 THE subscribrr (of the late firm of Starr
 l & Lit,le) informs printers in general that he still continues the Albany Type Foundry at No. .62 South Pearl street in the city of AL bany. Type of all sizes, Cuts of all kinds. Brass Rule of first quality. and Printers Fur nture in general, constantly on hard. He is now cutting series nfletter, after the Scotch. type. which is noted for beauty and durabil-, ty. This type has never before been cut ill the United States, and is DOW introduced for the first time. Many printers labor under the impression that the superiority "f Scotch type consists in the metal used, This is not the case--it is entirely owing to the cutting ard shaping of the letter. It being rounded in the corners, gives additional strength to the hair marks, and renders letter of such cut deci- detlly superior to any other. Newspaper printers will find this type much more lasting in it's wear than that now used. V,
 Printers who have formerly dealt with Starr & Little are informed that sorts and additions for founts purchased from them. are cast by the subscriber, and him'only. For not only tacenty but for THIRTY Years he has been ac- lively engaged in casting letter, which. during that perind, has embellshed. and now does embtllisb, large number of the books and periodicals of the day.
 Orders respectfully solicited and thank fully received. RICHARD STARR.

FOR TEE LITcHFIELD ENQUIRER. THE SEA BIRDS SONG,

My home is away, on the dark blue bay, Where the ocean waters foam, And all the day, dance in the spray, That forms my rainbow dome. And from my breast, where the sun-beams rest off the waters fling, And chase the sun, til his course is run, Borne on, my uniir'd wing. My mate is the storm, and in the swarm or tempest-lossed clouds; Like queen l ride, and by my side. Roh'd in the darkest shrouds, Stern thunder site, and grOwls by 6ts, Whilst merriy sing, And call the blast which flies so fast, To bear me on his wing. I love the cline, where in white moon-shine, sing to ihe ocean maid And view !he deep, where she calmly sleeps, On her couch of coral laid. I survey her cave iH the ocean wave,
 With thousand emeralds hung, And the green sea gems and diadems
 That on it's sides are strung. In the earthquake shocks when the ocean rocks, And the pale moon reels aghast. Ani the stars are fled from iheir airy bed, Scar'd by the coming blast When the clouds are driven, in fragments riven, And the lightDings play between, And the fiery eyes of the red sunrise, Flash with their burning g!eam; turn my flight to the regions of light,
 Above the morning star; Where calm is ihe air, and unheard there
 The elemental war. With the Genii hold sweet converse bold,
 In their homes of upper air, And then again, when the red stars wanc,
 descend to the ocean fair. fly, with the stars, in their gi'ering cars,
 And gaze on the waters under, Nor stop then, till rest in the den
 Ofthe old earthquake thunder, And look down in ihe chaslD VI here with many spasI The volcano fires burn and spit, And shado TVS that f, on the heavens high wal Backward and forward fit. sit on the helm when the waters o'erwheln
 The stately vessel strong, When the tight-stretcl'd sail is rent in the gale, That bears 1t swift along When the tmher's crash, and the billow's dash
 Are joined in one wild roar, With the last cry of pain of him who in vain
 Strives for the distant shore, My nest is made of the sea-weeds laid
 Upon the ocean floor, And is rock'd in the blast as if rnshes past,
 On it way to the frozen shore; Or calmly it lies, whilst with wondering eyes, gaze on the water snakes, As specks of gold from each pended fold, Fall of in shining flakes. LhON.

SQUEEZING TIE HAND.

1t is but lately that we have under
stood the strange constructions that are
sometimes put upon the squeezes Of the
hand With some persons, it is entirely
equivalent to a declaration Of love this
is very surprizing indeed. We must
take hold of lady's hand as we would
hot potatoe, afraid to give it a squeeze
lest we should burn our fingers. Very
fine, truly!-Now it was our ancient GUS
tom TO squeeze every hand we got into
our clutches, especially fair one. Is ii
not a wonder that we have never been
sued for a breach Of promise' We would
give not scupper nail for one Of those
cold formal shakes of the hand.
Every person who produces one or two
fingers for you to touch (as if he were a
fraid Of catching some cutaneous disor-
der) should 60 to school to the weather
beaten sailor. He shakes your hand with
a vengeance, ,and shakes your whole body
with it unless you happen to be rs thick
set as himself. Well, there is nothing
like tit shows good heart at any
rate; and we should rather have our fin
gers crushed and our shoulders shaken
out Of joint, than that he should poke out
a reluctant paw, as if he were to como in
contact with bear or hyena.-The la.
dies may rest assured Of this, that man
who does not squeeze their hand when
he gets hold Of it, does not deserve to
have such hand in his possession-tha,
he has heart seven hundred and forty
times smaller than a grain Of mustard
seed.

And yet thought while they were cheering in spir-

They little know the dark suspense for those upon

The midnight gale has swept o'er thee its wild and

And its moaning came upou mine ear, like the

REVERSE OF FORTUNE.

Taylor, in the records Of his life, re-
lotes that Madame Marva, with whom
he was intimately acquainted, as great
singer, told him that she saw woman
sweeping the streets at Berlin, who had
been the chief singer at the opera in
Madrid. Vanity was the cause Of her
poverty. A rich jewel had been pre-
sentcd to the Queen Of Spain, who ad-
mired it much, but declared she coc.d
not afford to purchase it. The opera
singer bought it, for the foolish vanity OF
showing that she was richer than the
Queen. This act was deemed so pre-
sumptuous that the royal family withdrew
all patronage from the opera House
The common people of course inflated
the Court, and expressed their DISCUS,
wherever she appeared. She was there
fore obliged to leave Madrid, but th'
story followed her, wherever she went
and though her vocal talents were great
she was every where so i'll received, tha
at length all her pecuniary resource
were exhausted, and she sunk into th'
low condition of a street sweeper.
