THE PRINTER'S MISSION.
BY FREDERICK WING COLE.
To hold and trim the torch of Truth
And wave it o'er the darkened earth;
To w.y thle.yearning heart of yonth,
And give the earnest thought its birti;
Abroad upon thy wing to fly.
Froni off thy never-resting wing.
Upon the crowds that blindly grope
In blank despair, a spray of hope,
This is thy mission to thy kind.
Thou mighty Mercury of Mind.
% "hat though thy torch be often fed
From fautes where falsehood sits enshrined;
And'poison mingles with the bread.
Thou givest to the hungered miod;
What though the press pro'lific teems
With idle trash and skeptic dreams;
Give open field, and humbly wait.
'Till thou shalt see their final fate,
Truth needs to aid her giant blows,
No vantage ground above her foes.
The patient scribe struck long ago
Upon his slowly yieldinag race,
And iron custom felt the blo'w,
And aft'er years its mark could trace,
Think not that thou shalt leave behind
Upon the Protean pubhin mind
The image that thy choice wotuld iMake--Z
A shape unknowvn to thee 'twill take
But strike l' thy arm shall help to~ mould
This mental mass no longer cold.
Who sent the forth ? Thon' herald rny
Of dawning brightness, which so soon
fls tadg~ht us that was far from day,
Which boasting Athens thought was' noon !
Was it from Fautstuas' brain alone
Thou had'st tbj being? Hast thou grown
In skill so wise, in strength so great.
To sport wvitb'fot or sway the state?
I see thy brighitening ath. it tends
From igher sourtotnobler ends.
Thou art the child of Him tho-bri~nga
Fromt man's device His own decrce:
A minister of holy things
H is providence will make of thee.
The Gospel Angel. far and wide
O'er earth will find thee at his side.
And, while lhe sends in cadence clear
His message to the heedless ear,
Thine is a missing from on high.
To bald it to the steadfast eye.
Then speed the Press! It is the heart
Frain whieb the mental pulse is fed;
Then speed the Presat Its throbbings dart
Where mall would else be cold and dead.
It gives a forts2 to mortal strife.
Aud struggles of the inner life,
here errors traeead clashm and fall,
And truth shouts trinmph o'er tham all.

By otne great mind-controlling. Mind.
Disappointed Love and its Dreadful
Conseuences.-An English paper gives

addressee were etuelly re'jected by the fair

DIGNITY OF MECHANIC ART.
Men talk about the dignity of Mechanic
Art. and write about it, who never feel,
and never have felt it; who have just sense
enough to see, and that hut coldly. that
there is a truth in educated labor, and that
to keep down the artisan, they must mag
nify the art. Out of respect to themselves,
they lie in respect to that, and chuckle
that their hypocrisy answers its end-that
of keeping down by a few hollow, but
honiod words, a spirit, that if it should
rise, would sweep away their exclusivism
and scatter to the wiinds of heaven. And
it does answer its end-for they swim on
the surface of society, while the ear-tickled
mechanicgrovels contedly in the mire of
its bed, peeping now and then timidly up
from out the filth in which he suffbcates
and crawls, at-the glitter and whirl that
sparkles (above hint, and in which, if he
had the spirit of. any hut a kennelled
hound, he would demand and take a right
ful place. God's image was- never iucar
nated in a nobler form that. that of a irue
mechanic-and for such a being to creep
and cower around the foot of respectabili
ty's ladder, when he ought to plant him
self upon the topmost round, and see none.
above him but the Master Mechanic of
the Universe, is treason to justice, decency
and common sense ! Yet thefe tio sits
and crooches, knawing his hudgry bone or
crust, and looking up piteously at inter
vals, to beg, as now, with it sniffling
whine, for the restoration of some petty
pecuniary privilege, of which he has been
but recently robbed, when he ought to
stand erect in the figure and attitude of
freedom and equality, and assert and vin
dicate his rights in the face of earth and
heaven, fnr the honor and dignity of his
art, if not of his nature! And what is the
dignily of his art? Why, all the progress
that man has made, from the earliest and
lowest stage of savage barbarism and bes
tiality, to the enlightened refinement anid
civilization of the forty-third year of the
uinotcerrth century,has been the result
:f its work. Tdkb from the earth ita
achievements, and there would be literal.
ally nothing left but desert sedl and land,
a few human brutes' possessed of a few
maxims of government and morals, a few
sounds of speech, a few simple elements of
science, a few vague traditions, and a few
notesof music.-andi the lesser orders of
animated being, who are God's creatures,
and not the work of,another, It is the pe
culiar providence of5Icchanic Art to re
alize and conserve every good or beautiful
thought that roast'N apprehends or genius
conceives. and but for its agency, the
thick gloom of eternal night had hung
heavy on the world -of mind and matter
from creation's dawn to the death of Na
ture. City and village, temple and altar,
pntacc and prison. and every thing in
short, of use or ornament, from a needle
to a navy, are the products of its potency.
Without it, the Law. midgit seize, bbt could
net hold its victim, Finance might gather,
but could not ;secure its treasures, Com
merce could not flourish or even exist.
The man -of God for the dome beneath
which he stands, for evert the sto'red vol
ume, the word of Truth from which he
reads, owes to it the debt of having made.
War could not launch its thunders, nor
Peace weave its garlands but by its per
mission. Neither soil nor sea could be
ploughed without i -it has, smoothed,
enriched, adorned and civilised the world.
What is the dignity of Mechanic Art !
Why, it transcends the embraces of all
othier dignities, save the god-gift of the
mind, atid in thits ittias atn inheritance of
birthright.
Such is the di'ntti of Mechanic Art of
A-hich the operatve"-mechanie is the rep

and sha ie, and cotntrol pnblic opiinion, ho w
few ! rhe truth is, that' the dignity of
Mechanic Art is not appreciated, is not
recognized even, except asian oily phrase,
to sooth the troubled sea of~mechanic feel
ing when it threatens to ran. It is asser
ted that mechamnics are held, in as high es
teem, and occupy as promitient a place as
any other members of cotnmunity;- but
this is the'merest cant of' doi.ltyrnny,
and in ay, but d' rpec ltiyd'poiht of

per classes, from having usurped and kep
the upper hand of them in all that relate:
to social position and bidial madagement
Nay, more, their civil -ights are withhelk
from them, and kept in obeyance, and it
they will be until they are wrested baclt
by the strong hand of independent self
respect. In this State there are some ten
thousand lawyers, and above one hundred
and forty thousand mechanics. Nowi by
our democratic scheme of government,
founded upon the preponderance of num
bers, the influence of mechanics in legisla
tion, ought to be as fourteen to one, against
that of lawyers, yet the latter procure what
statiles itiey please, to be enacted, and the
former-none! The one, ais authority
by law, to shut up his debtor in a dun
geen, and the other is denied even a lieu
apon his own labor! So, too, in a less de
gree, perhaps, of otfiet classes. Mer
chants, dealers, monopolists, add fioan
ciers, find it infinitely easierii procure the
passageof many laws fai- their peculiar
benefit, than mechanics do a single tte
for theirs. There is a monstrous injaustice
in this. It proves that the dignity of Me
chanic Art is not regarded as it should be
that the mechanic is despised, conteined,
end scorned as he truly is, and as he dp
serves to be, while he sticks to the mire
anti dirt of hit meanriess; sto6pin, io le
scousged, and yielding to be trodden un
de'r lout; while he is eintent to beg with
sneaking ajnbjcaancy for a crust, when lie
ought to demand and take the whole loaf
by virtue of his own right, by the maqli
ness of his own nature. The crawler dd

DiATN OF CROCKETT.
The fellowing is a graphic sketch ofihe
last mottients of a brave man:
Col. Crockett wounded and closely pur
sued by a' number of the enemy, retreated
into the church, felling them as they ap
proached: He stationed himself in a niche,
in the corner. determined to face the roo
to the last, and sell his life dearly; with
his rifle, and a superabundance of side
arms, hebhewed and shot them down with
the same awful certainly that was want to
chdraeterke his indomitable spirit. His
position rendered access to him utterly im
possible, ecxcept by a direct and exposed
in.fro t..; and after some eight or ten of
tbi wete-~aid before him a feeliig of
awe seemed to seize hold of these assail
ants. One of thain who could speak a
little broken English, probably preferring
to have the signal honor of capturing so
noble a specimen of American valor, to
present to his dread master" said to
Crockett "Surrender!" "No! I am an
American !" and as he spoke he sent a ball
through the heart of a paralyzed foe. He
appeared for a moment like a wounded
Tiger, strengthened and bouyed by each
additional wound; now hewing them down
with his well tried sword-next dealing
death with his fire arms. His person
drenched with his own blood, his' ittength
must soon yield to its loss. Yet such phy
sical power wrought to the highest degree
of excitement, can perform incredible pro
digies. This was the last concentrated
energy of a powerful man aroused, animat
ed and guided by one of the noblest aYri
butes of man--loe of liberty. lie knew
for what his life about to be sacrificed ;
that devastation and butchery would for
low the iootsteps of his heartless rues, that
women would be sacrificed to satiate the
desires of the conqueror; and, feeling the
holy inspiration of a dying patriot, he
fought manfully till the loss of bslool and
approach of death stayed his upraised arm;
his rifle was broken to pieces,- his pistol
fell to the floor, and nothing but his faith
fl sword was left. In the agony of death,
with a terrible grasp, he brought this last
weapon upion the bead of the nearhst, as
sailaint, and fel[ vietoriously -across his
b~ody into the erms of death. Itn this cor
ner of the church there were twen'ty-sia
dead Mlexicatns; add no o'ther Amrericanm
having fought or fallen at th'at point it i's
considered beyond all rea'sbnable doubi
that all of tlien'i felit by the hands o 'rTn.
ne's's'ee's faioite ason- I Al w~ere now dead.
Not a man' left to relate th~e wonderful
deed of his illustrious band of heroes ! Not
a compatriot left to rear a mon'ument to
t'hdi? memory ! J3,st, alb! no' monument is
required to perpmetuate their fame. Sc
long as freedom has an abiding place i:1
Amnerica" will their heroic deeds an'proud
names be held sadi-ed!
4 Joke noe Jok.-A New Yorki papiet
states that on Monday last, about o'cloek
in the evening, a man knocked at the doot
of the house 11 Walker street, occupied
by Dlr. Andrews,'but there being only two
young Iadies i't the time, one of them
went to' the door, antI saw a man with
something nicely wrappedl up in a basket,
wvho stated that he had ~t a'child to leavei
there. The yong lady retebering that
it was April fool's day, treated the mat
ter as a joke, mind thought perhaps it wvas
only a few kittens, and therefore laughed
heartily, told the man that it wouldn't dlo;
that the child didi no), Ilong' thereautiij
mordover tilat they would not l ave it ; bii
he insisted that it allo, and dropping -the
basket at theladly's fedt;rah ol'. 11 was

consternation this' discovery. 'occasionec
was extreme, and a neighbor was ininiei
diately sent for, and the little risponsi
bility was sent to the almhouse.
An EccentHe pnd WealthyBeggar.-It
the parish church of Rollierhithe, a table
has been erected to the memory of Jame
Smith, who, is designated esquire. The
career of this man has been a very extraor
dinary one, arid it sihows how weslth it
amassed by strict ebonomy., .He .was .
beggar of no usual description, and; tii6ugl
advanced in years, was one of the most
activo of his class. His cootjnued rouicl
of employment was through 210 parisies,
and his icdustry was well rewarded.- He
left an juitnense deal of property. the chief
part for charitable purposes. Non.e out of
the 210 parishes have been forgotten where
he was kindly treated. To almost all he
has left funds, but has carefully excluded
from his will, all parochial, authorities in
wiiose district he fancied he had been ne
glected. To the parish of Rotherhithe,
whiicli was always a favorite resting place
of his, he has left property wlieli produces
?40 a year, and the interest of this money
is thus disposed of. Upon each Sunday,
after the sermon in the church, dne hun
dred and twenty leaves of the value of 61
each are distributed among the poor old
people of the parish, who thus profit by a
BIeggar's wealth and gratitude, for no doubt
many ofithe recipients of his bounty have
given their mite to the rich eccentric men
dicat.-English paper.
Too much weight for age.-A man tp
parently about fifty-five years of age. says
the Cincinnati inquirer, was employed on
Tuesday afternoon, carrying in coffee, in
one of the large houses just above Sixth
on Main street. atid in trying to do too
much he overdid himself. One sack is a
pretty good weight for a man to carry on
his shoulder. lie boasted that he could
carry two, and offered to bet the price of
his day's labor thai le could accomplish
it. The wager was taken by one of. his
companions, and the two bags were put
on. As soon as the second sack was ad
ded to his ordinary. loiid, hq stn Bred a
stip oi tvd and fell, and both sacks fell
upon his h'reast, literally driving the breath
out of his body. By the applications of
brandyhand viplent rubbings, lie was restor
ed iatu to life ins ubout half an hour, and
he has probably learned such a lesson as
will prevent hin from trying so foolish
a trick again.
An Ubsolete Ide.--' WVha are yon?'
said the recorder yesterday. to a nonde
script looking character, who stood up in
the dock before hint.
'I aint nothing,' said Bill Button-fur
such was his name.
'You are nothing.' said the recoi'der.
'No, I aint,' said iill;.'Ini a hobsolete

me to be the vouderful lion, or the Bengal
tiger, 'cause he stirred rue up with a long

'What tdo you fulfow far a living?' said
the recordet.
'C follows nothing aid I don't live at

Bill; 'I haini got no character, no how.
I'd have no objection to go in cahoot with
a decent feller for a character, but I hait
got funds to purchase on rmry diwn account.
'Well, I shall send you to the work

'Perhaps when you come out you will find
