The Type and the Typos.

The two most fascinating sounds,
not human. to which I have ever list
ened, are the click of the telegraph
and the click Of the types. There is
tie of consangdinity between these
sounds--a family relationship of birth
and similarity of service in the things
themselves. Each serves the highest
master Mind; each is engaged in the
noblest occupation--the diffusion of
ideas and intelligence.
As the music of the violin is an in
centive to dancing, ST. is the music of
types rapidly falling into a ''stick' an
aid to thought. Many very brilliant
newspaper articles have been ''set up''
at the cease" without having been
previously written, and in our expert
ence we have often found that when we
had an extra amount Of writing to do.
we could do it more easily and more
rapidly, 10 leave the carpeted sanctunl
and the cushioned chair and sit at a
bare table in the composing room, ,
where we could catch the infection of
the industry around us.
Of the types themselves we never
weary. They are the civilizers-a die
tionary reduced to its lowest denomina-
ton. They look dull enough, but all
the glorious possibilities that the hu-
man heart can hope for are in their
possession--you have but to learn the
secret they so closely keep. If one
but knew how to properly pick out and
arrange those little pieces of metal,
princely fortune and immortal fame
would be his reward. 1t took but a
handful to make the "Heathen Chi
nee" yet that handful made the name
of Bret Harte a household word, and
| placed ducats at his disposal There
are plenty Of possibilities left in them
yet There are finer strains there than
poet has ever sang: there IS keener
wit, more fearful pathos, more persua-
sive prayer than tongue has uttered OF
ear has heard. Get it out if you can.
They are patient Of delay.
1t is interesting to trace the analogy
between these types and the mind
which is their master. 4 locked
form gives no more indication to the
Impractical eye Of the satire that may
be sparkling, or the sorrow that may
be sobbing through it. than an impas-
sive face gives Of the thought which
may be moving in the brain. And
again, as the life of man Is often
quicken, his soul strengthened and his
energy increased by stress OF adverse
circumstances, so it is only a tight
squeeze which reveals the life with
in the types. The baptism OF INK
must descend upon them, and the
strong arms of the press must embrace
them before the life that is in them Is
made manifest
The typos are as interesting as
the types. The printer has been well
called ''the adjutant cf thought" He
is more than mechanic, although
much of bis labor is mechanical. The
faithful, conscientious, pains-taking
printer is deserving of an honor that
he rarely receives. Quite often he is
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1873-12-18

the superior in intelligence to the writ
er whose copy comes into his hands,
and it IS owing to his judgment and
care that the writer makes so present
able an appearance in print. Stand
ing silently at his case, busy with hand
and brain, the copy" that comes to
him is miniature panorama of the
multitudinQus life Of the world. 4
jest, murder, d speech, a song, fu-
neral, or dance, each is chronicled
and forgotten, just as they are briefly
commented on and forgotten by the
basy world outside.
Among typos" there is a fellowship
closer than among any other artisans.
To belong to the craft is a passport
to the sympathy of all. The needy
printer can always fnd cease, " which
his more favored. brother typo will re-
linquish to him for time, or he will
receive a donation by asking for it.
No printer, whether deserving or not,
goes emptt-handed from the Office
where his needs are known. These
needy printers are frequently the veri-
est dead beats" in existence. As the
faithful, careful printer is one of the
most honorable of the great army which
swelIs the ranks of Labor, so the
tramp" is one of the most useless and
degraded of loafers. In being this he
but oheys a general law : that law
which makes vile woman yiler than a
man can be, because she stoops from a
higher elevation. But we have not
time to pursue the subject. To all the
toilers at the case we reach out a
friendly hand, and hope that when
their life proofs are revised by the
Masters eye, there will be found no
''out5" Of virtue or ''doublets'' Of vice.

Nearer, lily God, TO Thee.
from the Central Baptist. 7

Sarah Flower; the winter of this
touching hymn, was worthy Of the
name of Sarah. 1t signifies princess,
and sweeter fragrance has rarely exud-
ed from any flower in the garden.
The gifted girl married Mr. Wm. +.
Adams, civil engineer of superior
abilities. She was of frail c0nstitu-
ton, and amid many bodily suFerings
she kept her pen at work upon various
poetical productions. At what time
she caught the inspiration to compose
that one immortal hymn, witch is now
sung around the globe. we have never
learned Probably it was some season
Of peculiar trial, when the bruised spir-
it emitted the odor of a childlike sub
mission to a chastening Father. Her
hymn first appeared in a volume Of sa-
cred lyrics by Mr. Fox, in England
about the year 1S41. The authoress
did not live to catch the flame it was
to bring, for she died in 1S49, aged a
years. She was buried near NARROW,
in Essex. Presently the hymn began
to work its way into various collections
Of songs Of worship. 1t was married
to the tune Of ''Bethany;" everybody
caught the strain In noonday gath
erinSs for prayer it soon became so ia
miliar that if anybody ''struck up
the hymn, the whole audience joined
in.

P0lintO's Philosophy.
ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.
For the Reporter.l

| I or the RcpOfIef'l
In the outset of your life, study
carefully the old landmarks, the beat
en- paths, the charts and directions,
that plainly disclose the hidden rocks,
the shallow and the deep places; re-
vealing the easy and the difficult sail
ing,--that you may the more surely
avoid the treacherous sands, and hid
den rocks upon which many noble
lives and fortunes have foundered.
Choose your course and destination be-
fore you set sail, and put all in readi-
ness. In other. words, to the young
man, and the youth who is looking to
manhood, let me say; choose mo1g, that
business, occupation, or profession
which you like best, and henceforth
aim steadily to prepare yourself fully
for its duties, that you may excel.
Do not drift by idleness, into He'll as
so many have done before you. The
young man who starts in life without
any definite object, er an education
fitting him for some particular avoca-
tiCn is. like the mariner in the middle
of the ocean without chart, compass,
or rudder to guide his bark to a secure
haven.
Aim at the accomplishment of some
worthy and noble object in life, no
matter how high your ambition may
reach-by aiming you will strike nearer
the mark than if you shoot at ran
dom.
And to fathers and mothers to whom
God has committed the care and edu-
cation of boys, let me say: God has
put fearful responsibility upon you.
Impress upon your boys the necessity
Of fitting themselves for life, and the
certainty that they cannot always lean
upon you. Like the eagle make the
home nest untenable for them unless
they are learning the duties of life.
The influence of good sensible advice
and direction from you, Will descend
through countless generations and tell
the story Of the future of your family.
You MAY learn lesson from the cir
cumstance8 connected with the lives of
many great men Of the past, who
were trained by christian mothers, or
left orphans in youth and thus early
learned the necessity of preparation
for life.
Tt were better for your boys, that
you were dead, than. as now, that you
furnish them with clothes and susie
nance for the body, leaving the heart
and head to find their own edu cation
in saloons and other like places, wherev-
er the devil may lead, as he is sure to
lead the idle. Do you love your boys ?
Think, is this the way to manifest it?
Allowing them to run lille in tho streets
and grow up in ignorance, wholly un-
fitted for any business that will secure
them an honest livelihood. All, fool
ish do.ing mothers ! and easy loving
fathers you are heaping Goals Of fire
upon your own heads. and upon your
unfortunate children. unfortunate be-
cause they are yours.
