Mistletoe for Kissing Purposes,

No English lady considers her home
decorations for Christmas complete, until
little sprig of Mistletoe, no matter how
small, is hung over one of the doors on
the inside of the house. Upon this day
eff a gentleman discovers lady standing
under the Mistletoe, he has right to
kiss her"
If this ancient and honored custom
becomes as popular in America as it has
been for centuries in Europe, it will be
largely due to the Emporia (Fia) Gazette
which, by the way, is published in Vol
usia County, Florida, which is famous
for its Summary Winters, and Orange
Groves for this journal has prepared
packages of Mistletoe IA parasite and q
native of Florida) which it will send to
any address upon receipt of five 2 cent
stamps to cover postage, &c. The Gazett,
has published FLORIDA Catecism," that
gives full and accurate information upon
all subjects of interests or settlers, which
it will mail, 10 any applicant, with {
sample copy of its paper, upon receipt Of
two , cent stamps.

Stepping Stones to Success.

Learn your business thoroughly.
One to-day is worth two to-morrows.
Keep at one thing-in nowise change.
Always be in haste, but never in a
hurry.
Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing well.
Never fail to keep your appointments,
nor to be punctual to the minute.
Be self-reliant; do not take too much
advice, but rather depend on yourself.
Newer be idle, but keep your hands OF
mind usefully employed except when
sleeping.
He that ascends ladder must take
the lowest round. All who are above
were once below.
Make no haste to be rich remember
that small and steady gains give compe
tency and tranquility of mind.

IL rIMEs phst wo urged the neces.

In TIMES past we urged the neces-
sity of this town having fire
engine, and the destructive fire the
early part of this week furnished
evidence of the wisdom of our sug-
gestion. What would have been the
result had there been an engine at
the scene of conhagration, you ask2
just this, that instead of three
houses being laid in ashes, two
would undoubtedly now be stand
ing, and distress averted. Hand
grenades and Yankee buckets offer
slim resistance at a fire discovered
when this one was, because the heat
was so intense that no one could
approach near enough to work effec-
lively with the means described.
But how differently with line of
hose attached to an engine operated
by steam. The scarcity of water,
you will argue, would not admit of
the working of an engine. In this
we think your argument of little
weight, because nearly every dwell
ing house has well, and when one
is exhausted, let another be used,
and in this way sufficient water
could be obtained to quench the
flames. That this town should be
protected in case of fire, every tax
payer will agree, and now that we
have had a warning at a cost Of
many thousands of dollars, let the
Town Commissioners delay the
matter no longer, but purchase suit
able apparatus, and levy tax suffi-
Gent to pay for the same.
AFTER writing the above we have
talked with several prominent gen.
tlemen, and their remarks was to
the effect that the town was in ur-
gent need of water works. While
some favor a private corporation,
others contend that the works
should be built and maintained by
all the taxpayers, and in this way
a general interest would be felt by
every taxpayer in the town. AS
far as our experience goes, we are Of
the belief that the latter plan would
be the better We would suggest
however, that a meeting be called al
once, and definite action taken in
relation to the subject Delays are
dangerous, and especially so as re,
CARDS providing means to protect
property in cases of fire, Let nc
time be lost.

Cast Aside Fogyism.

Many, perhaps, will think, after
glancing at the heading of this arti
Gle, that we are touching on a sub
iect that is of little interest to us,
but it does interest us, and that to
an extent little dreamed of by those
whose ways are backward rather
than forward. Our object in writ
ing on this matter is not to stir up
or engender bad feelings among our
citizens, but to urge greater action
on the part of those who are in a
position financially as well as other
wise, to make of this town what it
should be-second to Wilmington
in point of manufactures and gen.
eral business. Is there a town on
the Peninsula that enjoys so many
railroad facilities, and one located so
advantagsously near Philadelphia
and Baltimore, two great centres of
trade? There is not one. With so
many facilities for carrying the
manufacturers wares away to where
a good market can be had, we can
not see why we should not have
more manufacturing interests in our
midst. Certainly they could pro-
duce at less expense here than in
the larger cities, where rents and
taxes are enormous. Many towns
have the disadvantage of having
around or near them low, marshy
ground, but here nothing of the
kind exists, and the health record
stands high. There is already a
movement on foot by several of oul
prominent citizens to throw out en-.
enlargement to those who contem-
plate or wish to locate here. We
know that every arrangement can
not be arrived at hastily, yet we be-
lieve by the united efforts of oul
best and worthiest citizens, that the
near future will witness many anC
great changes for the better for thu
town of Newark. The columns o
THE LEDGER will ever remain oper
for the discussion of subjects tina
tend in any way to bring results
beneficial to our town.

Indestructibility of Gold,

Gold may be said to be everylast-
ing, indestructable. The pure acids
have no effect upon it. Air and
water are alike prohibited from
working its distinctions; while 10
baser metals they are decay, to gold
they are innocuous. Bury it through
long ages, and when the rude tool of
the excavator again brings it to
light, while everything around it
and originally associated with it has
returned to dust from which it
sprang; while the delicate form
which it adorned has become pow
der so impalpable as to be inappre-
ciable; while the strong bone of
the mighty warrior crumbles as you
gaze upon it; while his trusty sword
lies a mass of shale rust, the delicate
tracery in gold which adorned it, or
the finely wrought teara which en-
circled the lofty brow of the fair
damsel is there in its pristine
beauty, perfect as when it left the
workman's hands, and became the
Joy of her fleeing moments. Yes,
days, years, centuries upon centu-
ries have rolled by; mighty empires
have risen and fallen dynasties
that dreamed their power was to
be everlasting have passed away !;
armies have marched, conquered
and became nerveless with decrepit
old age; cities teeming with popula-
ton and commerce have become
the dwelling place of the owl and
the bat; the very pyramids them
selves, raised in the pride of power,
and destined to be forever, have
crumbled and are crumbling; and
yet that thin filament of gold has
stood unchanged through all these
mighty changes; it has withstood
triumphantly the destroying hand
of time; it is to-day what it was
5000 years ago. Surely, it is noble
mental worthy of all admiration

Stolen Paragraphs.

Because the Bible nowhere mentions
women angels, sect has been formed in
Canada ON the doctrine that women have
no souls.
Must be plenty of fools in that country.
There died in Wallingford, Conn,

They quarreled and separated. He died
shortly afterward, and the lady never

Try to be as sweet as pie until after
marriage, and then quite likely the re-

bliss.

herself largely taken charge of the pri-

to say, "Than could have done myself"
The residence where Mr.. Hendricks died
in Indianapolis is worth $4,000, and he
had other property in the city, valued at
all told, about 100000. His life was also
insured in a considerable sum. Alto

100000
1t is hardly worth while to start

This story is on its rounds "Jay
Gould's father, staid old farmer in
Delaware county, New York, had very
little faith in his sons capacity to get on
because he was not fond of chopping,
blowing, sowing or reaping. When the
lad decided to quit his rural home the
elder Gould, it is said, handed him half
dollar and told him he would certainly
go to the devil" The old man just
about sized up his son in his last remark.
Among the art treasures of Mrs. Nor
gan, DR.. Conkling's friend, were many
remarkable pieces of cameo glass. One
vase cost her probably not less than $10,-
600 or $4,000, though it was only about
thirty inches high. She owned several
other vases purchased from Mr.. Thee.
B. Starr. A few other large and costly
specimens of cameo glass adorn the
homes of other wealthy amateurs in this
city, but its introduction to popular no.
tice is quite recent. Everybody is famil-
lar with the fame of the Portland Vase,
and with Wengdwood's marvellous re-
productions of it in poetry.
Judge Mackey IT. j. tells this of a
man whom he met on one of the battle
