TOM TYPQ.
Tom Typo was a printer good,
A merry, cheerful elf;
And whatsoever care he had,
Ho still composed—himself.
Where duty called him he was found
Still working in his place:
But nothing tempted from his post—
Whioh really was the ease.
He courted pretty Emma Gray,
One of earth's living gems—
The sweetest Em. he used to say,
Among a thousand ems.
So chased was Emma's love for Tom,
It met admiring eyes;
She proved a copy to her sex,
And wanted no revise.
And Tom he kept his pages clear,
And grew to be a type .
Of all that manhood holds most dear,
When he with age was ripe.
He made his last impression "here
While yet his heart was warm,
Just in the nt'c/e'closcd his career,
And death looked tip his form.
He sank into his final rest
Withont one sign or moan;
His latest works—"Above my breast
Place no imposing stone."
—Canadian Printer and Publisher.

I'Uaad'-lphia, I- '
Of all tbe bonds, tbat of sisterly
affection ougbt to be nearest and
tenderest, according to all the dic-
■ tales of nature.—Yet, nevertheless,
wben Myra Dollard came lionie to
live, ber five sisters eyed her as
dubiously as five guinea fowls
might eye a speckled partridge
wbo has fluttered unexpectedly into their poultry yard.
Fifteen years ago, wben Aunt
Dorcas Dollard came from the
State of Rhode Island to visit her
brother in New Tork, sbe had taken the middle daughter borne witb
ber to bring up.
"Six girls are too many for any
household," said she; "and the old
house at home is empty and silent.
I'll take one back with me." .
"Which one?" asked Mrs. Dollard, with rather an alarmed look
at her flock.'
"Ob, we'll draw lots for that,"
said Aunt" Dollard.
The lot fell to Myra. Consequently, Myra, a dimpled dumpling of fonr years, returned to
Rhode Island with Aunt Dorcas,
and the home circle knew ber no
more. Now the old lady was* dead,
and Myra had come back to her
father's house.
Hasn't she grown tall?" said Eugenia, wbo was herself inclined to
be short and stocky.
"Isn't she pretty?" said Jeau-
nie, wbo had been christened
Jane."
-"Not exactly ■pretty," pronounced
fastidious Marian, "but stylish—
yes, quite stylish."
"But she don't know anything
about the piano," whispered Nell.
"And she thinks oor Kensington-
stitched lambrequins are hideous—-
and she was going to help Bridget
with the dishes, only mamma stopped her jnst in time."
"And ber gowns are all last season's cut!" said Adelaide, turning
up her Greek nose.
Myra, on her side, had ideas also.
"Why, said she, "you girls don't
do anything!"
"Yes, we do," said Jeannie,
-"Lots of things."
"We praetice," said Nell, "and
we embroider."
"And We go into society," added
Marian, "and we read all tbe newest literature."
"Oh!" said Myra. "Father is
wry rich,. I suppose?"
"No, be isn't:,." sighed EngVBftia.
"How funny you do talk, Myra.
His income is horridly small • and
it's growing smaller every year
since there's so mnch competition
in the manufacture of wall paper.
We're as poor as church mice."
"Then," said Myra," "why don't
yon do something ? To help bim,
I mean."
The. girls looked blankly at each
otber,
"It wouldn't do," said Nell. "We
should loose our position in society."
"Ob, bother society!'*1 said Myra.
Trflly this new-comer was more
partridge-like than ever in the family of guinea fowls.
"Mother," said Myra, "I'll make
tbe desserts; it costs too much to
order them from the confectioner's.
Yon don't know what nice pies and
custards I can make!"
"But, my dear, what will Bridget
think."
"What does it matter what she
thinks?" said independent Myra.
"And look here, mother; the Chinese laundry bill was three dollars
last week and Ave tbe week before.
After this I'm going to do up my
own frilled things and I'll show the
girls how to do theirs."
"Ob, my dear, you can't!'' said
Mrs. Dollard.
"Why can't I ?" said Myra. "I
always used to do Aunt Dorcas'
tine things. She wouldn't trnst
any one else."
"But Parsley Farm wasn't New
i York."
"And Dollard is such an uncommon name." said Adelaide. "People will be sure to identify her
with ns.-*'
"I won't own her for a sister,"
said Marian, indignantly.
"I don't think!" cried Eugenia,
"that mamma ought to allow it!"
And with one accord the five
Dollard girls sent their sister to
Coventry.
"Father," said Myra, coming
home one evening with a radiant
face, "I've got snch a nice situation ! Through Mrs. Hartcobe's
office."
"A situation, my dear f What
kind of a situation?"
"Housekeeper, father!"
"I'm afraid, Myra, your sisters
won't like it."
"That's very likely father," said
the partridge, shrugging her shoulders, "but I'm going to be a housekeeper all the same, in Doctor
Vivian's Sanitarium. Mrs. Vivian is an invalid, you see, and lives
at the sea-side—and I'm to take
entire charge of everything, with
six servants nnder my orders. To
receive tbe lady patients, you
know, and take the head of the table and keep the accounts and give
out the linen, and all that sort of
thing—and I am to receive twenty-
five dollars a month, and I'm sure,
father, I can spare yon twenty every month. It will pay Bridget's
wages, and help with that outrageous laundry bill!"
Nell flew upstairs to her room,
•only stopping to hug and kiss Jean-
Hie. It was true then. Colonel
Harper Dale did call for her!
Mrs. Dollard thought that under
the circumstances they were quite
justified in ordering Nell's trousseau.
"Snch things take so long,*" said
she. "And if Colonel Dale goes to
Europe in the fall, as people say
he will, he'll want to start off with
very little notice. It couldn't do,
any harm to be ready."
Bnt Mr. Dollard shook his head.
"Wait until he has formally pro
posed," said Mr. Dollard.
Colonel Dale, as it happened,
proposed that very afternoon, in
the little hack office at Mr. Dollard's place of business.
"Yoa are aware, sir, of my poor
sister's death," said he, "and you
can probably understand that it
has made me restless and anxious
for a change. I sball visit Europe
earlier than I had originially intended, and, with your permission
and her consent, I sball take your
daughter with me as my wife."
Mr. Dollard's heart leaped within him.
"Of my permission, Colonel,"
said he, "you'may be very stare.
As to my girl's consent—-hat
you'll have to find out for yourself."
"I will go to her at once," said
Colonel Dale.
Mr. Dollard was delayed at hia

I should think .Eugenia and Jeannie and Nell and Marian and Addy would be ashamed of themselves. What do they think is (going to become of them ?
"My girl what becomes of all tbe
girls?" reasoned Mrs. Dollard.
"They'll marry, of oourse."
"Is it 'of coarse'?" said Myra,
thoughtfully.
"Mr. Roper is very attentive to

Just then the bell rang, and in
