From the New York Sun.

FROM the New York sun.
In one of the large public libraries of
the city there is young assistant Ii
brarlan. He is tall and angular, his
countenance personifies the scholar S
pale cast of thought; there is a far awav
look in his intense black eye, his hair is
straight and hangs in shoulder tapping
locks, the veins show blue on his deli
cate temples, and his narrow frame is
covered with classical suit of black.
tie Is a nice young man, he has a nice
JOB, and the way he obtained it makes
a nice story. Months ago, when the
pangS OF poesy gave place to those OF
want, our young poet experienced a
lucid interval, aud he saw that the
darkest hour in his life was that In
dian summer evening when lie sat
down and figured how he was going TO
make living by stringing verses To his
mistress eyebrow. 1t was then the
awakening came. He marveled and
pondered while the sensCous, balmy
breezes blew through his Helicon
kissed locks, and when he had deter
mined on plan for the future il was
with blush that he recalled the du-
pllcity he was about to puC in practice
on the morrow He had long been a
frequent visitor - the treat public IL
bralias, and when ie once heard the
harassed Librarian find fault with his
arduous duties and speaking vaguely of
obtaining an assistant, life hencefor n
had but one charm for him, and that
was the asslstantship. To wriggle him
self into the good graces of the librarian
was an easy matter. He svmpathized
with him and completely won the old
mans heart one day when he traced AT
obscure quotation to Chapman's Homer.
Then the young poet began TO ask for
quaint and curious volumes, over which
he seemed to fairly gloat from his seat
in quiet corner. Any doubts the IL
brarian might have entertained for his
young friends qualifications for the as
sstantship were now dissipated and he
Immediately preached the matter to
the board of directors. That august
body at first seemed averse to engaging
a melancholy youth. all unknown to
fame, but when the librarian conhded
III a hushed whisper that the young
man was in the habit of asking for
books that no one else was ever known
10 request they were convinced he was
a genius and made the appointment.

IT Is perhaps dangerous to the welfare
OF American newspapers to publish the
fact that printers in Central America
have extraordinarily easy times. A
Panama paper announces that it is
somewhat late in publication, owing to
there having been three feast DAYS in
the week, during which no compositor
can he compelled or induced to work.
This plan of taking the world easy is
not understood III the states. 1t should
lead to natural sitting of population.
Those who wish for three holidays a
week should DRIFT southwark, while
those who prefer work and wages
should move northwest. Superfluous
holidays are not acceptable to the aver
age workman, nor very graciously ac-
cepted by him when rendered as a po-
litlcal bride. The Saturday half-holi-
day in New York state is not heard of
outside the larger cities. Not farmer
or farmers man IN the state accepts it.

very verdant looking kind of fellow got
on the train at Albany. He was solicited
by the train boy several times to buy
apples, candy, etc, but was evidently
too close-tisted.
He suddenly, however, got it into his
head that he would like to have some
apples, and asked a drummer when the
boy would be around again. The drum
mer told him that if he would pull the

Edward Gay is an artist of some note
who lives in Mt. Vernon, and he is
highly esteemed for thoroughness OF
system, his entertaining and merry dis
position, and his capabiitv for telling a
good story. His specially in painting is
landscape, but if one should ask him his
opinion of pastoral studies a scowl
would steal over his face for moment,

acknowledgement that cit was my fault"
Mr.. Gay, a few days ago, took up his
easel, Il piece of canvas stretched upon
a frame, a palette, his brushes and oils,
and went 10 large and beautiful mead
ow not 800 feet from his house, and
took up position under large apple
tree. He had sketched the outline of
the pretty picture before him, had put
on the groundwork and had brushed in
a part of the grass on his canvas when
luncheon time came. The sky was
Cloudless, hence there was no fear of a
tornado, and as it was too late in the
year for thunder storm, he concluded
that his apparatus would be safe enough
where they were, but 1t was a luck
less conclusion. When he returned
from luncheon great Ayrshire
cow stood under the tree with
both feet planted on the canvas. She
had licked off al of the paint repre-
sentng the green meadow, had chewed
the leather-seated stool, and was about
swallowing a long leather strap with
which Mr.. Gay bundled everything
together. When the artist attempted
to protest against this wanton assump-
ton of a strange cow she became belli,
