NEWSPAPER EDITORS

Are an abused race ofbeings. Ifa remark
drops from one Of them in the hurry Of com
position, which may not be exactly agreeable
to the canons of correct taste, he never hears
the last Of tit is set down as the sign OF a
deliberate and fixed principle in his heat, and
his offence pronounced objectionable. Peo-
pie should reflect upon their own conversa-
ton for moment, and think how mach they
utter every day Of their lives which would
look great deal worse in print than any thing
they ever saw in the columns of newspaper.
1t should be remembered also, that an Editor
of paper is obliged to write with as little re-
Election as people generally pursue desulto-
ry conversation-he has no time allowed him
to weigh his words and prune his sentences,
he must dash on-think quick and write quick,
or else 'the press will wait" Under such cir
lcumstances his hasty expressions should be
received with charity, for not unfrequently
he condemns them as sincerely and heartily
as any of his readers, when it is too late to al
ter them.
There is n great fondness in many people
to make an Editor do what they shrink from
themselves. A correspondent will attack
private character under pretence Of serving
the public, when in fact he is only gratifying
his own malice and throw all the odium of the
act upon the Editor-he (the author) must not
be knoWn-oh, no! he'll meet the individual
he has assailed with all the apparent friend
ship in the world, and very likely join with
him in abusing the Editor for admitting into
his columns so offensive a communications
Men who appear very soft and amiable under
their own proper signatures, are frequently the
most intoleraut and abusive when writing a.
anonymously; the luckless Editor is made to
bear the odum of all that is bad in his cores
pondent's character, while the correspondent
is careful to appropriate to himself all that is
estimable. The truth is, Editors are too ca
sy and good natured-they work for the pub
lie good, generous souls, and are willing to
submit to any Inconvenience, or injustice, if
they can promote the object of their pursuit.

ELEGANT ExTRAcr.--Alas! how little do
we appreciate mothers tenderness while living!
how needless are we in youth Of all her anxieties
and kindness. But when she is dead and gone
when the cares and coldness of the world come
whitening to our hearts-when we find how hard
it is to find true sympathy, how few love us for
ourselves, how few befend us in our msfor-
tunes, then il is that we think of the mother we
have lost.-It is true, ! had always loved my
mother, even in my most needless days; but I felt
how inconsiderate and Intellectual had been my
love. My heart melted as retraced the days Of
infancy, when was led by a mothers hand. and
rocked to sleep in mothers arms, and was with
out care and sorrow. "Oh, mother!" exclaim-
ed I, burying my face again in the grass of the
grave-"Oh that were once moie by your side /:
sleeping, never to wake again, on the cares and
troubles of this world"

posing scale. Men look upon heap Of the
shining trash, and they are at once immortal,
they never think Of dying-and when death
comes, and lays his icy hand upon them, they
look at their treasure instead Of their God for
help. The Redeemer himself was sold for
price, and the principles of blessed religion,
as now taught, have lost all their original SIM
plicity and purity, beneath the gliding of
wicked and designing hypocrites. Religion,
virtue, and patriotism, in this degenerate
age, are measured by the golden standard.-

EXTRACT FROM BEECHER's LECTURES ON
SKEpTICIsM.-Twce in France, the physical
power has gained the ascendency over law,
and by the victory, the discovery has been
made, that to patriots, cities are fortresses,
and pavemcnts, muntions.-This Is one OF
the most glorious and dreadful discoveries OF
modern days-glorious in its ultimate results
in the emancipating Of the world, but dread
ful if those intervening revolutions which
man achieves in the conquest OF liberty, are
without corresponding intelligence and vir-
tue for its permanent preservation.
The conquest of liberty is not difficult
the question is, where to put it-with whom
to entrust it. If to the multitude who a.
chieved it, it be committed, it will perish by
anarchy. If national guards are employed
for its defence, the bayonets which protect 1t
are at any moment able to destroy it for a
military despolism. If TO a republican king
it be entrusted, it will have to be regulated
by state policy and fed OH bread and water,
until the action OF her heart, and the move
ment of her tongue, and the power other arm
under the deadly incubus, shall cease
There Is not in Mis a0ide a0Orld a safe deposit
for liberty, but in the hearts Of patriots so en-
ightened, as to be able to Judge Of correct leg
isidtion, and so patient and diSinterested, as TO
practice self.arnial aud selfgouanment for The
public good.
But can such state of society be found
and maintained without a bible and the instl-
tutions of Christianity? Did a condition Of
unperverted liberty uninspired by Christianl-
ty, ever bless the world throughout any con-
siderable period Of duration? The power of a
favorng cline and the force of genius, did
thrust up from the dead level Of monotonous
despotism, the republic of Greece to tenn
porary liberty; but it was patent model on
ly, compared with such n nation as this; and
it was partial and capricious and Of short du
ration and rendered illustrious, rather by the
darkness which preceded and followed, than
by the benign influence of its own beams.
Certainly it is Christianity which, in this
country rocked the cradle of our liberties, de-
Tended our youth and brought US to manhood.
And it has been proved that under her aus
pices three millions and twelve millions of
people may be protected, and governed. But
that twenty, fifty or hundred millions can,
without vast augmentation OF our moral
power over mind has not yet been proved
whilst all past analogies and all present cir
cumstances Of our nation announce that
Christianity is our best nope, and that with.
out it our destruction does not slumbcr.
During all past ages, the vast majority of
the human family, unblest by revelation, have
been idolators and slaves; and at the present
time all nations upon whom the son of right
eousncss has not arisen, are crushed by the
devious despotsm. Daylight is not more u
inform in the track of the sun, than civil lib
erty is found in the track Of Christianity and
despotism in its absence.

THOUGHTS

On the Balcony Of Deronshne House, at day
break-(A Ball ,cithin.)
Morn in tie east! How coldly fair
1t breaks upon my fever'd eye!
How chides the calm and dewy aF!
How chides the pure and pearly sky!
The stars melt in brighter FIRE,
The dew in sunshine leaves the flowers
They from their watch in light retire,
While we in sadness pass from ours
/ turn from the rebuking morn,
The cold gray sky and fading star,
And listen to the players horn,
And see the walters near and far;
The lamps and flowers are bright as yet,
And lips beneath more bright than they
How can a scene 80 fair beget
The mournfll thoughts we bear away!
IT'S something that thou art not here,
Sweet lover Of my lightest word!
IT'S something that my mothers tear
BY these forgetful hours is stirr'd;
But have long loiterer been
In haunts where Joy is said to be,
And though with Peace I enter in,
The nymph comes never forth ,oi.h me!

WHAT Is IT LIKE? ?-Can you count to me
the woes of this desolating flood? Can you
count to me the leaves of autumn? Can you
estimate to me the broken hearts-the bro
ken vows-its ruin and its plague? Can
you not as we'll measure the sea, and weigh
me in balance, its sands? Whence COM
eth poverty and famine,-whence lunacy and
madness ;-whence come family ruin and
disorder ;-whencc come the greatest, might
lest, and most appalling evils Of life-your
robberies, and murders and fires, and ship
wrecks; come they not from DRINK? Why
is it that the mother shudders aud trembes,
in her heart of hearts! as on the night winds
she hears the whoop and the halo, Of some
noisy, riotous, and maddened sounds ;-and
shall distinguish her own boy. The wife ST.
lently, PAGES her solitary room, and anon she
looks at each passer- by; then comes the still
ness Of midnight, and yet her solitude is un-
broken-by and by there comes the stumb-
ling tread, the faltering foot of him, who
once with light and gallant step carried joy
and gladness to her heart. .Noio what is it ?
Does it give joy; does it bring cheerfulness,
and happiness, and domestic bliss? As well
might you ask, ifto some condemned crimi-
nal, the foot-step Of the executioner sounded
like music to his ears.--Happiness has for
ever deserted the heart Of that mother-of
that wife; aye, of that husband and that
chid-all is ruin:-the heart strings of
those wives and mothers have been so
tortured and mangled, and torn, that they
cannot be attuned to the melody of bappi-
ness. Christianity may bring its solace--
but it likewise brings its wo! Religion may
soothe, but it may likewise rend. Oh! who
can estimate, who can enumerate, who can
fathom the depth of that misery, which on
every hand, in every community, in almost
every family of this extensive country is
spreading itself?
