The FAMILY NEWSPAPER. Franklin re-
marked that 4 man as often gets two dol
lars for the one he expend5 N forming his
mind, as he does for dollar he lays out in
any other way. \ man eats pound OF su-
gar and it is gone, and the pleasures he has
enjoyed is ended; but the information he
gets from a newspaper is treasured up to
be enjoyed anew, and to be used whenever
occasion or inclination calls for it. Anews-
paper is not the wisdom of one man or two
men it is the wisdom of the age and past
ages. A family without newspaper is a
year behind the times in general informa.
ton besides they can never think much
nor find much to talk about And then
there are the little one growing up without
any taste for reading. Who, then, would
be without newspaper.

VIII TUNKHANNOCK WYOMNGCO "WEDNESDAY APRIL 2l 1862:

A HUNDRED YEARS AGo.-A great many
events occur in hundred years. Within
| that time America has leaped forth into the
astonishing power that it is. One hundred
years ago, says an exchange, there was no;
a single white man in Ohio, Kentucky, In,
| diana and Illinois Territories. Then, what
is now the most fourishing part of America
was as little known as the country round
the Mountain of the Moon. 1t was not un-
til 1869 that the ''hunter of Kentucky, the
gallant and adventurous Boone, left his
home in North Carolina, to become the
| first settler in Kentucky" The first pio-
naer in Ohio did not settle until twenty
years after this time. A hundred years ago
Canada belonged to France. The whole
population of the United States did not ex-
ceeda million and half of people. Alum
dred years ago the great Frederick of Prus-
sia was performing those great exploits
which have made him immortal in military
annals, and with his little monarchy was
sustaining single handed contest with
Russia, Austria and Francc-the three
great powers of Europe combined. A hun
dred years ago Napoleon was not born, and
Washington was young and modest Vir-
ginia Colonel, and the great events in the
history of the two worlds, in which these
two great but dissimilar men took leading
parts, were then scarcely forshadowed. A
hundred years ago, the United States were
the most loyal part of the British Empire,
and on the political horizon no speck in
dicated the struggle which within score
of years thereafter established the greatest
Republic in the world. A hundred years
ago, there were but four newspapers in
America steam-engines had not been i'm
agined !; and railways and telegraphs and
kilograms had not entered into the reno
test conception of man. When we come to
look back through the vista of history, we
find that the century that has passed has
been allotted to more important events, in
their bearing upon the happiness Of the
world, than to almest any other which has
elapsed since the creation. A hundred
years hence, what will be the developement
1t is past finding out, except one thing
thought which astonished Xerxes Athos
all, with but few exceptions, now living
will be dead!

KISS MY WIFE OR FIGHT ME.

| There are few married men who are not
adverse to seeing their wives kissed, but an
exchange relates the particulars of case
in which the newly married Benedict felt
himself insulted because his wife was not
kissed. The bridegroom i'll question was a
stalwart young rustic, who was known as a
formidable operator in 'free fight" His
wife was a beautiful and blooming young
country girl only sixteen years of age, and
the twain were at party where number
of young folks were enjoying themselves in
the good old fashioned pawn-playing style.
Every girl in the room was called out and
kissed except the beautiful young bride
aforesaid, and although there was not a
youngster present who was not dying to
taste her lips, they were restrained by the
preselce of her herculean husband, who
stood regarding the party with sullen
look of dissatisfaction. They mistook the
cause, however, for suddenly he expressed
himself, Rolling up his sleeves, he step
ped into the middle of the room and in a
tone of voice that marked attention, said ::
Gentlemen, | have been noticing how
things have been working here for some
time, and [ amt half satisfied I don't
want to raise fuss but" Whats the
matter, John % inquired half a dozen
voices. What do you mean ? Have
done anything to hurt your feelings ?"-
"Ies, you have, all of you have hurt my
feelings, and I've just got to say about it !;
here's every girl in the room being kissed
near dozen times apiece, and there's my
wife, who L consider as likely as any of
them, has not had a kiss tonight and |
just tell you now, if she don't get as many
kisses the balance of the night as any gal
in the room, the man that Sights her has
got to fght-that's all. Now 90 ahead
with your plays - If Mrs B. was sighted
the rest Of the evening we did not know it.
As for ourselves, we know that John had
no fault to find with us, individually, for
ally neglect on our part.

DIDE'T LIKE WIDowERs.- endeavor,
ing to take the census of the Government,
the officers occasionally meet with such diff
iculties as well nigh deprive them of their
senses. The following colloquy is said to
have taken place somewhere, between an
officer and an Irish woman
"How many members have you in you1
family ?"
''Niver q one"
''When were you married ?''
"Ihe day Pat Doyle left Tipperary for
America. All well l mind it. A sunshinier
day never gilded the sky of old Ireland" "
What was the condition of your hus-
band before his marriage q
''Divil a man more miserable. He said
if l didn't give him promise within two
weeks he would blow his brains out with a
crowbar." 3"
''Was he, at the time of your marriage, a
widower or a bachelor y
"a which A widower did you say ?
All, now go way with your nonsense. Is it
the likes of me that would take up with a
second hand husband ? All legs and con-
sumption, like q sick turkey? A widower
May be blessed if I'd not rather live an
old maid and bring up family on butter
milk and praties ~

SELLING CRACKERS. s.-While in West
Plattsburg we were told circumstance
which occurred somewhere in New York
too good to be lost. A quick-witted toper
went into barroom and called for some
thing to drink. 'FWe don't sell liquor, y
said the law-abiding landlord-''we will
give you glass and then if you want to
buy crackerwe will sell it to you for three
cents"
very we'll" said the Yankee customer
''hand down your decanter."
The 'good crature" was handed down,
and our hero took stiff horn when turn
ing around to depart, the unsuspecting
landlord handed him the dish of crackers
with the remark ''you'H buy cracker y
'Wall, no, guess not you sell 'em to
dear. can get lots of 'em five or six for a
cent, anywhere else"

PCNGENT.-''Did you ever hear the story
of the Irishman and the horseradish."
NO, how was it :"
well, seeing dish of grated horse
radish on the table, where they had stopped
for dinner, each helped himself largely to
sauce, supposing it to be eaten as po-
tatoes or squash; and the first putting a
knife full into his mouth, jerked his hand
kerchief from his trowsers and commenced
wiping his eyes.
what troubles you, Jemmy?" inquired
his comrade.
''Sure, and l was thinkin' of my poor
old fathers death when he was hung" he
replied shrewdly.
Presently the other, taking as greedily
of the pungent vegetable, had. sudden use
for the handkerchief whersas Jenny as
as coolly inquired:
and what troubles yer, Pat ?"
''Troth, he replied, chat you was not
hung with your father"

neap A few evenings since, an Irishman
was riding in one of our city passenger
cars, when the conductor called for his
ticket, but the passenger was unable to
find it.
''What shall l do p says Pat.
PAY me seven cents" says the conduc-
tor. - ....
''Murther an GUNS, but didn't give but
six for the ticket ~
Cant help that, replied the conductor,
''our fare is seven cents, or ticket, " which
sum Pat unwillingly passed over. ..a
Soon after he called the conductor, with
Joy beaming on his countenance, and said :
'I've found the divil now give me back
my cint and take the ticket"
This was done, much to the amusement
of the passengers, poor Pat not thinking
he was paying double fare.

Bas| A lad from the ''Green Isle" whose
occupation is that of blackening stoves,
fire-places and stoves-pipes, bearing upon
his arm pot of blackening, with brushes,
and other implements of his trade, address
ed a citizen of the city, who was standing at
the door: HAS your honor any stove to
polish this morn? am the boy for that
business. The person addressed not be-
ing of a courteous manner, said "Gc
about your business. Pat moved few
steps on, to be out of the reach of kick,
and replied; "Your honor would not be
worse for little polishing yourself, Tn

BST Aloquacious gentleman, finding him

taciturn maiden lady of some forty winters
tried in vain to engage her in conversation.
At length night came ON. As nothing was
said, both fell asleep. The stage finally
stopped, and the driver announced to the
lady that she had arrived at her destination.
Her felow-passenger being awafened at
the same time thought he would exchange
a word at parting, and addressed her =
Madam, as we shall probably never sleep
together again, i bid you a respectful fare
well. " A seream-and silence reigned
again. -.

Az AQUEOUS FACT.-A correspondent of

the following good story II heard fun

CURED just across the Missouri river from
this place 4 couple somewhat advanced
in life, who had for many years been noted
for their profanity, were converted during
revival of religion in their native place.
Every one interested in the progress of
Christians religion was reioiced at the
change. Everything went along smoothly,
and with many other converts, they went
down to the water" to be baptized The
day was exceedingly cold. Mr.. S.
went into the water first, while his wife
watched him. standing upon the bank of
the river. No sooner had the old gentle
man touched dry land than he startled the
bystanders by calling out to Mrs. S.
in his own peculiar drawing tone:
Poll Poll l!-I-say,--don't go down
into that al water-its colder than hell ="

INTERESTING TO FARMERS. The Commits
sioner of interal Revenue has decided that
farmers have no right to have their grain
manufactured into flour in any manner,
without paying a license to the Govern
ment, and if they do, they are liable to the
penalties provided by law. We mention
the fact for the benefit of those who may
be interested in knowing it. Day by day
the people are becoming more and more ac-
quainted with the face of the tax collector,
and we are growing more familiar with the
ramifcations OF the Internal Revenue law.

SMILES. s.-Keep smile on your counten-
ance. Smiles breed dimples, which are more
ornamental than seyenty-fve cent vest
chains. 1t is dangerous to sleep in the
same town with the proprietor of perpetu-
al frown. Don't walk around looking as
dismal as sick undertaken, or as. if you are
going to your wedding or funeral. If you
feel dcwn-hearted, avoid laudanum. Take
to clean linen and victuals, and you'll come
out all right
