Where's the esquire


Not long since when the cars drew mp a
one of the stations on the New York and
Erie Railroad, curious-looking genius
was seen peering anxiously through the
windows at the different persons on the
platform outside. Presently he beckoned
to an individual, who came up to him,
and putting his h, ad out of the window, he
whispered in the mans ear, in a cautious
tone, but loud enough for those in the vi
cinity to hear him.
"My friend, can you tell me if there is
an officer of justice near here?"
"No, I cannot replied the man; 81
am stranger here myself"
"By gracious, that's bad!" exclaimed
the enquirer-''pm sorry for that-the
cars II be off again in five minits-Id
like to know if;there's one around--what'll
| dog" and out of the cars he bounded
and was soon upon the platform, running
first to one and then to another, inquiring
if there was an officer around. Very socn
the rumor got abroad that an immense
ROBBERY had taken place, and the news flew
from mouth to mouth, till it reached the
ears of an old resident, who, anxiou for
the honor of the town, rushed off after the
Squire. who liveI hard by, and just as
tie cars were about starting, they arrived
on the ground together, breathless from
haste.
Where is the man who wanted an Of
fcer of justice?" inquired the Squire,
when he could get breath.
..There he is!'' shouted twenty voices at
once, in an excited tone, at the same time
pointing out the individual who had made
the inquiry.
care you an officer of justice?'' said
the latter, looking at the Squire intently.
eyes, yes was the reply, "and what
have you been robbed of, and where is
the man you wish to have arrested?'
"Then I'm satisfied" said the inquirer,
without replying to the interrogatory-
and lie was about entering the car to take
his seat again.
but where is the man that has been
robbed?' again asked the Squire, with
some impa ience; land where is the thief?
Why don't you point him out at once?''
Il didn't say nothing about no man
brin' robbed" replied the inquirer, land
| didn't want you to arrest nobody neith-
er-I only wanted TO know if you were
around, and now Pm satisfied" :"
The steam whistle uttered shrek just
then, and the train started.

Printers Proverbs.

Printers have their proverbs as well as
we'll were they to have them stuck up in
prominent places, SO that all could read
them; and it would be still better, were
the precepts they contain to be reduced to
general practice. The following list OF
them, for which we are indebted in part
to the Egter Aeacs Letter, may not be out
of season.
l. Go thou not into the Office ofthe edi-
tor, unless thou hast business with him;
for his dutiesrequire that he should not be
disturbed without cause.
Il And when bushes does call thee
thitber, be careful to take up as little of his
time as possible, else thou mayest spoil
his editorials, or prevent him from giving
some interesting matter to his readers
Ill. Pry thou nos into the contents OF
his correspondence; for thou mayest thus
learn what shall nos be pleasing to thee,
and what is meet for thee TO know shall be
given unto thee, in due season.
". Disturb thou not his exchanges,
much less do thou carry any of them away
with thee; for know thou that such con-
duct is TO him great vexation.
V. Never inquire thou of him for the
news; for behold it is his duty, at the ap-
pointed time to give it unto thee without
asking.
VI. When thou dost write for his pa.
per never say unto him. What thinkest
thou of my piece?' for it may be that the
truth Nigh. offend the.
VII. 1t is not fit that thou shoudest
ask of him who is the author of any article;
for his duty requires him to keep such
things to himself
VIII. When thou dost enter print
ing-office, have a care unto thyself that
thou dost not touch the type; for thou
mayest cause the printer much trouble.
TX. Look not thou at the copy which
is in the hands of the compositors, for that
is not meet in he sight of the printer.
X Neither examine the prof sheet;
for it is not ready to meet thine eye, that
thou mayest understand it.

what we saw at the Circus.

The celebrated Dan Rice and his Circus
was in town last Saturday, accompanied
by the great Australian Bear,a camel, the
Elephant, and other sights to make the
show complete. Fortunately for the
COLLAPSED condition of our 'wallet," we
had a free ticket and went to the Exhibition
Having seen the E ephant and other curl.
osities of Dams Circus at various times
heretofore, we turned our attention more
particularly TO the different varieties oI
humanity who were Witnessing the per-
formances.
We saw man there with his wife and
six children, who had come four Or FIVE
miles through the mud to enjoy the sport
1t cost him about two dollars fer tickets
and as much for incidentals, but he is toe
poor to take paper and only sends his
children to school when the public money
is used. 1t was something of a '-show'
to see how his boys and girls devoured
gingerbread, discussed the merits off ans
mules, and gazed with aslonshment al
the Elephant.
We saw man there who had rode eight
miles through the mud, put up at a hoteI
in town, spent money freely, and exhibited
great deal of satisfaction at the perform
ances, smoked a cigar, and looked as
large as if he owned the concern! The
fellow owes us five dollars on subscription
and it was with feelings of extraordinary
satisfaction that We witnessed the way
he "went it" on our money. We felt We
ry much like dunning the rascal, but WE
concluded it wouldn't be genteel to MAJ
his peculiar comfort at the time. One
OF these days well probably find him
when he is "hard up" "IL's the way o.
the world, for great many people tc
pay cash in advance to go into circus
and cheat the printer,
We saw great many of our delin
quent subscribers Of the crowd and We
concluded to advertise for Dan Rice
:Ffree gratis for nothing if he would on
ly add one more feature to his perform
ance, viz; a scene that would have the ef
feet to make all newspaper subscriber!
pay in advance. If Dan does that h,
will be enti ed to a seat on pinnacle o
famine" We saw quite number pres

BE OFF WITH YOU NOW,

Be off with you now-don't know
That it's only cajoling you are;
With "cheeks like the roses soft glow,
And glances more bright than the star!'
IT'S true that my waist is but small,
And my ringlets may curl like the vine,
But Pm not like all angel at all,
N or am the least bit divine
So be off with you now-don't see
You're deluding from eve until dawn?
Ny step may be bounding and free,
But | IN not in the least like a fawn!
But twas ever the method we know,
Since Adam and Eve began
That bosoms were sure to be snow,
And necks were, of course, like the swan
Come, be off with you now, till you learn
To WOO like plain hearted youth;
Let your mind, if you love me, discern,
To win you must WOO me with truth!

In which you are ever so rife
That promised to love ne all hours,
AS long as each other had life!

'Be-gorrah!' exclaimed Pat, scratching

Remarkable Experiment.

A recent work of science gives the fol
lowing novel experiment which settles a
question of some importance in philosophy;
Two hundred pounds weight of earth were
dried in an oven and afterwards put into
an eartfan vessel. The earth was then
moistened with rain water and a willow
tree weighing five pounds was placed
therein. Duringthe space of five years,
the earth was carefully wafered with rain
water, or pure water; the willow grew and
fourished and 20 prevent tie erth being
mixed with fresh earth or dust being
blown to it by the wind, it was covered
with q metal plate perforated with great
number of small holes sui able for the ad
mission of air only. After growing in the
air for five years, the tree was removed
and found to weigh l69 pounds and abou
three ounces, the leaves that fell from the
tree every autumn Were not included IN
this weight. The earth was then removed
from the vessel, again dried in the oven
and afterwards weighed; it was discovered
to have lost only about two ounces of It's
original weight. Thus l64 lbs. of woody
fibre, bark and roots were certainly pro-
duced; but from what source? The Al,
has been discovered to be the source o
solid element at least This statement
may at fist appear Incredible. bus Oh
slight reflection its truth is proved, be-
cause the atmosph re contains carbonic
acid gas, which is the compound of 7i4
parts by weight Of oxyg n, and 339 parts
by weight of carbon.
