The Poet and the Printer.

The Poet and the Printer.
The compositors Of the Gazette some
times err but never quite as badly as
this one told by the Portland Argus.
An editor was sitting in his office one
day when q man entered whose brow
was clothed with thunder. .Fiercely
seizing a chair, he slammed his hat on
the table. hurled his umbrella on the
floor and sat down.
Are you the editor?" he asked.
Yes"
Can you read writing?'
"Of course"
Read that then," he said thrustine
at the editor an envelope with an in
scription on it.
B" said the editor, trying tc
spell 1t.
That's not a B. It's an s." said the
poet.
IS? oh, yes. see. Well 1t looks like
'Soles for dinner or Souls for sin
ners," said the editor.
mo, sir" replied the man. nothing
OF the sort. That's my name-Samuel
Brunner. knew you couldn't read.
called to see about that poem Of mine
you printed the other day entitled THE
Surcease of Sorrow"
81 don't remember" said the editor.
"Of course you don't because 1t went
into the paper under the vtllainous
title of 'Smearcase Tomorrow
"A blunder Of the compositor, sup
pose."
"Yes, sir; and this is what am
here to see you about. The way IN
which that poem was mutilated was
simply scandalous. i haven't slept q
night since. 1t exposed me to derision.
People think me fool. (The editor
coughed.) Let me show you. This first
line when I wrote 1t read in this way:
Lying by weeping willow underneath
a gentle slope This is beautiful and
poetic. Now, how did your vile sheet
represent 1t to the public? Lying to
weeping widow induced her to elope.'
Weeping widow mind you. A widow!
Oh, thunder and lightning! This Is
too much!" ...
Its hard, sir, very hard" said the
editor. r.H..
Then take the fifth verse. In the
original manuscript 1t said plain. as
daylight, Take away the jingling mon
ey' 1t is only glittering dross!" In It's
printed form you made me say: Take
away the tingling honey; put some
flies in for the boss. BY George! I
feel like attacking somebody with your
fire shovel; But oh, look at the sixth
verse I wrote. I'm weary Of the toss
ing of the ocean as 1t heaves.' When
/ opened your paper and saw the lines
transformed into I'm wearing out my
trousers till they are open at the
knees thought that was taking 1t an
inch too far. i fancy I have a right
to murder that compositor. Where Is
hep"
He is out just now," said the editor.
Come in tomorrow"
IT WILL" said the poet. "and will
come armed"

The early history Of the jurispru-
dence Of Michigan, II faithfully chroni-
cled, would furnish forth an entertain
ment abounding with the soul and
point Of humor. Many Of these little
legends yet float around the scenes
which have given birth to them and
serve sometimes to give zest to a bar
dinner or to enliven a bar meeting
Among them is the following:
Judge B., plain and worthy man,
but no lawyer. was once county judge
Of Oakland under the old system. A
case came on for trial before him on
one occasion in which the action was
founded in tort, and the plea Of the de-
fendant, which was special, was such
as to give him the affirmative Of the is
sue, upon the strength Of which he
claimed the right to open and close
the case. This point was denied by
the counsel for the plaintiff, "who new
er in the whole course Of his practice
had heard Of such an enormity as the
defendants presuming to open the
case" Authorities were brought and
cited, however, and the judge, after
mature consideration, determined that
such was the defendants right and 50
pronounced his decision. After short
pause, during which the plaintiff was
grumbling his dissatisfaction, the court
told the defendants lawyer to go on.
Your honor" said he, rising, II am
not quite ready to open the case. When
1 get ready I will let the other side
know" This opened. If not the case
at least the eyes and mouth OF the 9TH
er side, who sprang to his feet and
beloved forth denunciation upon the
stupidity Of the judge, whose absurd
decision had placed him in such a d.
lemma. You see, your honor, what
placed the case in the hands Of the de-
fendant. He took possession Of oul
oxen, and when we brought an action
to recover them he took possession OF
that also" II can't help it, SIR" said
the learned judge, with great stern
ness. 1.-The decision Is made, and II
is too late to alter 1t. The law must
take it's course. You must withdraw
your action and sue again"
IF he does, your honor" said the de-
fendants counsel. II shall plead the
tendency Of this action in bar ant
beat him." Then, Mr.. -" said the
Judge, II see no other way for yor
but to sit down quietly and wait til
the defendant gets ready to try thi:
case" The plaintiff took the Judge:
advice, but the time appointed" has
never elapsed, and he is waiting yet

HE COULDN'T AccEPT.-A preacher
had ordered load Of hay from one
of his parishioners. About noon, the
parishioner's little son came to the
house crying Justify. On being asked
what the matter was he said that the

assured the little fellow that it was
nothing serious. and asked him in to
dinner.
PA wouldn't like It," said the boy
But the preacher assured him that
he would fix 1t all right with his faith
er, and urged him to take dinner be-
fore going for the hay. After dinner
the boy was asked II he were not glad
