The Printer.

A Printer is the most curious being Inv
ing He may have BANK and COINS,
and not worth cent; have SMALL CAPS
and have neither wife nor children.
Others may run fast he gets along swifter
by SETTING fast. He may be making
IMPRESSIONS without eloquence; may use
the LyF without offending, and be telling
the truth while others cannot STAND
while they SET. he can SET STANDING and
do both at the same time, have to use
FURNITURE. and yet have to dwelling; may
make up and put away Pr, and never see
pie, much less eat it, during his whole
life; be a human being and RAT at the
same time; may PRESS great deal and
not ask favor; may handle SHOOTING
IRON, and know nothing about cannon
gun or pistol; he moves the lever that
moves the world, and yet be as far from
moving the globe as hog under mole
hill; spreading his SHEETS without a
housewife: he may lay his FORM on BED;
and yet be obliged to sleep on the floor;
he may use the DAGGER without shedding
blood, and from the earth he may handle
the sTARs;he may be of a ROLLING DISPOSE
ton, and yet never desire to travel he
may have SLEEPS FOOT and not be de-
formed; never without a CASE; and know
nothing of law or physic; be always COR
REoTINa his ERRORS, and growing worse
every day; have EMBRACES without ever
having the arm of lass thrown around
him; have his FORM LOCKED up and at
the same time be from Jail, watch-houss,
or any other confinement: his office may
have HELL in it, and not be bad place
after all; he might be plagued by the
DEVIL and be Christian of the best kind;
apd which is stranger still, be honest or
dishonest, rich or poor, drunk or sober,
industrious or lazy, he always STANDS UP
to his business

GOLD MOUNTAIN Misunderstanding
stories are told of the gold in Venezuela
Native Jumps oftwenty pounds are talked
of. The gold Of these mines is undoubted-
ly purer than the California gold. The
only way the natives have for getting it
is by beating two rocks containing gold
together-getting that which falls out
with facility, and then throwing the rocks
away-thus losing great deal The
mining season begins in October, ends in
April; the rainy season preventing work
the rest of the year. The mines are but
four days journey from the coast, and a
company of Yankee adventures, who
should charter ship, and take six
months outfit, with means of defence
against the Indians, might make good
thing Of it, returning home to spend the
rainy six months.

About two hundred dollars,
And now Pm quite in debt you know
For under-sleeves. and collars.

Some ribbons, lace, and gloves,
They only cost a double K,
And they are perfect loves.

To get some stockings too,
But as hadn't cash enough
I'll make the old ones do.
They're wearable, (all but the toe.l
And those my CATERS hide,
Which by the way, my foot's 80 small
Are both too long and wide.
I'm dying for velvet basque,

I've nothing in the way of shawls
But Stelias, 80 antique.

In these sad pinching times,

With lots of shining dimes.

The married life to try,

And make his money fly.

TO THE PUBLIC.

Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeavor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
To strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need Of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gild the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland u Jakeman--mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
They'll charge but moderate for their labor,
So now invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them call.

THE CAmEL's REvENGE.-A few years ago
it CHANGED that valuable camel, working an oil
mill in Africa, was severely beaten by its driver,
who, perceiviDg that the camel had treasured up
the injury, and was waiting favorable opportu-
nifty for revenge, kept strict watch upon the
imal. Time passed away. The camel perceiving
it was watched, was quiet aud obedient, and the
driver began to think that the beating was for
gotten, when one night after the lapse of several
months the man, who slept on a raised platform
in the mill, whilst, as is customary the camel was
stalled in a corner, happening to remain awake,
observed by the bright moonlight that when all
was quiet, the animal looked cautiously around
rose softly, and stealing towards a spot where a
bundle of clothes and bernous was thrown care
lessy on the ground, resembling a sleeping fig
ure. cast itself with violence upon them, rolling
upon them with all its weight, and tearing ii elm
yeiously with its teeth. Satisfied that its revenge
was complete, the camel was returning to his cor
ner wheSth driver sat up and spoke; at the
sound OF his voice and perceiving the mistake it
had made, the animal was so mortified at the
failure and discovery of its scheme, that it dash
ed its head against the wall, and died on the
spot

The Charges against Gov. Bashford
Denied.

The Milwaukee Ne,cs having charged
Gov. Bashford with having accepted
brides from The Lacrosse Railroad Com
pany, and, in the absence of Gov. Bash
ford, the Milwaukee american called
upon b. L. Hopkins, the private secre-
tary Of the governor, to acknowledge or
deny the charge, Mr.. Hopkins replies
explicitly as follows. Now, will the
the News bring on its proof? or will it
by its silence acknowledge that it has
made false charges? Mr.. Hopkins says:
/ cannot, in justice to the governor or
myself, suffer this to pass unnoticed,
lest my silence might be construed into
a tacit Acknowledgements of the charge.
You call upon me, in the absence of the
governor, ''to step forward and acknow-
ledge or deny the charge" as you state
that vou are informed upon tie same
authority that accompanied his ex-
celIency to the Lacrosse Office and was,
with him when the money and bonds
were given him." In response to your

foundation in fact. / desire to say fur

PERSONAL ATTACKS ON JUDGE RANDALL
The Wankesha Democrat, published at Judge
Randall'S old home, though opposed to him in
politics, thus notices some of the yilaiEous and
defamatory attacks which the organs of the
Sham Democracy are indus.riousy circula-
ting all over the State
Tits but justice to Judge Randall 20 say that
although we are of opposite politics from the
Judge, such is not the reputation he bears in
Waukesha, where he has resided for the past
seventeen years. On the contrary, it affords us
pleasure to be able TO say that his personal char
acter is such. that his friends can point to it
with pride, and we believe challenge the sever
est scrutiny.
There is scarcely point of national politics
in which Judge Randall and ourself agree. and
every true Democrat can find plenty of political
reasons to oppose him, independent of personal
grounds. IT he cannot in Heavens name let
him keep out of the filth and mire OF personol
detraction and loathsome and obscene defamana-
ton
This is sound and manly advice, but it will
not be followed by such sheets as the Aers
american, Madison Argus, &c, which deprived
OF these weapons, would have nothing left to
fight with.

RETuRNDD.-Wm. b. OGDEN, after an alb

the future, and thinks that the present hard
blow will not last longer than 81 days, if so
long, and at the end of that time change for
for the better viii come over the spirit of inan-
cial dreams. He believes that the 'scare, or
panic feeling, viii soon subside; then reac
ten for the better must take place, CONNER
cial confidence will begin to be gradually res
tored, and man will not look upon his fellow
with so much dstrust. He is of opinion that
gold will be rapidly imported from Europe.
while little or none will be exported; that the
present low rate of European exchange forces
that result-to keep our gold at home, and at
tract coin from abroad. This will soon give
relief to the banks, prevent further contraction
and cause expansion. Upon the whole he
