Printers.

Printers, il is said, die al an early rye. -
This is doubtless caused by the noxious etfiu.
via rising from the types, the want Of exercise,
constant employment, aud the late hours 10
which their work Is prolonged. There is no
other class OF human briEgs whose privileges
are so few, whose labor is so continuous;
whose wages are 81 inadequate, as prluters.-
II "typo" be man Of fa,nlly, he is d-borred
OF the privilege oil enjoying ieir society al all
lines, because his hours Of labor are almost
endless, and his moments Of leisure SO few that
they must be spent to recruit his exhausted
energies, and prepare HIM for The renewal OF
his tolls. Poor fellow he knows nothing OF
sociabity, and is shut out from The world as
convict in prison cell Truly he is in the
world, yet knows not Of It. Toll, toll, toll, by
night and by Day, in his fate, until premature
old age ends his existence. For The advance
mrut OF science, morality and vrtne, The
chords of his heart are Sundered 1ne by one,
and when his race is rum aud time TO him is
no more, he goes down 10 the grave uncared
for and unknown, though his existence has
been sacrificed for The benefit Of his race.
When We hear mechanics crying ont against
oppression, and demanding certain hours fof
labor and for resi-, we cannot but reflect upon
Ibis situation OF onr own craft, how every
moment Of their lives is forced into service To
earn bare subsistence, how uncomplaningI
they devote themselve 10 the good OF that
same public, who wear them as loose gar
ment, to be donned when convenient, and
dofIed when no longer needed.
Printers are universally poor men, and for
two reasons. The first is--they rarely ever re
ceive fair compensation for their services
aud The second lS--ttnt enured 10 continual
suffering, privaton and toiijlheir purse strings
are ever united 10 the bidding of charity, anil
the hard earned dimes are freely distributed
for the relief Of their fellow men. Thus it is
that they live poor and die poor, aud If o suit
able re ward does moi await them after death,
sad indeed must be the beginning, the exis.
lence and the end Of poor lypos.'-PitsJurg

Irreligion p olitical Sermons.

A Christian minister in this vicinity, made
the observation recently, thatthere were more
E" "Gacksllders from religion in the Western Re
serve, than could be found in The same extent
Of population and territory, any where else u n
der Ihe SUM-" This is pleily strong assertion.
nevertheless we have no disposition to dispute
II. IL nigh, slao be said That in no equal ex .
tent OF population and territory are there as
many fanatics and bigols, as many divlnes who
pleach from Gddlngs' speeches insesd oi
Chrst'S Gospel; who would rather be heard
decIamins against Douglas and the Demo
crats, thnn the Devil aud irrehgion. When
lnfdels ard Deis;s are promoted 10 offices ol
honor and profit, and Christian ttien support
them by their influence and votes, ii is moi
sirsnge that the power OF religious truth
should suffer by their compromise. The Dem
ocialic party has had 10 bear the charge Lf be
ing the embodiment Of every species of Chris
llan lnfdelty for years; but the charge never
has tclG good, and does not now. On the
Western Reserve there ars more higher law
AbohiI0nlsls Than IN any olher equal portion oil
the Union, and il is conceded TACT that there
are within IS boundaries more infdeli'y and
lreligon than Can be found in the same space
else where. The positive truth Is that niEe o
every len OF The lnfdeIs on the Reserve are
AbolitiuniSiS. This a fact well worthy the at
teRtion of Christian ministers, who may easily
perceive that their is su6icitncy Of materia
to occupy their attention spiritually, and tha
they would do well 10 leave politics 10 pollu
clans, la, 10 the lawyers, and physic 10 the
doctors; who iP turn, no doubt, will be salts
fed TO leave theology 10 the preacherS.-
