HE Isl FOOL WHO TRIES.

The printing press has made presi-
dents, killed poets, furnished bustles
for beauty, and polished genius with
the sandpaper of its criticism. 1t has
made the world get up to roll call ev-
cry morning; given the pulpit lungs
of iron and a voice of steam. 1t has
set the price on bushel Of wheat,
and made the country postoffice the
glimmering goal Of the rural scribe.
1t has curtailed the power Of kings,
embelished the pantry shelves, and
bursted rings; it has exposed fraud,
brought criminals to punishment it
has furnished the whole female race
with dress patterns, it has converted
bankers into paupers, made wood saw
yers college presidents; it has edu-
Gated the homeless lad and robbed
the philosopher of his reason; it
smiles and kicks and cries and dies
but it can't be run to suit everybody,
and the editor is a fool who tries it..

NFLAMMABLE STRUCTURES.

1t is all very well for those who can
afford it to adorn their houses with
the richest and elegance of European
palaces, and decorate their walls with
works Of art the like Of which can on
ly be seen in the galleries and cas-
ties Of the old world. But one prac-
teal difficulty about it is, that where
as the art treasures Of Europe are
sheltered in proof buildings
which can be burned very slowly, if
burned at all, in this country Jet Of
flame, a Whit Of smoke, and the tons
OF water necessary so extinguish a
fire in an American structure, will
destroy the most valuable Of posses
slons in the twinkling of an eye. An
