to "show that thore was moro to come"
The scmi-colon is u Latin dclicacy.

typographcrs. Tho Bible of IG92
does not contain it, but it appears in
that of 1903 and aftcrward. Chal-
mcrs thinks that tho use of tho somi-
colon would have saved Shakespeare
from his commentators, but wo aro not
so sure Of that; however, we may con-
ccdc tho point for tho sake of allow
ing tho thcorist to mako good his hy-
pothcsis. Goethe wrote within tic last
century, and in q language perfectly
classical, that has scarcely varied an

The Printer and his Type.

| '''io"ihS Dcautliul extract is
from The pom of benjamin Il. Taylor,
the printer poot
Perhaps there isno department Of
| enterprise whose details are less m-
dcrstood by the intclligc1 people than
tho 'sart prcscrvativc"-- tho achieve
mcnt of types.
Every day of fthcir long life they arc
accustomed to read the newspaper,
and find fault with its statements, its
arrangements, its looks; to plume
themselves upon the discovery ofsomo
rogush and acrobatic typo thatrgets
into frolic aud stands upon it's head
or OF some waste letter or two in it:
but of the process by which tho news
rarcris made, of the myriads of mo-
tions and the thousand of pieces no.
c'.c$$iary to its composition, they know
li,tlc and think less.
Ihcy imagine they discourse of q
wIcndcr, indeed, when they speak of
the fair wlitc carpet, woven for
thought to walk on, of the rags that
tiuttcrod on the back cf tho bcggnr
yesterday. GO
But ihcro is something moro won-
dorlul still. When we look ot tho
Hundred and frty-two littto boxes,
somewhat shaded with the touch Of
'nky fingers, that compose tho prin-
trr's Cease" noiscless, except the
clicking of tho types, as one by ono
they take their places in the growing
lnc-wc think VIC have found tho
marvc! of Tho art.
We think how many fancios in frag-
mcnt9 there arc in tho boxes, how
many atom" ofpoetry and cloqucnco
The prlntcr can make here and there,
If he had only little chart to work
BY, how mny facts in small s'hand-
full" how much truth in chaos.
Now he picks up the scnttorcd clc-
mcnts until he holds in his hand u
stnn%a of "Gray's Elcgy," or mono-
dy on Grimes, "All buttoned up Be-
fore" Now he sets "Purpy Miss
ing" and now "Pamdiso Lost" ho
arraysa bridge in "small caps" and
q bonnet in "nonparicl - ho announc-
os tho languishing olive" in one sen-
tonco, transposcs the words, and de-
plores tho days that are few and "evil"
IN tho noxt.
Il poor jest ticks its way slowly into
the pr.utcr's hand, like clock lust
running down and strain of clo-
quencc marches into the limo lotter by
lottcr. We fancy We can tell tho diff
ference by hearing blythe car but
porhapsnot.
The types that told wedding yes
torday announce II burial to-morrow--
perhaps in the samo letters.
They arc tho clements to mako q
world with something in it rs boauti-
tiiul rs spring, as rich as summer, and
rs grand MS autumn flowers, that tho
frost cannot wilt; fruit that shall ripcn
for all time.
The newspaper has become tho log
book of tho age. 1t tolls at what rate
the world is running. NVc cannot
lind our "reckoning' without it.
True, the grccngrocor may bundle
up apound of candles with our last
expressed thoughts but it is only
coming to base uses, something that is
dono times imnumerablc.
We console ourselves by thing that
one can make of that newspaper what
he cannot make of living oaks--a
bridge ior timc that he fling over tho
chasm of dead years, and walk safely
back upon tho shadowy sea into tho
far past. Tho singer shall not cnd
his song, nor tho soul bo eloquent no
