newspapers, writes articles on most
any subject, sets type, reads proofs,

people get into office [who forget all
about it afterwards] and frt quentiy
gets cheated out of ba'f his earnings.
He puffs and does more to build up
the town than any other body, and

“Follow this funeral,said tho mas
ter. They followed in the procession
until they came to the church yard.
While the service was being perform
ed the Friend sat in his gig ; at its
conclusion he walked to tho grave,
and ho exclaimed solemnly : “The
person now buried is innocent of the
crime laid to her charge 1” and then
returned to |tis gig.. An elderly gen
llemanjin deep mourning ctme up to
him in great agitation and said. “Sir,
what you said lias surprised me very
much." “I can’t help it, I can’t help
it," replied the other ; “1 only said
wlml I was obliged tossy.’’ “Well,”
said the mourner,, “The person jn-i
buried is my wile,' who tor some years
has lain under the suspicion of hfi
delily to me. No one else knew of it,
and on her deathbed she again pro
tested her innocence, ami said that it
