The frequent arrival OF steam launch es and of pri
yate yachts at Mount Vernon, bringing parties who
land without being willing TO pay the usual charge
has convinced the ladies OF the Mount Vernon Asso-
citation, who have Just closed their annual council
that some misapprehension must exist in the mind
OF the public, and they therefore publish the follow
ing notice, hoping that will protect the Association
from further Infringement OF fits rights:

Whereas no boat except the steamer W. w. COR
CORAN, which holds an exclusive contract with the

ONLY A MEMORY.

God knows | believed that you loved me,

With one milky white star hung above me,
A faint little glimmering spark;

l remember the words that you uttered

And yet with the thought that you loved me
Ny cheek caught the ssft, scarlet stain
Ofthe sweet, happy shame OF the woman
Who loYes aud is loved back again.
And my brown head was bashfnlly ben ling
Till almost it lay on my breast;
The world slipped away from my vision

Aud when you were gone and the moonlight
Rose softy and late DER the scene
And dripped through the leaves its fair silver
In shimmering waves through the green.
Iknelt in that dim dewy garden
In happy Thanksgiving and prayer,
With the bloom of that white oleander
Like a down-fallen star in my hair.
You came, and my color carle dashing--
You went was listess and pale;
You smiled, and my glad eyes were flashing
You sighed, and my laugh was a wall,
My life to your mood was mirror
IGod pity such mirrors us these!
My heart was deep-thrill1ug organ
Your love was the hand on the keys.
Ali dear, you were sure that lOYed you,
Although said never word;
Why, the wild heart that beat in my bosom
A child could have listened and heard.
And you said, laughing low, do you fancy

An anguish Of lingering pain.

PRINTING OFFICE SECRETS.

The Singleton IN. S, W,) Argus prints
the following reply to an inquiry as to
the author of an article in that paper:
A properly conducted printing Office is
as much secret as Masonic Lodge.
The printers are not under oath or secre-
sy, but always feel themselves as truly
and honor bound to keep office secrets as
though triple oathed. Any employee
in printing Office who willingly disre
garded this rule in relation to printing
Office secrets, would not only be scorned
by his brethren of the craft, but would
Jose his position at once. We make this
statement because it sometimes happens
that communication appears in a news
paper under an assumed signature,
which excites comment, aud people try
to find out who is the author. Let all
be saved the trouble Of questioning the
employees of the printing offices. They
are "know nothings'' on such points as
these. On such matters they have eyes
and ears, but no mouth, aud if any fail
TO observe this rule, let them be put
down as dishonorabIe members of the
craft 1t is the same in job printing. i
anything is to beprinted and kept secret
let proper notice'of the desire Of secresy
be given, and you might as well ques
tion the Spinx as one Of the printers.

THE PROOF READER.

Blunderbus, in the Saturday Review.
"Papa, who IS that sorrowful looking
man we met ?"
"He is proof reader on morning
newspaper, my son."
"WelI, should think he would be
very happy, reading all the news and
pretty stories. Why does he look SO
miserable?"
"There's where you're off, my son.
Happy, indeed He has cause to look
miserable I'll tell you. He is an asy-
lum for feeble minded people who imag-
inc they were sent into the world to en-
hghten it through the columns Of the
newspapers, He Is Kindergarten for
yeaIy young men and cranky old fellows
who think the newspaper world would
cease to exist should they fail TO contrib.
ute to its support from their storehouse
of general knowledge, brilliant ideas and
classic lore. He is also hothouse for
the propagation Of young compositors.
He is expected to know the name, nativ-
ity, date of birth, and death, If every
body, from constable to president, and
all the officials and dign1taries of the
world, especially in Russia, Turkey, Chi
ma and Japan-.which he does not know
by large majority. Some innocent peo-
pile are under the impression that writer's
prepare their manuscript correctly, as
the articles appear Not SO, my son. In
many cases, If an article should appear
as written, the author would refuse to
father it, aud never make another effort.
But they must be encouraged, and so
their productions are trimmed up in the
Office and made presentable.
ssThele are great variety of contribu-
tors to newspapers. First, there is the
classical writer. He is always on the
lookout for obsolete and uncommon
words and phrases, never beard Of, or
seen except in the most complete una
bridged dictionaries When he has col
lected numi er Of such words, he goes
to work and writes an article around
thern-that is, adapts the subject to the
words. He can't write ahalf column ar
ticle without Introducing the names Of a
lot Of old mummies, who were petriied
1000 years before the advent OF the Saw
ior, whether they be germaneto the sub
icct or not. He provides himself with
biographical dictionaries, with the names
professions and achievements Of the old
fellows, all classified and arranged, and
turns himself loose on them. II he fails
to spell them correctly in copying them
it is all right, for be knows the proof
reader is bound to look them up and ge
them right in the paper or lose his job
He may write it Johaunis Schneider
