Tolive simply, to master and con- tract expenditure, is a sore need in all classes: The influences which sur- rounds, the habits which we fall into as a second nature, all sway usiu the same direction. Every family and every class'seems to have caught hold of the skirts of the one above it, and to be desperately holding on. Well, as Mr. Golden Smith saw, the best thing they can do is to let goâ€"the only thing which will give themselves any comfort, or make their lives- of real use in their generation. The moment they will do so, and begin resolutely to live without regard to what' their neighbor on the right spends in carriages, or their neighbor on the left in upholstery, they will find themselves rich for all good .pur- poses. From that moment it can no longer be said of us with truth, and that we dare not trust our wits to make our 'houses‘ pleasant to our friends, and so we buy' ice-cream. And this most needed Of all reforms is just the one which every soul of us can carry through for himself or herself. We cannot sweep our whole streets. No doubt. But every one of us can sweep our own doorstep, and if he will do it, quiet- ly and regularly, anon his right- hand neighbor follows, and before long the whole street will be swept. And in this way, and by this moans, can almost all these social tangles We have been glancing at, casually, this evening, he set right. Simple livingl TO it even the great househOId question,at once the most ridiculous and the most haras- sing of social troubles, will in tho and yield, will begin at once to look notwholly insoluble and hopeless. Speaking of this sore question in the Nation the othorday. one oi’thc‘ witticst of American essayicts took up the cudgols for Bridget against her numerous accusers. “My good friends,” he urged, “what right have you anything else to look for? The things which American life and manners preach to her are not pa- tience, sobcrmindcdness, faithfulness, diligence and honesty; but self-as- assertion,discontent, hatred and suâ€" periority of'all kinds, and eagerness of physical enjoyment ;” and the words come home, 1, four, with f-llll- gular force, ions islanders oven in those days. Let us hope that the picture of, the good cumin time which ,he goes on to dr may prove true to ‘us also. ““v‘fhechcr the sound of the new gospel which ,.. :4 n n’ fair to expect til-ii ii. will :ml‘ liiltl her ears wholly cl .. g and that when the altar of duly is again not up by her employers, she will lay on it attractive beefâ€"stakes, potatoes done to a turn, make libations‘ of soup, display remarkable fertility in sweets, an extreme fondness for washing, and learn to grow old in one fumily.”_~â€"Thomas IIughes. o oâ€"Hâ€"râ€"H- The Erie Railroad.

A Mr. Crook said that the ‘cuccess .of Erie was due to Messrs. ‘isclmiiShcim and Mchnr , aided by the support of the Times.’ Thisis certainly a very curious statement for the Times to publish, and when the public discover the true condition ol the Eric Road, it may be worth recal' ling. We should have hesitated to declare of our own knowledge that the London Times is in any way resâ€" pOusiblc for the ‘success ’ of the Erie swindles in England; and we do not believe that the managers of that great journal would knowingly allow their columns to be used in support 'of an enterprise which is practically in an insolvent condition.” â€"..+â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" There are experts on all manner of subjects in these days of litigation.â€" turkoy case, and declared that she knew “ these turkeys by their walk, their countenance, and their manner of roostin 0‘.”- j A woman testified the other day in a News Items.

WHOLE NO. "196 How Gunpowder was Made. A HOUSE WHERE MEN NEVER LAUGH. How do you think you would like to live fearing every x; oment. » to be blown up, none daring to speak aloud to jar anything, for four of starting an explosion that would send you in an instant to the other world ? You don’t‘think it would be very plesaut? Well, it isn’t, yet hundreds of men live in just that stateâ€"work. receive pay, and live your after year in'the vcry sight of death,'ns it were all thutthe world may, have gun- powder. 'You can easily guess that these men ,go about quietly and never laugh. . I You know that gunpowder is very dangerous in a gun or near a fire, but perhaps you don’t know that it is equally dangerous all through the the simple proocss of making. A“ powder~mill is a fearful place to visit, and strangers are very v seldom al- lowed to go into one. ' Theyvare built far frOm any town, in the woods, and each branch ofthc work is done in a separate building. These houses are quitcu distance from each other, so thatil“ one blows up it won’t blow the rest. 'i‘hen the lower parts of the buildings are made very strong, while the roofs are very lightly Bet on, so that if explodes only the roof will sulicr. But, in spite of every care, sometimes a whole settlement of the powdermills will go ofi'in an instant, and every vestigo of the toil of yours will be swept away in a cloud. But, though you fell like holding your breath to look it it. is is really a very interesting process to see. It is made, perhaps you know, of charcoal, saltpcire. and bri’mstono. Each of these articles is prepared in a house by itself, but the house 'where they are mixed is the first terrible one. In this building is an immense mili- stone, rolling; round and round in an iron bed, and under the stone are put the three fearful ingredients of gun- powder. They aro thoroughly mixed and ground together. This is a very dangerous operation, because if the stone comes in contact with its iron bcd it is very apt to strike fire, and the mcrcst suspicion of aspurk would set oil' the whole. The materials are spread three or four inches deep in the bed; thowhccl, which goes by \\‘:‘1'.cr»pm-vor, is :lnricd, and every man leaves the place. The door is shut, and the machine is left todo its terrible work alone. When it has run long enough, the mill is stopped, and the ~ mencomeibackh lion feuch the powder in hard lumps or cakes. The next house is wheré the cakes ‘arc broken up into grains, and of course it is quitc~us dangerous as the last one. But the men can’th away from this. They are obliged to at.- tend to it every moment, and you may be sure not a laugh or a joke is ever heard Whilo within its walls. ,Evcry one who goes in hasZto take off his boots and put on rubbers, be- cause one grain of the dangerous powder, crushed by ,the boot, would explode the Whole in an instant. ‘ The floor of this house is covered with leather, and is made perfectly bluck by tho dust of the gunâ€"powder. It contains a set of sieves, each one is smaller than the last, through which the powder is sifted, and an immense ground and laboring mill, , where it is ground, while men shovel it in wooden shovels. The machin- ery makes a. great deal of noise,but the men are silentas in the other houses. The reckless crushing of the ma- chinery even seems to give greater horror, and one is very glad to get out ofthe house. The slowing room is next on the list, and there the gunpowder is heat- ediu wooden trays. It is very hot, and no workmen stay there. From there t goes to the packing house, where it is put upin barrels, kegs and canis- tcrs. ‘ Lastly, through all those houses, it goes at last to the storehouse. One feels like drawing a long breath to we the fearful stuti’ surely packed away, out Ofthe hands Of men, in this curious house. You’ve 'hcm-d of things being as ‘ dr ' as a powder-“unfit; but you would nbt think this home- ‘vory dry. it, is almost imbcdded in wzm'r.
