PRINTERS PROVERBS.

Never inqu thou of an Editor for the
news, for behold it is his duty at the appointed
time to give it unto thee without asking.
When thou dost write for his paper, never
say unto him, "What thinkest thou Of my
piece :" for it may be that the truth might Of
fend thee.
1t is not fit that thou should ask of him who
is the author of an article; for his duty re-
quire him to keep such things to himself
When thou dost enter into printing Office,
have care to myself that thou dost not touch
the type, for thou mayest cause the printer
much trouble.
Look not at the copy which is in the hands
of the compositor for that is not meet in the
sight Of the printer. ...
Neither examine thou the proof sheet, for
it is not ready to meet the eye, that thou may
est understand it. -.
Prefer thy town paper to any other sub
scribe Immediately for it, and pay in advance,
that it may be well with thee and thy little
ones.

The american in Paris-The Americans
have strong and decidedly original turn for
satirical humor; and in the application of it
they do not spare their own foibles, much
less those Of other nations. We understand
this quality has never been displayed with a
more piquant and amusing effect than in
work which is on the point Of making its ap-
pearance, entitled "The American in Paris.'
The ostensble object Of the work is that of
supplying view Of the moral, social, and in
tellectual condition of the capital Of France
under her new institutions: but this is said to
be done in spirit which spares neither rank
nor sex, and which offers to the world the
most severely true picture Of Paris society
that has yet been drawn.-EngKsh paper.

The Endof The ,corld-Two or three clergy
men have recently put forth works predicting
the arrival Of the end Of the world sometime
between 1910 and 1850 To all such pro-
phecies we have hitherto been incredulous !;
but are free to confess that facts like the fol-
lowing, which we cut from the Boston Times,
are strongly corroboratve Of the truth of these
predictions. When tailors and printers who
work on trust, begin to be paid, the symptom
is indeed alarming.
A gentleman now residing in this city, who
formerly published paper in Connecticut,
has recently received a letter from an old de-
linquent subscriber, forking over the money
due, and expressing the utmost remorse OF
conscience for having SO long deprived him Of
his just dues. What blot will be wiped out
from the fair face Of creation, when men shall
understand distinctly that cheating poor
printer is an objectionable sn.--.N. Y. Sun.

Rer. Sydney Smith.-The London Quar-
terly, in review by Boz, quotes many good
things Of this witty divine's. The following
anecdote, not among the rest, is too good to
be lost if il be authentic, as told by former
American minister at the court of st. James.
At one Of the Holland house Sunday dinner
parties many years ago, Crockford's club,
then forming, was talked Of, and the noble
hostess observed that the female passion for
diamonds was surely less ruinous than the
rage for play among men; upon which sgd
ney Smith wrote the following impromptu SER
monet most appropriately on a card
Thoughtless that all that's brightest tades;"
Unmndful of that knare of spades, ~.
The sexton and his subs;
How foolishy we play our parts;
Our Btpes on diamonds set their hearts,
We set our hearts on clubs!

Pathos and Bathos,-The following from the Mis-

pathos and bathos united, as we have seen for some
time
The Indian Mofher-When the garrison at Fort
Atkinson Council Bluffs had been several years at that
station a soldier who had been sometime married to an
Omaha squaw required to furnish his red wife with
materials for suitable nterment Of the child which had
expired We remember to have seen the mourning
mother sitting on the ground in her lodge. She was
certainly the most perfect personihcaon OF grief that
ever was conceived by the sculptor, or described by
the mastery imagination Of the poet. Her hair hung
loosely around visage cold marble and fell upon
breast that seemed have heaved its last convulsve
throband her drapery literally sackcoth covered
with ashes
Her child lay at her feet wrapped in silk shawl co.
vered with one OF merino then white blanket bound
with red ribbon the next covering was blue blanket
bound with broad white ribbon and the outer wrapper
was scarlet blanket decorated with broad border Of
yellow ribbon After the child consigned TO grave
in the prairie, high ground the frantic mother choked
down. and strsnged death on the spot two ne sad

Hon. to make a Newspaper popular-A few
years after the commencement of the Column
bian Centinel in Boston, Mr.. Russell, its
editor and publisher, finding that the profits
arising therefrom were not sufficient to defray
his expenses, applied to Mr.. Darrell Zone Of
the most popular merchants of his time,) for
advice as to the course he had best pursue in
the very unpleasant dilemma in which he was
placed. He informed Mr.. B. Of the particu-
lars of his situation in his usual plain, honest
manner, saying that his expenses were SO
much on the increase, and his profits were SO
small, that he thought he should be obliged to
give up his paper and seek his fortune else
where. Mr.. Darrell Immediately remarked,
that his (Mr R's) case was not so desperate
as he imagined it to be, and recommended him
to lash some of the most popular characters of
the day in the most severe terms in his CO.
lumns, which course he felt sure would not
only bring his paper into more notice than it
then was, but would greatly add to his sub
scription list and increase the patronage OF
advertisers. Mr.. Russell replied that such a
course would be repugnant to his feelings, but
as he had always considered Mr.. Darrell as
warm friend, and man of superior judgment,
ne would Jake MS duNlCc lnto Seilous CoIsiuc-
ration. On the morning of the next publca-
ton of the Centinel, when Mr.. Darrell went
into State street, he observed almost every
one with eyes and mouths wide open, as If he
was monster in human shape; and could
not solve the mystery Of their looks until a
gentleman asked him why Mr.. Russell had
dashed him so numerically in his paper Of that
dayl Mr.. b. at once stepped into an insur-
ance oflice-read the paper-and as he pro-
crossed in the article about himself, he waxed
warmer and warmer, till at length, in high
dudgeon, he found his way to the Centinel
Office, when he demanded of the editor in
round set terms, why he had treated him so
UNANIMOUSLY. Mr.. Russell replied, that as Mr..
B. appeared agitated, he had better be seated
until he became cool and collected, and then
he would satisfy him to his hearts content.
After looking to the affairs of the office, Mr.,
Russell appeared before Mr.. Darrell with a
low bow, and offered the following explana-
ton " Sir, you well know that ! have ever
esteemed you to be my most valued friend,
and in whose good judgment | have ever had
the most implicit confdence-for in my ut
most need, | applied to you for advice, which

you cheerfully gave to me. AT that time il is
true, that the course which you marked out
for me, was repugnant to my feelings, but after
mature deliberaton, | was satisfied that it
would have the desired effect, and determined
to pursue it. Then had to select subject,

Life Of an Ediior.-The following para
graph is taken from an English paper, and
presents just view of the difficulties which
attend the life of an editor of newspaper,
who is always obliged to cater for an almost
infinite variety of appetites. 1t reminds one
Of the hapless flying fish in the tropics, who is
eagerly chased in his native element, by vora-
cious bonitas and dolphins and when it
makes use Of its wings to escape from its per-
severing enemies, and rises into the air, host
Of the feathered tribe are waiting to pounce
upon and devour him.
can editor cannot step without treading on
somebody's toes. 1.-The expresses his opinion
fearlessly and frankly, he is arrogant and pre-
sumptuous if he merely states facts without
comment, he dares not avow his sentiments.
Ifhe conscientiously refuses to advocate the
claims of an individual for office, he is ac-
cused of personal hostility.
"a jackanapes who measures off the words
into verse, as clerk does tape by the yard,
hands him parcel of stuff that jingles like a
parcel of rusty nails and gimblet, and if the
editor is not fool enough to print the nonsense,
stop my paper, | won't patronize man that
is no better Judge Of poetry !! One MUIR
murs because his paper is not literary enough,
one would have type SO small that mycro-
scope would be indispensable to every family;
another threatens to discontinue his paper
unless the letters are half an inch long. In
fact, every subscriber has a plan Of his own
for conducting Journal, and the labor of
Gisyphas was recreation, compared with that
OF an editor who undertakes to please all"

Gayefy Of The French.--Shortly after the
tragical death of Marie Antonette, M. Peri
CORD, an emigrant Of some consequences, who
had made Mr.. Pitts acquaintance at Versailles,
took refuge in England, and on coming to
London, went to pay his respects IN Downing
street. The conversation naturally turned
upon the horrid scenes Of the French reyolu-
ton, on their fatal consequences to social or
der and in particular on the barbarity with
which the unfortunate Queen had been treated.
The Frenchman's feelings were quite over
come, and he exclaimed, amidst violent sob
bling, All, Monsieur Pitt, la pauvre Refine
la pauvre Reinep ~ These words had scarcely
been uttered when he jumped up as If anew
idea suddenly possessed him, and, looking
towards little dog which came with him, he
exclaimed. " Dependant, Monsieur Pitt, fant
voyez mon petit CHEN danser." Then, pulling
small kit out Of his pocket, he began dancing
about the room to the sound of his little IN
strument, and calling to the little dog, q Fan
chon, Fanchon! dansez, dansez !" the little
animal instantly obeyed, and they cut such
capers together that the minister's gravity was
quite overcome, and he burst into loud laugh,
hardly knowing whether he was most amused
or astonished.-Life Of Wilbertorcs.
