A Week Concluson.—Saturday night Weil " Posited."—The telegraph. That Tebeiblb Child.—A lady who was urging some friends to dinner felt disgusted when her eight-year-old son came in and said, " Mrs Jones says she can't spare no bread, and Mrs Fox ain't to home, so I didn't get any- butter." 3he friends thought they had better dine elsewhere, and the lady thought so, too, but she taught that boy that the way of the transgressor was hard.

Pbistehs' Wobk:—The Poughkeepsie Eagle, on "How Mistakes Happen in Newspapers/ says it is very rare that type furnished by two separate foundries can foe used together without a good deal of trouble, thought they try to make it after the same standard. We read once in a while of a wonderful piece of cabinet work or moasic work, containing ten, twenty, or fifty thousand pieces, the maker of which has spent months or eren years of labour in producing it, and people go to see it; as a great curiosity; but 'the most elaborate and carefully fitted piece of work of this kind ever made does not compare with that which the printer does every day. The man who does the first is looked upon as an artist—a marvel of skill, and if ft hundred of his pieces are put in wrong fide up, or turned wrong way, it is not; observed in the general effect; but if the printer, in fitting ten times as many "pieces together in the same day, putsi one where another should be, or turns one the wrong way, everybody sees it. and is amazed at " the •tupid carelesinesi of those stupid printtri."
