WTHIE PINE NEWS
NOW.

Sometimes a single hour
Kings through II long lifetime,
As from n temple tower
There often falls a chime
From blessed bells, that seem
To fold in heavens dream
Our spirits round a shrine:
Hath such an hour been thine?
Sometimes-who knows whyf
One minute holds n power
That shadows every hour,
Dialed in life's sky.
A cloud that is a speek
When seen from far away
May be a storm, and wreck
The joy of every day.
Some.imes-it seems not much,
lis scarcely felt at all
Grace gives a gentle touch
To hearts for once and all,
Which in the spirits strife
May all %unnoticed b.,
And yet it r.iles a life;
Hath this e'er com to thee?
Sometimes one little word.
Whispered sweet AMI d eet.
That scarcely can be heard
Our ears will sudden meet
And all lies hours along
That whisper vibfate,
And like a wizards song.
Decide our ey'ry fate.
Sometimes a sudden look.
That falleth from some face,
Win steal into each nook
OF life, and leaves It's trace
To haunt Us to the last
Aud away ey'ry will
TIL 'oueh all the days that be.
For goodness or for il.
Hath this e'er come to thee?
Sometimes one minute folds
The hearts of all tbs years,
just like the heart that holds
The infinite in tears.
There be such u thing as this
Who know tn why, or how?
A life OF woe or bliss
Hangs ON some little pow.

A Remarkable Revolution.

The success Of the Literary RevOlu-
ton in producing a Cyclopedia, the
largest ever published in this country,
in large type, we'll printed and bound,
at the nominal cost Of SIS, seemed to
the majority Ofbook- buyers so remark
able, that the SECOND Literary Revolt
ton, which reduces the cost of IT, is
most excellent work to $40, Sc ems al
most incredible. The facts Of the case
are, however, made so evident and so
reasonable, that there can be no ques-
tioning them. We have in this Office
some of the volumes which demon
strate their superior character in every
way, AID the facts and figures which
arc published in detail in an article
elsewhere in this paper, under the title
of "a Second Literary Revolution"
show very clearly, though very sur,
prisingly, how it is possible TO make
such an extremely valuable and costly
Cyclopedia accessible to the masses at
such triAing cost.
To remove any possible ~incredulity
which might exist in the minds ofsome
that this is only a plausible scheme for
getting a large amount Of money in
small sums from a great many individ-
uals in return for books which might
never be delivered, the publishers do
not REQUIRE any payment whatever in
advance. You may, ifyou please, sim
ply send your order by postal card, and
make no payment except upon the de
livery Of the goods themselves, and af-
ter you have examined them and found
them satisfactory. Orders should be
sent to the publishers at once, in order
to secure the special terms given during
the month of August.

A SECOND LITERARY REVOLU.
TON,

The first literary revolution con,
sisted in the publication of standard
books in every department of liter
aturs at from one.third to one teeth
of their former cost.
The second literary revolution
cohsists in a still further very great
reduction (conditional) even from
the revolution prices, while, at the
same time, the average quality OF
the books will continue to be mate
rally improved.
How Can These Things Be.
To attempt an impossibility could
~Ofcourse result only in failure, and
it would be useless, in our own in
terest, or in that 6fthe many thou
sand customers who have shown us
such earnest favor, and have given
US sdch great patronage, to an.
nounCe'or promise what could not
be performed. We have dealt
frankly with our customers in Civ
Ing facts concerning costs and prof
its in the past, and we do it now, by
giving facts and figures illustrating
how We can afford to still further
reduce prices.
Facts and Figures
Please note, at the start, our apol.
ogy for not having done heretofore
what We now propose to do, and
consider
1st--We published our first book
only SO long ago as January, 1879.
Previous 10 that time we were en-.
tirely without experience in book
publishing. What knowledge we
had of'the business was gained in
newspaperpublishing, and in book
selling.
2d--We were also at that time al.
most entirely without capital. and
until so late as February, 1881, we
labOred under the difficulty of be.
ing without capital even near ad-
equate for the magnitude OF the en-.
terprise we were undertaking.
3d--Our entire scheme was in
opposition to all previous methods
of publishing and book. selling; and
from the beginning to the present.
we have had the combined bitter
opposition Of almost the entire
bOok-publishing and b~ook.selIing
classes OF the United States.
4th--Slafting thus, with a mini.
mum OF knowledge, and less capl-
Ital, and with suCh Immense opposi.
ton, we thought il hest, in the in.
terest Of both The reading public
and ourselves, that ne undertake
too little, rather than too much;
partial success would be better than
total failure. 5000
5th--lh spite Of our want of re.
sources and of experience, and in
spite Of Opposition, and with the
necessity.of organizing and train
ing our new forces, anil ~uecessaFi-
~ trymg many experiments, all o.
which no one could expect would
be uniformly successful, we bay.

from January ], 1880, to June 30,

1000, 900 volumes of standard
books. for which we have received
the considerable sum Of 500, 521.

ries and low prices impossible,
that incredibly has from the first
been the greatest obstacle to the
Literary Revolution. 1t was east.
er to make good books cheap than
it was to make people believe it
could be done. We could readily
have made prices even lower than
they have been, but for the terrible
tax we have been compelled TO pay
to this incredibly"
We have during this period, from
January l, 1880, to June 80, 1881,
paid for advertising, the large sum
of $40, 1883. This immense item
necessarily has to come out of the
profit we make on the books sold.
7th--Although our scheme origi.
inally embodied the principle Of
selling directly to the consumer,
and doing away with the exorbitant
cost of middlemen, we have not nm
dertaken to put aside the book
seller and the book agent altogeth-
err, because a large portion Of the
book-buyers of the country have
got into tho habit of looking to
them for their supplies, and if we
were to supply the wants Of such
customers at all, we were compell-
ed to do it through these ordinary
channels. But we have endeayor-
ed 10 induce or compel these mid
dlemen to work, as we have been
doing, on a more reasonably small
percentage Of profit (the immense
ly increased sales at the reduced
prices, even with the smaller com
missions, really give the book-sel-
Ter a larger net profit than he fol-
merly had.) Accordingly, we have
during this period, from January ],
1880, to June so, 1881, allowed to
the booksellers and book,agents
commissions a veraging about rs
per cent OF Our total receipts. In
other words, In addition 10 the $709.
52l.32 we have received from the
public for our books, the public has
also paid to the middlemen the
large sum Of $177,38O,33 simply for
handling these books, making the
total cost Of the books to the CON
sumer 1856, 9O1 .65.
8th--From these statements you
can readily see that If
From the total amount
which the public has
paid for cur books : $3.50, 9Ol.65
We deduct the amount
we have paid for advertising
these books : : $40, 1888
And the amount paid

handling the books $177 ,380,33

And a remainder of /: $568, G42.39
Thus 1t is evident that il the public
had bought these books directly
from US, tire unnecessary expenses
of advertising, and of paying mid
dlemen for handling them, being
avoided, the books would have cost
them only $568,642.39, being almost
SO per cent less than the 1886, sol.
IS which they have paid for them
and our net proceeds would have
been hone the less.
A Better Illustration.
Yhe above figures show clearly
the possibility of a great reduction

without diminishing our net in.
come, bat they DO not necessarily
show that it is possible for as to
manufacture and sell books at such
low prices without loss to us. As
we have never made Dretense of
publishing books from charitable
or philanthropic motives, and do
not wish our friends to think we
are doing business at a loss, we will
give a conclusive and interesting
illustration of how we can afford
these low prices. ~
Library Of Universal knowledge.
After a labor Of nearly two years
by an able corps of American writ,
ers and editors, for whose services
we have paid nearly $50, 900, we
have within the brief period of less
than ten months made electrotype
plates for the Library Of Universal
knowledge at a further cost of near
ly $4,000, making a total invest

STAGE EXPRESSIONS

The expressions used on the stage itself
in reference to stage business are numer-
ous When anything is Intentionally
omitted from the text of play it is said
to be " cut" If an actor forgets his lines,
and stops to think, he is said to stick. ;"
One who bellows his words at the top of
his voice, and tears passion to tatters, is
''spouter," "ranter" or "howler,"
and is believed to be in the habit of seat
ingsscenes. If, in addition to ranting he
INDUCES in over. elaborate elocution, he is
50 mouther." A comedian who depends
upon unnatural grimaces to evoke the
laughter of the multitude is said to "mug."
One who makes speciality of Disgusting
his face in some hideous manner is said
to ''mug up" Sometimes an actor is dis
pleased with the part allotted to him, and
revenges himself upon the manager by
'' guying = that is. making fun of his role.
" Guying" also applies to the act of intro.
ducing funny business" into part for
the purpose of making other persons on the
stage laugh. Some actors have habit of
interpolating expressions of their own in
the text. One who does that gags"
These extempore phrases often please the
audience, out as a general thing the other
members of the company think they are
simply "rot." The curtain is often called
the rag" and
