The Lile Of a Printer.

The following strange eyenttul record Of

what queer and enterprsing, unselfsh fellows,
the majority of printers are -

prenticed to the printing business at 10; since
then have visited Europe-been in England
Ireland, Scotland Wales and France, in Can
ada, Nova Scotia, Labrador, South America,
West Indies, and all the Atlantic States of the
Union, from Maine to Louisiana---have lived in
q cities and towns OF the United States; have
been a sailor in the merchant service and have
sailed in all manner of craft-ship, brig, schoon-
er, sloop and steamer in the regular army as a
private soldier, deserted and got shot in the leg.
have studied two years for the ministry, one
year for an NJ. D., travelled through all the New

Love of Titles,

As every individual is said to have some par
ticular weakness 50 among people may be dis
covered prevailing weakness-so much So in
deed, as to be considered almost national.
The American people have, however, been so
misrepresented by those who have had an oppor-
tunity of witnessing cur peculiar characteristics,
and of judging us not by a standard of excel
lence they may have formed in their own minds,
but by an unbiased judgment, that it is difficult
to ascertain, if we take the opinion of others,
whether we have any distinguishing marks or
not, or whether we are not made up of such het-
erogenous materials that it is impossible to al.
ayze us. However, we believe, that all travel
lers agree land therefore the matter is placed
beyond all possibility of doubt,) in attributing to
us one weakness--an itching for titles, and there
certainly is some force in the remark, that " His
Excellency" and :" the Honorable" are not strict
ly consistent with republican simplicity This
is undoubtedly little Of the caven still remain
ing in our natures, which has come down to US
from our great grandlathers, for we have lately
stumbled upon paragraph, which proves that

Religion our highest Good.

Religion is intimately connected with the best
interests Of the human race; and every advance
made in the knowledge of its doctrine, OR in the
administration of its discipline, must be favora-
bic to those interests. To religion, even under
its pagan FORM both art and science are indebt,
ed. 1t was the achievements of the gods that
woke the harp of Homer; it was the statues of
the gods that employed the chsel Of Phidias
it was the portraitures of the gods that ombod
led those touches of the pencil Of Appelles.
Hunger and cold, and nakodnoss may call
forth mere physical energy, but the inspirations
of genius result from sublimer stimuli and re-
quire both motives and models from an incorpo-
real world. Those motives and models rcyea
ton furnishes in higher degree and Of holicr
| kind than were ever elsewhere furnished: and
| the scholar is now encouraged in his efforts and
in his anticipalons by the indications Of Provi
dence as well as the language Of prophecy SINCE
it is impossible for him not to see, in the LIGHT
the Bible sheds upon his prospects, that great
and benign results must follow from the opera
ton of that moral machinery which Is beginning
bear upon the world.
1t has been truly SAID that science Is the hand
maid Of religion; and it may be truly said that
religion, especially revealed religion, is the pat
roncss Of science; for though its direct object
is to make man holy, IN clIecting this, it cannot
fail to make him wise also. Without regard to
rank or condition, the Bible furnishes both the
means and motives to improvement, in whatever
language it Is read, and far as its editions crcu-
late. Imbodying system Of history the most
authentic and the most ancient, system Of NOR
ais the most pure, and Of theology the most sub
lime, it carries this epitomo of universal truth to
every cottage bringing its quckening and
mighty influence to bear on the native elements
of individual character, as they exist in all the
varieties Of a changelul and scattered popula-

sucriL2e. Thus the Trune God originated the
Plan of Salvation.
Then instantly on electric fash, the lurid cur
tains fell from around the Throne, and flood of
glory bursting out blazed over heaven. Imme-
dlatelY, from every star the ecstacied shout roll
ed, pealing from rank to rank, and roverberat-
ing from throng 10 throng, and booming from
throne to throne, 0 the depth of wisdom, of
the riches and Of the knowledge of God how
unsearchable are his ways, and how incompre-
henslblo are his judgments" And now grand
er scene displayed itself than ever before was
witnessed. A splendid crystalline armament
spread over the Throne. Fiery flames, unfold
ed themselves with celestial brightness, moved
along its under side. Before the Throne was a
transparent sea of glass, as by night, in relucent
stream of water, is seen glorious reflection of
the starry skies so in this translucent mirror
you may behold every object of magnifcence in
the upper world. Seven lamps of fire were
burning in front of the Throne. They are the
seven Spirits of God. Behind these luminaries,
and where they threw their purest beams upoa
it, saw Lamb having seven eyes and seven
horns. / heard ten thousand times ten thou
sand angels crying, "Worthy is the Lamb" The
Empyrea throng shouted, "Thou art worthy
O Lord, to receive honor and power and glory
and dominion forever" Tho pealing anthem
echoed from Kingdom to Principally until al
Heaven became vocal with the sublime song.
