BETTER LITE TfliS NEVER.
Life is a race where some succeed,
While others, are beginning ;
'Tis luck at times, at others speed,
That gives an early winning.
But if you chance to fall behind,
Ne'er slacken your endeavor,
But keep this wholesome truth in mind,
'Tis better late than never.
If you can keep ahead, 'lis well,
But never trip your neighbor ;
'Tis noble when ton can excel
By honest, patient labor
But if you are outstripped at last,
Press on as bo'd as ever :
Remember, thongh you are surpassed,
Tis belter late than tever.
Ne'er labor for an idle boast
Of victory o'er ano'.her ,
Bnt while ou strive your mtermost,
Deal fairly with a broihf
Whate'er your station, do jowbeit,
Antl hold your purpose ever ;
And if you fail to beat the rest,
'Tis better late than never.
Choose well the path in whjch you run,
Succeed by Bobleilaring ;
Then, iho' the last, when once 'tis won,
Your crown is worth the wearing.
Then never fret il left behind,
Nor slacken your endeavor.
But ever keep this truth in mkid
'Tis belter late than never.
"IT'S BENEATH ME."
" I tell you it's beneath me, and I shall
not go. 1 didn't marry you to be made to
sit down with ail the common people in
Mexworlh. My lather was an apothecary,
and I know what's due o myself too well
to disgrace my family ; ar.d that's all abont
it, Sam," said Anne Rogers to her hus
band one erenrug towards the end of the
honey moon.
''Bui they are not law people," quietly
remarked Sam, as soon as his wife's volu
bility had a little expended itself. "They
are honest, industrious, well mannered
folks as any in the whole town."
"They are low people," retorted the lady.
! Didn't Mrs. Perkin's mother sells nuts and
apples at the corner of the street, and was
her father anything belter than a journey
men 1 It's nothing because Joe was your
fellow servant that you want me to demean
myself lo people like that I wonder you
haven't more proper pride than to forget
that you were butler when he was groom.
But if you have not dignity enough be
longing to you, 1 have, and that you'l! find,
Mr. Rogers."
Sam was pretty certain it was a desper
ate case, for his wife bad only once before
honored him with this form of address. He
stuck his hand), ihereiore, into his pockets
with a hopeless air; but not to be beaten
without a struggle, began once more, with
a "Bat my dear Anne"
"But my dear Anne has got a will of her
own about some things," was the impatient
reply, "and that's one; so joucan tell the
Pelkinses not lo expect me."
Half in terror, half in anger, her hus
band took up his hat, and hastened into the
street. I
Thank God that eyerywhere, even in the
busiest thoroughfare? of our busy towns, '
the sweet freshness of the summer evening
may be fell by those who seek it. It seems '
as a messenger, sent to smooth the rufHIed
brow of the angry and careworn, and to
bring fresh bloom into the faded cheek of
the sickly and the sad. Il is certainly our
own fault, if we do not come in of a sum
mer's night happier and better than we go
out; and so Sam, thought as he felt ihe
breeze upon his forehead. Accordingly, he
had not gone far before his anger had sub
sided, and his tenderness for his wife came
back.
4'I knew the was high, before I married
her," he remarked to himself, "so I have
no cause to be surprised. She's high but
then she has a kind heart at the bottom.
Who can tell whether I mayn't get her to
see as I do, if Iv'e only patience for a bit?"
True, Sam: if you have patience you
may fairly expect it. We wish you success,
with all our hearts. We shall be glad too,
if you do succeed, of a lilUe advice from
you; for, unfortunately, not a day passes
over our head but some good undertaking
is spoiled in the beginning, for want ot ho
ping and trying a little longer.
Will Sam's be spoiled ? is, however, the
question at present. I think not, for con
scious that be had patience, and a good
deal for his time of life, he quickly made
up his mind what course to adopt. This
was, not to try to overturn his wife's pride
by direct attack; but, like a skilful general,
investing some fortified place to sap and
undermine it at the foundations.
By the lime he reached home, the cloud
bad passed away from Anne's face, and, in
a cheerful voice, she asked ilhe were ready
for supper.
- During the meal, conversation went on
briskly; and Sam took an opportunity of
remarkink that be thoaght his wife would
have a visitor in a day or two; for he had
heard thai his old mistress and kind friend,
Mrs. Coortenay had come back from Lon
don, and she told him just before she went
that she would call and see him as soon as
she returned. J
"Well, I'm sureit's very kind, and I shall !
be uncommonly pleased to see her," said '
Anne. "I hope she will look in of an even
ing, though; I shonld not like a lady to
catch me in my dirty trim.''
"As to dirty, that you never are, said her
husband, turning a pleased look on the tidy
figure beside him. "1 believe," added he,
somewhat more drily, "that it's you she
comes to see. and not your new gown ; but
I dare say she wouldn't mind going up and
looking in the drawers, if you asked her.''
Anne, who had a quick sense of the ridi
culous, was moreamused than angry at
this speech, and f fesnVy. after turned the
conversation. myJ
The following evening when Sam came
home to tea, be heardthat Mrs. Courtenay
had just called ; and found bis wife in ex
treme delight at the kind and good-natured
her visitor.
liked so much," said Anne ''was
iiifteomiug right up to the table instead of
standing just in by the door. And then she
sat down on her chair there just as if she
had been in her own drawing-room and
talked away to me as kind as though 1
were her equal "
What did the talk about V inquired
Sam.
"About you, mostly what a good ser
vant you used to be, and what a good hus
band she haJ thought you'd make. And
than she asked all about my family where
mother lived and how many sisters I had
married, and lots of things besides. But il
was not' said Anne, warming with her
subject, "i. was noi so much of the things
she said as the pleasant manner she had
witb her, ami then he shook hands so
heartily when she went away."
A halfsmile passed over Sam's face, as
he quietly remarked, "She did not seem as
if she thought it was beneath her to come to
see you then ? '
Anne made no reply , nnles a deep blnsh
can be considered as such; and her husband
wisely refrained from pressing her any far
ther. This was Wednesday evening. Friday
morning, at breakfast, Mrs. Rogers a"ked
her husband whether he had eaid anything
yet to ihe Perkinses.
"No: 1 have not seen Joe"; but I expect
to do so this evening, and I must give him
an answer then. What had I better say ?"
"That we will go," said his wife, without
the smallest hesitation ; and the husband
felt himself rewarded for his forbearance.
The evening of the visit soon came ; and
Anne, dressed in her wedding gown, ac
companied her husband.
To her surprize she found Mrs. Perkin's
house, thoogh smaller than her own, not
merely clean, bni the very pic:ure of com- j
fort. It had a most unusual luxury in this !
part of the town several pots of balsams!
and fuchias in the siuing-toom window; and
the room itself was hung with various pen- ;
cil drawings, the work of ihe Misses Cour- i
tenay, by whom they had been presented :
to Joe on his marraige. J
In putting on her bestbonnel and gown,'
Anne had also put on her most dignified j
manners. For the last three days she had
been weighing the difference of rank be- ,
tween the daughter of a journeyman and .
that of an apothecary , and it was, as im- !
portant in her opiniong, that this difference .
should be felt in its precise degree at their ;
first meeting, as it is in the eyes of a sol-
emn conn usher that at some grand cere
monial the precedence of an earl over a ba
ron shall be carefully observed. j
You will wonder perhaps, that as Anne
was sufficiently moved by Mrs. Cosrtenay'a :
example to go at ail if she did not go in a '
more humble spirit. Unfortunately, to many i
of us, this is no mystery. Her inborn in- j
visible enemy had received a sharp blow,
it is true ; but it had driven him from ihe
outworks into the citadel. There he took .
up a stronger position than before ; and but j
for God's blessing on a nature hottest and j
kindly in the ftiain, il would have gone j
hard but he would once more have regain-
ed the master) .
Anne, then, went prepared to be royally J
gracious, and to patronize Mrs. Perkins, if
she found her agreeable; but her plans!
were disconcerted, and by a very simple
eourse Mrs. Perkins was a person who ,
could not be patronized. Happily in most
circles her counterpart is to be met with, so i
a 6hort description will enable my readers J
to recognize her. When you see a woman i
quietly doing her daily work, without seek- i
ing for excrement, content to live and die j
unknown, if it so please her Father in heav
en, when you see one who feels that in
doing ihe bumble duties of every daj life
she is as great, in the sight cf God, as the !
conquerer in ihe battle-field or the lawgiver j
in the senate, there you see one whose j
manner is full of true dignity and whose!
countenance beams with true happines,
then you have the picture of many noble
woman amongst others of my Iriend Mary
Perkins. ' - j
"What a lady she would make I" said
Anne to her husband, as ihey walked slow-!
ly borne by the light of the moon. j
"What a lady she is " he quickly replied, i
"Yes, all the fine clothes in the world could j
not make her more so. All they could do S
would be to help other people to see it:
but it's a poor traveler that can find noplace

"Not wicked, but he ought to be better

"No mother," said Johnny, looking at

he asked again.
"No," said Johncy, opening his eyes

The London Times in 140.
The printing ofa daily newspapers inthe me'
ropolis is a distinct branch from that of brint
ing books and jobs, and is governed by differ
ent rules and regulations, so as to require a
separate account of the process. The rou
tine of business is uniform and regular,
without that variety which occurs in a book
house. The qualifications requisite for a
compositor on a newspaper are : Punctu
ality, quickness in composing, and clean
proofs so that no delay may take place
from the deficiency of any one individ
ual. As the London Times is one of lhe7 largest
daily papers in Europe, and as it is printed
in a smaller type, and containes more
matter than any other, it consequenly re
quires and employs more people to prepare
it lor publication ; and as it is generally ac
knowledaed to be one of ihe be-l conducted
papers lor the arrangement of i s matter,
and :he punctuality ot its publication, j
have selected it to give as a specimen ol
the manner of printing a daily morning
newspaper in London.
The compositors employed to compose
this great mass of intelligence day by day ,
and every day throughout the year, Satur
day excepteJ, there being no publication
on Sundays, are seventy-five, who are di
vided into two classes, viz. : the night or
news hands, and the advertisement hands
The first class consists of 33, who are di
vided into full hands, 14; supernumeraries,
10; assistants, 15; to these may be added
10 ''outsiders," who fill the frames of ab
sentees in cases of sickness, or from other
causes: ihey are not considered pe
longing to ihe establihment, inasmuch as
they hold nc situation, and are consequen
tly dependent upon the workmen. The
advertisement department consists of 36
hands.
As it is desiratle not to have to distribute
letter after copy is taken, the compositors
usually put iheir leiter in after all the corn
posing is completed, or take ihe oppertun
ity while waiting for copy, lo be ready for
the evening, or else they attend sooner in
the afternoon than the usual hour, lor that
purpose.
The full hands take copy at bix o'clock in
the evening, precisely and go on withoul
regard to the old rule of first work and
finish, and the day's work is considered
to be completed at the expiration of eleven
hours, five o'clock in the morninz; if en
gaged after that time all hands are paid by
the hour, ihe printer never availing ,himie!f
of the ehoice of beginning an hour later

compose two galleys each per night, and
all over lines are paid for extra, even
though they are conoed within the time
prescribed by the rules laid down for lhe
guidance of compositors.
The supernumeraries are expected to
compose one galley each per night, and all
over lines are paid for extra, the same as
with the toll hands.
" The full hands have each ihree pairs of
cases Nonpareil, Minion, and Borgeois;
and as the most advantageous' matter is
generally set up in the smaller type, they
claim the benefit of it as an equivilant for
the labor Of putliog the tones to the ma

continue to work till all is composed; an
should there be sny standing still for copy,
they are alloweJ at the rate of a quarter
cr paey per hoor for B lhe tjme ,hey may
have lost durins- the night. The assistant
have no stated salary, but are paid by the
galley, and share the same advantages as
the supernumeraries, no distinction being
made in the giving out of copy.
The compositors in the news department
have the privilege of composing a consid-
erable quantity of extra, or "back" matter
to enable the printer io have at all times a
resource in case o.' accident. This extra:
copy is given out and divided into half gal-,
ley shares, and taken in rotation thus pre
venting monopoly and favoritism.
As there is an emense quantity of letter
in use, the division of which for distribution ,
would occasion loss of time, and Irequent
disputes, the companionship pay a man to
lay op the forms, mark the letter for each
individual, Bnd distribute the useless'
heads. An is also answerable for the clear
ance of the board.
Each compositor has a hnmber attached
to his frame, and when he takes copy, bis
number is placed on the back of bis copy;
so that each man's matter is immediately
identified ; and in case of a foul proof
or an out that will occasiot much trouble,
it is immeditaely handed to him wbo com
posed it without furher inquirry, which
prevents an exposure and annoyance to the
individuel. The copy is marked with pro
gressive numbers, which prevents confu
sion by enabling the compositor to know
with certainty whom he follows in coco-,
position, and to emty his stick in the prop,
er galley so as to join the preceding mat-,
ter.
As the matter is composad it is taken, a
galley at a time, by the printer, and made
up into columns ; a proof of the column is
then pulled upon the galley by one of the
compositors, wbo all take it in turn; it is
then given to the reader ; af er being attent
ively read and corrected, it is returned to
the compositors to make the correction,
wbo take it in turn, two and two ; the col
unin is divided into four, the first and third
parts, and the second takes the second and
forth parts, and be who is the last in mak
ing his corrections, pulls a second proof,
which is carefully revised, and when the
revise is corrected the matter is ready for
the paper. It thus goes on, column
after column, till the whole papei is
composed, when it often occurs that the
arrival of foreign intelligence increases the
quantity considerably ; matter of less im
mediate interest is, in this instance, taken
away, and kept as back matter lor a luture
day, to make room for the latests intelli
gence. If lhe first compositor has six or nlore
lines to compose of copy that he has in
hand, he finishes il before he commence
correcting , this regulation is adopted to
prevent any interruption or delay in the
progress ofgeuing the paper out.
The full hands take in turn to correct the
revises, lock up the forms, and take I hern
to be worked off.
The advertisement department is not
regulated after the same manner as the
news department, there being co distinc
tion of graOes, nor any fixed salaries; nor is
there any, precise lime of commencing
work, the uncertainty as to the time of ad
vertisements being received at lhe office'
rendering it an impossibility to appoint any
regular hour for beginning. The composi
tors are paid by the galley, not according to
the scale of prices fixed for morning papers.
The method adobted in this part of the es
tablishment in taking copy is the same as
in other offices the first out of copy takes
first, and so on, and as the compositors
come out of copy their numbers are placed
on a slate, which prevents disputes or con
fusion. The compositor marks his copy by
putting his initials on the back of it; so that
if any gross error be committed, and re
mains uncorrected a wrong number in &
reference, for instance it can immediately
be ascertained whocomposed it, and either
he reader or compositor is held responsible
for that advertisement duty, the proof de
ciding which is to pay the fine for negli
gence. The salary ol a fall hand is 2. 8 per
