Leva in a Printing Office I once heard an old Journeyman remark lint a printing office was no place for-love making, anil I liavo since experienced the trutli of that expression ; being now perfectly convince*] that the flower of love can never bloom in the midst of tvpea, cases, and printing ink. It was my fortune once (o sojourn for a few day ia tlio village of . Directly opposite the oflice was a pretty, white cottage, with rose-bush clambering around tlio easement, nnd I whs not long in ma king the discovery that the aforesaid cottage with tlio rose-shaded window contained a fair inmate?a flower whoso beauty outshone the roses that clustered around the window. Slio was tlio belle of the village. Her liamo was Mary?sweet, pnetic Mar}*. I have a passion for the name of Mary. It was a beautiful summer morning, and I had raised the window to admit the breeze from the flower-decked fields, and it was not long ere I percived the cottage window was also hoisted and that sweet little Mary was sitting busily engaged with her needle. I worked but litt!c that morsiuf. My eyes constantly wandered toward tlio cottage whero little Mary sat, and all sorts ofstrange fantastic notions whiiled through my brain, and I began to think I felt a light touch of what the poets call love, sliding in at one corner 01 my neart. A few clays pased away, and chance made nics acquainted with Mary. Oh ! she was n creature; she had a form that would have shamed the famous Venus do Medici?a cheek that out-flushed the richest peach, and a lip that would have tempted a bee from its hivo on a frosty morning. I thought as I gazed on her in mute admiration that I had never looked on o?c so exquisitely beautiful. She seemed the embodiment of everything lovely and bewitching. Well, timo passed on, und ono day Mary expressed a desire to visit the printing office. ^ Good," thought I, "what a chance! I'M I have a kiss there?yes, there, in the very midst of the implements of mine art?why shouldn't I ?" Love in a printing office ! Oh ! there was something original in that, and Ire solved to try il at all hazards. Well Mary ranie lo the printing office and I explained to her tho use of various implements of the black art?the press the roller, tho ink, nnd the stand?, and the Vixes of the A. B. C's I took an opportunity to snatch her pretty little white hand ; she drew it back, knocking a stickful of matter into "piy" '*1 must have a kiss for that, my pretty one," said T, and at it I went. I managed to pet my arm around her waist, nnd in struggling to free herself, she upset a galley of editorial, a long nrticlc on the Oregon Question Nothing daunted, I made at her acrain. This time I ws? more sucessful, for I obtained a kins. By Saint Paul, it was a sweet one, and that little witch horo it like mar tyr ; she never screamed once. But as I raised my lips from hers , sho lifted her delicate little hand hand and gave mo a box on the ears that made Bee more stars than were ever viewed by Ilerschel, through his big telescope. Somewhat nettled, and my check smarting with pain, I again seized her waist and said : "Well, if you don't like it, just take back the kiss." She made a desperate struggle, and as she jeiked herself from my arms her foot struck the lye pot, and over it went. An other galley of editorial was sprinkled over the floor, and in lier efforts to reach tlie door her foot slipped and she fell, and in her efforts lo sustain herself her haud?her lily-white hand?the same little hand that enmo in contact with mv eats?oh ! horrible !?was stuck up to the elbow in ink ! Shades of Franklin ! She slowly drew it from the keg, dripping with ink, and asked what use I made of that tar. I began to bo seriously alarmed, and apologized in the best manner I could, and to my surprise she seemed more pleased than angry ; but there was a lurking devil in her eye that told me there was mischief afloat, As I stood surveying the black covering of her hand, scarcely able to suppress a laugh at the strange metamorphosis, she quickly rnised it on in<?n and brought it flown kerslap upon my clieek. Before I could recover from surprised the 6ame little hand had again descended, and left its inky imprint on my other cheek."Why^ Mary," I exclaimed, what are you about "I think you told me you rolled ink on the face of your form," she replied with a loud laugh, and again her hand lit upon me?taking me a broad slap in the middle of my countenance, most wonderfully bedaubing my eyes. With a light step and a merry peal of laughter, she skipped through the door. She turned back when beyond my reach, and her roguish face peering through the door-way, shouted : "I sayT Charley, what kind of a roller does my hand make T' "Oh," said T, "you take too tnuch ink." " Ha ! ha ! " 6he laughed, "well, good bye, Charley, that's roy impression." I went to the glass and surveyed mysell for a moment, and I verily believe that 1 eould have passed for a Guinea Digger without tbeslightest difficulty. "And so,' said I to myself, "this is lore in a printing office. The devil fly away with such love.1 The next morning, when the editor eam< to the office, I rather calculate he foam things a little topsy turvy. However, th? made no difference with me, for I had caiz sled before day light I bore tbe marks c that scene many a day, and now, wheneve I see a" lady entering a printing office, think of little Maty, and keep osy eye : the ink kef. t ' m ..i ^ Oonfoasion of an Onion-Eater. The following "confessions" ? /adeQuin coy, tlio English opium-enter, will doTlioy are contributed to tho Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch : I do not pant for glory. Fame, present or posthumous does not lead me on. I do not rush into print with tho burning ambition of a Cobb or nil Everett. Sleep brings me no excitiug visions of street walls broken out with my name in leters a foot long and wide in proportion, brilliant with blue ami cold and green, or of whole columns of tho New York morning papers, dovoted to the simple but startling announcement that I write exclusively for tho' ,' aRd for nothing else. It is only because the d n* .ell ill pec ret of my Hfo will no longer lie concealed in the gloomy caverns of my sofil that I now "like mr pen in hand.*' I have a cnse, and I feci that that caso ought to ho put. I do not ask the sympathy of the j woild. I do not want Society to hring it self low on my account. I have nothing to suggest, no fault to find, no advice to give. ! I just put iny ca?o. I am an Onion-eater. T love the Onion with a h?ve that it would ho foolish if not mad to attempt to express hy words. Other food I find convenient, and at times even delightful. I may mention spring chi kens. They seldom appeal to me from tiio degiaj dation of the di>h in vain. A beefsteak of j fair propotions, heautiflly brown, with a j cheerful crispness about it, steamed away in its own jolly juice with the animated spirit ol vigoious health, and diffusing an inspiring oder all around, fills me with emotions of gratitude ofjoy, and inclines my heart to Worcestershire. Tlio same, in a somewhat less enthusiastic spirit, may bo said of a tender and trusty mutton chop. The vegetable kingdi.m likewise has charms for me, The potato occupies a high place in my confidence .'.ml esteen. The potato I respect and esteem. The potato I respect under all circttinstances, I could never treat it with anything hut the most devout consideration, not only because of its own inherent worth, but also because the importance of a Special Dispensation (I need not say in behalf of what green island) attaches to it. At the present moment I can think of few worthier objects of affectionate attention than a ba- < ked potato. With what blissstil memories do the words throng the chambers of my soul! It was the mealy minister of happiness untold to childhood's hours, and even now I cannot withstand its fascinating spells. It soothes me with its incense, and comforts mo with the rich treasures of its warm heart. Other fruits of tho husbandman share my sympathy ami favor. But I love the Onion' (I writo Onion with a capital O, and hope the printers will not bring a blush to my cheek by giving it a small o. From what I kno\y of printers as a class, I believe better things of them.) When I confess that my love for the Onion amounts to a passion, an inspiration, a mania ; that awake or in bed, it consumes rne with a iierce mo; that it interteres witti my business, und sometimes makes ino reckless of razor for many days, and utterly oblivious lo clean linen?I am aware that T present myself in a very absurd light indeed, and lay myself entirely open to the public ridicule and conter..pf. lint I have made up my mind to put my case fairly, once and forever, and it shall be. O, how I love that vegetable! I never see a string of Onions swinging idly before a shop-door without pausing and bending a look of afFecliion arid pity upon them. Then am I abstracted from the bustle of the bricks, and translated into an atmosphere rare and ecstatic. Then may depraved juveniles bump violently against me and make vulgarly merry at my expense?I heed them not. Then may crowds collect with eyes dilated and upraised hand?, and policemen all in vain request me, \yith the urbanity for which thev are so eminently distinguished, to move on. By-the by (lie spell breaks. I wave my enchanters a sad farewell, and go wildly up the stre&t. At home, in a dark bin in the cellar, which, I have heard it said, was at one time used as a receptacle for coal, I have at different times stored away a largo quantity of my adored vegetables?as many as a ton of them, I should think?and Iain constantly making'additions to the collections. This is a consecrated spot for me. Hither I resort, as the old academicians used to resort to their sacred groves?for contemplation, reflection, inward peace. Hero do I worship my deity, enshrined in pine wood of a somewhat dingy sort. Here do I pour forth my soul to the divinity, in poetry which I find it impossible to remember long enough or well enongh to commit to paper. But all these are only the external mani . -f :? ?i e?.u i^ovrtuuuo n pnpniuu wuiuu uuroio iuri.ll with its full strength and ardor at meal lime. CoulJ love fulfill its prayers, I would have Onions three times a day. My appetite is ever thus. Whether in their natural state, peeled all round and glowing with pure native lustre, delicately peppered, and and not destitute of vinegar and salt; or in i a condition of stew and and steaming sue culence and fragrance ; or fulfilling the hum- j ble duties of sauce to some great proud ^ entre?my palate hankers after the Onion 1 all the same. ? My case is not yet fully put. Its distressing * and I may say, appalling features are about ? to be BresentflH. Mo fr\anAm )> ? r ? w VMwa liftvu " off, one by one, until (heir number is ex a pressed by a figure in shape not unlike an I egg. To my horror, the other day I ?u t "cut" in ft manner as deadly ab possible by r ? creature of the opposite ?ex, my relations f with whom I bad alwaya supposed, up to r that very moment, to be of a deeply intiI mate and friendly nature. d Not very long ago, I waft almost peWiied at the sight of a fellow whe was in th? saino class with mo at College?a fellow who had known mo ever since I was a little boy?Judging from mc round a corner, and evanescing rapidly down a small street. And lie must have seen me coming! I got into a crowd a short time sinco before a shop window with a picture of Piccolomini in it, or something of that sort. Imagine, if you can, my amazement when I saw the people slowly but surely draw off from the place with expressions which, if I am not very much mistaken, I have hoard used in cases of disagreeable smell. I shall not forget, if 1 livo many thousands of years, the hoiriblo turn my mother's faco took on a very recent occasion when I bent my countenance to hers for the nurnoso of depositing there n labial token of filial aflbotion. I have just gone into business on my own account, but somehow my customers never come a second time, and I can't hope,, to get along in tlio retail line in that way,you know. I am never invited to any small parties, family or otherwise, as I used to he before I bccomo acquainted with the Onion. And Ro, while I am in a state of bodily health which has no precedent in my previous history, and which I cannot but attribute to the liberal use of a vegetable which the medical faculties have, with common consent, pronounced highly wholesome?yet notwithstanding this, and the inward assurance that I am not disqualified by physical deformity or memtal vacuity or social intercourse, I constantly realize that I am, for some reason, an excessively It dues 6C0111 hard, dosn't it 1 A Good Name ?A good name is above all praise. Ilavd you not found it so, young man, you whoso well-known virtues have placed you in a position which you occupy with feelings of commendable pride? And you whose fame has been the target of envious tongues, have not you seen a good name to be the only breastplate that is impervious to the poisoned shafts of calumny ? Gold and talent, what are theso without a character? A light to lender darkness visbl; a gilding, which, by contrast, makes lie substance more revolting! Cherish it then, all ye who possess it;guard it carefully?for, depend upon this, its purity once lainished, the most unwearying efforts will hardly restoro it to iu pristine lustre. Let it attend you through the journey of life, crowning your days with peace ami happiness. The rectitnde which won it will engrave upon your face a letter of recommendation to people of every nation and tongue. And when the treasure is no longer needful to you, it shall descend to your posterity, a legacy with which millions on millions would not bear to be compared. A Young woman of llie tribe of the Old town Indiana the other day in the cars, was risked by a rowdy if t>he would not like to ir.arry a wbite man, '"No," was her, reply "because good white men do not want to marry tne, and poorscamps like you I won't have 1" The rowdy left at the next station. A western editor complaining that he could not sleep one night, summed up the causes: "A crying babe sixteen months old, a dog howling under the gate, a cat in the alley, a colored servant at a ahantv over the way, a toothache, a pig trying to get in at the back door. ' My dearest Maria," wrote a quite affectionate husband to his wife, a strong-minded woman. She wrote him back, '"Dearest, let me correct either your grammar or your morals. You addressme, ''My dearest Maria."

An old Dutch proverb cays, stealing never makes a man rich. The simple old Dutchman who got up that proverb knew little oftho exploits of ofllcediolders in the United States, Tf you love others, they will love you.? If you speak kindly to them, tjiey will speak kindly to you. Love is repaid with love, and hatred with hatred. WouW you hear a sweet and pleasing echo, speak sweet and pleasantly yourself.
