QUAKER PRINTERS' PROVERBS.
£. . Never send an article for publica- I tion without giving the editor thy ' name, for thy name often secures publication to worthless articles. Neither do thou loaf about, nor knock down type, or the boys will love thee as they do the shade trees—when thou leavest. Thou shouldst never read the copy on the printer's case, or the sharp and hooked container thereof, or he may knock the down. Never inquire of the editor for news, behold it is his business to give it to tneo at the appointed time without asking for it. It is not right that thou shouldst ask him who is the author of an article, for it is his duty to keep such things unto himself. JVLjjvn thou dost enter his office, take ' liee; ( ur.to thyself that thou d/sst not look at what concerns thee not, tor that is not meet in the .sight of good feeding. Neither examine, thou the proofsheet, fur it is not ready to meet thine eye that thou niayest understand. Thou shnulds.!. nut delude thyself with the thought that thou hast saved a few cents when thou hast secured n deadhead copy of his paper, for whilst the printer may smile and say it's ah right, he'll never forget thy ineanius.;.
