With muf1ed roar the white waves fall
On miles of yellow sand,
And gentle do the sweet winds blow
Across the flowery land,
Where, blessed by mild and mellow moons,
Meath softest azure Skies
And wooed by fervid, sultry moons,
The lovely South land lies.
CHonus =
The lovely Southland lies, my friends,
The lovely Southland lies,
And wooed by fervid, sultry noons,.
The lovely Southland lies.
IF colder is our Northern Cline
Our hearts are warm and true;
Since we are Brethren Of the Quill,
What matters gray or blue?
So, drifted past the storm of war
To Isles of peace and calm,
The lakes give greeting to the sea,
The pine unto the palm.
Chorus -
The pine unto the palm, my friends,
The pine unto the palm,
The lakes give greeting to the sea,
The pine unto the palm.
Though States may sever. parties strive,
And wide our difference be-
Yet in the kingdom of the mind,
Opinions must be free;
And therefore, whilst the world goes round,
In every seasons stress
Well cherish always firm and strong
The union of the Press.
CHORUS -
The union of the Press, my friends,
The union of the Press,
Well cherish always firm and strong,
The union of the Press

Stephen Aliens POcket-Piece.
In the pocket book of Hon. Stephen AL
len, who was drowned on board the Henry
~ Clay, was found printed slip apparent
ly cut from newspaper, of which the fol-
lowing is copy. 1t is worthy to BIO put in
every newspaper and engraved on every
young mans heart:
Make few promises.
Always speak the truth.
Never speak evil of any one.
Keep good company or none.
Live up to your engagements.
Never play at any game of chance.
Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors.
Keep your own secrets if you have any.
Never borrow if you can possibly help
Do not marry until you are able to sup
port wife
Keep yourself innocent if you would be
happy.
When you speak to person look him in
the face
Make no haste to be rich.if you would
prosper.
Ever live (misfortune excepted) within
your income.
Save When you are young to spend when
you are old
Avoid temptation, through fear you may
not withstand it.
Never run into debt unless you see way
to get out again.
Small and steady gains give competency
with tranquil mind
Good company and good conversation are
the sinews Of virtue
Your character cannot be essentially in.
jured except by your own acts.
Ii any one speaks evil of you, let your
life be SO that no one will believe him.
When you retire to bed, think over what
you have been doing during The day.
Never be idle; if your hands can't be
employed usefully, attend to the cultivation
of your mind.
Read over the above maxims carefully
and thoroughly at least once every week.

The Country Press.

The American Newspaper Reporter does
simple justice to our country friends of the
Press, in the following very truthful para.
graph:
Few people appreciate the value of the
village papers which gather up the news of
country and advocate the interest of 10.
cality. And few understand the amount of
ability required to edit such paper, where
one man must be editor, publisher, printer,
book-keeper and all. Imagine how much
the Intelligence of.the country would suffer
by the blotting out Of the country papers,
which treat the immediate interest of the
people, and thus come into immediate con-
tact with their minds,
The true country editor understands that
his paper thrives by being intensely local;
and it is not by learned editorials on tariff
and income tax. but by articles in favor of
the new railroad, by descriptions of the new
factory, by advocacy Of the new bridge, that
he must succeed. People look in his col
umns not only for the latest general news,
but for mention of every interesting fact,
of every curious matter Of gossip in his own
county. And thus the paper becomes the
reflector of the current events and the pub.
lie sentiment Of his section. Nothing is too
small to be itemized if only it is of interest.
A'country editor advertised the other day
that he would insert list of the names Of
all the people who had joined the churches
in the county in a recent revival. Which
showed that he understood his business.
He proposed to chronicle every event of
interest occurring in his jurisdiction.
Every intelligent family should give
cordial support to the local newspaper. It
is one of the great educational influences.
A BEAUTIFUL S1M1LE.-While Father
Ryan was speaking, not long since, in Mo.

lowing words, in pointing to heavy bank

TANNING MATERIAL.

sflssAmopc the enterprises which are at
tracing considerable attention in upper
M;chiean inst now Is the manufacturing OF
the extract of hemlock Tor tanning pur-
, poses. or in fact the tanning OF commerce,
heretofore obtained principally through
the use of oak bark. In this case 1t is OBJ
tanned not only from the bark, but also
from The boughs and foliage OF the hem
lock. By steaming and pressing. 1t Is
> thought that 1t can be produced al nuch
less cost than by the old process, ana the
LIQUOR offered to tanners IN lnach more
convenient forms, while for the tannln, or
6tanic acid of commerce, II will be far the
best If the liquid has anything like the
merits which is claimed for 1t. the fevolu-
rion which it will work in the tanning pro-
. cess can be easily anticipated. The prin..
cipal tanneries of the country are located
in forests far distant from slaughterlng
points, it being found far more convenient
70 transport the hides to the tanneries then
the bark to the hides. Ii this product will
do the work of tanning as well as it is
done by the old process. its principal mar
:ket will be on the Atlantic seaboards,
where the Australian and South American
hides are received, and the expense OF
constructing tanneries will be reduced
from one quarter to one-thrd, while the
freight on it to the seaboard will not aggre-
gate any more than the freights now av-
craze on the hides to the tanneries. Be
sides, it will be of great advantage to all
local tauneries, throughout the country.
