Eetter from a Printer:

l am a printer. used to think it
would be very nice TO be irprinter, to
be within sight and hearing of that
editorial, Wdsdom and greatness which
produced our weekly newspaper. So
| engaged TO serve three years to
learn the printers trade. To be sure
| would get nothing but my board
and clothing for my three years work,
but then, l would be a printer, and
it would be such a good school to me.
Well, tile appointed morning. ar
rived and | walked into town and
went at it. 1t was certainly very
nice buisLess, picking up the letters
and dropping them, click into their
places, and then l felt so confident
that l should not make any mistakes,
and that l should get the credit of
having made better beginning
than any one else. In the afternoon
there was a job to be done on the
hand press. "NOw"says the foreman,
"you have learned to set type, and
here's is a chance to-learu to do job
printing" so he set me to rolling the
form. This is most labsrious. and
diabolical operation, in4eAted. by
by Nero, the Emperor of China, as a
punishment for wicked people who
shot red-hot bows and arrows at him
on fourth of July celebration, about
5000 years ago. When Ben Frank
lin invented printing he happened to
have one of these machines at hand,
and (Ben WAS philosopher), he
thought it would be a good plan to
make it useful. 1t has been used for
the purpose ever since. We worked
at tits instrument of torture all
the afternoon, and | firmly re-
solved that | would not be q
job printer when | calne to. work for
myself, unless some improvements
were introduced. When we got
through | had got my hands well be-
smeared with ink, had wiped them
&C oss my face several times, and my
Sunday go-to-meetin's". were orna-
mented in several places with the
thickest, blacklist, greasiest, dirtiest
and most disgusting compound Ito
hanGle)that | ever saw. The next
morning.. it being press day,I was set
to clean the roller, and | will attempt
to give a brief description, Of the pro-
cess: First, you grab one Of them
with both hands, then the foreman
tells you that isn't the way. Then he
helps you take the rollers and set
them on end. Then you begin to rub
one with rag soaked in benzine, and
in doing so You rub the whole length
of your best light colored pantaloons
against ano her roller, which stands
near for the purpose. After awhile
they are clean, but you are not. 1t
was on this day that found that |
was "depil." [ had often been told
that l 'ebeat the DEVIL" before. l
didn't fancy my new title :; L sang 81
want to be an angel" but it did no
good, L was,a devil still. But L could
stand being called a devil, if the Ed
itor wouldn't lay all his mistakes and
stupid blnnders to, the " devil" !
think the old proverb "give the devil
his due" could not have been invent
ed for the benefit Of the printers
devil, for he always gets his due, and
a good deal more. At the, Office he is
charged with all the pie they find, and
at the house with all they don't find.

where the Portland and Ogdensburgh

Every year increases the POPULAR
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and noufisles
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger In,
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and L consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

The latest accounts of the loss of
the steamship Atlantic, give the
number of the lost at $50, while the
saved were about $50; every woman
and child, with the exception of one
boy, some thirteen years of age, were
lost, of these there were about $50.
The Provincial Government has Or
deredF an investigation of the affair,
and it is to be hoped that the cause of
this wholesale slaughter may be fully
ascertaincd and the guilty parties, if
indeed there is blame upon any one,
may be adequately punished. The
drunken wretch who kills his misera-
BILE companion in street brawl, is
made tosuffer the extreme penalty of
the law, when III fact, his act may
have more fully entitled him to the
gratitude of the people as a public
benefactor. The hungry thief who
steals to save himself from starvation
is made to feel the force of the law,
and the money and ability of the gov
ernmeAt is freely used to unearth
him from his hiding place and bring
him to what is termed justice, and it
is we'll that it is so. The safety of So
ciety demands it, but that those man-
ayers and officers OF the great lines of
travel in whose custody is placed the
safety, and even lives of thousands,
should through carelessness or by neg
lect of duty, suffer such accidents as
this to ever occur, looks to us like
greater crime and one by far more
dangerous to the lives and peace Of
communities than the crime of the
hungry thief, and yet who ever heard
of such offenders being brought to
justice. Only a few days since by
reason Of the culpable carelessncss
of a freight train conductor, two trains
collided in the State of Missouri, the
expense was three or four human
lives, besides the wrecked train the,
consequences to the guilty party was
a vote of censure by coroner's jury,
and perhaps a loss of his place. A
similar accident occurred on the
Grand Trunk r. r. at Bethel, in
Maine, some two weeks since, caused
it is said by the fault Of a train dis
patcher. In this instance no lives
were lost yet the guilt was hardly less,
as it was by the merest chance that
all escaped,a as it was, several were
very seriously injured. That some
means should be devised to hold
parties thus guilty to an account be-
fore the criminal courts of the land.
these instances afford but further ex-
amples in the long list, and that steps
have not all ready generally been
taken towards that end, is justly
ground for comment and regret,

An editor is a man who, lives on
what other people owe him until he
starves to death. A subscriber is one
who takes paper and says he is well
pleased withit,. and he tells everybody
else she ought to subscribe" Afterhe
has subscribed about seven years the
editor writes to him and asks, him, to
let him have $3.50 (two. dollars and
fifty cents and then the subscriber
writes back to the editor and tells
him not to send his old paper any
more, for there is nothing in, it,. and
then thespoor editor goes and staryes
to death more.-Shendndouh Herald.

The above reminds us Of the case

where the critter could be obtained,
they set out on their return home. in
a somewhat muddled condition. As

and as neither could give sufficient
emphasis to his particular views, by
words, they soon concluded to. try
their strength upon each other the
result was that the father was s0or

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; bat such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
Of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents tho forma-
tion Of dandruff, which is often so I'M
alcanly and offensive. Free from those
iclcterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
'ious to the hair, the, Viger can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
;aarely for s HAIR DRESSING,
.otTine else can be found SO desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
;ustre, and grateful perfume.
