Authors and Printers.

To those who are inclined to grumblc
because a slight mistake may happen to
occur in any Illesibly written article they
may be disposed to send to some newspa-
per, We would commend the following
from the "Reminiscences" of L. j. Buck
ingham: MANY who condescend to illu-
inmate the dark world with the fire of their
genius through the columns of u newspa-
per little think of the lot of the printer,
who, almost sutfocated by til. smoke of II
sits up till midnight to correct bad orthog-
raphy and worse punctuation. l have
seen the arguments of lawyers, in high re-
pute as scholars, sent to the printer, i'll
their own handwriting, MANY words-es-
pecially technical aud foreign tcrms-ab-
brcviated, words mis- spelled, aud 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 capitals to designate the divisions
of sentences sermons which, Unpublished
with the inpcrfcctions of the manuscript
would disgrace the printers devil, if he
was the author. Suppose they had been
printed; the printer would have been
treated with scorn and contempt-as an H.
literate bloekhead-a fellow better fitted
to be wood sawyer than printer. No
body would have believed such gross and
palpable faults were owing to the igno-
rance or carelessness of au author. Aud
no one but practical printer knows how
many hours the compositor, and after him
the proof reader, is compelled to spend in
reducing to readable condition manu-
scripts that the writer himself would be
puzzled to read"
This, in whole or in part, will, apply to
ut least two-thirds of the writer's for the

self too good to be troubled with the la
Dor of finishing its work, Notwithstanding
it is the finishing hand that gives the mas
ter stroke. But too frequently, however,
it is not laziness, it is Ignorance that com-
pels writers to leave their performances
half done. Masy who have something of
u reputation as authors can neither punctu-
ate, spell, nor write grammatically-to
say nothing of their sprawling penman-
ship. Aud, 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 50
to all sensible men--but those who assume
them think them diguifed! 1t is no small
annoyance to have anything to do with
such characters-and we have sometimes
wished it was penal otfense to correct an
authors manuscript. But we suppose we
shall always be bothered with the stupidi.

Peter the Great.

The famous Menxikoff had shed his
blood in battle aud exposed his life to de-
fend the life of his master, Peter the Great.
But joined to his many brilliant qualities
were great vices, his cupidity and ambi-
ton were without bonds. he used for his
own advantage large sums designed for
the public benefit. Having left st. Peters
burg in the suite of the Emperor. who
was fastening to Astrachan with the de-
sign of surprising aud taking possession Of
that city. he learned on the way that he
had been denounced. aud that the Emperor
was fully informed Of his rohberies and cx.
tortons.
The gloomy countcnance and silence of
the prince, whose inhcxiLle severity he
knew, announced to him his disgrace; he
believed himself already preeipitated from
tho height of honor to opprobium and mis-
cry, the desert of Siberia the solitude of
long exile, the headman's axe, came by
turns before his imagination. his blood
took fire and malignant fever attacked
him. For three weeks he lay in a
wrctched chamber in a state of frightful
dclerium, Finally be swoks AMI locked
auxiously around the cabin-he seemed
abandoned. only one man was near him---
only Que cared for him, one voice only ad-
dressed him words of comfort. 1t was
that of the Emperor. Peter the Great.
This unlocked for sight restored to him
life and strength, burning tears rolled
down his face; he fell at the feet of the
monarch, H" T.

him up, "for three weeks have not left

Ashby treated his prisoners with that
