TIE PRECi0UsNEss OF LTTTLENEsS.-Ev-
erything is beautiful, says B. T. Taylor,
of the Chicago Journal, when it is little,
except souls, little birds, little kittens,
little pigs, little lambs, little children.
Little martin.boxes of homes are gen.
orally the most happy and cosy; little
villages are nearer to being atoms Of q
shattered Paradise than anything we
know Of; little fortunes bring the most
content, and little hopes the least disap-
pOintment
Little words are the sweetest to hear !;
little charities fly furthest, and stay long
est on the wing little lakes arc the still
lest, little hearts the fullest and little
farms the best titled. Little books are
the most read, and little songs the dearest
loved. And when nature would make
anything especially rare and beautiful,
she make it little-little pearls, little dia-
monds, little dews.
Agur's is a model prayer, but then it is
little prayer, and the burden Of the peti-
ton is for little. The sermon on the Mount
is little, but the last dedication discourse
was an hour. The Roman saI, I'eni,
rtdt, rtct-I came, saw, conqucred-but
dispatches nowadays are longer than the
battles they tell Of
Everybody calls that little they love the
best on earth. We once heard good sort
Of man speak of his little wife, and we
fancied she must be perfect Jijou of a
wife. We saw her; she weighed 210; !;
we were surprised. But then it was no
joke; the man meant it. lie could not
put his wife in his heart and have room
for other things besides and what was
she but precious, and what could she be
but little.
We rather doubt the stories of great
argosies of gold we sometimes hear OF,
because Nature deals in Titles, almost al
together. Life is made up Of little, death
is what remains Of them all ; day is made
up Of little beams, and night is glorious
with little stars.
WuItuna in p0rrO-much in little-is
the great beauty of all that we love best,
hope for most, and remember the longest.

The Proprietors of the DAILY PREss offer to tho
ublic a complete newspaper, into which more mat
ter Is condensed than is contained in dailies of
much greater pretensions in size, and which they
furnish at price that brings 1t within the reach of
every man and woman in Cincinnati, who able to
labor. . .t..r
We ask a fair comparison of the Press with the
other papers of this city of any other city and the
Judgment of our readers whether we do not furnish
paper equally attractive at one-half, or less than
half the cost Of the other Cincinnati dailies.
The DAILY PRESS, since It came under the present
management, has increased rapidly in circulation,
and has now probably large circulation within
the city of Cincinnati any other Journal and in
creasing at a rate equal to the most sangune expec
tations of its proprietors.
From its large circulation, and from its size which
makes advertisements much more conspicuous than
they can be in the large papers, THE DAILY PRESS
offers the most valuable advertising medium in this
city Its advertising business has largely increased
and its columns are respectable exhibit Of the busi
ness and enterprise of the city Its columns are es-
pecially looked

which almost invariably bring prompt answers.
People who are out of employment, or who want
help of any kind place their needs before thou
sands of the laboring employing classes by twen-
| ty-hye-cent advertisement in The DAILY Press.
THE DAILY PRESS has also larger circulation in
Coyington and Newport than the aggregate of all tho
| other Cincinnati papers.
Business men in Cincinnati can in no way increase
their business so easily and certainly by advertis-
ing in this paper
Routes can be easily established for the DAILY
Press in any Of the towns within days dis.
tauce of Cincinnati by railroad and carrierswil find
that little energy and labor will build up routes
which will be valuable to them; and the great num-
Der of a one-cent paper that can be distributed in al
most any town, will furninh handsome income to the
carrier. @
We are ready to make arrangements for routes IL
towns not yet occupied, with persons who furnish
satisfactory assurances Of character and responsi
bility.

The editor Of Southern paper relates as
follows how he once fell in love; ~ 'i)U
We vere never. kind reader, desperate in
hovo, ln,t once. and that was with q red--no,
auburn haired girl with freckled complex
ION, who had but a few pretensions 10 beauty;
mt then she had such really beautiful eyes,
deep liquid orbs, through which her soul, in
moments oftenderness, looked out in passion-
ate fervor, and in Joyous mirth dashed and
Eparkled with the light of thousand dew
we were going to say--but
we never saw thousand diamonds. Her
name was asLaura--which, when breathed softly
by very soft lover is very sweet name
and her clear ringing laugh fell around you
like n shower of silver bells. Moreover, she
wore a dark, wine colored dress, trimmed with
lilac colored velvet and black fringe, with a
neat little white collar Of fine lace, which is
the prettiest Of dresses, and has the effect to
make very plain girl to look absolutely
charming She never perforated her ear, to
hang thereby pendulum of glass or brass,
and the only ornament on the little, white
hand, which needed none was plain gold
ring, sacred 10 the memory OF a maiden
promise. Well, one evening--it was moon
light in the summer time--we sat alone on the
porch, by the cottage door, holding that lit
tie, white hand in gentle pressure, but one
arm had stolen from her waist, and a silent
song of 10y, ''like the music of the night,
was in our soul. Out lips met in sweet
delicious kiss, and bending softly to her ear
we whispered the tale of passionate devo
tion--we proposed. In moment she tor
her hand from ours, and with a look of fineffa
bic scorn, she said, in voice trembling witt
suppressed rage, "Whatl marry an editor

An Astute Refugee.

Signor Dandini was foreign refugee, liv-
ing Somewhere in London, but his precise
address was a secret which several OF his
creditors strove in vain to discover. The
signor picked up a living by translating doc
uments from foreign languages for different
houses in the city. One day a letter arrived,
addressed to the signor at one of the these
houses stating that if he would call on the
next Thursday, at o'clock, at the office of
Smith Co., solicitors, they would be happy
to arrange with him about a translation which
would probably bring him in a pretty con-
siderable sum. The signor was in dilemma.
The pretty considerable sum would be most
acceptable, of course, but then he had a
strong objection to throwing himsef in the
way of unknown solicitors. However, at
the time appointed, foreign-looking indi-
vidual presented himself at the Office of
Messrs. Smith, and handed in the letter ad-
dressed by that highly respectable firm to
Signor Dandini. "Ihaye receiyedthis letter,
said he, with strong german accent. "Ah,
to be sure" said the principal, "Signor DAN
dini?" The foreign-looking individual bowed.
"Ah, my dear sir, }" continued Smith, smiling,
'the fact is, am sorry we have been com
PEELED to have recourse to n little stratagem,
but not knowing your address, we had no
other means of getting at you-l have to
serve you with this writ" The foreigner
did not seem in the least surprised. He an
swered: "Hah, yes, mein dear sir. But we
have had recourse to one little stratagem
too. / am Dandini. ] am one friend of his
He was afraid of this, so asked me tc
come TO see about your letter. Good morn
ing, mein dear sir"
