 Editorial Duties.--The miseries of editOI S have become trite subject of remark how ever oft-repeated tale they may have grown they are not the less painful and pPrplexing. Most people think that the great difficulty in conducting a newspaper is to 6ud matter with which to fill it But the reverse is the fact. The difficulty consists in selection from the great mass of matter which presents it. self A large sheet may be more easily filed than small one, as the contents are not re- quired to be quite so select A majority of newspaper readers also imagine. that the ed itOrs' great care is to make their papers good but, on the contrary, what puzzles them most, and IS the most difficult to guard against. is the danger of their being too good. For instance, they may be too amusing, and they will not please those who prefer weighty matter; or on the other hand they may be of too useful chars cter, and be dry and dull to those who seek entertainment merely. They may be made too interesting. by crowding them with, exciting fictions,and high wrought details of the events and crimes of real life i; this is satiating and sickening to those whose good taste rejects such excitement. They may contain too much of politicks, of news, of literature, of scirnce,or OfpOetry; and req drrs who are not interested iN such matters, will throw aside the papers, as destitute of interest. A proper medium must be obser' ed; and in this manner a newspaper may be- come useful, instructive, and entertaining But proper medium is difficult to hit and few editors have the felicity to succeed in ev sry respect. To interest every class of req ders, without giving too much place to any particular class, is the object ofalI and hap py is he who acquires, even by long experi- ence, the secret of fsuccess.-HaLtO,CeU G0z- .ette.

A GRECIAN HEROINE.

Sophia Condutimo was the wife of an off, cer of distinction, who fell during the siege of Mssolonghi. When the Turks entered the town, she ran among the crowd who sought to escape the fury of the enemy accompanied by her son and daughter. They had not pro- ceeded far, when the mother perceived par ty of Turks coming tow ards them: mortified at the fate which was about to befall her love ly daughter, beautiful girl of sixteen, she turned to the son, who was armed, and told him to shoot his sister, lest she should become victim to Mussulman brutality. The youth instantly obeyed the awful mandate, drew pistol from his glrdle,and lodged the contents. four large slugs, in his sisters head, when she fell to the ground apparently lifeless cOrse. Thus relieved from charge which the mo- ther could not preserve. herself and son en- deavOred to take refuge in cavern. Just as they were entering in, grape shot struck the boy in the leg Scarcely had the mother suc- ceeded in dragging him after her than piq- uet of Turkish cavalry came up; one of the party drawing forth pistol, pointed it at the temple Ofpo0r Sophia, who sternly rising, looked boldly at the Turk and exclaimed :-- [" Barbarian i! do you not see that am a wo- man." This appeal had the desired effect, and both the mother and her sUn were spar ed, to be condemned into slavery. The most extraordinary part of the story remains yet to be told. Being among the two hundred ransomed ny the Continental Greek Commit tees. they were sent over.to Corfu, and plac- ed with the others. Judge of the mothers astonishment. on finding that her imaginary
 murdered daughter, was among the number. To be brief on perceiving that she was fe-
 male, the Turks carried her into captivity. af- ter having bound up her wounds, which had all the appearance Ofbeing mortal. Her sto- " attracted the attention of the ransOming a. gents. the interesting Cresula was rescued from bondage, and what is more, thus singu- larly destinedsto he once more restored to
 the arms of of her discOnsolate parent.-[ BlO- quere's Letters from Greece.

PRODIGALITY.

That Mr. Adams and his Cabinet were ex- travagant'in the use of publick money have not hitherto belleved-l have had the most unwaVerIng confidence in their prudence and good management. But candor obliges me to say that the following report should it be found true, will make lasting impression on my mind-and as trust upon the minds of the people also. It is this; while the want of money is every where felt, and an uncom- mon pressure clouds the hopes and threatens the fortunes of thousands of our fellow cit- zens engaged in commerce, while the farmer can scarcely get money enough to pay his tax es, and the manufactures suffer for want of protection, the administration, (unparalelled extravaganza } are about to take another slice of fre millions to pay of the national debt!
