Printers.

A true republican looks with
sympathetic interest upon all classes Of
men who earn their bread by the swea
of their brow; but OF course there mus
be yocailons for which one has partic.
ular regard, and we confess that among
these we know Of none more important
nor OF class more generally useful, and
at the same time unfortunate, than that
of Printers. From long, daily, and
constant association with them, we have
learned TO look on them as one large
famlly-neIvous jovial, thoughtful, wit
ty, bilious, poor, proud, wiggling, talka-
tlxe--ln relation to whom we stand as
sort OF half brother, or second cousin on
a long visit to them. There they stand
at their cases--breathing machines, mag
lcal antomata-daguerreotyping, as it
were, the passing scenes of life'schange.

world the worlds history of itself, with
such a generally acurate minuteness,
such order and punctuality, that the un-
advised world conceive, if indeed they
think anything about their benefactors,
tina. the toll is not only easy but amusing
the printer has such fine chance to
get the first news.
Favored race! the average duration of
a printers life is estimated at twenty
eight years! Agreeable and healthy
must be the occupation tina. has such an
effect upon the system. A printer is lit
orally goliey-slave, though he is nom
inally paid for his labors. Wha; amount
OF wages will compensate him for the
loss OF proper exercise, pure air and
seasonable sleep? How much gold will
purge the lead from his system! What
ecstatic enjoyment is there in his EN-.
ployment, which in the round of his alb.
breviated years, will compensate him
for the years he is deprived OF? He
looks upon the fair vista of "happy
old age" as Moses viewed the land of
promise-a vision of beauty not his for
tune 10 realize.
We really think that il there is any
thing which an age of intelligence like
this has to reproach itself with, it is its
neglect of the printers, in view of their
scanty rewards and their hopeless, ref
ugeless, unhealthy drudgery. Empty
praises may be bestowed upon them by
some artful, political demagogue, and
they may be toasted at festivals, in
condescending way, but words will not
reward them, nor build an asylum for
the eonsumptive, nor put bread into the
mouths of the printer and his family,
when temporarily or permanently thrown
out of work by dull business, or the
sickness resulting from mis- VOCATION

Some twenty years ago, l was coming
from Calcutta, in good ship then com.
manded; had been away from home
eleven months, during which time had
heard no news thence either private or
public. OFF Barnegat we fell in with a
fishing smack, having on board man
and boy. father and son. We wanted
some fresh fish. and the father coming on
board, we soon made bargain with him,
receiving in exchange for real Indian
bandanna handkerchief, plentiful sup
ply.
We'll, skipper said I, after the barter
was over, whats the news!'
He nodded his head thoughtfully for
moment, and said Potatoes is 25 cents
bushel!'
1T is impossible!' l ask; sbut the news,
friend, what is the news, friend9'
wall! said he, there was great crop
on 'em last falls'
Never mind the potatoes | replied,
tell us the news--waat's going on in the
political world!'
'Politlkil,' said the fisherman, standing
siiensiy Tor few moments, sPoliiikil!
dye see that fellow in my boat younders'
pointing to his son, mop headed fellow
OF Ia. 'Wal, captain, that ere chap
made two hundred dollars last winter!'
There was no use in trying to get any
thing out of him, so we parted. Three
or four years after on my return from
another voyage, coming on the same
coast, | again meet this fisherman. He
remembered me, took out the Identical
bandanna that | had given him, waved it
with cheer above Els head and swore
| should have the best and biggest of all
the fish he had. made another pur-
chase of him, and was again anxious.
What's the news? Inquired; who's
President.'--it was general election.
Said the fisherman, we recolIect my
boy that had in the smack with me-
the one who made two hundred dollars!'
:Yes,' says |.
'Wal!' he replied, mis- hard eyes becom-

And that said the captain in concIu-
sion, IS all ever got out of the fisher
man off Barnegat.'

Beautiful tribute TO IIenry clay.

The Richmond Republican has the
following brief tribute TO Henry Clay.
Age seems to have no effect on the
intellect of Henry Clay. Time appears
reluctant to convert into ruin the state-
ly fabric of that mighty mind. 1t knocks
with gentle hand at the portals, and
slowly impairs the outworks of the edi-
flee, but stands hesitatingly upon the
Threshold Of the citadel, as if the en-
chantment of genius had laid a spell
upon its powers, and it had forgotten its
own work in admiration of. Its victim.
The once elastic step of Harry Of the
West now halts little with the increa-
sing burthens of years; the form is some-
what bowed; the hair is white with
those frosts which herald the long win-
ter OF the grave; but the great soul
seems endowed with perennial youth;
and its bright, genial, and transparent
flow reminds us of some fresh and limp
i'd fountain, springing up among gray and
moss covered rocks, and sending forth
sparkling streams TO beautify and fertal.
