The Value OF a Newspaper.

When trade grew slack and notes fell
due, the merchants face grew long and
blue I; his dreams were troubled all the
night, with sheriffs, balifs all in sight.
At last his wife unto him said, q Rise up
at once and get out Of bed, and get your
paper, ink and pen, and say these words
unto all men: "M Ny goods / wish to sell
to you, and to your wives and daughters
too; my prices they shall be so low, that
each viii buy before they CO." He did as
his good wife advised, and in the paper
advertised. Crowds came and bought all
that he had his notes were paid his dreams
made glad, and he will tell you to this
day, how well did printers ink repay. He
he saved by printers ink. The other in
place as tight, contented with the Press
to slight, he did not let the people know
of what he had, or where to go. His
drafts fell due and were not paid a levy
on his goods were made; the store was
closed until the sale, and for some time he
was in jail. A bankrupt now without
cent, at leisure he does deep repent, that
very foolish and unwise, he did not freely
advertise.
The newspapers of town are its life
blood. Without them they can not pros
per. The better they are supported at
home, the more powerful their influence
win be abroad. To the merchant they are
indispensable, as those who have made use
of them as a medium through which to
reach the public, well know. And they
contribute largely to the prosperity of ev-
cry citizen, for their influence is felt in
thousand different ways, and exerted in a
thousand different directions.

cronyveil,s speech.

The following brief and decidedly pithy
speech delivered by Oliver Cromwell on
dissolving the long Parliament, may 10
new to some Of our readers. 1t is fair
specimen of the rude, vigorous, and hardy
style of this singular character:
SIT is high time for me to put an end to
your sitting in this place, which ye have
dishonored by your contempt of all virtue,
and defed by the practice of every vice.
Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all
good government. Ye are pack of mer-
cenary wretches, and would, like Esau,
sell your country for a mess of pottage,
and like Judas, betray your God for a few
pieces of silver. Is there single virtue
now remaining in you? Is there one vice
you do not possess You have no more
religion than my horse. Gold is your God.
Which of you has not bartered away your
conscience for bribes? Is there man
among you who has the least care for the
good of the Commonwealth You sordid
prostitutes! Have you not de6lcd this sa-
cred place, and turned the Lords temple
into den of thieves? By your immoral
principles and wicked practices ye have
grown intelerably odious to whole nation.
You, who were deputed here by the people
to get their grievances redressed, are your
selves become their greatest grievance.
Your country, therefore, calls upon me to
clean this augean stable by putting final
period to your iniquitous proceedings in
this house, and which, by Gods help, and
the strength he has given me, l now intend
to do. I command you, therefore, upon
the peril of your lives, to depart Immediate
ly out of this place. Go! Get you out!
Make haste! Ye venal slaves, hegone!
Take away that shining bauble there, (the
speakers mace> and lock up the doors.

A slight noise in the kitchen drew the
attention of Mr.. Keith.
"Jupiter p cried he, " if Mrs. O'Fla-

He jumped from the table and started
in hot pursuit. The dog made the best
of it; Keith's unaccustomed attire was
sad drawback, and he made but little
headway.
:" Kill him." he yelled to the crowd

Mrs. OFlaharty herself appeared on the
scene, with skillet of hot water.

"I'n break the bones of every mothers

Keith took step forward; stepped on
his skirt and pitched head first in wine
cellar, where half dozen men were play
ing cards.
"The devil in petticoats !" exclaimed
one gamester, and the place was emptied
quicker than wink.
The police picked up Keith consider
ably bruised, and carried him home.
His company had taken their departure,
and somebody, not having the fear of the
law upon them, had entered and stolen a
hundred dollars worth of property.
Then Mr.. Keith sent the following note ::
DEAR MARY Come home. 1 give up

do. I confess myself incompetent to
manage. Come home and you shall have

to divide your labors.

PASTORAL CoLDNEss. lady recently,
in giving her views of the preaching of a
minister to whom she had listened several
times, said ''I thought it was the business
of the minister to feed the sheep. This
man don't feed us; he sends us bleating
and hungry home" Many one might
gather useful hint from this as the pro-
per mode Of dealing with the flock of Christ.
Harshness, severity and fault-fnding ac-
oomplish but little good in the family, the
church, or the world. True, it is the pas
tors duty to admonish and rebuke, to cor
rect error and reform sin, but always in the
spirit of the Master. A scolding minister
never yet succeeded in anything but scat
tering the flock, and weakening his hold
upon the affections of his people. There is
a magazine of power in an affectionato spir-
it and kind words. .-Spayyeoa.

New PREVENTIVE OF THE CATTLE
PLAeUE.-Chloride ofcopper is now extern
sively used in Germany against the cattle
plague, or rather as a preseryative. The
modus operandi is as follows: Take green

spirits of wine kilog. and dissolve. With
this solution impregnate pad of cotton,
lay it on plate, and set FIRE to it in the
centre of the stable, turning the animals
head towards the fame, so as to make them
breathe the fumes. This operation is per-
formed morning aud evening, burning one
pad for every three head of cattle. At
night spirit lamp filed with the solutionis
lighted in the stable. Toprevent accidents
the flame is surrounded with wire gauze.
The liquid is also administered internally,
with the addition of fifteen gins. of chloro-
form for the above quantity. A teaspoon
full of this is put in the animals drink
day. As further precaution the littcrs
are watered with the same solution.

Men, Women and Manners.

Fanny Fern, in the Ledger, has some
common sense talk regarding the inter-
course of intimate friends, which she thinks
is much more reasonably conducted among
men than by women. Thus, in order to
avoid offending female friend who may
chance to call while a lady is occupied, the
latter may not send down word that she is
engaged, but must resort to "white liz" !"
and say that she is out. Fanny once ex-
cused herself to female visitor because
she had an article to write. The visitor,
as soon as Fanny had gone, turned to an
other with the mild remark: 81 suppose
she said that to get rid of us--don't you ?''
Fanny says the intercourse of men with
each other has always aroused her ad1i.
ration. If one wants to read or write in
another's company, he does so, and no Of
fense is taken.
If one has to leave, he often says no
more than Pm off, y or "Good by, old fell
low" Sometimes it is only the touch of
the hat, or hand laid on the others shoul-
der in passing, and no black eyes, no locks
of hair fly nor do any hard words or looks
result in the future.
Further fancies follow regarding the pos
sible conduct of females in imaginary en-
ergencies. Wequote:
If ladies smoked, which the gods for
bid do you suppose one lady would allow
another to stop her in the street and light
cigar from her lips, when she never was
introduced? When she didn't even know
who her dressmaker was, or where she
bought her bonnets? Good heavens.
Did you ever notice, if anything unex-
pected occurs in the mutual path of men
passing through the same street, how nat
urally and frankly they accost each other,
though perfect strangers, and converse
about it, and go their several ways, to
their tombetones, after it? Not so, sweet
woman? Catch her speaking to =" that
nasty thingp' How does she know who
or what she is?
Children are so delicious about these
matters. saw two little girls, the other
day, trying to crack nut on the side
walk by pressing in turn their tiny little
shoe, upon it. Despairing of success, they
said to gentleman passing, Man, man,
crack this nut for us, will you ?" His
handsome face was luminous with fun as
he pressed his polished boot down upon it,
to the delight of the youngsters and my
self, Now, these little girls wouldn't have
thought of asking lady to- do that or if
they had, do you think she would have
stopped to do it?

A MoDgRN BAByLoN.-From all ac-
counts, Washington, the proud Capitol Of
the " Model Republic" is getting to be. q
very nice place for small tea-party. A
story is going the rounds of the press,
which is vouched for as true, that there
are two fashionable gambling houses,
both within half dozen squares of the
Treasury building, which are exclusively
for the use of ladies'. One, and perhaps
the best furnished and most largely fire.
quented, is situated on fourteenth street,
while the other is in the First ward, but a
few. squares distant. At these places, at
nearly all hours of the day, may be found
richly dressed ladies, connected with FAM
lilies whose standing is high in the commu-
nifty, earnestly engaged in. faro, and stalk
ing their money with an ABANDON that
would excite surprise. The sterner sex is
rigidly excluded, and the players feel
themselves secure from the intrusion of
watchful fathers or angry husbands, while
they at the same time place firm reliance
on the silence of their fair companions,
who are quite select and respectable, as
the judgment of the crafty proprietresses
enables them to perceive that the indis-
criminate admission of visitors would be
injurious to their interests. Can this be
true?

J HOW MR.. KEITH MANAGED.

g Mans work is from sun to sun, but
woman's work is never done," quoted
Mrs. Keith She had finished her work
for the day, everything was tidied and she
was taking up her sewing, when Mr..
Keith upset vinegar bottle and bowl of
gravy in the kitchen cupboard, rumaging
after knife which was in his pocket all
the time. Mrs. Keith relinquished her
idea of little season of quiet, and went
on to set matters in order again. Mr..
Keith followed to oversee her-a habit
some men have.
ST wish you would be little more care
full, Henry. You do not realize how many
things / have to see to-"
Humphp' said Mr.. Keith, sitting
down in basket of freshly ironed clothes,
81 never would complain of such tride as
that! If didn't know, I should think all
the women were in slavery"
"And you would be correct, Henry.
You haven't the faintest idea"
]" "Nonsense, Maryl Why, I could do
your work and three times as much more
and get all through by ten o'clock"
"Could you, indeed :"
"To be sure if you would only give me
the chance of it."
You shall have it," said Mrs. Keith,
quietly. "I have long wanted to visit my
Aunt Susan. will do so now, and you
may keep house. / shall have to cook up
something"
"As if 1 couldn't cook You will do

'but when can go?v
"To-morrow, if you like"
"And are you sure you can manage n
"Sure !" what look he gave her I;
''you shall see.''
Mrs. Keith laughed little to herself
when her husband left her at the depot,
and turned his steps homeward to clear
the breakfast things, and prepare dinner.
She emily wished she could be there inyisi-
ible, and see him manage.
"Let me see," soliloquized Keith, en-
.tering the kitchen "Pll wash the dishes
first, and I'll put on one of Mary's dresses
ito keep me clean"
,He fastened it around his waist with a
pin, rolled up his sleeves and looked about
him. The fire was out, but after much
trouble he succeeded in rekindling it, and
sthen began the dishes.
He took them to the sink, plugged up
the spout, and put them to soak in pail

VINO BUILT THE CAPITOL. capitol
of the United States, as it stands, is the
work of many persons, of whom but two or
three are noticeable. DIR. Thornton made
the first design, said by Washington to
combine "grandeur, simplicity and conve-
nience." The architects retained but two
or three features of Thornton's design, and
preferred one by Mr.. S. Hallet. b. II.
Latrobe, of an enterprising Maryland fam
lily, began to rebuild the capitol after the
British burnt it, and Mr.. Bullfneh COM
pleted it. 1t was thirty-fve years after
the laying of the cornerstone before COM
pleted national capitol existed in America
The extension of the capitol has already
occupied eighteen years. Washington laid
the cornerstone of the old, Webster Of the
new capitol. The Brunelleschi of the
house is Thomas U. Walter, the Ghiberti
oft is Thomas Crawford. There are three
names, therefore, Hallet, Walter, Crawford
with whom are associated the merits OF
the capitol. Walter is incomparably the
national architect I; he built the Girard Col
lege at Philadelphia, and on that building
and the dome of the capitol his fame will
last.
