A COUNTRY EDITOR'S TROUBLES
BY PAIIMENAS 31IX,
The typo's all plc! pocketed their rules
(There were but three upon 'the papr
then;). ~:;II
And lounging idly on the office stools,
Surveyed the _"Colouel," 'typo •'kith busy
Was dashing off a leader for bis• sheet,
Entitled, "Dullnips at ,tha County Seat."
'Twits Saturday and six o'clock. The.boys
Were waiting: fur their slender weeklY pay;
Alas ! that: bugaboo which, so annoys
The country printer and Obstructs his way.
It type could set themselves hi. 4 course would
seem - .
As calm and pleasant as a Summer dream.
h, half an hbut passed by—still toiled the
scribe ;
Ideas'seemed"to Ayitli wondrous ease . —
Still, it we might belieye,ii current gibe,
Which,,.hinted .hat; . . ,the writer crossed his
t's . . -
With sweeping lines' that ran' across the
Sheet;
His pen, altis I produced more chaff , than
wheat,
The clock struck sevep. Then the typo's all,
Of muttered' thr eats of quitting then and
there, •
Filed slowly out into the'dingy.
And started down
,!the weli-wom dace
• stair. •• • ,
Just here a.whistie from the sanctum sent'
A thrill:of hope • thrtiugh . , and Aiack
..thq, went.
"Well, boys," began .the • scilibe, "rpi\painecl
to 'say :
That prospects tire not ilattering:to-night . ;
rve tailed to.rajse,a single ,bent to-day,
And, consequently,fundS . ,are rather tight-=
This crushing news undoubtedly will fall
Upon yOuraspiratiOns Ilk's a Pall.
"But bear up' bravely—What is , that you
sai&--- • '
I'm owing you a heap of money now ?
Atsk truer statement never left your head.
I've used You badly, that 1 must allow,
But think of Joh . and meekly bow to fate—
. In short, just learn to labor and—to wait.
"I must confess that I sincertly grieve
TO see you placed in this nlovely strait,
But toss your head and make yodr . friends
believe
That lots of lucre prompts your buoyant
gait ;
Don't leave me, gents—continue sti,i 'to
strive— ' -
You've.money, coming atuliit may ar ive."
Then spoke the typo's, almost in chorus ;
"This . working, for, a ipan without - the
stamps "
Is most too. thin and just a trifle pirous- 7
We fail t 4 o see it, Colonel, 'in those lamps P
We've lived on hope, with now and then a
cracker,
For thee long weeks, and during ail that
tim
By jingo ! we've had to do 'without tobacker,
And.. we've concluded that we'd better

Thodoor here opened and a robust party,
Game in, who, pulling out his pocketlbook,
Exclaimed in tones.encot4ging and hearty ;
"'There, that's my. I reckon, please to
' look !"
He didn't stop to read the Colonel's leader,
Or pocket some exchange on the sly,;,
He left like you or I woula. gentle reader—
That's hke a gentlerty r;t(how's that tor

The Colonel raised his patron's timely. favor

And said, in tones that hid of pride a savor:

MYSTERIOUS Sr - NDS.
Perhaps the Most %miller of mysterious
sounds are those produced by the ventriloquist;
familiar becatise almost every county fair is vis
ited by one or more of these exhibitors; mys
terious because the real source of sound does .
Dot correspond with the apparent.
,It Bee with
in the province of the anatomist or physiolo
gist to explain why t it is that some men can
Speak from the stomach instead of frOm- the
throat, and without any, perceptible movement
of the lips ; but the person who can do thlicthe
yentriloquiit ; may-make'himself a -Most be
wildering deceiver of those who listen to him.
Our power of determining the exact direction
whence a sound comes is less than we usually
imagine. It is said that Saville amp, who
could well imitate the Whistling of the wind,
would sometimes amuse , herself by exerting ;
this art in a Public Coffee house'; some of the
guests at once rose to see iVlietheil the Windows
were quite closed, -while others livould button

The'fragments of graphite: are ground fine,

with powdered graphite in various proportions,

Tor a soft one, and, intermediate "mixtures' for

grooves in an othehvise smooth board, dried id
the mould by •fli, moderate heat, then taken out,
and baked in covered crucibles in a futtance.
Sometimes the dough is compressed in a strong
receiver and forced out through a small hole in
na thread of the shape 'required, then : dried and
baked as above.; 1 1
The grade of litt lead depends also partly up
on the degree o heat to which it is exposed in
the furnace. ILpS intended for very fine work,
like architectural drawing, etc., are reheated -af
ter the baking and immersed in melted wax or
suet. .
