'So you set there all day and cut pieces from the newspapers; I think I should like that, it is so much like patch work.' 'Yes, madam, we exci - ssorizo some, the' we are obliged to weave considerable cloth ourselves. Suppose you occupy our chair, and give the public your ideas of editing a paper.' 'Me! goodness! I wouldn't sit down here and write where every body is writing, alone, for the world; writing makes a per son so cross. Besides, your table is all ink, it would soil my new dress; why don't you have a nice mahogany table and nice white curtains at the windows? What makes you hang those dusty old papers in the room? If I was obliged to stay here, the floor should be washed and a carpet laid down; it must be dreadful to live in such a manner.' 'O, those are our files; we couldn't dis pense with them very well; and as for a carpet, we fear it would frighten away our customers.' 'Dear me, the gentlemen are so careless about everything nice that I don't think they are comfortable unless their rooms are all littered up. Did you write all these sheets to day?' 'Certainly, and we are not through yet.' 'Why it takes me a whole day to com pose and copy a letter. I hope you don't scrawl and blot so when you write to the ladies?' 'We never had that pleasure, madam.' 'No—you don't write for them either, or you would not print such dry stuff as you do.' 'Don't put anything more about that Oregon or Congress in the paper, will you —it is so dull. But what are those men doing in the other room, with their sleeves rolled up, and making . motions as though they were going to fight somebody. 'Those are our compositors setting type; you see they have a stick in one hand, and they place the types in with the other.' don't see any sticks, unless you call the little piece of iron so; what names you have; I always thought a stick was to walk with.' 'Wall hours makes the words walk, those little boxes that we call cases, con tain the letters, and the printers put them together into words and sentences by the aid of that litlle piece of iron you speak of.' 'Well, I declare! Doctors and lawyers I knew had cases, but 1 never knew that printers had before.' 'Certainly, madam; they sometimes aro foul cases and hard cases, too; but what I can be expected of those who lead the life of devil.' GEO. GWIN 'Why, do they? I'm sorry to hear it. Do tell me what that man is filling that trough with water for.' 'lre is going to wet paper, you know—' -4 0 yes, - I tl7ought yOu &prialed your pa pers and ironed them, to make them look so smooth; and I suppose this great gal lows looking machine is your wangle.' 'That's the press, madam, and this han dle hero is the Archimedean lever which moves the world. Just notice its power, you preceire it is a broken lever —' 'Why in the world don't you have it mended. The men are always so slack; but what are those things that rest►able pklbure' frames?' 'Those are what we term galleys.' 'You have galleys, hey? I did'nt know that printers were so much like Romans before. 'Look yonder—what is that boy doing!' 'Oh, lie is distributing a handful of pi.' shouldn't think a handful of pie would be much amongst so many.' 'What are you. going to do with those slips of printed paper? 'These are proofs, and we are obliged to read them ; won't you sit down and help us?' 'No, indeed! I can't tear to road any kind of proof, unless sometimes in trials for breach of promise. I don't believe the ladies would snake very good prin ters.' 'Pardon us, madam, but we think they would. Their slender fingers would be the very things for handling small caps, nonpareil, agate, pearl and minion; they might do well with long primer.' . . .. l'Psliaw, don't mention it,l . nover could bear the name of long primer since ma used to make me learn the catechism out of it.

(Ho takes and ho Halts her.) ar Two things wade to bo lost—siu- c4i, o 011rittgr The Cultivation of Basket Willow In the United States appears, from facts which have come to our knowledge, to be a subject deserving serious toimuleration. It is stated, upon the best information, that the value of the annual importation of the article into this country amounts to nearly five millions of dollars, and that large as the quantity may seeni, it does not satisfy the consumption. The supply is derived from France and Germany, and the price paid her ranges from $lOO to $l3O per ton weight. There are three varieties of the plant regarded as best suited for basket making, farming, tanning and fen cing. Of these, the Salix Viminalis is most used in the manufacture of baskets, and, under favorable circumstances of soil and culture, an acre of ground will yield at least two tons weight per year, costing, when prepared for market, about $35 per ton. The species is the Salix Cupua, or Huntingdon willow, adapted for basket making, but more extensively employed by ,English farmers for hoop poles and fen cing. When used for the latter purpose, the manner of planting is described to be "by placing the ends of the cuttings in the ground, and then working them into a kind of trellis work, and passing a willow withe around the tops, so as to keep them in shape for the first two years. The tops are afterwards cut off yearly, and sad to basket makers, thus obtaining a fence and crop front the same ground." The hurdle fences of England removable at the pleas ure of the proprietors, are also made from the Salix Capua. The third kind of wil low to which we have reference, is the Salix 416 a, or Bedford willoW, which is held in high esteem as a shack tree, and very generally cultivated for this use in England. It is remarkable for its beauty and rapid growth—affording a Food shade, it is said, in two years after planting. The bark is, also, much prized for its superior tanning properties, while its wood, from its fine grain and susceptibility of a polish as fine as that made of rosewood or mahogany, is in extensive requisition for shoemakers' lasts, boot trees, cutting boards, gun and pistol stooks, and house timber. This, too, is the willow that is chiefly used in England in the manufacture of gunpow der. An acre of the wood, after ten years 'from planting, has sold for £155. As respects the practicability of growing in this country the willows enumerated ex periment by a number of enterprising, far mers and horticulturists in New York and other States, has been made successfully on a small scale. The soil and cli mate of the United States are, in many ;Places, favorable to the cultivation of the plant, and but little care is necessary to bring it to perfection. Those persons who have engaged iu the enterprise, and have experience in the work of raising this spe cies of vegetable for manufacturing pur poses, assert confidently that it can be grown profitably in numbers of the States, at $5O per ton weight. It ii also said, upon well ascertained data, that there are hundreds of thousands of acres of land here, either not improved at all, or yield ing but a very small per cent per annum, which could be made, by occupying them with the ozier, productive of immense pro fits. On this point, an intelligent gentle man who has a practical acquaintance with the subject, says: "Every farmer will acknowledge mead ow land to be poor that will not yield a ton of hay to the acre, which, when cured and in market, seldom sells for more than $l2. All men who are acquainted with the growth of willow for market, well know that an acre of land ought to yield at least one and a half tons weight of it.-- The cost of preparing willow for market would not exceed $4O per ton. Now, vs timating hay at $l2 per ton, and willow at $l2O, deducting from the willow $4O per ton for preparing for market, there is a balance in favor of the willow of $BO per acre:" TLe feasibility of the cultivation in the United States.has been, hitherto, and very naturally, decried by importers, who have represented the crop to be liable to damage from flies, and have also alleged the price of labor to be too high to allow of fair re numerating returns. In contradiction of this, we hero cite the testimony of Mr. W.- (1. Haynes, of New York, who is occupied' in the production of the willow for mechan ical uses. Ho says:—.l have grown as good a quality of willow as is raised in any part of the world. That taken front two acres, cut last year, yielded me, clear of all expense, the snug little sum of $333 . 75 t If I had the means, I would purchase lands and plant thousands of acres of wil low, and find a ready market for it." To convince those who have not investi-1 gated the subject of the lucrative nature of the trade, it is sufficient to state that the large importation of baskot-willow, made during last summer, by four or five l hoses iu New York, was not equal to oven half the demand, which is increasing every 13.-4 :f hn• hoar,. tligenVer. NUMBER 11 : ed by one who has industriously collected the statistics, that the amount of money paid for willow-tirskets alone, in the city of NeW eiceeded $1,000,000, and that the stun paid for baskets shipped to to the Southern and West India markets, probably reached $2,000,000 snore.— These fads are certainly important and well worth the reflection of nice who are properly situated for embarking in a busb: - ness which, in all points of view; promises advantages so decided and great. Tho native product would always command zr sale here, in preference to that imported, by reason of the cleanness of the crop and its freedom front the bruizing and break age occasioned by packing iu a ship's hold, not to mention that the imported article is the mere refuse of the foreign crop, which is generally carefully picke by the French and German basket-makers, who retain the beat qualities for their own manufacture into fabrics subsequently ex ported to this country. Besides the inducements which an ex tensive domestic demand for the willow holds out to our agriculturists, Great Brit ain annually imports from the continent a large quantity of it, and there is no.',•feason why producers of the raw material here should not supply the consumption of gfig , land as well as of the United States. In' short, the project of cultivating the Salia 4 Vitninalis, and other species of the plot' adapted to manufactures, appears worthy to claim the earnest attention of the Amer? loanfernier; and, in view of the obvious rewards which it would yield flit labor and' capital ; we are surprised the subject has not long since been discussed in the agri cultural societies of the lead, and fried' thoroughly by liberal and enlightened ex periment. It is not yet too late to render it a valuable source of private and nation al revenue.—North .firneri can: Printer's Language, Every profession has its technical terms, of course the Printers have a "small smat tering," which is - only intelligible to the craft.
