People cannot help having been
born without tact any more than they

there are occasions when it is almos,
impossible to be quite charitable to Il

no tact deserve pity. They are al

or that does them an injury. They
make enemies where they des re
friends, AMI get a reputation Tor Ill
nature which they do not deserve.
They are also doing other people
harm, treading on metaphorical corns,

The Power Of Kisses:
Troy Times.


When Charles II. was making his
triumphant progress through Eng
land, certain country ladies who wei G
presented to him, instead of kissing
the royal hand, held up their pretty
lips to be kissed by the King, blum.
der no one would more willingly ex-
cuse than the lover of pretty Nell
Gwynne. Georgana, Duchess of
Dcvonshirc, gave Steele, .hc butcher,
n kiss for his vote nearly Il century
since, and another equally beautiful
woman, Jane, Duchess Of Gordon,
recruited her regiment in similar
manner. n kiss from his mother

ing kiss. The head sinks conteuted.
ly on the pillow, for all is happiness
and peace within. The bright eyes
and rosy lips close, and the little
darling is soon reveling in the bright
and sunny dreams of innocence. Yes,
kiss, mother. for that good night
kiss will ingc' in the memory when
the giver lies moldering in the grave.
The memory OF a gentle mothers kiss
has cheered many lonely wanderers
pilgrimage, and has been the beacon
light to illuminate his desoatc heart.
Lille has many a stormy billow to cross,
many rugged path to climb, and we
know not what's in store for the Little
one, SO sweetly slumbcring, with no
marring care to disturb its peaceful
dreams. The parched and fevered
lips will become dewy again as reco-
lection bears to the sufferers couch a
mothers love, mothers kiss. Then
kiss your little ones ere they sleep.
There Is magic power in that kiss
which will endure to the end of life.

THE MISTAKES OF NEWSPAPERS.

The number OF type used in an Or
binary country newspaper is about
100000; that is, the actual number of
bits of metal as arranged for each
newspaper in preparing newspaper
of that size for the press. We sup
pose few people think of the printing
trade as one of the most exact and
particular handicrafts; but it is. In
making type variations that might be
allowed in the finest machinery,
would render type useless. 1t is very
rarely that type furnished by two sep.
arate foundries can be used together
without great deal of trouble, even
though they should try to make it af-
ter the standard. We read once in a
while OF wonderful piece of cabinet
or mosaic work containing ten, twenty
or fifty thousand pieces, the maker of
which has spent months or even years
oflabor in producing it; and the peo-
pie go and see it as a CURIOSITY But
the most elaborate and carefully fitted
pieces Of work of this kind ever made
do not compare for minutencss of de-
tail and accuracy of fitting with that
which the printer does every day. The
man who does the first is looked upon
as a marvel Of skill, and il ohe hun.
dred OF his pieces are put together
wrong side up or turned around it is
not noticed in the general effect; but
ii printer, in fitting ten times as
many pieces together in day, puts
one the wrong way, everybody sees it
and are amazed at the "stupid care
lessness Of those printers"

adelphia, against the Tramp Brothers
Machine Company, Of Wilmington,
Del. The matter came up upon a mo.
ton to sol aside the service Of = writ
The company had no Office or agency in
this city, and the writ was served upon
the President while he was here upon
personal business. Judge Thayer
says "When foreign corporation
sends its officers and agents into anoth.
eg State and establishes business
there, they may all be brought within
the jurisdiction OF the courts of that
State by the service OF process upon
such officer or agent. Bat it would be
contrary to the plainest principles Of

talned over euch corporation by service

diction who happens to be IN oficor or
