An Old-Time Printer,

much. They are still the honest and

In darkness more blacker than Erebus.
1t is the greatest calling on earth
The printer works hard. He spends
freely. Printers can turn their hands
to almost anything. Good printersar are
naturally smart and Of keen discern
ment. A printer who would set up
multum in parvo to read mutton in
pork, as once saw it done, is no good
on earth. Just look at the different
kinds of handwriting a printer sets
from every night upon large daily
paper If he has thirty takes"
Takes what ?" I innocently in
quired.
"He takes nothing. Takes are diff
ferent kinds of copy. Say he has
thirty takes night. That means
thirty kinds of handwriting, or nearly
so. Some takes may be as plain as
daylight, but others look as if the
writer had written the article with his
teeth and sent farm harrow over it
for punctuation. No, l never set type

Many Christians deeply regret the fact
that there is no authentic portrait of their
Master. Others think it better that the
world should not know the exact Inca
mentS of its Redeemer 1t is certain that
this lack of Il recognized likeness has given
opportunity for the highest artistic gent
uses to portray their conception of his an
pearanee. But the personality of the
painters, necessarily obtruding itself even
into their ideal Christs, destroys the value
of these pictures for many people. 1t
would seem, however, from Mr.. W. II. In
gersolls article in the May HARPER's
(sPOrtraits of the Saviour''1 that there
probably was a historic portrait of Jesus
known to the early Christians on which
the most ancient pictures of him were
baSed-for they all agree in the principal
characteristics, and point to a commonly
received likeness. Beginning with these
MIR. 1ngersoll traces the history of the sub.
ject down to the present. Among the
many rare illustrations perhaps the most
curious is copy of the Emerald Verni-
cle' portrait, which is supposed to be the
only true portrait of the Saviour The
original IL said TO have been carved on an
emerald for Tiberius Caesar, seized by the
