The DIalculty Of EcOuomI.inr.

The real objection to living simply
and cheaply Is that one cannot afford
It. A few geniuses can strike out new
plans Of life, but most men will find
that more trouble Is saved by falling in
with the stream than by struggling
against it. The man who tries to di.
vide his allegiance, to remain in the
world without paying the worlds price
for 1t, will generally have little reward
beyond the trihing satisfaction Of a
good conscience. In one sense it mhy
almost be said that saving comes easier
tothe poor man than to his richer neigh.

bound are riveted upon us with terrible

Increase Of Suicide.

A practical proof Of the infldelity Of
The times exists in the fact that, accord.
ing to statistical authorities, suicide is
in tho most countries on the increase.
The percentage OF death from this cause
has risen in England, and Fnnce has
lately been suffering from n periodical

ago five suicides occurred in Paris on
the same day. A woman aged sixty.

Prussian hung himself from misery and
despair, greatly, probably, to the salts
faction OF his Gallo neighbors who may
probably have helped to produce these
emotions. A young man Of nineteen
shot himself IRON the truly Partisan
cause OF disappointment in love, and
two young men Of twenty.seven and
twenty.fonr, for the same cause, stifled
themselves with charcoal. The variety
Of modes is curious. At every nge man
chooses particular methods OF commit.
ting suicide. In youth he Inns recourse
TO hanging, which he soon abandons
for firearms. In proportion as his
vigor declines, he returns to his first
mode, and it is most commonly by hang.

We should advocate a dog show in
each State il thereby could be got to.
gether all the dogs, good, bad, and in.
different. that go to make up doglom.
We should advocate this for the benefit
of agriculture; for we fancy that il
many farmers who now keep worthless,
or worse than worthless ours, were to
see and know what q really good and
valuable dog is, they would consent to
dispatch their ours and save their
neighbors their sheep. The dog shows
in England and France have, in some
measure, resulted in wedding out the
poorer and moro useless class Of dogs /;
and herein lies their utility, beside
proving attractive resorts for the popu-
lace. Whether our people would ride
long distances to SEQ State dog show
or not, we might try the experiment as
a reformatory movement. II agricultu.
rists must keep dogs, they should keep
those that are most docile, sagacious,
and useful.

A Marine Monster.

Lake Champlain is now infested by n
monster" A gang OF railroad men at
work near the shore recently saw what
appeared 10 be n serpent twenty feet in
length and twenty inches in diameter
coming toward them. As he rapidly
swan along, portions Of his body, which
seemed to be covered with bright, sill.
ver.like scales, glistened in the sun like
FURNISHED metal. From his nostrils he
would occasionally squirt streams OF
water above his head to an altitude OF
twenty feet. The appearance of his
head was round and flat, with hood
spreading ont from the lower part Of
it like a rubber cap often worn by
mariners, with cape to keep tho min
from running down the neck. His eyes
were small and piercing, his mouth
broad, and provided with two rows OF
teeth. As he moved of at the rate Of ten
miles an hour, portions Of his body ap.
peared above the surface Of the water,
while his tail, which resembles that of 4
fish, was thrown out OF the water quite
often. After keeping near the surface
for about quarter Of n mile, his snake
ship suddenly disappeared from sight
entirely, and has not been seen since.
A few days since, General David Bar.
rett, Of Dresden, lost two calves from
his pasture. From tracks discovered,
it looks as II they had been dragged 10
the lake shore. Others in the vicinity
have lost their sheep and fowls. Be
fore taking much stock in this exceed.
ingly "Hshy" story, we should be glad
to know what is the ordinary beverage
used by the "awe-Stricken" beholders.

Beautiful girls are in our town,
Somebody loves them-every ones
Faces as radiant as the day.
Eyes as blue as the sky of May;
Pearly white teeth and ruby bps,
Moist with the nectar Cupid sips;
Musical voices, honey'd words,
warbling sweetly as forest birds.
With graceful forms of Grecian mould.
With auburn locks or curls of gold;
With willing hands and loving hearts,
Skillful in fine and useful arte;
Learning at home and taught at school,
Ready to pass the single rule
Let them be wedded-ev'1y one
Beautiful girls of our town.
Happy the house where they are found,
Happy the land where such abound;
Happy the mothers who can share
Kindly aid of such daughters fair;
Happy the brothers who, with pride.
Walk with such sisters by their side,
Happy the lovers who have won
Rosy.eheek'd girls of our town
After score of years go round,
Where viii these blooming girls be foundl
Some in palaces, some in cots,
Some with sobers'men; some with.sots,
Some in poverty, some in wealth.
Some in sickness, and some in health,
Some the favored rich of earth,
And some will sleep beneath the turf.
