The Man the Printer Loves.

There is man the printer loves, and
he is wondrous wise; Whenever he writes
the printer man he dOtteth all his is.
And when he's dotted all of them with
carefulness and ease, he punctuates each
paragraph and crosses all his is. Upon
one side alone he writes, and never rolls
his leaves, and from the man of ink a
smile and mark insert" receives. And
when question he dOeth ask-taught
wisely he has been-he doth the gOodly
stamp enclose for postage back put in.
He gives the place from which he writes
the address the printer needs-and
plainly writes his hOnored name, so he
that runneth reads. He writes, revises,
reads, corrects and rewrites all again,
and keeps one copy safe and sends one
to the printer man. And thus by taking
little pains, at trifiing care and cost, as
sures himself his manuscript will not be
burned or lost. So let those who long
to write take pattern by this man, with
jet black ink and paper white do just
the best they can, and then the printer
man shall know and bless them as his
friends all through life's journey as they
go until that journey ends.-EI

His Chosen Home In Prison.

William Rothwell has been in the
Dedham, Mass, Jail twenty-three years.
Rothwell is sixty-eight years old, and
for the many years he has been in jail
he has made and mended the clothes of
hundreds of prisoners. Rothwell came
from wealthy family in England, and
was we'll educated. When first known
in Dedham he was arrested by Officer
George E. Morse for drunkenness. While
serving sentence at the jail he showed
aptnesS as tailor, although never be-
fore having had experience at the trade.
After serving his sentence he was given
charge of the Jail and he left town. He
remained away but few days, how
ever. Upon his return he went to Off
Ger Morse and requested that charge
be made against him either of drunken
ness or vagrancy. A charge was made,
he pleaded guilty and he was returned
to Jail, and the Boston Herald says
ROthwell has continued this course for
the past twenty-three years.
Although age bears it's mark, his
countenance shows refinement. He has
become very deaf. He can be seen by
any visitor in the guard room of the
jail seated upon his bench, plying his
needle through the garments worn by
the prisoners. He has a brother, a
wealthy merchant in New York city,
who recently visited him. He has been
repeatedly entreated by his relatives,
not only in New York, but in Ian
cashire, England, to leave his prison
home and live with them, but he says:
81 am contented in the home that /
chose twenty-three years ago and l
shall not leave it as long as can re-
main here, either by hospitality or legal
sentences by the courts
ROthWell'S life has a romance. When
a young man at college he fell in love
with a wealthy young English lady.
She accepted his attention as sutton.
Money he had in plenty, and being
young, spirited and kind of heart, had
many boon companions. He began to
drink and the young woman discarded
him. He then left his native land and
went to Australia. For several years
none of his relatives knew where he
was, until twenty-three years ago yester-
day, he sent letter to his mother in
England, telling her where he was. He
has the freedom of the jail at Dedham,
and the guard room would be lonesome
to the officers without his presence.

We do not, indeed, tire of old. friends.
A soul whose wealth we have once re-
cognized must be ever rich to us.
"Gold," said Socrates, turns not to
copper by keeping" and perhaps old
friends are rather like old wine, and
can never be too old. Yet who does not
mark in the calendar those days where
in he has met aae,D rich soul, that has a
physiOgnomy, grace and expression,
peculiarly it's own? Even decided re-
pulsiOns have also use. We whet our
conscience on our neighbors' faults, as
sober Spartans were made by the spec
tacle of drunken HelOts; though he who
makes habitual talk about his neigh
bors' faults whets his conscience across
the edge. If there be sermons in stones,
no less is there blessing in bores and
and in DULLES. We found one day in
the face of black bear what could not
be so we'll found in libraries. The Great
ure regarded us attentively, and with
affection rather than malice-saw sim
ply certain amounts of savory flesh.
useful for the satisfaction of ursine
hungers-and saw nothing more. 1t
was an incompatible lesson to teach
that the world is an endless series of
levels, and that each eye sees what it's
own attitude commands; the rest to it
is non-extant. That bear was in his
natural covering of hair; his brothers
are frequently met in brOadcloth.

OUR NEW YEAR.

Will it be happy new year? Will
all the pleasant things our friends wish
for us really come into our lives +?
Whether it shall be so or not will de-
pend upon ourselves.
How then, can we make our new
year happy? Under what conditions
will the good wishes of the day be real
lied and the prayers for us be answered
in our lives? If we would make our
new year happy one, we must also
lice aCell. Better nObler living should
be written down among the purposes
of the new year; and we should never
be content to make any year just as
beautiful as the last. Growth, it is
said, is the law Of all life; when growth
ceases, death begins. There will always
be better things possible Of attainment
than any we have yet attained as con-
victs. We must understand that the
limits of progress in true living are
really never reached. We never gain a
height beyond which there is not one
higher still.
Our lives at present may be mere
rivulets, but we can form them into
mighty rivers, broadening and deepen
ing as they move on toward the great
ocean of our future existence. New
beauties of character should blossom
out in each new year; and if we are
learning nothing, if we are growing no
wiser, no richer in thought and feeling,
no lOvelier in character no more useful
and helpful to others, we have not yet
learned how to live.
We never have more than one day to
live. We have no to-morrOws. "God
never gives us years, nor even weeks;
he gives us only days." said a we'll
known divine. Yes, if we fill the little
days with faithfulness, the great years
will pile up monuments of praise and
blessing.

A Request of Franklin.

The supreme court of Pennsylvania has just
rendered a decision uphOlding the bequest made
by Benjamin Franklin a century ago to promote
early marriages. Franklin bequeathed e1,OOO
each to the cities of Philadelphia and Boston, to
be lent upon matrimOny to apprentices who
wished to establish themselves in business. The
rate of interest to be charged was 5per cent and
Franklin calculated that at the end of a hundred
years the fund in each city would amount to
e1s1 ,OOO He directed that the odd 81 900 should
be spent by each city in public improvements
and the remainder lent to young married couples
for another 100 years. 1t was then to be divided
between the city and the state-Ho,rard Times.

Now, isn't this too bad. A newspa-
per in Vermont, that ought to know
better, dwells upon the American
ism" of the late James Russell Lowell
-"suffice,' it says, that he had accept
ed the invitation of the English people,
while our Minister to England, to I'M
veil the statue of Fielding, and that he
was elected Rector of the University of
Glasgow This is foolish business.
Mr.. Lowell was all American of the
Americans. Americanism, my friend,
does not consist in capacity for get
ting the ill-will of foreigners, or in
abusing them when one lives abroad.
Mr.. Lowell worthily represented the
people of the United States among the
English people, and the honors paid to
him in choosing him to unveil the
statue Of Fielding, and electing him
Rector of Glasgow's great university,
were hOnOrs paid to this nation. It
is thing to be proud of. The author
of "Biglow Papers" will always be
known to future generations, on both
sides of the ocean, as man who was a
Yankee of the Yankees. Our Green
Mountain friend has been talking
through his hat.

blue-eyes have always predOminated.
Socrates, Shakespeare, Locke, Bacon,

Assessors and Taxpayers

A recent decision bv .T"aoe Ell.
wards Will be ~. interest to assessors
--u taxpayers generally. 1t was in a
case brought by Col. w. L. Gate
wood. formerly of Montgomery coun-
ty, who had been assessed with a
large amount of personal property,
upon which he refused to pay taxes.
In passing upon the case-which was
decided favorably to Gatewood-
Judge Edward, says: ut is made
the duty of the assessor to demand
from the taxpayer a list or statement
under oath, and until that has been
done, and the taxpayer has refused
or neglected compliance with such
demand, the right to make an arbi-
trary assessment does not arlse.'
In other words Judge Edwards de-
cides the custom of ''picking up
names on old books-so prevalent
among assessors is not authorized
by law. Unless an assessor has made
a legal demand upon a known resi-
dent of the county to furnish his as.
sessment list, he has no right under
the law TO place his name or property
upon the assessment books. This
decision is likely to cause assessors
to be more careful in the future than
they have been in the past.-Troy

A Missouri Fruit Farm

At Olden, Mo-, there is a fruit farm
of three thousand acres, which was
started in the spring of 1881 by the
planting of 10000 peach trees. In
the spring of 1885 some 5000 apple
trees, $4,000 peach trees, and ten
acres of berries were planted. In
the spring of 1886 ten acres of ber-
ries, 5000 apple and 10000 peach
trees were planted. In 1887 five
acres of berries, 1000 pear, 1000
apple and 5000 peach trees were
planted. III 1883 five acres of BEL
ries, 5000 apples and 5000 peach
trees we're planted and in the spring
of 1889 ten acres of berries, 500
cherry, 1000 pear and 5000 apple
trees were planted. The total fruit
plant of the farm up to March /,
1890, covered 700 acres, of which 300
acres we're in peach trees, SEQ acres
in apple trees and 100 acres in pear,
plum and cherry trees, raspberries
and blackberries. This year between
rs, 900 and 100, 900 bushels of pea
ches have been picked. The entiIe
crop was sold 10 the New York firm
of Wing Brothers for fifty cents a
bushel. The peach crop this year
will almost pay the original cost OF
the farm.--Ex.

taA 4 Monster I Evergreen 4 NurSerYa.

The annual catalogue of the Evergreen
Nurseries, of Evergreen, Wis, has been
issued, and this office has been favored
with q copy. They list fully 300 varieties
Of coniferous evergreens. Some of them
are very strange and unique in form and
habit of growth. They have been to
great pains and expense to secure seeds
and plants of evergreens found native in
all parts of the earth. If q man wants
evcrgreens cheap but good, for screens,
groves, windbreaks, or hedges, there is
no better place to go in America. If a
man is fond of the marvellous strange and
curions forms in nature, there is no other
place in this country where his fancy can
be satisfied with rare and beautiful ever
greens.
The nurseries are growing the plants
in immense numbers, planting the seeds
by the ton. They imported from one
seed house in Germany last season 1900
pounds besides all they gathered in this
country, getting large quantities from
Colorado, California, Washington, and
all the western states and territories. 1t
is well worth any mans while to send for
their lists.
