Beat 'em All.

Tbs Rev. Solomon Stoddard, of North
ampton, the ancestor Of all the Stoddards,
had black boy in his employ, who was,
like the most of black boys, full Of, fun
and up to joke, no matter at whosewe x i.
pense. He went with the parsons horse
every morning to drive the cows to pas
iture. 1t was ON piece of table land somo
little distance from the village; and here,
out of sight the neighbors' boys were
wont to meet him and "race horses" OF,
Sunday morning. '
Parson Stoddard heard of it, and re-
solved to catch them ut it and. put an god
to the sport. Next Sunday morning he
told Bill he would ride the mare to pasture
with the cows, and he (BilD might stay at
home. Bill knew what was in the wind,
and taking short cut across the lots was
up in the pasture away ahead Of the parson.
The boys were there with their horses,
only waiting for Bill and his masters
mare. He told the boys to be ready, and
as the old gentleman arrived to give the
word, "Go!' Bill hid himselfa the 9TH
or end of the field, where the race always
ended.
The parson came jogging along up, The
boys sat demurely on their steeds, as if
waiting for service to begin" But as the
good old man rode into line they cried
$50 - and away went the mare with tho
reverend rider sticking fast, like John
Gilpin, but there was no stop to her or to
him. Away ahead of all the rest, he went
like the wind and at the other end of the
field Bill jumped up from under the fence,
and sung out,
81 know'd yoa'd beat, massa L know'l
you'd beat !"

Perpetual Motion,

A Western correspondent of Hdrper's
Magazine gets off the following good joke:
81 was travelling in Virginia by siege,
and, spending the night at country tav-
ern, was greatly entertained by the talk
of the stage drivers and others sitting by
the barroom fire in the evening. One
old codger worked off good thing. -
"When [ was down to the fair, good
many years ago." said the old fellow,
"there was prize offered to the one who
would como the nearest to making perpet-
ual motion. Well, all sorts of machines,
Of all shapes and materials, were fetched
there and shown, and the makers of them
told how long they would run. AS l was
walking about among them | saw sign
over a tent: "All who want TO see per.
petual motion, and no mistake, meet here"
So, / paid the admission fee, and went
in. Very soon queer little fellow got
up on a box that served for a platform,
and addressed the audience "Lades and
gentlemen, am going to exhibit to you
the most wonderfullest invention you have
ever seen. 1t has been runnin' for full
three years, and if nobody stops it, it'll
run for ever" Here he uuroled "A strip of
paper. "Tbis is a PRINTERS BILL !"
and as he held it up to the people they
admitted that, whether the bill was paid
or not, they had been solo," .....

Printing without Ink.

A gentleman, capitalist, and one OF
the most successful Inventors of the day,
has succeeded iu chemically treating the
pulp, during the process of manufacturing
printing paper in such manner that
when the paper is impressed upon the un.
linked types the chemical PARTICLES are
crushed, and perfect black impression is
the result. The advantage sought to be
obtained is the describing of ink and roll
ers; and by revolutonizing printing ma
chinery, and printing from continuous
roll of paper, it is calculated that the time
occupied in impresslng large quantities of
paper will be nominal in comparison to the
requirements of the present day. Clean
illness in the printing offices would thus
become proverbial, aud the time now vast.
ed making and distributing the rollers %.
waited. We have been assisting this gen.
tleman in some parts of his experiments,
and further information is withheld, at his
own request, until letters patent shall be
obtained. London Typographical idOer.
