The Printer Did It.


 A well known Australian writer, very bad penman, in mentioning the name of . certain lady in an article, said she was "re~ nowned for her graciousness and charity" :" For "eharity" the compositor read 'schasti- ty." The author on seeing proof, recognized at once that there was an error, but, unable to remember the word he had used in place of "chastity," marked the proof with what is called "query," @, to refer the printer to his MS. When the article appeared, the writer, who had intended to pay pretty compliment to the lady was surprised to hnd that she was renowned for her graciousnsss and chastity O."

 HIlss Alcott's Memoirs.
 From the London News.l
 "A corrupt youth," says Jean Paul Rish- ter in his beautiful "Levana," ssmay lay down noble book, walk up. and down the room in passionate tears and sxclaim, T will reform,' and keep his word." These me- moirs of Miss Alcott belong to that class of beautiful books of which Richter is here thinking. It is easy to imagine some nature warped by selfishness, by egotism, by mean and narrowing emotions, being startled into consciousness of it's own degradation by the nobility and the courage of Miss Alcott's re- corded life, and, in the homely phrase, turning over new leaf" and resolving and doing better in the future. That sort of simple heroism which seems to have thriven in the kindly Concord air, and which anf- mates every page of the teachings of Emer- son and the splendid prose of Thoreau, breathes it's tonic and exhilarating influence over all Miss Alcott's life, and all her own honest, ingenious, womanly, and, let us add in the best sense, manly accounts of it.. It would be difficult to find anywhere the story of more unselfsh, more sweetly useful life, governed and guided by more honorable ambitions or more healthy influences. Miss Alcotts Actions have given an honest hap- piness to thousands and thousands of chil- dren and those fortunate elders who are still children in heart all over the world; her me- moirs may well accomplish an even greater task, and act as teacher, as counselor, and as encourager to many weak or weary spirit struggling against the stars in their courses. Emerson might we'll be proud of such Bet tina Richter, whom we are glad to think she loved so we'll in an age which has for the hour passed him by, would have found in her a disciple after his own heart. Higher praise than this it would be hard to give.

 According to the Register, the Rev. New man Smyth is disgusted with the timid Re- publicans of this town, who took it easy while the Democrats sowed and reaped their tares. He is quite right. There are Repub- icans in this town whom even sermon from the Center church pulpit wouldn't stir up to duty.
 No wonder the Indians are not in hurry to be civilized. According to Secretary No- ble's report, there are about 1000 Indians in the United States, and they occupy or have control of about 116,630, ,106 acres of land. That means on an average 466 acres pretty good-sizsd farfh-for every man, woman and child in the Indian tribes.
 They have an effective way of dealing with habitual drunksrds in Norway and Sweden. They put them in jail and feed them entirely on bread and wine. The bread is steeped in wine for an hour before it is served. The first day man will take 1t, but before many more he will hate the sight of it. After an incarceration of this sort many become total abstainers.

A Wonderful Pen for Amelia Riyes Chan
ler
philadelphia Press.


Mr.. Chanler expected to spend
Christmas in Paris with his bride, but
he ordered made for her in New York
what is probably the most costly pen
and inkstand in the world. The au-
thor Of "1he Quick or the Dead p
has always used a gold pen to. write
her copper-plate manuscript with, and
this has been held by big heavy pen
holder. The one ordered by Mr..
Chanler is, therefore, not too heavy
for her use, though it is made Of gold
in the likeness of quill, the pen not
being inserted, but forming the end of
the gold quill, just as the ordinary
one taken from the goose's wing does.
Around the stem of the pen are etched
delicate wreaths of laurel, and the
feather of the quill is an exquisite piece
Of goldsmith's work, each ray Of the
plume being separate and set with the
tiniest diamonds. 1t is not whit
heavier than the thick old silver
handled pen with which "Herod and
Marlane' was written, and every move
ment flashes with the brilliance "ld
the fire Of the lady's own herolnes.
The inkstand has big block for the
base, covered with gold, and the ini-
tials ga. R. c." forming monogram
in diamonds on the front, surrounded
by another laurel wreath. The ink
we'll itself is a small, old fashioned
gold casket, lined with glass, which is
carried by couple of blind Cupids,
whose bows and arrow shafts are crust
ed with little diamonds.

HE ElREMAN,S DEATH.

He slept, and DER his dauntless brow shado Of
sorrow stole,
AS though some scene Of deep distress was busy
with his soul,
Whom suddenly the dread alarm came ringing
shTin and clear,
Ceaving the night air until it struck upon his
- startled car.
He bounded up! His practiced eye
Was turned upon the lurid sky,
Lit by the flames which, mounting higher,
Soon clothed the night in robe Of fire.
With lightning speed he reached the scene-Oh!
what sight was there!
A mother stood amid the flames, and shrieked
in wild despair!
Her arms around her frightened babe was
thrown with frenzied clasp,
AS though she feared the fire-fend would tear
II from her grasp.
With helmet turned, through flame and
smoke
The gallant fellow fearless broke:
He saved them BOTH but ah! his life
: Was lost in the unequal strife.
Now m sweet Greenwood's peaceful shade the
noble hero sleeps.
And Ger his grave full many friend in silent
SORROW weeps;
a usouumcns erooVod sshcro pofnted to with
pride
By those with whom he oft has fought the fire,
side by side.
Sweet flowers exhale their fragrant breath
Where now he calmly sleeps in death,
And trees their spreading branches wave
Around his solemn Greenwood grave.

Before Mr.. Singleman could secure
his hat the door opened. and Colonel
Hogamont entered.
"Claribelle Jane, you may leave the

With beating heart she gladly left,
then glued her ear to the keyhole out
side.

Can you spare that much until to-mor-

Mr.. Singleman was happy to perform
the favor
you need not be in hurry to leave,
Thomas; my daughter appreciates your
company, and have no objections.
He left the room, and Thomas and
Gabrielle were radiant with happi-
ness. Next evening about the. same
hour the old gentleman entered and
obtained similar loan. 1t occurred
also the evening following. The next
evening a slight noise was heard up
stairs, and Mr.. Singleman grasped his
hat and left, saying:

quire of my absence tell him | took

before the old gentleman was half way

and returned to his slumber.
