" Every bit of it that is thrown away is care f ully gatliered up and finds it way eventually to the mill again to be made ovjtr. Tbe note book in your hand may furnish material for the pages oa hveh you will write a let tex six mouths benceV and perhaps a year latter yev will unknowingly find it incorporated in a summer novel with yellow covers. Thus the stock of paper that supplies the world ' s used over and over aain indefinite ly through the medium of the scav engers, the dealers in jumk and the factories, which are continually en gaged in transforming, the discard ed materials into fre&b and clean - abeetsr . . . Brown- paper, however, is differ eit. iiecause it is composed oi noi.ii ing more valuable than straw it is mostly thrown away and never used again. J would not pay twenty-five .cents for a ton of it. A few years ago olii newspapers were worth four cents a pound, being made of ragp. , now tbey are manufactured out of wood puip ana 6traw ana tup.ir mar ket value is only a quarter of a cent bills and sycb scraps, are. worth the same- price as newspapers, while what we call oflice sweeDins. com- xpseii largely of envelopes, are qnot ed at $ flee a cests'a hundredweight The kind of paper for which I pay the highest prijLe is sucii stuff as ledgers witii tiie cover torn- off and o&cr fine writing paper. For that kind of materia! will give $1.25 a hundred, weight. Reading books' are wurth fifty cents per hundred pounds. Prdiuary mi ted white paper !

For old iron I plies might follow ao4 we wish to re pay fifteen cents a hundred weight ccive no more letters on the subject. and for old lead 3 and half cents a pound bjftbe quanity. Old copper is worth seven cent a pound, and old brass fetches from five, to sir cents. There are DeoDle who deal i second-hand machinery, but I only buy it as old iron. Safes, wheels and J dumb bells I bay and sell as such when they are in good enough con dition." Washington Star. re are some people who think iat sermon is the best which misses them and hits all their neighbors. "Fair FluV Answer to jf'Qbidah." 'e desire to give all a full and fair bearing in all discussions, but Fair Play's" answer is so long that we dc&ot ttiink it fair to our 'many readers, who are not interested in politics, to lake tip jso much space for this one subject; and as Fair Play's letter would take up nearly a whole page of The Patron and Gleaner, we have decided to state his points in imr own language with out'giving his letter in full.. JLIe begins his letter by enquiring who Obidah is, aud asks if he is from Homestead, Pa., and insinuates that he has been trying to become a mem ber of Piukerton's detective agency, and says that hej thinks Obidah be longs o that wing of the Republican party which always thirsts after the blood of-the poor-negroes. j In regard to the identity of Fair Play he says that Obidah seems to refer to Ex. SenatorNewsotne, P. F. Uayley or J. E. Goode, and that he had bad an interview with Mr. New- some, who said he resigned from Hoy kins and Lewistou R. P. O. for reason that the work kept him from his family, the salary too suiull and that his church (of which he was pas tor was opposed to it. r He scnC his resignation to the Department and it was accepted three months afterwards, and the appointment as General Sub-, stitute for Eastern North Carolina was given him, which he . accepted, because he could attend his ministe rial duties and home, better. After two years servicers general substi tute lie sent in his.resignation aain the first of September last, and it was accepted the 11th of October. 1892. "-);-..,.-: J:'. r - He warns to know if Obidah is not the fellow who was appointed a dele gate to the county convention, two yearsago favorable to E.J. G;',"ud after he got to the convention, could not understand him. He savs that Obidah' s statement that, he (Fair Play) was a caodidate before the Republican convention is untrue. atfd that Ubidah did not answer a 'if single point ki made in his first let ter. '.j ' Fair.PIaj apologises to the minor ity part of the convention ana says fee should have made some excep tions in his first letter, as there were some good men in it, but that they wee in the niinority and therefore helpless and could do nothing, and that he was so disgusted with the way the convention acted that he failed to congratulate the minority in trying to nominate a good ticket He says that he thought that J. N. Coats was one of the miuority. but since be has assumed the whole re sponsibility for the majority, he need not apologize to him. as he must be one of them. He then reviews at considerable length the work of the conveotiou of August 27th, and reaffirms his state ments as to. drunkenness and disor der, and says since he wrote his first letter be has obtained particulars of the secret workings of the conven tion; he also brings up new matter in regard to pant elections and refers to parties cot heretofore mentioned Hone tza iht First Claln The first thought of a wife ' or a mother shoo Id be her home: all Uiin. no matter how important, are jDcwiiiry vu iu&w aiu uiaiier uuw mmDant mav become certain evils. letl!l:r 8ce to it iLat she tthe evil out of ber home, and she per forms ber greater duty to God, ber family, and mankind. - When ; a wo man tries to remedy an evil by strid ing the lecture platform, warning others, when the very evil is invad ing her own borne by ber absence, she is mistaking ber mission in life, and she cannotrrealize it too soon. The good that a woman .can do to ward the great world at ' large is as nothing compared to her possibilities in her,own home if she be wife or mother. And -the first duty of man, as well as of woman, is to home, to his wife and children. As a husband, a father, and example to bis sons and daughters, their counsellor and friends, he should be the light and joy of his household, their - strength for duty, their encouragement to ex cellence, -their comfort .and. help in all that prepares tbr- usefulness and makes home attractive to all When husband and wife, father nnd moth er, make home what it should be, the false temptations of the world will lose their power, and children will grow up to be the joy of parents and a blessing to themselves and to the world.

"Thero are scarcely any. circum stances in which a Want of applica tion in children does not proceed from want of interest, and there are j perhaps ' none' inv .which the 'i want of interest does not originate in the mixle of -teaching idopted by the leacher- I would ,go;so!far as to layitiiovwiias a rule, Jjrat whenever children are inattentive and appar ently take no interest in a lesson, the teacher should always first look to himself for the reason An inter est in study is the first thing which a teaGber should endeavor to exe'te and keep aliye.

' The great difficulty of teaching well,, however, is alXer all a poor ex cuse for con tendly teaching badly, and it would be a great step in ad vance, if tea-ihers In gerieralJsrere as dissatisfied with themselves as they usually are with their pupils. Herbert Spencer, I do not think that the mind is benefitted by galley-slave labor; in deed' hardly any of its faculties are capable of any such labor. We can compel a' boy to learn a thing by heart, but we cannot compel him to wish to understand it; and the intel Iect does not act without the wilL Indeed, the mind without sympathy and interest is like the sea-anemone when the tide is down, an unlovely thing, closed against eternal in fluences, enduring existence as best it can. But let it find itself in a more congenial element, and it opens at once, ahows altogether unexpected capacities and eagerly assimolats all proper food that comes wjthia its reach. Our school-teaching is often little better than an attempt to get sea anemones to flourish on dry land. We see then, that a boy, be- furc.be cab throw energy into study, J mast find thai - study interting i& itself or U it4 remit. rr-R.II. UIC?. Jfo great; characters are formed in this world without suffering and self-denial, t X)ar's Age, The onwillisgBees of waen9Eo have passed a certain age and of men, -too, for that matter to avow frankly the number of birthdays they have had is proverbial, the world over. In France, which is reputed the most courteous country in the world, the sensitiveness of persons who are no longer young is . almost universally respected. Even in the courts of Justice a way is sometimes found to escape ;tbe necessity ef a frank avowal. a A lady whose appearance indicat ed that she bad left her fortieth year behind her, was not long ago ordered hjtthejKf tident or judge of a court where she was a witness to tell how old she was. 'ty-two years, monsieur le presi dent," I she -murmured, . The Judge merely sm iled iat this very indefinite reply, aud pressed her no further. In the courts of Germany, where no laxity of any srt is allowed, the caWis quite otherwise. A woman at Berlin recently declared, while; under oath in court, that she was twenty-six years old. , The official birth record was look ed up by some prying official, and it was ascertained there that she! was past thirty. The woman . was prose cuted for perjury, as beyond a doubt she deserved to be, and given a term of imprisonment. In spite of warnings, however,! some people will probably continue to disguiselheir age, when-thtre is no such solemn motive as an oath to compel thein to- state -it truly. A wrtty fady not long ago remarked in co"mpaur, when the dslie ques tion of age Was, under discussion : . V 4Obryou knbXiiye a way of making myself out younger than I. am without telling a lie at alt' Indeed How do you do itf ' Well, I put the sin all upon the questioner. You see, when one of my female friends asks me how old I am, If answer, Oh, I'm older than you are, you Itnow, my. dear as oMich as a year. By the way, bow old are youf ' And then she always knocks off more from my age than I should ever dare to myself !' Ex. A flow of words is no proof of wis dom. Don't talk to me of future bliss ; I want my heaven now. Don't talk to me.of the by. anil by; In a thousand years or so. Now, junt now, is the only time, And the best that has ever been.

A literary education which leaves no love of reading behind, cannot be considered entirely successful. I consider that for educational pur poses, the power and the desire to acquire knowledge, are to be valaed far before knowledge itself. ' : Jacotot.
