character that it can have no existence after
the admission or non-admission of a certain

preposterous. This attempt of the enemies

At three o'clock attended, with the Bish-

Head WoRK.-Literary labor is unvalued,
chiefly because the tools wherewith it is done
are invisible. If the brain made as much
noise as a mill, or if thought-sowing followed
hard after breaking plough, the produce of
the mind would at once assert place in the
prices current. If writer could be so
equipped with wheels and pnions as to en-
tirely conceal the man within, like the u.om
atom chess player, and sentences were record
ed by wooden, instead of living hand. the
expression of thought would be at a premium
because the clock-worlx seems to show that it

They will sooner or later discover the man.
If he be dishonest, he will cheat the printer
some way-say he has paid him when he has

or sent the money and it was lost in the mail
or will take the paper for years without pay
