Early Printers.

The first printers were Titans, and they
performed Titanic work. They were no
mere skiltul mechanics or plodding artis-
sans. They were what the exigencies OF
their task required them to be-scholars,
patriots, philanthropists-among the first
Of their age. They were men of large
intelligence, with right conception of the
new power which printing had introduced
into the world, and clear consciousness
that they were laboring for the illumination
and Improvement of the species. And
they caught the inspiration of their lofty
mission. They addressed themselves to
their work with the hearts of heroes, and
in the spirit of martyrs. The difficulties
were enormous.
The early printer had often himself TO
prepare the work he was to print, either
by translation or by original authorship.
He had to make bis own printing press, he
found his own type, and manufactured his
own ink. He was compostor and press
man, and corrector of the proof He had
to bind his own book. He was his own
editor, publisher, and bookseller The
outlay of money was necessarily great.
Some embarked small fortune in the en-
terprise, and were ruined. One, after lay
ing out large sum on apparatus and ma
terials, and spending years at his task, died,
broben-hearted, probably, before he bad
finished the printing of the book, when his
materials and his unfinished work were
sold for trife.
Two German printers, who carried their
presses to Rome, complained, in a suppli-
cation to the Pope, that at vast cost and
labor they had printed twelve thousand
volumes, but for the want Of buyers they
were no longer able to bear the expense of
housekeeping their dwelling was full of
quires of printed books but destitute Of
every necessary and comfort. Others en-
countered the active opposition of malig-
nant depotisms, and suffered death for their
heroic efforts in the cause of human en-
lightenment. 1t was by such struggles
sacrifices, and sufferings, that the pres:
conquered for itself, and so for knowledge
and for truth, worldwide empire. These
early printers were noble race, and de-
serve 10 be held in veneration as among
the first benefactors of mankind Th'
Printer.

A BUCKEYE SroRY.-The Columbus
(Ohio) Journal tells queer story about
a married couple in that place. The hus-
band is tyrant. One evening during
recent severe storm bis wife was out visit
ing neighbor; her husband pretended
not to know her. She threatened to jump
into the we'll if he did not open the door.
Having no idea that she would do so, he
obstinately refused to recognize her; so
she took log, plunged it into the well,
and simultaneously with the splash it made
she placed herself by the side of the door
as soon as her husband darted out in his
night clothes she darted in, locked the door
and declared that she did not k,aoac him !
She froze him till he was penitent, and
then let him in. If the reader doubts the
story, we cant help it.

THRILLING INCIDENI.-ln Prussia,
recently, points-man was at the junction
of two lines of railway, his lever in hand,
for train was signalled. The engine was
within few seconds of reaching the en-
bankment, when the man, on turning his
head, perceived his little boy playing on
the rails Of the line the train was to pass
over. Lie down p he shouted out TO the
child, but as to himself he remained at his
post. The train passed along on its way,
and the lives of hundred passengers were
perhaps saved. But the poor child The
father rushed forward expecting to take up
only corpse, but what was his joy on
finding that the boy had at once obeyed
bis order--he lad lain down, and the whole
train had passed over him without injury.
The next day the king sent for the man,
and attached to his breast the medal for
civil courage.

AFFECTING INCIDENT DURING SHER-
MANS GREAT RAID.-A letter from a
major on the staff of popular general
gives the following incident that occurred
during General Sherman's great march
through Georgia-in. fact the only painful
circumstance connected with the march.
At Milledgeville, the residence of Gov.
Brown was sacked, and ten boxes of old
! Sherry, branded IS? were found. The
mouths of certain staff officers had Just be-
gun to water, when Gen. Howard came
up, and, ascertaining the state of affairs
1.-THE general don't drink }, ordered the bot.
/ ties broken. Remonstranee was useless
and the eyes of the gallant officers, whose
mouths had begun to water, filled witt
tears, as the choice liquor ran into the sa
cred soil of Georgia, ard they declared
Cpon honor) that it was the most painful
sight they had ever witnessed,-LOmsria'

A New Use FOR MACHINERY.-Hair
brushing by machinery, which originated
in Bristol, England, has now become so
common in London that any hair-dresser
who wishes to retain bis business must put
up machinery, which costs about go. 1t
is not usual TO work the machinery by
steam. This is found too fierce and some
what dangerous TO the scalp of the subject
operated upon, and hand-power is prefer
red. The latest novelty is the application
of practice well known to grooms, namely,
singeing. "Practical hair-dressers," as
they style themselves, have discovered that
when the hair becomes thin it does so on
account of the nutritive juices which
nourish the hair, and that this can be pre-
vented by burning the ends, just as gar
dener would burn a bleeding" vine.-
Lightheadedness is therefore greatly on the
increase, and any person may become
illuminated for the small sum of two shil
lings and sixpence.

WHAT Mr.. O'DowD OBJEcTs TO-
The last number of BlockWood's Magazine
contains one of the Cornelius O'Dowd pa
pers, partially relating to man and woman.
O'Dowd is opposed to popularizing science.
He dislikes to come home and find Mrs.
0'Dowd in tears, because she has learned
at the scientific Congress that the coal
fields cannot last over twelve thousand
years, and that the earth's crust is seven
teenth of an inch thinner than it was at the
time of Moses. And then he asks :
" What right has Sir David Brewster, or
Professor Faraday, TO fill my wife's head
with speculations about the first man?
am. or at least ought to be, the first man
to her." But even this is not so bad as
the dismal information thrust upon him re-
garding the constituents of which both are
composed. 81 do not desire to have it
impressed so forcibly that / am only a
compound of neutral salts, gelatine, fibrine,
and adipose matter. 1t is no pleasure 10
me to regard Mrs. O'Dowd as vehicle for
phosphorate of lime, various carbonates,
and an appreciable portion of arsenic
