A PRINTERS DREAM.-A printer sat
in his office chair, his boots were patch
ed and his coat threadbare, aud his face
looked weary and worn with care.
While sadly thinking of business debt,
old Morpheus slowly round him crept,
and before he knew it he souDdly slept;
and sleeping he dreamed that he was
lead, from trouble and toll his spirit had
fled, and that not even a cow-bell tOlled
for the peaceful rest of his COwhide
sole. AS he wandered among the
shades, that smoke and scorch in lower
Hades, he shortly noticed an iron door
| that creakingly swung on hinges ajar,
but the entrance was closed with red
hot bar, and Satan himself stood peep
| ing out, and watching thereabout, aud
| thus to passing printer spoke "COme
| in, my dear, it shall cost you nothing,
never fear; this is the place [ cook the
ones who never pay their subscription
sums, for though in life they may es-
cape, they will find when they're dead
1t is too late | will show you a place
where l melt them thin with red-hOt
chains and scraps of tin, and also where
! [ comb their heads with broken glass
and melted lead, aud if of refreshments
! they only think, there's boiling water
for them to drink /; there's the red-hot
| grindstone to grind down his nose, and
| red-hot rings to wear in his toes, and il
! they mention they don't like fire, Ill
| sew up their mouths with a red-hot
wire /; and then, dear sir, you should see
them squirm, while l roll them over
and cook to turn" With these last
words the printer awoke, and thought
it all practical joke, and still at times
so real did it seem, that he cannot be-
Iieve it was all a dream; and often he
thinks with a chuckle and grin, of the
fate of those who save up their tin, and
never pay the printer.

side" Mrs. Helper paused, casting a
keen, sly glance upon the face before
her. "You're not falling in love with
Mr.. Traquair, are you, Dena?"
Dena promptly disclaimed any such
idea.
''Your conduct, then, was prompted
entirely by the very natural and reason
able jealousy any girl with almost no
hair would feel for one supporting a
whole mountain of it."
Eyes, you understand me perfectly" !"
There was no mistake about it, but
Mrs. Kelper went on as though accept
ing the declaration as Dena meant it.
''Then I'll go on with what | was about

grudge for his high and mighty loftiness
toward little mite of me. Well pull
the wool over his eyes so completely,
he'll think it's Hallie's hair. Mean
while we must be cautious and not tell
any downright fibs. Are those you
have repeated your exact and only
words ?''
"They are. Mr. Traquair is too much
of a gentleman to introduce the subject
again"
"Assuredly. Then, don't you see, you
stated a simple fact, that is all. Such
hair would bring its weight in gold. I'd
give my head for it if we could wear
hair without heads. The color is rare,
a marvellous bleuding Of pure fed and
yellow gold, neither one, the other, or
either, because that doesn't describe it.
Almost impossible to get it? should

WASHINGTON, Jan, 5.-Congress reas-
sem bled to-day. In the house nes;ly all
the members were present at the opening,
and the speaker occupied the chair. The
oath of office was administered to Il. j.
Riddle, of Tennessee, elected TO fill the un-
expired time of Mr.. Fyte, deceased. \
large number oEexecutive communications
which had accumulated during the recess
were presented and referred Nocomluit-
tees being ready to report the house
went into a coumittee Of the whole on the
state Of the union aud the usual resolutions
distributing the presidents message to ap
propriate committees were offered by Mr..
Morrison and adopted.
The committee rose aud reported
resolutions to the house, when Mr.. kasson
called attention to the fact that among the
subjects referred to the committee on ways
and means were those of the REDEEM ptiori
of L. S, notes; the partial repeal of the
legal tender act; and the gradual reduc-
ton OF legal tender notes.
Mr. kasson suggested that, to avoid
clashlng, these subjects be referred to the
committee on banking and currency.
| The subject was discussed by Mr.. Nor
risou. who said it was almost Impossible to
avoid clashine, and by Messrs. Townsend,
Cox, Wood, Burchard, Of His, Kelly, of
/ Pennsylvania, and Garfield.
The point raised was that legislation
referring to legal tender notes belonged to
the committee of ways and means, while
that of the Nationa! Bank notes belonged
to the banking and currency committee
Finally resolutions were adopted giving
the committee on banking and currency
control cf the subject Of banks, banking,
and currency, and the resumption Of
specie pay yments by National Banks S%4e
The speaker called attention to the fact
that Mr.. Hewitt. of the committee on pull
lie buildings and grounds, desired to be
released from that committee because his
business was such that there might tre-
qnently arise a conflict between his duty
and bis interest.
The relief desired was granted and Mr.
