the inside and outside Guardian: the secretary,
and the Treasurer.
After the candidate has been proposed, bal
Iloted for, and accepted. on the night of initia-
ton he is taken into the preparation room. by
the one who proposed him, and prepared by
Iblindfolding. He is then conducted to the doc,
of the lodge, by the outside guardian, who
knocks on it three times, on hearing which the
inside guardian answers the raps by three more,
opens the door, & inquiries, who comes there?'
The outside guardian replies. a stranger, who
wants admission to this ancient and honorable
order of firm and independent odd-fellows.
1.-The inside guardian returns to the lodge and
|says- Most Worthy Vice, a stranger wishes

NEWSPAPER EDIToRs. Every Editor of a
newspaper, should learn by heart the fable Of
the man, his son and the iackass. As the poor
man was reproved alike for leading or riding
1.-THE ass, &c., so an editor, whether he write or
let 1t alone, be politician or no politician, can
not please all-and unless he comes to the de-
Termination with the aforesaid man in the fable
Ito please himseLf-he is doomed to have a
wretched time of it. If Editors could change
shapes with Proteus to advantage they could
mot accommodate themselves to all DISPOSE
lions. newspaper is kind of ala bodyida-
a dish of all sorrs-and it is hard if readers
cannot pick out something to suit their palates
IF they find such. they should not grumble
that other ingredients are intermixed for other
tastes. If Editors are not like the Indian
Chief broiled on living GOALS, they can, at least
say with him, they do not lie on bed of roses,
1t is life of toll and anxiety, and seldom af-
fords remuneration half commensurate with
the labor performed Baltimore liaryiander.
Pleasure is a shadow; wealth is vanity: and
power pageant: but knowledge is extatic en-
joyment-perrennial in fame, unlimited in
space. and infinite in duration.
In the performance of its sacred Offices, it
tears no danger-spares no cxpense-omits no
exertion. 1t scales the mountain-looks into
