A Letter from a Pickpocket.

We have received the following curious let
ter, and print it for what it is worth:
70 tie Editor qf he 1riJme:-Sir: Please
advise your readers always to leave their names
and addresses in their pocket-books. It fre-
quandy happens in our business that we come
in possession Of Eortmouaies containing private
papers and photographs which we would be
glad to return, but we have no means Of doing
so. 1t is dangerous to carry them about so we
are forced 20 destroy them. Iremembcg an
instance where met with serious trouble be-
cause could not make up my mind 20 destroy
a picture Of a baby which I had found in the
pocket-book Of a gentleman which came into
my hands iu the way Of business On tie Third
Avenue road. had lost a baby myself, the
year before, of the same age as this one, and [
would have given all had for such picture.
There was no name il the portmonaie, aud DO
way Of finding ont who was the owner SO Ike
a fool advertised it aud got shadowed for it
by the police. Tell your rea 'ers to give US a
fair show to be deccu:-anl always leave their
addresses in their poctet-books. We want to
live and lei live. Yours truly,

Proof Reading.


Prooi--eading is one Of .he most dilncnlt'
and lab,rious things connected with the making
Of books and newspapers. We have rarely,
read book without detecting in it some typo
graphical error. An hour ago we were read
ing the one hundred and sixteenth Psalm from
the Bible Of tie new Wolf Creek Church. The
type-setter had turned "nains" into gains
and made David to say, The gains Of hell
got hold of ne" Instead Of " The pains OF
hell" We have seen other blundcrs Of sim
liar character in the Scriptures.
There are a Cew men who ever can become
expert in proof-rcading. Every man who can
willingly allow himsclfto be careless about his
writing must make a poor PrOol-Teader.
Every column of a newspaper contains
from ten to twenty thousand distinct pieces
of metal according to :he paper and the type.
The displacement Of single one makes an eE-
ror. Is it any wonleT that errors occur? In
the large Offices professional proof-readers are
kept whose pract.ced eyes passing twice over
every line Of proof, detect most ofthe errors
boy is also kept for that purpose, at the
same time reading the copy aloud
Still mistakes are frequently occurring az
ter coming from such hands, and probably 10
book or newspaper was ever published without
errors that might be detected by the merest
novice In book printing it is estimated that
prooi-reading costs half as much as compost
ton. In country Offices, the editor is general
" foreman printer, book-keeper aud every
thing else, and if TIE same care should be ez-
ercised that is deemed indispensable on tbe
city sheets the country newspapers could not
be published at all, because Of tie expense"

TILL HE COME.

9TH He come" Oh, let the words
Lincer on the trembling chords
Let the little while between
In their golden light be seen
Let us think how heaven and home
Lie beyond that " Till lie come
When the weary ones we love
Enter 90 their rest above,
Seems the earth SO poor and vast
Al our life-joy overcast?
Hush! be every mourner dumb
1t is only till lie come.
Clouds aud conflicts round Us pass;
Would we have our sorrow less
All the sharpness Of the cross,
All that tells the world is lost,
Death and darkness and the tomb
Only whisper It'll lie come
See, the feast Of love is spread!
Drink the wine and break the bread
Sweet memorials-till the Lord
Call us around His heavenly board
Some from earth, from glory some,
Severed only-till lie come.

When Aldus Nauutius set up in business as
apri1tef in Venice, he came in possession Of
little negro boy. This boy was known over
tie city as " the little black devil" who assisted
the mysterious biblioflctor; and some Of the
most ignorant people believed none other than
Satan, who helped Aldus in tie prosecution Of
his profession. One day Nautilus desirous to
dispel this strange halluciuation, publicly dis
played the young imp" to the proper classes.
Upon this occasion he made this short but

THE COMMON OFFERING.

1t is not the deed we do,
Though the deed be never so ieir,
But the love that the dear Lord looketh Tor
Hidden with holy care
Ia the heart Of the deed so .air.
The love IS the priceless thing,
The treasure our treasure must mold,
Or ever the Lord viii take the gift,
Or toll the worth of the gold
(By the love that cannot be tolll.
Behold US, the rich and the poor,
Dear Lord, in thy service drawn near,
One consecrateth pre- ci0us coin,
One droppeth only tear:
Look, Master; the love is here!

We admired Miss.MagruGer, and went around
