The Printers Dream.

The printer sat in his Office chair !;
his boots were patched and his clothes
threadbare, while his face looked wea-
ry and worn with care. While sadly
thinking of business debts, Morpheus
slowly around him crept and before he
knew it he was sound asleep; and
sleeping, dreamed that he was dead,
from trouble and toll his spirit had fled
and not even a cow-bell tolled, for the
peaceful rest of the cowhided soul.
As he wandered among the shades
the smoke and scorching in lower
Hades he shortly observed an iron
door that cracking hung,on hinges ajar,
but the entrance was closed by q red
hotbar, and Satan himself stood peep
ing out and watching for travellers
there about, and thus to the passing
printer spoke, and with glowing voice
the echo awoke: "Come in my dear,
it will cost you nothing, and never
fear; this is the place where / cook

lSOi SuAhS, ioi IhouSh III iiAS thSg hiay
escape, they will find when dead that
it is too late; I will show you where !
melt them thin, with red hot chains
and scraps of tin, and also where l
comb their heads with broken glass
and melted lead, and if of refreshment
they think, there's boiling water for
them to drink. There's the red hot
grind-stone to grind down their noses,
and red hot rings to wear on their toes,
and if they mention they don't like
fire, l sew up their mouths with red
hot wire; and then, dear sir, you
should see them burn and cook to a
turn"
With these last words the printer
awoke and thought it all a practical
joke; but still at times so real did it
seem that he cannot believe it all a
dream and often he thinks with a
chuckle and a grin, Of the fate of those
who save their tin and never pay the
printer.-Louisville Post.

We do not know of any other two
words which express SO much, or which
contain more food for thought. Some
persons manifest disposition to hurry
over important things differently from
others; but the application of the fault
alluded to will be best and very clearly
understood by the following illustra-
ton.
Suppose person requires informa-
ton upon some subject of which he is
comparatively ignorant-the steam.
gauge for instance-and having procur-
ed book upon it, he runs it over page
after page, touching first upon this .ex-
ample, then upon that, until he arrives
at the end, when he knows nothing
whatever of the subject The first
time he undertakes to converse upon
it, or to apply its principles practically,
he discovers his ignorance, and is per-
haps put to considerable inconvenience.
All this is wholly the fault of making
haste to reach the end, without grasp
ing the fundamental principle, and mas
tering every little detail before going
further.
It's absurd to suppose that any matter
worthy of our study can be mastered
in mere cursory examination, yet
there are individuals who relinquish the
pursuit of knowledge from this very
cause. Finding it impossible to COM
prehend in fifteen minutes some point
it has perhaps taken another as many
days, weeks, probably to settle, they
deem the matter beyond their compre-
hension, and throw up the study, never
to return to it.
There may be, and no doubt there
are, some gifted spirits to whom the
knotty points of new theory or the
intricacies Of an unfamiliar science are
plain and Ineligible at first sight, but
the mass acquire knowledge only by
patient Flooding and unremittine
study.

A FRAGMENT.

Gems were flashing, eyes were shining.
Fans with dangerous grace wore swaysd.
Twas 90 likea fairy vision
That you looked on half afraid.
But when music crashed and quivsrsd.
And the singers voice, so sweet,
Rang up TO the gilded rafteIs,
Flowers falling at her feet.
Then you leaned in silence forward,
Curved, ripe red lips apart,
All your loose gold hair a-quiyer
With the throbbing Of your heart.
Cheeks snow-whits thtn flaming hotly,
Lustroas, starry eyes ashine,
Little, warm, white fingers shyly
Creeping, trembling, into mine.
Not lady there, that night, dear
Clad in clouds Of perfumed laeo.
But would give her rarest jewels
For the glory OF your face.
Well, twas only your first opera,
And no wonder that your heart,
Bowling down, should throb and culver
At the master-touch of art

4 HOUSEHOLD HINT.-Children Will
wear holes through the heels and knees
of their stockings almost the first time
they put them on. If before the stock
ings are worn the heels, toes and knees,
are run on the wrong side with yarn
the same color, catching the threads
lightly, so that the right side of the
stocking will not be marred, it will
strengthen them greatly. When stock
ings become worn 50 that they cannot be
darned without looking rough and un-
even, the best way to mend them is to
knit over the hole. Pick up the stitch
es and knit on two needles apiece, match
ing the stocking as nearly as possible,
large enough to cover the worn place,
sew it down on the remaining sides. and
when pressed it will show very little.
The heels may be mended in the same
way. making a separate piece and sew
ing it over the old part. In knitting
stockings it is a good plan to make the
heel ard toe of heavier yarn than the
rest of the stocking, or to knit a heavy
cotton thread the same color as the
yarn, with the yarn. In mending stock
ings in more than most anything else
does the old adage hold true, "a stitch
IN time saves nlne."

place of a hot-bed, where it is difficult

worth while for him to make one for the
sole purpose of supplying his own garden
with plants 1t is better to buy few
needed plants, or better still, raise them
in winter boxes. We have often refer
red to these, but their utility does not
seem to be generally appreciated. They
allow one to provide all the plants of

IN a sunny kitchen window. When the
plants show the rough leaves. 1. e., the
leaves that follow the seed-leaves, they
are TO be transplanted to other boxes

SoTND-PRODUCINe ANTs.-D. NJ.
Lewis. writing to Nature, says with
reference to the question whether ants
produce sounds which are OF such a
pitch as to he inaHdible to the human
ear, I should like.to make a suggestion
which occurs to me. but which l have
no means of carrying out practically. It
is a well-knOwn acoustical fact that two
notes of high pitch sounding together
produce a third whose vibraSiOnal num-
Ter is the difference of the YibTational
numbers of the two primary notes. If
now we suppose a vibration at the rate
of, say $4,000 per second, another at the
rate of IS, 600 per second would give g.
different note of p, ESQ per second,
which would be we'll within the range
of audibilHy. If then we send up note
beyond the extreme limit of audibihty,
we shall be able to detect the presence
of vibrations which exceed that of the
note sent up by the highest number of
vibrations of audible sound. 1t would
be interesting to know if this has been
attemDted, and If the micrOphoae can

How SIvER THDIBLES ARE MADE,
The manufacture of silver thimbles
is very simple, but singularly interest
ing. Coin silver is mostly used, and is
obtained by purchasing coin dollars.
The first operation strikes a novice as
almost wicked, for 1T is nothing more
than putting bright silver dollars into a
dirty crucible and melting them up into
solid ingots. These are rolled into the
required thickness, and cut by a stamp
into circular pieces of the required size.

HOW JURORS ARE DRAWN.

The following taken from an e1-
change, explains how jurors are drawn
The modus operandi of securing jurors
is not understood by every one. The pre-
siding Judge every year orders 50 many
names placed in the wheel as in his
judgement will suffice for the courts to
be held during the ensuing year. The
system of drawing these names is as
follows When jurors are required the
clerk of the court sends to the sheriff an
order directing him to draw certain
number of jurors-the order is called
yenire. AS soon as received by the
sheriff it is registered in book for that
purpose and is sent to the clerk Of the
jury board, who prepares his book TO re-
ceive the requisite number Of names
when drawn, At a time when 1t is con-
venient for the jury commission. con-
sisting of the sheriff and jury commits
sioners, the wheel is opened and the
names drawn out separately and duly re-
corded. The first twenty-four names
drawn each term are designated as
ssgrand Jurors After the drawing is
concluded, the clerk sends to the sheriff
a duly certified list of the names drawn,
with the residence and occupation OF the
Juror. This list is the sheriff's guide
from which he makes out notices for
jurors. 1t becomes the duty of the Offl-
Ger charged with the service Of the no
tice to find the juror, no matter where
he whether at the address given or
at any other. After proper effort has
been made to find the juror the officer
returns to the sheriff all the. notices he
has been unable to serve and a statement
of those served, and the sheriff then pre-
pares his answer to the VeniTe and affix-
ing it thereto returns it to the court
clerk. who uses the list for his roll. It
win be seen by this statement that the
list is a complete one, and absolutely
free fronc any chance of fraud.
An idea is 30 a certain extent prevail
ent that the sheriff has the power to ex-
cuse jurors, but this is wholly erroneous
that power being in the court alone. If
jurors fail to attend at the time named,
the court may impose a fine and issue an
attachment for the arrest of the juror
and his production in court. A great
majority of Che jurors summoned serve !;
some are excused. Deafness, ignorance
of our language, physical inability to sit
and other ailments are good excuses
Doctors, surgeons and apOthecaries are
excusable under a statute passed in the
reign of Henry VIII. 1616), and now
in force. Attorneys and other officers
of the court are exempt, but to secure
this privilege one must comply with Ger
tain stringent requirements of the law
JuroTssare under no circumstances eX-
cused on account of business engage
ments, the judges having taken a firm
stand on that point, desiring the services
in the courts of just that character Of
men. The pay of a juror is 3 per day.

A SIMPLE CURE FOR SMALLPOX.

A SIMPLE CURE FOR SMALL-POX.-
AS the prevention or cure of this dis
ease is a question that concerns every
person, we ask the peTusal of the follow
ing. which is taken from the New York
Journal Of Commerce, one of the most
conservative and realiable dailies pub
lished in this State.
a lady, the mother of six children.
had often sought relief for pains in the
back by taking saltpetre and brandy.
She was exposed to the smallpox, and
contracted the disease. The Fremont
tory symptoms were violent, fever very
high, severe pain in the head and excru-
ciating pain in the region of the kidney.
a physician was then called during
the night. but in doubt as to the nature
of the disease, though suspecting it to
be smallpox, he made no prescription,
promising to call early next morning.
The fever and pain increasif Il she asked
her husband to prepare fOr her the old
prescription of saltpetre nd brandy.
The brandy was not to be bad, but he
crushed a piece of sdltpetre as large as a
common white bean, This she took in
a teaspOonful of cold water, Feeling
better the dose was once or twice re-
peated. Pain soou subsided aud she
slept well during the remainder of the
night and awakened feeling perfectly
well She had sixty well defined pos
tules on her face. but they were slightly
infiamed and not at all painful. The
developments of smallpox on her entire
person were in number and appearance
in keeping with those on her face.
In due time all her children and her
husband were affected, as she had been,
by fever and pain in the head and back.
They received the same treatment with
the same favorable result. Several fam
lilies caught the disease, used the same
remedy and in every case the result was
favorable.
These facts came to us at first hand,
and the reader may rely upon them as
exact statements without exaggeration.
Here were ten to twelve cases all reliev-
ed from pain and fever in less than an
hour. The pustules were speedily de-
veloped, but were more like the disease
in its convalesceut stages than any other
period. AS TO the quantity given it was
not At all defined, but the first patient
within an hour must have taken of salt
petre the bulk of three white navy beans.
