INTEGRITY OF CHARACTER. ever
possessed it that did not derive untold ad-
vantage from it? It is better than the gold
Of Ophir; it is Of more value than diamonds
and all precious stones. And yet every man
may possess it. The poorest may have it,
and no power can wrest it from them. To
young men, we say with earnestness and
emphasis, look at integrity of character with
the blessings it confers, and imbibe such
principles, and pursue such course, that
its benefits may be yours. It is prize SC
rich that it repays every sacrifice and every
toll necessary to secure it. Suppose a mer-
camille community could be found whose
every individual was known and acknow-
lodged to possess strict and uncompromising
integrity; the representation of each other
were in strict accordance with truth sshis
word as good as a bond p Such a commu-
nifty would have a monopoly of the trade, so
far as they had the means Of supplying the
demand. 1.-The tricks of the trade," what
ever may be their apparent advantages, i'm
pair confidence, and in the end injure those
who practice them far more than they benefit
them. It is short-sighted, as we'll as
guilty policy, to swerve, under any eircum-
stances, from those great principles which
are of universal and everlasting obligation
Let man maintain his integrity at all times,
and he will be satisfied there is blessing
in it, and blessing all around it.-Phszo-

MANUFACTURING OF TYPE,

90 WAN " FACIO 6lNU OF IL fEs
We find in the american Publishers Circular
the following description of the various processes
which are gone through in the manufacturing Of
printing type:
The letters, &C., are first cut upon a
steel punch This requires great skill
Ehe characters are oftentimes extremely
minute, and every pains is taken to procure
not only Individual beauty but general uni
formity. Not only letters but figures, signs
and ornaments, in endless varieties, are
thus cut. There are also. spaces used to
seperate words. Quadrates, which are larg-
er than spaces. separate sentences, and in
general occupy the position among type that
is represented by the imprinted parts; both
spaces and quadrates being shorter than
type. In full font of type there are about
800 different characters The cost of the
separate punches varies from So to $50
After the punch has been cut it is indented
to a certain depth into block of copper
this is called the matrix. Electrotypine
has of late years been used for the purpose
Of obtaining matrices from the type itself,
By which means type founders are enabled
toavail themselves of each others labor
Business morality is of a most elastic quail.
". and it would be useless expenditure o.
time to question the propriety Of the prac,
fice.sse.}
IAN apparatus denominated the mould, il
used for forming the body of the type, and
tA this mould, which answers for all the
types 1of font, the different matrices arc
adjusted as required He who adjusts the
matrices to the mould is called justifer
q more commonly,a q filter. All the types
ofa font are of the same length and depth
though the letters upon them vary in their
dimensions. The mould is so constructed
as 10 admit of the width being altered te
suit the letters to be cast; thus the letter I
which is very narrow, is upon the body O
type, the perpendicular face Of which il
precisely the same as that Of the letter W,
several times as wide. It is necessary thai
that the bodies Of types should also have
all their lines at exact right angles
without this they would not stand in a line,

THE PASS OF DEATH.

It was narrow pass,
Watered with human tears,
For Death had kept the outer gate
( Almost six thousand years
And the ceaseless tread of worlds feet
Was ever in my ears
Thronging, jostling, hurrying by,
Asif they only born to die.
A stately king drew near,
This narrow pass to tread,
Around him hung gorgeous robe, =
And a crown was on his head;
But Death, with a look of whitening scorn,
Arrested him and said, 80
"In humber dress must the king draw near,
For the crown and the purple are useless here.
Next came a man of wealth,
And his eye was proud and bold,
And he bore in his hand lengthy scroll,
Telling of sums untold;
But Death, who careth not for rank,
Careth as little for gold
"Here that scroll cannot allow,
For the gold Of the richest is powerless now"
Another followed fast,
So And book was in his hand,
Filled with the flashes of burning thought,
That are known in many land;
But the child of genius qualed to hear
=. Deaths pitiless command
Here that book cannot enter with thee,
For the bright fash of genius is nothing to me. :
Next came "a maiden fair
10 . -rf -
That stlrs within you strange sweet care,
Should you meet on a summer night;
But Death, ere the gentle maid passed through
Snatched away its light =
"Beauty is power in the world" he saith,
"But what can it do in the Pass of Death ?"
A youth of sickly mien .
Followed in thoughtful mood, @
Whose heart was filled with love to God
And the early brotherhood;
Death felt he could not quench the heart
That lived for others good
"I own" }" cried he, 'the power of love.
] must let it pass to the realms above!"

A RURAL LPHILosoPHER.-Ac certain good
, natured old Vermont farmer preserved his
constant good nature, let what would turn
up. One day while the black tongue pre-
vailed in that State, one. of his men came in
with the news that one of his red oxen was
dead ,t.f .s
''Is he ?" said the old man .swell. he al
ways was breechy cuss. Take off his
hide and carry it down to Fletcher's, it will
bring the cash. !" :" '.,' 'l~ -.
An hour or so afterwards the man !, came
back with the news that the cline back" and
his mate were both dead. -. 4 -
''Are they? said the old man; s'well, I
took them of B. to save debt never
expected to get. It's lucky that it aint the
brindle. Take the hides down to Fletcher's
they'll bring the cash.
| After the elapse of an hour the man came
back again to tell him that the high brindle
was dead. t<~,.s - -zh1.
''Is p said the old man, "well he was
a very old OK. Take off his hide and take
it down to Fletchers, it's worth cash and
will bring more than any two Of the Others" !"
Hereupon his wife, who was a very pious
SOUL taking upon herself the Office of Eli
phaz, reprimanded her husband severely,
and asked him if he was not aware that his
loss was a Judgment from Heavenup him
for his wickedness? 11at14a97a.
els it?" said the old fellow well. if
they will take the Judgment in cattle, it is
the easiest way I can pay for it." ' :
A Slow JoKEE.-The French papers tell
the following, with characteristic JUNCTION,
as last summers Baden Baden joke,
In the company was a young, undedged.
and somewhat green diplomatist,f who neE-'
ertheless was not wanting in airs. Sitting
on the terrace one day, smoking with three
other well-known gentlemen; among whom
was the son of Frankfort banker, this last
proposed the following: :: -

Of my father, is nevertheless not my bro
