ADVANTAGES OF BEING PRINTER.-
Mr.. Walter. M. P, proprietor Of the
Times. presiding at the recent anniver-
sary dinner of the Printers Pension
Society in London, said he had often re-
gretted that he himself was not practi-
cal printer. and he would give an illus
tration of the advantage which q man
in any position of life might derive from
learning such trade in biz early days.
Two or three years ago he had the pleas
ure of entertaining a most remarkable
person, the bishop of one Of our re-
mote and inaccessible colonies, whose
diocese included the whole of the Hud-
son Bay Territory. When appointed
bishop as young man he reflected up
on what would be most advantageous
qualifications he could acquire, next to
that Of his sacred profession, in order
to recommend himself to the natives of
that country and to render them practi-
cal service. Considering that the wild
Indians of those regions possessed nei-
ther books nor an alphabet, he learned
the trade of bookbinder and printer
before going out to that country. and he
constructed an alphabet and had books
printed. which he bound with his own
hands. for the benefit of the natives =
That feat might be regarded asa feather
in the cap Of the printing profession.

T The New York correspondent OF
the Missouri Republican moralizes on
the Beecher business thus:
True love sits in the heart, and when
it flies nearer the ground, when wo-
mans "inner natures spiral sense" or
whatever she calls it, begins to trouble
her, and she begins to talk of being
restful and soothing, and refreshed
and comforted by blissful seasons OF
spiritual intercourse. Adolphus had
better stay round the house with Mary
Ann, when the pastor makes his pasto-
raj calls. This business has very much
depressed the usual hveliness of paro-
chial visitations.

the St. Louis Globe.
One man, at least. comes out of the
Beecher- -Tilton scandal with an unsul>

Greeley. When Tilton urged him to
call at his house during his absence, Mr..
Greely declined. He said he did not
think it good habit to visit a wife
while her husband was away. These
were creditable words.
