One Cent a day.

Economy is the order of the hour, and every expenditure, however small, is ex- pected 10 give return in full value. Ev- cry family requires one good, reliable fam lily newspaper. If such an article can be procured for less than one cent for each working day of the year, we are not aware of it. A family newspaper should contain carefully prepared summary of all the news of the day, both Religious and secu- lar; and if arranged SO that the two depart ments may be separated and read by two individuals at the same time, so much the better. The Family Newspaper should have attractive reading and information for tue various members of the household Some portion of the paper should be deyot- ed every week to religious and moral i'm provement, to current secular news, to az riculture, commerce, markets, finance, to general literature &c.s with special de- pariment for the young. Above all, the Family Newspaper should be perfectly pure, and free from any contaminating in = huences in it's reading matter or in it's ad. vertisemehts. Too much attention canno, be paid to this feature, when the press is flooding the country with SO much that is vile and pernicious. To crown all, the family Newspaper should be nntrammelled by any utilization with sect or party, aAd should be free to give all the good news from and about all the world. If such a Family Newspaper can be had for one cent day, it should be taken by every family in the land.
 Such Family Newspaper in every re- spect we find the New York OBSERVER, now commencing its fifty-sixth volume. Progressive. comprehensive, sound, relia- ble, pure, it is just what is needed in your household. Send $3.l5 for year to the New York OBSERVER, 37 Park Row, New York. Sample cop,es are sent free.

A BoY's Su1c1DR.-The Rondout Free man gives particulars of singular suicide which occurred near Marlborough. The victim was Charles Warren, @ boy about fourteen years of age living in the eastern part of the town of Pattekill, and opposite the Ten Stone Meadow school house, com mitted suicide by shooting himself near the heart. His mother left him in the house writing letter while she went out for wa ter, and on returning she found him dead with pistol bali in his breast. A revol- yer was kept in drawar in the room and it was found with one chamber discharged and replaced in the drawer, showing that the boy had taken the pistol out, shot hi1a- self and then replaced it In the drawer. He never was suspected of anything wrong and was considered a model youth. After he was found dead his boots were removed, Tn one of which the following letter ad- dressed to his mother was discovered
 MOTHER Bury me in the commonest old packing box you can. Funerals are too expensive nowadays, and an old box is good enough for me anyway. Please to follow my orders, for ] am tired of living, good-by.
 It is generally supposed that the young man had been in trouble, known only to himself, which had affected his mind.

THE GOLDEN RULE for Thankseiviue week will contain the first of MT. Murray new series of Adirondack Tales; John Norton's Thanksgiving Party" The cur rent number contains an announcement of a reduction from $2 50 to ST. in price to all subscribers before Jan. lst. Mir. Mur. rays idea is to abolish agents, avoid pre- miums, and do away with special clubs - making the paper its own canvasser and premium, giving all subscribers the equal benefits of club rates at the lowest prlce- which is now extraordinarily cheap for a paper of this character. It is a decidedly new departure in religious and literary journalism, and the result will be watched with interest.

All manner of everything useful, as we'll as ornamental, can be found at the!r store, and half hour spent in ex- amining their stock is worth as much as a circus.

THE PHOTOGRAPH Mir. Thomas A. Ed ison has astonished the scientific world by the announcement of mechanical device whereby words spoken into a mouth piece are permanently recorded on a strip of pa per. So far there is nothing especially startling, but the process works both ways, as It were, and the strip of paper when it is again passed through the machine reprodu- ces all the original sounds. The device is simply an arrangement of vibrating plates. The discovery is made known through the Scientific American" which duly credits it with wonderful promise for the future. Not only is the human voice, with all its tones and infections, put upon record for future use, but music can be perfectly re corded and preserved in like manner. If one of these instruments had stood in the Roman senate chamber when Cesar deliy- cred the oration against CataIlne we could to-day pass the strip through the machine and hear every word, settling forever the Yexed question as to the proper pronuncia- tion of Latin. The invention is still in Q crude state, but the fact is regarded as set tied that it will record and produce sounds as we have stated. The invention is unlike the telephone, but it may be used in con- nection with it. The possibilities of such a discovery are sufficiently sensational. If we leave wholly out of sight the probability that what is said to-day may be repeated a hundred years after the speaker is dust, and consider only it's relations to present every day life, it is evident that revolution may result. What is the use of writing letters if by talking into moutbpiece at strip ot paper we may prepare all that we wish to say for the mails without the interyen- ton of pen and ink The telephone was wonderful in its day, but the photograph threatens to over shadow it.
