A Printer and his Types.
Printers Circular.

Printers Circular.
Benjamin F. Tay lor, the printer.
poet, says:
Perhaps there is no department
or enterprise whose details are less
understood by intelligent people,
than the tart preseryatiye,7 the
achievements of time.
Every day their life long, people
are accustomed to read the nows-
papers and find tault with its state
ments, its arrangement, its looks;
to plume themselves upon the dis
covery of some roguish aeIobatic
type that gets into q frolic aud
stands on its head, or some waste
letter or two in it; but of the pro-
cess by which the newspaper is
made, or the myriad of mills and
the thousands of pieces necessary
to its composition, they know little
aud generally think less.
They imagine they discourse OF
q wonder indeed when they speak
of the fair white carpet, woven for
thought to walk on, from rags that
fiuttered on the back of the beg
gar yesterday.
But there is something more
wonderful still. When we look ut
the one hundred aud fifty-two little
boxes, somewhat shaded by the
touch of inky fingers, tha. CON-
pose the printers "case," noiseless
except the click Of the type as, one
by one, they take their place In the
growing line-we think we have
found marvel of art.
We think how many fancies in
fragments there are In those little
boxes; how many atoms of poetry
and eloquence the printer eau
make here and there, II he only
had little chart to work by; how
many facts in little ''handfnl =
how much truth in chaos.
Now he picks up the scattered
elements until Le holds in his hand
a stanza OF "Gray's Elegy," or q
mouody on "Grimes all Buttoned
up BetOre.r Now he sets a "Puppy
Missing,n and now "Pradise LOST
He arrays a bride in Small Caps"
and a sonnet in nonpareil he an.
nounces the languishing "live" in
one sentence-transposes the word
and deplores the days that are few
aud "evil," in the next.
A poor jest ticks It's way slowly
into the printers hand, like a
clock just running down, aud a
strain of eloqueuce marches into
line letter by letter. We fancy we
can tell the difference by hearing
by the ear, but perhaps not.
The types that told OF a wed.
ding yesterday announce a burial
to. .morrow-perhaps the same let
ters.
They are the elements to make
a world of. Those types are
a world with something In
1t as beautiful as Spring,
as rich as Summer, and as imper-
ishable as autumn flowers frost
cannot wilt-fruit that shall ripen
for all time.

For three years Parsons and my
self led this eventless, humdrum
existence. Like prisoners in cell,

against our sure foundations made
the tower itself tremble and almost
bend like a reed before the blast.
In the midst of the fearful war OF

fully in the gallery watching the
light, his garments wet to the skin
with the water that leaped high in

Old friend forgive the past and let us walk
In peace, the small remainder of our days;
Life is short at best, pity seems
This bitter strife which separate our ways
OF what avail those seornfal chilly looks
They do not speak thy heart, for that be-
lieve,
Is filed from morn til night. with dreams
Of me,
Thy coldness but mock me to deceive.
And now old friend, dear love in days
gone by,
Dear love, cen yet, the bitter words have
passed
Between us, made my hot heart brooded
ore,
Until in secret truthful tears fell fast.
All, now, while yet the year is glad and
young,
Nay we meet, older wiser grown, forgive.
Each others faults, blot out the faultful
past,
And with Gods help, begin anew to live.
