POETRY. From Me LmUtvUlt Journal. «p yg Q TEARS OLD. BY tt B. PBBCIYAL. Flaying on the carpet near me Ib a little cherub girl; And in her presence, much I fear me, Sets my senses in a whirl; For a book is open lying Full of grave philosophying, And I own I'm vainly trying There my thoughts lo hold, llut in spite of my essaying, They will evermore be straying To that cherub near me playing, Only two years old. With her hair so long and flaxen. And her sunny eyes of blue. And her cheeks so plump and waxen, She is charming lo the view. Then her voice to all who hear it Breathes a sweet entrancing spirit; Oh ! to be forever near it Is a joy untold— For ’tis ever sweetly telling. To my heart with rapture swelling, Of affection inly dwelling. Only two years old. With a new delight I'm hearing All her tweet attempts at words, Bt their melody endearing Sweeter far than any birds ; An<J the musical mistaking. While her baby lips are making. From my heart a charm is making. Firmer in its hold. Than the charm so rich and glowing. From the Roman's lips o'erflowing; Then she gires a look so knowing, Only two years old ! Now hetripe and honeyed kisses (Honeyed, ripe for me alone. Thrill my soul with various blisses, Venus never yet has known. When her twining arms are rouncf mo All domestic joy hath crowned me. And a fervent spell hath bound me k Never to grow cold. O ! there's nut, this side of Aldenn, Aught with loveliness so laden As my little cherub maiden, Only two years old; MUSIC. Give me music—soft, sweet music, For its cadence is to me As dew.-drops to the fading flower, Or blossoms to the bee. It soothes my burning, fevered brain, It calms my troubled heart, And bids, in tones of melody, My anxious cares depart. Oive me musie, low, faint music, And as its echoes roll. In tones of thrilling tenderness Across my raptured soul. I’ll dream again as onec I dreamed Of happiness and love. When hope, in wreaths of budding jojs, My life's bright textures wove. Oive me music—sad, low musie, And, while its sweet tones swell And fall upon the ear like words Of low, heart rending farewell. My thoughts on fancy's wing shall to The dreamy past return. And muse among the relics there, “In memory's sacred urn.” GIvs me music—mourning music. And my soul in fervent prayer Shall rise upon the dying note That vibrates in the air. Til pray for those w hom well I love, That their lives rasy pass away Aa calmly and as gently as The tone* of that sweet lay. Give me music—joyous music— Let me feast upon the sound, •Till my spirit burst* the chain By which it now is bound, And soars on that triumphant strain Up to its native sties, To join with angels in the song. Whose echo never dies. WINTER. a r. willis. Winter has come again. The sweet soutwest Is a forgotten wind, and the strong earth Has laid aside its mantle to be bound By the frost fetter. There is not a sound Save the skaters heel, and the. is laid An icy finger on the lip of streams. And the clear icicle hangs cold and still. And the snowfall is noiseless as thought. Spring has a rushing sound, and Summer send; Many •weet voices with its odors out, And Autumn rustleth its decaying robe Tfith a complaining whisper. Winter’s dumb God made his ministry a silent one. And he has given him a foot of steel. And an unlovely aspect, and a breath Sharp to the senses—and we know that He Tempereth well, and had a meaning hid Under the shadow of his hand. Lookup! And it shall be interpreted. Your home Hath a temptation now. There is no voice Of waters with beguiling for your ear, And the cool forest and the meadows green While not your feet away ; and m the dells There are no sunny places to lie down. You must go in, and by your cheerful firo ait for the offices of love, and hear Accents of human tenderness, and feast Tour eye upon the beauty of the young. It is a aeaton for the quiet thought. And the atill reckoning with thyself. The yeai “Gives back the spirits of its dead," and Timi Whispers the history of it* vanished hours ; And the heart calleth his affections up, Counteth his wasted ingots. I,ife stands still And settles like a fountain, and the eye Sees clearly through its depths, and noteth all That stirred its troubled waters. It is well That winter with the dying year should come. Trim, nr Jury.—A woman was lately tried in England, for stealing some snoar The came was clear, and the jury convic ted her, with a strong recommendation tc the mercy of the court. “Upon what ground do you re comment her to mercy ?” asked the judge. “Because, sir,” answered the foreman “we didn’t think she done it.” A great many people like an “ inde pendent press,” which always chimes ex actly with their own opinions, but a truly honest press must differ from somebody. Pan’l try too hard to be happy. Many ran about after felicity, like an absent minded man hunting for his hat while it it in his hand or on his Jfead. The tonnage of the port of Liverpool hat increased from 1,223,318 tons, in 1836,1(^3,309,746, in 1S49. T11E PRINTER. “ The printer is one of a class of public men that probably exercises greater iufluance lor gooj or evil, than any other, not even ex cepting the clergy, or those of the legal pro fessson. The press' is the great engine of civ ilization, and the printer is not only rts engi neer, but he is thoilifc and soul, and the mind that gives it intelligence and influence.” [IVra/ern Citizen. We have frequently licen templed to speak of the Julies, responsibilities, and qualifications of the printer; and with the above text we proceed to remark— 1. The printer has the power of doing more good than any other man. Through his hands, every .book, essay, communication and letter that is given to the public must pass.— lie, therefore, is first made acquainted with every new theory in philosophy, discovery in science, production of literature, and with eve ry new thought that is written, lie has thus the means of becoming a very intelligent man, and bis business stands between tbc audience and the public, be is not only the medium of communication, but his intelligence makes him the only founder of publications that are to en 1 lighten the people; and very often docs he be come the aHe author and editor. It is esti mated that there are 2000 serial publications in j the Tinted States; at least the proprietorship of 1800 of these is in the hands of professional j printers. All our country papers are owned and mainly edited by printers, and at least | two-thirds of all city publications are owned 1 and conducted in the same way. Thus we | see that the printer not only sets the type, but ■ actually writes or selects most of the matter that amuses and instructs our vast population! How great, then, is the power he wields! 2. But not only is he powerful in this, but the very manner in which he shall execute hi^ art—the mechanics of printing are powerfully influential Ibr good when accompanied by that accuracy which intelligence can impart to them. There is a captivating spirit in beauty, and nowhere can beauty be more charmingly impressed than in the typographical art. A ' book sent out by a miserable workman, lack | ing all the excellencies of art, is repulsive in | all its pages, and the reader opens it with a disrelish of its contents. But on the other | band, a book of clear, plain letter, and of true I artistic work, possessesan attractive appearance 1 on every page, and multitudes who are not in clined to read are led to admire its beauties and then to overcome, that intellectual dullness which lias kept them in ignorance. Thus we I sec that every thing connected with the print j ing art can be made powerfully instrumental j for public improvement. *> iiai men uiusi ue uone to elevate ami uig nify llie Art of Printing, ami enable printers to wield the power they possess! On this branch of our inquiry we make the follow ing suggestions:—1 I. The printer must be well paid. In this Golden idolatry, when every man must either ‘dig’ for himself or speculate out of others, there must be a good compensation to secure the best talent. This talent is required in printing to make it tell the most powerfully upon the public good. 3. The business of the printer is confining and injurious to health. We wish we had the bill of mortality among printers, that others might see how fatal this business is when sed ulously pursued. They must, therefore, be so paid that they need not sacrifice themselves, and to this end we applaud their attempts to raise their wages. 3. The public should be generous to the printer, because the host interests of the people are in his hands. Those who patronize him should pay him promptly and with a free good will. They should no more expect to get the productions of his art, without prompt and lib eral payment than to get the sustenance of their physical life without a just equivalent.— But many underrate the printer's products; they look upon them as things that can he dis pensed with, and are often more inclined to lioard the dimes filr the gratification of the mi ser's spirit, than to purchase that which will give them some character in the world, and iu- j crease their happiness. .Such persons know that they have bodies like all other animals, butJhey do not often think they have minds , which can make them great—and perhaps the truth is they have not, for that is a small spir- , it that has not as much regard lor the mind as for the body. 4. Printers themselves should attempt to elevate their profession. By this we mean, that they should cultivate that moral purity which scorns the manners of the loafer, and , drive from the craft all those who may be ' found degrading it by immoral publications. | Any printer who sets a tvpe conveying an unholy thought, and calculated to degrade the ' reader, should be marked by the profession and banished from the craft. They should also bring their intluencc to bear upon all the publishing houses so as to forbid the employ • ment of such as are not qualified to do honor , to the Art. To do this they trust combine all the really meritorious, and swear that no em ployer who degrades the art, by immoral pub , lications or by employing incompetent bands, shall have their services on any terms. Let 1 the wages be raised so that the intelligent and ; skillful printers car. ailbrd to remain in the . profession, and these can bring such an influ ence to bear as will soon make the art what it 1 should be, the omnipotent power of the world. Intelligence, virtue, and every improvement would thus be rapidly advanced.—Nonpareil I and Herald, (Cincinnati.) Church Gambling;. One of the religious papers tells a story in relation to church gambling, which contains a lesson worthy of repeatng. A member of a church went to his pastor and entreated his personal intercession with a favorite son, who had become ru ! inously addicted to gambling. The pas tor consented, and seeking the young man, found him in his chamber. He commenced bis lecture, but before lie had | concluded, the young man laid his hand | upon his arm, and drew his attention to | a pile of splendid volumes that stood upon 1 the dressing table. “ Well,” said the pastor inquiringly. “ Well,” replied the young man, "those volumes were won by me at a fair in your chinch ; they were my first venture, ami but for that lottery, under the patronage of a Christian church, I should never have become a gambler. * T he pastor had no answer. A Young Japhct. “ My son, can you take a trunk for me up to the hotel ? ’ said a passenger, step ping from a boat on to tbe levee, to a rag ged looking youngster, who sat balancing himself on the tail ofa dray. ' ^ our s u!” cried the boy, eying him (mm head to foot, “well, I II be dad drab bed if I amt In luck. Here I’ve been try in’ to find out my daddy for three years, and all ofa sudden up comes the old boss himself, and knows me right off. How are you ?” stretching out a’ muddy-look ing paw. The traveler was nonplussed. Between ! a smile and a frown he innuir°d ; “ What is your name. *ir?’ f “;Mv, “ ? So you don't know ? ell, n s nothin’ for people in these parts | to have so many children that they don’t know their names. My name’s Bill, but i f,;"'s c,i'11 "le William for short. W hat the other part is I reckon you know.. If you don t you mils’ ax the ole ’omao.” .And shouldering the trunk, he marched ,lfr towards the hotel, mumblina ,0 him self. “Well, this is a go. The”ole gem man’s come home at last. Good clothes big trunk, must have the tin. Well I’m in luck.” The celebrated Locke, when in France in 1675, mentions in his journal, “ para sols as a pretty cover for women riding in in the sun, made of atraw, something like the tin covers for dishes.
