Printer's Devil.

Wo have 30 frequently been asked .by
friends md others, why tho boy in the
printing Office is called tho devil" that we
conclude to give what little VIC know upon
tho subject
Tho first persons who carried on printing
to any extent, Cf they were not the actual
inventors of the art. as asserted were John
Guttenbureh, John Faust, Tor Faustus) and
Potter ShPtfer. Germany was the pIaco the
art was invented and first carried on. The
following story is told of tho FIRST intro.
ducton of printing in Franco:
In 1892, Faust carried number of Bibles
into Paris, which he and his paftuer
(Sheffer) had printed, and disposed of as
manuscripts; at this time the discovery of
tho nrt was not known in Franco. At first
he sold thcm at the high prico OF fve or nix
hundred CROWNS the sum usually obtained
BY tho scribcs. IIc afterwards lowered the
price to sixty, which crcatedsuniversaI aston.
ishmont; but, when he produced them nc
cording to tho demand, and even reduced it
to thirty, all Paris Became ngitated.
"Thc uniformity of tho copies increased
their wonder, the Parsians considering it a
task beyond human iDvontioh; informations
were given to tho police asiinst him. as Il
magician his lodgings were searched, a
great number of Bibles wero found and
seized tho red ink with which they were
embelishod, was said to DO his blood. 1t
was seriously adjudged that lie was in league
with the devil whercupon ho was cast into
prison, and would most probably have
shared the fato of such, whom ignorant and
superstitous Judges condemned in those
days of witchcratt. lie now found it ncccs-
sary, in order to gain his liberty, to make
known bis discovery of tho art. This affair
gave rise to the tradition of the Devil and
DR.. Faustus,' which is banded down TO the
present time"
The ignorance nnd superstition that con
sidered printing an invention of tho Eyi
Quo, would also very naturally suppose tht
men engaged in it as being tho servants o
Satan, if not actual fiends IN human shape
1t is universally considered that tho above
story gave rise to the practice of calling IhC
Office boy by the name of Devil. -PriH'

Jackson's Duel with Dickinson.

Tho following is General JacksOn's own
account of tho duel, as told by General
Eaton:
jackson settled at Nashville, between tho
years 1890 and 1900, aud began the practice
of law. Dickinson was already there. fol.
lowing the same profession. He was great
duelist, having killed several in duels. and
almost certain to kill ut the first fire. His
mode of firing was uncommon. Instead OF
raising his pistol Mt tho word, he would
bring it down from above, until he got it to
the proper level, and then fro. All the
merchants in Nashville had Dickinson re.
tanned in their behalf, aud ho being the only
lawyer there until Jackson came, no redress
could be obtained by tho opposite side
Gen. jackson refused to be retained Sy
these merchants. TO the exclusion OF all
other parties. Tho consequence was that
he issued sixty writs TO tho iirst term of
the court at Nashville.
Ho issued writs against tho merchants
who, until then, had gone scot free. This
irritatod them, and they being desirous o.
getting Jackson out of tho way, incited
Dickinson to provoke duel. He began by
acting, on trials, offensive TO the General.
Ho demonstrated with Dickinson, and
plainly told him that he would not submit
TO such disrespectful treatment.
Dickinson persisted, whoroupon General
jackson challenged him. The time and
place for the combat we're fixed upon, and
tho news spread for miles around. There
wore at least two thousand persons on the
ground, and bets were made, as if it wore a
horse race.
Dickinson himself bet that he would kill
Jackson on the first fire. Dickinson fired
first, and his ball hit Jackson on the right
pap, and peeled his breast. He had cal.
lOus lump there until the day of his death
AS soon us the smoke of Dckinson's 8 pistol
blew away, he saw General Jackson still
standing, aud he exclaimed, "Havn't killed
tho rascal yet% General Jackson told
General Eaton that until thon no meant to
give him his life, but on hearing theso words
he raised his pistol, fired, and killed
Dickinson instantly.

RURAL COURTING.

A youth and maid one winter night,
Were sitting in the corner;
Ills name, we're told, was Joshua White,
And hers was Patience Warner.
Not much the pretty maiden snd,
Beside tho young man sitting;
Her cheeks were flushed u rosy red,
Her eyes bent on her knitting.
Nor could he guess what thoughts Of him
Were to her bosom Aocking,
As her fair fngcrs--swilt and slim
Flew round aud round the stocking.
While, as for Joshua-bashful youth
His words grew lew and fewer;
Though oil the time, 20 tell tho truth,
The chair edged nearer TO her.
Meantime, the ball Of yarn gave out,
She knit so fast and steady;
And lie must give his aid, no doubt,
10 get another ready,
lie held the skoin- Of course the thread
Got tangled, snnrlcd and twisred
"Iiave Patience" cried the artcss maid
To him who her assisted
Good chance was this lor tongue tied churl,
TO shorten all palaver;

And may really have her 7"

HYMN FOR TIiE PEOPLE.


Not to be blest with warrior strength,
To WELD the sword aud wear the glaiye,
Or rise to conqucror's fame at length,
Proclaim the good or make the brave.
To have the power to bidc the scorn,
And rise above the hate and strife
OF fthose to wealth and title born.
Is the crownd courage Of our life.
What are the swords that prop king
The banners in his army's van
To strength Of soul, that dares to spring
And show the monarch in the mdnl
Kings and the mightcst men Of arms,
Strong as the heads of realms .hey hide,
Sport as they may with fortunes charms,
They are like leaves upon the tide.
In dim old scpulchres they lie,
The feas; OF silence aud decay,
While tho true world-heart beatcth high
And thrones itself upon to-day.
Give me the man whose hands have tossed
The corn seed to the mellow soil,
Whose feet the forest depths have crossed,
Whose brow is nobly crownd with toll.

THE ROBIN RED -BREAsT's LOVE FOR
MANKIND.-It is n curious fact thai the
love of our race is SO innate IN the robin
as to render him unhappy in any other
society-except in the breeding season.
when all birds are shy and naturally sus-
picious for the welfare of their offspring.
Go into any wood, walk down any shady
lane, enter any cemetery. seat yourself on
any rural stile-within a few moments
you will assuredly have robin beside
you, and he will assuredly introduce him l.
self with song. 1t is in vain for you to
say to him. "Nay :" he fairly fascinates
you he wooes your heart, and wins it,

hearted, all-conquering bird Kidd on

The LUEas.-A recent writer says that
the injurious effect OF compression of the
chest is shown by the fact that a man in
a nude state is capable of inspiring 100
cubic inches of air at breath. but when
dressed only 1870 inches. Ladies who
encase themselves in tight-titting under
garments, should remember this fact
Though we draw into and eject a similar
amount of air thrown from the lungs it has
lost much of its oxygen. and has gained
from three to six per cent. carbonic acid,
a large amount of vapor, traces Of ammo
mia, hydrogen and other volatile sub
stances.
