To convince me of the pressure upon the

"Oh that's only a newspaper story" is
an expression that falls with special dis
favor upon the ears of the journalist.
1t is the voicing of sentiment that finds
its growth and development in the in
creasing recklessness of the effervescent
reporter and the laxity of the average
editor and proprietor of the daily paper.
To get the news first, and to estimate its
truth afterwards, is the dominant ideS
in modern journalism to entirely too
great degree. To such an extent has
this evil grown, that, to stamp state
ment with the taint of improbability, to
give it the cloud Of doubtfulness, it is
only necessary for 1t to appear in daily
paper Our brethren of the diurnal
press must curb their reportorial Ana
niases lest they put their papers in the
position occupied by Esop's young man

no wolf - Pittsburg Bulletin.

Our Mary had little lamb,
And her heart was most intent
To make its wool, beyond its worth,
Bring tifty.slx per cent.
But a pauper girl across the sea,
Had small lamb also,
Whose wool for less than half that sum
She'd willingly let 60.
Another girl, who had no sheep,
Nor stockings, wool, or fax,
But money just enough to buy
A pair without the tax.
Went to the pauper girl to get
Some wool to shield her feet,
And make her stockings not of tax,
But both of wool complete.
When Mary saw The girls design,
She straight began TO swear,
She'd make her buy both wool and tax,
Or le, one leg 50 bare.
SO she cried out protect" me from
That paupers sheep wool free,
Ifmadc to keep both her legs warm
What will encourage me?
50 it WAS done, and people said
Whcrc'er that poor girl went
One leg was warmed with wool and one
With tifty.six per cent.
Now praise to Mary and her lamb
Who did this scheme invent
To clolhe one-half q girl in wool
And one half in per cent.
All honor. too, to Mary's friends,
And all projections acts
Who cheaply clothc the rich i'll wool
And wrap the pool in tax

A FIB THAT WAS NOT A FIB.

/ A goods!old lady was the Widow
Dickson--a deyout old lady, kind at
heart and agreeable in manners--just
such pleasant old lady in frilled cap
and spectacles as some Of US may have
called Grandma, in those days when
our severest trials were no greater than
the loss of top or the breaking Of a
kite string.
One summer day, Mrs Dickson sat
on the porch with her knitting, when a
young mana rollicking young fellow,
whom everybody called Jim Steel
came riding along on horseback, and of
course, he stopped little while at the
gate to speak woid to .he solitary old
lady.
'Good.morning jim 7 she said.-
Have you been in town.
Yes, ma'am. A fine day isn't it?
1t is so. Anything new in town ?''
well, nothing particular, only
what, Jim p
well, there was fight in town last
night.
"A fight? How wicked Who has
been fgEting?' asked the old lady, sus,
peniing her knitting for the moment.
Well, you'd hardly believe if l tell
you said Jim.
Not believe the knitting now
rested in her lap. Why?
Because they're the last persons
you d suspect of fighting.
Why, who are they 2 she asked, in a
tone OF alarm.
Well Mr.. Faxon and Mr.. Giles.
Mercy mep The knitting was now
laid aside, with the needles stuck into
the ball Of yarn, az if to transtix it for
some otfense. Jim, you amaze me =
Do you mean to say that Brother Faxon
and Brother GileS-ft9'
These we're two excellent gentlemen,
and leading members Of the same
church and it is almost needless to
add that, the mischievous Jim Steel
was only indulging in a bit of harmless
tiction--a species Of enjoyment to which
he was very much addicted.
Yes he repeated. no doubt thinking
that, while two different fbs were
worse than one, there could be very
little additional harm in repeating QUE
already told-'they had a tussle.'
Poor Mrs. Dickson s face was eloquent
with mingled astonishment and sorrow
why, how did it happen ?

the best way to put in wheat. Mr..
Faxon thought it ought to be put in

ought to be sowed by hand, in the old
way. Finally, Mr.. Giles said Mr. Fax.
ons idea was stupid, and Mr. Faxou
said Mr.. Giles talked ridiculously At
last, Mr.. Faxon said something Mr..
Giles said point blank WASN'T true, and
Mr.. Faxon said he wasn't going to be
