The editor of a weekly journal lately lost two of his sub- scribers through accidentally departing from the beaten track in his answers to correspondents. Two of his subscribers wrote to ask him his remedy for their respective troubles. No. 1, a happy father of twins, wrote to inquire the best way to get them safely over their teething. No. 2 wanted to know how to protect his orchards from the myriads of grasshoppers. The editor framed his answers upon the orthodox lines, but unfortunately transposed the two names, with the result that No. 1, who was blessed with twins, read, in reply to his query : “ cover them carefully with straw and set fire to them, and the little pests, after jump- ing about in the flames a few minutes, will speedily be settled.** While No. 2, plagued with grasshoppers, was told to “Give a little castor oil and rub their gums gently with a bone.”—From the Richmond Star. ONE DEFINITION OF A PRINTER. A gentleman, evidently having some knowledge of the printing craft, when asked what a printer was, replied as follows: “A printer is a man possessed of a devil, who, in the distribution often gets pi when he wants phat, which keeps him out of sorts.”—From the Inland Printer.
