If the persons who use profane Ian
guage on the public streets in this coun-
try were fined for each offence, accord
ing to law, there would soon be a suff-
Gent sum realized from this source to
pay off the national debt. Ifonly a quar-
ter of a cent fine for every oath uttered
was imposed, there are men in this town
who would have to pay about five dollars
a day.
The protracted meeting in the Chris
tian church of Eaton, closed last Sunday

ed and q new members added to its
number. Elder Orr left on Tuesday to.
aid in a series of meetings at West Lib

DR.. Hall says that it is very healthy
for married men to get out of bed at six
in the morning and split wood for an
hour. Perhaps so; but there's nothing
mean about married men. They are SO
unseifish that they are perfectly willing
to sacrifice their health for the benefit
of their wives, and let the latter perform
the early wood chopping.
There was a man in our town, f5s.
And he was wond'rous wise.
He'd buy a frst-class stock of goods
- And then he'd advertise.
The people straightway iiocked to see T;
The wares did them bewitch;
And in a very short time he
Became immensely rich.
1t costs less than g of a cent a day to
take a weekly newspaper-less than one
cigar a week, and a very cheap one at
that; less than the barber would chare
by the year to keep ones hair trimmed;
less than a good sized Christmas turkey;
less than an energetic kitchen girl will
waste in a week. Five-eights of a penny
a day can be saved in many a way better
THAN in stopping your paper.
The ORIENTAL CAsKET, published by
L. Lum Smith, at Philadelphia, Pa, and
edited by Emerson Bennett, isa new
monthly, the second number Of which
has reached our sanctum. It is hand
somely got up, neatly printed, and its
sixteen pages are filled with excellent
articles o~fliterature, wisdom and science.
1t costs but 50 per annum and is well
worth double its price.
Amilk Swimming machine has been
invented, which separates the cream
process of having it "rise." Instead of
taking off the cream with a spoon or la
Idle, the dairymaid will, hereafter, pour
the milk into a cylinder, which revolves
at the rate of 5000 revolutions a minute.
1t might be supposed that the result
would be butter, but not so. From per-
forations in one side OF the vessel flows
the richest of cream, from the other side
skim-milk of a heavenly blue.
A judicious writer, speaking of coun-
try newspapers, says they are most eff
| Gent agencies in developing and build
ing up the material prosperity of the
communities in which they are publish
ed. They advertise the town, county,
or locality. They spread before the read
er a map on which may be traced, char
acter, design, progress. If a stranger
calls at a hotel, he first inquiries for the
town newspaper; If a friend comes from
a distance, the very next thing after a
family greeting he inquiries for your town
or county newspaper, and you feel dis
comforted if you are unable to fn5 a late
copy, and confounded if you are compcll-
ed to say you do not take it.
