There seems TO be q mistaken idea
abroad that newspaper men publish
papers for money. This is not the
case. They are generally wealthy
bond-holders aud go into the bust
ness for the fun and honor there is in
it, and TO puff people for nothing.
So If you have job work or advertis-
ing to do, take 1t to some other town
and the publishers of your local
papers will not think anything of ii,
but will take pleasure in putting you
or your business, free, gratis, and for
nothing. They as class read the
Bible, and haye learned TO "re!urn
good for evil" and they take a pride
in encouraging homo institutions
whether these institutions encourage
them or not. s t

Ralph Waldo Emerson had returned from
Europe, had recovered his health, had mar
ried second time, had settled at Concord,
and he and had gotten over being shy with
each other; but he had not gotten on as well
with Margaret Fuller. Margaret wrote poetry,
and people laughed about it, and said she
wrote ii in fits of eNaltation, which she called
"intense times.' This gave Mr.. Emerson,
who was very simple and natural, preu-
dice against her.
One day,when visiting at his house, ex-
pressed the wish that he could know Mar
garet better.
Mrs. Emerson, who is the soul of disinter-
ested Kindness, proposed at once that Mar
garet be invited to come to their house.

That soar so light aud ustrous overhead,

Was hewn with sweat and Sigh with blood and

Mid anguish aud intolerable fears,
Nor knowing what their bleeding hands had

A ChtId's Questions.

One day l sat in a car seat on the Saugus
branch of the Eastern Road behind a pale,
careworn lady who was taking boy from
Boston to Maiden. As the little boy was of a
very inquiring mind, and everything seemed
to attract his attention, could not help
listening to some of his questions.
"What is that, auntie ?" the little boy
commenced, pointing to a stack of hay on the
marsh.
ooh, that's hay, DEAR" answered the
careworn lady.
"What is hay, auntie %
"Why, hay is hay, DEAR

g Derrick Dold," in describing "Some
Watering Place Types, i" relates the following
amusing incidents:
The gentleman, nearer the door, who
drums on the table with his fingers and softly
whistles As he waits for his beef, is another
pronounced character. He wears check
coat with watered-sillS facings and large
cluster pin of of. stones is carefully pinned
over frayed buttOn.hole on the ample
bosom of his shirt. His face is smooth and
he seems to be counting the house" with q
speculative eye as he surveys the guests.
This is the business manager treasurer, and
mammoth end man of travelling minstrel
troupe, hastily improvised in the metropolis
for barn storming among the watering places.
Speaking of actors, that couple at the end
of the room unconsciously carry their pro-
iesson on their sleeves for DAVIS to peck at.
1t is leading man and his bride, naturally
leading lady of a city theatre, on their
wedding trip. There is no mistaking the
animated and vivacious manner in which
they emerge through the l.. U. L. of the

drawing room of the Ear's castle" style in
