FALLING IN LOVE.
How It Comes Abou t in a Printing Office.
NOTE FROM'eDITOR JTO COMPOSITOB.
Ellis York finds fault with proofs of
her story. Says "you correct her man-
uscript incorrectly;" that you have
substituted the word "wonderous" for
"wondrous" that there is no such word
as"wonderous;" that you made "over-
ripe" a single word when it is a com-
pound one; that in short you do not

mented.
NOTE FROM COMPOSITOR TO EDITOR.
Sm: Ellis Yorke is mistaken in more
points than one. There is such a word
as " wonderous. " Let her look in Web-
ster's Unabridged page 1523 first vol-
ume sixth line from the top and she
will find it. Also "overripe" is not a
compound word. Evidently she does
not know the signs by which compound
words are distinguished or she would
not be so decided in her assertions.
And with all due respect to her opin-
ion I am not "demented" and I do
understand my business. Furthermore
if mistakes are made it is because Ellis
Xorke's manuscript is most illegible.
Her Vs" and "s's" and "b's" are all
alike and her "I's" and "d's" might
stand for almost anything; and as for
punctuation!
I assure you I'd rather set up all the
rest of your paper than one of her short-
est articles.
note from ellis yorke to compositor.
Sib : The editor has shown me your
impertinent remarks and though he
chooses to look upon our quarrel as he
calls it in the light of a joke I regard
it as a serious matter.
Because you happen to be right about
those detestable words "wonderous" and
"overripe" that is no reason why you
should vilify my manuscript.
You may not be aware of it but I
took the gold medal for penmanship
when I graduated ot FoethaBte Institute
last year ; and never before although
I have been writing for the New York
press for over six months have I had
its legibility called in qnestion. And I
won't stand it I I de.nand from you cij
story as the editor refuses to procnro it
for ne. You ehill no longer sneer it

SOTE FROM COMrOSITOBTO ELLIS TOBKE.
Madam : I cannot return manuscript

how gladly I would return yours 1

Then I reeolved to beard tl:e lion in

liminary aarcastic observation reqneet

thing) with a terrible frown when to
my great astonishment instead of a
hateful old thing a tall.handtome young
fellow with sunshiny amilo eyes like
spring violets and hair that suggested
buttercups and dandelions advanced
toward me.
It was he and I said "I beg your
pardon for the rude things I have writ-
ten to you -and I hope you'll forgive
me and I'm sorry I write so badly' and
I dont know how to punctuate and "
Good gracious! I didn't intend to
say anything of the sort.
WHAT HE SAID.
I stepped from my cose and a pretty
girlish face looked up at me with a frown
that quickly molted away into a most
bewitching smile.
Ellis Yorke I I don't know why but
I knew her in a moment and noted
with 'a heart-pang how poorly the was
dressed to brave the cold of a .winter's
day. Evidently her "over six months'
writing for the New York press" had
not filled her purse.
"I beg your pardon" she said in a
eweet low voice raising a pair of the
loveliest gray eyes to my face. And
then she added "I'm sorry I write so
badly."
Don't mention it" I stammered "I
didn't mean a word of it. I only wish
I could set up your beautiful stories
forever."
"And the Vs"and "iV and Vs" and
"I's" and "b's?" said the saucy pretty
poor little girl.
"Are perfection" I replied.
The proof I sent away that afternoon a
dissertation on "Darwin and His Fecu-
lair Theories." was returned to me with
the question; "What the duce do . you
mean by placing Ellis Yorke's name as
author of this article instead of Dr
Megatherion Bluno?"
THE END OF IT.
Married' April 30th by Rev. A. B.
Ceese Ellis Yorke to Hugh Basset.

Be Diligent.
From the Burlington Hawkeye.
The diligent soul always possessed
the land. Not the man or woman who
steps into the dead man's shoes and a
fortune but the boy and girl who learn
in their teens what a dollar is worth
and how to gain and use a power that
money can not buy are the people
who move the world. Gifford the first
editor of the Quarterly Review was only
a common sailor; Ben Johnson was a
bricklayer; John Bunyan was a tinker;
Shakespear's father was so illiterate
that he didn't know how to spell his
son's name ; neither did his son and no
more do you for that matter; DeFoe
the author of Robinson Crusoe was al-
most wholly self taught; Edgar A. Poe
was the son of strolling players; Ben
Franklin the printer was the son of a
tallow chandler ; Sir Richard Arkwright
the inventor of the cotton spinning
machine was a barber; Tom Moore was
the son of a grocer; Gerald Masey be-
gan life as an errand boy; and Caxton
who set up the first printing press in
England was a weaver's apprentice;
John Adams was the son of a farmer;
President Lincoln was a farm hand and
a flat boatman ; Andrew Johnson was a
tailor; Grant was a tanner; Garfield
was a canaL boy none of these men
were renowned for their great wealth
Derhaps but they were diligent in their
business. and they stood before kings;
a long long ways before kings. There
is no particular merit in being a king.
Any man wno happens to be born at
right time into the right family cant
help being a king. But all kingcraft in
the world wouldn't make a DeFoe a
Hugh Miller a Burns or a Bunyaa if
the bov didn't make himself. It won't
be at all easy for you dearly beloved
to be "diligent in business." A man is
often very busy whoisn t at all diligent
in business. The most active man L
ever saw was a man who did less than
you would suppose ten men could do.

save bis own ; he spent the not of Lis
time in caucus and the rest of it in con-
rention and procession and yet when
you went into that man's cfSce there

time is too vtlnable to be wasted upon
him for nothing ho will waut it vnd

world will be glad that you lived io it
and society will miss you w hen you are
called up higher. Be diligent in your
business and the thousand and one
temptations that beset tho lazy man can
not be heard by you absorbed iu your
honest affairs. Be diligent and "rejoice
in your labor; this is the gift of God"
and "it is good and comely for one to
enjoy the good of his labor that he
taketh under the sun all the days of his
life ; for it is his portion. Be diligent
and rest and refreshing will follow your
toil for "the sleep of a laboring man is
sweet whether he eat little or much."
"Seest thou a man diligent in his busi-
ness ! He shall stand before Sings ; he
shall not stand before mean men." Cut
that text out my young brother and
paste it over your desk. It may save
your situafion. .
There will be no collection thirf
morr-'ng. If the sexton wants any
money from tho congregation he will
be a little more diligent in his business
