Authors and Printers.

To those who are inclined to grumble be-
cause slight mistake may happen to occur
in any allegible written article they may be
disposed to send some newspaper, we would
commend the following from the Remln-
iscenses Oft. j. Buckingham -" Many
who condescend to illuminate the dark
world with the fire of their genius through
the columns of ahewspaper, little think OF
the lot of the printer, who, almost sufocat-
ed with the smoke of lamp, sits up till
midnight to correct bad orthograpby and
worse punctuation. | have seen the
arguments of lawyers, in high repute as
scholars, sent to the PRIMER, in their own
handwriting, with many words-especially
technical and foreign terms-abbreviated,
words mis-spelled, and few or no points,
and those few if there were any, entirely
out Of place. | have seen the sermons OF
divines sent to press without points or cap
itals to designate the divisions ofsentences; /;
sermons which, published with the imper-
fections of the manuscript, would disgrace
the printers devil, if he we're the author
Suppose they had been printed the prin-
ter would have been treated with scorn and
contempt-as an illiterate blockhead-a
fellow better fitted to be wood-sawyer
than printer. Nobody would have believ-
ed such gross and palpable faults were ow-
ing to the ignorance or carelessness ofan au-
thor. And no one but practical printer
knows how many hours the composltor,
and after him the proof-reader, is compell-
ed to spend in reducing to readable con-
dition manuscript that the writer himself
would be puzzled to read"
This, in whole or in part, will apply to at
least two thirds of the writer's for the press.
Genius is too apt to consider itself too
good to be troubled with the labor of finish
ing its work, Notwithstanding it is the fn-
ishing hand that gives the master stroke
But too frequently, however, it is not lazi-
ness, it is ignorance that compels writer's
to leave their performances half done. Ma
ny who have something of a reputation as
authors, can neither punctuate, spell, or
write grammatically--to say nothing OF
their scrawling penmanship. And as
might be expected, these are generally the
ones to find the most fault, and put on the
most disgusting airs-we say disgusting,
because they are to all sensible menV but
those who assume them think them digni-
fed |. 1t is no small annoyance to have
anything to do with such characters
and we have sometimes wished it was a
penal offence to correct an authors manu-
script. But we suppose we shall always
be bothered with the stupidity of the wise.

Woman, as Seen in the West.

A Western paper thus affectionateizes
"a pretty woman is one of the institu-
tions of the country--an angel in dry goods
and glory. She makes sunshine, blue sky,
and happiness wherever she goes. Her
path is one of delicious roses, perfume and
beauty. She is a sweet poem, written in
rare curls and choice calico, and good prin-
ciples. Men stand up before her as SO
many admiral points, to melt into cream and
then butter. Her words float around the
ear like music, birds of Paradise, or the
perfumes of the Sabbath bells. Without
her, society would lose its truest attraction
the church its firmest reliance, and young
men the very best comforterS and company.
Her influence and generosity restrain the
vicious and strengthen the faint heated.---
Wherever you End the virtuous woman,
you also find fireside bouquets, clean clothes
order, good living, gentle hearts, music,
flight, and modern institutions generally =
She is the flower of humanity, and her as~
piration is the breath Of heaven r

And when his random arrows fly, ltl
The victim falls, but knows not why.
Gaze not upon his shield ofjet,
The shaft upon the string is set;
Look not beneath his azure veil
Though every limb were cased in mail.
Well, both might make martyr break
The chain that bound him to the stake
And both, with but single ray,
Can melt our very hearts away;
And both when balanced, hardly seem
To stir the scales, or rock the BEAM ta.i ~

The CATTLE PLAGUE AND VAcc1NAr1oN-
A few days ago we published some specula-
tons of an English medical journal upon the
probable identity of the cattle plague with
imall pox. The Pall-MalI Gazette of the 9th
instant publishes the following account of an
interesting experiment. which seems to show
that vaccination is an actual preventive:
" Mr.. Thomas Chambers says that Lon
don dairyman, Mr.. B., has kept his twenty
seven cows all through the plague unhurt,
while those of his neighbors have been perish
ing. When asked to account for his immu-
nifty, Mr.. B., explained that he had for years
vaccinated every COW, old or young, which
entered his sheds, and never since lost one
Now, here is an opportunity of testing the
value of the prophylactic on great SCALE
Let the cattle plague commissioners buy that
stable and place among the cows two or three
diseased beasts, and watch the result. If all
escape death, and the majority any seizure at
all, the identity of rinderpest with smallpox
will have been empirically proved, and the
plague will be almost at an end. 1t will re-
main only to vaccinate all cattle as we vacci-
nate all children.
