ATTRACTING ATTENTIoN-Tt is way
happiness without it. Unless they can
be a central point in a room, the per-
sons to whom the largest amount of
attention is given, and who attract all
regards, they are miserable; if they are
sensitive as well as vain, they fret at
being snubbed if only vain, they chafe
at undeserVed neglect. This compare
tive neglect they cannot endure; their
egotism must have attention by fair
means or fouly they must do or say
something to startle the surrounding
world into eager observation, and so
bring themselves to the front. They
are not in the least degree particular as
to their method.
When they cannot attract attention
by supremacy in grace, in beauty, in
wit, they manage to do so by exaggera-
ton; by outrage ageousness in dress, by au-
dacity of speech, by insolence, or eceen-
tricity of bearing they are satisfied If
their bisGrrerte attracts and they are
not over critical as to the quality of at
tention it brings them. They never see
the covert satire never catch the subtle
sneer; they are imperVious to rfdieule,
deaf and blind to contempt. So long as
they see all eyes turned on them, solong
as they are in the centre of a crowd gap
ing open -mouthed with undisguised as
tonishment, or viewing them with but
ter bred composuTe through a forest of
up1ifted glasses, they are satisfied with
life on the whole, and have no com
plants to make against their lot.

THE SERENITY OF DYING.-Tt has so
happened that | have seen many men
and women die. Without design or
disposition on my part, | have very
many times been present when sick per-
sons were ebbing to eternity. I have
seen men and women, young and old,
cultivated and ignorant, orthodox, and
heretOdOx, in their last moments, and
as a rule, all of them passed away, if not
without regret, at least with entire res
ignation. None of them showed dread
of the future. Their thoughts were
fixed on what they were quitting, not
on what they were going to do. / OBJ
served that some of them were troubled.
perhaps distressed, when they fist
thought they could not recover, but that,
the nearer their end came, the less ap-
prehensive and calmer they grew, Hav-
ing once banished hope tranquility
seemed to descend upon them as a sub
stitute, and afterward, if free from pain,
there. was unruf1ed peace. If encour-
aged to believe that they might get
we'll, or if they had a favorable turn,
the old anxiety, with something of the
former apprehension, re-appeared, prov
ing that their mental disquietude was
born of their expectation of life, not OF
their fear of death. Thus was estab-
Hshed a clear analogy between material
and spiritual anguish under the same
circumstances. As we have seen, those
who are badly hurt or seriously i'll, ex.
perience suffering in going back to life
while the downward path to death, both
by the body and the soul, is paved with
smOothness and serenity,

THE KONDEM PHOOL.-Thare IL two
kinds of phoOls, at the date ov this ar
tiCle, laying around loose in the world:
one il the nGtrGt, and the other IL the
kORdem.
Thare IL sum other kind Ov phools be-
sides these, which | shall tutch lightly
before get thru.
The natral phool kant help it, he il
born like the daily, bi the side Ov the
road, just to nod, and to be sport for the
winds.
He haz no destiny to phil, that we
know Oy, but hiz Heavenly Father will
care for him, for He cares for the koarse
weed and the rank thissell.
The kOndem phOOl IL a self-made
man, and il entitled teW all the credit
Ov the job.
Natur turns him out loose into the
world, iist as she duZ her other works,
with all hiz fakultys in good order, but
like ram in a bak lot, he undertakes
tew knox down stun fence with hiz
head, and finds the stun fence too much
for the ockashun.
He often haz he'd phull Ov branes,
but like swarm of beeze, they keep up
sich a buzzing they bewilder him.
The kOndem phOOl generally lacks but
one thing tew make him all the suckCess
he could ask for, and that one thing IL
common sense.
Common sense IL all greek tew these
kind Ov phellOws; they kan often rite
poetry that reads az smooth and sweet
az lie and mOlassis mkt together, and
kan even deliver lekturs all around the
kuntry, but one dose Ov common sense
would take all the starch ont of them,
and leave them az limsey az the mex Ov
ded gOslin.
The kondem phool il the kauze ov
most all the truble thare IL in this world;
he amt alwus malishus, but il alwus
phOOl.
I divide the populashun Ov the whole
world into heaps and out ov resDect
for the parable Ov the virgins in the BIZ
BILE, call of them wize and 5 Ov them
phOOlish.
1t is very easy tew be o kOndem
phool; emmy boldly kan be one, and not
suspekt it.
There il large invoice of phOOls just
pressing upon the market, but the mar
ket for them il stiddy, the demand al
wus being phull up tew the supply.
IrekOlekt of Onst saying, upon a men,
Orable ockashun, Il don't rekOIek the
Ockashun nOW,) God bless the phoOls,
and don't let them run out, for if it want
for them, the rest Ov the world would
be bothered tew git good living.
Among the list ov prominent phoOls,
take the liberty to introduce the follow
| ing:
The professional Phool,n one who
travels for living.
The "Wag Phool," one who is a plrool
on private ackount.
The Dizziness PpoOl," one who either
Bulls or Bears everythingin the market.
The "Radikal Phool," one who kant
help it.
The "Conservatiff Phool," one who
kan help it, but wont.
The "Meek PhOol," one who sez he
prefers kOdphish bawls to pOrterhOus
stakes, or even quales on toast.
The "Hipreshure PhoOl," one who,
like the hornet, alwus keeps mad in ad-
vance, so az teW be reddy for the ocl1a-
shun.
The "Silly Phool," one who thinks
the whole civilized world il in luv with
him.
The "Wize PhOol," one who thinks
he knoze all things and luvs everybody.
And four thousand, hundred and Sc
other distin KIT kinds OV phools, which
i haint got the pashunce tew elucidate
now.-[J0sh Billings.

BREAD FRUIT. - The fruit of the
bread tree-which is a native of the
Sou h Sea Islands-ripens during eight
consecutive months in the year. The
islanders live upon it as we do upon
our manufactured bread - it is their
main food, and nature, as we see, fur
nishes it to them without their being
put to the trouble of cultivating the
ground, or sowing, reaping, threshing,
grinding or baking. To have their
'fresh Bread" they choose the time
when the pulpis farinaceous, which they
can tell by the green color of the rind.
The necessary preparation ''for the
table" is accomplished by cutting them
in thin slices and cooking them upon a
charcoal fire. When ready, each loaf,
as we would say, weighs about pound.
They are sometimes placed upon heat
ed oven, as we do with pastry, and left
there until the rind begins to blacken.
Then the burnt part is scraped clean, as
your toast, and the interior is white,
readygtO be eaten, tender as the crumbs
of French rolls, but little differing in
taste to wheaton bread, except only a
slight flavor, suggestive Of the inside OF
an artichoke. AS the natives want
bread throughout the whole'year, they
take advantage Of the time when the
fruit is abundant and prepare from the
pulp Of the surplus fruit a paste, which,
after being fermented, can be kept a
long time without turning sour. Du-
ring the four months when the trees do
not yield, the natives live upon this
preparation,

Prevention of DaRmpness.

Dampness in walls is often great
annoyance to hOusckeepers, and in
moist climates good precautions should
be taken to keep it out the walls and
buildings. 1t may be prevented from
rising IN brick or stone walls by thor
Ough application of asphaltum to the
upper portion of the foundation, or to
several Of the lower tiers of brick. As
phaltum thoroughly applied to the out
side OF brick work will also prevent the
lngress OF dampness. The walls may be
painted over asphaltum, if DESIRED
Another method is also recommended
by q leading scientific paper as follows ::
Three quarters of pound of mOttled
soap are to be dissolved with one gallon
Of boiling water, and the hot solution
Spread steadily with a fiat brush over
the outer surface of the brick work,
taking care that it does not lather: this
is to be allowed to dry for twenty-four
hours, when solution formed of a
quarter Of pound of alum dissolved
IN two gallons of water is to be applied
in a similar manner over the coating of
soap. The operation should be perform
ed in dry, settled weather. The soap
and alum naturally decOmpOse each
other, and form an insOluble varnish,
NIllCll lIi6 IiIu is ll1dUl6 10 penetrate,
and this cause of dampness is thus eff
fectually removed.
Alum is also valuable preventative
of mildew. Cloths or other fabrics dip
ped into strong alum water, are proof
against mildew, no matter how much
they may afterwards be exposed to
damps or other causes favoring the
growth of this disagreeable fungus.
About year ago, says a correspond
ent Of the Journal Of Chemistry, was
filling up large scrap-book, and in the
course Of my work, used in connection
with a gOOdly amount of paste, a small
quantity that had alum in it. A spell
OF wet weather coming on before my
book was dry, caused it to mildew badly
throughout, except where the alum
paste had been used; there no trace of
mildew was to be seen. Upon observ-
ing this, | began trying various expert
ments with alum as a mildew preven-
tive, all of which succeeded, though
| put to the most severe tests. I there
| fore feel that have, by the merest ac-
cident, made Valuable discovery, and
as such | take pleasure in offering it to
the public.-[Pacitic Rural Press.

THE New POSTAL LAw.-The Postal
Appropriation bill approved March Sd,
1878, contained the following clause:
provided that all laws and parts of
laws permitting the transmission by
mail of any free matter whatever be and
the same are hereby repealed from and
after June 80, 1873"
This abOlishes the 'franking privilege
held by Congress and so many Govern
ment officials.
This abolishes section 35 of the act
of March 8, 1858: "but the publishers
of weekly newspapers may send to
each actual subscriber within the county
where their papers are printed and
published one copy thereof free of pos
tage."
This abOlishes section As Of the same
act: "All publishers of periodicals, ma
gaines, and newspapers which shall
not exceed sixteen ounces in Weight
shall be allowed to interchange their
publications reciprOcally free Of post
age: provided, that such interchange
shall be canfined to single copy of such
publication"
The laws remain unchanged which
permit prepayment of postage on news
papers at the office of mailing or deliv-
cry, at the option of the subscriber, and
prepayment by news dealers "upOn theil
packages as received" .-..

The following is from the Bossier

AC 4UuON1uE5 40 AAOLA CuO DOSSACA
Banner:
The first object of the Northern farmer is to
make the farm self-sustaining, while the first
object of the Southern farmer is to make money
at the expense of the farm.-LRural Southland.
Never was a more solemn and impor-
tant truth told in fewer words. Never
was the thrift and foresight Of the ONE,
and the blindness, stupidity, reckless
ness and the suicidal course of the
OTHER more aptly and fifty exposed.
Southern farmers and planters will sit
down and cool1y argue that we cannot
afford to raise grain and stock on lands
worth from fifty to seventy-fve dollars
per acre, entirely ignoring the fact that
all the west has grown rich raising pro-
visions and stock on lands worth from
one hundred to one hundred and fifty
dollars per acre, and finding remuner-
ative market for the same among these
same planters of the South who cannot
afford to raise it on land not half as
valuable. We will always remain tri-
butary to the North till we commence
to make everything within ourselves; !;
till we begin to feed our lands, and in
stead of impoverishing them, make our
own manures and improve and enrich
them. At the end Of this century the
South, pursuing her present depicting
process, will be the poorest country on
the globe. We will have nothing but
old places worn out making cotton to
buy western produce and northern
goods. Whom the Gods intend to. de-
strOy they first make mad. CONFAB.

WHO IS A GENTLEMAN?- Am exchange
copies the following correct and com
prehenslhie answer to the above ques-
tlon, and urges every child, as we'll as
grown persons, to commit it to memory,
to be reviewed as often as. practicable !:
A gentleman is not merely a person
acquainted with certain forms and eti-
quette OF life, easy and self-pOssessed
in society, able to speak and act and
move in the world without awkward
ness, and free from habits which are
vulgar and in bad taste. A gentleman is
something beyond this; that which lies
at the foot of all his pleasing is the same
spirit which lies at the root of every
Christian virtue. 1t is the thoughtful
desire of doing in every instance to
others as he would that others should
do to him. He is constantly thinking,
not indeed how he may give pleasure to
others for the mere sense of pleasing,
how he can show respect to others
how he can avoid hurting their feelings.
When he Is IN society, he sCrupulOusly
ascertalns the position and relations of
every one with whom he comes in con-
tact, that he may give to each his due
honor, his proper position. He studies
how he may avoid touching in CONVEX
sation upon any subject which may
needLessly hurt their feelings-hOw he
may abstain from any illusions which
may call up disagreeable or offensive
association. A gentleman never alludes
to, never even appears conscious of any
PERSONS defect, bodily deformity, infe-
riority of talent, Of reputation in the
person in whose society he is placed.
He never assumes any superiority to
himself-never ridicules, never sneers,
never boasts, never makes a display of
his own power, or rank, or advantages
such as is implied in ridicule, or sarcasm,
OF abuse-as he never indulges in habits,
or tricks, or inclinatiOns which may be
offensive to others.

IMPROVED LIQUID GLUE.-An i'm
proved liquid glue, according to the
Journal of Applied Chemistry may be
prepared by dissOlVing three parts of
glue, broken into small pieces, in twelve
to fifteen parts of saeeharate of lime.
On warming, the glue dissolVes rapidly,
and remains liquid when cold, without
losing it's strength. ANY desirable con-
sistency may be secured by varying the
amount of saccharate Of lime. On
warming, the glue dissolves rapidly,
and remains liquid when cold, without
losing its strength. Any desirable con-
sisteney may be secured by varying the
amonnt of saecharate of lime. The
thicker glue keeps its muddy color, the
thin becomes clear, on standing, The
saccharate of lime is prepared by taking
one part of lOaf-sugar and dissOlving it
in three parts of water, adding to the
sugar one fourth part of its weight of
Stacked lime, and heating the whole to
145 deg. OF 1865 deg. and allowing it to
macerate for several days, with fire.
uuent shaking. The greater part of the
lime will be thus dissolved, and the
solution may be decanted from the
lime sediment, which has the properties
of mucilage. The solution of the glue
in the saceharate of lime may be made
very readily, and even old gelatine,
which has become insoluble in water,
viii be easily dissolved. The glue has
great adhesiveness, and admits of very
many uses.
