THE IMMUNlTlEs OF THE PooR.-POor
people pever live in brown stone fronts, or
elegant villa residences with all the moder n
improvements. Consequently, in the dead
of winter their furnace CRATES never break
down, their fat roofs never leak, their wa
ter pipes never burst. Their plate glass
windows are never broken, their dumbswa-
ters never give out, their patent burglar
alarms never 60 off at the wrong time. -
Their coachmen never get drunk-careless
servants never crack their Sevres china. In
fact, one of the chief happiness of poverty
is exemption from the affliction ofservants.
No Irishrange around the humble dwellings
of the poor. When the daughters of povs
erty exchage calls, their conversation may
dwell on pleasanter themes than the trials
they have undergone with the cook, the
minutia of the chamberm aids slovenliness
the fact that the second girl is more than
mistrusted of taking things;' it not being
fashionable yet to speak of defalcating with
the spoons, though we shall doubtless soon
reach even that point of white washed Sc
pulchreism. The enormities generally o
what Punch has dubbed 'servantgalism'
disturb not the peace of poverty.-From
The Pleasures of Poverty, in the October
number of Lippincotts Magazine.

THE FERRY.-Day after day we meet
with men who with us think it so strange
in the committee who rule the affairs of
this institution, that they refuse to issue
monthly tickets. 1t was long time before
they consented to run boat after their
old accustomed hours, but we and they
learn from experience Tat continual
pecking will make an impression. The
press will have to open its battery upon
this committee, whose doctrines would have
done to preach to Noah but not to people
who understand things, for they.look upon
the ferry not as company running line
to make money, but as a convenience. If
it be for that object why in the name of
Ben Butler do the committee prevent the
issuing Of monthly tickets, without they
wish to make the money lost on the sale of
the old Portsmouth. If they are at all de-
sirous to see this city prosper, then have
monthly tickets; it is a great tax upon
person as it now stands.

HOME MAaUFAorURg.-We are always glad
to chronicle any Virginia industry which
may have for its object the development OF
our home resources and the deliverance Of
our people from their commercial and
manufacturing thraldom in the North.
We were, therefore, pleased to meet yes"
terday with the agent of an important Vir.
ginia enterprise, lately established, which
seems to deserve the most liberal support
from our people. We allude to the Buck
lend Wooden Mills in Prince William coun-
ty, Va. We have examined some of the
products of this mill, and were astoni he'd
to find them ofso superior quality. The
cloths we saw are smooth, soft, beautifully
finished, and appear to be admirable in
every respect. They are OF different co!ors
and qualities. We have never seen any
thing that would make handsomer or better
business suits. They arc said, too, to DO
fifty per cent. cheaper than the same des
scription of goods from the north. 1t is
not, therefore, on the ground ofpatriotism
but on that of interest ofthe buyer that
these goods appeal TO the people of Virgil
MIA. We heartily commend them to their
patronage. They can be seen at the office
of Messrs. Clark Dc Tyree, No. lib Main
street. -Lynchburg Virginian.

"Where is Drake $. L. 1860 X?' We have
heard this question asked many times,
and for all we knew for year past ne
might be dead. Recently in New York,
we called at his Laboratory in Liberty

barricaded behind q tremendous pile OF
boxes, distributing funds to Sunday
School Committee. Our business was to
secure an advertisement. He said My
dear sir, what Is the use OF advertising

now than when l advertised OF such
