No Hope for Printers.

WHEN DR.. Franklin's mother-in law
first discovered that the yonng man had
hankering for her daughter, that good
old lady said she did not know SO well
about giving her daughter to a printer;
there was already two printing offices in
the United States and she wasn't certain
the country would support them. 1t was
plain young Franklin would depend for
bis support upon the profits of third,
and this was rather a doubtful chance.
If such an objection was urged to would
be son.in law when there were but two
printing offices in the United States, how
can a printer hope to get a wife now,
when the present census shows the mum
Der to be l5,067.
