They parted in the middle,

A bland smile OH his visage,
And eyes Of watery black.
Who'd think so mild creature
Could ever cause alright,
And that, like birds of evil,
He'd be a "plague by night"
Yet women brave will shuader.
And strong, Erm men will quail,
When lie is seen approaching
In gloves and short coat tail.
With scores of mildest ballads
{ Wrapped in a dainty roll, zo
At sight of which an anguish ,3
Sinks into every soul.
He sings about his battles,
And songs about the moon,
With improyisea additions
Which are not in the tune.
He loves "thc sentimental" sss +.
-. Thinks he speaks pieces well !;
His high notes have a terror
Worse than an Indians yell.
Although he MARBLES, badly,
Young maidens oft applaud,
While those who long for music
Sit silent-ove
Would that Pncumonia's clutches,
Or Diphtheritic cough, =
Would seize his vocal muscles,
And kindly shut him off.

With "Ready Prints or, as they
are Familiarity termed, Patent Out

making portion of the country are
familiar. The wealth handlers, the
city people, know but little about
them except ibyshearsay. They take
the shape ola sheet printed upon
one side, which is sold at SO much
the hundred to. editors Of country
newspapers and used by them to
distribute local news. Large pub.
fishing houses. in the North and
West are engaged in preparing these
ready prints, aud it isSto their credit
that their. labor is uniformly. we'll
done, and attractive. Manufacture
ing by Wholesale these outside pages
of country weeklies, the publisher
can afford to do the work at cheap
rates, and thus enable the country
editor to place attractive and other
wise unattainable reading matter be-
fore the eyes of his patrons. An
other method of obtaining, practi-
cally, the same result, is by the use
of stereotyped printed matter. The
type matter instead of being printed
of upon paper, is stereotypcd,. and
the stereotypcs are sent to tue coun-.
try editors, TO be used along with
type set in the office, and is paid for
at regular rate, a reasonable reduc
ton being made for the return of the
stereotype metal after it has been
made use of. The reduction about
covers the cost of the freightage be.
tween the points of manufacture and
of use, and by this arrangement the
country editor gets the greater por-
ton of his paper printed at cost
considerably less than were he to
have all his ''copy" set up in his
own office.
The greut drawback TO the system
is the difference observable between
the print and substance of the out
side, or patent portion Of the paper,
AID that of the inside or homemade
portion. The one is solid, we'll Sc
lected, clearly printed matter, which
excites the admiration of the read
er; the other is muddy, generally H.
legible, the type being s'off its feet"
to use printers term, and is made
up of odds and ends of little Interest
to anybody, and thrown into the pa
per in a way which is a disgrace 10

Notwithstanding this conceded
fault, there are not wanting persons
to praise the system, and doubtless
it has its merits also. The late Lou

the subject at considerable length,
