ol HIS the udy oeiore,Dy substituting gchlnt2 for cheese, making it read, ia qauntity of chintz from one of the first dairies Tn the county might be corrected. The comPositeF was called, the manuscript was produced, and found printed yer batlm, and Mir. Dry Goods hastily left the office to correct his own mistakes. Mir. Vinegar Cruet, the village gro cer, wished that .smoked herrines' '' might be put in capitals, as he wished to draw the attention of the public to that article.
 A young gentlemanenteredandhan ed small packet of papers to the edi- tor and left the office. His manner plainly enough indicated that he belong ed to the class of idIers who contribute their mite to inc ephelnerai columns oi the day.
 @Mr. Editor,n said q fat old fellow who sat wheezing in his easy char, you give too much room to such idle fellows; who cares for their literature a d their essays? had rather read debate in congress, or our legislature, than all the literary trash which the whole tribe oi scrlbbler8 can produce in year."
 "Perhaps, Eir. Grumblegumtion, 1t may be so with you, but you will be so good as to recollect there are numerous persons who patronise a paper merely for the miscellaneous articles 1t contains, and who rarely, if ever, look at a eon- gresslonal debate; and We caterers for the public must consult the inclination and taste of all, so far as is consistent with the paramount obligations we owe to society,""
 "But l tell you,7 interrupted Grum- blegumtion, ''that no advantage what ever lsderiyed froin.all the tales, essay $ and poetry, which tie present genera tiof has produced-the only'-

Go-Betueens.-There is perhaps not q more odious character in the world than that of a go-between. By which l mean that creature who carries to the ears of one neighbor every injurious ob- servation that happens to drop from the mouth of another. Such a person is the slandercr's herald and is altogether more odious than the slanderer, himself. By his vile olliciousness he makes that poison effective, which else were inert: for three-iourths of the islanders in inc world would never injure their object, except by the malaee of go-betweens. who under the mask of double friend ship, act the part of double traitors.

it proper that the friends of regular nom-
nations, made in conformity to the views
and wishes ofthe people should be prompt
and early in their attendance at the polls
on Wednesday next. We must confess
that we are utterly at loss to account
for the conduct oftwo of the Providence
papers in their mode of canvassing the
coming election. The prox with Gov.
Fenner at the head, and containing the
names ofthe worthy Senate Of 1923, was
agreed upon after great delibcration-
ter weighing the matter thoroughly, and
after viewing the whole ground. Yet some
gentlemen who were instrumental in call
ing the Convention by which that nomi-
nation was made, and who were also loud
and deep in their praises Of the political
talents, wisdom and integrity of that meet
ing, in the very next breath impugn
their firmness, if not their honesty, and
rccklessly endanger the election of the
Senate for the sake of venting, what
might seem to some, too closely to border
on private and personal animosity. We
war net so, against even our enemies,
when the battle must be fought over the
heads and at the hazard ofthe best inter-
ests Of our friends. We say to our friend
of the Journal that he made no mistake
in saying that this paper was "desigaed
to support national republican principles
and that he made GROSS mistake and
did us severe injustice, when he SAID that
the Herald had already departed from its
object. The path of duty is too plain,
and We are too familiar with its course,
so soon to lose our way. We endeavor in
politics as in every thing else, to raise
ourselves above the influence ofpersonal
considerations, especially where duty, as
in this case, SO clearly demands that tri-
fling sacrifice.
