M. Jouglet, an ingenious French
man, claims that he has invented pro
CESS Of making sugar by making an arti-
fetal combination of it's constituents,
carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. ne
says he can make his Jouglet sugar Tor
fifty cents per cwt., or half cent pei,
pound, which, if true, will "raise cam
among the sugar planters. Nj. Jouglet'
by his invention extracts sugar from
old bones, oyster cans, rags, sardine-
boxes, secondhand spelling-bOoks, rot
ten apples, and Irish potatoes. Ii ne
tells the truth, his name will be rolled
like sweet morsel under the tongue OF
every child that loves TO rob its mothers
sugar bowl.
MIR. COville says looking-glass
affords woman n marvellous amount
of comfort and qualification. He says
his wife thinks Just as much of consult
ing her glass when she ties on her apron
as when she tries ON her bonnet. He
SAYS that when there is a knock at the
door, he goes there at once, but his
wife, on the contrary, calculates, "Mer-
cy. Joseph, who's that ?" and dashes
for the looking-glass the first thing.

For God is over all and heaven above thee
Hope on, hope ever. Gerald Aassep.
