For common stone color add four

Cheese men think that the home
and foreign market for their product
is likely to be good for an indefinite
period, from the fact that the annual
demand of England is one hundred
and thirty million pounds in excess
Of production, which the fifty million
pounds surplus of America fail to sat
Iisfy. The increase of the consump-
ton in this country bids fair, from
present indications, to keep pace with
increase in supply, and if it does not,
the foreign demand, which is gaining
every year, will absorb all the surplus
at remunerative prices. alaa
The same paper says the situation
of many farmers this spring is liy-
ing warning against holding crops
for higher prices. Potatoes have
been wintering in large quantities in
some sections, and are to-day mark
etable for about one-fourth what they
would have brought at diggidg.-
Wheat is in not much better case.
Another thing for which all must
make up their minds is that prices
-,
will tend to decline right along for a
few years. a m
The N. Y. Times which at first
sharply criticised Secretary Boutwell,
for obeying the sinking fund law, is
at last coming to its senses, and now
mildly commends the Secretary for
pursuing course calculated to sub
serve the interests of the country
The Times will one Of these days dis
cover, if it progresses at this rate,
that the Secretary is entitled to just
as much credit as any other public
officer who obeys the laws enacted
for his guidance, and no more.
The Advance has this sensible
piece of advice:
Sect the BEST is a capital rule
in buying stock as well as in mar
rying. If you want a good cow,
hunt up one so good that the owner
won't sell nohow,' and then bid up
until he is willing to exchange it for
your money. So with help. Get

BY A KING.-ahe following anecdote
is related of the late King Kekuanova,
father of the present King of the
Sandwish Islands: Food in the ma
tive market place was one time held
at very high price, ring or
s'corner," or something of the sort
being connected among the market
men. The King came up and in
quiring of one OF them the price of
his calabash and contents. An ex-
horbitant figure was named, when
smash went the royal cane through
the cover and contents, Another
and another shared the same fate,
till one vender, seeing what was com
ing, took warning in time and lower
ed to decent figure. ''There, let
that be the price," was the command,
and the market was easy again.
The story is told that when Cam
lila Urso was concerning in Milwau-
kee, not long since, and deeply i'm
mersed in fantasia of Artot's an in
dignant Milwaukeean aross in the au-
dience, and with blood in his eye,
and thunder in his tone, shouted:
"Here you fellow, that's pounding
that musical box, darn ye, stop.
Don't you see the little gal wants to
play something and you keep putting
her out. Now, little one, just give
us Fishers Hornpipe;' and if that
laundering fool don't keep his music
box still, I'll throw him out the back
door," The effect may be imagined.
Recently an Irish woman called
at the Lewiston Post Office and in
quired if there was letter for her.
She was told there was a letter for
her from the dead letter Office, when
she at once burst into tears, saying,
san shure / thought some Of lem
mought been dead that / didn't hear
from them before" An explanation
dried her tears.

The ice factory at,New Orleans is
great success. 1t consists Of six
retorts of a chemical freezing mixture.
From these six retorts six pipes de-
scend to six huge chests, which chests
In turn radiate severally off into four
compartments. In each conlpart-
ment are long, thin tin cases, seven on
one side and eight on the other.
This making. by all the rules of arith-
metic, total Of ffty-six cases in a
box, and there being four boxes to a
chest, and six chests to a factory, ii
follows that, at full blast, this South
ern ice factory, can turn out 1,344
cakes of ice eighteen inches long, II
broad, and 2 thick, at the completion
of each process. The ice is much
colder than that frozen naturally, and
lasts much longer. The factory is a
joint stock enterprise, and the proper
ty is exceedingly lucrative.

BE A WOMAN.

Oft We heard a gentle mother,
As the twilight hours began,
Pleading with a son, on duty,
Urging him TO be a man.
But unto her blue~eyed daughter,
Though with loves words quite as ready,
Points she out the other duty,
Strive, my dear, to be lady"
What 8 a lady? Is it something
Made of hoops, and silks, and airs,
Used to decorate the parlOr,
Like the fancy rugs and chairs?
Is it one who wastes on novels
Every feeling that is human?
If it's this to be lady,
It's not this to be a woman.
Mother, then, unto your daughter
Speak of something higher far,
"Woman Is tue urIguterstar.
If ye, in your strong affection,
Urge your son to be true man,
Urge your daughter no less stronger,
To arise and De woman.
Yes, q womsn-brightest model
OF that light and perfect beauty,
Where the mind, and SOUL and body,
Blend to work out lifes eat'duty-
BE a womsn-naught is higher
On the gilded list of fame;
On the catalogue of virtue
There g no brighter, boiler name.
Be woman-on to duty,
Raise the world from all that g low;
Place high in the social heaven
Virtues fair and radient bow
Lend thy influence to each effort
That shall raise our nature human;
Be not fashions gilded lady
Be brave, whole souled, tr1e woman.

CAT IN THE MEAL TUB The Lower
House OF the Legislature of Rhode Island
has postponed action upon the Fifteenth
Amendment of the Federal Constitution un.
til next January. The republicans in that
State do not like Federal interference in the
affair of suffrage there. The cause of this is.
that the republicans have been able to main
tain their supremacy in tha! State by ex
Guiding from voting large class of its citiz-
ems. Under the Constitution of Rhode Is
land, no person can vote there unless be
holds real estate, the assessed value Of which
shall be one hundred and thirty-four dollars
over aud above all incumbrances and liens
upon it." This excludes thousands of me-
chanics, clerks, artizans, and laborers from
the privilege of voting. The passage of the
Fifteenth Amendment removes this re-
striction, and will give this large class the
right to vote. The republicans fear that
this will give the State to the democracy.
norant blacks of the South shall be allowed
&c vote, are unwilling to surrender their pow
er in Rhode Island to accomplish that object.
This is the secret of the postpouement in
that State They don't want the eight or
ten thousand democrats who are now ex>
cluded to have the right of voting IN y

AROUND THE HEARTH.

Whatever be our earthly lot,
Whenever we may roam,
Still to our hearts the brightest spot.
Is round the hearth at home,
The home where we received our birth,
The hearth by which we sat,
No other spot on all the earth
Will ever be like that.
Wien winter coming in its wrath
Piled high the drifting snow,
Sale clustered round the cheerful hearth
We watched the freight glow;
Nor brighter seemed ;he ruddy flames,
Than did our hearts, the while
A loving mother breataed our LANES.
With sweet approving smile.
When wearied with our eager chase
Through many tangled path,
How sweet the dear, accustomed place
To take around the hearth,
And still when by our toll and care
We feel ourselves oppressed,
Our thoughts forever cluster there,
And there alone find rest.
Bright promise of the rest above,
Sweet shelter from the storm,
Home, Followed by a mothers love,
Hearth, by that love made warm;
) Though wildly roared the storm without,
What recked we of the cold,
What place for any fear or doubt
Within that loving fold
And when some little trouble weighed
Upon the childish heart,
Till from our brimming eyes it made
The gushing teaI I>drOps start,
How quick before that genial glow,
We felt each sorrow cease.
Aud back the crystal current flow,
To flood our hearts With peace.
And brighter with the passing years
Seems childhood's sweet employ,
And even sweeter still appears
Each well remembered joy,
Around the cheerful heart at home,
When we in childhood sat
Nor other spot, where'er we roam,
Will ever be like that.

PRAISE OF AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS BY
FoREIGNERs.-When, 10 former years, the
institutions of this country were cited TO by
torelgn statesmen, or by the leaders of liberal
parties in the European monarchies as ex.
amples Of political wisdom, and as the infal
lible guarantees of progress and liberty, we
accepted the praise as a well-deserved &C,
knowledgement of republicanism aud democ>
racy, as they we're understood and practised
in the United States. When like compli-
ments come to our ears to-day, we receive
them with entirely different sentiments.
We know that large portion of them origi-
nate with our usurous creditors in Europe,
who only fatter their debtors in order to
make them pay their dues with greater al.
acrity. They always remind US a little of
gentle Shylock, whose Hebrew turned Chris.
tian. Only that in reference to the European
Shylocks, Portia is not shrewd enough.
They praise us because We are sosuperhuman-
ly just as not only to give them the pound of
flesh, but our Christian blood besides The
praise OF another class Of our foreign admir-.
ers hurts US still more. 1t souuds to us, if
not like irony, still as the remembrance of
some very great, and perhaps irretrievably
lost blessing. A few days ago Mazzini was
accused by the Italian authorities OF having
fomented a new rebellion. In answer TO
these accusations, he addressed "a letter to
his enemies wherein he describes the Ital-
ian kingdom as o, nero appurtenance of the
French Empire, and its ruling principle as a
dastardly Macchiavellism, showing up the
American Republic as al example of what
Italy should be; wherein, as be says, the
law is omuipotent, and the offices are bestowr
ed ouly on true merit Poor enthusiast
How little does be know the American Res
public of these days We certainly shall
not attempt to destroy Mazzini's illusions.
But we do not deny that it is almost as
hard for Americans to listen to his unde.
served praise as it was in in former years to
bear the innumerabe accusations of nearly
every foreigner who spoke of us.-&. Louis
