THE PRINTER.

There he stands at his case his eyes are fixed
on his copy while his fingers, oledent to his
will, collect the letters from their valions boxes,
and place them together so as to form words,
SENTENCES, complete articles o.: ncws. politics,
or literature. The musician of the piano can
hardly compete with the printer in the rapidity,
and precision of his digital motions Like the
pianist who plays with his music book and in
stGunent before him, the printer sees and com.
prehcrds at a glance the ever varying results
his fingers must produce, and docs not hesitate
a moment to perform the necessary action with
the rapidty Of lightning. Like notes from the
instrument; every letter, every pause, every
stop, is calcd forth in proper place, till complete
ensemble is formed, which the memory can
treasure up, and which the mind can conceive
and digest. But how different gre the final ef-
feet produced in these two instances The mu-
sician creates, a series Of mclGG!ous and harmo-
NOUS sounds, which please the ear for Il moment
and Gle away; the feelings gay or sad, dspond-
ing or enthusiastic, mild or violent, are excited
at the moment, but the charm soon ceases, and
nought bat the recollection Of rast pleasures or
pain remains upon the mind. But the printers
labor bears everlasting fruit; he spreads before
mankind the arcana Of knowledge, and works
with the sagcs III the laboratory of reason he
sends messengers TO every one Of the human
family; he invokes all mon to behold the beau
ties of truth, and seeks to make the mass Of
mankind conscious of those immutahlc rights
with which man is invested Mt birth by nature
and by natures God. The printer has been,
since the fifteenth century the faithful and most
active auxiliary of learning. That day the prin-
ter struck oil a rougl! block oftv?cs-from that
day we may date the universal spread of knowl-
edge, and the gradual disiianchiscmcnt of man-
kind from the bonds of ignorance, superstition
and oppression. From that day has man grad
ualIy advanced to the general enjoyment Of free,
cnig GIFTED, and republican institutions; from that
day royalty and its concomitants began to de-
cay, and fair liberty to grow III their place.
| might continue to show, in detail, the cor
rcctncss of the general outline | have drawn ;
but the immense benefits which the art Of print
ing conferred upon mankind, have been describ.
cd by ADLER and more eloquent pens than mine.
Let me present single hypothesis; suppose
that the great protectiveness, and teacher OF all
arts and dsricnces-suppose that the art oil print
ing had never bcca discovered, at what stage
of progress would we now find natural phoso-
ply, astronomy, mechanics, navigation, and
many arts which conduce so circtnaly to the
comfort and preservation ofmankind! Where
would now be those liberties we hold so dear
Yet in the womb Of iuurity. The discoveries
of a Newton would have been the treasure OF
N. exclusive few Watt anil Fulton would
perhaps, never have learned IN" Iirs; principles

Par BErrERISs HIS INsTRUcTI0Ns.-A lady
and gentlemen, recently married, in the neigh
borhood of Nottingham, left home i'll their car.
riage for q bridal tour among the Cumberland
lakes. In order to avoid the notice generally
attracted by persons in the honey moon, the
gentleman gave his Irish footman the strictest
charge not to tell any one on the road that they
were, newly married, and threatning to dismiss
him ifhe did. Pat promised implicit obedience;
but on leaving the first inn on the road, next
morning, the happy couple were much astonlsii-
edand annoyed to find the servants oil assembled,
and pointing to the gentleman, mysteriously
exciaiming, "That's him, that's the man." On
reaching the next stage, the indignant master
told Murphy he must Immediately discharge him,
as he had divulged what he had impressed upon
him. as a secret. "Plase yer honor" says Pat,
"what is it you complain OFF," You rascal y
exclaimed the angry master, ''you told the ser
wants at the inn last night that we were newly
married couple" "Och, then, be this and be
that" said Pat, frightening up i'll anticipated
triumph, there's not word of truth tit, yer
honor; sure tould the whole kitof them, servants
and all, that you wouldn't be married for fort
night, yet!"
TIE New WALTz.-The Partisan cores
pondent of the Courier des Etats Unis, dc.
scribes a new dance, called the Scottisch
Waltz, which he says is all the rage in Paris.
His words are:
"This step, which is the favorite one of the
English Queen, is union of the waltz polka,
and redowa, gentle balancing with alternate
movements and repose with pironetts and slides.
Its less fntiguing than the waltz, more anima-
ted THAI, the polka, and more graceful than the
redowa. 1t is, in word, si':ll and charm
ing, movement of exquisite e::rce and agility,
and one which parents may i!''w their children
to participate in without scr,i l."
The London Literary Gazette says of the
fashionable songs of the day-"these realms
were never so stuffed and besotted as at this
hour, when we are inundated with Il class OF
compositions so infinitely beneath contempt,
that to waste word upon their inanity would
BE waste indeed

! DEATH E1 .LIG1ITNINS.--A correspondent
from Ware county, (Ga.) writes, u.s.
On the 2lst inst, the house of James Aspirl.
wall OF Ware county, was struck by lightning
At the time of the melancholy occurrence, there
were present in the house, besides Mr.. Aspin-
wall and his wife two other men. Mr.. Aspin.
wall was instantly kiled-his wife badly woun-
ded, and the two others present were stunned
for some time. Upon their recovery, the lat
ter found themselves lying upon the grass, out
side the door and on entering the house, dscov.
cred Apinwall dead and his wife apparently SO:
but upon the application of cold water to her
face, she recovered and expressed unconcious-
Hess of what had happened by asking, who and
what had served her in that manner!
Tie fluid seems to have run the whole course
of their bodies, from the head downwards, as
the shoes of all the persons in the party, were
thrcwn off their feet and torn to atoms. Mr.
Aspinwall was n young man of great respecta-
bility, and his death is universally lamcnted.
First Tolrns in Americn.-The National In
telligencer relates the following curious facts,
which will be news to many of our readers.
"lt will seem curious to those who are not
aware of the fact, that the first towns built by
the Europeans upon the American Continent
were st. Augustine in East Florida, and Santa
Fe, the capital Of New Mexico. The river Gi.
la was explored before the Mississippi was
known, aud gold was sought in California long
ere the first white man endeavored to find
home on the shores of New England. There
are, doubtless trees standing within the fallen
buildings of ancient Panama that had COM
menced to grow when the sites of Boston and
New York were Governed with the primcval
wilderness"
FLORIDA ISD1AHs.-From various sources
we learn the gratifying news that Indian hos
tilites are probably at an end in Florida, Cen
Twiggs having induced the Seminoles to Emi
CRATE. A Tampa correspondent of the n. o.
Picaynne writes as follows:
"Unless some unforeseen accident lntcrvcnes,
II feel confident this perplexing question is now
at rest forever 1t will take them some time to
collect up their plundcr. The general is in
hopes to start them all within four months, but if
during this year he cmigrates them all, he will
do WELL Indians are slow in their movements,
except when on the war trail of the whites, and
then he move himself s,nartly. But 10 man can
get them of sooner by single day than Gen.
l'wiggs, TO whom much honor and credit are
due Tor thus amicabiy terminating this dangerous
question which has afflicted Florida for somany
years"
