EyENrNG.-There are two periods in the
life of man in which the evening hour is
peculiarly interesting-youth and old age.
In youth, we love its mellow moonlight, its
million of stars, its soothing shade and
sweet serenity. Amid these scenes we
commune with those we love, and twine the
wreath of friendship, while there are none
to witness, but this gorgeous heaven, and
the spirits that hold their endless Sabbath
there. We look around on creation,
spread in slumber of q moonlight scene
around-and wrapt in contemplation,
fancy we see and hear the waving wings
and melting songs of other and purer
worlds. 1t accords with the light flow of
youthful spirits, the fervency Of fancy, and
the soft feelings of the heart. Evening is
also delightful to virtuous old age. 1t
affords hours of undisturbed though 1t
seems an emblem of the calm and tranquil
close of busy life, serene and mild. with
the impress of its great Creator enstamped
upon it. 1t spreads its quiet wings above
the great, and seems to promise that all
shall be peace beyond it.-Brattleboro( ~

WARRIOR TYPos.-The following Incl
dent goes to illustrate the great numerical
force Of the printers with the army. Gen.
Scott, on recent occasion, wanted to have
some general orders printed at q given
time. He sent directions to the office of
the Tampico Sentinel to have them done.
He was told that in consequence of the
scarcity of hands the work could not be
accomplished. He then on morning parade
ordered all printers to step forward three
PAGES from the ranks, when several hundred
men, all printers, obeyed the order!
