The Printer’s Consolation. Tell me, ye gentle winds, That round my pathway play, Is there a place on earth Where printers get their pay? The whispering breeze went by With accent filled with woe, A voice borne on the sorrowing air, In sadness answered “ No.” Tell me, ye flowing streams, That smoothly glide along, Is there one cherished place, Where printers meet not wrong ? The gentle brook replied— In murmurs soft and low— And winding on its verdant way, It meekly answered “ No.” Tell ine, ye mtli-ky clouds, Now r rising in the west, Is there upon the globe One spot by printers blest ? The flashing clouds outspoke With an indignant glow— A voice that filled the earth with awe, In thunder answered “No.”* Tell me, hard-hearted man, Withholding day by day, Is there no honor in thy breast, The printer’s bill to pay ? Unanswering turns he round— How plain his actions show; An uttered, oath-capt sound is heard, His actions answer “ No.” Tell me, thou gentle nympli. Who blcssest life’s hours through, Is there one sacred shrine Where printers get their due ? A mantling blush her check diffused, Did tcn-l'old grace impart.— A soft, responsive sigh replied, “ ’TlS FOL’SI> IS WOMAN’S HEART.” Tell me, angelic hosts, Ye messengers of love, Shall suffering printers here below Have no redress above ? The angel bands replied— “ To us is knowledge given— Dki.inqlents on the printer’s kooks Can never enter Heaven !” Origin of the War in Europe—Aus trian Buie in Italy. Like most other great international con flicts, the approaching collision between France and Austria lias a double origin.— It has been brought about in the first place by the operation of certain recognised causes, of which diplomacy can take cog nizance, and which will constitute the os tensible ground of war; ami in the second place, by the logic of a historical necessi ty’, not the less real that no ministry will allude to it, and no protocols discuss its bearings. In the near imminence of the final crash, it is desirable that the people of this country should clearly understand both aspects of the case; for, although nothing can be more unlikely than that the United States, extended as our com merce is, should in any way become in volved in the progress of hostilities, it is extremely important tliat the sympnthy and the moral support of so great and free a nation should be givcu to the side of na tionality’ and independence in a conflict from which it may be well permitted us to hope for vast and permanent good to the liberty of mankind. It has been com mon with a large class of English journal ists to speak of the disturbances of the last few months as “ provoked” by the “rest less ambition” of Napoleon III. . Let us sec whether some more satisfactory cause cannot be found for convulsions which have so deeply agitated the world.

To the Pope was confided an area equal to that of Maryland and Massachusetts, with three millions of people, in the centre of Italy, and stretching from sea to sea. An Austrian Prince, of the young branch of the House of llapsburg, held Tuscany, with two millions of people; and a fertile region on the West, fully as large as Mas sachusetts, looked in upon its North-east ern borders by the smaller States of Par ma and Modena, also ruled by princes of Austrian extraction and alliance, and with a combined population of about a million souls. Northern Italy was finally divided by the river Ticini and the Lago Maggiore between the house of Savoy and llapsburg, the former as Kings of Sardinia, possess ing a dominion of the West about as large as South Carolina, with a population twice as large as that of New York; the latter as Kings of Lombardo-Venctia, holding a region half as large as Maine, with gpop- ulation of about five millions. In these ar rangements it pleased the Congress of Vienna to sec a sure guarantee of the im portance of Italy to menace the peace of the world. But the House of llapsburg had not for gotten its ancient motto, and was deter mined not only to retain Lombardy, which had descended to it from the inheritance of Charles V., and Venice, which had fal len into its hands iu the chances of the last Napoleonic war, but also to use North ern Italy as the lever for making all the peninsular its own. It lost no time in be ginning operations. It has never ceased to prosecute them. The most formidable engines of Austrian influence have been the systematic attempts of the Italian sov ereigns to crush their people into the re cognition of “ Divine Right,” and to kill the hydras of “ liberty and law” through out their States. The ink was hardly dry on the conventions of Paris, when in July 12,1815, Austria signed a “secret treaty’’ with Naples, binding the King of Naples to “rule his dominions in accordance with the views of the Austrian government.”— Five years later, in 1820, Naples forced her King to grant her a Constitution.— Austria then appealed to this secret trea ty, and by virtue of it marched an army into “independent” Naples, suppressed the Constitution, and established their Aus trian tutelage which was endured, with the brief interval of a few months in 1848, up to this time. In 1821, Sardinia deman ded a Constitution. Into Sardinia, like wise, Austria marched without a secret treaty, and restored despotism there also. An outbreak at Bologna brought Austria into the Papal States, one or another point of which she has never since ceased to oc cupy. The Grand Duke of Toscany is strictly Austrian by family, and has there fore been left comparatively uncoiupihnen- ted by the armed presence of his kinsmen. With Parma and Modena, in 1847, Austria concluded treaties, allowing her to take armed possession of the States whenever “ military, prudence” should require it— Within the last forty years, therefore, Aus tria, from ruling five millions of Italians in one comer of the Peninsular, has ad vanced to a practical control over the whole Peninsular, with the single excep tion of Sardinia, in which State liberty has established itself; and has field its own with incomparable spirit and good sense, On formal grounds, then, Napoleon IIL The Flight of the Duke of Tuscany- The advices bv the Adelaide announced it, and was prepwed for any coming polit ical event.

Washington, May 9.—This is the day for an important election in the State of Mas- notwitlistanding his refined tastes and be-; sac ims c tts, under a law subiniting to tlie that the Tuscan army had demanded of the ne volcncc, he fled from Tuscany at the | peop , e thc question of an amcI1( j men t to Duke to join France and Sardinia, and de clare war against Austria, and that lie de clined, but immediately took flight. The first government, therefore, overthrown by the present European convulsion, is singu larly enough, one of tlie most liberal. The New York Post has thc following in rela tion to the fugitive Duke: Leopold II., Grand Duke of Tuscany, Is the second son of the Grand U.uke .Ferdi nand IIL, and was born at Florence, on thc 3d of October, 1797. During Ills in fancy his family suffered political reverses, being driven out of their dominions by the French. Retiring to Germany, his father caused thc young Leopold to be educated, first at Salzburg and afterwards at Warz- burg. In 1814, on thc fall of Napoleon, Florence was restored to thc Grand Duke, and Leopold returned with the family to his native city. In 1817 lie married a Sax on princess, and in 1824, on the death of his father, succeeded to the ducil chair.— During the troubles of 1848 he was again expelled, but soon returned to his Capital, and on the 22d of June, 1850, a conven tion was signed by which ten thousand Austrian troops should occupy Tuscany and support the authority of the sovereign. Frequent vicissitudes proved to Leopold that direct tyranny would endanger his government, but as a scion of the house of llapsburg, and thc grandson of a Ger man Emperor, his feelings naturally in clined towards imperial rather than repub lican traditions. Indeed, whatever might have been his inclinations, thc influence of Austria was so decided that he dared not be too liberal. Yet he certainly has done a great deal for the moral and material improvement of Tuscany, than which no Italian country now exhibits greater evi dence of prosperity. It is chiefly to Leo pold II. that the Tuscan people owe their splendid roads, their substantial stone bridges, their new railways and many of their institutions of education. As a patron of the fine arts, thc Grand Duke of Tuscany also deserves mention. By his direction the invaluable art treas ures of Florence were freely thrown open to public inspection, including the galler ies of his own palace. In religion he lias exhibited considerable tolerance, as the Protestant communities of Pisa, Leghorn, and the capital city, will confess; although the prosecution, in his dominions, of the Medial, has prejudiced against him many Protestant countries. In person, the Grand Duke is rather prepossessing. He is now sixty-two years of age, but looks much older. His hair is of a light gray color, and he stoops slight ly while walking. His countenance betrays certain mart; of care and suffering, which are attributed by many of his people to domestic trials, a cherished relative being afflicted with insanity. In manners he is aflfeUe and pleasant, and was accustomed to tide out daily in the Cascine, some- after great experience, that the most cc«t- omical and best feed for their horses is a mixture composed or equal parts, hy mea sure, of corn meal and mill feed—bran or shorts, weighing about twenty pounds to- the bushel—mixed up wet with cut hay, and they accordingly, feed this altogether. Immense Size of the Pyramids.—A Unf- ted States naval chaplain, who has recent ly visited tlie grand pyramid of Cheops in Egypt, wading in the deep sand fourteen hundred feet before he had passed one of its sides, and between five and six thous and feet before he had made the circuit, says that, taking a hundred N. Y. church es of thc ordinary width, and arranging; them in a hollow square, twenty-five on a side, you would have scarcely the base ment of this pyramid ; take another hun dred and throw in their material into the hollow square, and it would not be full.— Pile on all the stone and brick of Phila delphia and Boston, and the structure would not be as high qnd solid as this greatest work of man. One layer of block was long since removed to Cairo fpr build- ing purposes, and enough remains to sup ply the demands of a city of a half a mill ion of people for a century, if they were permitted freely to use it.. Women Scarce in Oregon. —The papers say there is a great demand for women in Oregon. Isn’t there a great demand for women every where V There arc plenty of Ladies—dainty creatures with soft bands and soft heads, puffed with hpops fix thc lower story and nonsense- in, the upper- story—but genuine, sensible- women, ate in demand all over creation. They are scarcer than gold, and better to- tie to than the best of State stocks.—Quincy IlertdJ. New York Italians.—Thc startling war news from Europe causes the greatest ex citement among the European exiles in the city of New York, especially thc Italians, who beleive that the day of regenoraton is at last about to daw.i upon their unhappy country. Since the first herd lings of the approchingconflict, in Jamury last, num bers of Italians have been preparing to give up their business in New York and leave fortheir old home. Many have alrea dy gone, and many more will undoubtedly go to take a hand in settling the ancient grudge which their nation owes to Aus tria. We have received a specimen number of The New York Weekly, with the req uest that we give it a “notice”. Well we will: The Weekly is the trashiest thing of the kind we have yet seen.

Iu thi: flight Leopold leaves the most beautiful city of continental Europe, and the most luxurious home that any living monarch has occupied Pat’s Evasive Answer. Patrick O’Neil, before he became joined in the “holy bonds of hemlock” with Bridg et, was in thc service of Father. Conoloy. One day, the priest expected a call from a Protestant minister and he wished some excuse to get rid of him. So calling Pat rick, he proceeded to give some instruc tions. “ Patrick,”—said he, “ if that minister comes here to-day, I don’t wish to see him.” “Yis, ycr riverence.” “Make some excuse and send him away.” “What shall I tell him ?” “Tell him I am not at home.” “Would you have me tell a lie, yer riv erence ?” “No, Patrick, but get rid of him some way—give him an cyasive answer.” “An evasive answer is it? I will do it” “You understand me, Patrick V” “Av coorsc, ycr riverence.” Thc matter thus arranged, Father Con oloy retired to his library, and Patrick went about his duties. About dusk in the afternoon the priest came out of his room and found Patrick in unusually good spir its. “Well, Patrick, did the minister call to day V” “Yes, sir.” “And did you get rid of him Y” “I did, sir.” “Did he ask if I was in ? ’ “He did, sir.” “And what did you say to him - “I gave him an evasive answer.” “An evasive answer, Patrick V “Yes, ycr riverence.” “And what did you say to him ?” “He axed me was ye in, and 1 towled him was his grandmother a monkey!” ’^"Edward Everett says of the Bible; “ Apart from its direct claims upon our reverence as the depository of a divine re lation, we cannot but respect the Bible as the foundation of our civilization. Strike from the political, moral, and intellectual condition of modern society, all that has flowed directly and indirectly from this source, and you would reduce European and American Christendom to thc state of the barbarous and semi-civilized countries, whose character has been powerfully in fluenced by tlie Koran or other religious codes of the East. The highest historical probability can be adduced in support of the proposition, that if it were possible to the Constitution of the State, whereby ali ens will b? deprived of the right of voting until two years after they shall have been naturalized. The law makifig this ques tion was passed for the purpose of concil iating tlie know Nothings, and to restore their connection with the Republicans.— If the Republicans reject the amendment the Know Nothings will bolt, and if they sustain and carry it, the German and Irish vote will be turned against the Republi cans, not only in Massachusetts alone, but in Illinois, Wisconsin, New York, and oth er States. In cither event, thc decision of the qnestion will no doubt break up the Black Republican party in Massachusetts; but in tlie event of the adoption of the amendment, the whole party may be bro ken up, root and branch. A'Coxscientious Clergyman!—The Rev. Mr. Watson, Trumbul county, la., a North ern Methodist Preacher, was arrested by an officer while preaching a funeral ser mon, for passing counterfeit money.— There, were found in his cell inks, presses, paper, rolling machinery and the entire apparatus for countefeiting hank bills, be sides some two thousand dollars of coun terfeit bilLs, on different Banks. He said he was conscientious in counterfeiting mon ey—he used the money ‘to do good with.’ This rascal preached, wrote, and talked, agaifist Slavery, and contributed money to aid the cause of thc Abolitionists, and was conscientious in it all! Think of a counter feiter being conscientious in his opposi tion to Slavery! And this wolf is just as good a m in to-day, as nine-tenths of all the Abolition preachers at the North. Thc difference is, that he has been caught, and they are still rnnnig at large!—Knoxville Whig. A navy general court martial was in ses sion on board the sloop-of-war Falmouth, at Montevideo, on the 10th of March, for the trial of Capt. Ridgely, of the United States cliartercd steamer Atlanta and Lieut- Warrington, the latter for drunkenness. The charge against Capt Ridgely orig inated as follows: One of the Atlanta’s men had been guilty of some offence, in chastisement for which Capt.
