{ Morning Paper Printers.

Morning paper printers arc consider
ed by the world in general as sad set.
They resemble the sailor in prodigality,
working ut a slayish business through
the long hours of the night while the
rest of the world are enjoying their
natural repose, and who awake in the
morning to find the fruits of the prin.
ter's labor ready at hand, to be enjoyed
over the morning meal. Like the owl,
they are lost sight of in the day time,
and only emerge forth when darkness
has again spread her mantle. They
have little time for recreation, or for the
pleasures of every-dap life; they make
few acquaintanccs outside of their own
immediate circle, and it is only when
they have completed their weekly labors,
and have forgotten for time their ar
duous and almost ceaseless duties, that
they appear in their true light.
Visit any of the saloons frequently by
the craft on Saturdays, their day of rest,
and listen to them as they gather around
the social board. Among them you will
find men who have travelled over the
globe, filling positions of trust and emol-
ument in almost every capacity, soldiers,
lawyers, actors and many other profess
sions. One noted character among tn EN-
is known as the "Commodore," having
held at ono time prominent position in
the navy or one of the South American
Republics, but circumstances has forced
him to return once more to his trade.

lights they are numbered by the hundred.
They seem to gil with ease and ability
any position which fortune may call
them to. The world considers them a
cynical set, and if they are, it is not to
be wondered. Deprived, through their
calling, from association with the fairer
portion of humanity, and dealing with
men only through the m d m
of their writings, they lose that
respect for their fellow men which is
natural to the rest of the human spe.
