About LIST January the Dayenports were

their way through the audience, and were

The VALUE OF SCRAP BooK.-All who take
newspaper which they in the least appreci-
ate, will often regret to see any one number
thrown aside for waste paper which contains
some interesting and important articles. A
good way to preserve these is by the use of a
scrap book. One who has never been accus-
toned thus to preserve short articles, can hard
ly estimate the pleasure it affords to sit down
and turn over the pleasant familiar pages.
Here a choice piece of poetry meets the eye,
which you remember you were 30 glad to see
In the paper, but which you SO long since
would have lost had il not been for your scrap
book. There is witty anecdote, that does
you good to laugh over, even though for the
twentieth time; next q valuable receipt you
had almost forgotten, and which you have
found just in time to save much perplexity
there is a sweet little story, the memory of
which has cheered and encouraged you many
time when almost ready to despair under
life's cares and trials; Indeed you can badly
take up paper without finding something in it.
Just glance over the sheet before you, and see
how many valuable items it contains that
would be of service to you a hundred times a
life. choice thought is far more precious
than bit of glitterng gold. Hoard with
care the precious gems, and see at the end of
the year what rich treasure you have sccu-
nulated

URsuRrATIoS. - The New York sun says
that President Grant has inaugurated for
eign war on his own account. 1t says that on
the I'd Of December last, Lieut. McCook. the
commander of the United States steamer Nan
tasket, acting under instruction from Grant
and Baez, used the forces under his command
to repeal an attack made by the partisans of
Luperon upon Puerto Plata. This fellow
Luperon is San Domingoan who does not
relish the rule of President Baez, and has
taken the field against him. Why the forces
Of the United States should cspouse the cause
of either Of those dusky warriors does not APP
pear. San Domingo is not q part of the
United States; Bnez is not a citizen Of our
country; and II Luperon should dovour Baez.
or the latter gobble the former, il is matter
that gives us, as n nation, but little concern.

Of power, such "a was never attempted by any
