HIGH PRESSURE.

Never whip your brain. All high
pressure is dangerous. Study to
things as quietly and as easily as
you breathe. Never force yourself
to learn what you have no talent
for. knowledge without love will
remain lifeless manufacture, not a
living growth. Be content to be
ignorant of many things that you
may know one thing we'll, and that
the thing which God specially en-
dowed you to know. 1t requires
fire to fuse the materials ct think
ing, no less than to melt the iron in
the foundry. But remember this,
however strong you may be, pbysi-
cally, to strike blow, and however,
sharp, intellectually, to recognize a
fact and discern a difference, your
success in the game of life depends
on the serious culture which you
give to the third formative force in
human character, your normal ma
ture; and of the righttul supremacy
Of this element comprehensive ex-
preston is found in the right sim
pie word, love. On this all proph-
cts, poets and philosophers are
agreed.

1.-THE Intelligent Composttor. /"

FROM the San trancfsco Chronicle.
There are some things that the average
printer cannot or will not do, and some that he
both can do and does. The former are not
nearly SO numerous as the latter, 90 they may
be catalogued before . schedule is attempted Of
his virtues.
The average compositor cannot be persuaded
that there is such word as ingenious" He
is certain to make il into s.ingenious" at least
nine times out of ten, and then, to restore the
average between the u and the 1, he is very
likely to make 'insidious'' into ''insiduous. y
possibly misled by ''dcciduous," which he uni
formly gets right.
His pons asinorum, however, il .'consensus
which he will set up ''concensus'' in spite Of
the united efforts OF writer. proof reader and a
whole staff of editors. The word census seems
to carry him OF his feet and he lives and dies
in the belief that the longer word is census"
with the Soon prefixed.
Every printing office has what are called
''styIe rules" which are intended to be followed
as closely 40 possible. A common, though net
universal, rule is that figures are to be used in
stead OF printing the numbers out at length,
but this rule could hardly excuse the compost,
tor for setting up the familiar line OF the old
hymn so that il read, &c, 600 co., (ten thou-
sand thousanO 'sare their Tongues, but all their
joys are l." or for spelling the editors quota
ton from the song ''Meet Ne in the Lane at
Half Past Nine: by setting it up, Meet Ne in
the Lane at $50"
One more Illustration completes the cate
CORY Of his extraordinary misdeeds. Whenever
an attempt is made 70 quote the celebrated
chapter, ION the Snakes Of Iceland" which is
comprised In the words There are no snakes
in Iceland" the compositor, no matter how
legible his copy, will convert iceland" into
ireland" the st. Patrick legend being APP
psrenSay moro familiar to him than the history
But nov let M 80 what the compositor can
do and docs do every day Of his life. He takes
Q manuscript, the chirognphy Of which would
make the lid Of Chinese tea chest blush with
envy, translates IL into the vernacular o. he
goes alsng, corrects the spelling and the gram
mer, and oftentimes the rhetoric, and turns il
out, not as the author wrote il, but as he in
tended TO write IT, He sets up better Enslish
than most men can write; he can detect errors

ligious editor ON theology; he can Appreciate

and detect the fallaciss in a profound leader on
economies, and be can do more hard and intelii-

HIGH LIFE IN ENGLAND.

immortality Is Winked Mt and Even Encour-
aged by Aristocratic Society.
Chicago Herald's London Letter.
was talking recently with Londoner on
the subject Of social life among the nobility
and had expressed surprise that it should sup
ply to the newspapers 30 much material for
scandalous gossip. He replied that the men
and women of rank conducted their immoral
ity in such an open way that newspaper writer's
could not fail to hear Of it; in fact, that vice
was openly countenanced by the aristocracy to
an extent that cannot be understood by men
and women Of the middle class. When a hostess
invites houseful Of guests to her country
place she is extremely careful to select ladies
that are particularly congenial to certain men,
carrying this habit to the extent of bringing
couples together whose intimacy is the talk of
the town. A duke who has been persistently
chasing some other mans marchioness for
years makes it a rule not to accept an invita-
ton unless his favorite is to be Of the COM
pany, and he will easily 60 SO far as to write
to this effect to his hostess, who at once in
cludes the marchioness in her list if she be
not there already. This custom of looking
out for ones amorous interests in social in
tercOurse prevails in the strata of the
aristocracy, from royalty down. And it is a
little odd that nobleman without a favorite is
q unique parsonage. 1t has always been sur
70 Wutu introduced into
the society Of the British aristocracy to find
with what freedom the indelicate phrases Of
life discussed and commented on. Miss
Endicott, an American girl, when she entered
society here as the wife Of Joseph Chamber
lain. became 80 incensed at discussion
at the table Of q duchess where she was din
ing that she rose and left the room. By this
time she has probably become used to it
and no longer exhibits her democratic
breeding by expressing her disapproval of
noticeable habits of English society women

and darling boy" and stroke his cheek or
kiss HMM a careless way, of course. Ex-
proved to them that tall boys of twenty are
and are capable of returning the kiss of a pretty
woman even if the OSCILLATION is careless. .
Young men brought up under this sort of ten
der patronage are not going to stand of and
treat o woman with shy respect when they grow
out Of the state of boyhood, and the conse-
quence is that Lady Freshlips finds her ''boy"
five. The large companies at country houses
also conduce to extreme familiarity between
the sexes. The women are, as a rule, as horsey
and doggy as the men, and they gamble Just as
high. All of them have name and wealth to
fall back ON, and it is more than easy to drift
luxuriously into an existence where everything
that gives O moments pleasure is seized upon.
