THE PRESS.

The Edltsr Of newspaper has frequently
been compared to the man with an ass, who
neither by walking nor riding. leading, dri-
wing or carrying, could please ,be people
whom he met on he road till in a fit of fury
he threw his ASS into river, and then to be
sure every body was delighted with the fro
lie. The similitude is very lust one, and
though some folks may think that 10 the case
OF an Editor, the sooner the man throws a.
way the ass the better, this is an antiauated
maxim, and it much eftener happens in this
enlightened age, that the ass filings the man
and Jogs on by himself, along the beaten path
which asses have trsddcn since the creation,
and which they will tread TO the end of the
world-the path Of drudgery, dullness and
servllity. New that it is far more polite for
an EdItsr, aud particularly country one, to
play the ass than the man, is very evident,
from the fact that the former has a much
greater chance to please the public than the
| latter:-ier II he will only permit every fool
to lead, and every blockhead to ride him, he
may do whatever he likes beside, he may
trampe upon erc,y thing, provided he will
let erery body trample upon him Now as the
ass will patiently submit to all these indigni-
ties, and the man to none Of them, he must
even fight bis way as peaceably as he can,
through world Of opposition. Yet terrible
AS such life Of conflict must be, he has no
thing to do butmarch full onwardin straight
direction, to bear dswn every antagonist be-
fore him; for in right line, even if he be
| pigmy he will be inviacble; but if he declines
in the Il asst from the gritty Of bis path, 10
the one hand or the other, though he may be
giant, he falls in an instant, and his enemies
| fall toe but they fall upsn him; and ship
in storm might as well appeal to The merry
Of the winds and waves, as the Editor OF
newspaper cry fer quarter when be is Oh
ground which is NOT his own.
I The truth is simply this, and zee have long
since discovered it, that it is no more the ti,.-
ty Of an Editor to please every body, than il
his interest to please nobody, and he has on
| ly to consider trhorn he will please, to decide
whether he will be man or AN assonthe high
way OF the public. Raleigh Register.

THE DRUNKARp.

What shrieks arc those which rcnd the

turned from the company 81 his jug compan-

Hearken 10 the vollies ofexecrations which
this iniuriated wretch is dwelling at tho unof-
Tending wife of his bosom!
See his children flying from their parental
rooi as il pursued by some ferocious beast of
prey; whilst this chivalrous knight Of the Jug
is brandishing high in the air a glittering
knife, and exulting in his undaunted yaler,
as manifested IN "clearing the house," as he
vauntingly terms it.
What monster in this land of Bibles !. a
drunkard! Utterly regardless OF his swn
temporal as well rs eternal welfare, 4 there
fore pursuing with gigantic strides the read
which leads TO the tenebrious gulf of perdi
ton, he appears anxious also for the ruin of
those who ought to be near and dear to him
by tue ties of consanguinity. His wife, the
mother OF h's children, is treated like a beast
OF burden, and those dear little pledges Of
their union, instead of having their juvenile
minds stored With the sacred precepts of the
gospel, are accustomed daily to he ar the hor-
