Accordlngto recent statement by the Wash

Congress In the rates Of letter postage. The
effort to reduce single postage to two cents did
not succeed. The provision requiring the pre-

are mailed, also failed to pass Daily papers

DEATH FROM SMoKiNG.-The New York
correspondent to the Buffalo Courier reports a
sad case of death resulting from smoking. He
says that for thirty years the victim hadbeen a
heavy smoker of the choicest cigars, but in all
his other habits temperate and regular, and of
excellent constitution-cne who, of all men,
would laugh at the suggestion that tobacco
was killing him. On Sunday he was stricken
with progressive paralysis characteristic of nico-
tine, and on the next Sunday night he died.
His death was most pitiful. First, sight was
lost, then speech, then motion of the neck, then
motion Of the arms, and so on throughout The
body, and he lay for fortnight unable to
move or make sign, save pitiful tongueless,
inarticulate sounds. which somntimes almost
rose to fantic effort, all in vain, to make known
what he wished to say TO his relatives or friends
for his consciousness and mental faculties
were left unimpaired I'LL within two hours of
the last, TO aggravate TO the utmost the horror
| OF his situation-a living soul in dead body
The sense Of hearing was left uniinpaired so
| that he was conscious of all around him, while
as incapable Of communicating with them as if
dead, save by a slight sign of assent or dissent
to the question. The doctors were fully
convinced that tobacco was the cause of his

LIME AND SALT MixTuREs.-Prof. johnson
recommends for fertilizin, purposes to mix one
bushel OF salt and two bushels of lime under
cover, and allow the mixture to decompose
gradually, thus forming an intimate chemical
union OF the two materials. For this purpose
the mixture shou!d-be made at least six weeks
before USE or still better, two or three months

at the rate Of twenty or thirty bushels per acre,

Young America or the Age Of Progress.

There was a time when girls aud boys

That boys stand on ilnir dignity.

Than dad at forty, that vow.
The girl Of sweet fourteen eau see,
As far as Nam at thirty three;

Like old stage coach with railroad car.
The old folks are content to see
Every thing move gradually,
While Young America doth say,
Come hurry up you're in my way.
The old folks stop and hesitate,
Our donbts and fears they. Calculate;
But Young America can't wait;
Such nonsense they wont contemplate.
The old folks ask us now to think,
How hard they've toil'd for meat and drink,
And have little laid away
In case Of an unlucky day.

What dad and nam did for their fare;

FEEDING OATS TO CoLTs.-A correspondent
of the Maine Farmer saws: 81 have always
found that generous feeding pays the best, and
have found nothing so good for colts as gen
erous supply of oats, regularly fed. There is
not much danger Of feeding too mny; the
danger is in the opposite direction. The most
critical part of the colts life is perhaps the first
winter, when lie should be literally fed with
oats or oatmeal, with few potatoes, and have
daily exercise. One of your correspondents
prefers carrots to other roots for feed. This
does not agree with my experience. After CIV
ing carrots fair and thorough trial, extending
through three winters, l came to the concli-
sion (and think intelligently), that carrots as
feed for horses and colts are entirely worthless.
The more oats you feed to your colts, the more
| muscle, the more size, the more power, the
more endurance, the more style and speed YOU
obtain, and the more money vol get when you
| sell them"

1T NEVER PAYS.

Ii never pays to growl and fret
When fortune seems our foe;
The better bred will push ahead
Aud strike the drawer blow.
For luck is work,
And those who shirk
Sould not lament their doom,
But yield the day,
And clear the way,
That better men have room.
1t never pays TO foster PRIDE,
And sqnanGer time in show;
For friends thus won are sure to run
In Times of want or woe.
The noblest worth
Of all the earth
Are geirs OF heart and brain,
A conscience clear,
A household dear.
And hands without stain.
IL never pays to hate a foe,
Or cater TO a friend;
To fawn and whine, much less repine,
To borrow or to lend.
The faults ofmen
Are fewer when
Each rows his own canoe:
For feu9s and debts
And pampered pets,
Unbounded mischief brew.
1t never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain,
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is cheaply bought with pain.
humble lot,
A coy cot,
Have tempted even kings,
For station high,
That wealth will buy,
Not oft contentment brings.
1t never pays! blunt refrain
Well worthy of song;
For age and youth "ust learn the tru
That nothing pays that's wrong.
The good and pure
Alone are sure
To bring prolonged success,
While what is right
In Heavens sight
Is always sure TO bless.
