A Mistake.

Uncle Richard is plain, old-fashioned far
,ner, rather purtanical in his notions, but with
81 of an easy, good disposition. Never is he
more pleased than when he can collect party
Of Young folks, and by his social manners en-
tertain them at the farmhouse. Among the
exercises of morning devotion he requires every
member of his family to repeat from memory
verse of Scripture.
1t happened, last summer, that gay party
Of young people were spending a few weeks at
the farm, seeking that enjoyment which in
summer the city cannot afford. Among the
visitors was gay belle, who was courted and
admired for her beauty and accomplishment
by 4 large circle OF brainlcss fops.
On the morning after their arrival, as we
took our places in the breakfast room Uncle
Richard made known the rule by which he
copducted his family devotion, and, he said,
che hoped the visitors would be willing to COM
ply with his request. Besides breaking the
monotony of mere reading and prayer, it has
tendency to interest persons, especially the
Young, in those exercises which otherwise might
be dull, it keeps our memory refreshed and
having once learned verse it is not so easily
forgotten.
Most of the party became interested in the
exercise, and repeated some passage without any
difficulty, each selecting verse that was fami-
iiar as household-words. When it became Kate
Grifith's turn, she blushed, turned pale, and
then, as if suddenly inspired, following the ex-
ampleo Of her companions, she repeated in
clear voice.
"a stitch in time saves nine. Selah."
1t is needless to say the solemnity Of the oc
casion was broken up and roars of laughter
pealed through the quietmorning air. Even I'm
Gle Richards solemn visage relaxed intoa smile;
and after the mirth had subsidized, turning to
Kate, who knew not what caused the merriment,
he said
GExcuse my bluntness, Miss Kate, but think
il would be much more to the credit ofa young
lady of your abilities if she should once in a
while lay aside her frivolites and spend part of
her time if only few minutes each day, in
reading the Scripture"
During the remainder of her visit Kate never
failed to repeat verse which she had committed
to memory; and when she returned to the city,
rs she babe adieu to Uncle Richard, she said,
4 shall profit by the lesson have learne d un-
der your instruction-shall study the Scripture
more; SO that, if placed in like circumstances
again, may remember some passage, without
committing so great an error as did on the
first morning OF my visit"

We are informed by one of our former citi-
zens, who is just from Anderson County, that
the cotton crop of northern and eastern Texas
is likely to prove very short one. This is
owing to drouth which continued from the
second OF May to a week or two since, during
which time there was no general rain, but only
few partial showers, which saved the crops of
only some few planters. Our informant thinks
the yield of all the Counties to the north and
east of Anderson, will fall Short of half crop
many planters will not make even bale to
the hand. Farther to the west, ard lowcrdown
the County, the crops are better.

THE LONDON TINES OFFIcE.-Mr Story, son
of one Of the proprietors of the Rochester De
mocrat, writes to that paper an account Of his
visit to the office of the London Times. We
copy portion of his narrative:
One of the most interesting aud novel depart
mcnts Of the establishment is that in which the
stereotyping process is carried on. You know,
perhaps, already, that every number of the
Times is printed from stereotype plates, thus
saving great part of the wear and tear of the
type. The stereotype plate is taken from the
'orm" in three minutes, by new process in
vented by Swiss and known only to him. a
thin layer of soft and damp paper mache first
receives the impression of the type, and afterit
has been hardened by the application of heat
the melted lead is poured on, which is to form
the stereotype plate. The papier mache has
the power of resting the action of the melted
lead, and comes out of the fiery trial uninjurcd,
and almost unscorched.
The plates are rc-melted every day after the
issue of the day is printed from them, and the
waste of type metal from day to day is very
slight. BY this power of multiplying the num-
Der of forms from which the same side of the
paper can be printed, the Times can use three
or four presses at once, and thus print its So
900 copies, on an emergency, in two hours
time. The Times employs in its establishment
some $50 persons. 1t has eighteen reporters
at the House of Parliament, and for these, as
well as the majority of its compostors, the
working hours are the night hours exclusively.
1t owns four cabs, which are employed SOLE y
in carrying reporters and reports at night to
and fro between Printing House Square and
the Palace at Westminster. The reporters
relieve each other at the Houses every quarter
hour, and thus, though the debate in the Com
mons lasts till four o'clock in the morning, the
Times gives it in full by sunrise, though it
cover two whole pages Of the journal.
