EDITING A PAPER.

Hear what the National Intelligent
cer,' published by Messrs. Gales &
Seaton, at Washington City, one OF
the most valuable and ably conducted
papers in. the country, says about edi-
ting a newspaper
MANY people estimate the ability OF
newspaper and the industry and tai
ents Of its editor, by The quantity Of ed
itolial matter which ii contains. 1t is
comparatively an easy task for frothy
writer to pour out daily columns Of
words words, upon any and all sub
lects. His ideas may flow in one
weak, washy, everlasting food,' and
his command of language may enable
him TO string them together ike bun
Iches of onions, and yet his paper may
be meagre and poor concern. But
what is the labor, the toll of such a
man, who displays his 1eaded matter
ever so largely, to that imposed on the
judicious, well informed editor, who
exercises his vocation with an hourly
consciousness Of its responsibilities and
It's duties, and devotes himself to the
coduct of his paper with the same care
and assiduity that sensible lawyer be-
slows upon suit, or humane physi--
clan upon patient, without regard to
show or display! Indeed, the mere
writing part Of editing a paper, IS but
small portion ofthe work. The IN
dustry is not even shown there. The
care, the time employed in selecting, is
far more important-and the tact Of a
good editor is better shown by his
selections than by any thing else; and
that we all know is half the battle.
But as wehave said, an editor ought
to BE estimated and his labors UNDER
stood and appreciated, BY the general
conduct of his. paper>-its tone, It's
temper, its uniform, consistent course
its principles, its aims, its maniness,
its dignity, its proprieiy: TO pre-
serve these as they should be preserv-

and attention Of any man. Il TO this

Speaking Of the middle ranks OF

There we behold woman in all her

proiane acoratlon-reveren4d to-day,
discarded tomorrow; always jostled
out of the place which nature and So
ciety would assign her, by sensuaIity,
Or by contempt; admired, but not res
pected; desired, but not esteemed, ru-
ling by passion, not affection; impart-
ing her weakness, not Ter consistency,
10 the sex she should exalt; the source
and mirror of vanity;we see her wife.
partaking tire cares, and cheering the
anxiety of a husband, dividing his tolls
by her domestic diligence, spreading
cheerfulness around her; for lis sake
sharing the decent refinements of the
world, without being vain Of them;
placing all her joys and happiness in
the man she loves. AS mother, we
find the affectionate, the ardent in
structress of the children whom she
has tended from :heir infancy; training
them TO thought and benevolence; adj
dressing them as rational beings; pre-
pairing them to become men and we-
men in their turn. Mechanics daugh
