Good chromos ought TO be as
cheap as they are pretty. In the
trial of James SnttoD, president of
the Aidine company, in the New
York court of general sessions, for
perjury, last week, Mr.. Richard
Shugg was called as an expert, and
testified that he would willingly
contract to make 60000 copies OF
either ssEast" or West" containing
twenty-seven different colors, from
as MANY different plates, for S7,450,
or little more than ten cents each.
For pictures of this kind from 81
to S. apiece Is the general price OF
publishers. This will be reveia-
don TO the animated.

IN church, place be breads to go
to for Sunday is day of misery
to him. The other morning he
came home in gloomy state of
mind, and confidentiaIly informed
his mother that he didn't want to
go to heaven. Upon being asked
why, he said there was too much
Sunday there, for he heard the
minister read out a book that it
was q place 'swhere congregations
never break up. and Sabbaths
never end, and he thought one
Sunday week was all he could
stand.

A tramp was arrested in New
jersey last week, taken before q
magistrate, and sentenced for three
months. The Justice in explaining
the sentence remarked that while
there was no evidence that the pris-

he thought it prudent to commit
him, as he had the wild, haggard
look OF a man about to start q

Twas but breath
And yet a woman'S fair name wilted.
And friends once warm grew cold and stilted
And life was worth than death.
One venomed word,
That struck its coward, poison blow,
In craven whispers, huShed and low
And yet the world heard.
Twas but one whisper-one
That muttered low. for very shame,
That thing the slanderer dare not name.
And yet its work was done.
A hint so light,
And yet so mighty in its power,
a human soul in one short hour
Lies crushed beneath its blight,
