NUMBER 80.
Dignity of the Friater,s Art.

Surely if there is any occupation fol
lowed by man, that should be regarded
as ennobling and elevating, it is that
of the printer. The printer is the worlds
school master. 1t is the printer who
teaches the worlds young idea how to
shoot" Let printers, then, hold up
their heads, and live lives that will hon
or their profession. and their profession
will certainly honor them. In the early
progress of printing in EBgllnd,5 prin-
ters were invested by act of parliament
with many of the privileges granted to
the nobility; and the act, we believe, still
remains on the statue book. B. L.
Taylor says the following poetic tribute
to the workers in the t'art prescryative
of all arts"
sThe printer is the Adjutaut ofTought
and this explains the mystery Of the
wonderful word that can kindle hope
as no songcan-wqrm hart as no hope
can-that word "we," with a hand IN
hand warmth in it, for the author and
the printer arc engineers together.--
Engineers indeed! When the little Cor
sican bonn bardcd Cadiz at the distance
of five miles, it was deemed the very tri-
umph of engineering. But what is that
paltry range to this whereby they bonn
bard the ages yet to be-. T4st
"There at the cease" he stands and
marshalls into line the forces armed for.
truth, clothed in immortality and En-
glish. And what cap be nobler than
the equipment ::of thought in sterlihg-
with the ring of spear
and shield gradually on to "the latest.
syllable of recorded time" This is to
win a victory from death, for this has
no eying in it. '1'i
The printer is called laborer, and
the Office he performs is toll, oh it is {,
not work, but sublime right he is per1 :
forming, when he thus sights the engine
that is to fling wordcd truth in gran
der curve than missiles ere before de-
scribed-fing it into an age unborn
He throws of his coat indeed; we but
wonder, the rather, that he does not put
his shoes from Of his feet, for the place
where on be stands is help ground - %
GA little song was uttered somewhere
long ago; it wandered through the twi=-
light feeblcr than star. it died upon
the ear. But the printer takes 1T Ul'
where it was lying there in the silepee,
like wounded bird, and epuips it anew
with wings, and sends it forth from the.
Ark that had preserved it, and it.Gfies
on into the future with the olive branch
of peace, and around the world with
melody, like the drawing of spring
morning

dows open and waving white handker
chiefs; the little boys with sticks anc
paper caps marching alongside, and
Gen Smith all the way pouring into my
ears the deep regret that they had MOI
time to get up more beftting "cele-
bration," and urgent entreatics that ]
would repeat the visit when Congress
adjourned"
Arrived at the cars just IN season, l
parted from my hospitable friends on
1.-The platform, with more hand shaking
and a Whisperedsentreaty of Don't for
get the Office, from my shabby genteel
friend; and as the train moved off, nine
stentorian cheers from the mbled
gathering, actually drowned the loco
motives whistle.
l had become so used to adulation
and admiration by my mornings expe-
rience, that half expected to be greet
ed with similar demonstrations aboard
the train, and half wond- -red whether
the city bells would not strike up a peal
of welcome in honor of my return, and
whether I should find General Sanford
with the first Brigade of n Y. S. NJ,
waiting at the depot to escort me to the
City Hall.
l walked home to my lodgings with
out exciting any attention in the streets
Reaching there 1 pulled OH my new
boots which had pro7ed rather tight,
and sat down in easy slippers to rest
and cogitate upon my singular adven-
lures.
+ Some writing on the inside of the
lining Of one Of the boots attracted my
notice. [ took it up, and read in a
large round hand, "FRAAKLIN PIER1 F"
The mystery was explained! In hastily
purchasing ready made boots, l had
bought pair made for the President.
When [ set them out over night to be
BACKED at the 'SSmithburg Hotel" the
waiter had read the name, and commu-
nieatcd tic important secret to the land
lord, from whom it had spread like wild,
fire through the town. 1 had been
passing with the Smithburgcrs for Pres
idcnt PIERCE!
1 have not vcnturcd to show myself
in Smithburg since. 1 have never
heard Of Gen. Pierce's going there either;
so l suppose they are not undcceived to
this day.
L, S. If you print this story in the
knickcrbocker, don't let any copy of it
60 to Smithburg.

RS A man, travelling with his W lie,
saved himself in railroad collision, but
she was killed. When he reached home
he missed his umbrella, and applied to
the directors for it; but it was not com
catable-none of them had seen it
And now, in speaking of the accident,
he always says
Yes, on that day lost bran new

that the Ocean Telegraph possesses over

Gress:IEs the Cars,

Speaking of old c!othcs-in the name
of dust and ashes, don't 'sdress up" to
ride five hundred miles in the cars in
the summer time. That gentleman over
there lives in mortal fear for his immac-
ulatc castor. Every five minutes he re
moves and carresses it-now with his
handkerchief, now with his elbow Ev-
| cry five minues he thumb: it against the
car, and straightway takes it off to note
the effects of the collision. Nov he pets
it, by holding it in his lap like firkin
of butter, ard now he puts 1t up in the
rack to roost. He hangs it on hook
and it slips off. He places it upon the
seat beside him. There man has sat
upon it and finished it! just so with
his ''bran new coat. The cinders fly
fercely at it, and the dust settles shame
lcssly on it, aud the urchin behind him
attempts to write with n dougLnut on its
glossy back. Just so with his vest-his
wedding vest, wrought with divers po-
les in white silk. Itlooks like the can
vass of circus coat in October, and
nothing will cleanse it, except by the
grace of chalk and camphene.
He is very nice man, no doubt; we
notice his hair is parted behind with
geometric accuracy. and he wears lem
on like kids, but the man beyond him
in the loose linen coat-price S1-and
hat that Billy Barlow might have sung
of
':All around my hat I wears weeping
willow"
and a vest as sleek with wear as an un-
shortened e-crust, is far more sensi-
bic man than he; and he ventures
shrewd guess could buy him, and keep
him withal, if he pleased
And there's a woman in a white hat
all troubling in white snow drops and
white roses, and blue and white plaid
silk. This minute she looks like lily
just plucked, but in about four hours
after. one might fancy she had selected
her dress pattern from al old continen-
tai flag And then how 'worked" she
looks, and how troubled she seems, and
yet how very fine she thinks she is, and
almost pjties the poor lady in black and
white check. who has, perhaps, under
that plain glove of Isle thread ring
that, like the circlet Of Gyges, could buy
field lily invisible.
Aappy is the traveller who is poor
enough to have old clothes, and proud
enough to wear them; for pride, after
all. is more than hnlf virtue, while
vanity at best is almost too weak to be a
vice.-Chicago Journal.

twaddlers, without serious inconvcni-

with is just as good as gold to the
printer-as as though it metal icly glstened
in his hand What should be thought
of a man who would enter school and
twadde first with the teacher and then
with the scholars : interrupting the dis
cipline Of one and the studies Of the 9th

of the loafers with the course of business
-distracts the great attention which is
necessary to the good printer No gen.
tleman will ever enter it and presume
t, act the loafer lie will feel above it,
for no real man ever sacrifices the inter.
ests of or interfere with the duties of
others The loafer does both. Let
him think, if he never has. that the last
place lie should ever insinuate his worth

Summer Wind.

From Chambers, Journal
The low Wind through my easement strays
Between the jasmine parted leaves,
so:t sbk Tag through the morning rays.
AmfY eo7er'rns g,rurn-snrsses: -
lear fa low voice tar away.
Where silver willows fringe the peol
Aud from the forest still and gray
Its murmur rises fresh and cool.
Leaving the sunny world below
The jasmines starry bud to seek,
feel it gently clasp my brow,
And lightly play upon my cheek.
That lingering hand sweeps rouni the room,
Ger dark recess an quiet nook.
Through loose lraves rust.ing in the gloom,
And wandering down my open book
Nor receless doth it from sweep,
To seek the bright free world again
Aud in ans bosom thrilling deep,
An echo enter, to his strain,
That mocks the lionel, toll of books
And whispers me away-away
Where waving leaves and rushing brooks
Are slancing in the long bright day
-ay above the green earth's breast,
Away above the blue .ieep wave,
Whose pillows, in their hoarse unrest,
Chant Der the sailors shrol oldless grave;
Where silver sails CLEAN far. and white,
And beckon in the moons cold ray
The wild wind following their flight,
Still whispers me away-awav, FL B.
