GOLDEN BRICKS.

Pure love never livss in setting of
dissipation.
The true ladyis just as much a
lady in calico as in silk.
A patched coat is not disgrace,
but patched reputation is.
Money is like knowledge-of no
use, except when in circulation.
Flowers and love each die in dirt,
as each lourishes in clean, good soil.
Instead of casting all your burdens
on the Lord, would it not be better
to get away with some OF them your
self?
She man who is rich to-day has no
certainty of the morrow, as the world
and misfortune each goes round and
round.
IL hondholders can be legislated to
live without work, why not legisiate
that landholders can live in the same
easy way?
A common school education is Sths
small change of life, and If you hays
enough of it you can always get wha
you want.

soon after their great triumph at
Philadelphia, will serve to keep be-
fore foreigners the growing impor-
tance fthese outliving portions of the
English Empire. The colonial and
Indian exhibits at Paris will certainly
have done more to impress all nations
with the extent of the English power
and resources than anything which
could have been done by m cans of
books or dispatches. Such success,
however, tells in two ways. While
it enables the colonies to find new
markets for their wares, it ais 10 shows
to foreign manufacturers that here is
a new field in which they may, per-
haps, hope to compte, in time, with
English, manufacturers. This eer-
tainly was the deduction VIII ieh the
Americans at once drew from what
they saw at Philadelphia, al id from
that time forward they have been
making great efforts to press their
goods on the Australian consumers.
In every direction the efforts are be-
ing made to capture the trade CT these
colonies, and unless the present pinch
of adyersity teaches the English a
good lesson to masters and men alike
the Paris Exhibition, like some of it's
predecessors, will scarcely benefit
them.
The Americans, on the other hand,
may congratulate themselves upon
their success at the Paris Exhibition,
more particularly as most of the OBJ
jects sent were not specially prepared
for the exhibition, but are types of
commercial stock. The number of
awards that they have received is
considerably above the average COM
pared with the articles submitted to
the jury, and the branches of indus
try in which they excel are chiefly
those of the greatest possible utility.
Thus, their agricultural implements,
all kinds of steam apparatus, tools,
sewing machines, horology, preserv-
ed meats and fruits, &C., as well as
such articles as jewellery, iron-works,
and the specimen of the telephone,
deservedly attract public attention
and admiration. Nonation can show
in their products so much inventive
wit, combined with such skilled exc
cution.
But America is no less successful in
material advantages. The Ameri-
cans have gained far greater mum
Der of prizes than they could have
hoped for. America occupies the
third rank among foreign nations,
On the whole, she is only surpassed
by England and Austria. CONNER
cially, they have greatly benefited
themselves by the Exhibition. Near
ly all their machines in the mechani
cal section are sold; several compa
MES have nothing more to sell. The
Exhibition will greatly influence tht
development of American trade
American machines attracted NOR,
attention than those of any country
The proprietors of all kinds of appa
ratus for economlzing hand labor
have received large orders.
