COMPUTING INTEREsT.-A new mode of COM
putting interest at six per cent, has been pub
lished, which appears very simple. Multiply
any given number of dollars by the number OF
days Of interest desired separate the right
hand figure and divide by six; the result is the
true interest in cents of such sum for such num-
Der of days at six per cent. This rule is so
simple. and so true according to oil business
usages, that every banker broker, merchant
and clerk should post it up for reference and
use. There being no such thing as fraction
in it. there lie scarcely any liability to error or
mistake. By no other arithmetical process can
so decided information be obtained with so
few figures.

century; yet it is well known that he lived more

of several years in Cuba, when he had nearly

A DANGEROUS INK.-An ingenious Partisan
statiOner, who for some years past has taken up
his abode at Sb ngbai, has returned to Paris,
bringing with him curious Chinese invention.
This extraordinary discovery consists In the
composition of u paper which can be made to
last as long as one wishes, by the use of wa
ter or eau naagique The paper must be before
hand prepared, by some means known only to
the buyer and seller, and is then saturated with
the water, which is colorless, tasteess aud
scentless. The length Of time that one desires
She paper to last is regulated by the introduce
ton Of pure water to weaken the effect. For
instance, if the paper Is to be decomposed in
in six days, the eau magique is put on without
adulteralion; il u month, certain quantity of
pure water is to be used. With this paper,
then, the wiley Chinese write their billet dotiI,
taking care, however, that the corrosive water
and their passion shall be of the same weight
The water is called divine Ink" and the pa
per "Exquisite Prudence" If Divine Ink and
Exquisite Prudence take up their permanent
abode in civilized countries, what death blow
twill be to all breaches Of promise suits, which
for the most part, at least, are founded on love
letters, written promises. etc. And then, again,
how many dishonest persons would sign promi-
sorry notes, knowing that thanks TO the encre
diUine, their signature would soon disappear; in
fact, such an invention is most dangerous one,
reversing the present order of things, aud OPEN

THE PLAYMATE.

s. s II
The pines were dark on Ramoth hill,
Their song was soft and low;
The blossoms In the sweet May wind
Were falling like the snow.
The blossoms drifted at eur feet
The orchard birds sang clear;
The sweetest and the saddest day
1t seemed of all the year.
For, more to me than birds or flowers,
My playmate left her home,
And took with her the laughing spring,
The music and the bloom.
She kisied the lips Of kith and kin,
She laid her hands in mine;
What could ask the bashfnl boy
Who fed her father's kline?
She left us in the bloom Of May:
The constant years told DER
Their seasons with as sweet May mOrns,
But she came back no more.

There haply with her jeweled hands

Ne more the homespun lap wherein

The wild grapes wait us by the brock
The brown nuts on the hill,
And still the May day flowers make sweet
The woods Of Follymill
The lilies blossom in the pond,
The bird builds in III tree,

And how the old time seems

Are sounding in her dreams.
