ARE PRINTERs SMART!-An excelen author whom now quote, perhaps correctly says, that no trade sends into the world smarter and more active men than lha, of printing. Look to offices of trust and honor-where talent and energy are required and you will be most likely to find them filled with printers. Who makes our best editors, lawyers, preachers, mayors, Congress men? Printers. Print ing is glorious business, thus 10 fit for honor and usefulness. A college education is not to be compared will, an education at the case. One of ihe greatest lawyers England ever produced was prin- ter. The greatest philosopher of America was a printer. Who is the Mayor of London? A printer. Who the Mayors of Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth? Printers. So also are the May ors of New York, Washington and Savannah, printers by trade. The recent Mayor of Rexian was printer. There something like yS>&sn priaters in Consress-all of them honoIs to their profession. Printers are booking up. Whs would not be printer. To the young apprentice at the case the roer-stand with snutty face and dirty fingers we would say, don't be discouraged. few years ago all the distinguish ed men we have named above, wete similarly em- ployed. Stick to your business, and every leisure hour you have employ in the perusal of useful books and in the cultivation of your minds. Thea the daj will be far dstau when. if you are true to your selves and contract no bad habits, y'u will become useful and honorable ctIzens--exerting a wide and healthful influence. Think often of the example of Franklin-l Boston Evening Gaz.

HUET's MERCHANTS MAGAZINE hns deserved |, gained high reputation both in the United States and Europe, not unly account of the vast amount of commercial and statistical information which Il contains, but for the consunnnate skill and tase of the editor in bringing them together in d s, ,stemaic and perspicuous form.
 The proprietor and present. editor has projected anoiher work, more comprehensive, but similar in it's objects to the Merchants Magazine. It will be composed ol series of volumes under the general lle of "HUNT's LIBRARY OF COMMERCE" the first of which is we believe in press and will lolm a handsome duodecimo volume of about 400 pages. There can be but little doubt that such a cocc ion IS is contemplated in the "Library Of Commerce" must prove highly acceptable to the merchant, polit ical economist and statesman, lrom the intrinsic clara of the information il will possess; incud
 ing. of course in its progress, whatever may tend illustrate the history, theory and practice of Com merce. Besides original and deliberately written Country, will, we understand, embrace the best lectea productions, bearing upon the design of the work, from the peis of able writers abroad, gone of which to be translated especially for the series. The first volume contain three distinct works of a commercial character, viz: Sketch of the Con- mercal intercourse of the World with China; ? History of the British Corn Laws and the Corn Trade; and 3. Memoirs of Commercial Drlusions.
