Type Writing.

The copying of legal and other docu-

rapidly coming into prominence as a
renumcrative occupation for women
The work is peculiarly adapted to their
capabilities, as it demands instead of
physical strength, simply rapid, delicate
like that required for skillful piano play
ing. Expert manipulators of the machine
can often earn from $40 to SIP per day,
and sometimes more. No preliminary
education is required, except to the ca
pacity to spell rapidly and well, though
the efficiency of the typewriter is much
increased by knowledge of steno-
graphy.

Hasty Judgment.

Nothing is more unjust than to
Judge of a man by too short an ac-
quaintance and too slight inspection;
for i often happens that in the
loose AMI thoughtless and disap-
pated there is a secret radical worth
which may shoot out by proper
cultivation; that the spark OF
Heaven, though dimmed and OBJ
.strncted, is vet not extinguished,
but may, by breath Of counsel and
exhortation, be kindled into flame.
To imagine that everyone who is
mot completely good is irrevoeably
abandoned is to suppose that all are
capable of the same degree Of ex-
scellence. 1t is, indeed, to exact from
all that perfection which none can
ever attain And since the purest
Virtue is consistent with some vice,
and virtue of the greatest number
with almost an equal proportion of
contrary qualities, let none too
hastily conclude that all goodness is
lost. though it may for q time be
IcIouded and overwhelmed; for most
minds are the slaves of external cir
cumstances and conform to any
hand that undertakes to mould
them, roll down any torrent Of Gus
tom in which they happen to be
caught, or bend to any importantly
that bears hard against them.

Where Slate Pencils Come From.

Anyone who has children and
who about forty times during a
term hears complaints about slate
pencils, their breaking or loss, will
perhaps be glad to know that the
supply is just about inexhaustible.
There is not the slightest danger
that the world will ever want for
slate pencils. The hard black Ger
man ones have been superseded of
late years by the round white one
of clay slate. At the quarry near
Castleton, Vt, about thirty five
workmen produce 10000 pencils
daily, and it is proposed to increase
the daily output to 100000, The
blocks when quarried are sawed into
pieces seven by twelve inches, split
to thickness Of half inch anC
smoothed by planer. The block
is passed under semi-eireulal
knife, and after having been ttlrnec
over, the process is repeated Th,
result is fifty seven-ineh pencils. a
particle of quartz nthe block woul(
break all the pencils. They ar
pointed by grindstone, turned
assaptad and sent t0 market II

Romance AS 1t Is.

ray of a July sun the gelvet-soft
lawn that stretches away to the
East ward in front OF lovely DuPage

stands girl, lovely beyond com
pare, to whom a man-one whose
sunny locks and beard Of tawny
gold hue tell plainly of the Saxon
blood that flows in his veins--is
talHingin an earnest manner. There
is a loving look in his soft, blue eyes,
and he speaks with tenderearnest-
ness that shows he is trying to get
there. The girl is tapping lightly
with croquet-mallet the pretty
foot that peeps out half timidly
from beneath the pretty morning
dress of soft, blue cloth, with two
rows of ruffies up the back stretch,
and polonaise that never cost less
than S22.
"Well, Bertrace, have you con
cluded to shake me?" says the man.
The sunbeams flicker erratically
down between the leaves, making
little lights and shades on the YER
anda; the grasshoppers sing among
the red clovers; the little foot, which
has suspended its movements dur
ing the delivery of this interrogation,
resumes its occupation Adelbert's
gaze is still fastened upon the pretty
face that looks shyly dewns but tbs
smile has fled.
No answer comes.
A moment longer and the foot
taps cease; one or two irresolute
movements of the body, and then
the white arms cleaning out from
the loose sleeves, are around his
neck. and the brown locks anc
golden beard are mingled, while the
