"The Original TYpO."


Under this heading, the local of
the Dubuque Herald gives the fol-
lowing comprehensive pocket edi-
ton of the life of Benjamin Frank
lin:
Some years ago to-day, Benja-
min Franklin, Esq, first made his
debut into this world of types and
shadows. Benjanin's first opera
ton was one that indicated his fu-
turc, for his "form," after being
"washcd,' was "locked" in flannel
and laid in cradle.
The next day as he was imbibing
the lac matcrWum, lie looked up to
his mother, and propoundcd her
the following classical Con-;
"Why are you a STAR
She requested him to take his
"ita dinna.'
Telling her to "dry up" he said
it was because she was in the Vie
ldctCd.
During his youthful days he was
apprcnticed to printing office,
where he distributed "pi' and 9TH
er vegetables, "wct down" the
''shects' for each mornings issue,
usually spent his "quoins' for gin
gerbread and other luXuries, "set
up" with the girls, and made him
self generally useful.
In maturer age he cut "sticks"
for foreign parts, and made his
cHtrcc at Philadelphia with a chunk
Of gingerbread in one hand, a
Bologna sausage in his vest pocket,
and copy Of Vanity Fair in the
other hand. lie was duly "lockcd
up" i'll matrimonial "forms" with a
very "chasto"t lady, and within d
year produced the first "work," an
exact "copy" Of the original manu-
script. lie subsequently laid a plan
to catch celestial individual called
Lightning, and was only able tc
do it by getting the other con q
string," and then laid him in a
Leyden bottle-but subsequently
disposed of him to a fellow-typo
named Morse, who set him up in
the news business.
Mr.. Franklin grew older some
years after, although not so fast as
Mrs. Franklin, for although a third
older than she at their marriage,
(he 80, she 2O he was only a quar-
ter older than she 10 years after
they were made one. He signed
the Declaration of Independence,
was raised to the highest position,
until "struck off, by Death.

BE- A droll fellow was asked by
an old lady to read the newspapers,
and taking one up began as fol-
lows: Last night yesterday morn
ing, about two o'clock in the after
noon, before breakfast, a hungry
boy about forty years old, bought a
big custard for levy, and threw it
through q brick wall nine feet
thick, and jumping over it broke
his right ankle just above the left
knee, fell into a dry mill pond and
was drowned. About forty years
after that, on the same day, an old
cat had nine turkey gobblers; a
high wind blew Yankee Doodle on
a frying pan, and knocked the old
Dutch church down and killed a
SOW and two other dead pigs at
Boston, where a deaf and dumb
man was talking French to his aunt
Peter.
The old lady, taking a long
breath, exclaimed: "My! die. you
ever"

THE WAY OF LIFE.

THE WAY OF LIFE.
A youth would marry maiden,
For fair and fond was she;
BNt she was rich, and he was poor
And so it might not be.
a lady never could wear
Her mother held it firm
~ gown that come ofan India plant
And not OF an India worm
And so the cruel word was spoken,
And 50 it was two hearts were broken
\ youth would marry a maiden,
For fair and fond was she;
But he was high, and she was low,
And so it might not be,
A man who had worn spur
In ancient battle won
Hadscntit down, withgreat rcnown,
To goan his future son
And so the cruel word was spoken,
And SO it was two hearts were broken.
A youth would marry maiden,
For fair and fond was she;
But their sircs disputed about the Mass,
And so it might not be-
A couple of wicked kings,
Three hundred years agone,
Had played.a royal game of Chess,
And the church had been pawr.
And so the cruel word was spoken,
And so it was two hearts was broken.

Selected Poetry. .
THE SAILORS VALENTINE.
ny EITz-JAMEs,,o BRTEy.

ny EETz-JAArs..o'D o'DRIES.
All! Maggie, would that lEcould send
To you some sweet and tender line,
To tell you that your sailor lad
Still claims you for his valentine.
But all around is lonesome sea;
The unseen fingers of the wind
Clutch at the ropes and tear the sails
And heap the billowy hills behind
Yet watching on the dismal deck,
Throughmidnighthours so drearand black
Ny heart still sings its valentine,
But who Will bear the message back?
Clouds scudding by the watery moon,
Go bless her cottage from above,
And shed from high in mystic dews
This lonely uttcrance ofmy love
And you, dark Ocean, myrad-tongucd
Wave following wave with ccaSelcss beat,
Seek you the beach she walks at eve,
And lay my message athcr feet.
Fly, whitc-winged sea bird following fast
That dips around our foamy wake,
Go nestle in her virgin breast,
And kiss her pure lips for my sake
Winds bowling through the shapecss night,
Unkenneled hounds that hunt the sea.
Hush your hoarsc voices to a song,
And sing the love that lives in me. .
Tell her, yc all through midnight dark,
In heat and cold, through storm and shine
The sun-burned, honest sailor lad
Still thinks about his valentine
