Typographical Errors.

Typographical errors are often o
source of great annoyance to authors,
and nearly every one can recall some
very absurd ones. Yet it is matter of
great wonder that the text OF books and
newspapers is 80 comparatively free
from them. An octave page of Shakes
peare contains ON an average 1880 dis
tinct pieces of metal, and the misplacing
of any one would cause blunder. With
this fact in mind, the accuracy of our
printing is to be admired. An attempt
was once made to secure perfect edi-
tion of work by Camolus, published
in 1877. No care was spared to secure
the most perfect accuracy, but after the
edition was worked off an error was dis
covered. A printers widow in Ger
many, while new Bible was printing
at her house, one night went into the
Office to alter the sentence of subsection
to her husband, pronounced upon Eve
in Genesis iii, 16. She altered the SEN
tence "And he shall be thy Lord
(Herr) to "And he shall be thy fool
(Narr). For this liberty she lost her
life. Copies Of this edition have been
bought at enormous prices. An edition
of the Bible is known to book collectors
as the +" Vinegar Bible" from the ezra
tum which changed the reading " Para
BILE of the Vineyard" to " Parable Of the
Vinegar"

A Hint to Photographers,

We find this in New York paper: AS
DR.. Thomas Buzzard says, discomfort,
amounting in many persons to actual
distress, is experienced in sitting for a
Photographic picture. He thus describes
his own experience: The eye is fixed
upon certain spot, and, while staring
at this, vision becomes indistinct, sur
rounding objects especially, being lost
in thickening mist. A feeling of gid.
diness and even of fa:ntness is apt to
follow, if the sitting is at all protracted.
The suffering which he, in common with
thousands beside. underwent, suggested
to him the need of some remedy, and he
soon hit upon a simple contrivance
which obvieted every feeling of uneasi-
ness. He drew circle about four inches
in diameter upon piece paper, and con-
verted the circle into sort of clock face
by sketching in the Roman figures in their
usual sequence. Then the parer was
nailed to post about eight feet from
the position of the sitter. When the
operation of taking the picture began he
first placed his eyes upon the XII, then
upon 7, and so on, shifting the gaze lei.
surely from figure to figure, call around
the clock" There was no feeling OF
strain, weariness or giddiness. The pic
ture taken was free also of all appear
ance of constraint. There was no star.
ing expression, and the eyes were clear
and we'll defined. The hint is we'll worth
the attention of photographers.

A Boy With a Heart.

The other day bit of boy called at
the side door of good looking Cass
farm residence and told such o sorrow
full story that the lady OF the house was
not stlngy in throwing provisions into
his basket. Happening to look into the
front yard after few minutes she saw
the strange boy mixing up with her
three or four children, and she called
out:
"Boy, what are you doing h =
"Feedin' these hall tarved shil-
dren |" he promptly relned.
"But those are my children !" she
Indignantly exclaimed.
"Makes no difference to me-" he
said, as he broke off another piece Of
cake. "When I find young'un cryin'
for bread, and ready to swear that he
hasn't tasted pie for over year, I'm
goin' to stop business and brace him
up! Haven't you got clean white
waist which ] could put en- this drty
little boy?"
She looked up and down to see il any
canvassers for the poor heathen were in
sight, and then she grabbed the broom
and ran the sympathetic boy out OF the
yard, Detroit Free Press.

The Extinction Of Species.

The extinction of many animals that
are known to have formerly existed on
the earth is subject which cannot very
easily be explained, says the Popular
Science Monthly, while the number of
them is greater than at first sight would
be supported. Various species no doubt
undergo gradual extinction by changes
which deprive them of their accustomed
food; but others seem to die out from
unknown causes. During the historic
period considerable number of animals
have been swept off the British Islands,
among which are the bear, the wolf,
the Irish elk, etc. In America, during
the comparatively short period of its his
tory, various species have vanished, and
others are following them. The beaver,
formerly so generally spread over the
whole of this country, is now only to be
found in remote regions. The deer and
moose are disappearing in the same
manner. The bison is very much di-
minished in numbers, and must ere long
become extirpated. The mastadon, a
creature of enormous bulk, has totally
disappeared, although, along with the
skeletons of them which have been dis
covered, there are evidences of their
having lived on food derived from plants
which are still existing. In other parts
of the world, the dodo and the moa have
persisted within the last few centuries;
and the apteryx is undergoing the same
fate.

Words Of Wisdom.

1t is easier to see small faults than
large virtues.
He is rich who is poor enough to be
generous.
The wisest of men is he who has most
complaisance for others.
A wise man seeks to shine in himself;
a fool, to outshine others.
The weakest point in every man is
where he thinks himself the wisest.
1t is the best proof of the virtues of a
family circle to see happy freside.
All SORROWS and joys here are but
temporary, 80 aim higher than them.
1t is easier to believe an ill report
than to inquire into the truth thereof.
Do good to all, that thou mayest
keep thy friends and gain thine enc
mics.
Have one settled purpose in life, and
if it be honorable it will bring you re-
ward.
Excess of ceremony shows want of
breeding; that civility is best which ex-
cludes useless formality.
Life is crucible. We are thrown in
to it and tried. The actual weight and
value of man are expressed in the spir-
itual substance of the man. All else is
| dross.
Wealth and want equally harden the
human heart, as frost and fire are both
alien to the human flesh. Famine and
glustony alike drive nature away from
the heart of man.
II you would be exempt from uneasi-
ness, do nothing which you know or
suspect is wrong. And if you wish to
enjoy the purest pleasure, do whatever
is in your power that is right.
Love is like hunter, who cares not
for the game when once caught, which
he may have pursued with the most in
tense and breathless eagerness. Love
is strongest in pursuit; friends hip in
DOssession

one thousand feet above the earth. The
cylinder of the machine looked no larger
than an orange. At length he disap-
peared altogether.
At6t o'clock, having been up battling
with the wind very nearly an hour, he
descended safely at Newington, and at
ten o'clock was back in Hartford. He
said that at one'time he was eight or ten
miles away from his starting point, but
by lacking and working between the
gusts of wind, won his way back as far
as Newington, only five miles from Hart
ferd. He says that the working of the
machine is so easy that he could con-
tinue it for four consecutive hours, with
out fatigue, in a quiet atmosphere.

The Isle Of the Long Ago.

And the summers like buds between;
And the year in the sheaf-so they come and
go
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow,
AS they glide in the shadow and sheen.
III.
There's magical isle up the River Time
Where the softest Of airs are playing;
There's q cloudess sky and tropical cline,
And voice as sweet as a vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are staying.
".
And the name Of this Isle is the Long Ago.
And we bury our treasures there:
There are brows of beauty and bosoms OF
SNOW
They are heaps Of dust, but we loved them SO
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of song that nobody sings,
And part Of an infants prayer,
There's harp unswept and lutte without
strings,
There are broken VOWS and pieces of rings,
And the garments that she used to wear.
B. r. Taylor.
There are hands that are waved when the fairy
shore
By the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear through the turbulent
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh, remembered for aye be the blessed isle,
All the days of our life till night,
And when evening comes with its beautiful
smile,
And our eyes are closing in slumber awhile,
May that Greenwood of soul be in sight

The Factory Girl.

1t was little studio, quite at the top
of the house. Upon the easel that oc-
cupied the post of honor in the middle
of the room, a large piece of canvas
glowed with the soft tints of spring
landscape, and Frank Seymour stood
before it, pallet in hand, his large brown
eyes dreamy with sort of inspiration.
In comfortable easy chair, by the
door, sat plump, rosy, little female, in
face cap with plenty of narrow white
satin ribbons futtering from it, and sill
ver-gray poplin dress-Mrs. Seymour, in
fact, our artists mother who had just
comr up from the very basement ito see
how Frank was getting along"
"Here, mother" said the young man,
with an enthusiastic sparkle in his eyes,
"just see the way the sunset light
touches the topmost branches of the old
apple tree. I like the brown, subdued
gold of that tint; it somehow reminds
ma of Grace Teller's hair"
Mrs. Seymour moved little uneasily
in her chair.
eyes, it's very pretty; but it strikes
me, Frank, you are lately discovering q
good many similitudes between Miss
Teller and your pictures.
Frank laughed good humoredly.
"Well, mother, she is pref ty."
eyes, I don't deny that she's pretty
enough"
"Now, mother, what's the meaning Of
that ambiguous tone2" demanded the
young artist, pleasantly. "What have
you discovered about Miss Grace Teller
that isn't charming and womanly and
lovelya"
Crank, do you know who she is p
eyes, know that she is remarkably
pretty girl with voice that sounds ex-
actly like the low soft ripple of the little
rivulet where I used to play when was
a boy"
"Nonsense," said Mrs. Seymour,
sharply.
"Well, then, if you are not satisfied
with my description of her as she is,
would you like to know what she will
be ?"
Mrs. Seymour looked puzzled.
"Mother, I think one day she will be
my wife,"
"Frank Frank are you crazy"
sNot that I knowyo said Mr. Sey-
