Life ia "a Printing Omce.

The subjoined article, from the Print
ing Gazette contains so much fact and
good common sense that we speciality
commend it to those of our readers
who may be disposed to regard the
publication of IA newspaper as a matter
amusement:
Few people are aware of the inside
workings ola printing office, nor of
the annoyance attendant upon the
publication of newspaper. 1t is i'm
possible to form anything like correct
idea of the number of men there are
point about every other time they
meet you, to tell you of some impor-
tant fact that ought to be noticed by
the paper, pro bono pubLicO.-Gene-
rally, however, il turns out that the
informant has an AK to grind, and the
newspaper is to be the free horse on
which heeXpects to ride into public no.
tIce and confidence Or. if not that,
he is constantly annoyed by multi
pllcity of communications which are
always lengthy, and contain nothing
that any one cares to see in print or
know anything of whatever, except
the writer and perhaps one or two
other particular individual, for whose
exclusive benefit it was written, il is
not for moment occurring to the
writer that communications for news
paper should be such as would interest
thousands of rcaders.-The newspaper
business is very exacting on all connec-
ted with it, and the pay is co npar-
atively small. The proprietor risks a
large amount of money for smaller
profits and the editors and printers
work harder and cheaper than the
same number of men in any other pro-
fession requiring the given amount of
intelligence and training. The life has
its charms and pleasant association
scarcely known to the outside world;
but ii has its earnest work and hours
of exhaustion, which, likewise, are not
known to those who think the business
all fun. The idea that newpaperdom
is the charmed circle where the favored
members live life of.ease. free from
care, is mistaken one. Business is
business, and the journal hatsucceeds
is the one that is run on a square busi-
ness footing, with the same system as
a banking establishment.

GOV. Dix on NEsarsler!

We quote the following stern
but admirable expression from the
letter written to DR.. Stephen II.
Tying, by Gov. Dix, declining to
mitigate the punishment of Foster,
who, in April, 1871, murdered
Putnam on Broadway, N. Y, using
a car-hook, an iron rod two feel
long. These words of Gov. Dix
have the ring of true gold.
L deem it due to The good order Of so
"ciety to say that, so far as depends or
ne, the supremacy Of the law viii be
infexibly maintained and that every
man who strikes murderous blow al
"the life Of his fellow must be made
to feel that his own is ia certain peril
eff we cannot by firmness of purpose at
tain this end we may soon be forced t.
acknowledge the disheartening truth
that there is nothing so cheap or so IL
protected as human life. .
