Farewell to peace, to joy and thee, Thou charmer of this tortur’d heart! Farewell! those sweets which must me fiee, And leave behind the venom'd dart.
My soul to tender vows inclin’d,
Must ever beat in silent grief—
I to my fate will be resigned,
For hope sti | leads me to relief.
If ever feeling bound thy breast,
With sympathy of seul divine,
Grant but to me that peaceful rest Which once I[ knew, but now is thine. Blend, oh! blend in amorous piay,
The sweeis which true born Jove imparts: Let’s taste them in the noontide day,
sink te peace our throbbing hearts. And sink te p g af aly

‘Printer’s Devit’!—This is an appellation which most of our reader’ must have often heard; but, as many of them may not be aware of its origin, we copy the following explanation for their use.
In the adventure of Dr. Faustus and the Sorbonne at)
Paris, we seem to have the origin of the opinion, that the printers have occasion for the assistance of a super-. natural personage in the progress of their labors, with) whom all the rest of the world is most anxious to avoid| any very intimsie acquaintance, And were there no. other complaints against his Satanic majesty, than that) ofassisting John Faust to bring to perfection the art of) printing, we certainly should have no right to stigma-| tize hinas being of so malignant a disposition, as he is. commonly represented.
The ‘ Printer’s Devil’ is a character almost identified with the origin of the art, and we may consider our-' selves peculiarly fortunate in having a guardian ex- clusively assigned to us, from whom notwithstanding | his general bad conduct to other people, we have so| little ty apprehend, and who is commonly our fuithful | assistant both in our labors and our pleasures. From| hence also the legend of the * Devil and Dr. Faustus,’
In further elucidation, we may inform our readers, | that the youngest apprentice of a printer is called the * Devil” and he generally rans all the messages, and | conveys the proofs of works in the press, between the printer and the author.
