In a little country school not far from Princeton, literary exer cises are regularly indulged in every Friday afternoon during tho term. A twelve-year-old boy read an original essay on "The Newspaper." This latter-day youthful Solomon treats his sub ject thus : "Newspapers are sheets of pa per ou which stuff to read is printed. The men look over tho paper to see if their names is iu it, aud the women use it to put on shelves and sich. 1 don't know how newspapers came into tho world. I don't think God does. Tho Bible says nothing about ed itors, and I never heard of one being iu heaven. I guess the ed itors is the missing link them fel lers talk about. Tho first editor I ever heard of was the fellow who wrote up the Hood. He has been here ever since. "Some-editors belong to church and some try to raise whiskers. All of them raise hell in their neighborhood, and all of them are liars; at least all I know, and I only know one. Editors never die. At least I never saw a dead one. Sometimes tho paper dies and liion people feel glad, but some oue starts it up again. Ed itors never went to school, because editors never got licked. Our paper is a mighty poor one, but we lake it so ma can use it ou our pantry shelves. Our editor don't amount to much, but paw says he had ji pour chance when he was a boy. T.e goes without under cloihos in winter, wears no socks aud lias a wif j to support .him. Paw hasn't paid his subscription iu live years, and don't intend to. " Princeton Record. A Fiendish Attack. An attack was lately made ou G. F. ('oilier of Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly proved fatal. It came through his kidneys. His back got so lame ho could not stoop without great pain, nor sit in a chair except propped by cush ions.

But the mau who held up tho car porter gave a yelp of delight: "See what I've found! Put 'em back! Start tho train!" "In the careless porter's vest pocket he had discovered a roll of bills as big as the pocket would hold. It looked as if there must have been several hundred dol lars. We all kuew of tho profit able rapaciousuess of tho Pull man car porter, but never dream ed that his accumulations were so large. Yes tho friendly, hu man spark of forgiveness and sympathy was iu our hearts for tho poor fellow losing so much at ono fell swoop.
