A PRINTERS MISFORTUNE.

Some years ago, when the writer was re.
porter upon an Eastern paper, it devolved
upon him to write for the same edition an &C.
count of the presentation Of gold-headed
cane to the Rev. D. Nudge, the clergyman OF
the place, and the description of a patent hog.
killing and sausage machine, that had just
been put in operation at the factory. Now,
what made DR.. Nudge mad was this. The
inconsiderate buccaneer who made up the
forms got the two locals mixed up in fright
full manner, and when we went to press, some
thing like this was the appalling result:
"Several of the Rev. DR.. Mudge's friends
called upon him yesterday, and after briei
conversation the unsuspecting..hog was seized
by the hind legs and slid alonga beam, until
he reached the hot water tank. His friends
explained the object of their visit, and pre-.
sented him with very handsome gold.headed
butcher, who grabbed him by the tail, swung
him round, cut his throat from ear to ear, and
in less than minute the carcass was in the
water. Thereupon he came forward and said
there were times when the feelings overpower-
ed one, and for that reason he would not at.
tempt to do more than thank those around
him for the manner in which so huge an ami.
NAL was cut into so many fragments was sim
ply astonishing. The doctor concluded his
remarks, when the machine seized him, and
in less time than it takes to write it the hog
was cut into fragments and worked up into
delicious sausage. The occasion will long be
remembered by the doctors friends as one Of
the most delightful of their lives. The best
pieces can be obtained for fifteen cents pound
and we are sure that those who have sat SO
long under his ministry will rejoice that he
has been so handsomely treated"
Mad? Well, about nine o'clocknext morn
ing the office had been abandoned by every
man but the advertising clerk, and he ascen-
ded to the roof and robed himself in boiler
iron, so that he could watch the venerable
clergyman tearing round down there in the
street with his congregation, all wearing the
panoply of war, and carrying butcher knives
and things. The next day we explained and
apologized, but the doctor stopped his sub
scription and began to take the rival paper.

LIVE FOR OTHERs.-What is the use Of
living, unless you can better some soul and
bring it nearer to God? What gain like
to this can the days give one? To cheer the
despondent; to lessen the grief Of those who
mourn to draw by the irresistible attraction
of sympathy and personal goodness the erring
to your side; to impress the fretful with the
nobility of patience, checking their noisy
complaints by the gravity of your silence; to
Tighten the burden of poverty pressing on so
many backs; to supply the young with a
worthy ambition-that is to live. Woe to
such as die unregretted; whose departure
brings no moisture to the eye! Woe to the
rich man whom the poor of his neighborhood

THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPHER.

It has been generally taken for granted
that the discovery of photography dates back
only to the year 1880, when Daguerre in
France, and Talbot in England, published the
results of their investigation. 1t appears
probable, however, that the art was discover
ed and practically applied by Matthew Boul-
ton, partner Of the celebrated james Watt, as
long ago as the close of the last century, and
was then allowed to fall into neglect, and to
be forgotten. Boulton belonged to a secret
scientific society, which was accustomed to
meet at his house. He died in 1909; and on
the subsequent examination and removal OF
the vast collection of documents stored in his
library, there were found number Of crum-
pied and folded sheets of paper, with pictures
on them of the most puzzling kind. On
smoothing out these pictures they were found
to consist of copies, on large sheets Of very
coarse paper, Of certain well.known designs
by Kaufman-the porous water-marked paper
being thickly coated with some varnish.like
substance, on the surface of which the picture
had been produced. All the sheets found in
the library, as we'll as others afterward dis.
covered, presented the same characteristics
glossy surface, with minute varnish-like
cracks, the drawings of the figures most elab-
orately finished, the lights and shades so fully
rendered as to give much the effect Of mez-
zotint, and an invariable reversal of the po-
sition of the figures. Further research also
led to the discovery of two silver-metal plates,
about the size of sheet of note paper, pre-
cisely resembling in appearance those used by
Daguerre in the early days of photography:
On each of these plates was faint image of
Boulton's house, so Enthusiastically taken from
nature, and so evidently produced by the aid
of light, that experts at once pronounced
them to be Photographic pictures, taken d.
rectly by means Of camera. Attached to
these plates was a memorandum stating that
they we're "sun pictures" representing the
house prior to certain alterations madein 1871.
All these facts lead to the inevitable conclu-
sion that the discoveries Of Dsguerre were
anticipated by Boulton. Watt, it is we'll
known, was the true father of the steamer
CINE, which in his hands first became ma
chine of real, practical value; and it is a Gu:
rious fact that discovery of almost equal
Importance, in wholly different field of fscien.
tiic research, should have been made by the
man associated with him as partner in busi-
ness

The OLD-FAsHoNED MoTHER.-Thank
God some of us have an old-fashioned mother.
Not a woman of the period, enameled and
painted, with her great chignon, her curls and
hustle, whose white jeweled hands have
never felt the clasp of baby fingers; but
dear, old-fashioned, sweet-voiced mother, with
eyes in whose clear depths the love-light
shone. and brown hair, threaded with silver,
lying smooth upon her faded cheek. Those
dear hands worn with toll, gently guided our
tottering steps in childhood, and smoothed our
pillow in sickness, even reaching out to US in
yearning tenderness when her sweet spirit was
baptized in the pearly spirit Of the river:
Blessed is the memory Of an old-fashioned
mother. It flows to US now, like the beau.
tiful perfume of some woodland blossom.
The music of other voices may be lost, but the
enhancing memory Of hers will echo in our
souls forever. Other faces will fade away
and be forgotten, but hers will shine on until
the light from heavens portals shall glorify
our own. When in the ftful pauses of busy
life our feet wander back to the old homestead,
and crossing the well-worn threshold, stand
once more in the low, quaint room so hallowed
by her presence, now the feeling of childish
innocence and dependence comes over us and,
we kneel down in the molten sunshine,
streaming through the Western window-just
where long years ago we knelt by our mothers
knee lisping "Our Father" How many
times when the tempter lured US on, has the
memory of those sacred hours, that mothers
words, her faith and prayers, saved US from
plung ing into the abyss Of sin ! Years have
filled great drifts between her and us, but they
have not hidden from our sight the glory of
her pure, unselfsh love.

saH The Office of religion is, not to drive us
back upon ourselves in anxious self-criticism,
but to take US out of ourselves and unite us

soonest arrive at the beatific vision.

But he had no time for the indulgence of
such thoughts. Without trusting himself
with another backward glance, he hurried
out through the gate, across the fields beyond;
Pedro all the time lying down beside the
handkerchief, and looking after him with wist-
full eyes.

COURAGE TO DO RIGHT.

COURAGE TO Do RIGHT.
We may have courage; all of us,
To start at honor's cal,
To meet foe, protect friend,
Or face a cannon ball
To show the world one hero lives
The foremost in the fight
But do we always manifest
The courage to do right?
To answer No! with steady breath,
And quick, unfaltering tongue,
When fierce temptation, ever near,
Her syren song has sung?
To care not for the bantering tone,
The Jest, or studied slight;
Content if we can only have
The courage to do right?
To step aside from fashions course,
Or customs favored plan;
To pluck an outcast from the street,
Or help fellow man?
If not, then let us nobly try.
Henceforth, with all our might,
In every case to muster up
The courage to do right.

WHO sMoKEs.-Ac curious investigator has
gathered great number Of facts relative to
smokers. Ben johnson loved the "durne
weed" and describes its every effect with the
gusto of connoisseur. Hobbies smoked pipes
innumerable after his daily dinner. Milton
never went to bed without hispipe and glass
of water. Sir Isaac Newton was smoking in
his garden, at Woolsthrope, when the apple
fell. Addison had pipe in his mouth at all
hours, at Buttons. Fielding both smoked
and was rumipant. Shelley never smoked,
nor Wordsworth, nor Keats Coleridge, when
cured of opium, took to snuff: Campbell
loved pipe. Sir Walter Scott smoked in his
carriage, and regularly after dinner, loving
both pipes and cigars. Byron wrote about
sublime tobacco, but was not an excessive
smoker. Goethe did not smoke, nor did
Shakespeare. Carlyle, now past seventy, has
been steady smoker for years. Alfred Ten
nyson is a persistent smoker of some forty
years. Dickens, Jerrold and Thackeray all
puffed. Lord Lytton loves a long pipe at
night and cigars by day. Lord Houghton
smoked moderately. The late j. M. Kemble,
author of 'The Seasons in England" was a
tremendous smoker. Moore cared not for it;
indeed, Irish gentlemen smoke less than En-
glish. Wellington Stunned it; so did Peel.
Disraeli loved the long pipe in his youth, but
in his middle age pronounced it the tomb of
love- Washing Irving was in no wise ad.
dicted, nor is William Cullen Bryant. Both
Willis and Morris abstained from smoking.
Bayard Taylor and Stoddard enjoy the cigar.

WHY JEFFERSON DIED PooR-It is rela-
ted of Jefferson that he might have been a
rich and not poor man, as he was, but for
the multitude of admiring visitors who throng-
ed Monticello from years end to years end,
and literally ate him out Of house and home.
AS many as fifty strangers sometimes swarmed
in upon him in single afternoon. They
came on horseback and in carriages, and doz-
ems of them stayed all night, and many Of
them stayed for days and even weeks. No
other man of whom we have any record was
ever so overrun by visitors for 50 long q Pc
riod. They came from all lands and belong
ed to almost every rank in life. It was not
possible to turn them away. Jefferson had to
stand the punishment, and he stood it bravely
and with at least outward serenity Of spirit,
although his inward struggles were terrible.
He finally sold his library, perhaps the best
then in America, and the choicest possessions
he had on earth. He also sold some Of his
land. A few friends, and even the Legisla.
lures Of few States, tried to help him. But
these efforts were of no avail. His affairs
grew worse and worse. He finally petitioned
the Legislature of Virginia for permission to
dispose of his estate by lottery; but before
the act was passed he died, and his estate was
sold at auction by his creditors, and his heirs
were turned from their ancestral door forever.

How the Piute Indians Live.

The Virginia City Enterprise, of Jan.
6, says: Zone woald naturally suppose
the situation at present with the Piutes
encamped on the hills surrounding the
city to be rather rough, yet we hear of
no sickness of any kind among them,
nor any complaint about anything.
They come in town-men and women,
great and small-as regularly as usual ;
look as sleek as ever, and are Just as iol-
ly as in midsummer. AS there is not n
stick of wood of any kind on the hills
where they are camped or not even n
sagebrush rs large as n mans finger, it
is wonderful how they manage to keep
from freezing to death during the heavy
driving snow storms. The bits of boards
and small sticks which the squaws are
able to find about town scarce suffice to
cook their meat, and is so scanty and so
precious that they dare not venture the
extravaganza of burning it for the pur-
pose of keeping themselves warm. In
order to keep warm they must huddlo in
heaps in their brush huts-old and
young, great and small, piling up to-
gether irrespective of condition. BY
going to the distance of 90 or 80 miles
from the city, they might find camping
places where they could obtain an
abundance of wood, but they would
find their means of subsistence most pre-
carious; in fact, did they depend en-
tirely on game, all would starvo to
death. Here they are able to find plen-
ty of good, strong food, and having that
they appear to defy the inclemency OF
tho season. One stormy night passed il
even the best of their sage-brush huts-
II structure resembling a muskrat house
would probably be the death of any
white family that might risk the trial
yet the Piutes laugh at the storm, an(
in the midst of the whirling cloud o
snow, cry " Ha! ha"

A Good Joke.
to Keep.

1t is related of Frederick the Great, of
Prussia, that III going through the re-
ception-room Of his palace at Sans Souci,
he encountered workman, who busted
himself to get on top of a ladder to take
down clock from the wall, but owing
to the smoothness of the marble floor
the ladder could not be kept firm.
"What art thou doing here, mon ami Z"
inquired the king. Il am watch
maker" answered the workman, "and l
have received orders from the superin-
tendent of the palace to repair this
clock; 1 have been trying to take it
down, but cannot succeed, as the ladder
does not stand firm" "Ascend the lad
der" said the king, land l viii hold it
while you are at work" This done, the
workman departed with the clock. On
the following morning the king was in
formed that the clock of the reception
room had been stolen. No sooner had
his Majesty heard This, than he found, to
his chagrin, that instead, as he believed,
of assisting. a matchmaker, he had been
made the dupe of a thief. Tho king at
once issued an order, saying, Let him
run, have been an aScomplice to the
theft"
