I have found them, as a rule, apt, obedient, steady and clever, and do not doubt, that in course of time and with proper education, they will make excellent printers. From the Tinsmith. "DEAR SIR, I think that you have not a boy in the Home better deserving of praise than Pedahjewun. He will make a first-class tinsmith.

Should the roof leak, for instance, you must not send for the nearest tiler or tinsmith; if the plaster cracks, you must not send for a plasterer. The man who built your house holds himself responsible for its condition; and he is jealous of that responsibility: none but he has the right to send for the plasterer, the roofer, the tinsmith.

Having come to this resolution, then, I called upon the landlord and inquired the rent. "O sir," said he, "the shop is let." "Let, sir!" replied I; "I saw a ticket on it yesterday." "That might well be, sir, for it was only let this morning." "And to whom, sir, is it let, may I ask? I mean, sir, what is his business?" "A tinsmith, sir," said the landlord, coolly.

It was Planchet, the tinsmith, who composed it! "He'd sit for hours in that big blue armchair, blinking at the fire, and then suddenly he'd come to earth and explain: "'Aunt Rose, what a pleasure to be here. "When finally he had to go back, he caught me and whispered in my ear, as I kissed him: "'Next time, Tante, you promise me not to invite any one, won't you?

The Janissary immediately bethought him of Avram, the tinsmith, and accused him as his informant, and the Chacham, satisfied, paid the sum and departed. Avram disappeared nobody knew where. The Chacham said that death had taken him for his own as a punishment for stopping him while on a journey. The accomplice of the Janissary came a few days later for his share of the money.

The driveway down to the lane was rolled and hardened, and a sign, painted by Joshua Bemis, the local "House, Boat and Sign Painter, Tinsmith and Glazier" see Mr. Bemis's advertisement in the Advocate was hung on a frame by the gateway. Captain Shad's remarks when he first saw that sign may be worth quoting. Mary had not consulted him concerning it; she deemed it best not to do so.

Once more the tinsmith came to my help and made me a body of tin, fastening my tin arms and legs and head to it, by means of joints, so that I could move around as well as ever. But, alas! I had now no heart, so that I lost all my love for the Munchkin girl, and did not care whether I married her or not. I suppose she is still living with the old woman, waiting for me to come after her.

It seemed an odd coincidence that, a few seconds after meeting the tinsmith, I should meet the little white-beavered lady. She was crossing the bridge. Her sister was not with her, nor the donkey, nor the man-servant. She was walking with a nurse, and she carried a big doll in her arms. The doll, as I have said before, was "got up" wonderfully like its mistress.

Anything new at the office?" "Yes, a great piece of news; another tinsmith has been appointed second chief clerk." She became very serious, and said: "So he succeeds Ramon; this was the very post that I wanted you to have. And what about Ramon?" "He retires on his pension."

"Another police preacher and organizer of violent plots was that well-known Friedeman who was driven out of Berlin, and, at the gatherings of comrades in Zurich, appealed to them, in prose and poetry, to commit acts of violence. A certain Weiss, a journeyman tinsmith, was arrested in the vicinity of Basel for having put up posters in which the deeds of Kammerer and Stellmacher were glorified.
