tsTHE LAST CHAwN

"There goes my last chaw |" said a

something that sounded, as il iell on the

whether the "gob" really came out of the
sweet lips of true love. But we he'd seen

clung to it, long after its strength was
gone--lke starving kitten to The tip Of

him to part with it, by the sigh he gave
as it fell to the floor. The sigh and the
sound of the falling "chew" mingled 10,
gether, like the moan Of the rising wind
with the reverberalion of the rolling
thunder. We would like to see the Ia St

PRINTERsS DEVIL.

We have so frequently been asked by
friends and others, ''why the bow in a
printing office is called the Deuii?" that
we have concluded TO give what little we
know upon the subject.

actual inventors of the art ss some as.

many was the place where the art was in.
vented and first carried on. The follow.
ing story is told of the first introduction
OF printing into France:
s. In 1862, Faust carried number of
Bibles TO Paris, which he and his partner
Schoeffer had printed and disposed of
them as manuscripts; at this time the dis.
covery OF the art was not known in
France. AT first he sold them at the high
price of 900 or 600 crowns, the sum usu-
ally obtained by the scribes he after.
wards lowered bis price TO sixty, which
created universal sstonishment; but when
he produced them according TO the de.
mand and even reduced the price to thir.

beyond human invention; informations
were given 10 the police against him as q
magician; bis lodgings were searched, a
great number of Bibles were found, and
seized; the red ink with which they were
embellished was said to be his blood; II
was seriously adjudged 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 igno.
rant and supsrsttious judges condemned

found Il necessary, in order TO gain his
liberty, 10 make known the discovery of
The art. This circumstances gave rise 10
the tradition or" The Devil and DR..

present time"
The ignorance and superstition that
considered printing an invention Of the
Evil One, would also, naturally. suppose
the men engaged in it as being the ser.

TOBACCO SONG.

Come old and young and hear me tell,
How strong tobacco smokers smell,
Who love to smoke their pipes 50 well,
That for tobacco they will sell
Their right to social union.
They always scent the atmosphere,
And you may knew when they are near,
Tho not word from them you hear,
Their breath grows stronger every year
While in this smoking union.
They clean their pipe-stems with wire,
They fill the bowl and put in fire,
A smoke till it doth quite expire,
Nor do they ever seem to tire.
In this laborous union.
Sometimes from three to six you'll see,
Collected in one company,
And every fellow in good glee,
Then they must have smoking spree,
A fetid smoking union.
And then the fumes and smoke will rise,
Like morning mist, towards the skies,
Then Woe to him who has weak eyes,
Unless he takes his leave and flies
Away from such Union.
With impudence, they'll oft tpresume,
To vex all persons in the room,
Who can't endure tobacco fume,
And they must bear the wretched doom,
Or leave the smoking union.
Some keep their money from the poor,
And send them hungry from the door,
And spend it for tobacco more,
Toburn in smoking union.
The heather, who in darkness lie,
May in their errors live and die,
Before such persons eer will try
Them with the gospel to supply,
To teach them heavenly union.
! wonder how such folks can say,
They have religion every day,
And love the Lord, and love to pray,
When they their money smoke away,
In such devilish union.
There are some who tobacco chew,
And tho it often made them spew,
And made them drunk as Bacchas, too,
The practice they did still pursue,
At the expense of social union.
Oft times within their neighbor's door,
They cast their cuds, some three or four,
And spit on carpet, hearth or floor,
Sometimes gill, or even more,
And talk of social union.
And oft within she church you'll view
Them sit down in drowsy mood and chew,
And spit upon the floor Or pew,
Until it spread foot or two,
And sing of heavenly union.
When they are mad they chew the more,
Until the angry fit is Ger
Than they were known to chew before,
Their anger then is much too sore
To think Of heavenly union.
The cud is oft so large within,
The juice runs out and stains the chin,
And then ] always have to grin,
And think there is no little sin,
In this inhaccn nninn.
