It was evident that my statement was believed, for silence was restored, and. I continued my 'xperiment The cheat was at length divided uto two parts. I raised them so that eaeh rej>esented a pedestal; I then placed them aside by ide, and oovered them with an enormous wicker ione, over which 1 threw a large cloth, on which abalistic signs were embroidered in silver.? fhis duly performed, I re commenced my little arce of magie circles and bombastic words, when uddenly the deep alienee waa interrupted by wo voices performing an exquisita duett beneath he black cloth.

There ia no other elasa of human beinge whose privileges arc so few, whose labor is so continuous, whose wages are so ipadequate, as printers. If i " typo " he a man of family, he is debarred of the privileges of enjoying their society at all Limes, because his hours qf labor are almost endless, and his moments of leisure so few that they must he spent to recruit his exhausted energies, ind prepare him for the renewal of Ids toils, i'oor fellow 1 he knows nothing of sociability* | ma u snut out troni tlie world as a convict in a prison cell.

Declaration of Independence and just half a century from the day of Declaration. The names of three of the seven end in sop, yet none of these transmitted his name to a son. In respect to the name of all, it may he said, in conclusion, the initials of two of the seven were the same; and the initials of still two others were the same.
