THE SONG OF THE PRINTER.


Clickety-click, clickety-click,"
Brazen rule and iron stick,
All night long the printer stands
by his case with busy hands,
Like o clock with ceaseless tick;
Clickety'click, clickety-click,"
Clickety-cBck, clickety-clck,"
Hurry, printer, & ick, be quick
Thought israpid, lightning, too,
Both are waiting now on you;
You must put the news In form,
People want it fresh and warm
Hurry, printer, quick, be quickl
Clickety-click, clickety-click,
Here Is news from DER the sea-
England, Russia, Italy,
II o wondrous race has run,
Far outstripping wind and sun
Now, o printerl ply thy skill,
Quick, be Quickl work with Wilt
Send 1t forth for men to read,
Soon the news Is old and dead.
Here's q murder; awful deedi
Make now, printer, swiftest speed
News that's dyed with human blood
Should be swept forth like food
Let your nimble fingers fly,
Eager hands are standing by;
Eyes with wide and frightened stare
Don't you see them waiting there2
Here's a marriage-here's death,
All the world is out of breath,
Waiting what you have to give;
Hurry, printer, let 1t live.
Give it wings and let go
BE it Joy, or be 1t woe;
Wedding chime, or funeral toll,
Thro' your hands 1t all must roll
Candle smoking, low the wick,
Clickety-click, clieketyclick,
Sad or joyful, well or sick,
Clickety-click, clicketycliok,
Morn is on its way, be quickl
Clickety-click, clickety.click.

WHAT TO EAT.
A Question That Has Been Discussed by
Scientists to Little Eject.

scientists TO Little Erect. rs
The cook would give warning at
once, and the entire household would
be demoralized if the kitchen range
were supplied with fuel composed of
half-decayed wood and filled with slate,
broken stones, scraptin, fragments of
china and glass and fair sprinkling of
iron-slag. 1t is impossible to do good
work or produce good results without
good materials. But while we recog-
nize the ueed of providing good coal
and wood if we wish the cooking-stove
to do good service, it would seem, from
all Indications that we never take into
consideration the fact that the human
being is to some extent, q furnace, and
a most complicated and delicate one,
and demands not only an abundance OF
frst-class material but that which is
carefully selected and free from any
waste matter which would burden OF
clog the intricate machinery.
According to Holy Writ, man was
put into the midst of a garden where
fruits abounded, Charge was given
him concerning it; and from this many
persons argue Il 70 Divine institution
of vegetable diet. There is little
question as to the advantage of vege
table diet as far as health and purity
of blood are concerned. Whether there
is more endurance on Il meat than on &
vegetable diet is question which has
been for many years discussed by sci
entists with results satisfactory only
to themselves and their special adher
ents, but by no means convincing tx
the great masses of people. 1t is, how
ever, an admitted fact that there is {
very great risk in the eating of ANNA
| food.
1t can not be denied that vegetab le'
and fruit freshly gathered from gar
den and orchard are the most suitable
and safe materials for the human sys
tenn to work up into healthy blood
bone and tissue
1t can not with any show of reason
be maintained that vegetarians are les
capable of enduring hard work thai
eaters of meat; for it is well understood
that miners, workingmen on railwa,
building, shovelers and those who ar
performing the most arduous tasks
are fed mostly on vegetables. italian
laborers often work unceasingl,
through the heat Of the day, and seen
to flourish on a.diet of black bread ant
olives The Scotchman's oatmeal i
often his only food, and his hardness
endurance and courage are proverbial
There is a clearness to the complexion
of vegetarians that is rarely found il
those of eaters of meat. OF cours
there are many persons who indulg
largely in animal food and yet enjo
perfect health; but such individual
are almost always very careful as re
CARDS their diet and usually take
great deal of exercise. There are, be
sides, certain constitutions and ten
peraments that seem to be able to as
simulate almost everything and nott
ing seems to harm them. IN. y. Ledger
