the performance of the holy sacrament
that made the above twain one, and set
them apart from all the rest OF the

flush other earlier blooming womanhood,
looked in her pure, white dress like a
sweet blush rose newly opened, with the
dew still glis,ening on its petals. That
there was no foreOoding of evil wrapped
up in the mystery of the days to come

The compOsitOr who "ssts" up the
educational column, as a general rule,
places every type with mathematical
precision. In fact, he is a mathema-
tician in the strictest sense of the term.
He works, plays, eats. sleeps, awakes,
walks, talks and drinks with prompt
ness and correctness not exhibited
even by Eck's clock at the drug store,
and as a consequence, everything is,
or should be mathematics which comes
under his observation. That he made
the types say the "herO in VirgiPs
Euclid is inquiring the safe way To
reach the temple Of Carthage" he sim
ply suPposes him to be a student of
mathematics, and placed him in the
Esclid instead Of the Eneid, where
Judge Hawkins says he properly be-
longs. IT'S probable the Judge is cor
rect, but yet there is room for doubt
and perplexing problem for mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation to determine wheth-
er Virgil, tho Judge, or the typo were
at fault. If he had been a love-sick
poet, he would have been the hero in
the Eneid, and would not have cared
a continental whether he ever reached
Carthage or not; whereas, had he
been hero in the 6eld of mathematics,
he properly belongs in the Euclid, and
naturally enough made enquiries with
the foresight Of a student, determined
to see his way clear before he sets out
upon an uncertain and dangerous road.
If such be the case, the Judge was
wrong, and the printer justi6able in
changing copy and placing Euclid"
where the Judge had written "Eneid. "
We hope the Judge will pardon US
for writing the above |; but in justi6-
cation of the "typo," who, by the way
is our sweetheart, We could not help
it, as he told US the Judge was much
vexed, and threatened 10 hand the
next copy to the devil" to be put in
type. We are anxious the Judge will
make his enquiries with . mathemati-
cal skill that will not have . shadow
of doubt Is to the road he will have to
travel, or the time It will be necessary
to CONSUME, to make the journey to
where he can deliver his copy to that
