The Paor Printer.

The PoOr printer-poor in purse, we mean-reduced to penury and rags, and asking aims about the pruning offices is a melancholy sight. There is enough in one such spectacle to give any man the double breasted horrors for whole day. There is mGst woe- begone, miserable hopeless. ness in him as he asks your aid in the name of his profession- of printng-the noble art that he, perhaps, may have hon. ored in his better days. Bad luck or worse liquor-oflen symptoms of the latter predominate--combine with a want of sell$Iospect, have reduced him to his press ent condition, He is no cOmmon began. There is. g. something in his lone. as he asks you for aid. that tells plainly it is not his lrpe Socation-that he is forcing his nature into a most unnatural current in asking for aseistance. He has none of the small lies that appear ready framed on the lips of common beggarS.- No volcanoes have poured their burning lasas on hi. head or other property-no furious torna. does have swept away his earthly hopes and homesleaI, and lriyen him forth a wanderer-no overwhelming l,de has pur- sued him relentlessly in other lands to give him fortune here. But lie siands before you, and his appearance pleads for him. He looks like . low case, austy and pied

He had just been reading Barnes on Joh, and did not agree with that learned author, whom he respected, that Job was an his toiical character.

History of Connecticut.


 It has long been a matter of regret. that no good History of Connecticut has been written. Her literary character is reproached by this palpabIe omission to arrange the elements and material of such work, from the abundant sources pre- served in her early muniments. Amid the successful efforts made to complete the series of State histories. the absence of such work from the historical col- lections is keenly felt by those whose ten- dency, tastes and habits lead them into communion with kindred splits abroad
 It is true, that Dr.. Trumbull has nnb. hshed book entitled History of Con, nectlcut, which is a little more than A. history of the ecclesiastical and polemic agitatlons of the times. It has little re- search, and that evidently inaccurate possessing little dicrimnation as annh. cable to the races whose character he at- :emPts to portray. The free spirit If c!va liberty so distinctly marking the pu. rltan settlers. is not justly appreciated, lie hates an Indian, without the power. to comprehend the great elements that enter into the aborigipal character, and, evInces little knowledge of the phiioso- phy of history.
 To the pure, original democracies of, the fi'st settlers of Connecticut. their free and independant love of religious libertv is 10 trace that moral. and intellectual force so, essentially controlipg human destiny. There are in Connecticut, pens, adequate te the successful execution of a perfest history of this State. Public opinion has designated popular mems Der of tbe LitcbGeld County Bar. at L'tchftld. as preemineptly endowed for such responsible labor. His elabora. stlons have given him both in America and EtoreIgn literature. a reputation that au-. sgurs we'll for the future.
 The History of Connecticut is a work E"f severe and protracted labor, and de Emands g. corresponding compensation. until literary labor is better paid. It. Emay be difficult to divert a professional man with an extensive and lucrative prac- ttlce,. to, a less remuneratiye occupatiop,- ! ~. H Register.
