WHAT CONSTITUTES AN Err oR.-The rage
for newspapers, or rather the rage for editorial
and publishing notorle,y. continues not only
undated. but on the increase. Few voca,ons
in life minister more, for a lime. at least, to a
mans vanity. than that Of journalist: hence
The itching To assume il, yet :here are hundreds
who, when they get into ii. fnd they are fair
ly entrapped, aud heartily repent Of their mis-
take. Ii is no bed Of roses, this newspaper
life, and few If the many that enter il. have
the tact. patience and industry. necessary to
success; for without these qualifications in a
liberal degree, the brightest talents are una
vailing 10 the ultimate success Of editorial en-
terprize. Journalism is of itself vocation
that requires great deal Of training and prac-
iical application to he master of--afier man
has attained the highest literary honors, he
must 60 through This period of probation be-
fore he is fitted for the task Of daily Editor.
And after all the educatinn-after all the prac-
iice-if a man does not combine, in great DE-
gree, common sense-a knowledge Of human
natnre-of life in its practical sphere--even
temper-hai sort Of industry that knows no
iiTlng, but can spur man Oh TO never-endng,
still-hsgihning iahors. frequently attended with
vexa'ious incidents-n niess he is so fortified
for his undertaking. he can never, as an Edi-
tor. reach an elevated position, or derive much
profit from his Observation-Disclosures Compiler.

HEADING CAPTAIN TYLER.-We have hereto

thus lay him under the necessity of using the
veto, or incuring the impu,ation Of inconsistent
CIV. We have given what seemed to be an M
stances of this, in the temporary revenue Oil,
which has gone to the senate, and which vlo-
Iaies the compromise. and also the condition
ON which the land distribution bill was passed.
We have now to point TO another instance OF
the same policy: that Of the mandaMus and
fractional repre- sentaton bll-now passed both

the same clause in it fur which General Nash
ington vetoed the superintendent bill Of 1890.
and against which Mr.. Tyler voted seven times.
on yeas and nays, in the senate Of the United
States in the session Of 1881 and 1882 Mr.
Tyler then voted against the fractional repre-
sen.ation in every form in which II could be
presented and in such company as Tazewe'''
'rroup. White, King, Forsyth. Mangnm, &c..
aud against Mr.. Webster. who was then an
advocate for fractional representation. IT was

AN ALLEGoRY.--lt was night, Jerusalem
slept quietly amid her hills as child upon
the breast Of it mother. The noiseiess sen,i-
mel stood like static at his post, and the phi
losopher's light burned dim!y in the recesses
of fis chamber.
But darker nigh, was abroad upon the
earh.-A moral darkness involved the nations
in its Enlightened shadows. Reason shed a
faint glimmering over the minds Of men. like
the cold and inefficient shining Of distant
star. The Immortality of mans spiritual ma
ture was unknown, his high relation TO Heaven
undiscovered, and his future destiny obscured
in cloud of my stery.
1t was at this period that two forms Of ethe-
rial mould lowered above the land of Gods
chosen people. They seemed sister angels
sent to earth on some embassy OF love.
The one was Of majestic stature, and in the
well formed limbs which her snowy drapery
scarcely concealed, in her erect bearing and
steady eye, were exhibited the highest degree
of strength and confidence. Her right arm
was extended in an impressive gesture upward,
where night appeared to have shed her dark
est pavilion, while Oh her left reclined her del
ica,e companion, in form and conn,enancs tho
contrast Of the other, for she was dropping
Iik the flower when unlnoistened by refresh.
ing dews, and her bright hut troubled eye,
scanned the air with ardent but varying
glmces.
Suddenly light as Of the sun flashed out
from the heavens, and Faith and Hope hailed
with exallIng songs tie ascending Star Of
Bethlehem.
Years rolled away and stranger was seen
in Jerusalem. He was meek and unassu-
ming man, whose happiness seemed to consist
in acts Of benevolence 10 the human race.
There were deep traces Of sorrow in his coun-
tenance, though none Enew why he grieved.
for he lived in the practice Of every virtue, and
was loved by all the wise and good.
BY and by it was rnmored that the stranger
worked miracles. that the blind saw, the dumb
spake, and the dead leaped to life at his touch;
that when he commanded. the ocean modera.
ted its chatting tide, and the very thunders ar
,icnlaed, ..IIe is the Son Of God"
Envy assaulted him with the charge Of sor.
Gerry. and the voice ofimpious Judges condemn.
ed him unto death. Slowly and thick guard
ed he assembled the hill of Calvary. A heavy
cross bent him to the earth; 5ut Faith leaned
upon his arm, and Hope, dipping her pinions
in his hlnod mounted 10 the skies.

The large popul1us, and in every point OF view
important Senatorial di'uict, composed OF the sicr-
ling Democratic counties Northumberland, Lycom.
ing, Clinton aud Genre, has never hitherto, IN
whole or in part, been honorcd with the Speaker in
either branch Of the Pennsylvania legislature. IL
boots not now, Mr.. Editor, 10 inquire whether this
arises from apathy on the part Of the Democracy
of the district, or from the overwoeing ambition of
other sections. But thing is Prored by ihe
general fact alluded to- and that s that unless the
citizens of the district put forward and insist upon
their claim on behalf of their representatives., TO
fair distribuliye share of legislative honoTs, they will
continue TO he treated Pennsylvania has hither'
been in relation 10 the Presidency. This, MI. Ed-
tor should not be, foI although should admit that
honors are but "pulfs of noisy breath or "emply
air." still it is right and proper that the district
should assert its claim to, and receive its share of
them as the evidence OF that respec, and confidence
from which honors of the kind alluded TO proceed.
have been, therefore, highly graliiied with The Ell
fort on the part of the Lycomng Gazette 10 bring
forward our Senator, Maj. r. Fleming, as a candi.
date fo the station of Speaker of the Senate at the
coming session of that body. And hope, Mt T.
ditor, that you and all the editors of Democratic
papers throughout the district, will promptly and
dccsively come to the rescue, and assert our right
whoever may gaiusay or resist. This conceive to
be especially proper this time, as 1t must be con-
ceded, that our esteemed, capable aud 'ficen, Sc
nsror, Mai Fleming, in experience and knowledge
of paramen,ary proceedings, is second TO no other
