Printers Devil.

We have so frequently been asked by
friends and others, why the boy in prin-
ting office is called the '' DeVH," that we
concluded to give what little we know up
on the subject.
The first persons who carried on prin-
ting to any extent, (if they were not the
acutual inventors of the art, as asserted
were John Gottenburg. John Faust, Tor
Faustus,) and Peter SchefFer. Germa-
ny was the first place where the art was
invented, and first carried on. The fol-
lowing story is told of the first introduction
of printing into France:
F" In 1862. Faust carried number of
Bibles into Paris, which he and his part
ner, Schetfer. had printed. and disposed
of as manuscripts, at this time the dlscov-
cry of the art was not known IN France
At first he sold them at the high price
of five or six hundred crowns, the sum
usually obtained by the Scribes. He at
forwards lowered the price to sixty, which
created universal astonishment but when
he produced them according to the de-
mand, and even reduced it to thirty, all
Paris became agitated.
The uniformity of the copies increased
their wonder, the Porisans considering it
Il task beyond human invention infor-
nations were given to the police against
him as IL magician his lodgings were
searched, a great number of bibles were
found and seized ; the red ink with which
they were embelished was said to be his
blood. Il was seriously adj Judged that he
was in league with the devil whereupon
he was cast into prison. and would most
probably have shared the fate of such
whom ignorant and superstitious judges
condemned in those days for witchcraft.-
He found it necessary, in order to gain
his liberty, TO make known his discovery
of the art. This aTtir gave rise to the
tradition of The Devil and DR.. Faus-
tus," which is handed down to the pre-
sent.
The ignorance and superstition that
considered printing An invention of the
Evil One woull also. very natur Ally. sup
pose the man engaged in it a. being the
servants of Satan. If not ac uaIty henls

1t is universally considered that the
above story gave rise to the practice of
calling the oftice-boy by tie name of "DE-

TO MISS MARY NJ. ws.s.s.


The morn was fair, the sky was clear,
No breath came Ger the sea
When Mary left her lovely cot
And wandered forth with me.
Her dark brown hair is braided
Der her brow of spotless white;
Her soft blue eye now languishes,
Now flashes with delight.
There was comfort ever on thy lips,
And the kind look on your brow;
1 bless you for that name, Mary,
Though tell it to you now.
When GOODNESS or deceit. Mary,
Shall slight the beauty now they prize,
And deem it but faded light
Which beams within your eyes
Dear Mary, the breezes murmur low
Around the grove and hawthorn tree,
Whose wide and leafy branches oft
Have safely shaded thee and me.
'Tis but step down yonder lane,
And the little church stands near,
The church where We viii wed, Mary,
= see the spire from here.

through his brain.
For an instant. the two remaining vii
lains were confounded, but they quickly
Ieomprehended the nature and position OF
their enemy. and they sprang for the lad
der. They did not reach it, however. for
at that moment the outer door was flung
open, and the hounds-four of them
sprang into the house. With deep,
wild yell. the animals leaped upon the
villains, and they had drawn them to the
door just as the old hunter came from his
room.

continued, clapping his hanes and shout

Old Slater rcomprehended in a moment,
the nature OF the scene. and sprang to-

both lost their knives. and the dogs had

as the dogs had made quick work in disa-
bling them.
After they had been looked to, the old
man cast his eyes about the room. They
rested a moment upon the body of him
that had been shot. and they turned up
on the boys. Philip told him all that had
happened. 1t seemed some time before
the old hunter could crowd the whole
teeming truth through his mind. but AS he
gradually comprehended it all! soft,
grateful. proud light broke over his fea-
lures, and he held his arms out to his
sons.
",Noble, noble boys % he uttered, as
he clasped them to his bosom. God

For long time that old man gazed on
his boys in silence. Tears of love and

joyous. holy pride.

THE DARDANELIpsl


The old gates of Janus were opened
when Rome was at war and their mo-
dern prototypes the Dardanelles straits,
are open only when a state OF war makes
treaty sipulations void, and the Porte
deems it to be necessary to admit his allies
through them 10 protect his capital. The
accounts we have are that they are now
open for the passage of the British and
French fleets.
The Dardanelles. from which the strait.
or HcllespOnt. derives its name, are four
strong castles built opposite each other ON
the European aud a static coasts. and are the
keys of Constantinople. Two of these
castles, were raised by Mahommed IL.
soon after the conquest of Constantinople,
IN l453 tho other two. the new castles,
were built in the middle OF The seven
teenth century to protect the Turks against
the VeneuAus. The latter command the
HeilespOnt, aud the distance from each is
about two miles and a quarter in four
hours sail up the strait are che Md cas-
ties, which are about three quarters Of
mile apart. These well mounted with
formidable batteries. All along the
European shore to Marmora the aspect Of
nature for It's ruggedness corresponds with
the frown OF the guns but the scenery
on the Asiatic shore is beautiful. The
regi m abounds too. in places famous in
classic story. Here it was Leander paid
its mighty visits to Hero; here the Inflated
hosts Of Xerxes crossed bridge Of boats;
here Solyman Crossed on a bare raft and
in modern times, here Byron swan from
Sestos to Abydos.
These famous straits have been more
than once passed. In 1910 the Russian
squadron under EIphistons, appeared be-
fore the lower castles and the ad.
