The Rev. Edward Everett Hale, in the
December installment of IA New England
Boyhood" in the Atlantic Monthly, thus
speaks Of some experiences as q boz. .edi-
tor
OF course. with type as much as we
wanted, and all the other facilities for
home printing, we printed our own news
papers. do not think that at our house
we did it so much as boys would to whom
the making Of newspaper was not a
matter of daily observation, involving a
good deal of errand-running and other
work which was anything but play. But
we older boys had the Fly. which was our
newspaper, and my brother Charles, not
long after started the Coon in the midst
Of the Harrison campaign, which survived
for good many years.
| believe that the last issue of the Fly is
that which records the death of Lafayette,
in 1886 We had not type enough then to
print more than one page at time. Three
pages Of the Fly had been printed, and the
fourth was still to be set up. when the
news of Lafayette's death arrived. This
was too good q paragraph to be lost, and
we knew we could anticipate every other
paper In Boston by inserting it. But, un
fortunately, the MS had given out. We
had turned upside down all the US we had,
and they also had given out. Also, still
more unfortunately for printers in this diff
flculty, Lafayette had chosen to die Of IN
"influenza," which disease was at that mo-
ment asserting itself under that name in
France. It had not yet been called ..la
grippe" which would have saved US. We
succeeded in announcing the death Of 1.-THE
good, generous, noble Lafayette" although
generous" needed one and one y, and
"noble" took one Of the last MS. The par
agraph went on to say that "the death was
caused BY" and the last was devoured
by caused" Then came the word Gin
fluenza." 1.-The boldest held his breath fol
q time" But we were obliged ignomini.
ously to 60 to press with the statement
that his death was .'caused by cold. z
This was safe, and required NO and no =;
Alas! in the maklng-up Of the form the
precious Of the word ''nobler fell out
and any library which contains . file Of
the Fly will show that its last statement
to the world Is that 1.-THE good, generous
oble Lafayette has died; his death being
caused by cold.r Such are the exiGen.
cies Of boy printers In al times.

The Maine wives are the ones who re-
joice In the Kelley cure. Last week Maine
drunkard was sent to the Pennington
institute. This drunkard has q brave lit
tie wife who for several years has worked
early and late in pants shop for seventy
1--WE cents 3 day. From her meagre wages
she has saved enough to send her husband
away for treatment. 1t meant self-denial
and heroic struggles but she secured the
sum and coaxed her husband to start
away. The latter undertaking required
patience and perseverance of no mean
order. She had bought him a new suit
and he put it on and started out. He
didn't take the train. No, he took her
money, bought rum and engaged In . de-
bauch. She found him dead drunk, roll
ing in flth. After much coaxing and
endeavor she got him home and patiently
cleaned up his clothes. Then she started
him away again and this time he reached
bis destination. He is there now. just
think Of the true, patient, toiling, uncom-
planning little women who are living the
lives of heroines, right about US every
day!

The CHEAPEST LITERARY MAGAZINE IN
THE WoRLD.-lhe January number of The
New Peterson places the successor Of an
old-time magazine in the front rank Of lit
erary periodicals. The lis: of contributors

ular authors in the country, such as Ed.
ward Everett Hale, Thos. Wentworth Hig-
ginson. Amelie Chanler, Minot J. Savage,
R. II. Davis. Joseph Kirkland. John Vance
Cheney. Gertrude AthertOn. etc. This
opening number is an artistic gem from
the dainty cover to the last page Of the

is simply phenomenal. The Ne,e Rtersos

verse oCCuIS III lyric ID oCOttS mar
miOn:"
''She looked down to blush
And she looked up to sigh,
" ith smile on her lips
And a tear IN her eye."
In Lovers "Rory O'More" we lind the
following
"'Oh. Rory, be aisy,'
Sweet Kathleen would cry,
With reprOOf on her lip,
But smile In her eye.'
Pope is charged with having filched
from Milton the line:
"And justify the ways Of God to man.
and
"As. to be hated, needs only to be seen,'
from Dryden, who wrote,
"As, to be loved, needs only to be seen.'
In my reading this summer came upon
an Instance which can hardly be attributed
to coincidence Of EXPIRE ssion. Sir Walter
Raleigh says In his "Silent Lover"
''Silence In love betrays more woe
Than words, though ne'er so witty;
A beggar that Is dumb. you know,
May challenge double pity"
Thomas Haywood wrote:
IAN honest heart will cry for shame.'
Words may wound. though witty;
A beggar who Is dumb can claim
double share Of pity"
As Raleigh wrote more than half a CEN
tury before Haywood, the latter's verse is
unquestionably an adaptation. Bartlett,
in his Familiar Quotations" points out a
similarity between couplet by Thomas
Haywood and a couplet by Thomas
Seward:
Seven cities warred for Homer being dead.
Who living had no roofe to shrowd his head.
-Heylrood.
Seven wealthy towns contend for Homer dead i.
Through which the living Homer begged for
bread.-lNerard
Byron says in THE Dream
'She was his life.
The ocean to the riuer Of his thoughts.
(. Which terminated all.
The following line is found in Long
fellows Spanish Student"
'she floats upon the rirer Of his Moughts."
There is another coincidence between
these two authors. Byron in his ITO
Thomas Moore" says: Here's heart for
every fate" while Long gfellow, in his
Psalm of Life" has With heart for
any fate"
Various condolences Of expression oc-
cur IN SCOTS poems with authors who
preceded him. Shakespeare says. "A
ministering angel shall my sister be"
(Hamep. Scott says, "A ministering
angel thou" (Marmion). In the Spectator
Of November 5th, l77+. occurs, "Huzzaed
out OF my seven senses" Scott used the
expression, Scared out Of his seven sens
es." In closing l will add that the fol-
lowing familiar quotations originated with
Scott: The vain tribute of smile 4"
