the Italian Parliament prohibiting the export
alton Of boys as singers and organ grinders.
Yet these same singers and organ grinders
nuisances that they are 10 persons of cultivat-

barefoot, whose sister has no piano, whose
father has no pew at church, and who never
heard Of concert or an opera, hears. Bad
luck to the man VINO would deprive the rag

millionaire and the respectable classes gener-
ally can do without the barrel organ very well
but to the small youth who knows no other
music, it is glorifed instrument

Cut Worms.

When the corn first appears above the
surface of the ground, cut alder bushes
and strew them over the field about rod
apart, placing them as near the corn hill
as possible. If the worms are plenty, In
a day or two you will find them gathered
about the bushes when you can destroy
them. They will leave the ground and
crawl under the alder bushes and the
corn will escape. This remedy is simple
and easy and requires but little time ; all
can be done during the leisure hours
which every farmer sometimes has. l
have tried this remedy and found it very
effective Farmers would do well, though
to plow ground in the fall when the ex-
posure of the soil to the cold of winter
will kill the insects which produce the
worm.

A Singular Case,

A Montrose merchant was called upon
few days ago by stranger, with long
paper In his hand. Supposing it to be
subscription list for some benevolent OBJ
ject, he took it, and running over the
names soon found his own among them.
The man then explained. Some eleven
years ago, citizen of this county was
burned oat; and his friends started a.
subscription paper, unknown to him, aud
raised three or four hundred dollars for
him. Having since been prospered, he
now insists on returning, with interest,
every dollar so presented to him; and he
has been recently in town searching out
the parties answering to his list, and
actually compelling them to accept of the
amount they gave for his benefit eleven
years ago. We understand that this sim
gular man is named John johnson, and
that he is citizen of Lathrop Township.

Wearing Away.

All things are wearing away,-noth-
ing is everlasting. The rocky sides of
the river which resist the cutting of
chisel, yield to the overpowering hold
and continual stroke of the sweeping cur
rent or the breaking waves. The over
tapping stones of the mountain, steel-clad-
like, defying impregnation through any
attempt Of man, challenging any mcchani-
cal power to move them from their sia-
tionary positions, hung in their ponderous
weight, are Intellectual in resistance to
that continued, yet imperceptiable, weak
ening of their vast bulk, and finally give
away to the never-dying power of time
and crunble to dust. Trees, animals,
and all things that live-all material SUBJ
stances are wearing away.
Everything is wearing away. Old Gus
toms, fashions, and habits wear out of use
and form the deep hidden strata of those
numberless things that were, but that are
overspread with what is new and exercis-
ed by us to-day. Principals around which
were hung all the adornments that the
brilliant intellects of philosophers could
manufacture are numbered with the past
as sophisms useless to transmit to futur-
ity, and incapable of standing the wear of
time. They soon proved cracked and
worthless, and were but talismanic to
some circumstance, but with its death
they departed.
Doctrines around which were shed all
the halo Of truth that their discoverers
could prove, and under which was placed
all the support-iron-like-of sages, have
worn so thin through ages that their fall
laciousness has long since been disclosed,
and eternal as they once appeared have
become enervated, powerless, through the
onslaught of time. They, too, have
shown that nothing is eternal.
Old tenets and maxims that had be-
come indoctrinated in the minds of ma
tions of people, that had been declared as
truisms, and held as guards to liberty, de-
fenders against innovations ofwrong, have
worn threadbare and now are Stunned as
opposers to human rights, and scoffed at
as senseless impediments for advancement.
All these have worn away. All else is
wearing away.
