Take Your Home Paper.

The following is taken from the ed
itorial columns of the Lady's Book for
January:
What tells us so readily the standard
of town or city as the appearance of
its paper? And its youth or its age
can as we'll be determined by the OBJ
serving as by personal notice. The
enterprise of its citizens is depicted by
its advertisements, their liberality by
the looks of the paper. Some papers
show good, solid, healthy foundation,
plethoric purposes and wcll-to do ap-
pearance generally; others show stri-
wing to contend with the grasping
thousands around them, trying hard to
wrench out an existence from the close
listed community around them An oc-
casional metoric display in its columns
of telegraph or local or Of editorials,
show what it can do if it had the means.
but it cannot continue in the extensive
work until support comes, which ought
to be readily granted "A newspaper is
like church.; it wants fostering in the
commencement, and for few wears;
then as general thing, it can walk
alone, and reflect credit upon its loca-
tion. Take your home paper; it gives
you more news of immediate interest
than New York or other papers; it talks
for you when other localities belle you;
it stands up for your rights; you always
have a champion in your home paper,
and those who stand up for you should
certainly be well sustained. Your III
terests are kindred and equal, and you
must rise or fall together. Therefore
it is your interest to support your home
paper, not grudgingly, but in liberal
spirit; as pleasure not as disagreea-
bic duty but as an investment that
will amply pay the expenditure.

Pedigree Of Syndicate. /.

Hon. S. s. Cox has finally got at the
pedigree Of the word syndicate" In
his speech against the whitewashing re-
port of the Ways and Means Commit
tee, in the House, the other day, he
exhumed the eminently satisfactory
account of this remarkable nondescript
given by Sir John Manderyille, in his
famous Travels in Cathay. "While
passing many contrees," writes Sir
John, ''both by land and sea, l eherch-
ed on the Chinese wall strange animal
of the lizard kind He was known in
ancient books as chameleon. When
the sun did shine he took various col
ors; sometimes it wore golden hue,
and sometimes it had gree,iback. l

which so bedazzled his eye that he was
easily caught. l bring him home as a
strange beastc. 1t is called by the
natives a 'sindicat.' s.In other words,
syndicate is one Of those things OF
which it is strikiugly said that '.now

In science read by preference the
newest books; in literature the oldest.
The classic literature is always modern.
New books revive and redecorate old
IDEAS; old books suggest and invigorate
new ideas.-GBulwer.

OBJECTIONABLE HABIrs.-One of
the great faults in modern manners is
the habit of undue and improper famili-
arity. Some Of the clcverast of men
fall into the way Of squeezing hands in
the most violent manner, of slapping
even their seniors on the back, and in
other rude modes emphasizing their
familiarity and assuming close prox-
unity Of person quite uncomfortable to
persons Of good breeding and taste.
Others again have an offensive and
familiar habit Of using profanities. dis
playing knowledge Of intimate and
strictly private matters which one would
scarcely care to have known to ones
particular friends, much less the sub
ject Of rude and unmannerly conver-
sation by comparative strangers.

HORACE GREELEY says that castor
beans may be cast or not, whichever
you like. The foundry at which he
gets his seed is the best. If the nest
egg has been cracked by frost, the
beans are apt to sprout and shrink,
which is not the case with oats or hay
when properly ground. saw9ust ma

much heat for the ordinary castor,

The New Church organ.

For all their fuss and search,
They've done just what they said they'd d,

In every body's sight. l.

For it never was my desire
To praise the Lord by note.
