TIE RIGHT KIND OF A WIFE.

A New Y ork editor says he had an lntro- duetion last week, to the heroine of the fol lowing sketch:
 Mr.--, a merchant, now residing in Philadelphia, who formerly lived in rather an extravagant style, was in the habit, every Monday morning, of giving his wife cer- tain sum of money for table and other house hold expenses of the week, but never men toned hts business to his wife, and she deemng him sufficiently capable of attend ing to his own affairs, never inquired int them. About five years after their marriage through some slight mismanagement, and th' rascal,y of his confidential clerk, Nh suddenly broke, and his fall was mentioned sympaihislngly, on Change, and--like al
 such mai,crs--ihere all sympathy ended Tine merchant kept the aliais secret, ane the first intimaton his lady had ol It, was by paragraph in the Ledger Shortly af- ter dinner was over, on the day of the dis coyery of the startling fact, Ms, re. oucsted her husband to remain in the par Tor (o. few moments, as she had something to say to him.

EDITORS AND ADviSERs.--A Lafcycr is presumed to know his own business better than the unlnltiated. IL is thought nothing more than reasonable that Doctor should know more of the profession to which he is devoted than one who never thinks of it, But, the poor devil of an Edaor knows less ol hls business than any body else: At least thls IS tue prevailing impression with many whom we have seen in our pilgrimage True 1t may be thought, that, to be an expert editor, man requires some experience.-He holds, It may be supposed, commanding post He must know what has been said and done-sometlling of the changes ill the world-he must be enabled through the me- dunn ol his exchanges, through his manifold correspondence, and through the various fa- clllles for information peculiar to his posi- ton, to see better what is going on in tho world, on what topics he should write, how to direct hs energies, to what to devote his attention, ssc., than a man who makes it his chei business to attend to his own private concerns. But, though there is some reason m all this we repeat, many people think the editor the last man in the world to under- stand his own business.-Cin Herald.
