Quaker Printers Proverbs.

Never send an article for publ
cation without giving the editor
thy name, for thy name oftcntimcs
secures the publication to worth
less articles.
Thou shouldst not rap at the
door ola printing Office; for he
that answcroth the rap sneeroth
in his sleeve and loseth time.
Never do thou loaf about, nor
knock down type, or the boys will
love thee as they do the shade trees
when thou leavest.
Thou shouldst never read the
copy on the printers cases or tho
sharp and hooked container there
Of, or he may knock thee down.
Never inquire of the editor for
the news, for behold it is his busi-
ness to give to you at the appoint
ed timc without asking for it.
1t is not right that thou shouldst
ask him who is the author OF an
article, for it is his duty to keep
such things unto himself.
When thou dost enter his office,
take heed unto thyself that thou
dost not look at what concerns thcc
not, for that is not meet in tho
sight of good breeding.
Neither examine thou the proof.
sheet, for it is not ready to meet
thine eye that thou mayest UNDER
stand.
Thou shouldst not delude thy
self with the thought that thou
hast saved q few cents when thou
hast secured a dead-head copy of
his paper, for while tho printer
may smile and say it's all right,
he'll never forget thy meanncss.

THE SICK ARTIST.

We kept boarding house, NIFTY
andI. 10 be sure, people said it
was a shame that Mr.. Fontain's
daughters should stoop so low in
life as to deal out their hospitality
for money. But Mittic said-and
Mittic has a great deal of common
scnse-that we must live, and all
the gcnteel company that came to
visit us wouldn't put so much as a
penny in our pockets towards coal
and taxes.
Mrs. Hall, who lived next door
to us, said she knew we would
make it pay. No one but an ex-
perienced housckocper could make
it pay. Miss Cynthia Caldwell
thought that it would have been
much nicer and more select to do
fine sewing, or get n place rs
governess, or something Of that
sort, which wouldn't have been so
public.
Old Fernleaf said his daughters
shouldn't visit us, DR.. Millet look
ed the other way when he brought
his fashionable new bride to town
and met NIFTY on the street.
"Dear me-" said NIFTY, laughing,
"wlat n queer world this is!'
But I was angry enough to cry.
"No matter, NIFTY, said I we'll
teach them that We can be quite
independent without them"
Well, as time went on, We had
several boardcrs. Old Mr.. Petit
grew and his niece Clarissa, who
gave lessons in wax flowers and
water-color paintings. Our rooms
were full, all except the little one
over the wing. "Kate," said NIFTY,
triumphantly, I'VE are making
money money. I put eleven
pounds in the savings bank to-day,
over and above all expenses for the
past month"
l dare say Mrs. Hall saves more
than that" said I.
II think very likely" said NIFTY.
"Only, you see, Mrs. Hall does
everything on q grandcr scale than
we can pretend to keep up with"
"Wc do our own marketing,
wash and iron our own table linen,
and sift the ashes on the sly, while
Miss Henrietta Hall is practicing
The Maiden's Prayer OH the
piano.
"But then, observed I, 1--WE are
not such fine ladies rs Mrs. Hall
and Miss Henrietta. We are two
poor little old maids, who are
obliged to earn our own living"
"Kate, you arc not an old Maid"
Indignantly cried out NIFTY.
"And you are as fresh as n rose
bud beside Henrietta Hail." said l,
patting her cheek. "Do you know"
pattins her cheek. "Do YOU know,
dear, l think hard work agrees
with both Of u.s."
So things went on, until one
summer evening VIC were out on
our steps, when there was quite n
commotion'in the carpetod hall of
our ncighbor, Mr.. Hall.
"Of course lo must 60" Mrs.
Halls voice shrilly announced.
at was great imposition on me
that he should ever come here. l
supposed he was an author or II
lawyer, or some gentecl occupation,
and now you SEQ he is nothing but
a painter. A common painter"
"An artist, ma'am," suggested
Mr.. Birdseyc.
Sand where's the difference, !
should like to know?' sputtercd
Mrs. Hall. "Except that one has
at least daily wages to depend upon
and tho other hasn't. And now
here ho is down with scarlet fever
or smallpox, or some such hideous
ailmcnt, and"
"only malignant form ofinter-
mittent fever, MAN," again mcckly
put in Mr.. Birdseye.

MIDNIGHT MURDER.


The night was dark, but lightning flashed
To radiats the skies;
The thunder pealed on peal afar,
The ocean means and signs.

As on my couch lay;
With bleeding wounds and aching heart,
And from friends far away.
An awful chill came o'cs ME,
Upon my feet | flew,
And swearing on him vengeance,
Ny dagger out drew.
! leaped and plunged it through his heart,
fle never sighed once more;
And struggling there brea,hless corpse, .

democratic party enlisted IN larger numbers

The wife of United States Senator David
Davis, of this states, died on Monday at Stock
bridge, Mass. Her health had been poorly
for some time and in the spring she went to
the seaside in Massachusetts to spend the sum-
mer months. Though occasionally rallying,
she continued to fail and few weeks ago she
was taken to the home of her sister, Mrs. DIR.
Walker, at Stockbridge, where she died. Her
husband had been with her for the last month
or more, and a week before her death tele-
graphed for her children, Geo. Perrin Davis,
of Bloomington, and Mrs. Swayne of Toledo,
who were also by her side at her death. She
was the daughter of Judge Walker, of Lenox,
Mass, with whom David Davis when young
man studied law. She was the mother OF
seven children, of whom but two survive She
was woman of infinite kindness of heart and
of superior mental capacity and requirements
and IN Bloomington no woman was more uni

childhood to manhood, is as well known as
the acts of any man can be, who has been be-

has assisted that estimable and distinguished
gentleman in the county treasurer's office. Be
ing so thoroughly well known, he came to La
Sale and Peru previous to the election, and, as
was to be expected, he exerted the influence
he possessed among the friends of his early
days-those who when boys were his school

healthy trees are never infested with borers
The blood must become vitlated before the

Gov. Cullom echoes Hayes's call on the peo-
pie to observe Nov. eth as day of thanks
that we have emerged from the dark shadow
of financial distress that followed as result
of the great war of the rebellion" AS the
distress" never came until some eight years
after the war was over, the cause assigned
seems somewhat remote. The Governor would
have come vastly nearer the truth If he had at
tributed SAID distress" to the bungling finan-
ciaI legislation of congress
