have been close students of the admirable
exhibits from abroad, and have taken ad-
vantage thereof.

delphia, the State of Pennsylvania, the Ma

The redde-t apple, all the cakes

Where can the darling ever be?
He does not tease and storm and pout
To climb the roof in rain and sun,
And pull the pigeons feathers ont
To see how it will look with none,
Or fight the hornets, one by one.
He does not hide, and cut his hair.
And wind the watches wrong, and try
To throw the kitten down the etair
To see how often it can die.
(It's strange that yOu can wonder why.)
He never wakes too late to know
A bird is singing near his bed;
He tells the tired moon. You may 90

When told to do a thing, Tell Fred"
If said SO" he would not stay
TO lose his ha or break Il toy,
Then hurry like the wind away,
And whistle like the wind for joy,
To please himself-this Little Boy.
Let any stranger come who can.

-Pig-iron paving has lately been
introduced in Paris as a substitute for
the various kinds at present employed.
A bed of mortar is first laid down,
which is covered by strong layer OF
asphalt, and it is in this layer that the
IRON cakes, which are about one-slxth
of an inch thick, are uniformly set.
These cakes, it is asserted, preserve
the homogeneity of the bitumen and
prevent its depression, thus rendering
the asphalt less slippery for travel.
Though more costly than the simple
compressed asphalt, it is estimated that
this new pavement will save some
fifty per cent. upon the repairing ex-
penses, which are well known to be
very considerable. To prevent the
depression that occur in much USED
roads is a great desideratum IN paw

sense of future foolishness; true, no
one can tell what the morrow may
bring forth, we predict a flush of
April fools.
MIR. and Mrs. VIM. Wales started
for New York on Monday; they in
tend making their home at Portville,
that State, for time at least.
Homer Towner was afflicted with a
serious sore throat and cold for nearly
week; we are glad to see him around
again.
Several petty thefts have occurred
in the neigbborhood lately, of pro-
visions and bed clothing. Hard times
do not cover such ohenses.
One load of Mr., Harringtons
household goods passed through here
yesterday bound for Edenburg. We
consider him truer prophet than the
grounding; he was sure of sleighing
enough to finish hauling the sawed
lumber, and so there is, almost. Hope
he will come back to sun himself oc-
casionally.
We had the pleasure of meeting
Mr.. McCray aud wife, now of Tionesta,
yesterday.
Miss June Siggins is about to re-
turn to her home, after quite lengthy

departure, in the words of that good
old tune, "March is not SO pleasa nj

Southern Travels.


On the 10th of February, we arose
from our slumber, with sore throat,
which we proceeded to lubricate in the
prevailing Southern fashion, and vast
ed some powder at pelicans and plume
birds. The old sailor cooked break
fast for us, and we bid him farewell
and started on. I..a .--ol
After getting through the Narrows,
we ran upon several oyster beds, but
as the wind was not very stiff, and our
boat was strong, We suffered no incon-
venience except having to get into the
water to shove the boat of. On ac-
count of the small size of our boat,
and the large amount of luggage there
in, we didn't take in any oysters, but
we were assured by several reliable
parties, that those taken here were
superior to any they had ever seen
elsewhere.
Shortly after leaving the Narrows,
we pass st. Lucie P. O., which is
about a mile and half North Of In.
dian River Inlet. Here lives old man
Payne, who is postmaster; Jim, his
son, who is Collector of the Port, and
another son, who raises cattle in the
neighborhood. The old man bears a
hard name among the neighbors, as a
crusty and cross old cuss. 1t is said,
(although just how much of the story
is fact, and how much fancy we don't
pretend to know that the old man on
one occasion, some years ago, went
down to Jupiter, took the man out OF
the lighthouse, stole ell the oil, and
waited PATIENTLY Ior some vessel to
come ashore on account of the absence
of the light. All we know of him is,
that he will not sell northerners, bread,
flour, OF anything else, unless they will
board with him, and pay $3.50 per
day therefor.
The Inlet is about hundred yards
vide, is five to eight feet deep, and is
a good place to catch fish. There is
not very much sailing done through
the inlet, because boats that are use.
ful On the sea, would at once stick on
the oyster bars if they came in; while
those used on the river are not of much
use on the high seas.
AT Bells, just opposite, we stopped
from about eleven o'clock until four
Cooked some very sad AaPjacks, and
some good coffee and pork. While

those sad faPjacks as a rare treat. Tn,

few, and easily supplied; A littl,

gets on this earth; but lie never smiles

nothing appears to astonish him a
much as to hear a good hearty laugh
