SPRING SONG.

So many ways to wander In,
So many lands to sesl
The west wind blows through the orchard
Close
And the white clouds wander free;
The wild birds sing in the heart of spring,
And the green boughs beckon me.
And it's oh, for the wide world, far away,
'Tis there fain would be-
For it calls me, claims me, the livelong day,
Sweet with the sounds and the scents Of
May,
And the wind in the linden-tree;
The wild birds sing in the heart of spring.
And the green boughs beckon me.
Ear aud far, in the distance dim,
Thy fortune waiteth thee
know not where, but the world is fair
With many strange countrie;
The wild birds sing in the heart Of spring,
And the green boughs beckon me.
So many ways may never win,
Skies may never see
Oh, wood-ways sweet for the vagrant Ieet
What may not come to be?
What do they sing in the heart OF spring.
And where do they beckcn me'
Farewell, farewell, TO my fathers house!
Farewell. true love, to thee!
Dear, and dear, are the kind hearts here,
And dear mine own roof-tree-
But the wild birds sing in the heart OF
spring,
And the green boughs becxon me.

"The Lead That Is In Lead Pencils.

The "lesd that is in lead pencils is
not lead at all, but graphite, a mineral
commonly called black lead or plumbago,
which titles are incorrect, as it contains
no lead. Its composition is similar to
anthracite coal, containing usually from
ninety to ninety-fve per cent. OF carbon.
1t is really a form of coal which is
changed into it by heat both in nature
and artiGcially. 1t is found in many
places in America, aud it exists in enor-
nous quantities in Northeastern Sibe'
ria. The graphite mine in Burrowdale,
England, was long celebrated for yielding
graphite of superior quality for making
black lead pencils. The mine has been
known since the time of Queen Elizabeth,
and probably furnished the first lead
nencils ever made, as their invention can
not be traced back as far as the discovery
Of the mine. Besides furnishing the
material for lead pencils graphite is used
for number of purposes in the mechanic
arts.-St. Louis Republic.

The Gutenberg Bible.

Fourteen thousan eight hundred dol
lars seems a stupendous price to pay for
one book, but J. w. Ellsworth, OF
Chicago, who paid that sum for the
Gutenberg Bible, at the recent sales Of
the Brayton Ives collection, in New
York, probably does not repent his
bargain. He has secured not only the
first book printed with type, bnt also, as
many believe, the first production of the
printers art since the invention of print
ing. The Gutenberg Bible was printed
about 1450-55. There are several
copies of the Bible in existence, but Mr.
Ives claimed for the copy pre-emlnence
on the ground that it was the first edi-
ton, and that it is in state of marvel
Gus preservation, being in the original
binding of thick oak boards, covered
with stamped calf, and ornamentcd with
brass corners and center pieces. Many
of the leaves are uncut. The volume
measures eleven and a half by fifteen
and seven-eights inches on the leaf.
The first volume, ending with the Psalms,
has three hundred and twenty-four
leaves, and the second contains three
hundred and seventeen leaves. The
Lenox Library has a copy of the Guten-
berg Bible, and it belongs to a later edi-
tion. Another copy, smaller than the
one in the Ives collection, and in modern
binding, sold in London, seven years
ago, for nearly $40, 800, so that the
figure paid by Mr.. Ellsworth is not
exorbitant. - National Publisher and
