tiful that no one would wish to dismiss
them from the mind. For what can be
more natural than to prefer such objects, so
familiar and so dear to us, from others
which never, or rarely, engaged our atten-
ton. They claim our respect. They de-
mand our love. Our country-whatever
may be its disadvantages in the eyes of
toreigners-the place Of our birth-how-
ever unpleasant may be its situation 10 the
sight Of unprejudiced spectators-have
secret charms peculiar to ourselves. And
would it not be singular if we did not see
charms In our own country which should
be so strongly linked to US as being the
seat of our ancestors the soil of our fami-
" connections. the dWeIling-plac1 of
almost all orr social ties? And would it
not be equally strange if we did not invest
the fAyourite scene Of our nativity with
ideal beauties, since in ic we perceive, re-
Aected, as it were, from every object, the
features of our childhood-the uever-to- be-
forgotten images Of our simplicity and
lnnccence? The man, then, who can look
at his country-his home, or his old school
without emotions, cannot arrogate to
himself any praise for he thereby shows
hjmselfto be destitute of lively sensibilities,
and to be possessed of an unteeIjng DISPOSE
ton. These are feelings that have been
felt in all ages and by all mankind. Even
th3 Romans-the splendid, high-minded
Romans-used to feel the endearing and
sweet attraction Of such places, and never
consider those feelings as vulgar prejudices,
When Rome was In the height of its power
and luxury, Vespasian, the Emperor, would,
from time to time, revisit tondlv the place
OF his birth, and feel more happiness and
true enjoyment in the imaginary beauties
of the Sc~ene-hOWbeit a humble farm In q
little village of the Sabines-than he did
amid all the pomp and splendour of the
august palaces in the naughty capital.
With modern instances we shall content
ourselves with only two examples
Henri ", when a boy, had often been re-
called at a house in the Forest of FOlam-
bray, with such simple fare as milk and
new cheese. When he became the King
of France, he made an excursion, during
the siege of LaOn, from his camp, express
Iy to dine at that house. According to
the account of the Due de SuIly, who &C,
companied him, he derived such great
pleasures from that visit, that he made a
resolution to repeat it as often as he posi-
BILE could. Charles V, a native of Client,
stopped at the city on his way to the Mon
astery.of st. Justus, to indulge" in the
language of his historian, Robertson,
''those tender and pleasant feelings which
arise In the mind of every mai in the de-
cline of life, on visiting the place of his
nativity, and viewing the scenes and OBJ

All About Printing,

There sprevailng ignorance regarding the
art Of printing. We know all about it,
being in the bushes. Goliath is believed
to have been the first printer. lie did it
with his feet, leaving his prints wherever
he went. Printers have been on the tramp
ever since.
The first movable type was in the IF
teenth century. 1t was never fully decd
cd who moved it. Guttenburg is suspected,
as he was guttin' nearly everything in those
days.
An edition of Donatus was the first book
printed from movable type. Donatus was
cannibal He would have dom ate us if
we had been around about that time.
The first letters were characters initiating
handwriting. We would like to catch any
body initiating our handwriting, lettered or
unlettercd.
Roman type was made in 14G5. We
didn't make any until the year following,
and we haven't made great deal since.
But the "Grecian type" is our choice
made of Athens business, you know.
Printing was introduced into Paris in
l470. Being in France, the introduction
was very formal.
The largest size of type used for books is
Great Primer. We never got anything
but little primers III our youthful days.
The smaller sizes Of types are English,
Plea, Small Plea, Long Primer, (mixed
half and half with Great PrimerD Bour-
geois, Brewer, Minion, Nonpareil, Agate,
now editing New York paper,0 Pearl,
Diamond aud Brilliant, evidently very sim.
liar.
Pearl is the smallest type found in nj
ordinary printing office. Cora pearl i:
about the loudest type found anywhere.
The type most in use for advertisements
is Nonpareil. Where there is non-pa,
there is very little rel, nowadays.
In America, printers are paid by the
thousand ems. We once had a girl named
Emily-a sweet creature-and thousand
Ems we have since seen who couldn't hold
candle to her.
A good composition will set, correct, and
distribute about six thousand ems in a
day of ten hours. The shocking creature
If he could set, etc., six thousands ems in
day of ten hours, how many Julias and
Polly AIMS could he serve in the same
manner? ANSWER in our next)
The hand-press is said to have been in
vented in 1850; but, bless you, hand press
ing must have reached way back of that
time. The hand-press has been in OPP
Grafton ever since young folks of opposite
gcndefs were on earth, you bet
lnk-rollers are made from mixture Of
molasses and glue. II frequently becomes
necessary to watch the roler-boys to pre-
vent their licking off the 'lasses.
The Hoe press was patented in 1S47
You ought to see Hoe handle one of his
presses. Before the Hoe was invented,
newspapers were printed on shovel. = Fat
