The foregoing item, which has ap-
Peared IN a country paper published at
Sidney, o., is another evidence of the
vindictiveness of some publishers where
the cooperative papers affect their re-
ceipts for advertising and subscription.
Section Z of the Postal Law, approved
June p, 1874, says: ''That newspapers,
one copy to each actual subscriber, re-
siding within the county where the
same are printed, in whole or in
part, and published, shall 90 free

not be delivered at l~etter-carrier offices
or distributed by carriers unless postage

The Office Boy.

Is the Office boy idle?
No, he is not idle; he is frantically in
dustrious; he is killing himself with hard
work.
Will it take him long?
Unfortunately, yes; he is very tough.
What is he doing now?
Rather ask, what is he not doing? He
has the faculty of doing so many useful
things at the same time that it is i'm
possible to guess what he may not be at.
He is probably at this moment engaged
n sweeping out, busting, tidying up the
several rooms, going on a few score of
errands and quietly awaiting opportuni-
ties to be useful.
Does the office boy Eve make any un-
necessary noise?
Oh. dear, no; he never whistles or
plays the devils hornpipe on his desk
with his lily-white fingers; he was v
known to raise his voice in unseemly
bellowings No, my dear sir, you have
been misinformed.
Is the Office boy ever rude or discour-
teous?
Not a bit of it. He is courtesy itself.
His bumps of veneration and reverence
"OVCl Ills CAtllc uedu. lie looks uD to
his employer as to a superior being. He
would sooner go without his meals for a
week than once to omit the ''sir' afte1
yes and no., or to forget to return thanks
for the smallest favor.
Then you think the Office boy il not
to be improved?
Assuredly not. 1t would be like at
tempting to paint the lily or gild re-
fined gold. No, sir; the office boy is the
n perfect thing in nature.
Do you love the Office boy?
Consumedly. Without him life were
unlivable. The thought of having to
part from him is the only shadow that
darkens the way to the silent tomb.
DO you know where he is now?
All. now you ask something that no.
body can answer. ] only know that he
is not in the Office. He is SO eonscien-
tious, you know. He absents himself,
fearing that ne may disturb somebody
or be in somebody's way. But he never
is in the way. o., no. John! / say:
