How WOOd-Pulp is Made.

So much is said about the paper

Any white, soft wood may be used.
The bark is taken Oft, the knots
and dark and decayed places cut.
1t is then put into a large cauldron
and boiled, which extracts all the
glutinous matter aud resin, and
reuders it soft. 1t is then put on a
large stone grinder with water
pouring on it all the time. The
grindstone wears of the tibres un-

pulp or anything else that has a
strong fibre, and receive the proper
constituents to make into paste,
after which it is run of into paper
sheets; whereas rags have to be
washed and bleached with chloride
of lime, soda ash, aud alum, and
such strong chemicals, to take out
the color. Then they are picked
to pieces and made into pulp. The
process By which wood.pulp is made
is purely mechanical. 1t can be
made cheap-say at about enc cent

The wine! the winei the ruddy wine,
That fills with joy this heart of mine!
From fields afar tn elixir came,
From over the wides and bounding main,
From the vine-elad hills Of sunny Spain !
1t came expeetant lips to kiss,
To wake the soul TO mirth aud bliss,
And the eyes OF the maid that stripp'd the
vines
Are seen in each pearly drop that shines
The wine the wine the purple wine,
Drawn from the clusters of the vine
In the elysian joys I'll seek
Till the burning flush is ON my cheek,
And thoughts come faster than tongue can
speak
In tropie wales of Mexico
In warm, green valleys by the Po-
In the jungle shades of Afric's land
'Tis the cheer that gladdens the heart OF
mani
The warm, South sea hath coral isles
Where summers sun forever smiles;
Aud here the native couch'd at ease
In the grateful shade Of the tova trees
And iann'd by the constant ocean breeze
Prepares his simple taro-wine-
The gift to him that seems divine,
And his soul in vision fits over the foam,
That confines his coral-begirted home!
The wine! the wins! the crimson wine
I'll quati thee from this chalice fine,
Till in my veins shall course the fire
Of Apollo's breath-thy sun-born sire,
And my voice in song shall never tire!
I'll sing of lands beyond the sea
Where grows the palm and olive tree
Where the vintage moan in silvers sets
To the sound of the clinking castanets!
The wine! the wine! the sparkling wine,
Fill to the brim this beaker mine
Oh stay young man, there's death to the,
There's woe and want thou canst not see
There's future of shame and misery
Its poison sting is just the same
From foreign lands or near ii came
From the terrac'd sleeps that flank the
Rhone,
Or from California's golden zone
The wine the wine the crystal wine,
From pleasant slopes that grace the Rhine
oh touch it not, for God hath said
That woe shall cover the drunkard's head,
And his name be cursed when he is dead
Lot not that clear and bright .Noselle
Weave round thy life its fatal SPELL.
Lest shade of crime shall cross thy path
And an angry God smite thee in wrath

We learn from the Brandon Re.
publican that at the opening OF the
Smith county circuit court, Judge
Mayors, in bis charge called spe-
cial attention to the fact that "a
large number of property owners
were in the habit of giving i'll
their property to the Assessor at
much less thar its real value; and
thus deirauding the government
aud compelling the honest people
of the county to pay much more
tax than they ought to pay. 1t
was generally supposed that a
great many persons would be in-
dicted. Complaints of the same
kind have been made in other coun-
ties of the State, and q course SIM
liar to that taken by Judge Mayors
will probably be followed by other
Judges. AS the Assessor,is about
commencing his duties it would he
well for every one to know that
giving q fa'se valuation Of the prop
erty is an indictable offeDse, and
will give much more trouble than
would the paym.nt of an equita BILE
tax.--EE:
