Wanted-a Printer.

Wanted printer" says a cotempo-
rary. Wantcd-a mechanical curiosity
with brain and fngers-a thing that viii
set so many types 4 day-a machine that
viii think and act, but still a machine
being who undertakes the most systematic
and monotonous drudgery, yet one the in
genuity Of man has never supplanted me
chanicaly-that's printer
A printer-yet for all his sometime dis
sipated and reckless habits-a worker, at
al times and hours, day and night; sitting
up in close and unwholesome Office, when
gay crowds are hurrying 10 the theatres
later still, when the street revelers are gone,
and the city sleeps-in the fresh air of
morning-in the broad and gushing sun
light-some printing machine is at his case,
with his eternal, unvarying click click !
Click! click the polished types fall into
the stick-the mute integers of expression
are marshaled into line, and march forth as
immortal print. Click and the latest in
telligence becomes old-the thought, prin-
ciple-the idea living sentiment Click
click from grave to gay, item after item
robbery, a murder, a bit of scandal, a
graceful and glowing thought-are in turn
closed blythe mute and impressive fingers
Of the machine, and set adrift in the sea of
thought. He must not think of the future,
nor recall the past-must not think of home.
Of kindred, of wife, or of babe-his work
lies before him, and thought is chained to
his copy.
You know him by his works, who read
the papers and are quick at typographical
errors-whose eye may rest on these mute
evidences of eeaseless toll correspondents,
editors and authors, who scorn the simple
medium of your fame, think not that the
printer is altogether maehine-think not
he Is Indifferent to the gem of which he is
but the setter-a subtle ray may penetrate
the recesses of his brain OF the flowers he
gathers some may leave their fragrance upon
his toil-work fingers But when you seek a
friend, companion, adviser when you would
elevate one who for sympathy may repre-
resent either or both-when you want Judg-
es, Legislators, Governors and Presidents
o, ye people, advertise 'Wanted-a
printer.

From tie North american Farmer.
OCTOBER.

Upon the brown and far-of hills
The haze lies soft and blue
While nuts are dropping thick and fast
Where Summer wild flowers grew.
The naples gold and crimson leaves
Like blOod-stained banners gleam,
And purple astors ope their bloom
Beside each purple st.eaT.
The woods like some grand temple stand
Beneath the glowing skies,
While down the long, dim isles, the haze
Like slumb' ring incense lies.
No organs deep, majestic notes
Come pealing on the air
No choral strain triumphant notes
Along these arches fair.
No voice is heard-no sound, save but
The brooklet's rip ling flow,
Or whistling quail in clover thick,
Where scarlet berries grow.
Perchance some frightened rabbit tread
May wake and echo there,
Or drowsey hum of honey bee
Fall on the dreamy air.
The sunfower and the golden rod
Their gaudy hues unfold,
And seem as if some Midas touch
Had changed them into gold
The grapes in purple clusters hang
Upon the clinging vine,
And in the orchard, mid the leaves,
The ruby apples shine.
But through the forests, DER the hills
A voice come whisp' ring low
1t murmurs of the wintry winds
And of the falling snow.
The crimsoned leaves to earth must fall,
And breezes o er them sigh,
Oh sad it seems, that ought SO fair
Should ever fade or die
Weread on every falling leaf
This lesson most sublime:
That resurrection holy power
Shall triumph over time.
For though the summer flowers must fade
The Spring with sun and rain
Shall call them from the hill and vale
To bud and bloom again.

The, Evening STAR. Disaster.

The, .sRyening: Starr Disaster

Now York to New OrleanA The following is
extracted from tho. statement Of passenger
who escaped: - -
At3A.N., October I'd, VIC commenced bail
ing tho Ghip from the enginc-roorn Sand alter

their might, and with all tho strength Of
frenzy and despair. At about 4 An, the star.
board ruddcr chain got ont of the shicvc, and
tho whccl.houses wcrc washed overheard. At
5A.H., tho onginc was thoroughly disabled, in
spite OF the Supcrhuman efforts Of tho chicfen.
ginecr aud his assistants. The increase Of tho
water In the ships hold soon drove the men
from their duty by the cargo shifting .te..;
-. Tho hurricane was oil this timc blowing
with fury which was fearful, terrific and
appalling in the extreme At about o.A.x. tho
captain went into the cabin and notified the
passengers that he had done all in his power,
and that the ship would certainly 20 down.
Some of the scamcn were at this moment
assisting in getting the boats free from the
fastcnings to the slip The captain was ex.
horting the passengers to act coolly. The
storm continued to howl in the most fearful
and depressing manner, and now came the
most thrilling moment Of our trying time.
The women, sllrioking frishtfully, rushed on
deck in the most frantic manner, tearing their
hair, and in many ways acting. more like lu.
natics than beings endowed with reason.
Reason at this moment had certainly yabdicatcd
its throne, and nothing bnt tho widest stage
OF madness had the poor beings como TO-, The
men were equally as violent; though, for
such 4 scenc, il mny have been worsc. Tho
