The PRlNTER's DEvI..-Says The
Cairo (Ill.) Gazette The printing Of
fee devil Of twenty years ago-what
has become of him Everybody knew
him as the sooty faced, dirty handed
little imp who swept out, built the
fires, blacked the boss boots. and with
them every accessible patch of his
own uncovered hide; who to get rid
Of nursing baby, made most 6end-
ish use of pins; who, for divers rea-
sons (and turpentine) could never be-
guile the house dog beyond the door
yard; who outraged the confidence of
his playmates by selling them roller
composition for juju paste; who, with
gracious show of liberality would
give the country boy" all the red ink
he could carry in the pocket of his
new pantaloons, and who could, with
more certainty than any other animal
living, dodge a boot jack-this devil
is, alas thing of the past. Ink be-
smeared, rolicking, glutonous, one
suspendered, no shoestring little
wretch, he was. with all his FAULT.
patient under the stress of cufied ears
and cold victuals, and, by almost eve
ry printing office in the land, believ-
ed to be an absolute necessity. But,
alas! with the march of events, he
has been swept away-with the sick
lie, the fail and the shovel plow he is
only a thing Of the past, and like
them is a thing-only of memory
The editor Of the Gazette knew him,
has seen him emerge from his estate
of dirt and cussedness to the excel
lence of honored manhood, or TO sink
to the still lower plane of vice and
debauchery. We knew the moral
and physical little wrigglel, and
reach out now over an intervening
chasm of twenty years or more to told
the dirty little devil to our mental
Bosom, and to bless him for the char
acteristics through which he won and
delightedly maintained his appropri-
ate appellation.

A Doctors Diary.

A pocket diary picked up in tho
street of u neighboring city, would
seem to indicate, from the following
choice extracts, that the owner was a
medical man:
"kase 23O, Mary An Perkins,
Bisnes, washwoman. Sickness in her
he'd. Fisk some blue pills a soaper-
ifk; age so. Ped me one dollar, l
kuarter bogus. Mind get good kuar-
ter and make her take more fisk.
"Kase 23l, Tummus Rink, Busi-
ness, Nirishman. Lives with Pady
Mallory what keeps a dray sickness,
digg in the ribs and two blak eyes. -
Fisk to drink my mixture twice Il
day, of sasiperily bere and jeilop, and
fish lie, with asifeidity To make it
taste fi.iky. Rubbed his face with
kart grese liniment, aged 80 years of
age. Drinked the mixture and wouln't
pay me because it tasted nasty, but
the mixter'll work his innards, |
reckon.
"Kase 232, Old Misses Bogs. Amt
got no bisnes, but plenty Of money.
Siknes all humbug. Cav her sum of
my celebrated 'Dipseh rikon,' which
she sed drank like cod tee-which it
was, too. Must put something in to
make her feel six and bad. The Old

A SLACK HUSBAND PUNISHED

"Mr. Moncton," said my grand
mother, | have no wood to burn to
day. What shall | do?"
Oh. send Louisa to pick up some,
said the good man, making a stride
towards the door.
But she has picked up all she can
fLd."
Then let her go and break up some
old stuff.
But she has broken up everything
already.
oh! well then. do the next best
thing, must be off, said the farmer,
and off he was, whistling as he went,
and no doubt wondering in his heart
what the next best thing would turn
out to be.
Now came and with it came my
grandfather and four hungry labor
ers. My grandmother stood in the
kitchen spinning on her great wheel
and singing pleasant ditty; Louisa
was securing in the back room, and
the cat sat purring on the hearth be-
fore black and fireless chimney, while
the table sat in the middle of the
room, spread for dinner, with empty
dishes.
We'll wife here We are said my
grandfather, cheeringlv.
so see. replied she placidly;
have you had a good morning in the
corn field.
why yes, so. But where is the
dinnerY
In the pot on the door step. Won't
you see if it is done?
and on the door step, to be sure,
in the great iron pot nicely covered,
but not looking particularly steamy.
NV grandfather raised the cover and
there lay ingredients of Il nice boiled
dinner-everything prepared in the
incest manner.
why woman what does this mean ?
began my grandfather, Indignantly.
This dinner isn't cooked at ALL
Dear me is it not? Why it has
sat in the sun these four hours
Sat in the sun p
Yes, you told me to try the next
best thing to having fire, and |
thought setting my dinner in the sun
was about that
My grandfather stood doubtful for
a moment, but finally his sense of hu-
NOR overcame his sense of injury, and
he laughed aloud. Then picking up
his hat he said:
Come, boys, we may as well start
for the woods. We shall have no
dinner till We have earned it, | per.
ceive.
Won't you have some bread and
cheese before you go?' asked my
grandmother generous in her victory,
as women almost always are. And so
she won the victory.

Worn out, indeed Ralph thought,
as he raised the little figure in his
strong arms and looked into the pale,
very pale face. sIt was only the re-
action from fatigue and anxiety, and
in a few moments Flora opened her
eyes to see Ralph bending over her
his face full of tender, anxious love.
"Flora, poor child, you are worn
out. / have been careless and selfish
not to watch yon more closely. Oh,
Flora, can you ever forgive my imper.
tinent harshness, and let me tell
you howl respect as well as love
you ?"
"Ralph, l am a good-for-nothing
firt, but if you will trust such tor
ment once more she will try 10 be q
wife worthy of you" And after
ward as Flora declared, "the man
actually began to find out what his
magnificent eyes were made for"
So she consented, and was from
youth to age the pride and joy Of his
faithful heart.

"Why. sir, its nothing; was ONLY

A funny case was recently tried in
Iowa. In 1869, rich farmer,
widower, made Il will devising his
estate to four sons. In 1874 he mar.
ried a young lady, and in October OF
that year he died. The same applied
to the court to have the will admitted
to probate. The widow interposed
all objection as there was good pros
pect for more heirs, and it was highly
important, also, to know just how
much OF an heir it would be. 1t was
a funny objection, anyhow, but tho
coming event cast It's shadow before.
The court postponed the matter until
the posthumaus heir should be heard
from. a week ago last Saturday
heir and mother were on hand, an !
asked the court to set aside the will.
The court held that the subsequent
marriage and the birth Of the child
operated as a revocation OF the will.
and refused TO admit it to probate. -
This is new point.

POetica1.
THE MOON AND THE HARE.

The moon, In pity to the race
or man In his despair,
Sent to them from her shining place
Her messenger, the hare.
"Gc, nimble one, and say TO men
That az | fade and die,
Then rise and brighter shine again
Above them IN the sky;
$50 they must fall and fade away,
But only die to rise
Where resurrection paves the way
To fairer frieDdlier skies"
But out of dullness trick or feud,
The message which was sent
The reckless little hare construed
With most malign intent.
40, race Of men, the moon hath said
That rs she lives and dies,
SO unto death must you be lead,
And nevermore shall RISE"
Now when the moon had heard the case,
Her Ak, with force and grip.
She struck into the meek hare's face,
Which caused the split lac lip.
The hare, incensed with claws upborne,
Scratched back with right good grace,
And since that day the moon has worn
rough and ragged face.

WEEDS.

Weeds. weeds, nothing but weeds.
Weeds TO the left, weeds to the right;
Never before did see such sight
OF weeds.
The rain comes down, and weeds grow up
p And tower like steeples all over the land
perfectly splendid" and subllmely grand
Are some OF these weeds.
Green giants OF weeds spring upin the night
While other crops mold and rot in the fleld
The prospect Is good for a bountiful yield
OF. weeds.
I'm grateful for favors received In the past,
And | thank the good giver OF all,
But l'm puzzled to lind any good In the tall
Crop OF weeds.
