Pertls of Elder Pmntebs , —It is pleasant , passing pleasat-t , in these timeS j to loothack upon the perils of the printer , seeing him as he nowi 3 , crpwned ¦ with a thousand triumphs . We can , almost with complacency , enjoy the predicament of John Faust , goldsmith , of Mentz , offering in the pious city of Paris , his printed Bibles at fire and six hundred crowns a-piece ; and then , suddenly abating his demand , tendering them at the remarkablylowprice -ofaxiy . The scribes take the alarm . The devil must be bondman to the . printer . The books are ¦ coriohsly scanned , and it is manifest as truth , the Tuuformity of the copies declare the workmanship , or at least the co-assistance of Beelzebub himself . ( A . great reflection this on the legendary astuteness of
the devil , that he should be so forgetful of his interests as to manufacture cheap Bibles : but bo it is ; ignorance and persecution are prone to su « h false complaints . " ) Welll great is the uproar in Paris ; £ be scribes , be sure of it—the ingenious , industrious men -who copy Biblesy-very disinterestedly join in ihe outcry , xaust is discovered—many Bibles found At his Iodging 3 ; some of the books printed in his bloftd ; a horrible fact , shown beyond all < loabt in the Ted ink by -which they are embellished ; and loud and nnanimou 3 l 3 ihe cry fox fire and faggots to con-« ome the magician . The wizard is flung into prison :
* & 3 , to escape roasting alive as one in fealty to the fiend , he makes known his secret to the admiration of the world , and especially to the irofcder and fcanksgrring of the simple church . Alas ! little did cei fatand Tubicond children , feeding quietly in her cells like wonn 3 in nutsj little did they anspect the mischief hiddenin the discovery . Little thought they that the first creaking of Gnttenbnrg's rude printing press was , in thefnlnessof time , tobetheknellof crafi and ignorance .

Strange ! it may be thought that a little creaking at Mentz should make itself bo very audible at Rome I—Heads of the People . Poster ' s Devil . —Gentle reader , does not the Printer ' s DeTil present himself to your admiring imagination , despite his ink-stained hands and face , in colours of the brightest . radiance 1 Jostled in the street , -or 3 it may beiriSsngly bespattered by mad
from his mercurial heels , how little do you dream that the offending urchin , ihe hurrying DeyiL ias about him " something dangerons . " You know it not ; but , innocent , mirthful as he seems , he is loaded with copy . - He may be rushing , gambolling jumping like a young satyr , and is withal the Devil to a newspaper . His looks ara the looks of merriment ; yet the pc-cksis of his corduroy trowBere may be charged -with thunderbolts . He would not hurt a mouse ; and in his jacket slumbers lightning to destroy a ministry . Perhaps for a whole Mint he could not compass a sum in addition ; and yet it rests -with liia integrity whether to-morrow morning the nation shall be saTed from bankruptcy ; for deposited in hlj cap , is as elaborate essay addressed totheingenions
traders in the Money market ; an essay setting forth principles which , if adopted , shall in one fortnight transform beggared England into El Dorado . If the PrinterV Devils as abo 3 y , knewiheir strength , what darkness might they for a time bringnpon the worlds A conspiracy amongst the gas-men would be matter fora jest , compared to the Cimmerian gloom produced by Printers' Devils , sworn to a simultaneous destruction of copy ! We own , this 5 s a dangerous suggestion ; but h * a we not a great faith in the naturalgoodness of ourDevils , we might assure ourselves in their want of combination . Besides , it is just possible that the Devil may bear copy as a bishop ' s horse may bearits master ; witbont for one moment susDeetmz the wisdom , the learning , ihe piety , the
chanty , and loving-kindness to all men , that he carries . We say this is possible . We trust , however , that yie have Tittered BBfficieni to obtain for our devil respectful consideration in his street pilgrimaces should the reader by the smutched face , the ray dirty hands , the air of literary slovenliness , aboutiis wardrobe , and withal bya certain Sickness - of expression , a shrewdness of face , detect the fiend , forindeed he has all these maiks . The trn » Printers ' Deril is , after all , a very superior drudge . It would be yery unseemly to ns to insist , that his ^ eontiant intercourse with a certain class of indmdnal 3 whets his spirit , and endues ^ him with a peculiar look of intelligence ; but soil is ; the Deril , especially the newspaper Devil , is as distirict an animal from the mere errand-boy , as is the wild ass of the desert from the ass of the sand-man . Hence should the Devilb
reader meet with-iim , we crave for our , y virtue of what he may carry ; respectful conadera ; tion . Consider it ; are there not some rnnters Derils : ramelesa though they be , who may Deconsidered almost classic ! The Devil , for instance , who carried the proofs of the " Vicar of Wakefield to Goldsmith ; who , we will be sworn for him , rewarded Ms inky messenger with many a tester ; tpe Devil , constant Devil , who took copy from Johnson ; Defoe ' s Devil : Dry den ' s Devil ; the Devil who—bat "we will not number them : deleave it to the memory to the imagination of the reader to call up and picture to himself the legion of Devils that have visited the sons of genius and of wretchedness : that now , climbing garret stairs , now , despatched , to suburb hovels ; and now to the squalor , the darkness , the misery of a gaol—for copy ; have borne from thence

^ Str ^ ^ that haTe crowned human nature as with a diadem ; thoughts sweet and sus-Uumn ^ astheanr of Heaven , thoughts unfathomable as ihe sea , imperishable as the stars .-J&r f . Benefits of a Taste sob . Poetbt . —There is one subject which requires a short consideration before passing to the third branch of education , or that which relates to the formation of moral character it may be thonght extravagant to propose the cultivation of a taste for poetryas a regularpart of education , especially for tha poorer classes . Yet , education , which seeks to develops the faculties of a luman being , must he very inadequate if it neglects the culture of the imagination . The power of poetic creation isindeedthe rarest of endowmentsbut syLi ^^ i \ . * l . . . . ^ t *' t lu 0 U « "i 8 untathomable
, , , ; he power of enjoyment is general . The highest human mind differs not in kind , but in degree , from the . humblest . The deepest principles of science discovered by ihe slow toil of the greatest men , the loftiest imaginings of the poet , having once been revealed in the form of human conceptions , and emr bodieQ in language , become the common property of the race , and all who go out of life without a sbare in these treasures ,-which no exientof participation diminishes , have lost the richest portion of their birthright . Man rarely feels the dignity of his nature in . the small circle of his common cares . It is when brought into communion with the great spirits of the present and the past , —when he beholds the two worlds of imagination And realityin the
, light of Shakspeare ' s genius , or is filled with the sacred sublimities of Milton , or from Wordsworth learns the beauty of common things , and catches a glimpse of those " clouds of glory , " out of which his childhood came , —that he feels the elevating sense of what he is and may become . In this high atmosphere , so bracing to the moral nerves , no selfish or sordid thoughts can live . But assuredly there isno class in society to whom the sustainment of such communion is more requisite than to tho largest and poorest . The harshness of the realities about them requireaits softening and soothing inflnence . It is a good which they may have vrith no evil attendant . Its purifying excitement may displace stimulants ¦ whi ch brutalize and degrade them . —The Educator .
A Madhas ' s Address to Medical Students . — Here you are , a hundred or more able-bodied young fellows , inhabitants of a country where labour and indttstry always in greater demand than professional science and dignity , secure the rewards which science does not—the independence and wealth which are tho great aim 3 of every American . I hold you mad , first , because you have deserted the fields you would have passed useful and happy lives in tilling , to enter upon a professional career , in which you will , if you don ' t starve outright , remain poor unlucky drones for life ; secondly , because if you must have a profession , you have chosen the worst of all professions in the world—the poorest in emolument , the lowest in influence , the least in dignity . Had you chosen the law , you might have gabbled and cheated your way to fortune , and to
L-ongress into the bargain ; with divinity , you might have married rich wives and preached bad sermons in religious content to your dying day ; whereas , as doctors , supposing you don't prove , from sheer incompentency , pnblic murderers , you -will waste your damjn works of humanity , for which you are only ha ^ aid , and not thanked at all ; besides , being deprived of all these means of making a fortune , which belong to the other professions . Thirdly , and finall y , you are mad , because if you ' will' be doctors , you yet go to the trouble and expense of studying the art , when the world would have liked you just as well , and indeed a great deal better , if you had begun to slash and physic without any study or preparation whatever . Men must be mad , indeed , who will study physic , when they can make a fortune three times a 3 fast by quackery . —Dr . Bird .
A Lesson to the Abistocoacy . —To work ! What incalculable source 3 of cultivation lie in that process , in that attempt ; how it lays bold of the whole man , not of a small theoretical calculating fraction ofhim , bat of the whole practical , doing and daring and enduring man ; thereby to awaken dormant faculties , root out old errors , at every step ! He that has done nothing ha 3 known nothing . Vain is it to sit scheming and plausibly discoursing ; up and be doing ! If ihy knowledge bo real , put it forth from thee ; grapple with real nature ; try thy theories there , and see how they hold out . Do one thing , for the first time in thy life do a thine ; a new light will rise on thee on the doing of all things whatsoever . Truly , a boundless significance lies in work ; whereby
the hvunblest craftsman comes to attain much , which is of indispensable use , but which he who is of no craft , were he ever so high , runs the risk of missing . Necessity , moreover , which we here see as the moth # r of Accuracy , is wellknown as the mother of Invention . He who wants everything , must know many things to procure even a fee ; different enough with him , whose indispensable koowledge is this only , that & finger will pull the bell ! So that , for al men who live , we may conclude , this Life of Man is a school , wherein the naturally foolish will continue foolish though yon bray him in a mortar , but the naturally wise _ will gather -wisdom under every
disadvantage . What , meanwhile , must be the condition of an Earl , when the highest advantages there become perverted into drawbacks ; when , if you take two men of genius , and put the one between the handles of a plough , and mount the other between the painted coronets of a coach-and-four , and bid them move along , the former shall arrive a Bnrns , the latter a Byron ; two men of talent , and put the one into a Printer ' s Chapel , full of lampblack , tyrannous usage , hard toil , and the other into Oxford University , with lexicons and libraries , and hired expositors and sumptuous endowments , the "former shall come out * Dr . Franklin , the latter a Dr . Parr!—Car / wfeV Miscellaneous Works .

just to look at it , at . das I was ! playing with the shears , they slipped and cut the cloth .
