Not SO Bad After All.

Mrs. S. M. Pollard, n young milliner
of Bmghampton, N. Y, is in luck. Her
fathers brother and her uncle was wild,
and wandered of TO California in the
early days of the golden state, when he
was u young man and his niece q little
girl. The wanderers family would have
nothing more to do with him and never
got any news from the far-off land in
which he had thrown himself away.
They thought aud spoke of him as gone
to tho dogs, and n disgrace to the honor
orablo name Of Pollard. Little Miss
Pollard remembered her uncle. He had
been good and kind and gentle to her,
and she never thought he was so bad n
man. When she grew Il little, she made
eilOlts to ascertain her uncle's wherea.
bouts, and succeeded. She wrote to
him, in her little pratling way, and he
became Interested in the co%rrespou-
dence, and answered her letters regu.
larly. Thus Miss Pollard kept up o
constant communication with her uncle.
Who knows butthat correspondence with
an innocent girl may have saved him,
aud induced him to change his wild
ways?
The other day Miss Pollard received
n letter from San Francisco stating that
her uncle had recently died, leaving her
sole heir 10 his property, consisting of
Gl05, 600 in cash and 500, 900 in houses
and lands. So Uncle Pollard was not
so bad Il man after all. He was GER
tainly good enough for tho paper and
postage expended in keeping up a cor
%rcspondence with him. Little girls
should always lovingly remember their
uncles in India or California. 1t does
not cost much, and the investment,
without any great risk of loss, some.
times pays. II did in Miss Pollard's
case. She will now buy her bonnets
and other fine fixings at tho old stand,
and bless Uncle Pollard's memory as
long as she lives.

The Sewing Machine Raid.

Among the raids which arc to be made
when the next congress meets is that of
the sewing machine monopolists, who
will endeavor to secure Il further extern
sion of their patents. This matter will
be closely watched by the people. The
sewing machine companies have ALREADY
reaped the benefit of q long extension
Of Their monopoly. They have thus
been enabled to sell their machines at a
price at least a hundred per cent. above
that AT which the machines could be
profitably manufactured and sold. This
enormous profit has been drawn di, ect.

mnnity-the sewing women and the

The Duke OF Cambridge.

The duke was Il great d%in"r-Out, and
nothing gave him moro pleasure than
being called upon to take the chair at
any of the annual festivals in aid of
some popular charity but although
the toast which he had to propose was
written down for him on u slip OF paper,
he very frequently contriyed quite to
forget what it really was, or managed
to mix it up with some other subject in
II manner which was highly entertaining
to the audience. Thus, if he happened
to preside at n dinner given at Willis
room in aid Of the Newsvenders' bcney-
client association, flushed with the Juice
Of the grape, tho duke, rising, would
deliver himself IA follow:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN-It is now
my agreeable duty to propose to you
the toast Of the evening, We are met
here to promote tho objects OF n most
useful society, II which has done n
vast amount OF good in this metropolis
upon highly interesting occasions, and
helped many worthy fellow. creatures at
a period of great anxiety and peril.
Ladies' and gentlemen, we are deeply
indebted TO this most benevolent so
ciety. l beg, therefore, to propose
health, prosperity, and success to the
Lying.in hospital"
At this %juncture some friendly by
stander would pluck the orator by the
sleeve, aud remind him that it was not
tho Lying i'll hospital the claims of
which no was there 10 advocate, but the
Nowsvender's benevolent association.
Then tho duke, taking up his parable,
would go laundering on, mixing the
two up together in a manuc highly
comical.
"Ahem, ladies' and gentlemen, / find
| have rather exceeded my duty on this
occasion in advocating the claims of the
Lying-in hospital it is certainly an ad-
mirnble ins%titution-no better; without
it we should probably not have so many
n~ewsyenders, and without these useful
members of society how should we get
morning papers? l drink prosper

A Quaker Printers Proverbs,

Mover send an article for publication
without giving the editor thy name, for
thy name oitentimes secures publication
to worthless articles.
Thou shCuldst not rap at tho door OF
n printing Office, for no that answeroth
the rap snecroth in his sleeve and lOseth

Never do thou loaf about, nor knock
down the type, or tho boys will love
thee as they do the shade troos-when
thou ~leayest.
Thou shouldst never read tho copy
on the printers case, or the sharp and
hooked G ntainer thereof, or he may
knock thee down.
Never inquire OF m editor for news,
for behold 1t il his business to give it
to thee ut the appointed time without
asking for it.
Ii is not right that thou shouldst ask
him who is the author of an Article, for
it is his duty to keep such things unto
himself.
Wh'n thou dost enter his office, take
heed unto thysolf that thou dost not
look at what may concern thee not, for
that il not meet in the sight of good
breeding.
Neither examine thOu the proof sheet,

This is usually attained by covering the
surfaces with some oily substance, and
when this is done, care should be taken
that salt does not enter into it's compo-
