THE LOVE POWDERS:

Readers of the daily papers of the present
day are constantly truck with the numerous
advertisements " ,ch they contain of articles
the virtues Of which.the wisest head cannot
comprehend, and which somehow always meet
with ready sale. Good steady-going peo-
pie, who only SEQ the world from the sidewalk
or through their immaculate gold-rimmed
glasses, are at Il loss TO imagine why such
palpable swindles, as are constantly adyer.
tised in the public prints, should find any
persons green enough TO patronize them.
But gentle reader, we know well enough that
the wise people are by no means the majority
in this world of ours. The great mass Of
man and womanlnd is made up of green
horns, and needless, thoughtess bodies, who
are generally obliged to let some one else
think for them and besides this, there are
very few Of the wise ones who cannot be
humbugged in some way. Indeed, | doubt
if any man has ever gone from his cradle to
his grave without being in some way victim.

Once more laughing through the rnin,
Spring with sunny crown advances,
sunshine slittcring on his lances.
Long live Spring tho rainbow arch
Grcets his coronation march
Green his banners, free and brave,
From each trec-top rustling wave.
Birds before him ny In crowds,
Fast above him float the clouds,
swifter run rejoicing rivers,
sunbeam darts are In his qulvers
Where he trcads, primroses rise,
And the daisies ope their eyes
Blaokbirls sing In every busb,
Answering the merry thrush.

Faster than the pulses heat

Tell the glad news 10 the flowers.

Printing one Thousand Years ago.

An extraordinary discovery hae
been made ola press in India. When
warren Hastings was Governor. Gen
eral OF India, he observed that in the
district of Benares little below the
surface of the earth, is to be found
stratum OF a kind of fbrous woody
substance of various thicknesses in
horizontal layers. Major Roebuck
informed of this, went out to q spot
where an excavation had been made
displaying this most singular pheno-
menon. In digging somewhat deep>
or FOR the purpose of further research,
they laid open vault. which. on
further examination, proved to be of
some size, and to their astonishment
they found kind of printing press
set up in vault, and on it movable
types placed as if ready for printing.
Every inquiry was set on foot to as
certain the probable period at which
such an instrument could have been
placed there, for it was evidently not
OF modern origin, and from all the
Major could collect it appeared pro.
bable that the press had remained in
state in which it was found for al
least one Thousand years. We be-
lieve the worthy Major, on his re-
turn to England, presented one of
the learned associations with q mes
NOR containing many curious specu
lations on the subject. Paper we
know TO have been manufactured ia
IN the East many centuries before we
bad any knowledge of it, and we
have many reasons to think that the
Chinese had been acquainted with
the mode of printing they now en-
ploy, many years before Faust and
Guttenburg invented itin Europe
1t certainly does no credit to the in
ventive genius Of the Romans to
know that, while they approached so
near as to eDgrave in style not to
be equalled in the present age on
gems and stones, and of course the
taking OF Impressions of them, they
should have remained ignorant of the
art which has bestowed so many
blessings on MISUNDERSTANDING.
