SUCCESS MAKES ENEMIES. who are
eminently successful in business, or who achieve
greatness, or even notoriety, in any pursuit
must expect to make enemies. So prone to
selfshness. to petty jealousy, and sordid envy,
is poor human nature that whoever becomes
distinguished is sure to be mark for the ma.
licious spite of those who, not deserving sue
cess themselves, are goaded by the merited
triumph of the more worthy. Moreover, the
opposition which originates in such despicable
motives, is sure to be Of the most unscrupu-
lous character, hesitating at no iniquity, de-
scending to the shabbicst httleness. Opposi
ton, if it be honest and manly, is not undesira
bic. The competitor in life's struggles, who il
of true metal, deprecates not opposition of al
honorable character, but he rejoices in it. i
| is only injustice, or meanness, which he depre
Gates or despises; and it is this which the sue
cessful must meet, proportioned in bitterness
ofttimes, to the measure of success which ex
| cites it.

PAPER HOUSES. Passing along the street
the other day, the writer curiosity was excited
by seeing small house on the side walk Was
1t model OF some famous man dOmicie, or had
1t been used In political procession, or figured
at County or State Fair? Or was it put
there as sample of how houses should be
built! On examination, the writer found that
the roof, sides and floor were covered with
compacted paper or pastebOard, saturated
with tar and imperviOus to air and water, and
conductor of heat and cold, making it
cool in summer and warm in winter, and pro-
tecting the house against vermin 1t is put on
the studs with Sheathing boards, or on the
sheathing boards before clap p-boarding, or on
the inside of the studs before lathing, or on the
lath, and papercd instead of plastering, like any
wall, on the joints under the floors-to keep
out cold and nOise-and on roofs, under shin
giles or states, or instead of felt for a gravel
roof. And it is SO cheap that house 25 feet
by so, and 90 feet high can be covered with it,
and made air and water tight, and as warm as
brick house, for about twenty-five dollars
The paper can be used before saturation for
the inside of rooms, instead of plaster, and be
papered or whitewashed This material is be
ing very generally used, the Rock River Paper
Company, No. l3 La Sale street, Chicago
manufacturing it in large quantities at their ex
tenSive mills at Beloit, Wis, Marshall, Mich
and, like all other new and useful things now
a-days, it is patented. Samples and full par
ticulars by circular are sent free on application
to the company. We have had paper boat

DELAWARE SuAD.-Within the last forty
years five pound shad could have been bought
of the "spectable cullud pusson" whose song
I have quoted, or from the huge Osier baskets
of portly fsh-dameS at the foot Of Market street.
for ten cents. A four pound Delaware shad at
our fish stalls, now commands the price Of six
ty or even sevcnty-fve cents. Then, a single
shad furnished substantial meal for the day
laLorer and his large family; now, it is luxu
~ beyond his means, and only for the few who
can afford it. Then, a hundred shad for sal
ting down have been bought at our hshwharf
for three or four dollars; now, their enhanced
value causes all that are brought to the city, TO
be sold fresh, and the salted and smoked are in
ferior fish, caught and prepared for the market
after the season has closed. Then, as DR. How.
ell informs me, ten thousand, in seasons of
plenty, were not unfrcquently taken at single
sweep of the seine at Fancy Hill, on the Jer.ey
side now, a few hundred are considered for
tunate haul. and the number taken at this once
famous fishery, with all the appliances, are
annuity lessening. 1t is only question OF
time, therefore, when shad, at the present rate
of decrease, shall he numbered among the
things that were and even the Delaware shall
| be as shadless as the Thames and other rivers
of England, which once abounded in salmon,
are now salmonless LipptncoHS Magazine

FATAL HAsTE-The Israeltes who talked
of stoning Moses, and the mariners who threat
ened to drown Columbus are only two instsn-
ces ofthe unreasonableness of impatient passion
in the ignorant, towards those wise leaders who
would guide them slowly but surely to their
best good.
Many years AGO. when the Egyptian troops
first conquered Nubia, a regiment was destroyed
by thirst in crossing this desert. The men, being
upon a limited allowance of water, suffered
from extreme thirst and deceived By a pairage
that exactly rescmbed beautiful lake, they
insisted upon being taken to its banks by the
Arab guide. 1t was in vain that the guide
assured them that the lake was unreal and he
refused to lose the precious time by wandering
from his course. Words led to blows and he
was killed by the soldiers whose lives depended
upon his guidance The whole regiment turn
ed from the track and rushed towards the well
come waters. Thirsty and faint, over the burn
ing sands they hurried-heavier and heavier
their footsteps became-hotter and hotter their
breath, as deeper they rushed into the desert
| farther and farther from the lost track where
the pilot lay in his blood and still the mOckine
spirits Of the desert, the mirage, led them on
and the lake glistening in the! e!sunshlne tempted
them to bathe in its cool waters close to their
eyes but never at their lips. At length the de
lusion vanished-thc fatal lake had turned tt
burning sand Raging thirst and horrible de
spair Not a man ever left the desert, bu
they were subsequently discovered, parcheC
and withered corpses by the Arabs sent upoI
the search.
Foolish people are often deceived to thei
ruin nolo by appearances less fair.

THE MARRIED LIFE.-The universal expec-
tation of all young people is that their married
lives will be happy ones. Dcuded dreamers !!
They imagine they are different from other
people; and that when they enter the portals of
matrimony hope, peace and prosperity will ev-
er be their attendants. Such ones had better
by far consider themselves the same as others,
but form iron resolutions to do differently from
other married peope-resolution that will
keep them from the dangerous coast on which
so many have been wrecked and ruined. In
this fast age there is too much deceit practiced
by both sexes. Previous to marriage, many
try to appear more intellectual, more amiable
or more accomplished than they really are
Depend on it, love brought into existence by a
moonlight STROLL strengthened by deceit and
fashionable displays, and finally consummatec
through the influence of intriguing friends, will
fade almost as soon as the flowers thatcomposC

GOD BLESS YOU.

How simply fall the simple words
Upon the humble heart,
When friends long bound by stronger ties
Are doomed by fate to part
You sadly press the hand of those
Who thus in love caress you,
And soul responsive beats to soul,
In breathing out God bless you"'
"God bless yOuT Oh few weeks ago
heard the mournGul phrase,
When one whom from childhood loved
Went from my weary gaze.
Now binding tears fall thick and fast
mourn my life lost treasure.
While echoes of the past bring back
The farewell prayer God bless you -
The mother. sending forth her boy
To scenes untried and new,
LispS not studied, stately speech,
Nor murnurs out "Adieu."
She, trembling, says, between her sobs,
"Whene'er misfortunes press YOU,
Come to thy mother, boy, come back
Then sadly signs. " God bless you"
"God bless you" more of love expresses
Than volumes without number;
Reveal we thus our trust in Him
Whose eyelids never slumber.
l ask. in parting no long speech.
Drawled out in studied measure;
! only ask the dear old words
So sweet, so sad" God bless you"
