The call ction here submitted is the result of a year or two's hoarding,, and I have the less compunction in publishing it because the average "comp." is rather contemptuous of readers, (His attitude toward authors, loo excepting, perhaps, for a "comp.," failing to decipher a word in a piece of "enpy?" to take counsel with a colleague, who, after an unfruit fol survey, will advise him to "make it what is looks most like, and leave it to the [condemned] reader."

Shortly afterwards the "comp." entered the reading-closet, and, banging the proof as the desk, with much acerblyf expression, demanded: Where the blazes is that wrong fount letter you've marked here?" When with excessive, but unappreciated, urbanity had explained the real signification of the car rection, he departed, murmuring a benediction
