Daily Democrat A very complete filling for open cracks In floors may be made by thoroughly soak ing newspapers In a paste made of one pound of flour, three quarts of water, a tablespoonful of alum, thoroughly boiled and mixed ; make the final mixture about as thick as putty, a kind of paper putty ,and it will harden like papier-mache. He that can give little assistance himself may yet perform the duty of charity by inflaming the ardor of others, and lecom mending the petitions which he cannot grant to those who have more to bestow. The widow that shall give her mite to the treasury, the poor man who shall bring to the thirsty a cup of cold water, shall not lose their reward. John Wanamaker is at the head of a movement to organize a great Presbyterian club at Philadelphia. Ex. If John is as successful in raising funds for that club as he was in raising funds to buy votes at the late election, the under taking will be eminently successful and the great merchant will have earned a seat in the cabinet of the club, as he is said to have done in Harrison's cabinet. He that loses his conscience has nothing left that is worth keeping. Tnerefore be sure you look to that. And in the next place, look to your health, and if you have it, praiseGod,and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of; a blessing that money cannot buy; therefore, value it, and be thankful for it.

The total immigration of foreigners into our states from and during the year iS20to and including the year 1S87 amounts to '3,63277i How such a mass of foreign population can be assimilated with our own people is one of the wonders of the century There is danger that this free country be come an asylum for foreign criminals and paupers, without the exercise of the most rigid scrutiny on the part of our Govern ment officials.

For some years the slate of Maine has furnished a large proportion of all the Christmas trees sent to New York, and this year the business will be greatly in ad. vance of that of any previous year. Satur day J. W. Guptill sent 3000 choice trees to Boston to fill an order, but that shipment will form but a small part of the sum total. The trees come from different sections of the state,many being cut in the vicinity of South Faris. Maine Christmas trees will be sent to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and orders have come very freely from the West.
