Improved Form of Type.

A novel change in the form of type has
been introduced in England. 1t consists in
forming the letter of the type upon It's feet
and sides, by which the composition can be
read as soon Us set up, without the necessity
of taking a proof The letter formed upon
the foot of the type is inverted in the com
posing stick, with the embossed or printing
letter removed from the eye OF the compost
tor and il presents itself TO the eye in the
same relative position with regard to the
other letters in the same line with itself, as it
occupies on the printed page. BY means of
this arrangement there is no occasion to turn
the type TO see the letters which have been
picked up and no occasion to be skilled in
reading the surface Of type. The back OF
the type presents letters to the eye in the
proper succession for reading of, and II u
mistake has been made. the foot letters at
once discloses the fact. To make this ar
rangement perfectly effective, the foot letter
is always an intaglio. or sunken letter; and
as the face in which it is hardened in the
manufacture, and received u stout coating Of
silver by electrical deposition. the metallic
surface formed by the feet OF the type pre-
sents the appearance of neat but boldly ex-
ecuted engraving OF page identical, as re-
garls matter, with what proof would pre-
sent. By means of the letter on the side,
which is also an intaglio, the type can he i'm
mediateiy distributed from p, and with the
greatest ease. When the distribution from pi
Is going forward, the spaces, which are of
steel, being thin and light, will readily he at

DESCRIPTION OF YOUNG DEvIL.-Nothing
can be more instructive to a thinker than the
manner in which the devil is personifed to
some good people, who seem to have rather
too good a knowledge of him for their COM
fort. A worthy farmer at a country meeting
for the relation of the religious experience of
its members, said he had been severely tried
by young devil. Said he He come last
night and sOt down on the side Of my bed,
and grinned at me as / was a sayin' my
prayers; he wa'ant the old devil, dear breth-
rem, but a little yonng one that would weigh
about forty pounds; he sot down on the side
of the bed. and could jest see his tail and
huffs a stickkin, out under his cloak: it was
terrible cold that night, and he looked as
tho they tuck good care on him to hum. l
had a good chance to look at him. but went
on a prayin'; he didn't brighten me bit; I'd
seen his daddy before; so looked out of a
corner ofmy eye, and could see his leetle
horns; they was jest beginnin' to start, like a
little bull-calf, they wasn't more than two
inches long, but they looked as tho they
might git to be terrible pokerish some day.
