1t is remarkable and most interesting
fact that the very first use to which the dis
covery of printing was applied was the
production of the Bible. This was accom-
plished at Mentz, between the years 1440
and 1445. Guttenburg was the inventor of
the art, and Faust, goldsmith, furnished
the necessary funds. Had it been single
page, or an entire sheet, which was then
produced, there might have been less occa-
sion to notice it; but there was something
in the whole character of the affair, which,
if not unprecedented, rendered it singular
in the usual current of human events
The Bible was in two folio volumes, which
have been justly praised for the strength
and beauty of the paper, the exactness of
the register and the lustre of the ink. The
work contained twelve hundred and eighty
two pages, and being the first ever printed,
of course, involved long period of time,
and an immense amount of mental and
mechanical labor; and yet for long time
after it had been furnished and offered for
sale, not human being, save the artists
themselves, knew how it had been accom-
plished. OF the first printed Bible
eighteen copies are known to be in exist
ence, four of which are printed on vellum.
Two of these are in England, one being in
the Granville collection, one in the Royal
Library at Berlin, and one in the Royal
Library at Paris. Of the fourteen remain
ing copies ten are in England-there being
COPY in the libraries of Oxford, Edin-
burgh and London, and several in the col.
lections of different noblemen.

The Sacredness of a Promise.

An eminent British statesman is said to
have traced his own sense of the sacred
ness of promise to curious lesson he got
from his father when he was boy. When
home for the holidays and walking with
his father in the garden, his father pointed
to wall which he intended to have pulled
down.
ooh" said the boy, ~ should like to see
a wall pulled down"
"Well, my boy, you shall, said the faith
er.
The thing, however, escaped his memory,
and during the boys absence number of
Improvements were being made, and among
them this wall was torn down and new
one built up in its place. When the boy
came home and saw it, he said
80 father, you promised to let me see
that wall torn down"
Instantly the father remembered his
promise, and was deeply panied to think
that he had seemed careless about his
plighted word.
"My boy" he said, "you are right did
promise, and l ought not to have forgotten.
1t is too late now to do just what said
would, but you wanted to see wall pulled
down, and so you shall"
And he actually ordered the masons up
and made them pull down and rebuild the
new wall, that as nearly as possible his
promise might be made good.
at cost me twenty pounds" he said to
friend who was bantering him about it,
but he said, "if it had cost hundred,
should have thought it a cheap way of i'm
pressing on my boys mind as long as he
lives the Importance that man of honor
should attach to his plighted word"

Once upon a time an old sea captain in
the "China trade" received a lot of friends
at his house upon his return from voyage.
These receptions were the regular thing af-
ter each voyage, and at such times he hand
ed over any little purchases he had made
for them in foreign ports. At this partic-
ular one he appeared with rather more
sedate countenance than usual, and much
curiosity was excited thereby.
Ladies and gentleman, he began, have
met with a misfortune, and owe some of
YOU an explanation. We arrived off Can
ton and found ourselves becalmed, and
were obliged to wait for wind. While
so doing it occurred to me to overhaul all
the little commissions with which l had
been charged by you, and arrange them
in order, so that / might be prepared to
purchase Understandings as soon as got
ashore l accordingly brought up from
the cabin my little trunk, took out each
memorandum in order and laid them out

Uhen there toere any, on top of its special
paper When had done so and about to
take note of each in little book, a sudden
puff of wind carried overheard all the loose
papers (some of you will remember Them,

The Farmers Hard Lot.

The Rural Ne,o Yorker says: When
farmer can so manage his farm as to make
"both ends of the year meet" even if it be
with the most rigid economy, he should be
contented with his lot. If we take q sur
vey of the business men of our villages and
cities we find that only three or four in
hundred realize competence for old age.
Then imagine the unhappiness of those
who sooner or later, fail to support them
selves and families respectably-the cares
and anxieties that constantly produce
pangs and tortures that no farmer ever felt.
These men may apparently lead pleasant
lives, as the outside world cannot witness
the emotions of man who daily strains
every financial nerve to meet his notes fall
ing due at the bank. The time between
1 and 8 o'clock every day in the city of
New York, brings more anxiety to business
men than all the farmers in the United
States realize in life time.
No, farmers, your lot is not hard one.
Your food may be plain, and the cut OF
your coats may not be as fashionable as
those of the merchants of the day; but
when you lie upon your pillows your re.
pose is sound and sweet. The horrors of
protested notes seldom keep you awake at
night; and in the morning as you go
around to feed your focks, and view your
crops that have visibly grown while you
were asleep, you may take more real enjoy
ment of life in one hour than many city
merchants and manufacturers do in year.
Our advice. therefore, is, do not be dis
couraged. The times may now be hard,
but you are promised "seedtime and har-
vest' to the end, and with hard labor and
,judicious management, you come out in
| the end victorious"

GREEN FooD For HENs.-A daily ration
of green food is actually necessary for lay
ing hens. Vegetables, either cooked or
raw, are much relished, also, and serve in
some measure to supply the place ofgreen
diet. Onions chopped fine and mixed
with their food are exceedingly wholesome,
and if not cure are certainly preventive
of disease in many instances. Growing
chickens are even more anxious for green
food than laying hens. They crave it, and
when necessary to be housed from it on
account of inclement weather it should he
provided for them. There is no green food
so wholesome for them as onion tops cut
up fine.

Poe I'll @ al.
Pats Criticism.

BY MIKE MORAN.
There's story that's old,
But good il twice told,
Ola doctor of limited skill,
Who cured beast and man
On the "cold-water plan,"
Without the small help of pill.
On his portal of pine
Hung an excellent sign
Depicting beautiful rill,
And lake, where spritc,
With apparent delight,
Was sporting in sweet deshabille.
Pat McCNrty one day,
AS he sauntered that way,
Stood and gazed at that portal of pine;
When the doctor with pride
Stepped up to his side,
Saying: "Pat, how is that for sign ?"
"Thercs one thing" says Pat,
"Ye've lift out o. that,
Which, be jabbers, is quite mistake;
It's trim and it's nate,
But to make it complate
Ye shud have foine bird on the lake"
"Ah, indeed pray, then tell,
To make it look well,
What bird do you thing it may lack ?"
Says Pat: "Of the same
I've forgotten the name,
But the song that he sings is quack quack!

Keep Your Receipts.

People who carelessly throw away or destro.
receipts will find wisdom in the following line
on a receipted bill:
o fling not this receipt away,
Given by one who trusted thee;
Mistakes will happen every day,
However honest folks may be;
And sad it is, love, twice to pay;
So cast not this receipt away!
All, yes; if e'er in future hours,
When we this bill have all forgot,
They send it in again-ye powers J.
And swear that we have paid it not,
How sweet to know, on such day,
We've never cast receipts away.

Eiitorj lntelliseucer:
The article in your paper Of to-day under
the head OF "The CaldWells Kun lmbrog-
lio,' treats OF matter OF great import
aucc to the present and future Of the city.
Some OF the surmises in the article are,
without doubt correct results, deduced
from fair consideration OF known facts,
and others are with no less OF doubt the
result Of tmisintormation, especially those
based upon the aninus controlling the
action OF tue members OF Council. cs-
pecially desire 10 point to few OF the
surmises, illustrative Of this peculiarly
Of the article. One declares that large
majority Of the First Branch OF Council
have persistently opposed the entertain
ment ot this scheme i. e. strengthening
the Run. This is fact Tor the
proof of it is that several efforts
made by the Second Branch TO
to secure the appointment OF a joint com.
miltee on the subject have been laid upon
the table by the First Branch. The
alleged cause assigned in the article tor
such action is not based upon any official
action by the First Branch. Whatever
the animus may be that causes the First
Branch to treat its coordinate Branch
with such lack Of courtesy, l respectfully
suggest that's some other than that assigned
in the article may be the cause Of said
action. The writer OF the article truth
fully represents the advocates Of the i'm.
prOvcment as perfectly willing 10 wait
patiently for the same until the city has
the funds to perfect it, but as one Of its
advocates, most respectfully disclaim
any presumption Of "yerdancy" on the
part OF the opponents Of the measure in
the First Branch.
The writer Of the article says, in effect,
that the advocates OF the improvement
are opposed to repairing the present
bridge on Chapline street. The allega.
tion Is diSproyed by the continuous ac-
tion OF the friends Of the improvement
in the present Council. The writer says:
"Ostensibly, the objection to the payment
OF the bill was based upon the fact that
its work was done without an order OF
Council" Had the writer left out the
word "ostensibly" this comment would
