THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.
By liie flow of die inland river,
Whence die fleets of iron have fled,
Where die blades of the grave-grass quiver,
Asleep are the ranks of the dead;
Under the sod nnd the dew,
Waiting the judgment day—
Under the one, die Rltic;
Under tiic other, the Gjay.
These in the rollings of glory,
Those in the gloom of defeat.
All with die battle-blood gory,
In the dusk of eternity meet;
Under tiic sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day,
Under the laurel, the Blue;
Under the willow, die Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours,
The desolate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for liie friend and the foe;
Under the sod nnd the dew,
Waiting the judgment day ,
Under the roses, the Blue;
Under the lilies, liie Gray.
So, with an equal splendor
The morning sun-rays fall,
With a touch impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting die judgment day;
Broldering with gold, the Blue ;
Mellowing with gold, tiic Gray.
So, when liie summer callclh
On forest and field of grain,
With nn equal murmur tnllelh
The cooling drip of rain ;
Under tlie sod and die dew,
Waiting tlie judgment day ;
Wet with the rain, the Blue;
Wet with tlie rain, the Gray.
Sadly, but not with upbraiding.
The generous deed was done ;
In tiic storm of the years that are fading,
No braver battle was won ;
Under the soil and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the blossoms, die Blue;
Under the garlands, tlie Gray.
THE SONG OF THE PRINTER
Pick and click
Goes the type in the stick,
As tiic printer stands at his case;
His eyes glance quick, and ids fingers pick
the type at a rapid pace;
And one by one as the letters go,
Words arc piled up steady and slow
Steady and slow,
But still they grow,
And words of tire they soon will glow ;
Wonderful words, that without a sound
Traverse the earth to its utmost hound;
Words that shall make
Tlie Grant quake,
And the fetters <4 the oppressed shall break
Words that can crumble an annj’s mite,
Or treble its strength in a righteous tight;
Yet the tv pc they look hut leaden and dumb,
As be puts them in place with linger and
thumb,
But die printer smiles,
And Ids work beguiles
By chanting a song as the letters lie piles,
With pick and click,
Like the world’s chronometer, tick! tick!
tick!
O, where is the man with such simple tools
Can govern the world as l?
Willi n printing press, an iron stick,
And a little leaden die,
With paper of white, and ink of black,
1 support the Ritfit, and the Wrong attack.
Haj, where U he, or who may he lie,
That can rival the printer’s power?
To no monnrehs dial live tlie wall doth lie
give,—
Their sway lasts only nn hour;
While the printer still grows, and God only
knows
When his might shall cease to tower!
tJT Don Piatt, writing to the Cincinnati
Conimmcrcia), says:
The late Republican party is tlie deadest
tiling above ground, and if die surviving
friends wish to retain for it any feelings or
respect, they will hasten its funeral. Upon
its melancholy “tomb let us inscribe this
epitaph :
DIED,
After n brief but brilliant career,
the late Republican Party.
BORN,
Os patriotic impulses, it built huge na
vies, organized vast armies, and
through long campaigns
with bloody battles,
Saved tlie Nation from die jaws of Hell.
Its immediate cause of dissolution,
was Tricliinia.
Certain vermin, known as
Thieves, Plunderers and Protectionists,
ate into its vitals,
Causing a dreadful nausea, a bad smell,
xand a sudden death.
The Census.—The movements of the
census marshals have stirred up the follow
ing ballad:
“ Got any children ?” the marshal said,
To the lady from over the Rhine;
The lady shook her Saxon curls,
And civilly answered, “ Xtiml"
“ Husband, of course ?” the marshal said,
To the lafly from over the Rhine :
The lady shook her Saxon curls.
And civilly answered, “ AWa /”
AN AI>V«:\TUIUi.
While in the harbor of Valparaiso
on board the sloop of war Virago, one
of our midshipmen touched me on tlie
shoulder, ami said that Lieutenant
Hurdolph wanted to see me.
“ I have heard that you are some
thing of a naturalist, Starbuck,” said
that officer, smiling.
“No, sir,” I replied, “nonaturalist,
but I take an interest in ”
“Oh, well, never mind,” quoth the
Lieutenant; “ have you seen our di
ving bell?”
“ Yes.”
The lieutenant then said lie wanted
me to go down tinder the sea with our
old boat-swain, Randolph, formely a
pearl diver, to look for a curious lish,
which on the day previous had been
pierced and killed with a pike.
Inform, the fish resembled a ser
pent; about thirty indies in length;
and had upon both sides of the neck
a pair of singular appendages, some
thing like wings. Its most striking
peculiarity, however, was one eye, of
greenish color, situated in the top of
Ids head. On being struck by the
pike, the creature had rolled over, ap
parently dying, and then had gone
out of sight.
“ I think,” continued the lieutenant,
“ that such a curiosity is worth secur
ing, and I have picked you out to go
with Randolph, believing you arc
interested in natural history."
I bowed acquiescence, and went
away to make preparations.
The diving-bell was soon on deck,
ready to be hoisted and swung over
the side. The instrument was a little
damaged, but neither Randolph nor I.
anticipated danger.
We were presently in our places,
singing out, “ All right!” when the
bell began slowly to descend.
Down, down; lower and lower.—
We glanced around is on sdl sides,
but saw nothing of the strange fish.
Curious looking specimens of the
finny tribe, however, greeted us in
many directions. We could see the
sword fish dart past, with its long
protruding bone weapon ; tlie globe
fish, the situ fish, the moon-fish, tlie
hallooii-fish and the spiteful looking
shark, swept through the green waters,
almost brushing our bell with their
tails and fins.
The air was becoming somewhat
impure, so we opened the stop-cock,
and let it out, feeling the next mo
ment after a fresh supply sent down
to us through the India-rubber pipe
or hose secured to tlie top of the bell.
Randolph was about touching the
signal cord to intimate our desire to be
lowered still further, when we felt a
sudden jerk, felt the hell going down
rapidly, and, to our horror, realized
that the rope by which the instrument
was suspended had parted Irom the
hook to which it was attached !
Away %eal the pipe at the same mo
ment, and we only saved ourselves
from instant destruction by stopping
up the aperture with a thick handker
chief. Otherwise, the water beneath
must have tilled the hell in a very short
time.
Wc heard the water roaring and
gurgling around us as we descended;
our descent became each instant slow
er, until the confined air in the bell
kept us suspended about two feet
above the bottom of the sea.
The air in our floating prison be
came almost unbearable, not only
from its being so densely compressed,
but also from long confinement.
Terror stricken, wc glanced at each
other. The eyes of Randolph protru
ding from his head, looked bloodshot
and tinged with a very strange given
color, while his skin seemed to shrink
like shrivelled parchment. The most
startling change in his appearance
1 was the sudden apparently supernatu
ral look of his vi»age. A man ol fifty,
lie seemed at least thirty years older.
Presently his teeth begun to rattle
in his head, his form was bent almost
double. Rethrew bis arms around
him in agony, as if he were clutching
at something.
llow horribly useless this panto
mime seemed to me! lie wanted
fresh air—to clutch at air! What a
mockery!
“ Starbuck,” ho presently gasped.
“ Goil have mercy ou us! What shall
wc do ? ”
What could we do? I could only
stare at him, stupid with despair.
The air in the bell became more
and more stilling. The boatswain
flew to in} - side, and squeezed me in
bis extreme agony.
I endeavored to speak, but only a
hoarse rattle in my throat obeyed my
will. My brain began to whirl. 1
gasped hard for breath. A terrible
oppression was on my lungs. Jhe
boatswain had now released me. I
staggered against the side of our pris
on ; my senses seemed deserting me.
Gradually, to ray confused sight,
a dark, red, cloudy mist, seemed to
float up all around the beil. My bead
now felt as if it would burst. Terri
bly oppressed, I fell upon my knees,
and would have fallen into the sea,
but for the boatswain, who now held
me.
Then all began to grow dark. With
a superhuman effort I raised myself
and looked around me, feeling like
one groping in the dark. Bewildered
and full of the most agonizing pains,
1 became aware that something was
swaying up and down in that red
mist mingling with the water. I made
another effort—a great effort—to com
prcjiond wlmt it was (this graying
thing,) and at last I did so; Muuder
stood that it was a hook attached to
the end of a rope, lowered to us from
the Viago, so far above.
“ Starbuck! ” gasped the boatswain,
“ I'll dash open the lens ” —this was a
glass in the top of the bell; “ then
you stand by and hook it on the in
side.”
1 just managed to hear the words;
and they strengthened mu with a wild
hope, though 1 was still so bewildered
that I could scarcely now see the
swaying hook. The boatswain's arm
was before my eyes. With one blow
of his huge fist, dealt with the remains
of his great strength, he shivered the
lens.
There was a roaring sound ; it was
the upward rush of the water in the
bell as the air escaped.
There was no time to be lost. I thrust
my arm throng* the aperture and
drew in the hook, quickly attaching
it to the top of the inside of the in
strument.
The next moment the water came
bubbling over the heads of the boat
swain and myself, and that was the
last I remembered of what transpired
in the bell.
When 1 recovered my senses, I
found myself in the steerage, with the
ship’s doctor bending over me.
“A narow escape!’’ were his first
words.
“ Where is Randolph ?” 1 exclaimed.
“Here,”replied a feeble voice, and
rising I beheld the boatswain in a
bunk under me.
“ He had a narrower escape than
you had,”said tlicdoctor. “The thumb
of his right hand was bitten off by a
shark, which made a spring for it just
as wc pulled you into the cutter, after
the diving-bell was hauled to the sur
face V* '

'I lie i.uj Preacher,

My dear Beloved: You may won
der what 1 am going to make out of
this trite, hackneyed and threadbare
quotation ; a quotation of which every
reader of newspapers is heartily tired,
and the delinquent nauseated and
sick. “What folly,” says the latter
personage, “ to be stuffing his columns
with endless inucndocs, insinuations
and duns, ns if a person had lime and
patience to read all the stuff l.e choos
es to print. “ Pay the printer.”—
Who don’t know that. But lie need
not be in such a hurry. Let mo see:
Two, three, four; yes, that’s all; only
four years next July coming; not
due yet; and here’s one continued,
incessant ding dong—“ Pay the prin
ter.” “I’ll quit pntronizinej him if
lie does not rid his columns of the
offensive nuisance. I reckon there’s
other*things to pay for besides the
newspaper. There’s the store bill
that has not been paid these two
years? and Mr. says he’ll sue if
1 don’t pay soon. And then Jenkins
must have part of the money, at least,
for that corn 1 bought from him when
I was laid up from t lie beating I got
in the scrimmage at grocery,
and couldn’t make a crop. Yes, and
speaking of groceries, there’s that bill
to pay; it bus been running now
three months, and that’s as long as
trusts: bv jingo, I must pay
that at mice, or I shall be without a
dram shortly. Thor’s a heap of things
to pay for, ami Ihe printer mu*/ wait.
If lie can’t afford it, let him sell out
to those that (an.” These are the
sage reflections of many a patron—
as they complacently call themselves
—of the newspaper.
Now, my brethren, this is a great
evil under the sun, particularly to the
printer. He lias invested thousands
of dollars in his establishment; he
has purchased press and types, ink
and paper, to prosecute the business;
he has employed workmen, and must
pay them promptly, as their work
progresses, for it is by that moans
they gain their daily bread, and they
cannot wait for their pay; he has de
voted his time, his talents and his
daily labor, to furnish an interesting
weekly, tri weekly or daily sheet of
the most important transactions of
this busy world of ours, sometimes
making faint glimpses into those l>e
yond, and prying into affairs of the
moon and stars and world of spirits ;
is it a slight matter that such a man
should be cribbed, cramped aud crip
pled for want of the few dollars you
owe him, which, with a little exertion,
you could pay, and which you ought
to pay ? My brethren, think of these
tilings. You do yourselves a wrong,
you do your party n wrong, you do
your country a wrong, when you do
not pay the printer.
Recollect, dear brethren, that the
stability of your liberal institutions,
public and private, civil and religious,
depend upon enlightened public opin
ion, and how is this vast fund of in
formation to l>c diffused, if you crip
ple your press ? Will yon spread it
by “ word of mouth,” as the expn s
sion is, and suffer the world to sink
i iio all manner of ignorance, super
stition, fanaticism and folly, and
finally bo told, ns the apostle of the
Gentiles was, years after the descent
of the third person in the Holy Trini
ty, that they did not so much as know
t/rot there was n Holy Ghos ? That
would not have been so, my dear
brethren, had an enlightened press
been in operation. Beware, then,
brethren, and pay the printer. The
ascent to the Temple of Knowledge is
steep and rugged ; to climb it is labo
rious and toilsome, and to have a
wise and prudent Mentor by the way,
to guide your steps aright, is worth
all tiic printer demands, and much
more than he gets. Pay him, then,
promptly, cheerfully, never grudg
ingly No man earns his money lmr h r
titan the printer, or is more deserving
of it.
But, my dear beloved, there is an
other still close view of this subject,
by a medium through which it is but
seldom seen, but not the less worthy
of your most serious attention on that
account. In this view of the case, I
demand no money’s worth, and still
ejaculate in your ears, “Pay the prin
ter.”’ May the words sink deep in
your hearts.
Arc you a salesman or a politician,
a poet or a philosopher, a lawyer, a
doctor, or a demagogue? Do you
write for the paper; or rather do you
try to write for it ? Who usually
licks your ill-begotten, shapeless cub
into form and comeliness ? Is it not
the printer—the prin/enemphatically ?
Not the editor or proprietor, but that
man there laboring at the case of type,
composing stick in hand, working
'with band and head, physically and
mentally, both at the same time, over
yottr manuscript. Did 3 011 ever think,
Mr. Correspondent, how much you
are indebted to that laborious indi
vidual for the line figure you cut be
fore the public? How lie has ar
ranged your thoughts, corrected your
errors, pruned your redundancies and
furnished your deficiencies—how he
lias supplied your capitals, pointed
your matter, and rounded your pe
riods ! Yes sir, that liatd-working
man there lias done it all, nnd you
have never thanked him for it; lie lias
never been in all j’Ottr thoughts; and
yet perhaps you are as much indebted
to him for your genteel appearance be
fore the public, as the dandy is to bis
tailor for bis fashionable appearance
iii the ball-room. There is not one
out of five, of even liberally educated
men, who can write with sufficient ac
curacy, to copy from them for the
press, without more or less correction
by the pri liter; nnd this is usually
done by the workman himself, as the
editor, if capable, lias neither time
nor inclination to do it.
The practical printer oflcns brings
a fund of accurate knowledge, on
almost all subjects, to the aid of his
mechanical skill, which, at first sight,
is surprising. But, upon investiga
tion, this will not appear strange; the
surprising thing is, that that sapient
old gentleman, Public Opinion, should
never have found it out. lion a
boy goes a printing office to learn
the business, ho enters anew atmos
phere, as it were.
lie is surrounded, not with a huge
library of books, all treating of one
science, and all methodically arranged,
forcing his mind into one great chan
nel of thought, cvcr.v idea tending
the same way, if not to the same point,
ns In the case of the student of law
or of medicine—but tlie whole arcana
of thought and science is spread open
to his mind at once. Nor docs lie
dwell to fatigue or satiety upon any
one subject; nor is lie always racking
his brain with the thoughts of older
and abler men; but all ieoucli n pleas
ant medley—so diversified—first a
grand and beautiful idea from the
vast profundity of thought—then a
witticism from its surface; thus flit
ting like the bee from flower to flower,
and tasting from the sweets of all, the
bov would be stupidity personified if
lie did not drink keep at this well of
knowledge. Nor docs he hastily skip
over the surface of things only. The
mechanical operation of printing for
bids it. The operation is slow
Every letter to spell, every word must
he carried separately by the hand to
its proper place. This compels the
mind to pause and dwell on the
thoughts licforo it. The printer can
not get. away from it if lie would—
He is forced, as it were, to seize it
and make it his own.
Tims you see, my dear brethren,
how the practical printer is made,
and what he is made of, and what a
vast fund of information lie brings to
his ordinary business, and how many
others, who loom much larger than he
docs, arc indebted to him for their
fine clothes, nt least, if not their ele
gant deportment. J»y brethren, “give
unto Ca>sar the things that arc C’te
sar’s’’—“ Pay the Printer.”

A Curious Legend.
When Adam was advanced in years
ami at the point or death, he sent his
son to the angel Michael, who kept
the gate of Paradise, to pray for the
oil of mercy, so that he could be healed.
The angel nnswered that it could not
be until fifty-five hundred .years,, but
he gave Seth a branch of the tree of
which Adam had eaten, bidding him
to plant it on Mount Lebanon, anti
that when it bore fruit his father
should be healed. Seth planted the
branch on his fat ier’s grave j it took
root aud grew, and from it was made
Aaron’s rod, and Moses’ staff, with
which he struck the rock and sweet
ened the waters of Mnrnli. It also
formed the pole on which the brazen
serpent was lifted ttp and the ark of
testimony. At last it came into the
hands of Solomon, who used it in the
building of Ids palace, but it continu
ally resisted the ciforts of the builders
to adjust it. Now it was too long,
then again too short. The builders
being angry, then threw it into a marsh
so that it might serve as a bridge.
The Qncen of Sheba would not walk
upon it, but adored it, and told Sol
omon that upon it should be suspended
the man through whose death, the
kingdom should be destroyed. Solo
mon then had it buried deep into the
ground, where afterward the pool of
Bothcsda was dug, and from the virt
ues of this tree, healing properties
were imparted to the waters. After
it had been buried three hundred years,
it rose to the surface of the water, and
the Jews took it and made of it the
cross of our Saviour [Lippiucott’s

A Remarkable Dog — A corres
pondent of the Griffin Star, at Erin,
writes as follows about a rather re
markable dog belonging to a Mrs.
11., near that place:
Some time after the family had re
tired to lied, the dog began to bark
and howl, and a general capering all
over the yard; would push the door
and endeavor to turn the bolt;
scratch the wall, and seemed exceed
ingly anxious to get in to one of the
inmates. Dr. suspecting some
thing wrong, opened the door and
found the (login great agony, jumping
and skipping about ns though some
thing dreadful was the matter.. The
dog would Btart off’ and run to invite
