DON'T STOP MY PAPEB.
Don't stop my paper, printer,
Don'i strike my name off yet;
You know the limes are stringent,
Ami dollars hard to get ;
Dut tug a little harder.
Is what 1 mean >o do,
And scrape the dimes together,
Euough for me and you.
1 can't afford to drop it ;
1 find it doesu't pay
To do without a paper,
However others may {
1 hate to ask my neighbors,
To give me theirs on loan ;
They don't just say, but mean it,
Why don't you have your own ?
You cau't tell how wo miss it,
If it, by any fate,
Should happen not to reach us.
Or come a little late ;
Then all is in a hubbub,
And things go all awry.
And, printer, if you're married
You kuow the reason why.
Then take it kindly, printer,
If pay be somewhat slow,
For Ofl?ll w l>nl O.i
C? !> ?> >/ .
And wants not few, you know.
But I uiust have my paper,
Cost what it may to me,
I'd rather dock my sugar,
And do without uiy tea.
So, printer, don't you stop it,
Units you want my frown.
For here's your year's subscription.
And credit it right down ;
And send the paper promptly
And regularly on,
And let it bring us weekly
Its welcomed benison.^
SOMEHOW OB OTHEB.
Life has a burden for every man's shoulder ;
None can escape from its trouble uud care ;
Miss it in youth ; and 'twill come when we're
older,
And fit us as close as tho garment we wear.
Sorrow comes into our lives uninvited,
Bobbing our hearts of their treasures of song ;
Lovers grow cold, and friendships are slighted ;
Yet somehow or other we worry along.
Everyday toil is everyday blessing,
Though poverty's cottage and crust we may
share;
Weak is the back on which burdens are pressing,
But stout is the heart that is strengthened by
prayer.
Somehow or other the pathway grows brighter
Just when we mourn there arc none to befriend,
ilopc in the heart makes the burden seem
lighter,
And somehow or other, we get to the end.
RECIPES.
Simple Lemon Pie.?Five eggs, two
cups of sugar, one half cup of butter, one
cup of warm water, one cracker, pounded
fine, rind and juice of one leuion ; bake
with an upper aud under crust. This should
make two pics.
IIow Apples Can he Pkeparbd.?Besides
canning them, or making pies, apple,
dumplings aud sauce, they are a welcome
dish at our diuuer tabic wheu peeled and
cut in quarters, and then made smaller still
aud fried in a little lard ; let each piece have
room enough so that it will keep its shape
Delicious sauce may be made by cooking
the apples till they are very soft with boiled
cider ; sweeten with browu sugar ; boil the
apples and cider till the euuco is as thick as
custard, or even thicker. It does not taste
al all like common apple sauce r.ud is good
with meat. It will keep for a long time in
a cool room. It is a healthful practice to cat
an apple every day for dessert, and to pro^
vide apples far wiutcr use regularly as you
do potatoes.
Farm Pciddino.?Que cup of Indian
meal, one-half cup of sugar, uioistcu with
a little milk ; pour slowly on the meal aud
stir until quite thick ; add one^half cup of
molasses and a little salt; bake in an earthen
dish two hours.
Cooki no Beets.?One of the most satisfactory
ways to cook beets is to bake them.
When boiled, even if their jackets are left
on, a gr jat deal of the best part of the beets
is aissoivea, and 60 lost. It will, of course,
take a little longer to bake than to boil
them ; but this is no objection. Allow from
fifteen to tweuty minutes more for bukiug ;
slice them, and heat as you would if they
were boiled. After they are cooked season
with pepper, salt, butter, and a squeeze of
Icuiou.
Educational Reform.?The pressing
need of the hour iu this State is a good
public school system. To establish a reform
the attack must be made upon the right objective
points. The most important point
to commence on are, first?an increase of
the school fund ; second?a higher standard
for teachers ; and third?a lengthening
of the average scholastic term.
If the school fund is increased to a respectable
figure, so as to furnish a permanent
and decent support, a higher standard
for teachers cau very easily be attained, because
persons possessed of the proper qualwqilld
ffifil *|>lo tO 835(11110 /ho
arduous and responsible role or public
school tcnchcrs, who now cannot afford to
do so, from the fact that thev are comnnllml
- r",,vx"
to seek more certain and remunerative nm?
ployincnt, in order to provide for the wants
of themselves and those dependent on
them.
Tho average scholastic term covers n
period of not more than two or three months,
which affords barely timo to iuitiate the
child in the simplest elements of instruction,
when the doors are closed and he is
sent about his business far tho balance of
tho year. Tho next year the same thing
is repeated. Such a system precludes the
idea of discipline. No fixed ideas of moral
restraint or regular habits of study can be
inculcated. Tho children of the country
arc left to tho caprices of accident and irregularity
to obtain that unsatisfactory, not
to say dangerous thing?a little learning.
In tho narno of our noble old commonwealth,
wo cry aloud for educational reform.
Sound economy, practical Christianity, true
philanthropy and wise statesmanship demand
that this subject shell rcoeivo from our legislators
its proper share of attention at un
early day.?Aiken Journal <f> Review.

Tiiinos Found in Haw Suuah.?I had
road that augur refiners used bullocks' blood (
to clarify the liquor, and in uiy (simplicity I
asked my fricud where was the bullocks' i
blood. He laughed very heartily nt my ig- 1
uoruuee, and told me there had not been {
such a thiug used iu Greenock siucc he had i
knoAu anything about the trade, now over \
thirty years. What struck uio uiost was tho i
saud and uiud that my friend showed uio i
had been taken out of the raw sugar when i
L saw it filtered ; and 1 that day registered 1
a vow that I would never again be tempted (
to buy "real raw sugar" for domestic use.? 1
I shudder as I think of thoquauity of uiud 1
that I must have eaten ic my time, and feel i
anuoyed at haviug beon deluded iuto pay- 1
ing a penny a pound more for the "real raw
sugar" than I could have bought the pure 1
refined article for. I told uiy friend what 1
was passiug through uiy mind, at which he ?
again laughed, and said : "Every one that s
couics to sec through the refiuery says tho I
same thing. You sometimes h :ar grocers I
charged with putting saud iu their sugar, t
They rcallv do nothiacr of th? sort l? <
- ^ o ? ~ w"
would uot pay theui to do so, even it' they t
had a uiind. If the use of raw sugar were ]
given up by the publie, we would never I
aguiu hear of such au accusation ugaiust the i
poor grocer." My friend, seeing tho dis- j
gust 1 had displayed at the saud and mud,
took me to the laboratory iu coucctiou with 1
tho refinery, where lie said he would show i
ino even worse than uiud iu the raw sugar. 1
He took a small glass vessel like a tumbler, i
into which ho put a leaspoonful of "'real raw 1
sugar," such as is sold iu the shops, and <
theu poured souio water slightly heated over 1
it. In a short time little specks appeared i
on the surface, scarcely visible to the naked
eye, two or three of which ho placed under ,
a microscope aud bado uic look through it. |
To my amazement I saw little iusects like <
lice crawling about. I asked what they ]
were, and was told they were tho Acarus j
sacchari, or raw-sugar trite, aud that they ,
abound in raw sugar, more especially in the ,
belter descriptions. 1 asked if there wore ]
uoue to be fouud iu reliucd sugar, and my
friend said no; that they were all either re- |
taincd iu the filter-bags or killed during the |
boiling. I understand a celebrated chemist 1
has estimated there will be as many as 100,000
of these creatures iu a pound of raw su- j
gar. I learned that there were abiut a
dozen refineries at work iu Greenock, turning
out about 250,000 to 300,000 tons of
soft, refined sugar per anuuin, bciug more
than a third of all the sugar consumed in
Great Britain.?Chambers' Journal.
A Commnation or Dogs.?Shoe Heel
has beeu very much excited for some days
past. Last Friday uiglit about 12 o'clock
as Mr. Baldwin, of the firm of \V. 1). Baldwin
& Co., was returning from across the
creek, where he had been transacting some
business, aud when he bad reached a point
ucar Mr. A. M. McLean's residence he was
attacked by 15 or 20 dogs. They bit the
horse he was riding, caught the briddlo in
their teeth, nulled the stirrunts from Mr
B's foot, and made frantic efforts to tear him (
from the saddle. Finding that he could not 1
scare theui off, he put spurs to iiis horse and (
rode for his life, followed by the vclpiug, |
barking, bitiug pack of curs into the heart j
of town, their glariug eyes and protruding 1
tongues proclaiming thcin bent up on his t
destruction. The citizens were aroused aud
came to Mr. Baldwin's rescue with guns |
and pistols, aud the infuriated brutes were i
compelled to take to the woods, where they
remained until Sunday, attacking and crippling
grown cattle. By that time the ex- i
citcuieut had grown so high, and the danger a
so manifest, that the .Shoe Heel Bifles 'J
were ordered out to hunt theui. They sue- f
cceded in scattering the pack, and this (Men t
day) morning quiet once more remains.? s
The dogs belong to almost everybody, and &
have hitherto behaved like sober, industri- c
ous cauiucs, but must have yielded to bud <
counsels. Many incidcuts, amusing aud
otherwise, connected with this uprising of
the dogs might be uoted, but our time will s
not permit. But there cau be no doubt 1
that our childreu will, as they trot their |
grand children upon their knee, relato to i
them the thrilling story of The dog insur- 1
ruction at Shoe llcel."?Lumbcrton (iV. C)

Bo the Dvino Suffer 1'ain ??People
do not like to think of death. It is an un- j
pleasant subject; but it constantly obtrudes <
itself, aud there has been much speculation {
as to whether mental or physical pain at- i
tend the final act. Observation teaches us j
that there is little pain of either kind in |
uymg. j*;xporience will come to us all one <
of these days, but it will conic too late to ]
beucGt those who remain. It seems to be |
a kind provision of uaturc that, as we ap- <
proach the dreaded event, our terrors dim- .
inish, and the coward and hero die alike? j
fearless, indifferent or resigned. As to phy- ?
eical pain, Dr. Edward II. Clarke, in "Vis- j
ions,'' says : "The rule is that unconciousness.
not pain, attends the final act To the
MinjCCt or 1', death is uu Uiuru putiii'at tlinn <
birth, Painlessly wo came?whcnco we <
know not. Nature kindly provides an an- ]
(esthetic for the body when the spirit leaves <
it. Previous to that moment, aud in pre- |
paration for it, respiration becomes feeble, 1
generally slow and short, often accomplished i
by long inspirations, aud short expirations,
so that the blood supply is less aud less ex- 1
ygenated. At the same time the heart acts <
with corresponding debility, producing a 1
slow, feeble, aud often irregular pulse. As 1
this process goes on, the blood is not only <
driven to the head with diminished force i
and in less quantity, but what flows there is <
loaded more and more with carbmic acid <
gas, a powerful anaesthetic, the same as that t
derived from charcoal. Subject to its in- i
finance tho iicrvo-eontors lose consciousness
and insensibility, apparently sleep, crccp9
over the system ; then comes stupor, and *
the end."?Arcw York Exprcaa. "

A Or.ass Diikss.?Tho ladies will bo i
interested in the news that u glass dress is r
being made for Fanny Daveuport in Pitta- {
burg. It will be a full toilet evening suit, a
and the process of making is such as to j
give the work the appearance of fine French \
satin, only that it is much more brilliant.? j
The dress will have a long train of woven
glass, nnd it will bo elnbora ely trimmed
with glass laco. To mnko what is called 11
the glass cloth, from whiuh this suit will be c
made, tho glass is first spun into fluo threads
and then woven. There is nothing to com- >!

Attempt to Blow up tub Lord May)R.?Loudon,
March 17.?An attempt to
>low up the Mnusiou llousowas made last
light uud caused 110 little cxcitcQicat. A
>ox coutainiug forty pounds of compressed
;uupowder was placed iu a passage at tho
last side of the building. The powder was
voighed this uiorniug. The box was placed
u position nt half-past elevcu o'cloek last
liglit, during a douse mist, wWhouPattreotr
ug attention. A constable passing a little
ater saw something burning on the sill of
>110 of tho wiudows facing George street.?
IVith great prcseuco of mind he immediatey
pulled the burniug stuff away, threw it
ipou the ground and extinguished it with
lis foot.
lie was then surpri.-od to find that the
>urning stuff had becu attached to a heavy
>ox which lay on the window sill in tho pasmge.
The sides of tho box were fouud
ituffed with fragments of an old carpet-bag,
>rown paper, aud Irish newspapers. Tho
use ran from tho centre of the powder
hrough a hole in ilic side rf tho box to the
>ut-side, where the fire was first seen by tho
jffieer. Timely discovery prevented au ex
plosion of a very serious character, although
he cast side of the Mausion House is of an
anusually substantial character. Tho Lord
Mayor und his family were sleeping iu tho
Mausion ilousc last uight. Ilis Lordship
was not acquainted with the discovery until
tu early hour this morning. A large number
of men wore at work digging up tho
roadway on the west side of tho Mansion
House all night. The police assert that the
explosion was intended for the Mayor for
noting for coercion. This, however, is
licrly an assumption at present.
London, March 18, 1881.?Great prcjautions
have been taken for tho safety of
die Houses ot Parliament since the discovery
of tho plot to blow up the Mansion
LIouso. The police in and around the buildngs
have been reinforced and the cellars
ixauiiucd. The Standard says that two
\uierican newspapers were found with the
powder box discovered Dear tho 'Mansion
House. The Corporation of Londou has offered
?100 reward for tho discovery of the
perpetrators of the crime. Additional police
force has been stationed at tho Mansion
House, the Hank of Euglaud aud other important
buildings.

Tiie Sun Crosses the Line.?At six
o'clock Suuday morning the, imaginary line
called the equator aud the astronomical
spring began that day, the coldest we have
had in this latitude for a mouth. The days
and nights arc uow everywhere nearly equal,
aud while the north polo is just coming iuto
light the south pole is sinking into the ioug
auturctio night. At tho equator the sun is
?xa< tly overhead at noon. Some persous
find it difCcult to understand the astronomical
division of the seasons, which is ncverhclcss
more accurate than the ordinary di>
fision. Astronomically the seasons begin
when the sun crosses the equator in the
spring aud fall, aud wheu he reaches the
wo points of greatest divergence from the
squalor in summer and win'er. These
points fall some twenty days later iu each
jase than the dates fixed in the aluianucs,
for the beginning of tho seasons. In reality
the year has ouly two primary divisions,
which arc determined by tho positiou of the
mil north or south of the equator. Spring
ind autumn are merely transitional periods
marking the gradual charge from cold to
warm and from warm to cold.
The equinoctial storms, which occur twice
L vear. about the time when tlie sim enwuna
ho equator, have imuicuioriully occupied
in important place in popular weather lore.
I'ho farmers look for tlieni regularly, and
arm work is sometimes seriously disarrangd
by a tardy ''equinoctial." This time the
un makes a stormy crossing, and uudcr
uch circumstances it is said that a period
>f good weather is generally in prospect.?
