SYDNEY SMITH ON ENJoyMENr.- The great wit and. reviewer never penned wiser and truer words than these:
 Mankind are always happier for having been happy so that if you make them happy now, you make them happy twenty years hence by the memory of 1t. A childhood passed with due mixture of rational indulgence, under fond and wise parents diffuses over the whole of life d feeling of calm pleasure, and in extreme old age is the very last remembrance which time can erase from the mind of man. No enjoyment, however inconsiderable, IS confined to the present moment. A man is the happier of life for having once made an agreeable tour, or lived for any length of time with pleasant people, or enjoyed any considerable interval of innocent pleasure; which contributes 10 render old men so inattentive 10 the scenes before them, and carries them back to the world that is past and to scenes never to be re- newed again.
Des Arc citizen., 1859-04-22
The Printer.

The Belfast (Ireland) Mercury, gives the following in relation to printers:
 From high or low they are the same reckless, light hearted, clever, we'll informed fellows--knowing how to act better than they do-nothing at times-everythng iflhe occasion requires, 'or the fit takes them. No sooner are they comfortable in our town, than they make tracks for another, even though they travel on hair space means. And to what will they not turn their hands? We have seen,' says an American editor, one and the same individual of the craft, minis ter in California, lawyer in Missouri, a shesif in Ohio, boatman onthe western canal sailing privateer, an auctloneer ln New York, and press nan Tn a great printing office Nor are these character isics confined to any country; they are everywhere the same. We have met them as lecturers, actors, travelling preach CTS, ventriloquists in fact, everything. We have met on tramp in this country members of this rowing profession from all parts ofthe globe = Frenchmen. Spaniards, Portugese, Germans and Swedes --and all apparently as much at home as in their own country. Ardent lovers of liberty, king craft finds but little favor in their eyes. They are always with the people When the Chartist excitement was raging in England, the most eloquent leaders in the movement were printers. When the barricades were raised in Paris, in 1918, the conpositors cast their types into bullets and fired them at their royalist's, troops. When the Americans were at war with Mexico, General Taylor's regi- ment was composed almost entirely of printers, and they were the bravest of his troops.
