AN OLD PRINTER.-We have in our office an
old printer seventy-sx years of age, who COM
menced his apprenticeship of seven years in the
Kings Printing Office, London in l7S4-sixty-
four years ago. He was soldier under Sir JOHN
MOORE, at Corunna, in Spain, in 1903, when he
received a ball in the right arm. He was pres
ent at the buriel of Sir John Moore, and remem-
bers the minutest particulars of the scene. He
was also with the Duke of Wellington through
his whole campaign, and lost an ankle-bone by
a grapeshot in the battle of Waterloo. This old
man. after all his hard service is still one of the
swittest and best compositors we have ever known
and, though lame from his wounds, is still able
at "early morn and dewy eve" while younger
men are wasting the golden hours in pleasure
or snoozing them away in bed, to ram
BILE over the fields and through the woods in
search of wild flowers, with which he forms
tempting bouquets for bellies of the village or to
crafty the wishes of some favorite little GIRL
1t speaks well for the heart of the soldier that
all the children love hiln.-Blackstone (Eng.)
