RETIREMENT.
Oh had we some bright little isle of oi
owl,
far off and alone,
Where a leaf never dies in the still bloom-
In 2 blue summer ocean,
ing bowers,
Aud the bee banquets thro’ ‘a whole year
of flowers.
Where thie sun loves to pause,
‘With so fond a delay,
That the night only draws,
A thin veil o'er the day,
Where simply to feel that we breath that
we live,
Is worth the best joy that life elsewhere
can give,
There with souls ever ardent and pure as
the clime,
We should love as they loved in the first
golden time,
The glow of the sunshine, the balm of the
air, '
Would steal to our hearts, and make ail
summer there.
With affection as free,
From decline as the bowers,
Ana with hope like the bee,
Living always on flowers.
Our life should resemble a long day of
light,
And our death ‘come Slowly, and as the
night. x

TO THE PRINTERS
IN THE UNITED STATES.
GENTLEMEN—
In presenting ist of new prices of
types, some ox
neces:ary. Bg
The former ied
were fixed Hiring a
period in which the materials ‘were dear,
and not casily to be procured, and it is to
be presumed that they had some claim to
be considered modgrate, as, mn 1812, Type
were more than th *e_ per cent lower in
Philadelphia, than in London ; and po ad-
vance was made on those prices during the
late war, although existing circumstances
would have justified the measure. It was
considered that an advance would be an ac-
tual loss to the printers; as the competi-
tion in the printing business had, before
that period, arrived at such a point, tha,
the public were supplicd with printing at
nearly the mimimum ; and also that it
was probable the prices of types would
continue some time alter the return of
peace and recompence for any. advan-
tage that was given up, This has taken
place.
For some time past, types have been
lowered in value, but not in price. They
ave been sold on long, and fre quently un-
certain credit, which produces to the sel-
iery all the effects of reduction of price,
wlitlst to the printer who pays, it is of
comparative little benefit : All the advan-
tage is in favor of those who promise, bu:

rform, as In truth they get: the
ypes for nothing, and the solvent priot-
ers pay for them.
Another ol bye ection tc

!
i1t absorbs the seller’s funds, and; no mat-
|t=r bow industrious or frugal he may be,
sob s bim to all the inconvenicnzes of
poverty.
