TYPE SETTING.-Queer ideas country
greenhorns' sometimes have of the myste-
ries of printing Couldn't help laughing
some years ago at tall pumpkin, who
stalked into country printing office where
we chanced to be, to buy Bible if you
hain't got any on hand, said he, deposit
ing himself in chair, 'I'll jest squat down
here till you can print me one. Don't be
in hurry, puther; for can wait "half
an hour, jest as well as not An exchange
tells the following good 'un,
"A raw boy coming into printing Office
to learn the business, the foreman asked
the question
Have you ever set any : meaning type
of course.
'Set3 reckon I kin; haven't set all
our old hens and didn't every one OF 'em
hatch out every egg put under 'em, ex-

You'll do said the foreman, I don't
want you to set hens, but to set at the
stand'
'Waal, that's quare you want me to
set at the stand, like them set of tellers

WoMAN's LAuGH-A woman has ne
natural grace more betwitching than a
sweet laugh. 1t like the sound of flutes
on the water 1t leaps from her heart III
d clear sparkling rill, and the heart that
hears it feels as if it bathed in the cool,
exhilirating spring Have you ever pur-
sued an unseen fugitive through trees, led
on by her fairy laugh, now here, now there,
now lost, now found ? We have. And
we are now pursuing that wandering voice
to this day. Sometimes it comes to us in
the midst of care, or sorrow, or irksome
business and then we turn away and lis
ten, and hear it wringing through the
room like a silver bell, with power to scare
away the i'll spirits of the mind. How
much we owe to that sweet laugh 1t
turns the prose of our life into poetry
it throws showers of sunshine over the
darksome wood in which we are travelling;
it touches with light even our sleep, which
is more the image of death, but is con-
sumed with dreams that.the shadows of i'm
mortality.

man you love, girls, if his purse is ever SO
small. oh, never marry fop, girls,
whether he's little or tall; he'll make a
fool of himself and you, he knows nothing
well but to drawl But marry a sober
