"Little dront of water, : is

And the beauteous land." ;

Ugll!', ezcUims- some would be
delicate lady "the very sound reminds
one. of the smell of oil, and we shall
hear nothing but the clanking of
machinery and the clicking of type."
Well, .what of that, fair lady ? True
the oil we may use is not so highly
perfumed as that with which you
smother your ringlets ; but for all that
it has the same bases and is applied
to a far nobler purpose. The clanking
of our machinery may not be pleasant
to your over refined taste; but to the
true poet it has a sound sweeter than
the "tinkling of symbals." The click
ing of type may be ever disgreeable
to vou. but we would rather hear it
" - . ...
and Ct.use it, than, be possessed of the
gift of a Jenny Lind, were we to have
our choice of the two.
Ours is a glorious mission, fellowr
craftsmen, rnnces and ' potentates
own our sway, and there is nothing
mightier than ours. As we 'stand up
to the case, worn out and weary though
we may be, we have at least the com
fort of the thought that though Ave
cannot find an acre of God's earth
that we may call our own though we
are poorly paid and heavily taxed
though there may not be one to whom
... ll " . '
neuiiiy airy ui iu auuiuci cuuie ;
though we may well know that we
shall leave no mighty name behind us,
with our name blazoned on history's
page and sculptured in marble yet
we are assured that our works shall
not perish. Long after we shall have
been laid beneath the sod, the "still
small voices" with which we have
spoken will go on with their mighty
work, accomplishing the good which
we have sought while living. With
our "mallets" Tve have driven home
wedges "which, shall in time overturn
principalities and powers. With "shoot
ing irons" of more effect than Sharp's
Rifles or Colt's Revolvers, we march
to the battle against wrong, far more
sure of victory than they who wield
he sword. ...... I
Oftentimes, as we have stood at our
ase" merrily sticking the magical
strips of metal, which seemed as things
of life under our fingers, have we
aucrhed in our sleeves as we thought
how many would be anxiously watch-
in 2 for the result of our labors how
many hopes and fears hung on the
mere epsi dixit of the types how much
the leading men and writers of our
day arc indebted to the humble but
none less valuable labors of the typo.
And again pur heart would grow sad
as twe thought of those to whom we
should be the bearers of evil tidings.
How many of those ,who read the
dolorious headingsl "Dreadful Disaster
Fearful Railroad Accident and Great
Loss of Life !" &c, are untouched by
the sad news. To many and many a
home do we thus convey the sad in
telligence, and as we do so, there swells
up in our heart a prayer for the loved
ones : at home, and a hymn that we
were not of those who were so sud
denly and fearfully launched into
eternity.
But we have a higher and a nobler
mission than that of , mere, messenger.
Printers arc emphatically the reformers
of the age in which they live. In
the dirtv room where few butmechan-
ical sounds are heard a busy work of
mind is going on. Those rough look
ing men standing at their cases, are
now, perhaps, giving to the world their
own great and noble thoughts speaking
with their metalic tongues, words that
will cheer some fellow-worker, or spur
some dreamer to works that ho never
thought himself capable of sow seed
by the wayside that in time will spring
up and bear good fruit, even an hun
dred fold by planting a vine that shall
at some future day shelter the weary
pilgrim on life's journey striking, a
rock from whence shall gush a fountain
of pure water, refreshing, to many 'a
faint and disheartened denizen of this ,
cold world of ours. No new measure
9 , I
is proposed no new principles of
science, art, politics or mechanics is
promulgated, but these busy printers
these ready thinkers seize upon it,
and proceed to enlighten the public
upon its' bearings' and applications -
for a wonderfully practicd set are they-
liducated,"as they generally, are in the
sternest of all "systems,- that of hard
won experience, they look at life as a
reality, divested of false adornings and
outward shows. By the time thatthey
arrive at manhood's years, for their
printer life must commence early
they have the right to stand among
men many years their seniors and call
them equals. The poor boy's college
has fitted them for.such a life struggle
as few outsiders know of. With a
brave heart and a slim "purse often
with naught but his'rule in his pocket
many a typo , leaves the scenes of
his earlier experience to go forth to
seek his fortunein-some distant section.
If every thing else failshim you may
rest1 assured that his stock of brass
will not.-'With this and an indomita-
ble nerseverence, and without a particle
of grceness, you may trust the iour
printer to make his way wherever he
may place himself. '
Tlie Tragedian Booth and the Lord's 1
Prayer.
: Booth and several friends had been
invited to dine with an old gentleman
- . .. ..... . .... . - . . I
in Baltimore of distinguished kindness
urbanity and piety. The'host, though
disapproving of theaters and theater-
going had heard so much of Booth's
remarkable ; powers, that curiosity to
see the man in this instance, overcome
all his : prejudice's. ' After the enter-
tainment was ovcr'and company re-
seated in the drawing room; some one
requested Booth as a particular favor,
and - one which doubtless all present
would appreciate,' to read the Lord's
Prayer. Booth expressed his willing-
ness to afford them this gratification,
and all eyes were turned expectantly!
upon him.
Booth rose slowly and reverently
Trom his chair. It was wonderful to
watch the play of emotions that con-
.vulsed his countenance. He became
deadly pale, and his eyes turned trem
bling upward, were wet with tcars.-
As yet he had not spoken. The silence j
could be felt. It 'became absolutely
painful, until ' at last the spell was
broken, as if by an electric shock, as
a rich toned voice, from white lips,
syllabled forth, "Our father, who art in
Heaven," &c, with a pathos and sol-
emnity that thrilled all hearts.
He finished. The silence continued,
Not a voice was heard, or a muscle
moved in his wraft -audience, until
from a remote corner of the room, a
subdued sob was heard, and' the old
gentleman, their host, stepped forward
with streaming eyes and : tottering
frame, and seized Booth by the hand,

Episcopal Recorder.
, How Marat Died.
The sentence of the military com
mission was -read to him with due
. .
solemnity. He listened to it, as he
would have listened to the cannon of
another battle during his military life
without emotion or bravado. '. . He
neither asked for pardon, for delay,
nor for appeal.- He had advanced .of
his own accord, toward the door as if
to accelerate the catastrophe, lhe
door . opened on a. narrow esplanade
lying between the towers of the castle
and the outer walls. Twelve soldiers
Avith loaded muskets awaitedhim there.
The narrow space did not permit him
to stand at a sufficient distance to de
Pnve "is death of a part of his honor.
Marat, in stepping over the threshold
01 tne cnambcr, tound himself face to
&ce tn them.: He refused to have
his eyes bandaged, and, looking at the
soldiers with a firm; and benevolent
smile, said
"My friends, do not make me suffer
by taking bad aim. The narrow space
uul"PCia minus iu resi me muzzie
of your muskets on my breast; do not
strike me in .the face ; aimatmyheart
here ifc ia"
As he spoke thus, he placed' his
nSht nand uPon his coat, to indicate
the position of his heart. . In his left
hand he held a small medahon, which
contained, in one focus of love, the
image of his wife and four children,
as if he wished thus ! to make them
witnesses' of his last look. ' He fixed
nis eyes on this portrait, and received
tn death-blow in the contemplation of
it 1 1 . 1 ... . .': il . TT i i ' ' '1

at so short a distance with twelve balls,
fellt witn: nis arms open and -his face
towards the earth, as if still embracing
the kingdom he once possessed, and
which he had come to re-ebnquer for
his tomb. They threw his cloak upon
his body, which was buried in the
Cathedral of Pizzi. Thus died the
most chivalrous soldier of the imperial
epoch and the greatest but the most
heroic figure among the champions of
the new Alexander.
Judge not they neighbor.

And on my heart the care bestow,
And let my friends alone. -
What the wind says.
"Do you know what the winter's
wind says, grandpa?" asked a little
child at an old merchant's knee
"No, puss; what does it?" he ans-
wered stroking her fair hair.
" Remember; tho poor !' Grandpa,
when it comes down the chimney it
roars, 'Remember the poor! when
it puts its great mouth to the
keyhole it'-whistles, Remember the
poor!' when it strides through a crack
in the door it whispers it; andgrandpa,
when it blows your beautiful silver hair
in the street, and yOu shiver and button
up your coat, does it not get at your

"Why, what, ddes the child mean?

"No, grandpa,' said the child, ear

started with surprise, for it was the

first time he had ever collected more
than a dollar from him, ana mat ne
thought, came grudgingly.
"Why," said the old merchant,
JlftAWfird. 4I COuld never get Tld Of
that child's words; they stuck to me
like due."
"And a little child shall lead them,"
says the Scripture. How many a cold
heart has melted, and a close heart
opened, by. the simple earnestness and
suggestive words of a child!
Keep Your Temper. . - I
"I never can keep any thing," cried
Emma, almost stamping with y ration. F-
"Somebody always takes ray things
and looses them." ,SheJiad mislaid
some of her sewing implements.
"There is one thing," remarked
mamma, "that I think you might keep
if you would try." .
"I should like to keep even ,one
thing," answered Emma.
, "Well, then, my dear," resumed
mamma, "keep your temper; if you
will only do that, perhaps, you would
find it easy to keep other things. I
dare say, now, if you had employed
your time in searching for the missing
articles, you might have found them
before this time ; but you have .not
even looked for them. You have only
got into ; a passion a bad way of
spending time, and you have accused
somebody, and very unjustly, too, of gone to the lady s house. Tho hui
taking away your things and losing band was penurious as well as jealoui
them. Keep your temper, my dear;
when you have mislaid any article,
keep your temper and search for it.
You had better keep your temper, if
you lose all the little property you
possess; getting into a passion, never
brings any thing to light except a dis-
torted face, and by losing your temper
you become guilty of two sins you
yet into a passion, and accuse some-
I repeat, keep your temper.'
., w I
Emma subduedher ill humor, search-
ed for the articles she had lost, and
found them in her 'work-bag. '
"Why, mamma, here they are ; I
might have been sewing all the time,'if
I had kept my temper."
Happy Mary. She moved about
the house like a sunbeam. I heard
her singing as she passed to and fro,
and her mother heard her too, and said,
with a fond smile :
"It is Mary! She is always-the
same, always happy. I do not know
r a
what I would do without her."
"I do not know what any of us would
do without Mary," repeated her eldest
daughter, and the rest echoed her
words.
Her youngest brother is of a violent
temper, and is always quarreling with
somebody ; but he never quarrels with
Mary because she will not quarrel with
him, but strives to turn aside his anger
by. gentle words. Even her very
presence has an influence over him.
Did He Die For Me?
A little child sat quietly upon its
mother a lap. Its soft blue eyes were
looking earnestly into the face which
was beaming with love and tenderness
for the cherished darling. The maternal
lips were busy with a story. The
tones of the voice were low and serious
for the tale was one of mingled sadness
and joy. Sometimes they scarcely
rose above a whisper, but the listening
babe caught every sound. The crimson
deepened on its little cheek, as the
story went on increasing in interest.
Tears gathered in its earnest eyes, and
, i i .i ii . i
a low sor. proKe me siumessas us
my ther concluded. A moment and the
ruby lips parted, and in tones made
tremulous by eagerness, the child in
quired: "Did he die for me, mamma ?"
"Yes, my child, for you for all."
"May I love Him always, mamma,
and dearly too?"
"Yes, my darling, it was to win your
love that He left his bright and beautiful
home.
"And He will love me, mamma, I
know He will. He died for me.
When may I see Him in his other
home?"
"When your spirit leaves this world,
my darling."
"My spirit?" murmured the child.
"Yc3, your spirit; that part of you
which thinks, and "knows, and loves.
If you love Him here, you will go live
with Him in heaven."
"And I may love . Him here. How
glad you have made me, dear mamma."
And. the mother bowed her head,
and prayed silently and earnestly that
her babe might love the Saviour.
Photographic Secrets!

the quarter Beaujon, guarded tho
