UCH, uCCiaiC uoCtoIS ana lawyers
knew had cases, but never knew that prn-
tiers had before.
Certainly, madam; they sometimes are
foul cases, and hard cases, too; but what
can be expected Of those who lead the lives
OF deyils9


Why, do they Pm sorry to hear tt
Do tell me what that man is filling that
trough with water for.
He's going to wet the paper, you know
Oh, yes! Thought you always sprinkled
your papers and ironed them to make them
look 50 smooth; and ! suppose this great
gallows looking machine is your mangle.
That's the press, madam; and this handle
here is the Archimedcan lever, which moves
the world. Just notice its power, you per-
ceive that it's a broken ever--


Why in the world, then, don't you have
it mended? !? The men arealways so slack;
but what are those things that resemble
long picture frames'


Those are what we term galleys.


You have galleys, hey' didn't know
that the printers were SO much like the
Romans before.
Look yonder-what's that boy doing,

Well, | should think handful of pie
would not be much among so many What
are you going to do with these slips of
printed paper,


These are proofs, and we are obliged to
read them; won't you sit down and help
us


No, indeed can't bear 10 read any
kind of proof, unless sometimes for trials,
for breach of promise. don't believe the
ladies would make very good printers.


Pardon us, madam, but we think they
would; their slender fingers would be the
very things for handling Small Caps, Non
Pareil, Diamond, and Minion; they might
do well eveh with Long Primer.


Pshaw don't mention ii !; never could
abide the name Of the long primer since ma
used to make me learn the catechism out of
it. Goodness gracious if / havn't spoiled
my gloves by touching some Of your old
types What dreadful thing it would be
TO get your ink on a ,lady's hand Good
morning.
