WHAT WE ARE MADE OF.-The
following is an article by o. w. Holmes:
If the reader of this paper lives an
other year, his self-conscious principle
will have migrated from it's present tene-
ment to another, the new materials of
which have not been put together. A
portion of the body which is to be, will
ripen in the corn of the next harvest.
Another portion of his future person he
will purchase for him, headed up in the
form of several barrels of potatoes. A
third fraction is yet to be gathered in
the Southern rice fields. The limbs
with which he is then to walk will be
clad with the borrowed flesh from the
tenants of the many stalls and pastures
now unconscious of their doom. The
organs of speech. with which he asks
so wisely and speaks so eloquently, or
speaks so effectively, must serve his
humble brethren to bleat, and to below
and all the varied differences of bris-
tied or feathered barn-yard life. His
bones themselves are to great extent
in posse and in esse. A bag of phos-
plate of lime, which he has ordered for
his grounds, contains large part of
what is said to be his skeleton. And
more than all this, by far the greater
port of his body is nothing at all but
water, the main substance of his scat
tered members are to be looked for in
the reservoir, the running stream at the
bottom of the well, in the clouds that
float over his head or diffused among
them all.

TAX ON SPURIOUS CHAMPAGNE.-The
commissioner of Internal Revenue has
rendered decision in the spurious
champagne wine cases. He holds that
wines made by infusion of carbonic acid
gas, and put up in bottles similar to for
eign champagne wine, are subject to a
tax of So per dozen. All the wines
known as sheispurious champagne wines,
between 100000 and 100000 worth of
which were seized by Collector Shook, of
New York, some time ago, were put up
as above described. The decision will
not only bring a revenue to the Govern
ment, but drive out of use those fraudu-
lent champagne wines.

GIRLs.-A Composition by a Very
Small Boy don't like girls. Girls is
different from what boys is. Girls don't
play marbles and also girls don't play
hockey I played hockey once and got
whipped for it. Girls sometimes get
whipped but not SO much as boys, their
clothes amt SO well suited for it, that is
the reason suppose. / never see no
girls play base ball, they say they do in
Boston. There is plenty of girls in
Boston and organs. Last year when [
was Young, the teacher used to make me
Set with the girls because / was naughty.
I cried. Big boys like girls better than
little boys. I went on sleigh ride one
night with my sister Nancy and Tom.
Sykes. We Were going to new Hartford,
when we got up by Peggs Tavern, Tom
asked me to look in the bottom of his
sleigh for his whip; while was looking
he fired off a torpedo. / asked him if
he had any more torpedoes, and he said
no, but fired off another when L wasn't
looking. Girls don't like to have men
kiss them. They always say they don't.
If they wasn't fools they would turn
their heads the other way, but they
don't do that. L saw Tom kiss Nancy
once, and / told my mother. Then my
mother put me to bed. When girl
takes out her handkerchief in the street
and wipes her nose, the young men who
earn their living by standing in front of
the Pine block always wipe their noses
at the same time, if they see her. Girls
get married sometimes, but not always.
Those that don't get married don't want
to. When they get married they have
wedding cake. / like wedding cake;
but do not see any fun in getting mar
ied-especially to girl.

RULES FOR READING.-Better to read
one good book carefully than to read ten
carelessly. Be slow to begin to read a
book if it is likely you will not have time
to finish it. Be careful how you spend
time in reading books which are not
worth reading. You had better throw
away money than time, for time is worth
more than money. AS bad man may
have good name, so bad book may
have a good title.

To introduce persons who are unknown
to each other, is to undertake serious
responsibility, and always involves the
1ndorsementtOe each of the responsibility
of the other. This responsibility should
never be undertaken without first ascer-
tanning whether it will be acceptable to
both parties to become acquainted. al
ways introducing gentleman to the lady
never on the contrary. This rule is to
be observed everywhere, socially. or
otherwise. The chivalry of etiquette
assumes that the lady is invariably the
superior by right of her sex, and that
the gentleman is honored by being pre-
sented- Where the sexes are the same,
present the younger to the elder, the
unmarried to the married, or the infe-
rior In social rank or talent to the supe-
rior. A gentleman should never be in
troduced to lady without first asking
her permission.

From Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Nay, 1867 :
Were !, in view of all the competitors now in the

Living Age. There is not in any library that
know OF so much instructive and entertaining
reading in the same number of volumes.
From the New York Times The taste, iudg-
ment and wise tact displayed in the selection of

ring them to this sterling weekly 1t is decidedly
the best magazine of its class published in the

Notwithstanding. Since them the
Cincinnati Gazette brings us the la-

the Board visited tho farm Of a Mr..

that out ofa dairy OF thirty-one cows,
he had only three left. The report
says:
