|. CONFIDENCE your articles and make them
as brief as possible.
2. Never send us a communication unless
you are sure it has point
3. Never expect to see your commu-
nications in print unless you can write gram
maiically, and can do your own spelling and
punctuation.
L. Never write on both sides OF your pa
per, If you intend your Article TO be printed.
1t is a great Inconvenience 10 the compositor,
and can scarcely be tolerated, unless The COM
munica,ion is from distance.
5. Never bore an editor by reading your
article TO him Leave il TO his direction, and
bide your time.
6. Never ask an editor the news--it is
like getting professional advice without fees,
or smuggling goods. Take his paper. pay
for it, and then you will get the news without
inquiry.
7. 1t is a great mistake to suppose that an
EDITORS saaetum is public reading ROOM
To tumble and read AN editors exchanges, is
as bad as rilling the fountain where the

8. When you wish 10 discontinuea paper

always remembering that an editor forever
sells him down as no geatiemaa who after re-

OUR DAILY PATHS.

There's beauty all around our paths, if but our
watchiul eyes
Can trace it midst familiar things, s. through
their lowly guise;
We may find it where hodge-row showers
its blossoms DER our way,
Or a cottage window sparkles forth in the
last red light Of day.
We may find it where spring shines clear
beneath an aged tree,
With the foxglove DER the waters glass,
borne downwards by the bee,
Or where swift and sunny CLEAN on the
biichen stems is thrown,
AS a soft wind, playing, parts the leaves, in
copses green and lone.
We may find it i'm the winter bouqhs. as they
cross the cold blue sky,
While soft on icy pool and stream their pen
cil'd shadows lie,
When we look upon their tracery, by the
fairy frost-work bound,
Whence the fitting red-breast shakes show
er OF crystals to the ground.
Yes! beauty dwells in all our paths--but
sorrow too is there;
How eft some cloud within us dins the BRIGHT
still summer air;
When we carry our sick heart abroad amidst
the joyous things
That through the leaty places glance on many
colored wings.
With shadows from the past we fill the hap
ply woodland shades,
And mournful memory of the dead is with
us in the glades;
And our drean-like fances lend the wind an
echo's plaintive tone
OF voices and of melodies, and of silvery
laughter gone.
But are we free to do even thus-to wander
as we will
Bearing sad visions through the grove, and
DER the breezy hill
No! in our daily paths lie cares that oitimes
bind us fast,
While from their narrow round we see the
golden day fleet past.
They hold us from the WOODLANDS haunts,
and violet dingles back,
And from all the lovely sounds and CLEANS in
the shining rivers track;
They bar us from our heritage, ofspring-time
hope and mirth,
And weigh our burden'd spirits down with
the crumbling dust to earth.
Yet should this be Too much, too soon.
despondingly we yield!
a better lesson we are taught by the lilies
of the field!
a sweeter by the birds ofheaven-which tell
us, in their flight,
of one that through the desert air forever
guides them right.
Shall not this knowledge calm our hearts, and
bid vain conflicts cease ?
Ay, when they commune with themselves il
holy hours of peace;
And feel that, by the lights and clouds
through which our pathway lies,
by the beauty and the griefalike, we are train
ing for the skies.
