THE PRINTER’S CONSOLATION. Tell me ye gentle winds, That round may pathway play, la there no place on earth Where printer’s get their pav, The whispering breeze went by — With accents 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 no cherished place, Where printers meet no wrong? The gentle brook replied, Ju murmurs soft and low — And winding on its verdant way, It meekly answered ‘No!’ Tell me ye murky clouds. Now rising in the west, Is there upon the globe One spot by printers blest Th» flashing clouds upspoko With an indignant glow— A voice that filled the earth with awe, In thuuderanswered ‘No!’ Tell me hard hearted man, Withholding day by day, Is there no honor in thy breast. The printer’s bill to pay? Un answering turns he round— How plain his actions show An uttered oath-capped sound is heard His actions answer‘No!’ Tell me ye gentle nymphs, Who bless lifes hours through, Is there one sacred shrine There printer’s gain their due? A mantling blush her cheek diffused, Did ten-fold grace impart— A soft, responsive sigh replied “Tie foundjn woman’s heart! Tell me, angelic hosts, Ye messengers of love, Shall suffering printer's here below Have no redress above? The angel bands replied—“Tous is knowledge given— Delinquents on the printer’s books Can never enter heaven!” xrrw ‘ — LOVE IN A STEEL TRAP. BY THK COLONEL. •Love laughs at locksmiths,’ we are told; but rat-traps are no subject of laughter, even to the blind god himself, as I shall show you in the sequel of this brief story. But will you go to night?’ . • X'es, 1 will.’ 'And if I have old Bob, behind the barn at twelve, you'll be waiting inside and we’ll drive to New York and get married right straight off the reel?’ ‘Yes. When all the folks are in bod and asleep, I’ll steal out of the washhouse door, go to the barn, get in and disguise myself. When yo come, put in your finger, lift the lacth, open the barn door, and I’ji drop into your arms like a ripe apple. Oh, I do so love to run away! Won’t it be delightful.’ The speaker were Joe Clavers and Mary Miller! I need not mention that they were lovers. Mary’s father was a prosperous farmer in Connecticut and Mary herself one of the most lightbead, lomantic, innocent and affectionate creature ever made after the ‘almost divine’ model of mother Eve. Joe wi.s a generous, impulsive youth whose parents had once been flattering days, but had of late been unfortunate, and fallen into comparative poverty. Farmer Miller, as he grew rich, grew ambitious. Mary was his only child.— He looked to her settlement in the world as a means of his own social advancement and bad already selected, in his mind’s eye, a suitable match for her. Os course, Joe’s attentions, therefore, did not meet with approval; and while he was unwilling to be sordid enough to reject Joe openly, for l.is lack of means he had suggested to that young adventurer the propriety of absenting himself altogether from Mary's attractive presence. This done be had assured Mary of his resolutions to dispose of her hand accordingly to his own notions of feminine happiness. . I need not say that these facts, opperating on the mind of a thoughtless; loving eccentric and spirted child like Mary had a peculiar effect. That very moment she 1 determined to marry Joe Clavers. He was evidently persecuted! Persecution only made him the dearer to her—She liked him before; but now she loved him. In fact the more she thought of the matter, tho more she was convinced that he was an angel and that perfect idolatiy on her part would only be an act of noble : devotion. If farmer Miller had been a sensible man and at al! disposed to study hgman - nature, he would adopt, perhaps a very ‘ different course toward bis wayward 1 daughter. He would have introduced f )::<• proposed son-in-law and forbidden her at the same tt’ indulge ip the »ligh!cal a

regard for him. The probability is that ( : she would have fallen desperately in love ' with him at first sight and have given Joe his conge without further ceremony but farmer Miller bad away of his own in all things, and he was satisfied that, • should Mary feel disposed to play him a trick, he was quite able tomanage a Roland for an Oliver. The very next morning after he had ; 'opened his mind,’ as he called it to his daughter be luckily happed to see Claverse make further entrance into kitchen, when Mary was busily at work, but not singing as usual, for she was brooding ’ over the parental cruelty. Farmer Miller did not permit many minutes to elapse before lie had placed himself in the wash-house which ad- 1 joined the kitchen, so that he might hear al! that passed between the discomfited lovers. He did hear the dialogue | with which I have commenced thisAistorleUe. He possessed himself of the contemplated elopement., and he was satisfied. ‘She is going to run away, is she?’ he j said to himself I’ll teach him a lesson, I j warrant me; and as for the little Gipsey, I’ll settle her business very speedily. After, tea that evening, Mary retired to her little room her heart beating with I anxiety for the approach of midnight. — Her surprise may be imagined when ; half an hour afterwards. She tried the handle of the lock. It would not move! — What was to be done? Could it have become fastened accidentally? So she called , for her father, and he came. ‘What’s the matter Mary?’ was his exclamation, without, however opening the chamber door. ‘My door is fast, and I can’tget out? ‘Very well, dear, was his reply: go to bed like a good giil, and I’ll open it in the morning.’ She knew it was not of the slightest use to remonstrate. He must, by some i means have discovered her disign. She could do nothing but weep and bite her | lips with vexation. The nexl thing the farmer did was to visit the barn. As usual, it had a large wagon-door in which was for common use a small entrance. The latter was only secured by the ordinary latch inside ' which was lifted in the customary way, by thrushing a finger through a small hole made in the door, beneath the latch (or the purpose. Father Miller remained in the barn long- enough to arrange matters to suit ! his purpose, and then coming out through a stable that adjoined, or rather lay partly behind it, he walked quietly home, laughed quietly to himself. He first listened at his daughter’s door, and finding all quiet retired to his own room, and went to sleep. Jnst about midnight, a horse and wagon drew silently up, on the road, behind Farmer Millers barn. Joe Clavers got stealthily out of the vehicle, jumped the fence, and crept cautiously around to the door of the building in question' How happy he felt! In another moment, Mary would be his own! In the morning she would be his darling little wife. Farmer Miller would storm of course; but the farmer loved his daughter early. He was proud of her. He would therefore relent, forgive and bless them. Full of these delightful anticipations. Joe thrust his finger into the hole in the barn door to reach the latch, but—Ah!’—bow he yelled with pain. A steel trap, adroitly placed on the inside, so as to catch any obtruding article had snapped and his bleeding finger was held fast in its iron teeth! It was a cold night, and Joe’s feelings may be conjectured as he stood there shivering and shaking, after hour, unable to move from the spot, held a prisoner by the savage instrument, his lacerated finger occasioned him exquisite agony, and his heart sinking into his boots with the conviction that daybreak would only ex-; pose him to the farmer’s indignation and the village ridicule. Just at dawn Farmer Miller, chuckling over the success of his ruse, went down • to the harn. There stood Joe, and not far off the hoTse anil wagon. I need not say how Joe implored pardon, and promised everything that eonld be desired to purchase it and silence. Farmer Miller and lie finally closed a bargain. Joe was released. Nay More! Joe was in New 1 ork before noon, en route for lowa. As for Mary, this incident occurred two years ago, and I have just kissed her first baby. She pleased her father, and seems to have pleased herself in consequent, quite as much.— Sunday Times. The people in the Southern States are anticipatiag a sickly summer.

THE GLOBE. the OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS. Z PUBLISH now ray annual Prospectus of. The Daily Globe, and The Congressional , Globe and Appendix, to remind subscribers, and inform those who may desire to subscribe, ; that Congress will meet on the first Monday of ■ next December, when I shall recommence pub lishino the above named papers. ’’ hey have ■ been published so long that most public men kr.ow their character, and therefore I deem it needless a minute account of the kind of matter they will contain. The Daily Globe will contain a report ofthe j debates in both branches of Congress as taken , down by reporters equal, at least, to any corps of short hand writers in this or any other conn- 1 try. A majority of them will, ea«h, be able to ; to report, verbatim, ten thousand words an hour while the average number of words spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceed seven thousand five hundred words an hour. When the debates of a day do not make more than forty; columns they shall appear in the Daily Globe of, the next morning, which will contain, also, the news of the day. together with such editorial articles as may be suggested by passing events. It is also my intention, from time, as occasion may require, to publish my reminiscences of the public men with whom I have been associated I during the last twenty eight years. Anecdotes I of General Jackson, and the leaders ofthe party which he conducted, and tho leading men of I other parties, will, I believe, be interestingnow when partisan bitterness has abated. In becoming the reporter of the debates of Congress 1 deemed it proper to say that the j Globe would never boa partisan paper. This i pledge will not be forfeited by introducing as a contribution to history the political traits of character which distinguished the public men of mv time. Although I am, and intend to remain, a thourough democrat, I will never obtrude my principles in away to make them obnoxious to any party. But in regard to persons and events which go to make up history. I hope to make the Globe an honest memoir; and with that view I am resolved to speak independently of all parties. The Congressional Globe and Appendix will contain a report of all the debates in Congress, revised by the speakers, the messages of the President of the United States, the annual reports of the heads of the executive departments, the laws passed during the session, and copious indexes to all. They will be printed on a double royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto size, each number containing sixteen pages. The whole will make, it is believed, 3,300 and 3,900 pages, as the long sessions for many years have ranged between those numbers, and the next session will be what is termed a “long one.”— This 1 believe is the cheapest work ever sold in any country, whether a reprint or printed from manuscript copy, taking for data the average number of words of the long session since the year 1848. The average number of pages is 3,876, and the average number of words on a page is 2,397,consequently, the average number of words of a long session is 9,29 ',772. As I have’old to subscribers that number of words for six dollars, it follows that they have paid less than six and one-half cents for every 103,000 word - I have furnished them, while I have paid my reporters 629 for every 2,397 words, of this work, in manuscript? Has any other bookseller, anywhere, ever sold a book in the first instance, while it was new, at so low a rate? I believe not; and so strong is my belief that I hereby agree to give to any person who shall prove"the contrary a complete set of the debates running back to 1833. making forty-three quarto volumes, which sellfor ssavolume. An act of Congress authorizes these papers to goby mail free of postage. The next session will be, without doubt, an unusual interesting one; as it will be the first under a new administration, and several complex questions must be discussed in it—for example, the currency, Kansas, revenue, and other questions. The Globe will be ilsheretofore, the only source from which full debates can be obtained. terms: For a copy of the Daily Globe one year, $lO 00 “ “ “ six months. 5 O'’ " “ “during the session 5 00 For a copy of Congressional Globe an Appendix, and the laws passed during the session, 6 00 Bank notes, current inthesection of the country where a subscriber resides, will be received at par. The whole or any part of a subscription may be remitted in postage stamps, which is preferable loany currency, except gold or silver. A paper will not be sent unless the money accompanies the order for it. JOHN C. RIVES. Nov. 29, 1857. Washington, BRILLHT IWECnS’ FOURTH YEAR OF THE COSMOPOLITAN ART ASSOCIATION.

Prospectus for 1858. SATURDAY EVENING POST, ISTABLISUSD AUGUST 4, 1821. The Paper that Never Su-pends, A FAMILY WEEKLY, ! DEVOTED TO LITERATURE A NEWS. Tn these times of Bank suspensions and Mer- . cantile suspension., the proprietors of the 8a turdav Evening Post call the attention of the reading public to their old and firmly estabi lished weekly paper, as the paper that never , ; suspends. For over ; THIRTY SIX YEARS The Post has been published; and in all that I * cr i, M l -through “good times” and through‘bad time’ ' through bank inflations and bank contractions. through prosperous seasons and through panics, the Post has b en regularly is- ' sued everv week, and forwarded to its thousands of subscribers. Its proprietors therefore point to the past as an unfailing index of the i future And they feel that in asking of the reading public a continuance of the patronage heretofore so liberally bestowed upon The Post they are asking no more than what it will be both the interest and the pleasure of that pub. lie to grant, . Among the contributors to the Post, we may I mention the following gifted writers: IV ilbam Howitt. Allice Carev. T. R Authur Grace Greenwood. Anna Blackwell, Augustine Du!<rnnne. Mrs. M. A. Denison, Emma Allicc Browne, the. autlior of "An Extra-Judicial Statement." the author of “Zillah, the Child Medium," <te. NOVELET, by T. S. ARTHUR. Mr Arthur’s productions are so widely known, that we need hardly say t’ at the tone of the present novelet will be consistent with the Mo ral and instiuctivucliaracter which we have always striven to impress upon the Post. Readers who wish to peruse the flash stories which abound in the land—pernicious and destruc five in their tendency and effects —can find them, we regret say, at every corner. Rut the Post will still maintain its high character, a« a paper which the most scrupulous parent may allow freely to enter THE FAMILY CIRCLE; ' And which will purify and and instruct, instead ofdemor lizing and' corrupting the youthful mind. Especially will its conductors avoid, in the publication of the weekly news, all those long and disgusting reports —unfortunately now so common —of VILE CRIMTNAL cases; Believing, as they do, that the practice of pub lishing rhe details of such loathsome cases, and ’ criminal trials resulting therefrom, is a fruitful causeofthe recent alarming increase of vice and crime in the community.

If is the intention of the Proprietors of the Sentinel to make it in all respects a newspaper worthy the support of the Democracy of Indiana. And m the proportion itscirculation is increased and its advertising patronage enlarged will be our ability to add to its interest. Having no local Agents, we depend entirely upon the efforts of our political friends to extend its circulation. In no cheaper or more effectual way can political intellence be circulated, zeal excited and party organization preserved, than through the medium of the press. All then.whoaredesirious of the succes of Democratic principles and policy, can serve the cause in no better way than in extending the circulation of the political organs of the party. The year, upon which we have entered, will doubtless be one of important events- Upon all matters of public interest we shall give full and reliable intelligence. Au important State election occurs next October. A new Legislalature, members of Congress, Supreme Judges, and most of the State officers are to be elected. Tt is only by sleepless vigtlence and untiring efi fort that we can expect to mala tain the supremacy of the Democratic party. It behooves every j Democrat, then, to inform himself upon the isI sues of the dav. which it will be the object of i the Sentinel faithfully topresent, and tiius be , prepared for the conflict. The Sentinel will be governed in its political course by the authoratively expressed sentiments of the party. The principles and policy it promulgates it will be our aim to advocate and defend, believing that upon the integrity of the Democratic party rests the preservation' of our unequalled Government. It will represent the Democratic party of Indiana; not cliques, factions or men. It will be impartial towards all candidates for party favor but whoever it may select as candidates for public position, and its representative men, it will be our object to elect end sustain. The Sentinel will pay especial attention to COMMERCIAL news, ‘he AGRICULTURAL interests of the State, and all miscellaneous intelligence I W e have made arrangements for the news by I telegraph as full as the Cincinnati papers. This will add largely to our expenses, for which we hope to be remunerated by an increased circula- | tion.
