signed 1ur yer paper, an paid the
money. but ef that's the way yer're
goin tN carry on, gimme my money
and take yer ole paper" and the old
man drew out a copy of the great
journal and threw it on the table.
The editor could not, just at that time.
refund the money, but he would re-
member the amount and pay it when
an opportunity presented itself. The
old man, not altogether satisfied, with
drew, and the editor, turning to the
printer, said:
That old fellow is crank If he
desires to gs on his career of ignor-
ancc, all right"
"He don't amount to anything" re-
piled the printer, taking up handful
of type, striking it on the stone and
proceeding to distribute it in a bat
tered old case.
What article is that you are tearing
DOWN." Q
Blackstone.
'It is pity to tear anything down
so soon, but 90 ahead. Come in as
some one raped timidly on the door.

my pap was here just now," she
said, land wanted you to stop the
paper. have begged him not to. for
thar mout be something in it after
awhile. He lowed that | mout do as |
pleased, an | want yer ter send it on. -
''How can such lips be so ungram-
maticalP' mused the editor, and then,
with manner embodying all the
courtesy he could summon, he
brought a chair for the girl and begged
her to sit down. Pap tole me ter tell

What n beautiful girl" said the
editor, but my stars, how ignorant. A
father who would not send a child to
school, and especially such a child as
this, is unworthy of respect"
That's what he is, said the old
printer
Tell you what am half inclined to
do-write something that | think will
interest that girl. The older people of
this community have gone beyond re-
call, but the young can be gradually
led into desire to know something" :"
That's what they can," replied the
old printer.
IAN old man might argue for years
with me, and ! would not yield an
inch; but when n beautiful girl, with
sunny eyes, springtime mouth, and a
mingled complexion of lily and rose,

old printer.
"Now, wouldn't you really advise me
to drop the heavy books OF logic, and,
for no one else, take up the breezy vol

That's what l would" acquicsced
the old printer.
Mr. Anderson Pickley thanked the
old man for his kind cooperation, and
vowed that if to be light
meant success, the doors of prosperity,
if not of fame, should open unto him.

interviewed a prominent citizen con-
cerning the crop prospects and the
likelihood of increased trade The

young man, who, while wa king with
young lady, fell off ii foot-log into the
creek, amused the people greatly, and
the minister, who it is to be hoped
knew more gospel than grammar, de-
clared that ii mighty nigh tickled"
him to death, lit was SO powerfully
