Faust soon produced several editions of the Bible. He went to Paris, about this time, and it seemed so impossible, even to the monks, who were educated men, that he could make so many Bibles by human means, that they adopted the idea that he was in league with the devil. It is a curious fact, that most good inventions, of ancient times, were supposed to be produced by the help of the sable fiend. Certain it is that the charge of sorcery was so laid upon Faust that he was obliged to fly for his life. We may here add, that the art of printing, which has done more for mankind than any other human art, not only thus brought the life of one of its first and ablest promoters into danger, but it has been the special object of persecution from the day of its invention to the present time. We shall pursue this subject in another number. Comparison BETWEEN GOOD AND BAD HOUSEWIFERY. BY THOMAS TUSSER, WHO DIED 1580. Ill huswifery lieth Till nine of the clock: Good huswifery trieth To rise with the cock. Ill huswifery trusteth To him and to her: Good huswifery lusteth Herself for to stir. Ill huswifery careth For this, nor for that: Good huswifery spareth For fear ye wot what. Ill huswifery pricketh Herself up in pride: Good huswifery tricketh Her house as a bride. Ill huswifery one thing Or other must crave; Good huswifery nothing But needful will have. Ill huswifery moveth With gossip to spend: Good huswifery loveth Her household to tend. Ill huswifery brooketh Mad toys in her head; Good huswifery looketh That all things be fed. Ill huswifery bringeth A shilling to naught: Good huswifery singeth―― Her coffers full fraught. Ill huswifery rendeth And casteth aside: Good huswifery mendeth Else would it go wide. Ill huswifery craveth In secret to borrow; Good huswifery saveth To-day, for to-morrow. Ill huswifery pineth, Not having to eat Good huswifery dineth With plenty of meat. Ill huswifery letteth The devil take all: Good huswifery setteth Good brag of a small. [Illustration] An Equinoctial Storm; or, Adventures of a Hat. About the 20th of March and the 20th of September, of each year, the day and night are of equal length, all the world over; that is to say, the day is twelve hours long and the night twelve hours long. The sun appears at this time to pass from east to west, around the middle of the earth, or over the equator. If you were at Quito in South America, or anywhere near the equator, either on the 20th of March or the 20th of September, the sun would appear, at noon, to be exactly over your head.
