Printers Devil.

We have been so frequently asked by friends
and others, swhy the boy in the printing office
is called the Devil?' that we give what little we
know upon the subject ..a-.: -.-... ..
The first persons who carried on printing, to.
any extent, were John Guttenburg, John Faust,
Cor Faustus,) and Peter Shelter. Germany was
the place where the art was invented and first
carried on. The following story is told of the
first introduction of printing in France: .aa
'sIn 1862, Faust carried number of Bibles to
Paris, which he and his partner Shefer had print
ed, and disposed of them manuscripts; at this
time the discovery of the art was not known in
France. At first he sold them at the high price
of 500 or 600 crowns the sum usually obtained by
scribes he afterwards lowered his price to sixty,
which created universal astonishment; but when
he produced according to his demand, and even
reduced it to thirty, all Paris became agtated.-
The uniformity of the copies increased their won-
der, the Parsians considering it task beyound
human invention. Informations were given to
the police against him as magician; his lodgings
were searched, and a great number of Bibles
were found and seized; the red ink with which
they were embellished was said to be his blood,
and it seriously adjudged that he was in league
with the devil; whereupon he was cast into pris-
on, and would most probably have shared the fate
of such, whom ignorant and supersticious judges
condemned in those days for witchcraft He now
found it necessary, in order to gain his liberty, to
make known the discovery of the art. The oircum-
stance gave rise to the tradition of f'The Devil
and DIR. Faustus,'' which is handed down to to the
present time. ,.ss. @G ...>
| The ignorance and superstition that considered
printing an invention of the Evil One would also
very naturally suppose the men engaged in it as
being servants of Satan if no actual fends in hui
man shape. 1t is universally considered that the
above story gave rise to the practice of calling the
Office boy "devil.'' e z.- .-

POETRY.
! TRUST no THE FUTURE.

Trust to the uturei--The, gloomy and cheerless
yProwls the dark Past, like ghost, at thy back, =
Look not behind thee; be hopeful and fearless.
Steer for the right way, and keep TO the tack!
Fling OF Deepaif--it has strength like a giant - @
Shoulder thy purpose and, boldly defiant, ii ia.;
Save to the Right, stand unmoved and unplant!
Faith and Gods promise the good never lack.
Trust to the Future 1.-The Present may fright thee,
Scowling 30 fearfGlly close at thy side;
Face 1t unmoved, and no Present blight thee
He swho stands boldly, each blast shall abide
Never storm, but the tainted air needs it; I
Never o storm, but the sunshine succeeds it;
Each has lesson, and he alone reads it = a. g
Rightly, who takes it, and makes it his guide. b. q
Trust to the Future lit stands like an angel,
swaiting to lead thee, to bless and to cheer; 7 go
Singing Of Hope, like some blessed Evangel,
3Luring thee a brighter career. Il. ~Es- -
Why should the Past or the Present oppress thee
Stamp on their coils, for, with arms to caress thee,
see the great Future stands yearnng to bless thee;
Press boldly forward, nor yield to fear. ,sz ~
Truss to the FutureIIt will deceive thee, st3
So thou but meet with brave heart and strong;
Now begin living anew, and, believe me, E.z-@ -, n,s
Gladness and Triumph will follow long:
Never a night, but there cometh q morrow;
Never a grief but the hopeful will borrow
Something of gIadness, to tighten the sorrow;
Life unto such is Conqueror's song #at -
Trust to the Future then Cease from thy weeping.
Faith and a Hrm heart all that you need
God and his angels have yet in their keeping
Harvests Of joy, if we1l but the seed!
Trust to the Future,an Life will be glorious;
Trust,-for in trusting the soul is victorious; .
Tfust, t,-and IN trusting be strong and laborious;
Up and be doing, and give God the need. ~

Brotherhood.

Each man of US is deeply and vitality concerned
in the veal and woe of every other individual of
the race. Never shall we obtain true happiness,
never shall obtain true liberty, until we shall
have elevated all men to liberty and happiness. -
We are members one of another, parts of one
great whole, living links in the living organism
of humanity. The neighbor is most truly our
brother, nay, more than brother, he is our other
self; his crimes are our diseases; his sufferings
our curse. A nerve of the same Life runs through
the whole human kind, and it cannot be torment
ed in one, without sending its shock OF pain to
others, the wounding of the remotest limb
quivers throughout the frame. The pulse of NOR
al life in society must beat irregulary itful, fe-
verishly, while the circulation is obstructed or
vitiated in the least portion of its structure.

with which these astrOlogers mistfy their forebo-
dings, and screen themselves from the charge of
falsehood. Think not of him, thy senators await
thee I"
"I CO." said Julius, ''perhaps to the revelation
of this mystery-the Gods direct it."
Caesar now approached the senate chamber; the
doors were opened, and the assembly rose in re-
spectacle silence.
"Most noble senators, greet you! said Julius,
"The senate sends this greeting back to you,"
replied several voices.
Julius now seated himself in the midst of the
assembly. Again the elements were convulsed
Casca, conspirator, approached; the dagger
glttered in his hand, at the back of julius. He
was seen to tremble; the assassins shuddered in
that awful feeling of suspense which attends the
felon between condemnation and execution
Caesar, startled by the rustling behind him, sudden
ly turned his face on his murderer. The fear of
discovery and death nerved the assassin's arm and
the dagger lodged in the throat of the DICTATOR
The signal had now been given, the blow struck.
The assassins approached; dagger after dagger
found its resting place in the bosom of julius
With that force which nature sometimes imparts
to the last throes of mortal agony, he defended
himself with ,vigor against the daring and deter
mined band, until Marcus Brutus advanced and
plunged his dagger into the heart of his friend and
benefactor exclaimed, F'I love the tyrant, but my
country more" 81 fs. 5 "
''Et tu, mi fli!'' family articulated julius
Then turning to the majestic form of Pompey, he
murmured, 'Shade of the great! thou art appeas-
ed. Miserable, lost undone Calphurnia!''
The eyes became fixed, the vital stream rushed
in torrents through the channels plowed by the
poniards of the assassins. The functions of the
brain alone seemed to retain their wonted vigor
to assert their supremacy; to triumph over the
wreck of mortal existence, and to watch the ma
chine the wheels one after another ceased from
their revolutions. Anxious, even in death, to pre-
serve his dignity, with one final effort Julius en-
veloped himself in the more than royal, the ROMAN
robes. The eye dilated, the tongue in vain en-
deavored to articulate, the lvid paleness of the
features distinctly marked the near approach Of
death; and as the spirit shed the last beams of in
teligence over the frame it had so lately anima.
ted, the mighty Caesar reeled to the base of Pom
peys statue, fell, and expired without groan.

REVENUES OF THE TURKISH MOsQUEs.-It has
been stated that, in the event of a war between
Turkey and Russia, great pecuniary assistance
might be expected by the Sultan from the various
mosques scattered throughout his territory
These mosques are holders of immense revenues,
which are derived, the New York Sun informs us,
from the following sources:
'sThe property of private individuals is secured
to them in Turkey, subject of course to taxes OF
tribute But persons in Office, with some excep-
tons, are not SO we'll protected. Their lives aud
fortunes must answer for their conduct, and the
Sultan can take both. To guard their property,
Turkish ofice-holders are in the habit of placing
it where no bill of discovery'-=if they have such
an instrument in Turkey-can reach it. They
give their property to some mosque-that is to say,
the reversionary interest in it-but their families
and heirs keep possession while there are any
heirs left, paying the mosque quit rent. While
thus guarded, the property cannot be affected oy
the conduct of the real owner. No matter it he
stole 1.-THE claim of the mosque is good. In
this way very great amount of property is held
in the Turkish empire; and there can be no doubt
that upon necasaary occasions it will be produced
