Frozen PuMP.-An exchange says
j "a pump, from negligence, gets frozen,
it is a. very easy matter 10 thaw IT out.
Some will heat iron bars and put them in,
aud some wil9ipur in salt. Either Of
these will do the work il one has patience,
but the quickest aad easiest way is to
use a three-fourlhs.inch pipe and boiling
bot water A pump that is frozen ten
feet solid may be thawed in ten minutes
by having pipe TO reach ms low as it is
frozen. Put one end of the pipe down
the pump upon the ice. Put tunnel in
the other end, and pour 10 boiling hot
water, aid the way the pipe settles down
is caution 10 the one tIlM holds. The
current Of no, water acting on the ice
does its work and rises outside. A bar
rel of bot water may be turned in with
ont a pipe, aud il will penetrate very

ARTIFICIAL WASrs.-Bulwer saws th

ARTIFICIAL WANTs.-B Bulwer says that
poverty is only an idea, in nine cases out
of ten Some men With len thousand
dollars year suffer more for want Of
means than Others with three hundred.
The reason is, the richer man has artificial
wants. His income is ten thousand, and
he suffers enough from being dunned for
unpaid debts TO kill sensitive man. A
man who earns dollar day, and does
hot run 10 debt, is the happier Of the two.
! Avery few people who have never been
rich, will believe this, but it is true as
Gods word. There are, thousands and
thousands with princely incomes, who
never know moments peace, because
they live above their means. There is
really more happiness IN the world among
working people than among those who
are called rich.lo tiues jm 1fe sa.
