TALAAGE ON NEWSPAPERS.
A Good Newspaper Ged's Grapaesf
Temporal Rlessing.

From Rev. Or. Tainage's Sunday Sei1aou.
| tell you, my friends, that o good
newspaper is tho grandest blessing that
God has gwen to the people of this
countryside grandest temporal blessing.
The theory is abroad that anybody can
make newspaper with the aid of .
capitalist. The fact is that fortunes arc
swallowed up every year in the vain Of.
fort to establish newspapers. The large
papers swallow up the small ones. The
big whale eats up about fifty minnows.
We have 1000 dsiliss and weeklies ia the
United States and canadas, and only
thirty-six are half century old. r6h
average life Of . newspaper is five years.
Most of them die of cholera infantum.
Laughter] It's abont high ti,ae that
the most successful way to sink a for
tune and keep it sunk is to start a news
paper. A man with an idea starts the
Universal Gazette or the Millennium Al
vocate. Finally the money is all spent
and the subscribers wonder why their
papers do not come. laughter Let
me tell you that if you have an idea

you had better charge on the world

Success in Printing
Type World


No one in these days Of progress in
the Art Preservativen can reasonably
expect to succeed who does not under
stand the details, and who does not de-
vote his entire energies to his profession.
Printing to-day is indeed an art. and
one which to acquire, no matter how
apt the scholar, requires application
earnest and amending. Such men as
De Winnie, Haight, Kelly and Others
whose master hands rest on the topmost
round, have attained the position only
ny making printing the ruling idea of
their lives. The boy who would sue
coed must put his whole soul into 1.-THE
must study as well as work, and while
hands perform, brains must plan tasks
more difficult and perfect. His studies
should be the masterpieces OF his supe-
riors; and his searches after the mysteri-
es and details should be persevering and
persistent. Never get the idea that you
know it all, but let no day pass without
adding something to what you have al
ready learned about your own business.
Learn from books, learn from your
fellow workman, learn from experience,
learn from any and every available
source, but learn, and success is as sure
to follow as the day to dawn,

at the girls: II knew young lady who
got into her little brothers pantaloons
one evening and stole into neighbours
where there was another young lady,
who dressed herself in her big broth

pering and giggling and tiptoeing and
peeping around the front door, to see
whether the coast was clear, they stuck
cigar between their lips and marched
boldly down the village street, past the
postotfice lounging corner, where the
big brother ofthe one young lady stood
with dozen other young bucks who
were posted on the fun in store for the
girls by the little brother Of the other
miss in pantaloops. The Young fellows
didn't want to make the fun too rough.
SO they waited quietly until the panta
loon team approached, when one Of the
boys-the real boys, / mean-stepped
forward, and holding out his blazing
cigar, said, politely: 'Ah, strangers,
won't you have light? One of the

CuriOus COuecfIOn.

A curious medley is to be seen in
the property room at the police sta
ton, to which additions are made
nearly every day. In one corner lies
all the household goods Of a poor old
woman who died at the poorhouse a
short time ago. Tin pans, buckets,
CroOkery, and clothing; pots, table
cloths, knives and forks, and half
finished embroidery; a monkey
wrench, a pot hook and a pair Of half
finished socks. with the needles still
in them, are all piled up together.
The old lady who owned them was
once mistress Of a happy household in
the Northern part of Mississippi; but
misfortunes overlook her, and she
broke up and started for Virginia,
where she had relatives. Here her
money and health gave entirely out,
and she was sent to the poorhouse,
where she shortly afterward died, as
above stated.
An old sabre ornaments the mantel-
piece, and a couple of army musketf
lean against the wall on either side; a
trunk full of old pistols, knives stained
with human blood, quantities of stolen
under clothing, v%alises, trunks and
satchels of the same, go to form the
medley.
Hundreds Of things are to be seen,
taken from suspicious characters
tagged and fled away, which have
never been claimed. and are now
hardly worth it. The reader of ser.
mons in stones could moralize fol
hours over the myriad Of articles t
be seen.
