SCENE IN PRINTING OFFIoE.-A patron
of certain newspaper once said to the
publisher:
"Mr. Printer. how is it you have never
called on me for the pay for your paper 90
"Oh," said the man of type, eve never
ask gentleman for money"
''Indeed," replied his patron, ''then how
do you manage to get along when they
don't pay 90
why" said the editor, ''after certain
time we conclude that man who fails to
pay for his paper is not a gentleman and
then we ask him."
"Oh, -ah, yes see. Mr.. Printer please
give me RECEIPT, Glands him s5), and
make my name all right on your books"

THE sEvEHs.-An Augusta, Ga, paper
says sevens are proverbiaily hard years,
and from present indications this year
will be no exception to the rule. In 1897,
1847 and 1857, the country was shaken by
severe financial revolutions and every
thing indicates that 1867 will exceed any Of
the ''seyen sisters" in the magnitude Of its
calamities.

LOST Lost !-"Lost, " is solemn word.
Lost at sea''-''Lost in infamy''-"Lost
in death''-''A lost child''-"A lost man"
"a lost woman" All, what unnamed
horrors spring to view in words like these.
But to be lost at last, lost finally, lost eter-
nally, lest beyond hope, is sadder STILL
What an end for one who might have been
a son of God, an heir of glory, friend Of
angels. a companion of saints, to lose all
this, to fail of the grace Of God, to miss
the heavenly harbor, and go down the
whirlpool of perdition, an unsig htly wreck.
Lost" What a finale to the history
of a being born for immortality and called
to endless honor What doom for one
who might have been forever saved What
destiny for being for whom the Savior
came /! What an epitaph were tbat-young.

In several collections of the war poetry
Of the South, '.Melt the Bells" is marked
anonymous. In Mr.. Simms' collection it
is credited, and properly. we Judge, to F.
7. Rocket. formerly, if not at present, of
Memphis, where the poem was originally
published in 1868:
Melt the bells, melt the bells,
Still the tinkling on the plains,
And transmute the evening chimes
Into wars Tesounding rhyIles,
That the invader may be slain
By the bells.
Melt the bells, melt the bells,
Though it cost a tear to part
With the music they have made,
Where the friends we love are laid,
With pale cheek and silent heart,
Meath the bells.
Melt the bells, melt the bells,
Into cannon, vast and grim,
And the foe shall feel theire
From each heavlng lung of FIRE,
And we'll put cur trust in Him
And the bells.
Melt the bells, melt the bells,
And when foes no more attack,
aa - 3 ehrHficfs slqEl ef
Ehal 500 thanesfas
Melt the bells, melt the bells,
And they'll peal a sweeter chime,
And remind Of all the brave
Who have sunk to gOry's grave,
And will sleep through coming time
Meath the bells.

We are deceived by appearances. A
coat of fine texture may cover a fool, and
If its is believed that he has wealth, his
favor will be courted by his fellow FOOLS
But wealthy man or one Of intellect
rarely command sympathy in old clothes.
We are not apt to consider that a crow
wears a glossy suit Of black-as tasty as
that of auy divine in the land-while the
eagle is clothed in a suit of Canada grey"
Yet the first would rob one of a dead horse >.
while the latter scorus the favor Of man.

o thou, whoever thou art. thou art tempt
ed to commit sin, do thou think on death,
and that thought viii be an angel to thee
The hope of heaven will raise thy courage
above the fre-cast threatenings of the
world the fear of hell will rob its persua-
sions of all their entertainments and the
very extremity of their trial may itself con-
tribute to animate thy exertiOns by thought
that the greater will be thy reward here

THE WHITE SLAVE TRADE.-A New
York leading journal says efforts are being
made by the authorities to put a stop to
the semi-slavs trade which has for some
time been carried on in Hesse Darmstadt
and Nassau. Children Of both sexes are
purchased or hired from their parents OF
guardians. The boys are exported to the
principal cities, where they are employed
in begging, playing the huFdy-gurdy. and
selling common objects. The grown-up
girls are brought to this country and dance
at the low saloons in the large Northern
cities. The owners urge them to prosti-
tute themselves, and in case Of refusal the
most violent means are used to force them
to do So Meanwhile the Pharisees see
nothing but the ''poor negro" rO."-Aempiis
