The Errin9 TynO.

After all, neither the bad writer, the
weary compositor, nor the vindictive
proof-readsr is always to blame for news
paper errors. There is an evil genius
who presides at every printers case and
whispers in his ear the word that re-
verses the meaning of the sentence and
makes it say precisely the opposite of
what was intended. The most intelli-
gent compositor in the world could not
hit the words necessary to make the
complete changes that are made in put
ting piece of manuscript in type. 1t
is easy enough to mistake word, but to
always light upon one that can take it's
place and exactly reverse the meaning of
the writer, requires skill that is more
than human. If there are any scientific
persons who can explain this thing in
any other way, let them speak. Louis

A Neat SWindle.
person.

Some simple folks in West Boylston,
Mass, have just been "done" in very
contemplate way. Two well-dressed
scamps found out the deaf people in
town, and then proposed to cure them
for from $50 to 800 each, according to
their extremity, asking, of course, an
advance payment. Some paid from $40
to 500 down, and were ornamented with
wire continuance which came over
the top of the head and down be-
hind the ears, and which they were to
wear four hours day for eight weeks,
as it would keep up a current Of cleo
tricity that would ultimately restore the
functions of hearing entirely. The
swindlers, of course, have gone, but
some of the dupes are still wearing their
foolish headgear.

Johnnie and his WheeIbarrow.

Patter, patter, came the leaves from
the naples, red, gold, brown, as if a
rainbow had dropped from the sky, and
was now falling through grandpa's
naples.
With both hands in his pockets, John
ME stood looking at the fallen leaves.
Something could be done with those
leaves.
Johnnie had little wheelbarrow, red
one with a bright gold horse on each
side; a gay little thing. 1t was new
wheelbarrow. Every boy liked it; and
the bright gold horse was wonder. He
was painted as if running. It seemed as
if he would run off from the wheelbar-
row any moment.
But here he was, the last thing at
night, and the first thing in the morn
ing, always running, and yet never stir
ring step. He was wonder to the
boys. The gold horse was now by John
MES side, still running, and looking as
| if he would go the whole length of the
naples in a second.
"Johnnie"
/ It was grandpa's voice calling from
the barnyard. Grandpa was leaning on
his cane. Johnnie looked up. "Do
you want job? Come up this way"
The head of the gold horse was point
ed toward the barn door, and he went
prancing along in grand style.
"Johnnie, for every load of leaves
you will wheel into the barnyard I will
give you cent"
A cent a load Didn't that sound
large? And it would make the gold
horse feel so well, too, if he could earn
something toward his oats. agreed, .
said Johnnie.
All that afternoon the gold horse was
prancing from the barnyard and back
again, and such loads and such leaves
went into the yard The rainbow had
got back of the barn at last, and there
it was scattered round in sl it's bright
colors.
A cent load! How the cents did
count up!
That night tired little boy lay in his
cot-bed; a heap of cents on the table,
and the gold horse under it. And never
did horse pull a tipcart from Boston
streets to his stable at night, better
pleased with what he had done, than
Johnnie's horse seemed to be after work
ing among the naples. But he was still
running. -NaWSery.

What Model Boy Should Be.

Lady Barker, in recent work, gives
her ideal of a model boy, as follows
If could make model boy, I'll tell
you what he should be like; he should
like cold water and hate lie he should
be frank and unsuspicious, as becomes a
noble, trusting nature, and yet he should
be neither silly nor soft he should have
plenty of manias he should have an APP
petite like wolf, for I should wish him
to be tall and strong but he must not
be bit greedy. He should not be
ashamed of loving and reverencing all
that is good and holy and pure, but with
nothing of the molly-coddle about him
he should have fine, sweet temper, yet
he should be, as the Yankee song says,
can orkered man in row." and he
should know how to take care of himself
with his fists.

The SUNNY of Hogs.

Some commercial authorities and deal
ers express the opinion that the stock of
hogs on the farms in this country is now
less than at any time in the past ten
years. Whether this be true or not.
there can be no question that the supply
is very small, and this indicates good
prices next season.
It seems to us that, this season es-
pecially, it will be wise for farmers to
give more than ordinary care to their
breeding sows and pigs, and that it will
be safe for most farmers to raise all the
pigs they conveniently can, keeping
them growing as rapidly as possible
during the summer, so as to have them
ready for market in the fall shnnld the

the mother, ''and perhaps, in her quiet
way, does as much good as many a strong

what gentleness The boys are some
times rude to each other, but they are
always kind and tender to Baby Belle
In their long rambles in the fields and
woods, they never forget her; some
sweet wild flower, the stray feathers of
some bright tinted birds, or gaily-hued
butterfly, or a bit OF green moss, they
bring back to Belle. When she was a
little thing, and before we knew she
would be an invalid all her life, she al
ways cried when the boys took her, they
handled her so roughly. But they have
learned to lift her so carefully that she
loves now to sit in their laps, and have

tiny hands.

wound her tender little heart, we are all

friend to me the other day. Not for her

world is so beautiful, but how could we
spare her? Who would teach us, as she
does, lessons of smiling resignation, of
trustful submission, of cheerful hope {?
Loving and patient toward her we learn
nnconsciously to prefer each other to

side of life, and bear it's shadows with
serenity.

RAPID PRINTING. The Glasgow NeaOs
says "The change of proprietorship of
the Evening Star and the issue of the
paper from the Office of the Glasgow
MeeOs were announced by 1,025, 900 little
handbills, which were printed in the in
credibly small space Of half an hour
Such feat of rapid printing, we believe,
has never been performed. The process
was interesting. The small handbill,
measuring three inches by two, was re-
produced by stereotyping to the extent of
336 times, and by 4, 600 revolutions of the
press the million bills were printed. It
occupied ten hours to cut them up with
steam guillotine machine, and they
were distributed throughout the town
from the windows of two carriages. !"

IT Is impossible that our government
should permit any longer the raids of
Mexican robbers across the Rio Grande
into Texas. The line of the river is,
however, indefensible, and the true
boundary should be the mountains south
of it. 1t has always been the policy OF
the United States to annex Mexican ter
ritOry, but to avoid any unnecessary an
nexation of Mexican citizens. Hence we
have persistently refused to exercise a
protectorate over Mexico, while we have
annexed, slice after slice, her northern
provinces and proceeded to rid them of
their Mexican inhabitants. We shall
doubtless pursue the same course in the
future and annex, probably by purchase,
the Valley Of the Rio Grande. The ma
tive population will then be compelled
to retreat southwark, and we shall have
a new State with defensible southern
boundary.
