His griefs and Joys. his hopes and fear,
Produced in me like emotion,

Through slcepless nights and days Of

To learn thih truth Rt last, that Fame
Is but an empty, air.blown bubble;
MY friend sought wealth and often wrote
That he was rich and loved me dearly;
And always closed his friendly note
With, "Yours most truly aud sincerely"
Ard once he wrote "My dear old chum,
If yeu are short--now don't be silly
Just drop the line, and name the sum
To me, your friend aud crany Willie"
But still had a foolish pride,
To keep from him my little pinches;
We like, II possible, to hide
Our wants from one who never Ainches.
And thus labored late aud long,
Until my hopes aud nerves were shattered
Until my health, which never strong,

THOMAS PAINE.-In recent article in
the National Recorder, Washington y the
follow cut is found against Thomas Paine
and his doctrine It is too good to be lost:
"A gentleman of New York found Thom-
as Paine one evening haranguiug a company
of his disciples, on the great mischief done
to mankind by the introduction of the Bible
and Christianity. When he paused, the
gentleman addressed him thus :.sMr. Paine,
you have been in Scotland; you know there
is not more rigid set of men in the world,
than they are in their attachment to the Bi-
Bile tits their school book, and their church
es are full of Bibles. When young man is
leaving his fathers house, his mother always,
in packing his chest, puts Bible on the
top of his clothes Mr. Paine assented, and
the gentleman continued: You have been
in Spain, where the people are destitute Of
the Bible, and where you can hire man
for a dollar to murder his neighbor who nev-
er gave him any offence Mr.. Paine assent
ed, and the gentleman continued again -
you have seen the manufacturing districts
in England, where not one man in fifty can
read, and you have been in Ireland, where
the majority never saw Bible. Now you
know it is historical fact, that in one coun.
ty in England or Ireland there are many
more capital convictions iu six months, than
there are in the whole population Of Scot
land in twelve. Besides, there is not one
Scotchman 10 the Aims House, State Prison,
Bridgewell, or Peuitentiary of New York.
Now, then, if the Bible were so bad book
as you represent it to be, those who use it
it would be the very worse members Of So
ciety; but the contrary is the fact; for our
prisons, Aims Houses, and Penitentiaries
are filled with men and women, whose ig-
norance or unbeief prevented them from
reading the Bible 1t was ten o'clock at
night, Paine answered not word, but tax
ing a candle from the table, silently retired
to his chamber.

The USES OF PApER.-A writer in Black.
woods Magazine, says it is wonderful to'see
the thousand useful, as well as ornamental
purposes to which, paper is applicable in the
hands Of the japanese. BE says he sag j
made into materials 50 closely resembling
Russian and Morocco leather and pig akin,
that it was very difficult TO detect the dit
ference. With the aid of lacker Farnish
and skilful painting, paper made exe,ellent p,el
trunks, tobacco bags, cases, saddles, telescope
cases, the frames Of miscroscopes and: he
even saw and used excellent waterproof
coats made Of simple paper, which kept ont
the rain and were as supple as the best Me.
Intosh. The japanese use neither silk nor
cotton handkerchiefs; towels nor busters;
paper in their hands serves an excellent sub-
stitute. It is soft, thin, tough, ofs pale
yellow color, very plentiful and cheap. The
inner walls Of many Japanese apartment y .art
are formed of paper, being nothing more
than painted screens, their windows are COW
cred with fine translucent description Of
the same material; it enters largely into the
of nearly everything in sJss
panese household. he saw what seemed 10
be balls of twine, but which we're noth-
ing but long shreds of tough paper rolled up,
If shop.keeper had parcel to tie up, be
would take strip Of paper, roll it quickly qluuiieskl
