of the preacher.
Talk about a baby being "good ma
tured" 1t is good naturcd as long as
its mouth is overlooking with pap, or
crammed with sugar, and even then
its unearthly yells cannot be stilled,
and its mother is often compelled to
slap its little jaws till they become as
erubesccnt as ripe Strawberries. If
we had to deal with babies, we'd
lay them down on the floor and go off.
But the Expostor says it is pity
he Qhe baby can't remain always fat
and saucy. What talk Surely, Mr..
Expositor, you are joking! Why the
knowledge that babies will grow up
10 be big enough to clean their own
eyes and wash their own faces
and hands, and don' and don their
own clothes, without aid from others,
is all in the world that could make us
regret to sec the Ilindoo ladies sacri-
flee their little "churubs' to the mcr-
cy Of Gauges rolling waves. The
editor Of the Expositor certainly hasn't
got any baby, else he wouldn't be such
a decided advocate of them. nor would
he have the anrontcry to ask at the
close Of his paragraph, "who docs
not want one !" Well, we don't, GER
ain. and we venture TO sag, every
mother in the land, who reads this,
will give the Journal credit for more
sense in this respect than most of
'olks.
