per the easiest part of the business
How great an error 1t is by all means
| the most difficult. To look over and over
| hundreds of exchange papers every week,
| from which to select enough for one, es-
| peclaly when the question is, not what
shall, but what shall not be selected, is no
easy task. If every person who reads a
newspaper could have edtedit. we should
hear less complaints. Not unfrequentiv
is it the case that an editor looks over all
his exchange papers for something inter.
esting, and can absolutely find nothing
Every paper is drer than a contribution
box; and yet something must be had his
paper must come out with something In it,
and he does the best he can. To an edit
or who has the least care about what he
selects, the writing that he does is the ca
sest part of his labor. A paper when
completed, should be one that the editor
should be willing to read aloud to his wife,
his mother. his sister. or his daughter;
and if he do that, if he gets out such
paper, he will find his labor a most diff
ficul. one. Every subscriber thinks the
paper is printed for his special benefit;
and if there is nothing in it that suits him,
it must be stopped-it is good for nothing.
Some people look over the deaths and mar
riages, and actually complain of the edit
or, if but few people, in his vicinity, have
been fortunate to get married the pre-
vious week, or so unfortunate as to die
An editor should have these things in his
paper whether they occur or not. Just
as many subscribers as an editor may have,
so many different tastes has he to consult.
One wants stories and poetry; another
abhors all this. The politician wants no.
thing but politics. One must have some
thing smart, another something sound
One likes anecdotes, fun, and froick, and
the next door neighbor wonders that
man of sense will put such stuff in a pa
per. We only wish that every man,
woman, and child, who reads paper,
were compelled but for one single month
to edit one. They would then find that
it is not quite SO easy matter as they
suppose

MOTHER How sweet is the recollec-
ton in after years of n mothers tender
training! 1t were well that to a mother
this duty should be confined. if it were
only for the delicious pleasure of musing
upon it after many long years of struggle
with the cold realities of life. Who is
there that finds no relief in recurring TO
the scenes of his infancy and youth, gill
ded with the recollection of mothers
love and a mothers tenderness And
how many have noblv owned that to the
salutary influence then eyerted they must
atIectionately ascribe their future success,
their avoidance of evil when no eye was
upon them, but when rested on the heart,
the warnings, the prayers, and tears of
mother?

The convict took his child upon his
knee, and looked sadly and fxedly in his

gasped, "give him another name let

At this moment a sound of footsteps
was heard; the keys ratified in the heavy

IN the doorway. Pale, cold, and half

in a deathgrasp, the cold fingers of the

Our PREsIDENTs.-The Constitution,
says the Washington Union. has been in
operation from the Sd Of March, 1889,
being period of SO years in the course
of which we have had eleven Presidents.
OF these, eight have sunk into the tomb;
and only one of them leave a son behind
him. The last three Presidents survive,
viz Mr.. Van Buren,, Mr.. Tyler, and the
acting President, Mr.. Polk. These fill
up period of eleven years, commencing
with Mr.. Van Buren,, who assembled the
chair on the 4th of March, 1887 There
have been eleven Vice-Presidents, of
whom five are still living. Every thing
in act, proves the mutability Of human
affairs. But while our distinguished cit
liens leave us with such rapidity-prov-
ing what shadows we are, and what
shadows we pursue'-we should offer
vows TO Providence, and pray that the
republic itself may live forever.
