"pESPECTABlLITY in any pi-otession depends on the
-^*^virtue and intelligence of those who pursue it. On
none can this fact be urged with greater propriety than on
apprentices to the printing business ; for none have it more
in their power to exercise beneficial influence in society,
than printers. It is of great advantage to a printer to
have some knowledge of the arts and sciences, the Greek,
the Latin, the French, and the Spanish languages. All this
may not be in the power of many to acquire to any degree
of proficiency ; yet, a limited knowledge of them will be
found of great service. But what is essential, nay, indis-
pensable, to constitute a good printer, is a thorough know-
ledge of grammar. The study of it may at first appear dry
and tedious ; but a slight progress w^ill convince a youth,
that " on grammar is founded all excellence in writing and
speaking," and that a competent knowledge of it is necessary
to his hopes of distinction in society. A man who under-
stands and can speak his native language grammatically,
will never be treated with contempt in any company, nor
on any occasion ; without this knowledge, he cannot think
systematically, or reason logically, on any subject, however
familiar. " It is not only adapted," says a learned writer,
" to invigorate the powers of youth, but in more advanced
years to exercise the profoundest erudition, and the most
exquisite taste. It is, indeed, the only foundation that can
sustain any fabric reared by mental labour." Reading and
study is admitted by all to be useful. Not only useful, but,
if properly pursuedat an early period, will, througliont life,
be found among our most agreeable, chaste, and enduring
l^leasures. Printing, in Europe, and also in our own coun-
try, in former times, was considered a calling of the greatest
respectability. Can it with truth be said that it is now so
considered? Is it not almost ttic reverse? And to what
can be attributed this deterioration ? Surely, to the want
of early mental culture in those who pursue it, and of whom
the public, from the nature of their business, expect much,
but are too often disappointed. Has it not become almost
proverbial, that printers, from their limited acquirements,
are incompetent to be editors of our newspapers ? that none
but lawyers, doctors, or graduates at universities or colleges,
can fill such stations ? It should not be so. That printers,
with minds early and properly cultivated, make the best
editors, history adduces many instances in our own country.
A responsible printer is required in a newspaper establish-
ment, and his occupation is likewise adapted to editorial
pursuits. Printers should also be the booksellers of our
country ; and for this purpose they should have enlarged
views of general literature, the foundation of which can be
laid only in youth ; for when the cares and turmoils of bu-
siness occupy a man's attention, it is too late to begin ; the
time to lay up mental treasure for future use has passed
away. If a youth occupies a portion of his hours of relaxa-
tion from daily toil in the attainment of useful knowledge,
he will not be likely to acquire a relish for frivolous com- .
pany, and will shun, with the greatest self satisfaction, the
haunts of folly and of vice, Should the course recommended
be pursued by those who commence learning the printing
business, the opprobrium would soon be cast off, that at

THE GOLD-FIELDS OF NOVA SCOTLA consist of
some ten or twelve districts of quite limited area in
themselves, but lying scattered along almost the whole
southeastern coast of the Province. The whole of this
coast, from Cape Sable on the west to Cape Canso on
the east, a distance of about two hundred and fifty
miles, is bordered by a fringe of liard, slaty rocks,—
slate and sandstone in irregular alternations,— some-
times argillaceous, and occasionally granitic. These
rocks, originally deposited on the grandest scale of
Nature, are always, when stratified, found standing at
a high angle, — sometimes almost verticle, — and with a
course, in the main, very nearly due east and west.
They seldom rise to any great elevation,— the promon-
tory of Aspatogon, about five hundred feet high, being
the highest land on tlie Atlantic coast of the Province.
The general aspect of the shore is low, rocky, and
desolate, strewn often with huge boulders of granite
or quartzite, and where not bleak and rocky, it is cov-
ered with thick forests of spruce and wliite birch. The
picture is not enticing, but this is, nevertheless, the
true "arida nutrix" of the splendid masses before us.
The zone of metamorphic rocks which lines this inhos-
pitable coast varies in width from six or eight miles at
i,ts eastern extremity to forty or fifty at its widest
points, presenting in its northern boundary only a rude
parallelism with its southern margin, and comprising,
over about six thousand square miles of surface, the
general outline of what may, geologically speaking, be
called the Gold-Eegion of Nova Scotia. It will be
most interesting hereafter to mark the gradual changes
already beginning to take place in this rich, but limited
district. It is destined throughout, we may be sure,
to very thorough and systematic exploration. Eor,
although it is true that gold is not to be found in all
parts of it, still it is not unreasonable to search for the
precious metal throughout this whole region, wherever
the occurrence of true quartz veins— the almost sole
matrix of the gold— is shown by boulders on the sur-
face. Back from the coast-line, a large part of the
district named is now little better than an unexplored
wilderness, and there is room for new discoveries.

DISTRIBUTING, or conveying the different
sorts of letter to their respective appartments,
is commonly the first of a compositor's practical
exercises ; though it would be found more safe
and advantageous, were this custom reversed, and
composing made antecedent to distributing, which
depends upon a perfect knowledge of what is, or
ought to be, contained in each of the different
boxes in a pair of cases. But as the disposition
of sorts differ in almost every printing office, more
or less, it follows, that such irregularities must
have their effect accordingly ; of which we do not
want for instances. The first which offers itself to
our observation is, the loss which every composi-
tor sustains every time he changes his place of
work ; for, being unacquainted with the situation
of each sort, he is hindered, for some time, in his
quick and ready way of distributing, which might
easily be prevented, were those who establish new
houses to follow one uniform method ; indeed, to
those who are already established, the advantages
that would accrue by changing, when necessary
to accomplish this desirable end, would more than
compensate for the trouble. Other evils I'esult
from this want of uniformity, and particularly
affect the master. Some compositors, rather than
charge their memory with different situations of
particular sorts, transpose them into such boxes
as contained them at their last place of work ; con-
sequently, the situation of the letters, in that
roman case at least, is destroyed, and the trans-
posed sort not being replaced, the boxes become

EDUCATION does not mean merely reading
and writing, nor any degree, however consid-
erable, of mere intellectual instruction. It is, in
its largest sense, a process which extends from
the commencement to the termination of existence.
A child comes into the world, and at once his ed-
ucation begins. During the first period of infancy
the physical frame expands and strengthens ; but
its delicate structure is influenced for good or evil
by surrounding circumstances, cleanliness, light,
air, food, warmth. By and by the young being
within shows itself more. The senses become
quicker. The desires and affections assume a
more definite shape. Every object which gives a
sensation, every desire gratified or denied, every
act, word, or look of affection or of unkindness
has its effect, sometimes slight and imperceptible,
sometimes obvious and permanent, in building up
the human being; or rather in determining the
direction in which it will shoot up and unfold
itself. Through the different states of the infant,
the child, the boy, the youth, the man, the devel-
opement of his physical, intellectual, and moral
nature goes on, the various circumstances of his
condition incessantly acting upon him, the health-
fulness or unhealthfulness of the air he breathes ;
the kind, and the sufficiency of his food and cloth-
ing ; the degree in which his physical powers are
exerted ; the freedom with which his senses are
allowed or encouraged to exercise themselves up-
on external objects ; the extent to which his facul-
ties of remembering, comparing, reasoning, are
tasked ; the sounds and sights of home, the moral
example of parents ; the discipline of school ; the
nature and degree of his studies, rewards, and
punishments ; the personal qualities of his com-
panions, the opinions and the practices of the
society, juvenile and advanced, in which he moves ;
and the character of the public institutions under
which he lives. The successive operation of all
these circumstances upon a human being from
earliest childhood, constitutes his education ; an
education which does not terminate with the ar-
rival of manhood, but continues through life,
which is itself, upon concurrent testimony of reve-

JYOTES OF SUMMER TRAVEL.— Leaving the
-'- ' " City of the Straits" upon a lovely afternoon,
we steamed up the broad and majestic St. Law-
rence, the great artery to the heart of the American
Continent, which, receiving the waters of our in-
land lakes, flows "unvexed" for fifteen hundred
miles to the sea. The elegant steamer Europa,
comparing very favorably with some of our Hudson
River boats, contained its complement of passen-
gers, who crowded the upper deck to catch a lin-
gering look of the walled city, with its lofty spires
and frowning battlements. Anchored in the middle
of the stream lay a steamer containing an English
regiment which had just been relieved by one from
the continent, and was now returning to Old Eng-
land after some years' absence on service in the
Canadas. In order to prevent desertions, the reg-
iments are not permitted to remain in one place
for any serious length of time, but are changed
from point to point and finally sent back to the
mother country, their places being supplied by
fresh commands. An English writer, who has re-
cently returned home from a tour through the
provinces, says : " The men, seduced by high pay,
either in the States or as farm laborers in Canada,
are seized with an irresistable desire to quit the
service abruptly, ' without leave, ' and resort to
ingenious artifices to escape. Sometimes a whole
guard will march off bodily, non-commissioned
officers and all ; occasionally one of the number
will submit to be handcuffed, and will be marched
by his comrades through the post as a deserter,
or a man will put on a sergeant's jacket, or sew
chevrons on his coat sleeve, and march off his
party as if they were going out on picket or patrol
duty.'' Federal soldiers are to be seen all over
the Canadas visiting their friends on furlough ; but
no English privates are permitted to come to this
side of the border, lest they may never return.
Notwithstanding this, the frequent changing of
the commands, the posting of guards at prominent
points, and numerous other precautions, desertions
are continually taking place, and some regiments
have been more than doubly decimated from this
cause during their sojourn in the Canadas. But
to return to our voyage. Quebec soon disappeared
in the distance, and we moved swiftly along the
left shore of the river, fringed with beautiful land-
scapes. For a long distance above Quebec the
left bank of the St. Lawrence slopes down to the
water, and, interspersed with field and wood, pre-
sents a variety of scenery. The right shore, on
the contrary, is one continuous and abrupt bluff
from ten to forty feet in height, and lined with the
little French Canadian cottages. The setting sun
shimmering upon the water imparts to it the flam-
ing scarlet hue so frequently seen in paintings.
" I have often witnessed this gorgeous color on
canvass," remarked a lady standing close by us,
' ' but I have never before succeeded in finding an
original to copy from." A sunrise from Mount
Washington is only equaled by a sunset upon the
Lower St. Lawrence. The one is a counterpart of
the other, and it is difiieult to tell which produces
the most ravishing ocular effect upon the gazer.
We watched the declining orb throwing long, ex-
tended shadows upon the still waters, clothing the
foliage with a sombre hue, and playing hide and
seek behind a heavy bank of clouds, until the
evening shadows gathered around us. StroUing
over the steamer, we found our load of human
freight composed of a variety of material. Many
Americans were on board, who, as usual, con-
trasted very favorably in dress and manners with
the representatives of other nationalities. During
the war very few Americans made this tour, but
now, that peace has come, more than ever are to
be seen. The Canadians complain that they put
on a great many airs, and talk and act as if they
owned both hemispheres and all of salt water to
boot. A little incident at Montgomery Falls con-
vinced us that there was some foundation for these
complaints. When one of the natives, after the
manner of the Niagara Falls cormorants, endeav-
ored to exact an unjust fee, the spokesman of our
party, after considerable dally, tossed him a green-
back, with the remark : " Here, take your money ;
that's all you can have ; I shall get that back, for
we are coming over here in a few days and take
the whole of you fellows." Several of the Ameri-
cans were returning from a trip to the Saguenay
River, which empties into the St. Lawrence one
hundred and twenty miles below Quebec, and con-
stitutes the chief watering place of the Canadians.
They were in raptures over the wild picturesque
scenery which they had witnessed, and described
the Saguenay as being the most wild and romantic
region to be found on the continent. On the
lower deck of the steamer was a party of Cana-
dians emigrating to the States. Should the tide
of emigration continue as great as it has been
since the close of hostilities, the women in Canada
will be badly off for husbands. After indulging
in a game of dominoes, which is the favorite pas-
time of the Canadians, we retired to wake from
our slumbers at an early hour in the city of Mon-
Quousgue tandem, abutere,

T IBERTY witliout law is the dream of fools,
-L'impossil-ile of realization, and, if it were pos-
sible, could only result in anarcliy, confusion
and every species of evil. We know nothing
of such a condition, either from revelation, ob-
servation, or experience. The very relations
which necessarily exist between men as indi-
viduals, or as aggregated into communities,
states and nations, give rise to law by which
these are adjusted and maintained without
violation. So that he who would escape from
the dominion of law must needs find a place
outside of the universe, where he can neither
affect another by his presence and acts, nor be
aflected in his own person and feehngs by any
relation to a fellow-being. Tliis statement will
suffice to explain the necessity for human law,
without reference to the grand fact, distinctly
impressed upon all the works of creation, that
one law-giver has boimd all things that He has
made in due subjection and obedience to that
rule of action which He has ordained for the
government of His universe, and that there is
no escape from just responsibility if the pro-
visions of His law are infringed, either positive-
ly or negatively, by contravention or non-ful-
fillment. We are then the servants of law,
and regarded as moral beings, we are bound to
obey the moral law, being servants of right-
eousness if our obedience is complete, or ser-
vants of sin if we fall short of its requirements,
or openly transgress and defy its commands.
In this latter class, all men in a state of nature
are comprehended, because all have sinned, by
omission and commission, both failing to do
what is right, and actually and continually
doing what is wrong. They are therefore in a
state of condemnation, for the law pronounces
its j udgements upon every soul that doeth evil,
and awards its sentence of death for the oflence
of wliich the transgressor is guilty. The gos-
pel proposes to free us from tliis condemnation,
and reverse the sentence which has been judi-
cially declared. Not, however, by rendering
the law inoperative generally, and so releasing
all from the penalties wliich they have incurred
by its violation ; nor by extending mercy to
the individual, on account of past disobedience,
or promises of future respect for its provisions,
and amendment of life. The exactions of the
law must be met and fully satisfied, no part
can be altered or modified, all must be obeyed.
The judge is bound by its requirements, he
must provide for the infliction of the punish-
ment, and take care that its majesty be not
dishonored by an abatement of any just de-
mand. There is but one way to avoid the con-
sequences of transgression. The sinner must
consent to the law that it is good, and acknow-
ledge that the commandment, even while it
condemns him, is holy and just. Then, if he
can show that he has been made free from the
law, having beccmie bound to another master,
even to one who has satisfied the requirements
of the law itself and who has bestowed his
righteousness upon the guilty one who, other-
wise, must suffer ; there is an obligation upon
the judge not to condemn but to acquit, not to
declare guilty, but to justify, not to execu.te,
but to pardon the offender. He goes free from
the law of sin and death, not in absolute, un-
controlled liberty, but as a servant of right-
eousness. Henceforth, he is bound by a new
law which is no less stringent than that from
which he has been delivered. It equally de-
mands a perfect obedience and the subjection
of every power and faculty, and the man is
none the less a servant because he obeys a
new master. These are familiar truths to all
who have learned the principles of the gospel,
yet they need to be stated anew that they may
have their due weight and force in stimulating
the hearts of God's people to a new activity in
His service. There is, too often, a vague feel-
ing in reference to spiritual duties, as if the
fact that the christian is not under the law,
but under grace, was sufficient to discharge
him from all obligations, and leave him free to
render service, or deny his master, as his own
will might dictate obedience, or disobedience.
Hence arises in great measure that indifference
to the claims of the Gospel upon all that we
have and all that we are, which makes us so
unwilling to work for the cause of Christ and
His church, or to honor him with the sub-
stance which his bounty has bestowed upon us.
The Apostle looked at this matter in a very
different light, and understood the obligations
of those who professed Christ to be far too high
in their character to admit either of negligence,
or disobedience, of the law of righteousness.
Yet he recognized this tendency in the human
mind and therefore he earnestly besought his
brethren, to present their bodies as living
sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God, which
was but a reasonable service. He reminded

7 TINTS ON WRITING.— No one will deny
-•^tlie advantages of a good style of penman-
ship. As a qualification for business it is of the
first importance, and goes far in the mind of an
employer, towards making up for other deficien-
cies. Let a man in business circles step up to a
desk and write some document in a clear, free,
and bold hand, and he will at once create an
impression in his favor. When a young man
goes in pursuit of employment, the first thing
he is asked to do is to give a sample of his hand
writing. If he can give satisfaction in this, his
success is comparatively certain. Read the ad-
vertisements of business men for clerks, book-
keepers, (fee., and you will notice that they re-
quire the applicant to apply in his own hand
writing. We have before said that a good hand
writing goes far towards making up for other
deficiencies ; and we might add that when other
first class qualifications are possessed, their val-
ue is greatly enlianced by the possession of tliis.
The elegant and rapid writer will always com-
mand a much higher salary than the slow and
inelegant. It is therefore abundantly worth
striving for, as a business qualification. It is
also a valuable means of success in intellectual
and social life. If one writes rudely and with
difiiculty, he will very seldom put his thoughts
upon paper, and will thus fail of an important
means of mental culture. For the same reason
he will fail of penning those entertaining epistles
which are the delight of fi'iends and an import-
ant element in social life. The truth is, there
is scarce!}' any position in which a man may be
placed where a good hand writing will not be
of great value. It is always admired and gene-
rally appreciated. And yet most people are un-
willing to spend very much time in its cultiva-
tion, which appears to be an inconsistency. This
can only be accounted for on the ground of false
theories. It is quite generaUj' supposed that
if it can be learned at all it can be done in a
very short time. We are aware that this im-
pression has been made, to a great extent, by

HISTORY lias not preserved the name of the
inventor or manufacturer of tlie first printing-
press. It was, no doubt, a crude and un\vield_y
machine that was used in the infancy of tlie art ;
but the attention of machinists and experimental
printers, from the time of Faust to the present
day, have been eniiag'cd in the invention and im-
provement of printing presses. Age after age,
time and money have been lavished upon this
object. Some have been practically beneficial,
while most seem to have originated only for the
purpose of perplexing and discouraging the printer.
If it were correct to judge of presses from the
execution of presswork, the conclusion would Ijc
irresistable, that no real imjjrovement has been
made for at least two hundred years. But this
would be visiting on the press evils that may be
attributed either to the paper maker, the ink ma-
ker or the pressman. That too much importance
is generally attached to the construction and
power of the press, is but too well known to
master printers ; for both their pockets and their
patience bear testimony to the fact. "We regret
that we are under the necessity of remarking, tliat
a rage for new inventions seems to have taken
the place of practical experience, attention, and
close observation. "While we look upon a zeal
for improvement, when it is properly directed, as
praiseworthy, we hope, nevertheless, to be ex-
cused for endeavoring to direct the attention of
printers to other means of producing good work
than the construction of presses. So much de-
pends on the pressman, in wetting down, turning
and pressing his paper, in taking and properly
distributing the ink on his balls, or roller, in keep-
ing them in good order, and in examining the
sheets as they are pulled, that the press itself be-
comes, in fact, but a secondary consideration;
hence the probability that, at the period above
mentioned, when printers as a body, were un-
doubtedly possessed of more scientific knowledge,
and more ambitious to become masters of their
profession, greater inducements were held out to
journejmien than at the present time. A slovenly
pressman can never do good work. Let his press

ery, which prints its thought in plain Roman
characters, at a, rate of speed defying the
emulation ofthe most expert penman. These,
among many illustrations of scientific pro-
gress, occur in our daily experience. Manu-
facture, agriculture, and commerce w'ould
yield us others quite as impressive. In all
this we see that man is finding out and ap-
plying the economy of Nature, and thus that
the world is advancing, by well directed
effort, toward a more natural, and therefore
a happier civilization. The labor-saving pro-
cesses of mechanism are in the highest de-
gree advantageous and admirable. Types
were once oast in moulds, such as boys use
for casting bullets. Now they are turned
out, with inconceivable rapidity, from a cast-
ing-machine worked by steam. Ink and pa-
per, too, are made by machinery; and when
the types are set, we invoke the aid of the
Steam-Press, and we print off at least fifty
impressions to each one produced under the
old process of presswork by hand. Machin-
ery, moreover, folds the printed sheets, trims
the rough edges of books, directs the news-
paper, and does, in short, the bulk of the
drudgery that used to be done by operatves,

rriHE CHURCH is a very peculiar so-
J- eiety ; voluntary in the sense that all
its members become so, not by constraint
but willingly ; but not in the sense that
its doctrines, discipline, and order are the
creatures of the human Avill, deriving
their authority and obligation from the
consent of its members. On the contra-
ry, it has a fixed and unalterable constitu-
tion ; and that constitution is the word
of God. It is the kingdom of the Lord
Jesus Christ. He is enthroned in it as a
sovereign. It can hear no voice but his ;
obey no commands but his; pursue no
ends but his. Its officers are his servants,
bound to execute only his will. Its doc-
trines are his teachings, which he as a
prophet has given from God; its disci-
pline is law, which he as its king, has or-
dained. The power of the church, accord-
ingly, is only ministerial and declarative.
The Bible and the Bible alone, is its only
rule of faith and practice. Beyond the
Bible it can never go ; and, apart from
the Bible, it can ne^^er speak. To the
law and to the testimony, and to them
alone, it must always appeal; and when
they are silent, its duty is silence. " This
Synod is clear that the provinces of Church
and State are entirely distinct, and that
the Church as much transcends its sphere
in pronouncing upon questions pohtical,
as the State transcends its sphere in deal-
ing with matters ecclesiastical. It is true
the Church is to declare and enforce re-

/COMPOSITION, as probably the read-
v>'er knows, is the method of arranging
types in the jDroper form for use. This,
ever since the invention of movable types,
made by Laurentius Coster, in 1430, has
been done by hand. A movement to-
ward economy in this respect was, indeed,
made some sixty years ago, by Charles,
the third Earl Stanhope, inventor of the
Stanhope Press, and of the process of
stereotyping which is still in use. His
plan was to make the type-shank thicker
than usual, and cast two or more letters
upon its face instead of one. This, his
Lordshij) rightly considered, would save
labor, if available combinations could be
determined; since, using such types, it
would fi-equently happen that the com-
positor would need to make but one
movement for two or three or even four
letters. The desired economy, however,
was not secured. Subsequent attempts
at combinations were made in England,
but all proved abortive. In the office of
the London " Times," castings of entire
words, devised, I think, by Sterling, were
used, to a limited extent. It remained,
however, for a New York mechanic to
make the idea of combination type a
practical success. Mr. John H. Tobitt,
being a stenographer as well as composi-
tor, was enabled to make a systematic
selection of the syllables most frequently
occuring in our language ; and thus it
happens that his combinations have stood

The government of all schools for children
must necessarily be of an absolute nature, de-
pending from day to day on the will and word
of the teacher. There must be no debate be-
tween master and pupil, no disputing by the latter
of the former's complete authority, no criticising
of his motives or his policy, but strict obedience
in every case and a reference of all supposed
unjust treatment to parents or trustees. But in
seminaries and colleges, where long dresses and
short beards abound, and the students are sup-
posed to have arrived at something like years of
discreting and to be capable of understanding
the cause of things, the little in-door world is
more like a coiimiunity, and government on any
other than an approximately democratic basis
is absurd, In this matter, as well as that of the
cast-iron curriculum, we need a revolution. The
idea that it is not the best 'thing for the devolop-
ment of a hundred young men of diverse tastes
and capacities to jam them all into the same
college molds, is faintly dawning on the minds
of boards of managers and faculties. "What they
want to learn next is to treat the young gentle-

handed down from generation to generation in
our colleges, with not a single line erased or a

The foolish or malicious pi-anks which make

the specillc rules intended to prevent them, all
of which are founded on the assumption that
they are mere boys continually on the watch

WHITE'S TYPE FOUNDRY. — Change of Firm.—
The name of the llrm that stands at tlie head of this item
is as famlUiar as " household words" to printers througlx-
ont the Union, and also in Europe. The typo fl-oni this
foundry has sent its items of rare news, and flowing senti-
ments of heauty, dressed up in choice language, to the
heartlis and firesides of thousands, giving joy and pleasure
to some, to others, mayhap, a tinge of grief and sorrow,
according as the record may have run. The handsome
font of type from which th.QCou7'ier and Union is printed
and- sent out each morning to gratify an eager public with
its well filled news columns, is from this old estahlished
foundry, and we venture to say a more handsome typo-
graphical outfit eannot be seen in Central or Western
New York. A change has just been made in the firm,
whereby practical gentlemen under the firm and title of
Fakmek, Little & Co., have become successors to
Charles T.White & Co., and will conduct the exten-
sive business of that concern with judicious care and pru-
dence at the old stand, 63 and tiS Beefcmau Street, New
York. With their new t j pe composition, they iu"e enabled
to preSfent a quality in fonts that for durability, elegance
efface and attractive outline, cannot be excelled perhaps
in the world. They arc always up to the latest improve-
ments, and never satisfied while not producing new and
satisfactory results through extensive experiments. We
heartily recommend the new firm of Faesieh, Little &

New Yokk Type Foundey.— Among the many ex-

which sustains a higher reputation than that of Messrs.
Fakmek, Little & Co., New York, whose card we
publish this morning, and we take pleasure in recom-
mending them to printers and publishers of the South.
Their Type are always finished in the best style, and
all orders filled in the most complete manner. The
following extract which we copy from the Macon (Ga.)
Telegraph, of the 23d August, renders but simple jus-
tice to the above excellent firm :
" The new material upon which the Telegraph makes
its appearance this morning, is from the foundry of
Messrs. Fabmeb, Little & Co., New York. The bill
was filled upon order, and perfect. Our printers have
found nothing wanting for the establisliment of a com-
plete News Office. Our friends of the press will under-
stand that this completeness rarely occurs in the
making np of a large establishment ; and we invite
their attention to this fact, as well as to the quality of
the outfit. Onr experience in dealing with Messrs.
F. L. & Co., justifies us in the recommending their
house without any reservation whatever."
LynchMrgh DaUy Mepublican, Sept. 13, 1866.
The best proof we can give of our good opinion of
Messrs. Fabmbk, Little & Co.'s type is the fact that
It is used in the Courier.
SPECIAL NOTICES.
Our New Deess, in which we take especial pride,
is from the Foundry of Messrs. Farmeb, Little & Co.
63 and 05 Beekman Street, New York, with whom we
have had pleasant relations ever since that old estab-
lishment was in the hands of Mr. White. We have
always foimd them courteous and obliging; and their
Type A. No. 1. It will be seen from m& iroptession
that our new type are substantial, handsomely formed,
and clean cut. The Display Type used in the adver-
tisements are worthy of attention, some of the styles
being new, and well adapted to catch the eye. We ad-
vise those who are in want of type not to forget
Messrs. F. L. & Co., when they visit Gothani.

The New Dress in which the Democrat appears
to-day is from the well-known Type Foundry of Messrs.
Farmer, Little & Co., 63 and 65 Beekmftu Street,
New York, (formerly White's.) In all our experience
as publishers, we have never been so well satisfied
with the quality of our printing material as in this
instance. The clear and beautiful print of the Demo-
crat to-day is sufficient evidence of the superior
quality of the printing material furnished at tliis Type
Foundry. The readers of this paper will doubtless join
us in congratulating Farmer, Little & Co., upon
the successful perfection they have attained m the
manufacture of metal tj^ie, as well as all other mate-
rials requisite for the mechanici*! preparation of a
nev/spaper.—Savenna, 0. Democrat, Ain-U 18, 1866.
We have had frequent and extensive dealings with
these well established type fonnders, and have al^vays
found them accommodating, reliable, and liberal deal-
ers. They manufacture every variety of type, and
their metal is of excellent quality and very durable.
The present dress of the Advertiser came from their
foundry about a year since, and the impression is as
clear and beautiful as if it had been used but a few
weeks. This fact is of itself a "good advertisement"
for the manufacturers.— ilioMfe Advertiser.

of presenting tliis specimen of a New Minion,
an entirely new aud original cut difl'ering from
anything to be found in any of the existing
Specimen Books. "With what success our effort
has been attended we leave for Printers to deter-
mine. "We think the face of this letter all that
could be desired — lai-gc, strong, and so well pro-
portioned that all the letters harmonize with the
most perfect accuracy, gracefully tilling the body
in length and breadth, and adjusted with such
nice proportions as to save room without having
a crowded appearance, a matter of great import-
ance, particularly in Newspaper Columns.
Although the improved metal we are now
using renders our type much more durable by
giving more toughness to the fine hair lines, still
the severe work of power press printing makes
it important to have a strong, full face, which is
so prominent a feature in this specimen. We
are prepared to furnish fonts of any quantity of
this or any other size at sliort notice, all made
of our improved metal, which has given such
universal satisfaction.
We furnish Presses aud all kinds of Printing
Materials. Also, Type from other Foundries, and
Printing Inks at the usual prices.
New York Type Foundht.— We should have
mentioned before this, that our elegant New

Little tfc Co., New York. These gentlemen oc-
eup^V a very high position, as tirst in tlie lirstJ line
of Type Founders, and their reputation is co-ex-
tensive with tlie nation. They are, we believe,
perfect gentlemen in all their business transac-
tions, and we cheerfully and cordially reeoramend
them to the patronage of our brethreu of the
Press who may stand in need of a new suit.
We have no Southern Type Foundries, and as
long as we have to go Nortli for Type and Print-
iug Materials, we certainly prefer tliose who have
done well ivith us heretofore, and will give them,
we hope, another trial before a great while, in
still further additions to our pretty well supplied
stock on hand. We advise our friends to call on

ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE.
The government of all scliools for children
must necessarily 'be of an absolute nature, de-
pending from day to day on the will and word
of the teacher. There must be no debate be-
tween master and pupil, no disputing by the
latter of the former's complete authority, no
criticising of his motives or his policy, but
strict obedience in every case and a reference
of all supposed unjust treatment to parents or
trustees. But in seminaries and colleges, where
long dresses and short beards abound, and the
students are supposed to have arrived at some-
thing like years of discretion and to be capa-
ble of understanding the causes of things, the
little in-door world is more like a community,
and government on any other than an approxi-
mately democratic basis is absurd. In this
matter, as well as that of the cast-iron curricu-
lum, we need a revolution. The idea that it
is not the best thing for the developement of a
hundred young men of diverse tastes and ca-
pacities to jam them all into the same college
molds, is faintly dawning on the minds of
boards of managers and faculties. What they
want to learn next is to treat the young gen-
tlemen and ladies under their charge as re-
sponsible human beings possessed of some
little share of the sense supposed to be com-
mon among men and women, and not as
unreasoning children. It is time the old blue
laws that have been handed down from gene-
ration to generation in our colleges, with not
a single line erased or a single word obscured,
were abolished completely. The foolish or
malicious pranks which make college students
appear so puerile or contemptible may be at-
tributed in a great measure to the specific rules
intended to prevent them, all of which are
founded on the assumption that they are mere
boys continually on the watch for opportuni-
ties for misWiief They have just enough of
the boy in them to knock otf the challenge
chip when it is presented to them so tempt-
ingly. Do away with all these regulations
and the system of espoinage and give students
to understand that in college they are to be
governed by precisely the same codes of morals
and politeness which they must observe when
they leave it, and the general character of the
undergraduate will at once become much more
manly and dignified.
A similar revolution is very much needed
in the government of advanced schools for
young ladies. "We have before us the last cata-
logue of one of the most flourishing female
colleges in the country ; and in the " general
regulations" we find the following :—" After
the ringing of the bell which gives the signal
for preparing to retire, young ladies are re-
quired to abstain from all noise which may
disturb others, so that the retiring bell may be
followed by complete stillness throughout the

BUSINESS.— The Western metropolis is
uudouljtedly tlic tlieruiometer wliicli
governs the trade of tlie continent. As beats
the auriferous pulse in AVall street, so flour-
ishes or slackens the trade and traflc and
gigantic commercial interests of the Union.
In order that our readers may take in, at
one view as it were, the condition of busi-
ness, our reportorial staff have been engaged
in investigating matters appertaining to the
trade of the city, and below will be found
the result of their researches.
As a rule business may be rated as dull,
although there are many branches of trade
more flourishing than they were last year.
As an instance of this, we may very proper-
ly refer to those kinds of business which
deal in the necessaries of life. Produce,
the cereal crops, groceries, meats, ifcc, find
a ready sale at greatly enhanced prices;
while silks satins, jewelry, and all other ad-
denda of luxury have comparatively few
purchasers. Labor generally commands a
much higher rate of compensation than
ever before. Of actual want there is com-
paratively very little. Those aljle and will-
ing to work in most instances And plenty
of labor at enhanced prices. Probalsly we
might here make an exception of those
trades and mechanical avocations which
depend upon the shipping interests for sup-
port. Ship builders, joiners, spar makers,
riggers, caulkers, sail makers, boat builders,
ship painters, and such like trades find com-
paratively little to do ; while the building
interests afford an abundance of work to
house carpenters, masons, plasterers, brick-
layers, mantel makers, house painters, tin-
roofers, &c..
The prices of labor have, since 1860, grad-
ually increased, so that now we may con-
sider them to have reached the highest
point attainable. It will be easily seen that
when labor is in great demand the branches
The Blade's New Dkbss. — In noticing
the neA\' dress of our paper yesterday, ^\ e
unintentionally omittecl to state that it came
from the ]\Iessi-s, Farmbk, Little c^' Co., of
New Ycu'k, proprietors of White's A\ell
known Foundry, one of the oldest estab-
lishments of the kind in this country. Lit-
tle need be said of their type. As avc said
of Hekky Clay's mouth, they "speak for
themselves." W^e must say, hoivever, that,
to our taste and judgment, they form the
best ne'\vsi)ai)er dress that we e\'er saw. The
"body type" were all newly "cut" letters,
of large face in admirable proportions. The
metal is hard and durable. Of the durabili-
ty of the type from that Foundry, it is suftt-
elent to state that the old dress of the
Blade from the same establishment was in
use on our three editions for over five and
a half years, and that during the last six
months M'e have been repeatedly congratu-
lated on the new drenH of our paper. The
" display type" used in our advertisements
are from the same place.— Tvlcilo Blade.
The New Dkbss, in which the Dbmo-
CHAT appears to-day, is from the cclel)rated

merly White's.) In all our experience as
pnl)lishers, we have never been so well satis-
fied with the quality of our printing material
as in this instance. The clear and beautifnl
print of the De.mockat to-day is sufficient
evidence of the suiDerior quality of the print-
ing material furnished at this Foundi-y. The
readers of this paper will doubtless join us
in congratulating Fahmeu, Little & Co.

THE HISTORY OF IRON is the
lustoiy of civilization. Tlie rougli,
shapeless ore that lies hidden in the
earth folds in its unlovely bosom such
fate and fortune as the haughtier sheen
of silver, gleam of gold, and sparkle of
diamond may illustrate, but are Avholly
impotent to create. Rising from his
undisturbed repose of ages, the giant,
unwieldy, swart, and huge of limb, bends
slowly his brawny neck to the yoke of
man, and at his bidding becomes a
nimble servitor to do his Avill. Subtile
as thought, rejoicing in power, no touch
is to delicate for his perception, no
service too mighty for his strength.
Tales of faerie, feats of magic, pale
before the simple story of his every-day
labor, or find in his deeds the facts
which they but faintly shadowed forth.
And Avaiting upon his transformation,
a tribe becomes a nation, a race of
savages rises up philosophers, artists,
gentlemen. Commerce, science, warfare
have their progress and their vicissi-
tudes ; but underneath them all, un-
noted it may be, or treated to a super-
ficial and perhaps supercilious glance,
yet main-spring and regulator of all,
runs an iron thread, true thread of Fate,
coiling around the limbs of man, and
impeding all progress, till he shall have
imtwisted its Gordian knot, but bidding
him forward from strength to strength
with each successive release. No ro-
mance of court or camp surpasses the
romance of the forge. A blacksmith
at his anvil seems to us a respectable,
but not an eminently heroic person ; yet.
walking backward along the past by
the light which he strikes from the
glowing metal beneath his hand, we
shall fancy ourselves to be walking in
the true heroic age. Kings and war-
riors have brandished their swords right
royally, and such splendor has flashed
from Excalibur and Morglay that our
dazzled eyes have scarcely discerned the
brawny smith who not only stood in
the twilight of the background and
fashioned with skilful hand the blade
which radiates such light, but passed
through all the land, changing huts
into houses, houses into homes, and
transforming into a garden by his skill
the wilderness which had been rescued
by the sword. Vigorous brains, clear
eyes, sturdy arms have wrought out,
not without blood, victories more po-
tent, more permanent, more lieroic, than
those of the battle-field. Such books
as this under consideration give us only
materials for the great epic of iron, but
with such materials we can make our
own rhythm and harmony. From the
feeble beghming of the savage, rejoic-
ing in the fortunate possession of two
old nails, and deriving a sufiicient in-
come from letting them out to his neigh-
bors for the purpose of boring holes,

ment. Prejudice builds its solid break-
waters ; ignorance, inability, clumsiness,
and awkwardness raise such obstacles as
they can ; but the delay of a century is
but a moment. Slowly, and surely the
waters rise till they sweep away all ob-
stacles, overtop all barriers, and plunge
forward again with ever accelerating
force. Tlie record of iron is at once a

While the minds of men were warmed
by the religions enthusiasm Avhich Avas
aAvakened, first by the Crusades, and
afterwards by the Reformation, the Aet
OF Pkintikg, destined to alter the face
of the moral Avorld, perpetiiated the im-
pressions thus created, and widened the
circle over which they extended. The
spirit of religious freedom was no longer
nourished only from the exhortations
of the pulpit, or developed in the fervor
of secluded congregations ; it breathed
into the permanent exertions of human
thought, and spread with the increas-
ing wealth and enlarged desires of an
opulent state of society. The charms
of genius and the discoveries of science
may attract a few in every age ; but it
is by religious emotion chiefly that the
great body of mankind are to be moved ;
and it was by the spread of its enthu-
siasm, accordingly, that the greatest ex-
ertions of European liberty have been
sustained. But the diffusion of know-
ledge through the medium of the press,
is not destined to awake mere transient
bursts of popular feeling. By imbuing
the minds of those master-spirits who
direct human thought, it produces deep
and lasting impressions on society, and
is perijetually renewed in the successive
generations who inhale, while in the
ardor of youth, the maxims and the
spirit of classical freedom. The whole
face of society has been modified by this
mighty discovery ; the causes of ancient
decay seem counteracted in a powerful
manner by new principles of vitality,
derived from multitudes whose talents
are brought to bear on the fortune of
the state ; and the influence of despotic
power shaken, by the infusion of inde-
pendent principles even into those ar-
mies which are destined to enforce its
authority.
But it is not unmixed good which
has arisen from the diffusion of know-
ledge. If the iDrinciples of improvement
have acquired a hardier growth, those
of evil have been more generally dis-
seminated ; the contests of society have
grown in magnitude and increased in
violence, and the passions of nations
been brought into collision, instead of
the ambition of individuals. Vice has
here, as elsewhere in human affairs,
mingled in largo and often overwhelm-
ing proportions with the stream of time,
and continued in the most advanced
ages that struggle between virtue and
sin, which has been the lot of man from
the beginning of the world. The vis-
ions of inexperience and the dreams of
philanthropy, at first anticipated the
eradication of evil from the spread of
knowledge, and an unbroken progress
of improvement from the extension of
education; forgetting that the heart
is the fountain from which the issues
of life, the direction given to the acqui-
sitions of science, flow ; and that unless
it is purified, it is of little moment
what is put in the hand. In the midst
of these entrancing prosjDects, human
iniquity mingled with the current ; and
the new powers thus acquired were too
often applied to the basest purposes;
crime and corruption increased with
the extension of desires, and vice mul-

those rules l)y which he may compose with accuracy, ease, and expedition. An ill
habit once acquired, is with difiiculty shaken off; the variety of motions exhibited by
some compositors arc truly ludicrous; such as nodding the head, agitating the body,
throwing out the arms, ticking the letter against the case or composing rule, with
many other false movements, which not only lose tune, but fatigue the mind, and
exhaust the body. The swift movement of the hand is not the criterion of a quick

-*-a solitary farmhouse stands, or stood at the period of which we now write
in lonesome beauty, shaded by two magnificent oak trees, the growth of more
than a century. For miles in every direction the rugged, rocky land and
abrujDt hills afforded means of livelihood to only a half dozen poor and
hard laboring families, who starved on their rocky possessions. No house
was within a mile of the Eocky Glen farm, but around this quiet spot were
evidences of the toil of many years, perhaps many generations. There was
a lawn in fi-ont of the house, on which grew fruit trees, such as are usually
found nearest the house. A fine orchard was on a hillside and over the
hilltop close by. Patches of smooth land here and there, fi-om which every
stone had been carefiilly picked, indicated the ability of the farm in the way
of clover and timothy, while in the summer time many garden spots, rich
with waving gi-ain, lit up the otherwise dark and sombre aspect of the four
hundred acres which were included in the farm of Ichabod Armstrong.

CHAELES BABBAGE, of London, tlie inventor of the Calculating
Engine, first essayed the application of machinery to composition. His
calculator was so contrived that it would record in type the results of its
own computations. This was over forty years ago. At about the same
time Professor Treadwell of Cambridge, Massachusetts, who was bred a
practical mechanic, turned his attention to this improvement, and ascer-
tained by experiment the feasibility of the type-setting machine. But me-
chanical enterprise was then comparatively inactive in America, and noth-
ing of immediate practical importance resulted from the Professor's experi-
ments. Kor did greater success attend the efforts of Dr. William Church,
of Yermont, a contemporary inventor, who constructed an apparatus for
setting tjrpes, but failed to provide for their distribution. Subsequently, for
a long time, the idea slumbered. At length, about the year ISiU, Mr. Tim-
othy Alden, a printer, and a native of Massachusetts, conceived a plan for
setting and distributing type, which has since been put into successful ope-
ration. Mr. Alden's workshop was, I believe, situated at the coi-ner of
Canal and Centre Streets, in New York City. There he labored in privacy,

year after year, encountering all manner of difficulty and discouragement,
till his great work was substantially completed. His invention was patented
in 185Y, but the studious and persevering inventor did not live to reap the
fruits of the seed he had sown. Worn out with care and toil and long-
suffering patience, he died in 1859, a martyr to scientific progress. His
patent passed into the hands of his cousin, Mr. Henry W. Alden, who has
since organized a company for the manufacture and sale of the Alden
Machine. In appearance, this machine resembles a circular table, having
in its center a wheel, placed horizontally, from the outer edge of which
lines of tj])e radiate, like spokes from an axle, to the distance of about one
foot. Three-quarters of the circle is filled up by these lines. In front is a
key-board, containing one hundred and fifty-four keys, by which the opera-
tor o^overns the action of the machine. The central wheel controls some
forty " conveyors," half of which compose the types into language, while
the other halt distribute them, guided by certain nicks cut upon their sides,
to their proper places, when no longer needed. Both operations may go
on at the same time. The types, as they are composed, are fed out m a
continuous line, at the left of the key-board. The operator then divides
the line into proper lengths, and "justifies" it by hand. "Justifying it
should be stated, consists in placing spaces between the words, and making
the lines of equal length. This machine is a very ingenious invention, and
marks the first great step towards successful improvement m the method o±

saving instinct in man, and thus confirm the scientific lesson of to-day.

the Types are set, we inmlte the aid of the Steam-Press, and so print

Machinery now does nearly every sort of labor— economizing health,
streno-th, time, and money, in all that it does. We tread upon beauti-
fuUy^gured carpets that are woven by machinery from single threads.
We wear clothes that are made by machinery at the rate of two thou-
sand stitches a minute. We hear in every direction the whistle of the
locomotive, which saves us almost incalculable time, in the safe and
convenient transportation of our persons and our property. We read
in our newspapers messages that are brought instantaneously, from
points far as well as near, by a simple electric current, governed by
machinery, which prints its thought in plain Roman characters, at a
rate of speed defying the emulation of the most expert penman. These,
among many illustrations of scientific progress, occur in our daily
expenence Manufacture, agriculture, and commerce would yield us
others quite as impressive. In all this we see that man is finding out
and ap-plying the economy of Nature, and thus that the world is ad-
vancing, by well-directed effort, toward a more natural, and therefore
a happier civilization. . t j x -□ • +•

colleges where long dresses and short beards abound, and the
students are supposed to have arrived at something like years of
discretion and to be capable of understanding the causes of things,
the little in-door world is more like a community, and government
on any other than an approximately democratic basis is absurd.

The conquerors of Europe had their acquisitions to maintain, not
only against such of the ancient inhabitants as they had spared, but
also_ against the more formidable inroads of some new invaders, self
defence was their chief care, and seems to have been the chief
object of their first institutions and policy, instead of the loose
associations, which though they scarcely diminished personal inde-
pendence, yet had been amply sufficient for their security, while
they remained in their original countries, they saw the necessity of
uniting in more close confederacy, and of relinquishing some of
their private rights in order to attain public safety ; every freeman
on receiving some portion of the land which was divided, bound
himself to appear in arms against all the enemies of the community ;
this military service was the only condition upon which he received
and held his land, and as they were exempted from all other bur-
den, that tenure among so warlike a people, was deemed both easy

and honorable; the king or general who led them to conquest
continuing still to be head of the colony, had of course, the largest
part allotted to him. Having acquired the means of rewarding
past services, as well as of gaining new adherents, he parcelled out
his lands with this view, binding those on whom they were be-
stowed to resort to his standard with a number of men m propor-
tion to the extent of the territory which they received, and to bear
arms in his defence ; his chief ofl&cers imitated the example of their
sovereign, and in distributing portions of their own lands among
their dependents annexed the same condition to their grant ; thus
a feudal kingdom resembled a military estabhshment rather than a
civil institution ; the victorious army cantoned out in the country
which it had captured continued ranged under its ofl&cers, and sub-
ordinate to a military command; the names of a soldier and a free
man were synonymous, every proprietor of land, girt with a sword,
was ready to march at the summons of his superior, and take the
field against the common enemy. But though the feudal pohcy
seems so admirably calculated for defence, against the assaults of
any foreign power, its provisions for the interior order and tran-

Much time is unnecessarily lost by many
compositors in looking at a word before they
distribute it. By proper attention in a learner,
he may avoid this, and become, without the
appearance of hurry, an expeditious as well as
clean distributer. To attain which, we would
recommend him never to take more letter in
his hand than he can conveniently hold, and, if
possible, always to take an entire word ; and to

with the cursory view he may have of it while

that so many in the same business are indebted
