Something TO Cry Over.

DR.. John Hall, in an article entitled,
"a Thing to Cry Over" touches in n
pathetic name the common habit of
laughing at drunken men. DIR. Hall
stood on a boat in New York harbor.
Not far of was a well-dressed but
tipsy young man. Beside the doctor
was a plainly-dressed man. When DIR.
Hall saw the people laughing at the
drunkard, he saw in his neighbours
eyes such a sad, plying look that he
said to him, ''They should hardly
laugh at him." Said the man, cit is a
thing 10 cry over" Then he told DR..
Hall Of his own wife, who took to
drink in Scotland, and who promised
to reform if he would come to this
country, but did not, and died of
drunkenness; and when the doctor
hoped that he had comfort in the chill
dren, he said. some, the second, is a
good girl. The oldest is not steady, 1
can do nothing with her; and the
youngest, a boy, can't be kept from
drink. I've sold my place, and am
going to a town in Ohio where, | am
told, no liquor a be had-to try and
save him." DR.. Hall closes as follows:
"'Who would not wish for abstinence
societies, tracts, books, ministers SER
mons, peoples pledges, humane laws?
One almost cries out for anything that
will stop this slow, cruel murder OF
homo love, of men, of women, OF little
children, of hope, of peace, of i'm
mortal souls"

temporarily dcpreciating the value of
the wool clip. Experience has taught
every man who has tied any consider
able amount of wool, that n twine of
fair size must be used, as with any
other the constant drawing and knot
tying will cripple the operators hands.
The quantity of string so used can vary
to suit the owner of the clip, without
reference to the suggestions or wishes
of any other man. There is no decep-
ton about this. The buyer will, OF
course, take the amount and weight of
any surplus string into his account,
when naming the price he is willing to
pay, but he has no right to charge
fraud against any practice that does
not conceal such real conditions as he
might detect with ordinary care and
sagacity. A pound of string on the
outside of a fleece is no fraud, though
the traction of an ounce hidden away
on the Inside of the same fleece would
be a fraud. Rolling into a fleece a
handful of wool, plucked from the
body of a dead sheep, is reprchcnslble,
though fribs and skirtings, that become
detached while on the shearing-floor,
may properly be placed inside the
fleece. If the flock is being sheared
without washing, it is admissible to in
clude with the fleeces ''sweat locks"
and trimmings from every part of the
animal, while all particles of dung and
mud that adhere should be removed.
In short, all parts of the fleece, and all
that belongs to it in a natural state, are
properly included in the term cum
washed" and the nock-owncr should
be careful that nothing else is there /;
while the size and quantity and quality
of string may depend entirely upon
such circumstances or taste as he may
allow TO Influence him. The buyer
who cannot properly estimate the
effect of the presence of more or less
string on the value of a lot of wool, to
which he has free access, has no righf
to ask the Wool-grOwer to alter his
manner OF dong business, to bring its
results within range of so dull a com
prehension. AS in washing, so with
the other processes in preparing wool
for market-those who preach so zeal
ously for certain practices must supple
ment THEN with their money,
show a willingness to pay for the extra
labor and expense involved in follow
ing the precepts they so complacently
scatter abroad, and reiterate with such
regularity, at a time when most likely
to unfavorably affect the price of wool
that is still in the hands of the men
who grow it. BTeedetS' gazette.

The Patched Brooches.

ThurIow Weed was the cause of Gov ernor Marcy's discontinue in printing the famous charge made by him to the State when on circuit as Judge of the Supreme Court: ''For mepding my pantaloons, 50 cents." The uproar and laughter were great, and "Governor Marcys patched brooches" were carried in many political procession But the Governor had his revenge. MT. Weed had occasion to visit Governor Throop, near Auburn, on official business con nected with the Morgan affair, and being pressed for time, was driven over in a buggy. The charge appeared in the &C., counts, "For transporting Thurlow Weed to Auburn, $7.'' MT. Weed says in his autobiography:
 This item, in paragraph written in Governor Marcy's happiest vein, ap- peared in The Albany Argus. That paragraph, while conceding the pro priety of transporting" me to Auburn, and admitting the reasonableness of the price paid, concluded by remarking that the State could we'll have afforded to pay much larger sum If the individual thus ''trausported to Auburn" had been detained there. This retort went much further to relieve Governor Marcy from the obnoxious "patch" than all the grave explanations and arguments of the Democratic press.

In JAMES BoSS PATIENT GOLD WATCH CASES, tnls WASTE of precious metal is overcome, an,l sne SAME soI1DrTY AND STRENGTH produced al rom one-third to one half of the usual cost o, sond cases. The process is of the most simpls nature' as follows: plate of nickle compost aon metal, especially adapted to the purpose, eas two plates of SOLID GOLD soldered enc cn each side. The three are then passed betwe, polished steel rollers, and the result is strit or heavy plated composition, from which ths cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and formers.
