Origin of the Printers Devil

When Manitius the elder set mp in
business, at Venice, he came in pos
session of a little negro boy. This
boy was known over the city as the
'libtle black devil" who helped the
mysterious bibliofactor along, and
some of the ignorant persons believed
him to be none other than the embod-
iment of Satan, who helped Aldns in
the prosecution of his profession.
One day Aldus, to dispel this strange
hallueination by publicity, displayed
the young imp to the poorer classes.
Upon the occasion he made very
characteristic speeOhy "Let It be
known in Venice, that I, AlduS Mani
thus, printer to the Holy Church and
Doge, have this day made public ex-
posure of the printers devil. All
those who think be is not Hesh and
blood may come and pinch him.

The Loss of the Admiral Dupont.

Boston June 1.-THE officers, crew
and passengers of the steamer Admi-
raj Dupont arrived here on Saturday
night. The Purser reports that he
left New York on the 7th for Fortress
Monroe with a small detachment Of
troops, and at 4:2O next morning, in
a dense fog, saw the ship Stadacons
steering nearly in an opposite direc-
ton. He put the wheel hard a star
board, stopped the engines and re-
versed them, to avoid a collision. Be-
fore the steamer could lose headway
the two vessels came in contact, and
our starboard bow was stove in. We
found the steamer was settling down
by the head very fast, and in three
minutes after the steamer went down.
As far as IS ascertained, one fireman,
six soldiers and one eOlOred woman
are missing.

General JacksOn,g Motto.

Think before you act, but when the
time for action comes, stop thinking
This is the true doctrine. Many men
fail in life, and go down to the grave with
hopes blasted and prospects of happiness
unrealizei, because they did not adopt and
act upon thismotto. Nothing so prepares
a mar for action as thought; but nothing
SO units a man for action in theoourse Of
action. Better by far adopt some course
and pursue it energetically, even though
it may not be the best than TO keep contin-
u1lly thinking without action. "Go
ahead" ought to be printed in every young
mans hat, and read until it becomes part
of his nature, until he can act upon his
own judgement, and not be turned from
his course by every wind of interested 3D.
vice. Inconclusion we Wouldsay, "Think
before you act but when the time for ac-
ton comes, stop thinking"

His plan Of rebellion was founded on the
idea that the deprivation of coston would

The London Post says The abseuco

The Nations Benefactors.

We make the following extract from an
eloquent speech recently delivered by
Hon. John Sherman:
There is and will be during our gener-
alton, a class of people whom we must
never forget. Their presence will con-
SANITY remind US of the perils and sacri-
fees of the war. mean our wounded
and disabled soldiers and the widows and
orphans of those who fell. The officers
aud soldiers will soon mingle with our
people in the old demployments of peace.
Their rccoIlections will be the basis of our
history, and will be taught to their chill
dren and grandchildren. They will be
rewarded by Offices and honor. But those
who have becn disabled need more. They
should not only be the honored pensioners
of the General Government, but every
where should receive the hOm1ge, respect,
attention and aid ofall good citizens The
hand, not of charity, but of affection,
should ever be open to them. Ladies,
you have honOred your sex and our eOun-
try by your organized aid to our soldiers
now &C opt the widows and orphans of the
dead soldiers as your sisters and your
children. You rich farmers, with your
teeming barns and most beautiful land,
take into your homes the children of those
who have died in your service;adopt them,
sustain them. Let them be taught to
reverence the martyrdOm of their fathers.
Let US waive all the memories of this war,
all its sacrifices, all its glOries, its battle
fields and marches, into one great bond of
patriotism, so that no citizen will hereaf,
ter ever dare to raise his hand in rebellion
against mis- country, and so that we may
visit with overwhelming power any foreign
nation that may seek to interfere with our
progress or our country. e.

Wives of Literary Men.

A man Of literary pursuits sins against
himself and the woman he marries, if he
takes one who Is but votary Of fashion
whose empire is in the draEiDg-rOOm, and
not in tie seelusiOn of domestic life. And
if he marry literary pedant, be will still
be more unfortunate-unless the Pedantry
be that of young, active, and iuquiring
mind, which IS pleased With its first essay
into the,regions of learning. She should
not lesemblezthe first wife of Milton,
whom the poet married from sudden fancy.
Unable to endure his literary habits, and
finding his hpuse too solitary for her rom
ping disposition, she beat his neWheWs,
and conveyed herself away at the expira-
tion of the honey -moOnl Nor like the
wife of Bishop Cooper who jealous Of his
books, consigned the labor of many years
to the flames. Nor like the wife of Sir
Henry Seville, whose affection was so
strong as to cause her frequently to destoy
his most valuable manuscripts, because
they monopolized so much Of his attention.
Neither should-she resemble In character
Mrs. Barclay, who made both herself aud
husband ridiculous for her great public
Admiration of his abilities. She consider
ed him a little less than a demi-gO She
should either be like the lady Of
Daeier, who was his. equal in eruditiOn
and his superiorin taste, but whose good
sense causei her to respect and give place
tY her husband at all times and on all Oe>
casiOns, and whose love for him kept her
from the slightest feeling Of presumption
because she was bis equal in mind-or as
the wife of Wieland, domestic woman,
who, though not much given to study,
was of a calm, even temperament, and al
ways soothed instead of exciting her hus-
bands irritable nature.
