"Wanted?a printer,'1 says a cotemporary.
Wanted?a mechanical j

A thing that wilbset so many tjrpe a
day?a machine that will think and
~ act, but still a machine?a being who
undertakes the most systematic and
fijdnotonous drudgery, yet one the
ingenuity of man has never supplanted
mechanically?that's a prin*

A printer?.yet for all his, sometimes
dissipated and reckless habits
. ?a worker, at all times and hours,
day and night; sitting up in a close
and unwholesome office, when gay
crowds are hiyrying" to the theatres
?later still, when the street revelers
are gone and the city sleeps?in the
* fresh'air of morning?in the broad
' and gushing sunlight?some printing

unvarying click! click !

read the papers and are quick at typographical
errors, whose eye may
rest on the mute evidences of ceaseless
toil; correspondents,"editors and
authors, who scorn .the simple medium
of.your fame, think not the printer
is altogether a '.machine?think
not that he is indifferent to the gem
of which he is but the setter?:a suBtie
ray may penetrate the recesses of
his brain, or the flowers he gathers
may not leave some of their fragrance!
upon his toil-worn fingers. But when
yoti see a friend, companion, adviser
?when you would elevate one who,
for sympathyj may represent either or
froth?-when you want Judgee, Legi

O, ye people, advertise: "Wanted?

A negro committed violence upon a young
lady in the neighborhood of Carter,s Depot Tennessee,

some soldiers before he for identification, she
seized a gun and blew half his head off.

a fair way of being realized. What a splendid chance,
by tho way, this item would afford us

Of British pluck in modern day,"
