Ri Editing a Newspaper is no easy Task.
ny people estimate the ability Of newspaper
aud the industry and talent of its editor, by
the variety and quantity Of the editorial n1nt-
ter it contains. Nothing can be more falla-
cious. 1t is comparatively an easy task for
a writer to pour out daily columns of sOords,
upon any and all subjects; his ideas may
flow freely, and his command Of language
may enable him to string them together like
a bunch of onions, and yet his paper may be
nengre, poor concern after oil. But q ju.

on patient. Indeed the mere writing part
of editing paper Is but a small portion Of
the work. The industry even is not shown
there. The care, the taste, the time employ
ed in selecting is far more important, for the
tact of good editor Is shown more by his
selections than any thing else !; il is half the
battle. But Gas before observcd) an editor

editors have to do, II will appear that editing
a newspaper is indeed no very easy task

House Of Refuge nearly destroyed. -About
half past 8 o'clock this morning, fire was dis.
covered issuing from the garnet Of the centre
building Of the House Of Refuge. The whole
of the western range occupied by tho boys,
was soon in flames, and entirely destroyed.
The prompt arrival Of the fire engines, and
unceasing efforts Of the firemen, prevented
the part occupied by the girls from being
much injured. Most of the furniture in the
building burned, was saved, and all the boys,
except two or three small ones, who, during
the confusion, made their escape, were secu-
red. The fire was evidently the cause Of de-
sign, and suspicion at present rests on two OF
the boys-one having the care Of the lamps,
and tho other the cooks assistant. MIR. Ter
nv. the Superintendent, had left for the city
on business but short time before the fire
broke ont II was not possible to estimate the
loss-probably Is or 2O.OOO.-ib. .se .5ss
