. Printers and Printing*
There is a great deal more truth than fancy in
Ih’c extract from an article on the subject
of printers ond printing, written by J. T. Bucking,
ham,'Esq:j of Boston, a veteran of the. press; and
there are hints cdntdtned in it which some ol those
who desire their lucubrationilo be placed before the
world might profit bjr tho consideration of. • -
“ Many who condescend to lildimnate .the'dark
world wllh tho firo of tJicir genius through the col*
umnsofa newspaper little think of (he lot of tho
printer, who almost suffocated by the smoke of a
lamp, sitg iip till midnight to correct his falsegram
nier, bad orthography, and worse punctuations, t
have seen the arguments of lawyers, in high repute
as scholars, sent to the printer in their own baud
writing—many-wortls, and’dspecially technical and
foreign terms, abrovialed, words, misspelled, and few
or no points, und those if there were any, en*
entirely oat of place. I have sceMbe sermons of
eminent divines sent to the press without; points or
capitals to designate the .divisions .of the sentences
—sermons which, ifpoblislied with the imperfections
of the manuscript, would disgrace the printer’s devil
If ho were the authjr. Suppoie-lhoy Imd boon so
printed. Tho printer would have been treated with
scorn and contempt as on illiterate blockhead—as a
fellow better filed to bo a woodsawyor than d printer
Nobody would have believed that such gross and
palpable faults were owing to the ignorance dr core
loesnesß.of the author. And no one but the practical
printer knows how many hours a compositor, and
after him a proof reader, is compelled to spend in
reducing to a readable condition manuscripts that
the writers themselves would bo puzzled to read.”

A CHARMING STORY
One of the editors of the New Orleans Picay
une, in a. recent article on.lhp'moral culture of the
affections, relates (he following'pretty story: ..
. In (he course of our peregrinations, we Were
orico Introduced (o a family Cohslsting of a. widow
lady and daughters.; .The elder'was about
twenty, and exceedinly-interesung, well,educated,
and of considerable personal ln thq
general, demeanor of the sisters there wnsi a stri
jking contrast; the youngest was all gaityi with
a transparent candor on her features (hat enabled
you to read her very heart. Every word, every
move, of the elder, evinced some predominant
idea-Mpal, elie habitually “chewed the bud of
hitter melancholy What -that idea was, in a
young girl, of Course every body might divine.—
After a little lime, a Hide intimacy having sprung
up between tis and the widow, the cause of the
melancholy in her' eldest daughter w*as explained
tohs. She. had been‘brought up near a family
wdipre. a youth of hoV;own age, and. a
reciprocal.affection was the result of long years of
intimacy between them. The mother only be-j
came award of the state of her daughter's feelings
by the demand for hef hand madefy the I
(The position 'youngcouple 'was such, ini
worldly laffnirs, as to render* their roar-|
riago imprudent in- the -extreme."'..The widow*,
therefore, pointed out to her child all the. evil con-1
sequences which it would entail upon her, amt the j
! hitter, like & sehslble young woman, concurred in
the mother 8 views. It was then agreed ohbe

and (he family accordingly established them&elves
at a spot forty miles off, whore wo first saw them,

Circumstances shortly after called us to inoih
er.part of the country, but about nine months sub
sequently, we. were again thrown into intercourse
with the family at the same place. Somewhat to
our surprise, we. found the widow with (he. young
est daughter,only; the elder had left her home
forever. The explanation was readily given to
It appeared, that, notwithstanding, every*effort
on the; part of the young lady, the passion sho
had conceived for .the companion of her infancy
could not be eradicated* • Her gloom and despon
dency daily, hourly increased*-, She tiUerdcli.no
complaint, but it was plain that ipemory, “like a
worm m the bud/* preyed on her young heart.—

Jived, whilst the latter was endeavoring to rouse
her from Jier melancholy, by descanting on the

•“ Look, ma, at yonder oak alone in the middle
of that ploughed field! 1 would rathei bb Mor-,

than-be.the bride of a prince!**

a moment; and then burst into tears, } ‘ .»
