THE PRINTERs.-The following from
the pen of Junius Henry Brown, is true
to the letter:
Printing ink begcts cynicism, as
dampness rheumatism, or foul air fever.
There is no escaping it. Men in printing
offices, whether they prepare or set copy,
contract the disease and suffer from it
more or less, as their mental system re-
spends to or resists it. They are behind
the scenes. They know that the golden
| Soblets the public admires arc only
| pasteboards; that the glittering jewels
are only colored glass; that the crimson
glory OF the tableux is but flash Of red
| fire; that the mouthing fellow who is
lavish Of his dukedoms is in arrears for
his morning cocktail. Life is unidealized
to them from the outset 1t is stripped
of its illusions, and fac names are but
echoes of emptiness. Why expect them
to admire? Why ask them to be ambi-
tious Why look for enthusiasm in
them
The printer understands how reputa-
tions are made. He knows that they are
not blown forth from the trumpet of
fame, but from the trumpet of him who
seeks reputation by performing solos, and
gets it thereby. He is aware that while
genius starves, impudence fattens; that
| while wisdom hides in garret, fippancy
draws on the pave that while inspira
ton pines, management fushcs with
health. He sees that the editorial Ian
guage Of the statesman and artist is ii
the statesman or artists own hand; thai
honors are easy to the man that has the
cffrontery to ask, and the determination
not to be denied No marvel he believes
