"An Old Man,

An old man is q beautiful object In
his own place, in the midst of circle
of young people, going down in various
gradations to infancy, and all looking
up to the patriarch with filial rover
ence, keeping him warm by thoir own
burning youth; giving him tho fresh
ness Of their thought and feeling, with
such natural influx that it seems that it
grow within his heart; while on them
he roacts with an influence that sobors,
tempers, keeps them down. His wis.,
dom, worry probably, is of no great ac-
count-he cannot fit to any new state
of things; but, nevertheless, it works
Its effect. In such situation tho old
man is kind and genial, mellow, moro
gentle and generous, and wider-mind-
cd than ever before. But If left to him.

tomporarios, the leo gathers about his

nothing of his own blood to develop it
grows cold; he becomes selfish whom

Franklin and Adams.

Somc time during the revolutionary
period, or little aftor, John Adams
and Benjamin Franklin were dis
patched from Philadelphia, l believe,
to Massachusetts,, on public errand.
Adams had mortal antipathy, shared
by him along with the majority of
mankind at that day, against tho night
air. lie believed that if he kept his
bedroom window open even q crack at
night he would surely die. Franklin,
on tho othor hand, was q dsbelievcr in
the theory of danger in tho night air,
and ho had many arguments with
Adams thereon. Circumstances and
the crowded condition of many of tho
taVerns they stopped at on their Jour-
ney eastward compelled thcra frequently
to occupy the same room, and oftcn
the samo bed. Adams always opposed
raising the window, and poor Ben
nearly suffocated and rcvilod Adams
for his wrotched theory of the deadly
effects of natures universal medium Of
breath. Ono night Ben slyly raised o
window in their common chamber, but
Adams, on tho alert for his friends
littlo games, insisted that it should be
closed at once. Said crafty Bon: "Now,
MIR. Adams, we'll 20 to bed with tho
window up, and will show you why it
will not be harmful for us to permit the
window to stay open. If cannot con-
vince you of the reasonablcnoss of my
theory, l will myself get up and closo
the window" Adams woakly con-
sontcd, and Ben began to reason with
him. Finally poor Adams was talked
to sleep, and Ben TRANQUILITY resigned
himself to slumber. Next morning
great was Adams horror at finding
tho window up, but not having died
through the night, and feeling no ill
effects from having breathod tho night
air, he became convert to sly Benia-
Minis night-air theory. Tho author Of
n history of America during tho colo
nial epoch told mo this anecdoto as
something amusing, which had hitherto
escaped type.

Sugar in LlIlnDS.

In answer to n correspondent who
asks the difference between the sugar
which is sold in apparently smooth
cut Jumps and other white sugar, tho
Jumps of which arc somewhat rough
on their surface, the New York SIN
says: The difference is considerable,
and the latter, which is pure loaf sugar,
cut into humps, always commands q
higher price in tho Wholesale market,
and cannot be adultoratod. 1t is
called in the market 'cut-loaf." Tho
former quality of sugar is what is
known as "cubcs." Tho cut-loaf su-
gar is mado in Jumps of fifty pounds
out of cane sugar, then sawed into
slabs, and these slabs arc partially cut
through and partially broke. 1t is
easy to distinguish the marks of cutting
and breaking on each lump. The cubo
sugar is made of soft sugar and pressed
in molds, which gives the smooth ap-
poarance, and is suitable for shipment.
Tho cubo sugar will sometimes on o.
sea voyage resume tho consistency OF
the soft sugar, and tho change of
form is duo to adulteration.
