THE PRINTER.

THE PRINTER
The night grows late, the streets are bnsboa
Inc moonbeams tieck the deserted pavemeut-and
sleep strews its slumbcrous peoples over the nhab.
Iants eft the silent city. All are at rest save the
printer, who is busy at his case.
Dreams, lovely as winged cherpbs hover sbor,
tlle repoSe of man and maiden visions rs MIRO

chiId-out to the printer all is reality, toll and
WEAKNESS.
How nimbly and cheerFully does he adjust the
faithful types; as if he took mo note of time"
as the duties that were wearing out his life were
more diversion than laborious avocltion. But
amid their monotonous discharge, believe US. the
printer thinks Of home and sweet rest. and sirhs
within himself for the better lot of which Others
are possessed. And vet there is no repose for him
though the night tramps on and the iocuud
dawn will soon appear
Why do his motions grow less rapid-whv move
his fingers in SO deliberate and mechanical way.
Whence is the smile that fingers at his lip, like
the first sunbeam at the gates of the morning
There is a gentle presence at his sidc-an eye
blue as violets, CHANGING into his owrl--an accent
swcetas music, enhancing his ear, and reaching his
very heart.
1t is but moment-it was only a rcycr'e-.t
did not even win him from his occupation-it on
" caused his hand falter, not to ccasc-the prn-
ter awakens to busy toll again.
Ie who receive your sunrise flvorite, and wan
der, perhaps listlcasly over its pages, remember
that 1t is the fruit of toll, which was active and
untiring, while YOU were quietly sleeping-that
life is imprinted on its colunns-that your convc-
niencc and comfort are bought with the price of
WEAKNESS

advanced in their art and mystery of modern civ
ilization than most people will credit them for
And there is corroboration of what we say in this
paragraph which we cut from the Boston Daily
Advertiser:
"Thc cxnertncss of thieves in China IS well
known but occasionally they give the outside bar
barians a touch of their quality more astonishing
than agreeable, The ship Reliance, of Boston,
while lying in the river at Whampoa, had GO sheets
of copper stolen from her bottom, at such dis
lance below the water limo that the theft could not
be easily noticed"
