Just a Question or Two. An exchange thus dcBcanta Upon rioting office bores, hitting tlio mark 0 fairly ou tlio head, we canuot fuil to nppreetute, iudor?e aud copy. Heronro a few of the innumerable questions which printers uro culled upon to answer: Do you print both aides or the paper at once ? How long docs it tako to make a newspaper ? Suppose you wvito everything you prinfl, don't you ? Why aro those boxes of different sizes, and how do you know where to God a 1 certain lottor ?j Can't you print a picture ofaujthing you want to'( 1 should thiuk you could. Why cuu't you ? (After priut iog some horse bills for a man uot long ago, ho fuund fault with thern because tho "cut" was not just like his horse. On another occasion a gentlemen cam*' to ub with tho iufo rmatiou that he hud left his horse in front of the office and wanted a picture oT it taken aud some bills printed.) If you print ono hundred bills fu r 83 1 Bupposc you will let mo have four for twelve cents ! I should think it would be fun to be an editor?ryou don't do nnytbicg but nit. down aud read newspapers and stories all day ! Do you throw your type away aftor you havo printed upon itoucj? You don't care if I take a handful of this typo, do you ? It can't bo very hard to set type all day?is it now ? Can't I help you print something ? I wish you would print my nane for mo; it wouldn't be much trouble to - print off just one uanio. What is this for ? what do you do with that ? what makes that look bo funny,? what are you going to do now ? what for? why? what makes you keep bo Btill? you don't care if a follow just talks, do. you ? 13y tho timo a man goes through with this list of questions, his company be comes 60 monotonous that he cannot fail to perceive its effects upon tho Iis toners, aud ho walks off with tho im prcesiou that wo have treated him uu kindly and iinpoiitciy. All tho abovo is to tho point, and When thp qucstionor takes tho hint aud lcavc'J of hid owu accord, we feel screno But then, when, as occurred with us the other day, a man comes iu wiLlf-a' 32-pagO pnmplNR ffltrwEfl backs toru off," and '-insists -on us printing him a cjpy of that same, backs and title page included, for ten conti, because that is ail the original copy cost him, we feel disposed to explain to him the quickest method of getting down stairs, free of charge. A Story of the Curfew. To many hearts in the old country that cherish its traditions, the curfew recalls ft story of love's devotion. In tho time of Cromwell a young sol dier, for Eomo offeuse, was condemned to die, and tho time cf his death was fixed ?at the ringing of the curfew. Naturally such a doom would be fearful arvj^bitier ,to one in the years of his hope and prime, but to this unhappy youtn death was doubly terrible, ?iuee he was soon to havo been married to a beautiful lady whom he had long loved. The lady, who loved him bo ardently in return, had used her utmost efforts to his -fearful Jiite, pleading with the iudgefrpftud even with Cromwell hituselt, but all jn^VijiD- In her despair ehe tried to bribo tbc^d sexton not to ring the bell, but she foV"d that impossible. The hour drew nealMor tho execut ion. Tho preporationswereNcompleted. The officer* of the law bright forth the prisoner, and waited, \\\\n\ the sun was setting, for the signal froms.lho distant bell-tower. \ To the wonder of everybody it did not ring. Only one person at that mo incut knew why. .The poor girl-hersclf, half wild with the thought of'Jicr lover's peril, had rushed uoseoo up the win! ing stairs, and climl ed tho ladders into tho helfry loft and seizod tho tonguo of the hell. Tho old festen was in his place, prompt to the fatal moment. He throw his weight upon the ropo and the bell, obedient to j his practiced hand, reeled and swung to nnd fro in tho tower. But the brave girl kept her hold, aud ul bound issued from tho motallic lips. Again and again the sexton drew the rope, but with desperate strength tho young heroino held on. Every move went mudo her position more fearful, every bway of the b ill's huge weight threatened to fling her through the high tower window, but she would not let go At last the sexton went away. Old nnd deaf he had not noticed that tho curfow gave no peal. The bravo girl 7?. descended from the belfry, wounded and trembling. She hurried from tho chnrch to tho place of execution. Cromwell himself was there, and was just sending to demand why the bell was silent. She stvw him? ?"anther brow, . l.i'.tely white with eiokening horror, glows with hope and canrigo now; At Iiis feet she told her story, showed her bands all bruised and torn, And Ih;i sweet young face still haggard with tho anguish It had worn; Touched his heat t with sudden pity, lit his eyes With misty light "vios your lour liyi-9," " ' Cromwell "i-Vi-v ? il sd jjjit ring .* .tight," KEARNEY'S ^F^5f? ft & FLUID EXTRACT BUCHU! :. a .- ??
