ICAN'T DO WITHOUT A PAPER.

WHAT do without a paper? No,
I've tried it. to my sorrow;
So, to subscribe for one I'll go,
Nor wait until tomorrow.
Should lovers drown, or hang themselves
Or cut other foolish caper,
never get to hear of it,
I do not take the paper.
Why, til ere's my neighbor, old John Stou
He always hears the news.
And having news to talk about,
He never gets the "blues."
While others yawn in en1ui
His mind is light as vapor!
The cause is plain to half an eye,
He always takes the paper.
While neighbor Stout hears all the news,
And knows the current price,
And always minds his P's and Q's,
By taking good advice.
L cannot tell the price of calves,
OF poultry, coffee, tape, or
Any kind of merchandise.
Because take no paper.
Though have studies, which require
Much time and mental labor,
Yet can spare little time,
As well as Stout, my neighbor;
Though time is precious, can use
A longer midnight taper,
And thus take time to tread the news"
Therefore I'll take the paper.

water Immediately after being fed is a
sure way of producing Indigestion, if not
inflammation. When water is drunk by
horses the bulk of it goes directly to the
large intestines, and little of it is retain

IWOULD NOT BE AN ANGEL HERE!
BY o, W. v.

1 would not I've an angel here
Where bright illusions fade.
Where Virtues gems their lustre lose
And wicked paths are made.
Rut true woman would be,
Whose heart not always sings,
Whose feet a.e oft by briers torn,
But wishes not for wings.
1 would not be an angel here
I'll say to every one,
For earthly angels waxen wings
Will melt when near the sun.
That should be an angel here
Was not my Makers plan.
Or He would never have procured
That rib from, sinful man.

I'll tellit DER again,
For should / soar the world around
I'd find no angel men.
They want us to be angels here
And see no fault in them,
Yes, they are rulers, lords, and kings,
That we must not condemn.
They want us to be angels here
With voices sweet and low,
They want US pure and spotless. like
The new untrOdden snow
And quietly we must submit
Unto their sovereign rule,
As docile lambs, aoe must remain
Disciples i'll their school.
Oh! what if were angels here
To soar where man doth roam,
Would not the tidings mournful be
That we would carry home.
If heaven now is looking down
On sins polluted brink
Where thousands of our rulers stand
What do the angels think?
o hayward, reckless man be glad,
That angels are not found
In this dark, sinful wori d of ours,
Where guilt and shame abound.
That aoon,an is no angel here,
Doth make mans heart rejoice,
For though he talks of angels,
The Won,0n is his choice.
I would not be an angel here
Where over wrongs we weep,
Nor would be one when in death
My sinful dust will sleep.
While in the Palace of my God.
A seat I hope to claim,
Yet, would be a woman there

Eve men. had been ordered into quarantine
by Port Physician Phiiip Leidy because OF
the fact, a. reported by the physician OF the
steamer, that there was smallpox aboard.
The Office OF Peter Wright Il Sons, on
Walnut street above Third, the agents OF
the line, was visited during the gay
by a number OF persons inquirlng aoout tue
ouarantIned ship. The steamer arrived on
Tuesday night about 8 O'Clock, and was im-
media,cly docked, and though oil the passen-
GERS were ordered 10 remain on the steamer,
and all others were prohibited from gong
on board, for the reason, US given, That
neither the customs inspectors nor the port

there was not the faintest whisper heard
anywhere that anything was wrong, ana
passengers chatted and shook hands over
the bulwark with friends on the whafi

either side that so dreadful thing as small

The vessel lay at her moorlngs all nlSbt,
and in the morning the port physician, VINO

sci into quarantine, aud hid it thoroughly
fumigated. Health. Officer AddIcks sent
word to the Municipal Hospital for the
means OF transporting the stricken
messengers TO that institution. Two
ambulances were immediately sent down,
and two sick immigrants, with their
attendants, were sent i'm one, anu
their bedding and wearing-opplrcl and
everything portable belonging TO them were
sent to the hospital in the second. Every
thing was done quickly and quietly, and.

Of the presence OF the portento,iS ambu-

company's wharf that something bOding no
