PRINTING.-When this art was first discovered
they only used one side of the leaf; they had not
found out the expedient of mpressng the other.
Their blocks were made of soft wood, and the let
ters were carved. But frequently breaking, the
expense and trouble of glueing new letters, sug-
gested our movable type. When Doctor Faus-
tus had discovered this new art, and had printed
off a considerable number of copies of the Bible
to initiate those which were commonly sold as
MSS, he undertook the sale in Paris. 1t was his
interest to conceal this discovery and to pass off
his printed copies as MSS. He could sci! his
Bibles at sixty crowns, while the dealers demand
ed five hundred. This raised astonishment; and
still more, when he produced as fast as wanted,
and at lower prices. The uniformity of the cop
les increased the wonders information was given
to the magistrate, against him as a magician.-
His lodgings were searched, and a great number
of copies of the Bible were found. The red ink
which embeished his copies was said to be his
blood and it was solemnly adiudged that he was
in league with the devil and he was obliged to
save himself from bonfire by revealing his art
to the Parliament of Paris, who discharged him
from all prosecution in consideration of this use

BOISE MINEs.-We observe that a wrong
impression has gained currency about the
location of the Boise Mines. The mines
are not at or near old Fort Boise, bnt about
100 miles TO the East and North of the
Fort. They are on a tributary of the
Boise river, and about 40 miles north of
where this branch flows into the main
Bose,so that persons going to these mines
will go-much out Of their proper course by
proceeding o the old Fort. They should
cross the Snake either below the mouth of
Powder river, at Brownlees Ferry, or cross
at Moores Ferry, just above the mouth of
Burnt river. Moores crossing of the
Snake is only about IS miles from the
mines, while Fort Boise is 100 miles dis

The Golden Age.
BY P. B. SHELLEY.

The worlds great age begins anew,
The golden years return,
The earth doth like snake renew
Her winter weeds outwOrn:
Heaven smiles, and faiths and empires CLEAN
Like wrecks of a dissolving dream.
A brighter Hellas rears its mountains
From waves serener afar;
A new Peueus rolls its fountains
Against the mOrning-star.
Where fairer Tempes bloom, there sleep
Young Cyclads on a sumner deep.
A loftier Argo cleaves the main,
Fraught with later prize
Another Orpheus sings again,
And loves and weeps and dies.
A new Ulysses leaves once more
Calypso for his native shore.
o write no more the tale Of Troy,
If earth Deaths scroll must be
Nor mix with Laian rage the Joy
Which dawns upon the free
Although a subtler Sphinx renew
Another Athens shall arise,
And to remOter time
Bequeath, like sunset to the skies,
The splendor of its prime :.
And leave, if nOught so bright may live,
All earth can take or heaven can give.
Saturn and love their long repose
Shall burst more bright and good
Than all who fell, than one who rose,
Than many unsubdued:
Not gold, not blood, their altar dowers,
But Yotive tears, and symbol flowers.

AN UmRNr FoR PLANTERS.


We find an article ia the Atlana Common
sosolth, e~ndeavoring to eradicate an erroneous
impression which obtains, that eoste viii be IN
such crest demand at The close of he war, that
ii viii command an exhorbitant pnee. Tins
idea prevails, to some extent at lei lst' and as It
nav lead to q neglect Of the cai iufe Of more
n5ortsnt CROPS. 1t is combstted o sibly by the
journal named, which, we think, dearly sstab-
fishes the reverse, in a manner 50 conclusive as
should satisfy every planter who f'els disposed
to raise a cotton crop to be stoied away and
realized upon ct the end of the wal.
Ills admitted that cotton good will in all

not impossible. but it is reasonable to expect,
that while cotton goods may be e horbitantly

owing to the same cause, namely the made
