In the city of Halifax there dwelt
lawyer crafty, subtle and cute as fox.
An Indian Of the Micmac tribe named
Simon, owed him some money. The law
yer had waited long for the tin. His
patience at last gave out, and he threat
ened the Indian with lawsuits, process
es and executions. The poor red man
got scared and brought the money to
his creditor. The lawyer took the mon
ey and then turned to his desk without
any acknowledgment. The Indian wait
ed, expecting the lawyer would write a
receipt.
"What are you waiting for q said
the lawyer.
"Receipt," said the Indian.
ga receipt" said he receipt; what
do you know about a receipt % tell me
the use of one and | will giveit to you.
The Indian looked at him a moment,
and then said:
'Spose maple me die, me 60 to heb.

tie Peter; he say "Simon, what you
want ?" me say, ''want to get in" ht

A YANKEES INvENTIoN.-The Scien-
tifc American describes strange fertil-
izer. At Stratford, Ct, where,mosqui-
toes are as thick as fog, lives an ingen-
ious Yankee, so they say, believe it who
may-who puts these insects to profitable
uses. He has invented large revolving
scoop net covered with lace. which is put
in motion by windmill, water power, or
steam. The lower half of the scoop is
placed in water The upper half moves
through the atmosphere, and at each TO-
tation draws an immense number of the
"squitoes" down into the water, where
they drown and sink to the bottom
Every revolution of the net draws in an
ounce of mosquitoes, or ton for $4,000
turns of the machine. The mosquitoes
thus collected make splendid manure
for the land, worth $40 ton.

The OLD FLAG.-In the state of Ma
ryland they have taken down the old
flags that were borne by the loyal regi-
ments of that state over the bloody fields
of the south, and the papers of the state
tell US "have packed them away in a
lumber room, used for storing old mus
kets and worn out militia material, that
their display may not keep in memory
that fratricidal strife which men of both
parties are willing to cast veil over"
Every true man, north and south, will
rejoice to see those wounds healed, and
the sooner the cure is effected the better,
for not only the nation but the world
1t is well to blot out the memory of
wrongs and crimes, but is it we'll to tear
out that leaf of history which tells of
the heroism of our fathers and brothers
who fought for the integrity of our COM
mon country? If our southern breth-
rem are not in any way to be reminded
of the patriotism of the soldiers of the
Union armies, then let us cease to decor
ate the graves of our fallen heroes, tear
down from their places the hallowed
swords that hang upon the walls of so
many households. and raze to the dust
the monuments which tell their story
1t is we'll to be consistent; and, if the
remains of our old war flags are to be
buried out of sight in garrets or junk
shops, let us destroy the pages that tell
their story.
