ATTACHMENT FOR NEWSPAPER. - The
strong attachment of subscribers to
we'll conducted newspapers is fully con-
6rmed by publishers. Stop my pa.
per- words of dread to beginners in
business, lose their terrors after a pa
per has been established for term ol
years. So long as paper pursues a
just, honorable and judicious course,
meeting the wants of its customers in
all respects the ties of friendship be-
tween the subscribers end the paper
are as hard to break by an outside
third party rs the links which bind
old friends in business or social life.
Occasional defects and errors in "a
newspaper are overlooked by those who
have been attached to it through its Pc
rusal for years. They sometimes be-
come dissatisfied with on account of
some thing which had slipped into its
columns and may stop taking it, but
the absence of the familiar sheet at
their homes or Offices for few weeks
becomes an unsupportable privation,
and they hasten to take it again, and
may be, apologize for having it stopped.
This we believe to be the common eX-
perience of all established newspapers.
No friendship on earth is more constant
than that contracted by the reader OF
a journal which makes an honest and
earnest effort to merit his continued
support. Hence the newspaper becomes
q favorite in the family.

How LONG SHALL We SLEEp?-The
fact is, that as life becomes concen-
trated, and its pursuits more eager,
short sleep and early rising becomes
impossible. We take more sleep than
our ancestors, and we take more be-
cause we want more. Six hours sleep
will do very we'll for a ploughman or a
brick layer, or any other man who has
no exhaustion but that produced by
manual labor, and the sooner he takes
it after his labor is over, the better.
But for man whose labor is mental
the stress of work is on his brain and
for him who is tired in the evening
with day OF mental application, neith-
er early to bed nor early to risc is

to the level of repose. The longer the
interval between the active use of the
brain and his retirement to bed, the
better his chance for refreshment and
sleep. To him an hour after midnight
is probably as good rs two hours be-
fore it, and even then his sleep will not
so completely and quickly restore him
as it will his neighbor who is physic-
ally tired. He must not only go to
bed later, but lie longer His best
sleep probably lies in the early morning
hours, when all the nervous excitement

The REMOVAL OF THE DEPOSITS. The
admirers of U. S. Grant are fond Of
comparing him to President jackson.
There is reason to believe that his Ex-
cellency cherishes the fond delusion
that lie is very much like that old
gnarled knot of hickory. And he
strives to initiate him. But what was
manly firmness in Jackson degenerates
into sheer mulishness in his successor.
One of the grandest deeds of jackson S
administration, one of the occasions
when he dared to " take the response
bility," was when he removed the de-
posits from the United States Bank.
President Grant has long aspired to
emulate that achievement. The oppor-
tunity has not presented itself until
recently. When the Ring National
Bank in Washington found itself ON
the verge of bursting, the President
was quietly notified, and he proceeded
Immediately to remove his deposits. !"
This entities him to the soubriqet of
4" the second jackson" Let the Union
League Club be notified at once.

TERRIBLE SHIPwEEcK ON LAKE MIcHI-
eAN.-Grand Haven, Sept. 25.-The schooner
"Whlting" went ashore near this city last night,
and since daylight the wind has been blowing a
terrible gale from the west. The vessel Is heavi-
ly loaded with salt, aud her deck Is even with
the water. At niue A. NJ, the captain and one
han jumped overheard, and, to the surprise of
an assembled crowd, succeeded in reaching the
beach.
Soon after this, one Of the Ironsides' life
boats, manned by crew of five men, put of
from shore, but, before reaching the schooner.
filled and capsized, one of the crew, named Cof-
fee, resident Of Grand Haven, being drowned.
The tug Meranda then started, with one life
boat and one yawl astern, and succeed ed In
drifting alongside the schooner. Four men
jumpsd from her rigging into the boat, and
were greetedb by tho cheers of thousand spec
tators.
The next moment the yawl plunged under
the schooner's bobstay and rolled over. Three
OF the sailors again succeeded In reaching the
rigging. Another was seen for moment, when
an immense breaker swept the poor fellow out
OF sight. The tug came into port, righted the
boats and again started for the schooner. Again
the boat got to the vessels side, but swainpcd
before the men could leave the rigging. At
half-past one z. N. the Miranda got alongside
the schooner and took off three men. The
bodies of the two who were drowned have not
yet been recovered.

The Door UNLocKED.-Some time since.
wished to enter strange church with a min.
lister, little before the time for service. We
procured a key, but tried In vain TO unlock the
outside door with IL. We concluded we had
the wrong key, and sent TO the jani,or for tbe
right one. But he came and told us that the
door was already unlocked. All we had to do
was to push, and the door would open. We
thought ourselves locked out when there WA,
nothing to hinder US from entering.
In the same way We fail to enter into love
Aud fellowship with God. This door, we think.
Is locked against IT'S. We try TO tit some kew
OF extraordinary faith TO open it. We try 70
get our minds wrought up to some high pitch OF
ieeling. We say, ~ have the wrong key I
must feel more sorry must weep more" ."-
And all the time the door is ready to open, IL
we but come boldly, with humble earnestness,
to the throne OF grace. We may enter freely,
At once, without having to unlock tho door -
Christ is the Door, and His heart is not shut
against us. We must enter without stopping
TO Mt our key Of studied faith, for His mercy is
not locked up. We must enter boldly, trust
lngiy, not doubling His readiness to receive US,
"Just as We are" He is willing already. and
we must not stop to make Him willing by our

A REMARKABLE Cow.-At the recent sale OF
MIR. Campbelrs Short Horns, held at New York
Mills, N. Y, the 9Th Dutchess of Geneva, a
pure Dutchess COW, year. old, was sold at auc-
tton to Mr. P. Davis of Gloucester, England, for
S4O,6OO. In purchasing cows for our own dairy,
we are accustomed to make an estimate of tie
quantity of cheese or butter she will be likely to
yield, and to calculate somewhat as 10 how Tie
investment will pay. TIE old rule among dairy
farmers was, that u cow ought to yield a quan-
tity of cheese the first year sufficient to paw for
her cost; that is to say, by not counting for her
pasturage, care aud keep, and the labor of milk
ing, the sale of her product should above cover
the Price paid for the cow, SO that at the end of
the season Tie cow may be said to have spaid
Tor herself If we measure the Sth Dutche.s
oil Geneva by this rule, and assume that she will
yield 500 pounds of cheese the first season, we
fnd that the cheese must sell for SO. 1920 per
pound to meet her cost. Or II she Is supposed
TO yield during the year $50 pounds of butter
her butter must bring $l62 per pound This is
considerably above the present market value for
gilt edged goods, and a little above what peo-
pie IN ordinary circumstances would feel able
TO pay
But suppose the Dutchess' should, by G n ex-
ira effort, yield 600 pounds of cheese during the
year, then II the cheese melted the farmer (after
paying factory chaiges) l0c. per pound, 1t wouli
take her U7G years ut this rate, to pay her first
cost, to say nothing of the interest accumulat-
ing on the Investment. As We do not expect
10 run dairy farm 676 years, we prefer to
make our money otherwise than In milking this
CIV.
Again, the interest on $4,000 at Z per cent.
per annum, Is $2,S42. So, ii ''the DutcIless"
yields her 900 pounds of cheese the coming
year, The cheese must sell at $5.GS per lb. to pay
Interest on the investment. The price named
Is higher than we can naturally expect cheese
VIII command next year, unless the quality or
fhan of lot nnt
supposing the cheese nets the farmer lOc per
pound after deducting manufacturing charges,
then it appears it our logarithms ami algebra
are correct that IL will take 81 years and some
Fractions Of "a year To pay the interest for one
year on tue Investment. If We were ex cessiye-
y fond OF working out mathematical pr roblems,
the sale ofthis 18th Dutchess of Geneva would
suggest variety OF propositions in the higher
mathematics, which We should like to sec soly-
ed for the Use Of daliymen, and to show how,a
high-priced COW cali be made to pay in the dairy
business.-Rmdi Ne,g Yorker.

Sale Of St0ck.-At the sal, by John K. Dol

that was very nearly If not quite equal In ap-
pearance to the famous Ida cow sold at New
