The Editor.
A singular profession is that of the
Editor. It is no blood relative of the
others, but assumes tho position of a
recorder, a memorialist, and tho im
mortalizer of tho entire range of what
ever interests humanity. It has its
joys
labors
and sor^
and recreations. It
places itself upon tho strong founda
tion of intelligence and human laws
it has its airy ramblings and, like a
carrier-dove in its flights, conveys to
a waiting world tho result of kuowl
edge, and wit, and gentimeut, as tho
times demand. It is not so much an
acquirement as a living taleut,
sui
ffrneris
it requires tact and foibles
peculiar to itself it has its devotees,
its virtues and its vices.
It has been called an unthankful, an
ungracious profession and if parti
san or corrupt motives govern tho Ed
itor's existence, it is both unthank
ful, for ho deserves no gratitude and
ungracious, for ho is no friend of hu
manity. Dot tho Editor who retains
his normal position of a Cod created,
self-sustaining,earnest worker, believ
ing in his mauhood and the impor
tance of his mission—as one who con
siders his duty paramount to all the
obstructions that gather in his path,
his purposo pure, and his endeavors
acceptable to the people—is the peer
of pt iuces for he sways a scepter

It may prove salutary. It is a
proof of interest in tbo iudividual,
which will geuorally be taken kindly,
