600 reams. Of coarse brown wrapping
paper. What this paper was used
FIR was for long time a mystery; but
it has recently been revealed that it
enters into the manufacture Of "pure
Havana cigars" tits said that when
saturated in the juice of tobacco stems
the straw paper makes filling" al
most equal, II not superior, to the gen.
uine leaf. In fact, il Is sometimes i'm.
possible to detect the delicate film Of
paper interlappei with leaves IN the
flushed cigar, or neatly folding the
exterior. For this purpose. We are
told. it serves admirably. the paper,
under combustion. leaving no residum
other than pure white ash. To such
n refinement Of art has this business
been carried that by the use Of ma
chimes ruled over the fheet Of paper
an almost perfect impression Of the to-
bacco leaf is obtained. the peculiar
"spois" being printed as Oh the calico.
Smokers Of Havana cigars will no
doubt consumc their "weed" with al
added zest after learning Of what it is
probably composed.

Sunday Filtration.

In a certain sense all attractive females
are fiirts. True, there are women about as
good looking as the rough side Of horse
radish CRATER, who read with glasses and
eat with porcelain teeth, and yet flirt.
There is an excuse for them. They are
obliged to snap at the first chance like
hungry wolves. But girls who don't have
to Jump at chances flirt because it is pretty
business. True, it is pretty and it is right.
That is the only way she is to find out what
her beau, possibly her future husband, is
like. A man always approaches a girl
dressed in society polteness, and it is the
girls duty to pierce this thin coating of
sugar and plum, and learn what is beneath.
She cannotaccomplish this without flirting.
Sunday is a blessed day for this semi-re-
ligious work. 1t is like an after-dinner
hour. The men are gallant, the ladies
melted out from the weekly stiffness, i'm
pulses are atop, thekey Of the conversation
delightful soprano, and the old people are
snoozingly satisfied in the cool back room,
or lazily content in church. In the even
ing the moon gives light enough to see the
palpable shafts Of woman's glance when
her head is bent forward. woman's face
never looks well by moonlight with the
chin salient, unless it is when the young
man has few of his fingers engaged in
supporting it. When the head i8 bent
downward the girl can look out of the tops
of her eyes. A man at all Interested will
wither like a cabbage leaf in August before
the glance Of 4 woman shot from the tips
of her eyes. Again on Sunday the heart
appears peculiarly soft and tender. There
is a pathetic sadness in tho associations
which the heart takes. And this is in the
woman's favor. She should lean away
from levity. No man ever mado any pro
gress in loving while woman was laugh
ing Nothing will sink into his soul like
that subdued confidingness of tono on sad
topics. A man may be worldly, but of all
things he dislilles it is worldliness in 0
young girl. Ifyou have any piety crowd il
up on Sunday evenings. Better begin
upon it in the morning.

A SOMNAMBULIsT IN THE PULPIT.-ReV. DR..
Shermer, pastor Of the Methodist Protestant
Church, Broadway and Monument streets,
in Baltimore, was in the midst of his SER
mon last Sunday night when rather
strange interruption occurred. A little
girl about ten years old arose from her seat
in pew beside her mother and walked up
the aisle into the pulpit, passing behind
the preacher. From the pulpit platform
she stepped on a chair, the back of which
was placed against the pulpit platform, and
from the chair on to the top of the COM
munion table, marble oblong slab several
feet long, in front Of the pulpit. She
walked the length of the table, and seemed
just about to step or fall to the floor when
she was caught by member of the church
who came forward. He lifted her down
when sne sank on the floor. She was i'm
mediately surrounded by the pastor, her
mother and other friends, who found that
she was sound asleep. She did not awake
until after her mother had removed
her to the pew from which she had
started on her peregrinations. She
said she dreamed she was in the pulpit.
DR.. Shermer says he thought she was some
child unused to the place who wanted O
drink of water from the pitcher usually
placed at hand for the preacher. He
noticed that her steps were light and
noiseless and her eyes fxed, but he did not
suspect she was walking in her sleep unit
she passed in front of him on the commun
ion table. 1t is stated that the child is no
used to sleep walking, this being her frs
performance.-Bal.S Sun.

AN OLD CoUPLE.-The Boston Herald of
Aug. 25, has this interesting item of social
gossip: "At HavOrhill, last evening, an
unusually interesting marrige ceremony
took place at the residence of Mr.. Daniel
L. Sawyer, Rev. A. A. Williams officiating.
The bridegroom was Eben II. Little,
eighty-two years old, native of Hemp
stead, N. H., and q successful Boston mer-
chant. The bride was Miss Jerusha Palmer,
eighty-four years old, wealthy maiden
lady, formerly residing on Bacon street,
Boston, but of late of Somerville. The
groomsman was master Anson Aver, four
teen years old, and the bridesmaid, Nellie
M. Sawyer, a miss of thirteen. The we'd
ding party consisted. of about thirty per
sons, relatives and friends, including ages
from the infant of thirteen months, with
its suggestive prattle, to those of three
score years. Mr.. Little has been married
once before, and several years ago passed
the period of his golden wedding. The
early hours of the honeymoon are toda,
being spent in an excursion down the rive
in the Queen Of the Merrimack, the party
being joined by Odd Fellows and Daughter
of Rebekah,"
Smyrna times., 1876-09-13

A HAPPY COUPLE.-A man should always
be little older, a little braver, little
stronger, and a little wiser, and little
more in love with her than she is with
him. A woman should always be a little
younger, and a little prettier, and a little
more considerate than her husband. lie
should bestow upon her his worldly goods;
and she should take good care of them.
lie may owe her every care and tenderness
that affection can prompt; but pecuniary
Indebtedness to her will be burden. Bet
ter live on a crust that he earns, than a
fortune she has brought him. Neither
must be Jealous nor give the other 4 cause
for jealousy-reither must encourage senti-
mental friendships with the opposite sex.
Perfect confidence in each other, and a
| reticence concerning their mutual affairs,
even to members of their own families, is a
| first necessity. wife should dress herself
becomingly whenever she expects to meet
her husbands eye. The man should not
grow slovenly, even at home. Fault-find,
ing long arguments or scolding ends the
happiness that begins in kisses and love
making Lovers are lovers no longer after
disturbances occur, and married people
who are not lovers are bound by red hot
chains. If man admires his wife most in
calico, she is silly not to wear it.
Smyrna times., 1876-09-13

TREATMENT OF CUTs.-In treatment of
ordinary cuts, cleanliness and care arc
generally more requisite than skill. If the
cut be extended. it becomes a moro urgent
matter Accidental cuts from knives, cut
ting tools, scythes, &c, are more likely to
occur on the face and limbs than on the
body. All that is requisite, in general, is
to bring the parts together as accurately as
possible, and to bind them up; that is
usually done by adhesive plaster, when the
cut ceases to bleed. Nothing is so good
for this purpose as paper previously washed
over on one side with thick gumwater, and
then dried; when used, it is only to be
slightly wetted with the tongue. When
the cut bleeds but little it is as well to soak
the parts in warm water for few minutes
or to keep a wet cloth on it. This removes
inflammation and pain, and also tendency
to faintness, which a cut gives some per
sons. If the bleeding be too copious, dat
the part with rag wetted with creosote
If the wound be large, it should be sewet
mn. If the blood that issues be very scarlet
IL NAV be concluded that an artery hal
been touched, and then where the bleeding
cannot be stopped, medical aid must b
procured; the best method to pursue is II
bind up tightly, the wound or to hold
finger against the part that bleeds.

A Swimming Match took place at Long
Branch on Friday last. The contestants
were Andrew Trautz and George Wade,
and the prize was one thousand dollars.
The distant SWAN was about six miles.
The sea was rather rough at the time, and
the start was made at 2.34, Wade taking
the lead. Wade swan easily and finely.
Trautz kept behind for most of the dis
tance, swimming mostly on his left side
and keeping his head well down. Wade's
stroke was forty-tive to the minute and
that of Trautz forty-eight. Trautz at last
dropped off his steady gate and shot out,
but was quickly followed by Wade, and for
half mile it was most exciting race.
For long time they were side by side,
neither leading until they were within ten
feet of the stake-hoat. Then Trautz made
bold dash and won the race by about two
feet Time, hour AZ minutes. A large
crowd witnessed the contest.

CHILD NATURE.-A child is social, there
fore he must have companions, and not be
left to the solitude of his home. lie is
active and fond of making-keep him busy
and help him TO produce things. He loves
the earth-give him a garden patch. lie
is an artist-give him music, initiative
action, and other appropriate means OF
expression. lie is curious-teach him to
think and discover. He is religious-lead
him to trust in God. On this last it has
been said: "God.trust, rock.firm God.trust
