A Quaker Printers Proverbs.

Never send an article for publica-
ton without giving the editor thy
name, for the name often secures pub
LEGATION to worthless articles.
Thou shouldst not rap at the door
of a printing office, for he that an
swereth the rap sneereth in his sleeve
and loseth time.
Never do thou loaf about, nor knock
down the type, or the boys viii! love
thee as they do the shade tree--when
thou leavest.
Thou shalt never read the copy on
the printers case, or the sharp and
hooked container thereof, or he may
knock thee down.
1t is not right that thou should ask
him who is the author of an article,
for it is his duty to keep such things
into himself.
When thou dost enter his Office
take heed unto myself that thou dosi
not look at what may concern thee
not, for that is not meet in the sight
of good breeding.
Neither examine thou the proof
sheet, for it is not ready to meet thine
eye. thou mayst understand.
Prefer thine own town paper to any
and subscribe for it Immediately,
Pay for it in advance, and it shall
be well with thee and thine.--Er.

The quotation Westward the star
of empire takes its way" is somewhat
old, but while once it was a prophecy
only. il is now an accomplished fact.
That portion of our country lying be-
tween the Alleghanies on the east and
the Rocky Mountains on the west. con-
tains the forces which control the ma
ton. The majority of the population
is there, and there also is the prepon-
derance of political power. There is
the granary of the nation, and there
will at no distant day be not only the
greatest assemblage of manufactures,
but there will also be the head of
financial influence. These things are
coming, as witness the wrestling of the
Worlds Fair away from the East by
Chicago. and the phenomenal growth
in every element of power, shown by
st. Louis. Kansas City, st. Joseph,
Omaha, Denver, ST.. Paul and Mime
apolis. These centeIs of influence
are linked together by the lines of
1.-The Burlington, which reaches all
principal points in nine great states.
